It’s quite odd how leftists never question mantras they’re fed, but blindly believe what they’re told. A large part of this is surely the Marxist tactics their leaders use to get them there. Yes, Marxism. In America. If you don’t think this is true, you haven’t been paying attention.
The idea that the left thinks they’re in an eternal battle with evil is literally just the go-to method for mind control across the globe, and across time. Fighting that invisible, unknown and/or foreign enemy is not only an employed tactic of the American leftist leaders, this has become a somewhat typical American political stance, and it works. Truth is, there are enemies that we should all be concerned about gaining power, and there are some hiding in disguise. The issue is what you consider an enemy to be.
Truth is, there are obviously very real threats that need to be addressed, and people should be alerted to. Trouble is that the real “evil” has hijacked the meaning of evil.
Along with the fuel source of the undying drive to fight the enemy, they also use chaos, confusion, excuses, and seemingly logical explanations. The latest is that anything goes, because the enemy is evil after all. Yes, the right doesn’t believe babies should be slaughtered in their mother’s womb, but rather treated with the basic human rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness we all deserve. I mean, that is the epitome of evil, right? (insert eye roll) This is the problem; what is wrong has become right, and vice versa.
You’d think a light would’ve come on at some point. This is not to say the left are stupid. Of course they are not. And, when I say “left”, I mean basically anyone who buys their garbage, votes Democrat, and is compelled to “hate” those on the right side of politics. These poor souls have been warped, their minds contorted, and truth is lost on them because they’re living in a constantly spinning tornado of smoke and mirrors. They are caught up in the mind Matrix.
Another group in the mind Matrix are the ignorant (i.e.; lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about a particular thing.) They ignore everything that doesn’t directly affect them. Whether due to being self-consumed, or just being taught to silence unpleasantry, they don’t know what is going on and don’t want to. These are the people who oftentimes vote, and maybe pay attention the month or so prior, but in general they often state, ” I hate politics.” or “I don’t like to get involved with politics.” That would be totally fine, if what is taking place in our word right now was about politics.
How is all this not about politics, when that is political figures and their actions are the central focus? Because we are not talking about taxes, regular legislation, etc. These people are now trying to uproot the very foundation of America, and ultimately the world.
One thing we must make clear; there is no ill will on our side toward left-wing voters. We want to live cohesively, agree to disagree, and honor our differences. That feeling is not mutual. The left wants the right to be abolished, harmed, and they’ve stated that they are okay with them being killed. Why is that? They must win – all costs, by any means necessary, anything goes because they are “racists”, “neonazis”, and “Trump is Hitler”. Killing someone is okay – if they are a nazi. I get the logic, but no one here is a nazi, and there certainly is no proof that anyone on the right is guilty of this. Something entirely sinister is at play here, and it’s been building for some time.
Left-wing Oddities
The left doesn’t see the legit bigotry in their own assertions and assumptions of being “better” than others.
Whether through formal education, or media; they’re really knowledgeable about what they learn. Unfortunately, this doesn’t include the questioning or verification of information.
Most do not understand that mainstream news articles are basically just glorified social media or blog posts. “News” is mainly opinions, often biased to make you think a certain way (aka propaganda) – and, they are only a blip of information sometimes related to an actual subject or event. Headlines, also – are not the story and often are not indicative of the truth that is usually buried somewhere in the article.
Verifying information does not mean Google searching mainstream media stories. Too many write off a subject if they do not find a “msm news story” on it, on page 1.
Research is foreign to many. The ability to pick up on patterns, to reverse search hypothesis, to reach conclusions via discovery.
There’s a reason schools are indoctrination camps. There’s a reason they are teaching left-wing ideologies. And, there’s a reason they alter and omit history, and have become a breeding ground for commies.
For years many have been trying to wake up those blindly following known corrupt liars, and untrustworthy leaders. Many walked away (Thank God) but, we’ve become increasingly demeaned. Why?
