GET ORGANIZED AND KNOW YOUR ENEMIES. APR.2.2023 DO NOT LET YOUR GUARD DOWN. In reference to counter-Marxist Democrats the great Pandemic imposed on us in the United States that wish to fleece the U.S., weaken & destroy the U.S., get us on our knees, and take away all of our freedoms & liberty Apr.18.2021 the question: What should we do as individuals to fight and defend our Nation.? What are you prepared to do about it? Become the resistance. For starters 1) be and become most informed. 2) know your enemy. 3) get involved. 4) do not wait till doomsday. Marxist democrats are heading the U.S. to doomsday. 4) the open border is a major risk threat. 5) everyone who is able to fish and fetch, and organize groups, must be united under one standard as TRUMPERS, and not just as ordinary citizens that can be persuaded, blindsided, blindfolded, bought, or sold, or too weak to not be able to stand the pressure. Poland was brave with good intentions to punish evil Germany & save the world, but good intentions and bravery are not enough against a formidable enemy with the most toys. Marxist start by wanting us to be gagged, tied up, and on our knees, and make ready for slaughter by "all our enemies". 6) all TRUMPERS must know who are our enemies. 7) we must be in the public eye, and make our presence known. 7) confront the enemy if necessary face to face. 8) body-to-body combat if necessary. 9) demonstrations. 10) rallies. 11) put all your feelings, thoughts, and ideas to good use. 12) blog/vlog. 13) advertise...newspapers, magazines, bumper stickers, mail, jackets, hats, and softball hats, be or become a public speaker at church or organization, and whenever or wherever you are welcomed. 14) have your youtube channel, tv, or radio show, and become a journalist, or reporter. Share, share, share your grain of sand or salt ~ be salty, not lukewarm. 15) be the head, not the tail. The most you can defend is the constitution, the church, the Bible, the word, the family, and your principles. 15) learn to debate.!!!!! Rebuttal, rebuff. 16) Listen intently to each and every segment and detail of what the other person or others have to say. And go prepared and most informed about the news or issues. 17) provide what the real information is and was. Be most well informed about the latest news. Provide what the news speaker did not provide. Expose the news, to him or her. Never lower your guard. Speak up your mind, and whatever is in your heart or spirit. Your aim and mission are to fight on, and on, forever...and always be calm, cool, and recollected. 17) we by so doing must be declaring war on Marxist Democrats. War of ideas, words, and thoughts, and we must prepare, plan and attack them on all means of media communication, and have our presence showing up and known everywhere possible.... So they have a sit-down demonstration.? Okay. We go, we sit down then start a loud party praising God, or Lincoln, and show them a good time. They march.? We march with them, they go one way and we go another way, and if they are tough.? We get tougher. They run.? We chase. Got some ideas.? The sheep will always be sheep, and the chickens will be chickens, we cannot count on them. And conscientious objectors no one can count on them. If they do nothing.? Let them do nothing. But we will show and demonstrate that we care. We should act out of our own will, mind, heart and spirit; and you and I know we will be right. We will succeed for we are God's children and sons.

chad The left has convinced people that the country's problems are those of Identity Politics, that our problems are those of not respecting minorities and those of sexual identity issues. Those aren't our problems. Our problems are those of politicians who have no understanding of real economics and how the economy controls the success of our country. Buying votes by sending unproductive people money for doing nothing is economic ignorance. Allowing crime thinking that it will improve conditions in our cities is insanity. Crime destroys the economy as businesses shut down and jobs therefore disappear. Crime exists where it is allowed to exist and the left is responsible for the explosion of homelessness and crime in our cities.
