How Does America Recover From This? It Doesn’t.
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

How does America come back from all of this? How does our country recover from the last five years of rank media fakery, Democrat depravity and China Virus mendacity?

I was asked that question this week on my regular appearance with 93.1 FM afternoon talk show host Greg Budell, who blessedly provides the people of Montgomery, Alabama with a brilliant alternative to listening to Sean Besmirched Bought and Paid For Captain Tick Tock Hannity.

My terse reply was, we don’t. Not in any real sense, anyway.

That’s also how a more expansive answer begins this morning. America doesn’t recover from all of this, folks. It can’t, for the simple fact that our society has lost two fundamental foundations that are absolutely necessary in order for our constitutional republican system to work:

The first and most fundamental of those is the assumption by the founding fathers that positions of political power would be filled by people who actually love this country. Men like Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, John Jay and Ben Franklin weren’t at all naive about human nature: They knew that politicians as a class would tend towards corruption and graft and greed. That is as it has always been and as it always will be.

But even the greedy and corrupt can still love the country and want it to survive and prosper, and that is the assumption that has been lost within the Democrat Party today, the Democrats in the House of Representatives being the most stark example.

The House Democrat caucus today consists of several distinct classes:

– A leadership class typified by greedy grifters like San Fran Nan, who have become fabulously wealthy while profiting from their positions of power;

– Race baiters like Sheila Jackson Lee, who line their pockets with money collected from the poorest of the poor in their districts;

– Hoax and conspiracy mongers like Adam Schiff who are still lying about Russia collusion and have no scruples that might prevent them from holding the country hostage for half a year to a completely made-up impeachment hoax; and

– Marxist radicals like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and her “squad,” who also manage somehow to become fabulously wealthy, prancing around in $2,000 dresses while pushing frauds like the Green New Deal that would bankrupt the country.

No one in that House Democrat caucus has the best interests of the country in mind. Their sole driving interest is the acquisition and maintenance of political power that can be leveraged for their personal gain. As we have witnessed in this stolen election via massive voter fraud, the entire Democrat Party today is nothing but a huge organized crime operation, and the entire country is its victims.

This increasingly and overwhelmingly corrupt behavior by the Democrats should surprise no one. I’ve been writing for more than 30 years about the fact that politicians who have no moral scruples nor any fear of ever being held accountable for their actions will always become increasingly depraved and corrupt over time. It is simple human nature.

This brings us to the second fundamental foundation of American society that has been completely lost: A functioning news media establishment.

The founders envisioned that a free press would collectively serve as America’s Fourth Estate, a watch dog that protected the public interest by working to hold people in positions of power accountable by exposing their depravity and mendacity. The drafters of the Bill of Rights believed a free and functioning press was so crucial to maintaining the American Republic that they enshrined freedom of the press in the Constitution’s very first amendment.

They weren’t naive about the press of their time: They knew some media outlets would be biased and corrupt, but also believed the press as a whole would serve its intended function in our society, because exposing political corruption, regardless of party, sells newspapers.

That assumption held and the system worked right up until the point at which big, diverse, international corporations and billionaires began buying up the nation’s major media outlets. Today, well over 90% of the national mainstream media outlets are owned by six or seven huge corporations whose senior leadership is firmly globalist in nature. They all detest Donald Trump and his supporters with a passion and reward their media people for tailoring their coverage in ways that do him harm, often functioning at the direct behest of their financial benefactors in China.

Worse, corporate behemoths like AT&T, Comcast and Disney use their media subsidiaries like CNN, NBC and ABC as loss leaders within their corporate umbrellas, and don’t give a damn about audience size or profitability. Every incentive to employees in those media operations encourages corrupt and biased behavior that ends up creating hyper-focus on Trump and his fellow Republicans and aggressive efforts to avoid negative reporting about Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats.

Even worse than all of that is the fact that the freedom of the press enshrined in the first amendment and the interpretations of that clause by the federal courts over the past 231 years, combined with corporate ownership that does not care about profitability, means that there is basically no way for the public to hold the media accountable for its mendacity. Just as is true with politicians, corrupt journalists who have no fear of being held accountable for false reporting, and are in fact rewarded for it, will only become increasingly corrupt and dishonest. Again, simple human nature.

Thus, with a media class that has no fear of accountability refusing to cover a Democrat political class that has no fear of being held accountable, neither of which possessing a shred of love of country, the country will inevitably continue to spin out of control until it collapses or dissolves into a second civil war.

That is how we get to a situation in which a presidential election has literally been stolen in plain sight by one political party and the media establishment joins its arms in unison in abject refusal to cover the biggest political scandal in U.S. history, despite the enormous audience and profits real coverage would invariably bring.

How does America recover from this?

It doesn’t.

That is all.

Oh boy, sure to bring out the Eeyores this morning, eh?

I appreciate people who can maintain optimism in the face of overwhelming adversity. If you look at the the whole of human history, misery and evil have ruled for much longer stretches than what we have seen in the last 100-200 years.

Life isn't like Hollywood. The good guys don't always win. Often, the bad guys triumph through sheer power of will. I want to win this, I want Trump to win this, but he's one man against a globalist cabal.

They are different. They’re not the ones doing the dirty work. But they’re letting it pass, which might be just as bad.

I've seen it said that we now live in a "socialist republic," where we are supposed to be free, but the populace keeps voting socialists into power, election after election.

It's only a matter of time before this country is no where near what the founding fathers envisioned. Heck it is now.

They must be rolling over in their graves, that, they fully expected it and are saying to us now, "see, told you!"

Stimulus Bills screwed us over, once the idea took root, it was clear to me that the government and politicians would just print out more money whenever something happened.

I get the impression that they attacked a young man because they wanted suicide martyrs for sympathy points to the cause. Even a poorly experienced person with a gun is dangerous at close range.

I still maintain if we can rid ourselves of all of the voter fraud, we just may see the return of our Constitutional Republic.

But first things first...and that’s winning 2020.

There is no tomorrow if we lose 2020 to the massive voter fraud - it’s for ALL THE MARBLES.

One thing I have realized..... as troubling as all of the implications may be.... is that the broadcast media must be taken off the air. It is purely a propaganda vehicle.

No splitting! When Spain was overthrown by Muslims, did the Spanish just sit there in their little enclaves or did they engage in a magnificent Reconquista?

We will do the same.

Where is it written that our lives had to be forever free of national catastrophe? Why are we supposed to be so much more special than previous generations that brought us through some of the darkest times in American history.
The United States was well over due for another test of our national will to be free.
Nothing of any real value comes from ease and comfort and Americans have been comfortable for a long time. For America to endure as a free and civil nation we must go through a dark and horrible time. It’s only through the crucible of adversity that the real value of America will be restored.

America won’t recover exactly but our President is really trying to let it happen peacefully. When the courts/state legislatures let us down, he will invoke the Insurrection Act and have the military hold the election. He promised us we would never be a socialist (communist) country. He is a man who keeps his promises.

We are already at war some just don’t know it yet

It only took them 700 years. And their culture was forever stamped with aspects of the savage Muslim outlook.