We have only been trying to alert leftists to danger in order to help them avoid it, and save our world.
We see something they are unable to see, because they’re being enshrouded by the leaders.
We get banned, censored, deplatformed, dehumanized, and labeled conspiracy theorists, racists – why would they do this if we were wrong?
Everything you think about us was given to you by your leaders.
Everything you fight for was given to you by your leaders.
Every revolution is hijacked by leaders so that they can control it.
Why are you okay with any of this?
Daniel J. Boorstin said it best:
” The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance – it is the illusion of knowledge.”
Let’s stop giving the inches we know will turn into miles. Our job is to make America great again, and no one is going to do this for us. We all know they’ve spent decades degrading everything from men, to American pride, to the family unit, all with the obvious end goal of controlling the population, and altering our strong state of mind. They want society to fail, they want Western Civilization to be weak, they want to push down national pride, so why do we let them? We the people have the power, and it’s time to stand up, shout out, and make ourselves heard.
A yuge part of pushing back against the anti-American agenda is not giving in to the fake cries of the opposition. We also need not give any credence to fake news media squawk-talk. 2020, and everything leading to this very day, has opened many eyes. Fact is, that no one trusts the media anymore, we all know they lie, and manipulate the narrative each day to uphold bogus viewpoints. Trust in the media is at an all-time low, and there is good reason. A recent poll shows that only 29% of Americans trust the overall media. And, only 44% trust the news source even of their own choosing! Link to poll info. Let’s stop allowing the leftist/elitist/globalist agenda to distort our mission. Be American. Be proud. Take your country back.
MAGA Starts With Restoring Pride in America.
Let’s make July American Pride Month!
We must stop asking for permission, and just do it! Stop waiting for someone else to, or hoping elected officials will take action. They won’t, unless we push them. Many believe the false promise that caving to PCism will bring peace, or they are afraid of “mobs”.
Fear is a thing of the past. Courage is all the rage.
We must always tell our gov leaders what to do. Not ask, but tell. They work for us. They were hired to represent us.
I made a petition to Congress, telling them to make July American Pride Month. If we don’t speak out, we won’t be heard. We must get louder than ever, if we want to save America. Let’s do this!
The petition is on Change.org (established in 2007), and although they have a magnitude of liberal whiner and woke petitions, we must keep our voices and values in the main arena. There is no more backing down. The time is now to stand up, and give America’s future every ounce of effort possible to save her.
Please support this petition to tell Congress to officially make July “American Pride Month”. We the people of America are in despair. We need clarity, and unity as we are all Americans who should be proud of our great nation. No nation is perfect, but the only way to heal our past is to move forward together, in positivity.
There is no one alive today that took part in the origins of our country, nor any of the negativity that existed. We are a nation of people who worked together to overcome obstacles, get things done, and improve conditions for all. We are tired of the blatant attempts by politicians, and the media, to demonize our country, divide us, and create massive issues out of minor or manipulated circumstances. We the people are done with the manipulation, and we know the best path forward starts with restoring our dignity.
Without self-respect, we cannot expect anyone to respect us. We’ve allowed outside influences to weaken our nation’s heart. We need to display pride in our nation’s evolution, demand an end to the insanity of hating ourselves, and show the world that American life is not represented accurately, but is distorted in the media.
We are one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
“Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
This is an attempt to reach out to fellow Conservatives, whether in office, considering a run, or simply talking politics in the public forum of the world wide web. Can we please stop bashing ourselves, our team, and our cause by giving in to leftist demands? They can do this quite handily, without our input. In all these years, have we not learned the lessons of how they bait and switch, and how we should handle this? Maybe it’s time to hire a new PR agent, if they’re still plugging the same old, weak Republican pushover responses. The past four years taught us everything we need to know about leftist smear and fear tactics, as well as how we need to deal with them. It’s 2021, and we need to start applying our own.
