Veterans Day a hundred years from now
Today is Veterans Day in America, and you have to wonder if this holiday will even be known much less observed in a hundred years.
Because Veterans Day is about remembering and honoring and appreciating and thanking our military veterans, which is fundamentally about thinking about other people, and particularly those military personnel who have kept us safe, and because America’s young people are mostly spoiled rotten whiny, lazy brats who think everything is “free” and easy and automatic, one just cannot help but wonder what any holiday like this one will mean, or not mean, in the coming years.
America is obviously being changed, through mass migration of people with no grounding in our institutions or our traditions or culture, and through constant Marxist indoctrination in school and college and the mainstream media. People who live in America but who also hate it, not assimilating into it, while also collecting taxpayer money welfare and subsidies, will not appreciate American veterans.
Americans born and raised in America, but heavily indoctrinated in cultural Marxism and socialist re-distributionist economics by their “educators” will not value sacrifice and risk taking, fundamental to both the American free enterprise system and the military service mindset.
Ultimately, America’s greatest enemies are benefiting the most from this hollowing out and gutting of America. The people doing this hollowing out and gutting are working on behalf of our enemies, like communist China. Which makes these people domestic enemies. Which means they especially do not value or thank American veterans for keeping them safe. In fact, most of the American school teachers’ unions and college professor unions are adamantly opposed to the American military. One gets the impression that they will be satisfied when the American military ceases to exist altogether, which means the end of America altogether.
To be explicit: Without maintaining the armed forces necessary to defend our nation, America will be taken over by force by someone else.
That young people think we can have an end to America and also continue to enjoy ten dollar lattes and twenty dollar burritos shows how big the gap is between what they think they know, and what they actually know. Without the American military and its veterans, armed people standing guard and willing to sacrifice their lives to keep us safe, there is no easy American lifestyle. No easy treat foods, no Uber Eats.
I personally thank all of you living veterans, and I salute the deceased veterans of the past. May your brave warrior spirit guide us Americans as we move into 1859 all over again. Because if we lose that spirit now, America will not have a Veterans Day in a hundred years, maybe even in fifty years.
Is it January 2026 or December 1859?
I know the date today is January 13, 2026. But it sure feels like late 1859, after anti-slavery Republicans won America’s national elections and the pro slavery Democrat Party went into violent insurrection mode.
Right now, it appears that pretty much every single Democrat Party run jurisdiction is a haven for illegal invaders, Democrat Party-organized government fraud, and election fraud. It sure appears that every single one of these jurisdictions is against ICE removing illegal aliens, including the illegal alien rapists, murderers, child dealers, etc, so that the illegal aliens can be turned into illegal voters and also be illegally counted in the US Census.
Counting illegal aliens in the US Census (illegally) gives greater proportional representation to areas that harbor illegal aliens, and thus more political power than these areas would otherwise qualify for. This in turn takes away political power from American citizen taxpayers who play by the rules and who follow the law.
Chasing out federal investigators tracking down state government-enabled fraud in federal welfare programs also helps the state Democrat Party avoid accountability. This looks like illegal rebellion to me, but what do I know. I do know that this is not how “democracy” works.
Minnesota may be in the headlines for its well organized Somali-run fraud that is hooked up to the Democrat Party like a Dollar bill firehose, but now there are indications that every single place run by the Democrat Party is like this. Essentially the Democrat Party is a big RICO enterprise, using taxpayer-funded government welfare programs to enable its political efforts. Obviously this is totally illegal and completely at odds with the way America is arranged.
Until now, America has been a trust-based society, with legal accountability for criminal activity. Now, it seems that anyone on the political Left can say or do anything they want, without receiving corrective action. Or worse, they can try to run over a federal officer with their SUV, get shot in defense, and become an overnight martyr.
That the Republican Party is indifferent to this unfolding disaster does not help Americans recapture control of their own nation, politically or culturally. A lot of elected Republicans try to pose as “moderate” which enables them to escape from making any difficult decisions, one way or another. These “Republicans” hold elected office for the insider deals, the prestige, the power, not to zealously represent the interests of their citizens.
That the American Attorney General, Pam Bondi, does not aggressively pursue investigations and federal charges against everyone involved also does not help us Americans recapture our nation from the clutches of criminals and freeloaders. Her inactivity energizes and encourages the rebellion we are witnessing.
Why AG Pam Bondi is inactive is anyone’s guess. Some people muse that she was a RINO plant from the get-go, while others speculate that she immediately folded under the intense pressure of the job, and decided that she would rather go on TV talk shows and get paid tons of money to speak “as a Republican” than to actually do her job and make waves and make enemies.
All I see is an AG who does nothing in her important job. Or next to nothing. On January 6th the statute of limitations passed for holding federal police officers accountable for their civil rights violations against peaceful J6 protestors. We are quickly approaching the end of the statute of limitations for holding various prison officials, FBI agents, DHS agents, and US Marshals accountable for their torture and abuse of J6 prisoners. The list of prospective criminals is long, and the list of AG Bondi’s actions is very brief.
So it appears that the insurrectionist Democrat Party of 1859 is fully back in business. But that political party learned a few tricks in the intervening years after they lost the Civil War to the abolitionist Republicans. The Democrats learned to buy their most reliable dependants through welfare programs and defrauding said welfare programs, rather than trying to coercively enslave these people from the get-go. Yes, the Democrat Party has spoken loudly about disarming and collectivizing and oppressing and enslaving the rest of us Americans who do not embrace their form of Marxism. But in order to do that, the Democrat Party needs as much political power as it can get first and foremost. Hence the illegal voters…
And so we are watching street battles in Minnesota, California, New York, and other Democrat-run cities, where Democrat Party insurgents are pitted against federal agents who are enforcing basic federal law. A ton of naturalized citizens moved to America with zero interest or intention to assimilate into America, and some of them are involved in the most strenuous insurrectionist verbage. These people moved to America not to join it, but to destroy it from within. Why they are not being arrested, denaturalized, and deported is beyond my comprehension. But then see the paragraph above about paralyzed Republicans who are unable to lift a finger against lawlessness…
Right now it sure looks like America in late 1859, as the pro-slavery Democrat Party decided to take on the anti-slavery North, sparking a destructive civil war. I really really hope we avoid that this time around. A firm hand and non-stop one-way flights to distant destinations will stop this crap before it gets fully out of hand. But then see the paragraph above about paralyzed Republicans who are unable to lift a finger against lawlessness…
Good luck, America. I love you! It is still January, and I am really looking forward to a great and successful 2026, not a revisit of 1859 and 1860 and 1861…
