Was This Our Last Fourth of July?

Was this past weekend the last time we will celebrate the Fourth of July? Right now, that certainly looks possible.

In 2014, I wrote the book "The Murder of the Middle Class." Don't look now, but sadly ... tragically ... it's really happening. The left is crazy, extreme, radical, violent and ready for civil war. The Republican right -- outside of President Trump -- is a bunch of pathetic wimps ready to raise the white flag. We are the closest we've ever been to losing America.

Have you ever seen as many spineless Republican politicians as we see today? Black Lives Matter is a Marxist group that is said to fund the Democratic National Committee. Republican Sen. Mike Braun says he supports Black Lives Matter. He also supports eliminating qualified immunity for cops. That's the end of police in America. With Republicans like him, who needs enemies?

Republican Sen. Mitt Romney marched with Black Lives Matter. How can anyone be such a dupe?

Republican Sens. Ron Johnson, James Langford and John Cornyn want to replace the federal holiday Columbus Day with Juneteenth? Talk about spineless cowards.

We are in the midst of a war to save America, and clearly, these are not people you want in your foxhole. So, let's ignore the Republican politicians. They're useless. Now is the time. You either stand for America or stand against America. There is no middle ground.

It's up to us -- the people. We need to save this country. If Republican politicians are too weak, feckless, cowardly or corrupt to help us, it's time to take the matter into our own hands. "If it is to be, it is up to me." Screw the politicians. Get off the bench, and get in the game.

If Trump isn't reelected, the Obama-Clinton-Biden-Pelosi-Soros cabal will quickly turn America into Venezuela. President Nicolas Maduro proved how quickly it can be done. Democrats may not even need a second term. Although, with approval of mail-in voting and ballot harvesting, future terms for Democrats will never be in question. The votes will have been tallied before the elections.

And Basement Biden is no moderate. He's now a hostage of the extreme radical left. The crowd of Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez now owns Biden. He's "all in" for the Green New Deal. His plan for tax increases is nearly four times bigger than Hillary Clinton's socialist tax plan. And what was Biden's response when asked if he supported trillions of dollars for reparations for black Americans? "Only if you include Native Americans."

Biden will implement free health care, free college and guaranteed income; defund the police; open borders; and -- his personal favorite -- destroy the suburbs with high-density, low-income public housing. And that is only the start.

Wait until Democrats begin implementing the thousands of climate change rules and regulations. Democrats will close the oil and gas industries, ban private cars, spend hundreds of billions for public transportation, and ration water and power. Better start stocking up on toilet paper now. Venezuela, here we come.

Let me issue this challenge to my fellow patriotic Americans: It is time to stop being the "silent majority," or we will soon be the "silent minority," never to be heard from again. It is time to stand up in your church, your neighborhood, your community, your children's school. It is time to speak the truth to family and friends.

Tell them about the Democrats' plans to dramatically raise taxes; defund the police; eliminate bail; flood our neighborhoods with criminals and illegal aliens; flood our suburban communities with multidensity, low-income public housing; and destroy our economy with "free" everything.

Illegal aliens will have free health insurance, while you'll pay quadruple the cost and wait a year for a doctor's appointment.

Under Democrats, America will be a violent, lawless warzone, and you won't have access to guns. The good people will be helpless fish in a barrel. The Democratic model will make us all Chicago; Baltimore; Detroit; Minneapolis, with 700 buildings burned to the ground; or downtown Seattle, run by a warlord.

Start preaching the gospel. Educate every person you know. But, don't stop there. It's time to volunteer your time. An hour a week, or two, or three, just for the next four months.

If we each make the commitment to change just a half-dozen votes or bring just a handful of Republican voters who weren't going to vote to the polls, we will win in an electoral landslide. It's not much to ask.

It's time to put your money where your mouth is. It's high time for good people like you to get off the bench and get into the game. The time is now, or never.

Come Nov. 3, don't be the one who sat on the sidelines during the most important election of our lifetime. It is up to each of us to ensure we have not just celebrated our last Fourth of July.

Here in northeastern NJ, where Americans are slowly disappearing, there were a LOT of fireworks - despite many towns canceling their shows.

I was impressed; these would have cost us a pretty penny when I was younger, and some were simply unattainable (show-grade fireworks in the hands of regular people).

In 2015 I looked at the pubbie candidates and lamented that there wasn’t a single one worth my vote. I’m not talking about worth fighting for or beating the bushes to rally support for - I’m talking about taking the time to scratch a mark on a piece of paper and post it. That’s how jaded I had become.

Then Trump threw his hat into the ring. He immediately began making the most audacious statements - flying directly in the face of political correctness statements. He got my attention and, for the first time in decades I found myself voting for a candidate instead of voting for the various uninspiring “lesser of evils”.

My thinking was simple but straightforward: This is our last chance to get it right. We may not win with Trump but if the Hildebeast wins we are all truly lost.

Against all odds Trump won. And we all reaped the benefits of having a sane person at the helm. At the same time our adversaries coalesced into our mortal enemies, determined not to merely triumph over Trump (and us), but to destroy us.

Now Trump is locked into battle for America’s soul. He isn’t campaigning against Bidet - Sleepy is only an afterthought, a placemarker for the left’s ambitions. Trump is fighting against the combined forces of darkness who are allied to obliterate our nation. If Trump does not prevail there won’t be an America next year worth celebrating.

Sure the buildings may (or may not) be standing, but the soul - the essence that made us what we were - will be irretrievably broken.

I pray for Trump’s continued strength and tenacity.