We must stand strong, stand together, and work together to save America. There is no value in caving to mobs. Let me say that again;
There is no value in caving to mobs.
(Well, not for us, and our pro-American agenda, but there’s plenty of value in it for the left.)
To them, you are going to be the “neo-nazi, white supremacist, gay hating, anti-feminist, conspiracy theorist, climate denier (& more!)” regardless of any face or vote saving public apology tactics, or attempts to disassociate and distance yourself from patriotic groups. Attempts to save your name, or your next election in this manner are futile. All it does is show would-be supporters that you are weak, have no backbone, and will likely cave to leftist’s demands once elected (re-elected), so STOP IT!
Now is the time to stand up for America, stand up for your patriotic beliefs that we all share, and know there is no quelling of insane people. Yes, they’ll bash you in the media, but what else is new? Stand up for God’s sake!
There is no “lying down, and taking it” in standing up. Write off the fake news as the garbage the majority of people know it is (see latest Trust in Media graph below. It’s at an all-time low of 29% overall trust).
Stop adding value to the left’s lies. Oftentimes, we are not even targeted, but mentioned. They always throw everything out in hopes something will stick. We know this, but are still stuck in thinking “proactive damage control” will help. This only highlights the issue, creates more discussion around it, and the left marks this down as a win. Stop letting them win.
My best advice is to say nothing, stand your ground, or reverse the script back onto them. We must learn this, and new ways to deal with them, while putting them into practice, or we will continue being railroaded.
Remember who we’re dealing with, and;
Stop expecting to play fair games with dishonest players. You’ll lose every time. So, next time they make a move – flip the board!
The answer is simple enough, but discussion surrounding DQSH are quite heated. Although those of us on the Right are anti-Cancel Culture, anti-Censorship, and we believe in the First Amendment of our Constitution, this does not equate to “anything goes”. We have also had enough. Conservatives sat back for far too long, and this apathy has brought us to where we are right now. We are done accepting the degradation of our society, and most especially coming after our children’s innocence. Family is the foundation of our nation, and it is our duty to fight.
What I’d really like to know, is;
When are parents going to stand up for their kids? Where will they draw the line, or will they just continue to accept, and own these spoon-fed agendas?
Why Are Premade Fights Being Fought?
Here are some real questions every parent should consider;
Did you fight to remove God from school? (No.)
Did you fight to end the Pledge of Allegiance? (No.)
Did you ask for your kids to be taught Sex Ed under 16? (No.)
Did you ask for Planned Parenthood to come into school, and eventually lead to your unawareness/consent on the matter? (No.)
How about adding sexual perversion, and gay sex teaching? (No. Huh, that’s weird.)
Did you ask that teachers begin demeaning America, altering history, while promoting Communism? (No. You definitely did not.)
Did you petition to add Drag Queens to story times as part of kids story hour? (Absolutely not.)
Did you beg for CRT to be taught to your kids? (Nope. You didn’t.)
Did you want your kids to wear masks even though you knew they were useless, or keep them out of school for a year? (Hell no.)
if parents didn’t ask for any of this, who did?
All of these things were done TO YOU – TO PARENTS.
They were not created by parents.
They were not requested by parents.
They were developed, and implemented by others….for YOUR kids.
Let’s get real; the “powers” pushing agendas, aka community/gov leaders, media, politicians, the whole lot – has shown increasingly over time that they lie, cheat, steal, are corrupt, money driven, and cannot be trusted. So, why are you still trusting them?
If you look at all the schemes created, in relation to our kids, in addition to the obvious anti-male, pro-feminist movement, they are all agendas to weaken our nation. They also have a clear common denominator – population control.
I state these facts not to argue, but to highlight the plan that’s been decades in the making. This goes way back, and consisted of them pushing, then pulling back upon resistance, but forever waiting in the wings…until you accept it in some form. Then, they go full in. This is where we are currently. It’s all being crammed down your/your kids throats. But, at this point, you are so used to being force-fed agendas under the guise of “inclusion”, “acceptance”, and other “victim vs oppressor” scenarios that you fight for it, as if you asked for it. You didn’t. They will continue to do this to you, because you allow it.
