...And 230 Years On...

I see that the Los Angeles City Council has just voted, 14 to 1 (an Italian-American being the only Nay vote), to scuttle Columbus Day in favor of 'Indigenous Peoples' Day.  Not to add another dedicated day, to honor another historical subject.  But to replace the one with the other.

I also see, via my daily mail this weekend (just getting around to finishing up looking through yesterday's mail), that an extortion racket that was engaged in by the Obama (illegal) administration's Department of Justice has been brought to a halt, by the Trump administration's DoJ.  The details, from the September issue of the governmental watchdog Judicial Watch's monthly newsletter, Verdict:

"The Obama administration waged an extraordinary assault on our rule of law in its blatantly leftist abuses of our system of government.  Among them was an Obama shakedown scheme directed at corporations.

"We just filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice for records relating to an Obama administration policy of settling agency lawsuits against corporate defendants by requiring that the corporations make 'donations' to left-wing interest groups La Raza, the Urban League and the National Community Reinvestment Coalition,,.

"We submitted our FOIA request in the aftermath of an extensive investigation by the House Judiciary and Financial Services Committee that found the Obama Department of Justice had 'engaged in a pattern or practice of systematically subverting Congress' budget authority by using settlements from financial institutions to funnel money to left-wing activist groups',,,"

The article went on to point out that that corrupt 'practice' had now been halted by AG Sessions.  But the smell still lingers.  And blends with another, larger one.

La Raza...a group that is dedicated to the takedown of the United States of America and carving out of its carcass a chunk of it, from seven previous states of the United States, to be known as Aztlan.  In a celebration, not of 'Indigenous Peoples,' you understand.  But of Mexicans and other Central Americans of Spanish blood. Oh - and of Native Americans, of course.  Added as cover for what is really going on.  What our erstwhile masters are really up to...

We are being laughed at by these sorts of people, who are using our institutions and other tax dollars to hang us by.

'Us.'

Americans.

Made up of peoples from all over the world.  United, in our belief, and desire, to be our own sovereigns.  And not to have an oppressive government ruling over us, deciding things for us to within an inch of our lives.  But letting us get on with our lives, as best - and responsible - as we choose.  In a 'state' of what the Founding Fathers of this country called 'essential liberty'.

The freedom of the human spirit.  In 'the Land of Opportunity'.

Now, being attempted to be extinguished.  By totalitarians.

Who are cynically using our own tax dollars to - as I say - hang us by.

Well.

No.

More.

Say I.

And so - I hope - say all of us.

Including those Mexican-Americans - and other Hispanic-Americans - amongst us.

Who, together, can celebrate life in a free country.

And to hell with any other.

Or - to be better said, and felt, about it:

to join us.

In Operation

Ascension.

Out of the smelting fire.  And into the Light of

a New Day.

Dawning.

For all of humanity.

Beginning in this blessed country.

Of a free people.

Choosing, to live up to our highest potential.

Not our lowest.


Now, there's a subject to honor.  With its statue.  Or monument.

Or Day.
