Last Thursday night, I watched President Trump deliver an astonishing speech concerning the 2020 election and the fraudulent activities of the Democrats in the key swing states. After the speech ended, I had the thought to download the YouTube video of Trump's speech onto a thumb drive so it would be preserved for my four-month-old grandchild.
Yes, preserved.
If Biden prevails, all pre–January 20, 2021 downloadable internet videos and news broadcasts about the Trump administration successes will not so slowly disappear, or worse, they will be edited by the new Ministry of Truth.

It should be printed on paper and kept in a fire-proof safe. How many of us have our data stored on 3 1/2 floppy disks? Advances in technology may soon render thumb drives obsolete.

Most free Americans still live in the suburbs or the countryside.......that will make it difficult to herd them into ghettos or into box cars for “relocation”. When they come for the guns, and they will, that’s the hill to die on.

It is a shock to my soul that we are discussing something like this because the political class and media machine will censor whatever displeases them. While during the Trump administration the DOJ and FBI have been apathetic, you can bet that under any possible Biden administration, it will become robust and prosecutions will flow like a river. There will be little to no pushback from the right either. Democrats will cow anyone who dares defy them. So, yes it is up to us to save and protect our history because the democrats intend to rewrite it. I pray that God will show mercy and intervene to stop the steal of this election. The unthinkable is just too much to bear.

Back around 1970 there was a frightening movie 'Fahrenheit 451'. In it, the then-democrats were burning all books deemed undesirable or non-PC. There were, in remote areas people who had memorized entire books! Hope it never comes to that, because we'd have to rely on younger people with sharp minds...and most of them simply don't care about our history or heritage. Thanks Teachsters' Union!

The new, so-called elite are contemptible pissants. They imagine themselves as mental giants, visionaries but are midgets compared to the great founders of this country. It is inconceivable to me that anyone at all would vote for replacing the magnificent original concept and principles of America, and diminish if not tear down its history. But here we are. Such fools.

The counter revolution starts by supplementing what passes for elementary and secondary education with virtual schools, taught by volunteers and focusing on history patriotism economics and literature.
Like vacation bible school but built on American exceptionalism.

Since china has access to all computer files... it's better to save all communication on paper and in a file cabinet...facebook and tweeter and you tube are owned by china... careful what you post and what you order on amazon and google....the DC swamp knows all your coming and going... they can monitor what stores you shop at and what you buy...what programs you watch on TV and they try to tell US it's good business... bull___t... it's all about control...so give them a run for their money...

I just read this morning that VMI took down the statue of "Stonewall" Jackson.
IMO one of the most egregious acts of cowardice by a military school I can think of.
Shameful.

Heard a grandfather on talk radio yesterday say that his 8 an 9 year old grand kids are told to hate Trump. (I won't mention the state he called from.)
Maybe it is a good thing for children to continue to be home-schooled.

9, the United States Naval Academy disregarded Trump's order to stop teaching critical race theory. It has Diversity Teams to end racism and has mandatory sessions where white Mids confess their racist sins and their white privilege to the group. It's not like Polpot and his killing fields because it's science! The names of several famous named halls like Bancroft Hall is proposed for being changed because they supported slavery (even though Bancroft did NOT support slavery via his own words and actions, but he still had white privilege, so he's a racist)
Within Harris' first hundred days;
All Trump's executive orders rescinded
Net neutrality ending free speech in digital form
End of the filibuster
End of electoral college
DC and Puerto Rico become states with four more Senate Marxists and several new House Marxists.
Four more Marxist Supremes for a Marxist majority forever.
Federal lock downs and masks whenever "necessary" with federal criminal prosecutions and jail for any violations.
New mandatory programmable crypto currency use starting with all banks and federal employees.
Mandatory national Chicom virus passports extending into other personal areas to keep us "safe."
And that's just a teeny scoonch of the first 100 days based on what they've promised and based on Harris' new cabinet's and appointed bureaucrats' past actions and promises.

I kept almost all of my high school and college history text books and the books I read for English Lit. I brought to my marriage a good collection of Civil War politics/cultural history books, and TK added an extensive collection of CW military books. Back in the 90's I got into Creative Memories and made photo books for each of my sisters, and one of general family history. Back in October I started writing "Family Stories", all the stories I can remember my parents, aunts and uncles used to tell around the holiday tables when they had their dessert and "coffee".
Whether needed because of the commie takeover of America, or needed to reclaim our already adulterated national history, it is up to us to preserve our corner of Freedom.
MAGA - Its our birthright.

#2, that is why I decided it was better to fix my 5th wheel trailer and continue to live in the outskirts in farmland area than move into a tiny studio apartment in town right now, even though the studio would save us at least $600/mo. in rent. Not only are we further away from COVID, but we are safer if something bad goes down. I am worried if we don't fix this election mess. We ALL need to.be vocal and DEMAND the fraud be exposed and corrected. If we don't, we are in for terrible times.

#12, being we are both in the same state, I hope we can keep in touch. It would be good for us to all have allies nearby as things progress (or should I say "regress"?).

Amen, #9. Stonewall Jackson graduated from West Point, distinguished himself in the Mexican War, and was an instructor at VMI for ten years. His brilliant flanking tactics at the Battle of Chancellorsville are still studied today by the US military and at West Point. Shame on VMI for its cowardly sacrifice of Jackson on the altar of political correctness.
