In these patriotic days of remembrance between Memorial Day and D-Day, perhaps we should give ample thought to why so many Americans made such heroic sacrifices – defense of freedom and opposition to tyranny, the bastions of American heritage.
Such thoughtfulness is surely appropriate given our current situation – a congress ignoring its constitutional duty to serve as check and balance to a president’s tyranny of executive orders and erratic behaviors. That leaves only a Supreme Court reluctant to deal with political issues as the final safeguard. After leaving the White House as chief of staff during Donald Trump’s first term, retired Marine Corps General John Kelly described the president as a “person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about.” In such circumstances the role of the congress as a check and balance on executive power becomes critical. The following passages suggest the consequences of inaction, something our congressional delegation should heed. “Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.” Founding father Benjamin Franklin recommended this phrase to be the motto for the Great Seal of the United States. “If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy (immigrant invasion?),” cautioned James Madison, our fourth president and renowned father of our constitution.
“The 5th Amendment (includes due process) is an old friend and a good friend, one of the great landmarks in men's struggle to be free of tyranny, to be decent and civilized,” former Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas. “It is in the interest of tyrants to reduce the people to ignorance and vice. For they cannot live in any country where virtue and knowledge prevail,” said founding father Samuel Adams. “Liberty, when it degrades into licentiousness, begets confusion, and frequently ends in tyranny or some woeful confusion,” said our first and greatest president, George Washington. “All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent,” said Edmund Burke, proclaimed founder of the social and cultural philosophy of conservatism. “There is no crueler tyranny than that which is perpetuated under the shield of law and in the name of justice,” said Baron de Montesquieu, 18th century political philosopher and proponent for separation of powers as set forth in our constitution. “Who can snatch the prey from the hands of a mighty man? Who can demand that a tyrant let his captives go? But the Lord says, even the captives of the mighty and most terrible shall all be freed; for I will fight those who fight you, and I will save your children.” – Isaiah 49:24-25. Crawford is the author of A Republican’s Lament: Mississippi Needs Good Government Conservatives.

Yeah Ben Franklin was a member of the occultist secret society known as the Hellfire Club. Not sure to which “god” he was obedien. But it wasn’t the Christian God.
When Ol’ Hellfire Ben returned to the America after years abroad in England, excavations found the remains of over 100 corpses buried in his British basement.
The fact that he is on our $100 Bill betrays the true occult origins of the founding of this nation.
“But the Lord says, even the captives of the mighty and most terrible shall all be freed; for I will fight those who fight you, and I will save your children.” Isaiah 49:24-25
And we must continue to do God’s will:
By fighting those perverting our children.
By fighting those welcoming rapists and murderers into our country.
By fighting those using their judicial activism to undo the will of Americans having duly elected a President.
By fighting those using crime and chaos as a tactic to create the flight required to control forever cities like the child killing capital, and one of the most dangerous cities in the US, Jackson, MS.
And especially by fighting the propagandists pretending to be journalists, that are telling us to support the leftist Democrat party, a party so off the rails that they believe in males beating up on girls in women’s sports, Drag Story Hour for young innocent children, free housing and healthcare for those entering our country illegally - while hard working tax payer American’s struggle with paying rent, buying a first home, etc.
First take the plank out of your own eye. Mathew 7:5
Crawford = Yawn.
June 2nd, 2025, Boulder, Colorado: Illegal alien terror suspect Mohamed Soliman, 45, from Egypt, twice breached the conditions of his visa during the Democrat Biden administration. Chilling footage clearly demonstrated that Soliman was able to exact terror upon his targets using a flamethrower and Molotov cocktails, during an event that raises awareness for the hostages being held captive in Gaza.
The casualties included an 88-year-old-Holocaust survivor, and two of the wounded being airlifted to a burn unit with serious injuries. Witnesses saw victims writhe around on the floor in pain as their skin melted off their bodies.
Pretty clear we have to pick a side:
The Bill Crawford, leftist Democrat activist judge’s side; that wants the delay, delay, delay, continuance, continuance, continuance system known as “due process,” for this hate filled antisemite criminal thug illegal alien terrorist, that should have been deported before his at of terror ever occurred?
Or the law and order Republican side?
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.” Mathew 7:15
William O. Douglas? I can’t think of a reason to cite anything that judicial activist said, even if he did stumble into saying something sensible.
What a whiner. Is real problem is he is a Democrat!
" defense of freedom and opposition to tyranny, the bastions of American heritage."...Yeah...Tell That To The Native Americans...
@4:56 The Camanche empire ran from northern Mexico through the Great Plains in the US up to the Canadian Plains of Alberta and Manitoba.
The Camanche were the most feared Indian tribe in North American history. They stopped the Spanish Empire from going any farther north from Mexico in the 1700s. And they stopped American expansion westward at the border their territory in the Great Plains. They were the most fear tribe in history. But they never made a wheel. They never cultivated a crop. They never progressed beyond hunting bison. And that is how they were defeated. The slaughter of the bison. The last remaining camanche showed up to the reservation starving. And what they found there were the surviving Apache, Souix, Crow, Blackfeet, Chickasaw, and dozens of other tribes they had slaughtered, enslaved, and abused for two centuries. Those tribes had established themselves and received the majority of cattle and provisions. In the end though, one Camanche would prove to be the most successful Native American business men in history. His name was Quanah Parker. He learned learned English and ultimately befriended Teddy Roosevelt who visited him at his home. In the end, Quanah Parker became a proud American and a patriot. His story is fascinating and far better than Sitting Bull, Geronimo, or any other natives who feared and hated Quanah.
