“THE MORE PEOPLE CHANT ABOUT THEIR FREEDOM AND HOW FREE THEY ARE, THE MORE LOUDLY I HEAR THEIR CHAINS RATTLING.” -GEORGE ORWELL
I used to love politics.
I suppose in a way, I had an advantage. Born in the late 70s, I grew up in Reagan’s America. By the time I was eight years old, I watched the nightly news with my dad every single day. We didn’t talk about it unless I had questions, but it was an unspoken ritual; a thing we shared. I remember that feeling of there being a real man in the White House; a man of courage, and honor, a man who could inspire and lead but wouldn’t talk down to the little guy. I wrote him a letter once, when I was about nine. I got a courteous reply — not from him, of course, but from a White House staffer sending back a pre-signed template in his name — but to me, it was the same thing, and I was elated. Being a little kid with a man like Reagan in the White House was not all that different from being a little kid with a good dad. You trusted him to protect you, provide for you, and do whatever dad stuff needed doing. Whatever came up, he could handle it. Even when you weren’t paying close attention to one another — you doing your thing, he doing his — his mere presence was comforting.
With a little over two weeks before the election it’s time that we acknowledge the extraordinary courage demonstrated by Donald Trump during this presidential campaign. Merriam-Webster’s defines courage as, “The ability to do something that you know is difficult or dangerous.”
Trump is a renowned businessman and an entrepreneur who has successfully marketed his brand and image for decades. His construction business has altered the Manhattan skyline forever while his celebrity status created a long-running television ratings hit.
However, while he has no doubt been political for decades, he is not a politician. That is something to remember. And it’s also why his courage is extraordinary.
A very important video from Fr. Michael Orsi & Catholic college students entitled, “Election 2016? Who Will They Bring with Them in to Power?”
“Father Michael Orsi, host of ACTION FOR LIFE.net, joins millennial college students in discussing the presidential election. Focusing on the question; ” who will they bring with them in to power?’, and how that could affect America’s future. PLEASE VOTE!”
Donald Trump spoke with talk show host, Michael Savage, on Monday and affirmed that the situation we are in with Russia “is the worst one we’ve been in since after the Cold War, by far.” Savage drove home Trump’s point by stating “Russia is ordering all of its officials to fly home any relatives living abroad amid heightened tensions over the prospect of global war,” and “Russia tells citizens to find out where the closest bunker is,” warning voters that, under a Clinton administration, war with Russia may be imminent.
This is the year of the outsider. It’s the year of the insurgents; the year of Brexit, and Bernie, and Trump. That’s the political story of 2016. It’s been the story all along, and it remains the story. Don’t forget that. Except now, with only three weeks to go until the election, the establishment wants you to think otherwise. And it might be working.
As we head into the home stretch of this electoral season a series of curious events are unfolding.
“Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will never hurt us.”
Disarming the police will leave us unprotected and defenseless against danger, but words will never hurt us.
Limiting the right to free speech by citing, “political correctness” stunts intellectual growth and will catapult us into a totalitarian regime that our country has never seen before, but words will never hurt us.
Agitating a race war will tear our country apart and cost countless innocent lives, but words will never hurt us.
A young Catholic millennial woman, Kayla Adanalian, recently made us aware of an excellent piece she wrote about accountability. She, unlike many of her generation, is not fooled by the media/ left freak out over Trump while exhibiting zero outrage over Hillary’s crimes. Despite Hillary and the media’s propaganda campaign, this young Catholic woman gives us hope for the election and the future. There are young women out there who see Hillary’s last second smear campaign for what it is and also recognize the real vital issues at stake in this election. With permission we are republishing Ms. Adanalian’s piece below. It can also be found on her blog which we encourage you to check out at: https://kaylaadanalian.wordpress.com/2016/10/13/the-fear-of-accountability/
The following comes from a behavioral scientist PhD reader who makes the following observation:
…I thought you might share my concern about a questionable coincidence I have observed in Jessica Leeds’s recent sexual abuse accusation against Donald Trump, and a statement Senator Tim Kaine made in the vice presidential debate. In the debate, Senator Kaine, in referring to the Trump Foundation, calls it “an octopus-like organization with tentacles all over the world.” In a recent interview, Ms. Leeds, in describing the alleged sexual assault on her by Mr. Trump, states: “All of a sudden, his hands were all over me. He started encroaching on my space, and I hesitate to use this expression, but I’m going to, and that is, he was like an octopus. It was like he had six arms. He was all over the place.”
The similarities in word choice and phraseology seem more than coincidental. Did Ms. Leeds watch the vice presidential debate and innocently borrow the phraseology from Senator Kaine? Or was she professionally coached to speak that way?
I recently viewed two short videos which, when compared to each other, further illustrate the comparison. First, Senator Kaine during the vice presidential debate:
