A Memorial Day like no other

We are celebrating Memorial Day today and tomorrow, and I think this is one like no other has been or can be. Yes, this holiday means garish mattress sales and menial gardening errands, but it was originally about remembering the brave service members who fell or were injured in battle, or while preparing for battle, so that Americans would not have to worry about repelling foreign invasions of our own home territory.

In other words, this weekend we remember and thank those who guaranteed our own freedom, often at great sacrifice and at the cost of their own lives. It is a big deal, to those who do not take the totality of America for granted.

Memorial Day 2023 is unlike any Memorial Day before or that can follow, because it stands in a unique place in time and in American history. Due to the unbelievable and unsustainable hostile foreign invasion of military age men literally pouring over our southern border, and due to the illegal DC official repression and threats to each of our freedom (like the Twitter Files revealed), this year’s Memorial Day takes on extra meaning. It certainly appears now that all the service men and women who gave their lives and limbs for us did so in vain, because America is being purposefully destroyed from within.

I worked in Washington DC from 1991-1998 in one of the malignant federal “alphabet agencies” (US EPA) that have gone way, way rogue and left the We, The People thing they were designed to serve in the dust. I left both the EPA and DC because the entire city, and all that is inside of it, was criminally incestuous and corrupt. Nothing has gotten better since then. And that is despite President Trump’s best efforts to drain the swamp from 2017-2020.

Some people complain that Trump did not purge enough of the DC Swamp when he had the chance, but Trump never worked in DC and had little to do with politics outside of New York City and Atlantic City, NJ, so I don’t see how he gets blame for not purging DC enough. To Trump’s credit, he was not a politician and he did not know Washington DC or federal government. Probably 3/4 of the so-called Republicans advising him in the first three years of his administration were unknown Deep State/ Administrative State/ Uniparty traitors who purposefully misled him and who protected the administrative state/ DC status quo.

Trump’s own two Attorney Generals, Jeff “Keebler Elf” Sessions and Bill “PT Barnum” Barr, were disloyal Deep State functionaries who worked against the president from the day they got in to the AG’s office, and who protected the openly corrupt rot in the DOJ (think about disgraced DOJ attorney Kevin Clinesmith forging official documents to obtain search warrants for political opponents, who was let off with a light slap on the wrist and who yet still practices law today as if nothing happened). I could go on and on, but even President Trump’s most loyal political appointees, of which there were very few, ran into the Office of Personnel Management buzzsaw when they tried to make real civil service staff changes. And when they tried to get the OPM civil service rules themselves changed, the entire DC system went after them – the mainstream media, so-called non-profits, government agencies – like a swarm of fleas.

So while we celebrate our freedom won at the end of a gun by American uniformed armed service personnel, I also do not know if our federal government can be reformed. I know this sounds either hopeless or like advocating for the reintroduction of the Declaration of Independence and all that entails, but this cancerous growth has been allowed to fester and metastasize for decades, with extra boosts from Bill Clinton, George Bush, and Barack Hussein Obama the purple lipped Marxist Kenyan impostor.

America as we knew it ended January 21st 2021, and it is not coming back. This is both terrifying and enraging to me and to many other patriotic Americans. Enjoy Memorial Day 2023 freedoms, because God only knows what Memorial Day 2024 will be like. Will the election stealing Biden Gang declare martial law, create another fake pandemic, demand some fake emergency that enables them to under color of law circumvent the law and the US Constitution? Will the FBI staff simply declare themselves our masters and round up even more innocent political enemies at gun point, as Special Prosecutor John Durham’s report two weeks ago suggests?

Maybe hell is coming for breakfast next year. It would not surprise me, and if you are paying attention, it should not surprise you.
