A Dire Warning: The Worst is Yet to Come!

Posted on by

Of all the things Donald Trump has done since taking office—as horrific and unimaginable as they have been thus far—they pale in comparison to what is yet to come.

All decent Americans are appalled by what we have seen but what Democrats and even disaffected Republicans are saying and thinking:

“just wait! In the 2026 election we will vote to remove from office all Congressional legislators who have voted for and supported Donald Trump. “

This is a false hope.

This is just what Trump wants us to think, because as long as we are willing to believe there will be a reckoning, we will bide our time. In our minds we think he cannot get away with the horrible things he is doing. This is, after all, a democracy!

As much as we to think it impossible, we must be willing to believe that the United States of America is no longer a democratic nation. We have become a Fascist state; we have become a dictatorship.

My prediction is we have less than a year to drive Trump out of office because he has already told us what he intends to do.

In July of 2024, during a campaign speech, former President Donald J. Trump told Christians to get out and vote. He told them that if they elect him they will never have to vote again. If you do not believe me, click on this link and hear it from the man himself.

Many citizens will be thinking, as you read and hear these words, that this can never, ever happen.

Please rethink this. Who would have believed he would do any of the awful things he and his administration have done?

What he knew and what none of the rest of us have been willing to believe is that there is no one who will have the courage to stop him. Not the United States Congress and not the Supreme Court of the United States, and certainly no one in the Republican Party. He has eviscerated the Constitution, the Congress, and the U.S. Supreme Court.

The American people better wake up and realize that in less than one year, President Donald J. Trump will have cancelled the 2026 national election. Once he has taken away our power to vote him out of office, the American people will be left with but one unimaginable choice.

If we roll over and submit, imagine what will happen to citizens of color. Imagine what will happen to all white Americans, whether or not they have supported or opposed this President and his administration. We will have been disenfranchised, each and every one of us.

Please share this post with everyone you know and encourage them to do the same. The lives and futures of our children and our grandchildren will depend on our willingness to act, to protest, or to do the unimaginable. There may be no other way to restore democracy in America, just as there was no other way to stop Adolph Hitler and his Nazi regime, and his Gestapo.

Who could have envisioned we would, already, have our own Gestapo!

Let me say it again. We have less than a year to rally the millions of Americans it will take to prevent he unthinkable.

Please believe me when I say, you have not seen anything yet! The worst is yet to come!

Freedom of Religion Misconstrued

Posted on by

It is difficult to imagine that our founding fathers envisioned that the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America would be used to justify discrimination against any person or persons or to provide an exemption from compliance with the laws of the land.

The Constitution was adopted to guarantee the rights of citizens to choose how they wish to live their lives and to protect them against abuses by their government. Such protections were a high priority of the framers of our Constitution given that so many of their families had fled to America to escape such abuses. The Bill of Rights refers to amendments to the constitution that were intended to define the rights that were considered to be most precious to a free people.

The First Amendment specified freedom of religion, free speech, freedom of the press, freedom to peacefully assemble, and “to petition the government for redress of grievances.” With specific reference to freedom of religion, the intent was that not only are citizens free to choose their religion but also that the government is prevented from interfering with those choices.

Annually, at Christmas and Easter, we hear complaints that the refusal to grant permission to have displays of Christian worship symbols within or on the grounds of public buildings is somehow an infringement of the religious freedom of Christians.

This is a clear misinterpretation of the First Amendment. Our government’s obligation is to protect our right to decide how we worship, not play favorites. Public buildings belong to Jews, Muslim, and practitioners of other religions every bit as much as they belong to Christians and these American have every right to object to those symbols being placed on property funded with their tax dollars.

That Christianity has long been the dominant religion in the U.S. makes it that much more important that Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and others be protected from persecution or domination by Christians. Christians have no right to preferential treatment, their claims that the U.S. is a Christian nation notwithstanding.

The truth, today, is that the other religions of the world have become and will continue to become more prevalent in American society. While the adjustment to this reality may not come easily to Christians, it is an adjustment that cannot be avoided if we are to remain a free society.

Recent proposals to restrict the freedoms of Muslims, in the aftermath of both domestic and international terrorism by radical Islamic terrorist groups, proves the vital importance of such Constitutional protections. Imagine infringing on the rights of Christians, for example, following terrorist acts committed by armed anti-government militia groups who profess to be radical Christians executing the wrath of God.

History has shown that human beings, Christians included, are capable of horrific acts of violence against other human beings. Each and every one of us deserves the same protections under the law from individuals or groups that lay claim to the Divine right to pass judgment on their fellow man.

The same would be true for the rights of gays and lesbians. To think that we could use our constitutional right to freedom of religion to justify discrimination against any population of Americans, including gays and lesbians and now transgenders, is scary. The American Congress, as duly empowered by the Constitution, has passed legislation prohibiting discrimination in public accommodations in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and these laws have been found to be Constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. Claiming that religious freedom grants one license to disregard the law of the land is a frightening prospect in a free society, no matter who does the proclaiming.

The United States of America may well be one nation, under God but it is for individual citizens to determine how they wish to profess their faith and beliefs, or not at all.
