Dreaming gay dreams…as the United States Supreme Court faces away from the growing progressive wind to run for cover.
The very conservative court, able to vote on any issue with a 5-4 majority, begins to see the direction the wind is beginning to blow in and lifts its sails to ride it out. Nobody really expected this conservative court to go with the gay rights or against Trump’s move to deport the kids who were brought to the U.S. without any knowledge of their former homelands.
What’s next?
The weather continues to show signs that this summer might be the world record holder for being the hottest ever. That does not portend well with respect to the forces formerly known as ‘Law and Order’. Police forces across the land are more than mildly disturbed about the fact that from 911 through about a month ago they were branded as heroes for doing nothing more than wearing the uniform. Now they have lost that brand, overnight, and the effect is very demoralizing.
The police forces nationally are fuming and very angry, deep down They did not deserve to be called heroes before and they do not deserve to be called goats, or worse, now. But what does deservedness have to do with it? The trend is away from harsher law enforcement, more incarceration, and meaner applications of ‘tough love.’ These are just those times and the ever-changing and ever stranger reactions to the effects of the virus.
The nation’s collective hunger is still growing. Half the country is out of work and nearly out of money and food. What then? I have referred to the ‘what then’ part as The Guns of August. Will that be true? I certainly hope not.
The government has settled down into a comfortable confidential classified stew of defensive nothingness. The crooked companies that took most of the bailout, stimulus, PPP money, are not to be revealed. How quaint that one is. How public money becomes a secret gift to the successful and wealthy…and there is nary a complaint. Mass media does its usual ho-hum shuffle, while the poor, the old, and the infirm all pay the price. At least America is acting like it’s normal again. The trimming of federal money, raised to be stolen, is nearly over so the nation can get back to building up the pot again so the next trimming can take place.
Washington is stuffed full with Pharisees and here’s what Christ had to say about them: “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.”
And You Say?
So where do all these radical ideas come from? Where do people get off thinking they should be able to protest, to demand changes, to see equality of rights for all? Just what are they thinking?
Oh yeah. Seems our founding fathers set a high bar for America to begin with, and then set up the rules of government to insure people could have the best chance to clear that bar.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it…”
And where does this crazy idea that our justice system should be fair to all, that blind justice should prevail in America? Do they think this is written in stone?

Damn!
Sort of makes these radical a bunch of CONSERVATIVES!
Strange wind ‘s a blowin’ indeed. May it be a tail wind that helps us finally clear that bar.

Reflection #79
Interesting take Lt. I have have been more focused on the coming inditement’s and the sedition committed by the politicians. You are certainly correct with the references to civil unrest. Being in a career field where I see the direct effects of the “virus” on patients and families. This one is real and it’s effects on some are worse than the “flu” if you survive.
I also see the after effects of the nasty underbelly of society’s knife and gun clubs. The cruelty of fellow man in society is seldom viewed by society. The police experience that war every living second of their careers. Every situation they encounter has the potential of ending their lives or leaving them mutilated and psychologically scarred. They are the thin blue line that protects society from the lust, gluttony, and lasciviousness of society. They are hero’s but not hero’s in the military sense. They get up everyday, put on the uniform that is hated by those in society that have evil hearts, and go stand on that line to protect.
I see the works of monied puppet masters harnessing and manipulating the ill informed poorly educated Sect of society to topple the Republic. I see the history of Germany of the 1930s being repeated with the Nazi playbook as the manuscript. I see George Soros as the puppet master fomenting the useful idiots to destroy the one thing That stands between his New World Order.
I see the prophesies of the Book of Daniel, Elijah, and Revelations being revealed before our very eyes.
“When the fig tree bares fruit one generation shall pass”
Buy more ammo, harden your defenses, have a plan and a plan b, never ever give up.
Looking thru my clouded eyes the hate and anger I see will not be satisfied by giving into their demands. The division between black and whites has so much hate and anger their heart has no love within. The politicians play their pandering game that it becomes sickening to those on the sidelines. With money running out, jobs not able to start up quick enough. This I’m afraid will be a long hot summer with strife in the fall of major physical attacks.
The bailouts are propping up a economy for a large crash. It looks like we will get another bailout just before Election. The next year or 2 could be truly hard times as we begin to admit and deal with the huge bailouts. The police have brought a large part of their problems on theirselves. The nonsense of qualified immunity has brought us here .
I’d like a little more detail on what you mean by “The Guns of August.
I’d always been proud of my college, Centre College of Kentucky, but lately they have turned into this inclusive far left leaning advocate of change, which they think is good yet it scares me to death.
AMEN
