Everybody Knows (White Is Not A Race)

This is how Tulsi’s move is playing on the Big Island, which she previously represented in the U.S. Congress.

Tulsi Gabbard Is Leaving Democratic Party

Hooray for Tulsi! Hopefully more Hawaiians and the world wake up.

Here is useful background information on Tulsi and how Democrats played her when she was elected to Congress and became Vice Chair of DNC.

Why I’m leaving the Democratic Party

Tulsi Gabbard

Oct 11, 2022

I love our country. Our God-given rights of freedom, life, and liberty enshrined in our Constitution and Bill of Rights are my inspiration. I answered the call to duty and took an oath, dedicating my life to supporting and defending those freedoms, both in uniform and in public office.

Growing up in Hawaii gave me a special appreciation of our home, water, and precious natural resources.  So when I was 21 years old I decided to run for Hawaii State House so that I could be in a position to protect our environment.  I wasn’t politically affiliated before that, but as I was about to file my election papers, I had to choose which party to affiliate with. 

As I did my research, I was inspired by Democrats who stood up against the war in Vietnam, and those who fought for Hawaii’s plantation workers who were being abused and exploited by wealthy landowners. I was inspired by leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy and drawn to the ideals of a big-tent Democratic Party that stood up for working men and women — the little guy.  In contrast, the Republican Party seemed like one that stood for the interests of big business and warmongering elites.  So I became a Democrat and remained one for over 20 years — an independent Democrat to be sure, but a Democrat nonetheless. 

I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue and stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms enshrined in our Constitution, are hostile to people of faith and spirituality, demonize the police and protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, are dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.

Here are some of the main reasons I’m leaving the Democratic Party, in brief. I’ll be tackling each of these in more depth in the coming weeks.

The pro-war Democratic Party has led us to the brink of nuclear war. The party is led by warmongers who are firmly in the grips of the military industrial complex, and don’t know or care about the cost of war, or who pays the price. President Biden and Democratic Party elite have pushed us to the precipice of nuclear war, risking starting WWIII and destroying the world as we know it. This is the most urgent existential threat we face. I ran for President in 2020 because I knew that this is where we were headed. All the signs were there. I raised this issue every day during the campaign, and on the national debate stage. But politicians and the media ignored it. They didn’t care then, and they don’t care now. Obviously I didn’t win that election, and don’t have the power to do what is necessary to prevent it. President Biden and Congress do. But they irresponsibly refuse to use that power to protect the safety of our country, the American people, and the world from the devastation of a nuclear holocaust. To protect our loved ones, our children, our world, I’m calling upon the American people to join me in standing up to these cowardly politicians now. This may be our last chance to do so.

Today’s Democratic Party rejects the rule of law. The people’s trust in the rule of law is the foundation for democracy. By weaponizing the security state and Federal law enforcement for their own partisan political ambitions, Democrat leaders are undermining the rule of law and turning our democracy into a banana republic. Across the country, Democrat politicians call for defunding the police, enacting laws that favor criminal’s rights over those of everyday Americans, and so-called progressive DA’s let violent criminals out of jail, refusing to charge them when many have been arrested 30, 40 or even 50 times. It should come as no surprise that crime and murder rates are rapidly increasing, people don’t feel safe walking down the street in their own neighborhoods, and firearm purchases for self defense have drastically increased. 

Under the Obama administration, the IRS was used to target conservative groups. Biden’s DOJ recently indicted 11 pro-life activists for “organizing an event blockading an abortion clinic.” They didn’t use physical force. They weren’t dangerous. But seven of them are facing 11 years in prison and fines of $250,000. The Biden DOJ and Department of Homeland Security has focused their newly formed Domestic Terror Unit to target parents who are vocally standing in opposition to radical curriculums and explicit sexual content being taught to young children in our public schools – labeling parents as “terrorists” for showing up at school board meetings and demanding change. President Biden campaigned on unity and on healing the partisan divide, but he’s now saying supporters of President Trump are the most extremist group in our country and a threat to our democracy.  Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris  claim the Supreme Court is illegitimate simply because they disagree with its rulings. The Biden administration stood by and did nothing as activists protested outside the homes of Supreme Court justices during all hours of the day and night, in clear violation of federal law. When the party in power does not believe in the rule of law, yet they are responsible for writing and enforcing laws, our democracy is doomed. 

