I want to continue with thoughts of who represents the greatest threat to the nation. Moronic President Joe Biden would have us believe it's the domestic terrorism of the mysterious white supremacists, or the dreaded "MAGA Republicans". It's quite clear from all I presented in the previous post just how idiotic those possibilities are. Again...it's not to say there exists no threats of any kind from either camp. The possibility there might be some wackjob among either group is a matter of statistical possibility. But "the greatest"??? Not by a long shot.
To carry on with this theme, I'm going to offer up a one or two (or more) items to further render that trope as the ridiculous bullshit it is. To that end, I begin with the following from Wintery Knight:

Regardless whence came the authorization to pad the stats as described by whistleblower, FBI Special Agent Steve Friend, it represents a true threat to the republic that such a thing should be happening within a department of law enforcement created to enforce the law on behalf of we the people. As we've seen in the case of Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and allegations regarding incitement of Trump-supporters at the Capitol on Jan 6 of 2021, it seems clear there are no limits to what the FBI, and thus by the United State Department of Justice, will do in dealing with political enemies. And make no mistake...this is all being perpetrated against "enemies" of the leftists in our government who are currently in power. Said another way, not only are "MAGA Republicans" and "white supremacists" not a true threat to "our democracy", the actual true threat is lying in order to make it appear a threat is coming from those groups.
Here's another way the threat has manifested and puts us at risk:
Back during the Bill Clinton years, not long after the break up of the Soviet Union, there were nations within that Union in which the commies had nuclear weapons based. One of these was Ukraine. At that time, the Ruskies wanted what they claimed was their property...their nukes. A deal was cut between them, the UK (as I recall reading), the Ukraine and the USA to return those weapons to the Ruskies. In return, Russia "promised" to respect Ukraine's sovereignty and the rest of us "promised" to support Ukraine from aggression by a now more powerful Russia. Pardon me for the simplistic explanation of the situation, and any problems with what few details I provided. But that was the deal in a nutshell. At this point hindsight exposes the stupidity of making such a deal with a former adversary who shouldn't have been given such trust. It now seems extremely stupid of Ukraine to agree to such a deal and thus rely on another nation when retaining those nukes would have been all the security they needed.
Fast forward to today and the stupidity is more clear...stupidity perpetrated by a leftist of our own, to say nothing of the treacherous nature of the Russian leftists themselves. Now, for the mere crime of seeking entry into the NATO club, the Russians felt aggrieved and worried about another NATO nation at their border. As it turns out, a few months before war broke out between Putin of Russia and Zelenskyy of Ukraine, they had an actual agreement to their mutual satisfaction which would have prevented this war from proceeding. And who do you suppose put an end to that possibility? Leftists. Specifically, OUR leftists. Tucker Carlson spoke of this a couple of nights ago:

Now, even if Carlson is wrong in what he reported, one thing that is certain is that from the beginning, all we heard out of this administration were threats. Tough talk. Biden trying to assert his power as if he actually scares anybody. I don't recall hearing anything that suggested diplomacy and negotiation...like that which took place between Russia and Ukraine back in April.
There's so much more I could add which supports the premise...the reality...that the left is the true threat to our safety in so many ways. I may add to this post or begin a third on the subject. But it is indeed the reality. It's not "MAGA Republicans". It's not "white supremacists". It's the left. They endanger us on every level constantly and have been for quite some time. It is happening with far more boldness and with far less concern for which of us and how many of us suffer. This trend was compounded by the rejection of Donald Trump, and hopefully a reversal can begin with the midterm elections in November and then with a GOP president in 2024, be it Trump or another. Until then, and likely for some time after, we have to assume we're each on our own.
Some will say we're in God's hands. Some will say we must suffer in order to really turn to Him as we should. Some will say suffering is inevitable before Christ returns. There is nothing which compels us to bring about suffering for that purpose. Indeed, we must do whatever we can to reduce, if not eliminate, suffering. That requires preventing the left from running the show and persuading leftist voters to wake the hell up...for their own sake as well as for our own. To that end, delve more deeply into all I've put forth in this and the previous post and challenge leftist family and friends to counter it. They won't be able to do so.