You are now literally just accepting agendas of whatever they deem appropriate for your kids, and you encourage it. Why? So you’ll feel you are the savior of the oppressed? Part of the solution, not part of the problem? It’s all a farce, and only further divides, offering ZERO solutions.
The Dark Truth About Drag
We all know DQSH isn’t about acceptance or inclusion at all. If it were, they’d just read regular books, but that’s not what happens. Perhaps it began that way, then came twerking, getting kids to join in, asking kids if they want to be DQs, and presenting confusion over sex/gender. I am in no way demonizing Drag Queens, but I am upset that parents treat this like a circus sideshow. LGBT and Drag Queens go through a lot of emotional turmoil inside themselves, and otherwise. Suicide. Addiction. Self-harm. Sexual issues. Why would you want to promote that for your kids?
These parents likely assume it’s all fine, as these are the funny, colorful people they see on TV. Many kids introduction to drag was watching RuPaul’s Drag Race on TV. Parents have mistakenly assumed this show is both reality and wholesome family entertainment. It is just a glorified version of drag, which, if we are all being realistic, is the basic format for any television show. At this point, it’s all just so obvious that it’s difficult for me to comprehend there are many still buying into it. We all know that TV manipulates, deceives, and entices viewers to continue watching, while pushing products, services, and ideas that are not ultimately good for you. Why would the Drag Race be any different?
It’s understandable that most probably don’t know much about DQs (or even lgbt). I am speaking as someone who does. And, I have no issue whatsoever with any of it, because it’s for adults, and people’s legal bedroom practices are not my business. The issue is the fact that there’s an effort to introduce kids to adult sexuality earlier and earlier. The idea is that this will “help kids be more inclusive, open-minded and understanding about the difference, and accepting.” What it really does, however, is normalize deviant adult behaviour in children’s minds and override their own instincts.
Here’s another good question: Why can’t the Drag Queens dress as themselves, like they typically do in real life? Wouldn’t this show that although they’re different, they are just like everyone else. Remember, people, this is not some genetic deformation that we are trying to get kids to understand and accept, this is a selective lifestyle of adult entertainers that they are seeking acceptance for. Why not just have lgbt members of the community read to the kids? Everyday people like police officers, postman, etc.? Why? Because, per usual with the liberal progressive agenda, this is not about gaining acceptance at all. It’s about stirring the pot, and using the typical playbook tactics of creating division among the peaceful.
bottomline Issues With DQSH
Adult Entertainment is not for kids.
Opposing Drag Queen Story Hour for kids is not “bigotry”.
What happens when a community accepts DQSH? And, what happens when it fights back? The same scenarios seem to be playing out across the nation, and they are the same applied to most liberal indoctrination techniques. If you oppose any of it, as the majority of us already know, you are automatically labelled a “BIGOT! Racist! Sexist! Homophobe!” We are so used to being called these names, that we no longer care, as we should not. Other continents have capitulated, and caved to fear over being “shunned”. Some even allowed the creation of anti-free speech laws!
The reality is that, with the media in cahoots, bots fully activated, and whiners doing what they do best online – they can spew all the contrived false claims they want, but we know it’s all bull. We learned the secret recipe of their fear stew, and it’s an empty bowl of lies. We know they are the minority, we are the majority, they’re claims are baseless, and we no longer are blinded by the facade. We see right through it. This is where we’ve run into issues in the past. Some feel fearful of these claims, allowing it to dictate and suppress their reactions. Adding to this, these groups have even tried to make us look bad by pretending to be us, using threats, slurs, etc. in an effort to make us look like the “bigots, racists, homophobes, etc.” that they falsely claim we are. Well, it’s all so predictable, the majority of people know it’s just smear campaigns, and we’re – done!
