Wake Up and Smell the Coffee!

Hi there friends, yes, I have been in somewhat of a sabbatical over the past few weeks, dealing with personal issues which kept me away from my keyboard. There has not been much to write about, other than the Iran war, hasn’t it? It has been kind of boring. All I hear about 24/7 is the war in Iran. One day is over, next day it is not, whatever. Anyways, I have written a couple of articles on this subject and you all know where I stand on this topic. Simply put, if it had been up to me, I would have finished the job long ago. Yes, yes, I know Trump is smarter than I am and he must have reasons for all the delays. Got that.

Then again, my narrative today, I believe, is far more relative to where we are headed as a nation, including but not limited to Iran having nuclear capabilities. Do not know if you have noticed, but as the old saying goes: “the cat is out of the bag.”  We all mistakenly thought that the Donald Trump’s presidency would also mean a virtual end of the democrats’ communist revolution which started a few years back when they went as far as having one of their own elected President, in the persona of Barack Obama.

When Donald Trump won the presidential election for his second term on November 7th, 2023, we all, rightfully thought, he would be like the “Savior”, the “Messiah”, who would singlehandedly put a complete halt to the evolution of Communism which started as far back as the Civil Rights era. Then again, yes, we all thought the only thing standing between continuing to have a Constitutional Republic and the democrats’ completing the transformation to Communism was Donald Trump, so we all justifiably rejoiced when he [Trump] won by a landslide.

That said, however, case you have missed it, Communism in this nation is on the up and up. The cat is out of the bag. Donald Trump’s successes have all but served as an inspirational and/or a motivational theme for the Communists [democrats]. It is no longer a subdued, subliminal movement in the closet as it once was. It is an overt and obvious movement of extremists that no longer feel there is a need to apologize for what they are. And what is worse, they have a multitudinous following.

The Democrat Party today is truly an all-out Communist Party. Lamentably, most hosts in the mainstream media have unanimously decided to use every other pseudonym in the vernacular except the only label that correctly defines this ideology. I think we can all agree that the mainstream media is very much a part of the problem in this nation. I am tired and repulsed to hear them using labels such as Left, Far Left, Leftist, Progressives, Liberals, Marxists, Socialists, Socialism, etc…, etc. – all but the real name “Communism”. Not that it would make that much difference as the illiteracy in the nation is such that most all the Communist democrat pundits would not know what Communism is anyway.

When I say that the cat is out of the bag, I mean it. Look around, day in and day out, we see professed Communists, professed anti-U.S. actors, professed anti-Americans, rising to all kinds of elite posts throughout the nation. Take this Zohran Mamdani in N.Y., who, ironically and conveniently calls himself a Democratic Socialist. Take Major Brandon Johnson of Chicago, take that Abigail Spanberger, who ran for the governorship of Virginia as a moderate and, when elected, turns out she has an all-out Communist platform. And, what about the old scumbag S.O.B. Bernie Sanders, our beloved Dominican bartender turned politician, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, and her “Squad,” Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Ayanna Pressley. In the forthcoming midterm elections in the senate race for red [republican] State of Texas, James Talarico, a full-blown communist is leading Sen. John Cornyn by 3% and General Ken Paxton by 5%. And the beat goes on.

So…what is the point I am trying to make? The point I am trying to make is we all better “wake up and smell the coffee.”  I must admit, I am pessimistic as far as the midterm elections are concerned. Even worse, even if we survive the midterm elections, I cannot help seeing a bleak future for this nation’s life-after-Trump. They, the democrats, the Communists, have succeeded in indoctrinating the nation. I happen to think that Illiteracy plays a key role in our demise. The nation’s overall illiteracy over the top. And, Communism as we all know, caters precisely to the less-adept thriving on class, social and racial differences, hence its success in a nation that has been plagued with racism forever – remember Marx’s proletariat and bourgeoisie. In our twenty-first century version, of it in the U.S., the Communist democrats have successfully focused on race wherein black and whites are the essential substitutes for the “proletariat” and the
“bourgeoisie”.

Communism, as we all know, caters to the masses composed of a universe of the failed, the envious – a coalition of resentful pundits unable to fetch their own success through their own recourses, hence motivated by the lies of Big Government acting as the Messianic redeemer of mankind; as the ultimate equalizer for mankind’s inequalities and deficiencies. Regretfully, one of democracy’s greatest assets, our rights under the First Amendment of the Constitution, our freedom of speech, could be, ironically, at the same time, our own worst enemy – a double-edge sword if you may, as we see it everyday how our freedoms are misused in protecting those that are arduously trying to destroy us. 

To add insult to injury, we Republicans, are, you may say, our own worse enemy. It is happening right now as we cannot get our act together, take for example, Trump’s plea to eliminate the filibuster, changing the Senate’s rules to a simple majority vote to eliminate the 60-vote threshold for advancing legislation, which would have already helped pass much of the bills now stuck up in Congress. But then again, you have an asshole like our Senate Majority Leader, John Thune, a disciple of Mitch McConnell, who will find all kinds of reasons not to follow our President.

Republicans biggest flaw, I think, is our inability to unite. Vis-à-vis, I must say, this is the Democrat’s greatest asset and the reason I am of the complete belief that Communism will eventually take over this nation. It is not a matter of “if”, but “when.” In closing, I have said it before, and I will say it once again. Unfortunately, I see only one way out of the prevalent demise of our beloved nation turning into a full-blown Communist State, and that would be another Civil War. Honestly, based on what I see all around, all the Communists coming out of the closet and the following they have, as far out as this may sound to some you, I cannot see a peaceful ending to the prevailing revolution – a revolution in which a Communist President, Barack Obama, pledged he would start to “fundamentally transforming” our nation, which they have À la third-world banana republic style.  Matter of fact, we have become a third-world banana republic in more ways than one.

Think about it please, democrats / communists want to “defund the Police”, they want to do away with ICE; they want to open our borders to let our enemies make the U.S. their home away from home; they are pushing for rent freezes, for rent control, for higher taxes on the wealthy; they are for aggressive “woke” or identity driven politics.  If you happen to be Cuban American, Venezuelan, or Nicaraguan, you should all be, like me, panicking with the evident signs of complete anarchy that today plagues our cities.

As we all know, they, the anti-establishment communists, are willing to go extremes for the cause. The assassination of Charlie Kirk and the attempts against Donald Trump’s life, and the elevation of a Luigi Mangione as a folklore hero for killing Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, are all individually and combined clear societal symptoms of where we are and where we are going as a nation. My fellow Americans, please, please, wake up and smell the coffee! God save us and God save the United States of America.
