Biden's speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia has lit up the conservative media. Most express outrage, at being called extremeist, terrorists and Facsist, by the President who had exhibited Fascist tendencies, including turning the FBI into his own Gestapo or KGB. He and his party excused actual terrorists and extremists.
The use of private companies to do the Government's bidding fits exactly the very definition of Fascism, as we are discovering top Biden officials have actually done time and again. I will not linger on this aspect of the speech except to say that Facsism is the exact opposite of what the MAGA agenda stands for.

I think Tucker Carlson had it right, that this shows the weakness of this illegitamate President and his evil party. Biden has natural tendencies toward authoritarianism. He knows that 80% of the public believe that the 2020 election was rigged. His natural tendency is to cover that by being even more authoritarian.
I remain hopeful that conservatives will turn out in overwhelming numbers to vote the rascals out, despite Republicans apparent desire to lose (witness the Safer Communites Act.) Locally, for example, Donnie Harrison is running again for Sheriff. The current Sheriff, Democrat Baker has been a disaster, mean, vindictive, but most importantly flouts the laws. Harrison, by contrast may not be the heroic Sheriff that others have been, but at least he enforces the laws as written. Everyone can not be a hero. Sometimes doing the actual job you voted for them to do is enough.
Which brings us to today's post. I want to write to gentle readers about When Must a Good Citizen Become a Dissident by J. B. Shurk at the American Thinker. I have written about the need to speak the Truth, especially when the truth is being denied by everyone around you. If those who promote lies can get you to speak the lies they tell, they have you. You have been literally de-moralized. But you can not, for your very soul, flag from the Truth.
After my condemnation of our "banana republic" in a previous essay, a clever commenter remarked pithily, "Last patriot turn out the lights." I laughed. But the truth is that the light is not dimming; it is getting brighter. We, all of us together, are in the sunshine business. And the more sunshine we bring, the more difficult it becomes for the darkness not to light up!
Case in point: After Facebook's Zuckerberg recently confessed to censoring the New York Post's explosive Hunter Biden "laptop from Hell" story (evidencing a compromised and most likely criminally culpable Biden family) before the 2020 election in response to FBI pressure that the social media giant treat real news as "Russian disinformation" (thereby corroborating that the national security Deep State helped rig the presidential election), the FBI superciliously responded with the equivalent of a teenaged shoulder shrug and a haughty "so what?" According to the FBI, our domestic spy agency regularly encourages censorship and secretive control over the free flow of information. No big deal!
Except it is a very big deal. Recent polling shows that nearly 80% of Americans believe that President Trump would have won re-election had voters "known the truth about Hunter Biden's laptop." In other words, the Deep State stole an election. This isn't a huge revelation for most readers here, but it is a huge revelation for those who have stubbornly refused to admit how corrupt and rotten the 2020 election was. Little by little, truth overpowers deceit. Let there be light!
In the sunshine business, our mission is to speak truth to power over and over again, much like a resolute punisher bringing down the lash against those who wound us with their lies. None of us alone must harbor the strength to complete the task at hand, for as long as another rises to give timely support and respite to any one weary arm, the lashings of truth will continue. That is truth's power and purpose: it cannot be bargained away or buried in the darkness for long. It lives whether its tormentors like it or not, and all we must do is recognize it, protect it, and sing its blessings from one shadow to the next, with courage and conviction, until the brightness it brings becomes glaring.
How do you collapse a corrupt system? By flooding it with oceans of luminous truth.
I urge gentle readers to consider Shurk's article, and to put it into practice in your own life. No, I do not expect that everyone will immediately become a "voice crying in the wilderness." But I also hope you will not let lies go by uncorrected. These are the times God has given us, We must not let our Light remain under a bushel.