What do drag queens think of DQSH?
Even Drag Queens, themselves, have raised the question of morality;
“I have absolutely no idea why you would want [drag queens] to influence your child. Would you want a stripper or porn star to influence your child?” A friendly message to mothers who want their kids influenced by drag. #dragqueensarenotforkids#dragqueenstorybookhour#drag#moms#woke#Liberals — Kitty Demure (@demure_kitty) Twitter post January 19, 2020
Giving children access to sexual content makes them think this is okay for them, and it opens doors that should stay shut until a child grows up and becomes of age.
Regardless of how they try to slice it, the reality is that Drag Queen Story Hour features men dressed as overly sexual women, some very scary looking, resembling demons, kids have been flashed by them, and they’ve found some to be convicted child predators! Oh, and they’re reading books about lgbt, drag, and gender confusion – not “The Little Mermaid”. This is promotion not acceptance. Recruitment vs inclusion.
Did you know that the Houston Public Library allowed a convicted child sex offender read to children during their Drag Queen Story Hour? The former president of the Milwaukee foundation organizing Drag Queen Story Hour events was arrested on seven charges of child pornography.
Official Drag Queen Story Hour statement about Drag Queen Story Hour;
“Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH) is just what it sounds like—drag queens reading stories to children in libraries, schools, and bookstores. DQSH captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models. In spaces like this, kids are able to see people who defy rigid gender restrictions and imagine a world where people can present as they wish, where dress up is real.” (Link)
And, Brooklyn Public Library Director statement about DQSH;
“Drag Queen Story Hour is a fun and important program that celebrates diversity in the way that children may dress and act. It encourages children to look beyond gender stereotypes and embrace unfettered exploration of self. Programs like DQSH encourage acceptance of difference and help to prevent bullying, while providing an enjoyable literary experience.”
—Judy Zuckerman, Director of Youth and Family Services, Brooklyn Public Library
Drag Queen Facts & Parental Hypocrisy
Some outspoken, anti-DQSH Drag Queens have been stating what all of us know: drag culture is adult entertainment. The look is sexualized. The names are sexualized. In fact, the entire concept of drag is a send-up of beauty queen culture. Beauty queen culture is sexualized as well, and while that is sometimes subsumed beneath the surface, it’s obviously fully part of it. That’s what drag plays on. Drag can be lots of fun, but it’s grown-up fun, not for kids.
Pushing drag on kids, normalizing sexualized behaviour within an educational frame, does a disservice to kids who are initiated too soon into adult sexuality and to queen culture, which is better off not being tagged with tendencies toward pedophilia. Demure rightly points out that gay culture has spent decades trying to convince the public that they are not pedophiles. Having grown men in mini skirts and makeup lounging about with kids doesn’t do much to dispel this image.
Drag Queen Story Hour was founded in San Francisco, and has taken North America by storm. LGBTQ+ activists and children’s librarians tout the events as wholesome affairs where kids can get cozy with cross-dressing adults with provocative names and hear stories about gender non-conformity and sexuality. When conservatives and gender-critical people speak out against the phenomenon, their motivations are called into question. Drag Queen Kitty Demure is telling a truth that her community doesn’t want to hear, but she’s not wrong.
The American Library Association supports Drag Queen Story Hour, stating that they have a “commitment to combating marginalization and underrepresentation within the communities served by libraries through increased understanding of the effects of historical exclusion.” But drag queens are not a protected class, they are not marginalized, they are performers plying their trade. Drag queens are not underrepresented and in need of protection by librarians.
The fact they want to reframe drag queens as not only children’s entertainment, but a valuable component of their education, is a kind of intentional confirmation bias. The logic goes that if conservatives don’t want to expose children to sexualized education and alternative lifestyle acceptability at young ages, then that must be the thing to do.