Today’s Democratic Party does not believe in our constitutionally protected right to free speech. Fostering diversity of thought and freedom of expression is the foundation of any flourishing democracy. Democratic Party leaders don’t agree. They are led by fanatical ideologues who pose a threat to our democracy because they don’t believe in freedom — freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of religion. They try to censor speech they don’t like, labeling it as “misinformation,” “hate speech,” or “violent speech.” They work hand-in-glove with corporate for-profit media and Big Tech to smear and silence political opponents and those who dare to challenge their authority, exposing their insecurities. The Biden Administration even tried launching their own “Ministry of Truth” to control what information we are allowed to read, hear, and say. Their ideology is one of hate and divisiveness, rather than respect and love (aloha) and is diametrically opposed to traditional ‘liberalism’ which recognizes the basic goodness of people and the autonomy of the individual, supporting civil liberties and a government of, by, and for the people. How can a political party that is opposed to freedom be trusted with our democracy? They can’t be. 

Today’s Democratic Party does not believe in our constitutionally protected right to freedom of religion. The Constitution recognizes that our freedom comes from God — not governments. Unfortunately, Democratic Party leaders reject this truth and are hostile toward people of faith and spirituality, and actively undermine our religious freedom. During that 2020 Democratic National Convention, they chose to omit the words “under God” from our pledge of allegiance. High profile Democratic leaders mock or openly discriminate against people of faith, especially Christians. President Obama once ridiculed Americans for clinging to their guns and religion. Vice President Kamala Harris, as a senator in 2018, remarked that being a member of the Catholic charity organization, the Knights of Columbus, disqualified Brian Buescher from serving as a federal judge. Senator Dianne Feinstein derided now Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a devout Catholic, during a Senate confirmation hearing, stating that “the dogma lives loudly within you.” Article 6, Section 3 of the Constitution states “no religious test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.” Today’s Democratic party has forgotten that freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion. Government must respect every American’s deeply personal relationship with God, and our freedom to express and practice that faith without fear of state-sponsored reprisal, censorship or discrimination. Whether one believes in God or not is not the point. Any political party that is trying to erase the presence of God from every facet of public life and is hostile toward those who choose to worship God, cannot be trusted to protect our inalienable God-given rights enshrined in the Constitution and should not be in power. 

Today’s Democratic Party does not believe in our constitutionally protected right to bear arms. Our founders passed the Second Amendment out of a recognition that every one of us has a right to defend ourselves and our loved ones, and to serve as a check on a tyrannical government seeking to take away our God-given freedoms. The Democratic Party’s hatred of the Second Amendment and their increasing authoritarian instincts pose a serious threat to our freedoms. “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47,” Beto O’Rourke said at a debate when he was running for president. Our founders intentionally passed the Second Amendment right after the First Amendment. The majority ruling from the recent Supreme Court ruling striking down New York’s law that barred people from concealed carry firearms summarized very clearly why Democrats are wrong to try to take away our rights: “Just as we do not need to seek a permit to stand on the street corner and exercise our right to free speech, we shouldn’t have to seek permission for a law abiding citizen to carry their firearm. We as a society don’t get to pick and choose which of our rights in the constitution are more worthy of protecting than another.”  Protecting our freedom to defend ourselves and those we love, and protecting our rights and freedoms enshrined in the Constitution against a tyrannical power is exactly why we must ensure our right to bear arms “shall not be infringed.”

Today’s Democratic Party is ‘Big Brother’ undermining our civil liberties: The Fourth Amendment of the constitution ensures ‘the right of [the American] people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.’ Democratic elite Party leaders have had many opportunities to get rid of unconstitutional provisions of the Patriot Act that violate our civil liberties — I introduced legislation while in Congress that would repeal the Patriot Act and address the dangerous FISA act being used to undermine our civil liberties, especially those protected by the Fourth Amendment. Every time, they choose the security state over our liberty. Whether it’s using the IRS to snoop into our bank accounts for sending someone over $600 via Venmo, supporting the corrupt system of civil forfeiture to seize property from law-abiding Americans who have not even been charged with a crime, or getting credit card companies to keep track of any and all firearm and ammunition related purchases, today’s Democratic Party stands with giving ‘Big Brother’ more power and control over our lives.  