Children don’t know what’s okay and what’s not until we tell them, they count on the adults in their lives to not put them in harm’s way, physically, intellectually, or emotionally. It’s odd that the same ethos that holds that children don’t have to hug their grandparents would also say that it’s ok to plop them onto a drag queen’s lap at library storytime. Why do children have a right to say no to Granny’s embrace but not to Penny Tration?
So…parents out there who suddenly find themselves supporting a cause they never knew they needed – DQSH, are you subjecting your child to this so you can virtue post later about how inClusiVe you are? If so, be honest with yourself at the very least. Oo, and when Conservatives dish pushback, or get events cancelled, you can even virtue post that you “fought those mean bigots” by making sure you put little Cindy in the front row. FYI: Your virtue post reactions are part of the overall agenda as well, so…
Wise people have said that true equality comes from being equal. The best way to be accepted is to just be. The natural process of being a good person outshines differences. A lot of show, in your face, forced acceptance of factors affecting 5% of the population doesn’t make sense, and you should question it, too. (Bet you thought the number was much higher)
Most of us couldn’t care less about anyone’s sexual preference, but when there is a clear scheme to confuse and sexualize kids, it’s just plain wrong, bad for our kids, and our nation’s future.
Concerned Communities Fight Drag Queen Story Hour
2019: San Diego MassResistance launches full-court press to stop local Drag Queen Story Hour!
For years, conservative parents who have complained about the LGBT agenda in the schools and other venues targeting children have been shut down. But not now!
In early August, parents in the area began contacting MassResistance about the city of Chula Vista (on the south side of San Diego), specifically the Chula Vista Library, which decided to host its own Drag Queen Story Hour program.
Our people got right to work. San Diego MassResistance activists began leafleting outside of the three library branches in Chula Vista, to raise awareness and alert the community. They also called and emailed library officials – particularly at the Otay Ranch branch, where the event was scheduled – as well as Chula Vista City officials.

Taking Back Our Sovereignty and Opting Out of Tyranny: Business Freedom Edition
They want to “Build Back Better”, but we all know this is just a nice way of saying they plan to control every aspect of our lives. You know, for our own good. And, you’re going to like it. Huh? America begs to differ.
Since when do politicians get to tell us they are going to change how we live, without any input from us?
I don’t know about the rest of the world, but this is not how America works.
I could spend way too much time digging deeper, as I surely will in other posts, but for now I’d rather skip what we already know, and move onto the positive. Yes! There is very much positive, and the plans we have are being put in place. That’s right “our plans”, not theirs. Just because those in positions of power have an agenda full of “their plans”, it doesn’t equate to its success.
The plans I am speaking of have been developed by patriotic American citizens, with the true spirit of America, in accordance with our founder’s amazing Constitutional rights. We must stop being sheep led to believe what they want us to believe, lead to our own slaughter. There is a way out of this tyranny, and it is within all of our grasps.
As a reminder of where we are at;
If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that we can do it all ourselves, and we’ve allowed the government to get way too big.
We learned this, unfortunately, the hard way as many small businesses were shuttered, and big corporations thrived while families struggled. We watched as the control and trust bestowed upon our local authorities was abused to the point of complete tyranny. We watched as they used panic, fear, and all aspects of the media to “win” an election. We saw fact checks, censorship and shadow banning turn to complete elimination, witch hunts, and control.
In 2020, we realized they DO NOT have our best interests in sight at all, but their own. And, the truth is hidden for many reasons.
First, of course, is that they do not want us to know how free we are.
Fact is, there is no need for us to depend on oligarchs, nor a system being skewed to create a further controlled state of being each day.
We can run our lives, and states as we please.
We can be self-sufficient.
We can homeschool, work, run businesses, take care of home, feed our families, and more!
Out of this “pandemic” has arisen a whole new world we can create!
I am beyond excited about all the aspects I’ve begun to learn about, and cannot wait to share what I’ve found. As always, I do not claim to be an expert in anything, my purpose is to simply pass along useful information, and outside links are provided for you to learn more or get involved.