Today’s Democratic Party racializes everything and blatantly foments anti-white racism. The Democratic machine has betrayed Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream of a nation where we are judged based on the content of our character rather than the color of our skin. In their blind pursuit of power, Democrat leaders reduce each of us as God’s children to the color of our skin, using identity politics to tear us apart for their own political gain. Democrats were silent in the face of Chicago’s Mayor Lightfoot’s blatantly racist policy of only accepting interviews with reporters of color because she was struck with the “overwhelming whiteness and maleness.” Modern day segregation in schools is promoted by racial profiteers like Robin DiAngelo and the corrupt self-identified cultural Marxists who lead Black Lives Matter. Today’s Democratic party embraces and celebrates their racist agenda. They support programs that teach children that they are either ‘the privileged’ or ‘the victims,’ oppressors or the oppressed, solely because of the color of their skin. They’ve become the racists they claim to hate. 

Today’s Democratic Party is anti-woman. There’s no greater expression of hatred and hostility toward women than to erase the existence of women as a category of people. The Democratic Party has long claimed to be champions of women, proud of Title IX and leveling the playing field for women and girls. But now, the Biden Administration and Democratic Party are spitting in the face of these achievements by rejecting the objective truth that women exist and are not just a construct in a person’s mind. They can no longer define what a woman is, demand we replace words like “mother” with “birthing person,” and place women at risk to please biological men who claim to be women at any given moment. They are taking away the opportunities and futures of women in sports by allowing transgender athletes, who until recently identified as men, and who have the biological advantages of men, to compete against women. The Biden administration is quietly trying to change Title IX through a back-door rule change that would remove women and biological sex from the Title IX statute, taking away opportunities for millions of female athletes across the country. They now go so far as to claim it is ‘sexual harassment’ to address someone by the wrong pronouns, trying to force us to comply with this insanity by regulating our speech and thought. By denying that there are biological differences between men and women, they are erasing women and denying the existence of objective truth. If one denies the existence of truth, there are no boundaries in our society and the truth becomes whatever those in power want it to be.

Today’s Democratic Party is undermining families. Families are the bedrock of civilization. Today’s Democratic Party does not recognize this truth and the importance of the central foundational role that families play in our society and civilization. They want to strip away the rights of parents to raise their kids, claiming the government knows what’s better for your children than you do. Former Democratic Governor Terry McAuliffe said last year that there is no role for parents in determining a school’s curriculum. The largest teacher’s union in the country and one of the Democratic Party’s biggest donors, the National Education Association, recently passed a resolution that endorses the teaching of Critical Race Theory in classrooms across the country. Public school districts are implementing policies that sexualize kids as young as five or six years old.  Taxpayer dollars are used to bring in drag strippers and encourage gender transition surgery in minors – all kept secret from their parents. HHS secretary Rachel Levine says young children should be empowered to get “gender-affirmation treatment,” which involves puberty blockers, chemical castration, and irreversible surgeries causing long-term harm to children. If parents do not comply, the Federal government threatens to take your children away. Families are the foundation of civilization and our society, and today’s Democratic Party’s policies are quickly eroding that foundation to the detriment of us all. 

I look forward to tackling each of these issues in more depth in the coming weeks.

I believe in a government that is of the people, by the people, and for the people. Unfortunately, today’s Democratic Party does not. Instead, it stands for a government of, by, and for the powerful elite.

Let’s remember the ideals our founders laid out for us. Draw inspiration from their hopes for this country, and take action to actually bring about a government that is truly of, by, and for the people.  

So today, I’m calling on my fellow common sense independent-minded Democrats to join me in leaving the Democratic Party. If you can no longer stomach the direction that so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, I invite you to join me.

By Aseem Malhotra. Excerpt from Journal of Insulin Resistance. (Link to full pdf of this peer reviewed paper is down below.)

“Another, and more useful, source of information (because of

the level of detail for each report made available to the public)

is the United States (US) Vaccine Adverse Effect Reporting

System (VAERS). As with the UK’s system, the level of

reports – including serious ones – associated with COVID-19

vaccines is completely unprecedented. For example, over

24,000 deaths have now been recorded in VAERS as of 02

March 2022; 29% of these occurred within 48h of injection, and

half within two weeks. The average reporting rate prior to

2020 was less than 300 deaths per annum. One explanation

often given for this is that the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out is

unprecedented in scope; however, this is not valid, since

(for the last decade at any rate) the United States has

administered 150 million – 200 million vaccinations annually.

Another criticism of VAERS is that ‘anyone can make an

entry’, yet, in fact, an analysis of a sample of 250 early deaths

suggested that the vast majority are hospital or physician entries,36

and knowingly filing a false VAERS report is a violation of Federal

law punishable by fine and imprisonment.”

…

“It has been estimated that serious adverse effects that are

officially reported are actually a gross underestimate, and this

should be borne in mind when the above comments in

relation to VAERS reports are considered. For example, a

paper by David Kessler (a former FDA Commissioner) cites

data suggesting that as few as 1% of serious adverse events

are reported to the FDA.38″

“Similarly in relation to the Yellow Card scheme in the

United Kingdom, it has been estimated that only 10%

of serious adverse effects are reported.”39 40

….

“It is instructive to note that according to ambulance service

data, in 2021 (the year of the vaccine roll-out), there were

approximately an extra 20,000 (~20%  increase) out-of-hospital

cardiac arrest calls compared to 2019, and approximately

14,000 more than in 2020. Data obtained under Freedom of

Information laws from one of the largest ambulance trusts in

England suggest that there was no increase from November

2020 to March 2021, and thereafter the rise has been seen

disproportionately in the young.”41

“This is a huge signal that surely needs investigating with some urgency.”⁴²

“Similarly, a recent paper in Nature revealed a 25%  increase in

both acute coronary syndrome and cardiac arrest calls in the

16- to 39-year-old age groups significantly associated with

administration with the first and second doses of the mRNA

vaccines but no association with COVID-19 infection.⁴³

The authors state that:

“{T]he findings raise concerns regarding vaccine-induced

undetected severe cardiovascular side effects and underscore the

already established causal relationship between vaccines and

myocarditis, a frequent cause of unexpected cardiac arrest in

young individuals. (p. 1)”

“The disturbing findings in this paper have resulted in calls

for a retraction. In the past, scientists with a different view of

how data should be analysed would have published a paper

with differing assumptions and interpretation for discussion.

Now they try to censor.”

What could be the mechanism of harm?

“For ‘conventional vaccines’, an inert part of the bacteria or

virus is used to ‘educate’ the immune system. The immune

stimulus is limited, localised and short-lived. For the COVID-19

vaccines, spike protein has been shown to be produced

continuously (and in unpredictable amounts) for at

least four months after vaccination44  and is distributed throughout the

body after intramuscular injection.45”

“For the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)

vaccines, the spike protein was chosen, possibly because it enables cell

entry. However, this protein is not inert, but rather it is the

source of much of the pathology associated with severe

COVID-19, including endothelial damage,46  clotting

abnormalities 47  and lung damage. It is instructive to note that

prior to roll-out of the mRNA products, the WHO endorsed a

priority list of potential serious adverse events of special

interest that may occur as a direct result of COVID-19 vaccines.

The list was based upon the specific vaccine platform, adverse

events associated with prior vaccines in general, theoretical

associations based upon animal models and COVID-19-

specific immunopathogenesis 40  (see Figure 2).”

Is the vaccine doing more harm than good?

“The most objective determinant of whether the benefits of the

vaccines outweigh the harms is by analysing its effects on

‘all-cause mortality’. This gets round the thorny issue as to

what should be classified as a COVID-19 death, and also

takes full account of any negative effects of the vaccine. It

would be surprising – to say the least – if during an apparently

deadly pandemic, an effective vaccine could not clearly and

unequivocally be shown to reduce all-cause mortality.

Pfizer’s pivotal mRNA trial in adults did not show any

statistically significant reduction in all-cause mortality, and

in absolute terms there were actually slightly more deaths in

the treatment arm versus in the placebo.”

“Work by Fenton et al. showed an unusual spike in mortality

in each age group of the unvaccinated population, which

coincides with the vaccine roll-out for each age group.48

The rapid shrinking in the size of this population means a

small-time lag could theoretically produce this effect

artifactually. Alternative explanations must include

the (more likely) possibility that a rise in mortality after

vaccination was misattributed to the unvaccinated

population: in other words, those counted as ‘unvaccinated

deaths’ would in fact be those who had died within 14 days

of being vaccinated (a freedom of information [FOI] request

has now confirmed that authorities in Sweden were indeed

categorising deaths within 14 days of dosing as unvaccinated,

creating a misleading picture of efficacy vs death).”