This first part is about how to literally take back control of your community via business freedom.
If you have not heard or felt the general low rumble of freedom that is gaining strength in our nation, please do get yourself tuned-in. Please start by shutting off your television! They do not portray reality there, only propaganda. Nor do you ever see them promoting anything good, especially related to freedom.
Opt out of tyranny.
Since our representatives have become unrepresentative, unaccountable on all levels, we must start locally. Taking back our sovereignty starts at home, in our own lives, and in our own states.
There are several amazing groups (mostly run by women) who are doing just that! American families are getting together across our amazing nation, helping each other to put the power back where it belongs, in our own hands.
I watched an eye-opening webinar from Freedom Angels and was truly enlightened! I’ve been praying for guidance often, and am grateful to have found several groups taking initiative and taking back their lives! Truly inspiring.
Do you know what a PMA is? Of course not, neither did I, until last night.
PMA stands for Private Membership Association.
PMAs work in the same way that you send notice that you are going to homeschool your kids (vs. asking permission), you can set up your own business. And, that business can be anything from a school, to a grocery store, to anything in between so long as it is legal and does not harm anyone.
The PMA paperwork is sent to the state, not county or town. Your store can be a brick and mortar or online. Hobby Lobby is a PMA business, which is how they win suits against them. On the same token, the DNC (Democratic National Committee) is also a PMA, as is the Clinton Foundation). And, we wonder how they are so protected, and no one can sue them.
There are many SCOTUS cases that can be referenced, won due to being a protected PMA business. There are so many organizations using this little known form of business that there is essentially no need to worry about it going away.
Learn from the below people who are making it happen;
There is an amazing couple, Vanessa and Mike Colomb, who own a PMA grocery store called Renegade Ranch Provisions. They were interviewed by Freedom Angels Denise and Tara. FB webinar link below.
Notes I took from their discussion. Please watch for yourself, and learn more;
Quick tips on getting started (as noted from watching webinar);
Create a business plan ( Is it feasible, profitable, desirable, needed, does it interest me, non-profit?)
Get PMA paperwork, fill it out, and send to state. (Approximate cost has been stated as $1,200)
Get an EIN (for banking purposes only) if you plan to have employees, use credit cards.
Contact and make arrangements with Vendors, stock your inventory with product.
If not cash only, you need Credit Card processing. And, if in-person sales, you need POS equipment.
Taxes…can file 1099 for employees so they’re independent contractors, and handle their own taxes.
One item they noted to consider, if becoming a non-profit, is they recommend being a “508”, not “501”. As 501’s (like churches, etc.) are controlled politically, and must comply with mandates. A 508 does not.
You can even change your current business and to a PMA! Talk about FREEDOM!
The United States of America is a beautiful nation, full of beautiful people. It was also founded upon the beautiful principle of freedom for the individual. So, why do so many people seem to think America is ugly?
Many centuries ago, people traveled here in a quest for relief from the tyranny that began to plague their homelands. Our founders desired a better life for themselves, their families, and future generations.
Over time, we’ve become a rich melting pot of the world’s ethnicities and traditions, while becoming a beacon of hope for all the world. Who wouldn’t want fairness for one and all?
This outcome was only possible through the development, and addition of a system of law, order, rights and freedoms. And so, our nation was forged together through our founding documents, weaved in unanimous commitment, to the betterment of all Americans.
Our history is clear, although perhaps sordid at times. It has also been distorted in ways or even more recently changed, erased, and/or manipulated. Humans are not naive, nor perfect, and we know there are those who have evil or ill intentions. Regardless of opinions or abuse, reality shows a pattern of continual positive American progress. This has been a result of keeping evil at bay through checks and balances, and awareness.
In the now famous response from Benjamin Franklin, which took place after the Constitutional Convention, made to a group of citizens who were wondering what kind of government the delegates had just created, he stated;
“A republic, if you can keep it.”