“One has to raise the possibility that the excess cardiac

arrests and continuing pressures on hospitals in 2021/2022

from non-COVID-19 admissions may all be signalling a

non-COVID-19 health crisis exacerbated by interventions,

which would of course also include lockdowns and/or

vaccines.”

“Given these observations, and reappraisal of the randomised

controlled trial data of mRNA products, it seems difficult to

argue that the vaccine roll-out has been net beneficial in all age

groups. While a case can be made that the vaccines may have

saved some lives in the elderly or otherwise vulnerable groups,

that case seems tenuous at best in other sections of the

population, and when the possible short-, medium- and

unknown longer-term harms are considered (especially for

multiple injections, robust safety data for which simply does not

exist), the roll-out into the entire population seems, at best, a

reckless gamble. It’s important to acknowledge that the risks of

adverse events from the vaccine remain constant, whereas the

benefits reduce over time, as new variants are (1)

less virulent and (2) not targeted by an outdated product. Having appraised

the data, it remains a real possibility that my father’s sudden

cardiac death was related to the vaccine. A pause and reappraisal

of vaccination Policies for  COVID-19 is long overdue.”

The famous international trial lawyer Dr Reiner Fuellmich and his large worldwide network of lawyers have all the evidence that the pandemic is a crime against humanity. Several law suits have been won already and they are preparing major class action lawsuits against the WHO and governments. Reiner Fuellmich says a second Neurenberg may be needed.

Dr Reiner Fuellmich speaks on what the Elites end game will be.

Here is Dr. Fuellmich explaining.

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”

Hooray for Italy! God willing, the EU will listen to her.

Or, is she a put up candidate like so many others?

This is only my first time to see her.

The increase in Mauna Loa-measured global CO₂ concentration over the last 50 years (1970 – 2020) has been about 89 ppm. The 50 year cumulative increase due to all CO₂ sources and sinks, natural and human, is on average less than 0.0089% of the atmosphere. You and a few billion other humans exhale breath that is about 4% CO₂. Where does it go?

Bert Bolin, PhD, Swedish meteorologist and the first chairman of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (UN IPCC), from 1988 to 1997, stated in Bolin & Eriksson, 1959: “First we see that if the partial pressure of CO₂ varies and the hydrogen ion concentration [i.e.. pH] were kept constant, the relative changes would be the same in the sea as in the atmosphere. As the total amount of CO₂ in the sea is about 50 times that in the air, practically all excess CO₂ delivered to the atmosphere would be taken up by the sea when equilibrium has been established.” 

The hydrogen ion concentration they refer to is pH, which is highly buffered in both directions by the mineral ions and molecular ions dissolved in ocean surface, including dissolved CO₂, but they minimize buffering in ocean by assuming disproportionate importance to the vertical ocean water column, and vertical migration times and circulation within that vertical column.  There are multiple large errors in Bolin & Eriksson, 1959, and some but not all assumptions they followed from Callendar, Seuss and Revelle, but the above paragraph they got mostly right, except the hypothesis is impossible since relative change in CO₂ in the sea temporarily changes local pH in sea surface. For example, on page 131 the authors conclude by assumption with little if any evidence: “It is obvious that an addition of CO₂ to the atmosphere will only slightly change the CO₂ content of the sea but appreciably effect the CO₂ of the atmosphere.” That is a huge and incorrect assumption in defiance of Henry’s Law, Fick’s Law and Graham’s Law, but it remains in the orthodoxy of climate alarmists and their models. For that assumption, people of Earth are paying billions of dollars per year growing to $9 trillion per year, if you believe McKinsey & Co., Foreign Policy Magazine, the UN, the Great Resetters, etc., not to mention other unnecessary sacrifices.

If you are interested in how we got ourselves into this fake global warming /climate change crisis, then you may find Bolin & Eriksson, 1959 to be interesting history. In a previous post, I pointed out the great error wherein they ignored the chemical enhancement in the huge surface area of the ocean.

The monumental CO2 error by UN IPCC’s first chairman

Excellent truth. Archiving this since it will probably be cancelled. No one should be surprised if armed FBI, DOJ and other alphabet agencies pound his door and arrest him.

As most Americans now realize, America is experiencing a societal breakdown. This should be obvious to anyone, even those facilitating this breakdown as they openly acknowledge they seek to break down American society.