He knew the outcome of the agreement (adoption of the U.S. Constitution) would not depend on their initial consent, but on the continued, educated involvement of the people for its survival.
Although Benjamin Franklin was not a U. S. President, he was one of the eight founding fathers. And, together, they crafted and adopted the most perfect union known to man. So, what has happened since then? Have outside forces been working to undermine us from the outside and within? You can bank on it.
True Americans, those with a sense of national pride, honor, and love for their home country and all it stands for can tell you – America is under attack. Nonetheless, we will not give in, nor give up on the America that we know. To those who have not been manipulated by the outsiders, America is and always will be, beautiful.
As soon as I get a little more time, I will dig deeper into this subject. For now, enjoy some beautiful patriotic songs;
Our National Anthem – The Star-Spangled Banner | Sung by Jackie Evanko
Power stems from knowledge, which is gained as a result of learning.
Misinformation does a serious disservice to those believing an altered version of truth. They consider themselves educated, and they may be, but on others opinions, purposeful mistruths or passed along miseducated visions.
Whether accidental or malicious, it is clear that the vicious cycle of misinformation (aka Fake News) must end.
Clean learning is a necessity.
Accessing reliable resources to learn from requires unfiltered, undoctored materials. The need for trusted sources in all informational flow has become increasingly important.
We’ve noticed the news we read or watch being all too often not credible, we see increases in biased censorship, and the need to be first (or get the most views/likes) taking precedence over being accurate.
It’s clear; truth is under siege.
In recent times, we’ve seen upticks in attempts to hide, remove, or alter historical and everyday facts or occurrences. Opinions on agenda-fueled missions seek to override, or otherwise change history. What is going on here, exactly?
Some now argue that truth is unrelated to fact.
Reality begs to differ.
In these questionable times, now more than ever, we need truth. We need to filter out the garbage that is not conducive to an educated populace. Our amazing country full of rich resources, and although some of our historical happenings may be open for debate, or defamation, our core documents are not. So, this is where I propose to start and base the quest for truth.
There is surely an odd equation forming which I can’t yet fully grasp, but I see the answer. The math is a bit blurry, or scary, but I believe in our founders. They were experts or maybe even fortune tellers.
Luckily, these are available for anyone to freely access in public libraries and online. Copies can also be purchased in bookstores and via online vendors. I am thrilled to have happened upon the Ashbrook Center, of which I am not affiliated, but have found free access to trustworthy materials.
An amazing American institution that I will be using as a primary resource, the Ashbrook Center of Ashland University, provides these materials on their website. They have compiled a list of what they consider our 50 Core American Documents.
Not only do they offer free viewing of the documents on their website, but also a free Kindle download on Amazon, individual document links and PDFs. All of this information can be found at the link address below.
Individual document links and full resources can be found on my Resources page. Links outside this website will open in a new tab, so you can easily return here. The very top, core documents can also be found linked below.
A bit more about the Ashbrook Center
The reason I chose the Ashbrook Center as my primary resource is due to the desire for impartial, trusted facts. In researching, they appear to be non-partisan, which is critical to non-biased information, yet challenging in today’s climate. President Ronald Reagan personally dedicated the Ashbrook Center on May 9, 1983. As an independent, 501(c)(3) organization, they offer programs and materials for teachers, students and citizens in order to restore and strengthen the capacities of the American people for constitutional self-government.
Ronald Reagan
Along with promoting the importance of learning through primary source documents, they created a Master’s program to address the lack of proper history and civic education in schools. This provides teachers with a deep, broad understanding of the subjects they teach, focusing on the use of original historical documents in classrooms. The program notes it also does not teach methodology or classroom management techniques.
Their mission
“Ashbrook offers educational programs…as well as publications encouraging citizens to develop a deeper understanding of the principles upon which our great nation was founded.”
“Ashbrook teaches students and teachers across our country what America is and what she represents in the long history of the world. Ashbrook creates informed patriots.”