This is a society that teaches its youngest citizens a suicidal lie: that America was founded in 1619, that it was built on slavery and that even today it is systemically racist. At the same time, it does not teach the fundamental moral fact that every culture practiced slavery — Arab, Muslim, African, Asian, Native American — and usually more viciously (e.g., Arab slave masters routinely castrated black slaves so that they could not reproduce) than in America.

This is a society that robs its youngest of sexual innocence. Teachers — nearly all of them women, the sex that society has always regarded as the natural guardians of sexual innocence — now routinely sexualize young people with discussions of sexual behavior and by having drag queens perform for them.
This is a society that has taken as a given that there are more than two sexes; that has Jewish and Christian clergy sign emails with “preferred pronouns”; that will praise the Disney Corporation for dropping all references to “boys and girls” from its theme park announcements.

This is a society in which refusing to say that men give birth can lead to social banning and the loss of one’s job and income.

This is a society that encourages violent crime. It elects prosecutors who allow violent criminals to avoid having to pay bail. Its elites advocate defunding police. It keeps raising the dollar amount of stolen goods that constitutes a felony. In short, America is now a society in which the dominant message to would-be criminals is that crime pays.

This is a society in which fewer and fewer young people are marrying, fewer are having children, and more and are having children without being married, usually without a father in the life of the child.

This all began with the demise of moral authority — and moral, social and intellectual chaos is the inevitable result.

Prior to the 1960s, America had moral authority — God, country, parents, the Bible, teachers, police, and clergy.

Not one of them is a normative authority today.

Starting in the 1960s, each one was overthrown. The ’60s motto “Never trust anyone over 30” perfectly embodied this — given that every one of these was older than 30. Soon, teachers were called by their first names and frequently talked back to, even cursed; on college campuses, “America” was often spelled “Amerika,” and the flag is now declared a symbol of white supremacy; police were referred to as “pigs”; clergy were rendered irrelevant; the American motto, “In God we trust,” was ignored or mocked; and the Bible went from the dominant book in American life to the trash heap of history.

Most important, parental authority rapidly declined.

Moral stability — in other words, civilization — is dependent on parental authority. Once that breaks down, all the others mentioned here also break down.
If you look at the two tablets of the Ten Commandments, you will notice that each tablet has five commandments. The first five are laws between man and God, while the second five commandments govern behavior toward fellow human beings (do not murder, steal, etc.). The first four “rest” on the Fifth; and the second four “rest” on the Tenth.

Taking the second tablet first, the four commandments that precede the Tenth depend on obedience to the Tenth Commandment. When people murder, commit adultery, steal or offer false testimony, it is almost always because they “covet” what their neighbor has — his property, his animals, his spouse.
Likewise, the first four commandments regarding God as the One Moral Authority rest on people obeying the Fifth Commandment: “Honor your father and mother.”

Parental moral authority is the vehicle to divine moral authority. That is why the Fifth Commandment, to honor one’s parents, is the only human-to-human commandment on the first tablet. It is also the only one of the Ten Commandments that promises a reward — “that your days on the land will be lengthened” and “so that it goes well with you.” You will have a long-lived civilization and things will go well with you when parents have moral authority.

Beginning in the ’60s, parents stopped telling their children what to do and instead began asking them to do things. Parents became much more interested in being loved by their children than in being honored by their children. Children stopped fearing parents, and parents began fearing their children. Parents became much more interested in their children’s feelings than in their behavior.

Today, elementary schools and high schools work to diminish all parental authority. The most obvious example is hiding from parents that their 10-year-old says he or she is not their biological sex. And should a parent tell his or her 10-year-old, “This is not so, you were born a boy and you are a boy” or “You were born a girl and you are a girl,” those parents run the risk of having the child taken away from them, not to mention severe condemnation from doctors, psychotherapists and social workers.

One result of the breakdown of parental authority is that we probably have more child-parent alienation than at any time in American history. There are millions of parents whose adult child will not talk to them — many of them because of the way the parent voted (if the parent voted for former President Donald Trump, not if the parent voted for Hillary Clinton or President Joe Biden).

The bottom line is this: when parents don’t rule the home, chaos will rule society. And chaos always breeds tyranny. So, the choice is stark — either we have strong parents, or we will have a strong state.
