Ramblings

 We've all said it in one form or another; "They're censoring 'X'!" Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Amazon hosting services, etc. Private companies deciding who can use their service or not and what content is allowed. Examples include Trump being banned from Twitter and other platforms, Facebook and its' so-called 'fact checkers', YouTube removing content that questions the approved Covid Narrative, and Amazon removing Parler. Yes. A Private Company can do this and it's not censorship in the terms of the Government doing it. It IS, however, Defacto Censorship. Why? Put simply, when all the ones doing it do so at the behest of Governmental Authorities of one Party or another. In this case, they're doing it with the Left's/Democrat explicit approval! Of course, all the heads of these companies, as well as their Human Resource Dept's people, are leftists as well. It's one giant Echo-chamber. THEY determine what YOU will be allowed to

 Perhaps this is a time of trial for me. I don't know. The Lord sends us trials to burn away our arrogance and perceived strength. Our self-reliance.

I thank Him who created and sustains me that I have another day, even though I may not have wanted such. Trials. Can one be thankful through pain? Through the growing rough patches of our aging y

 Indeed. The West is sloughing towards some very Dark Times. A new Dark Age is being ushered in by The Enlightened Ones. In other words, Woke Leftists. They are striving at making Conservatives of any stripe as well as White people the new 'Jew', the new 'Other', the new 'untouchable pariah'. To hear some of them talk about re-education or "deprogramming" Trump supporters should chill the bones of anyone familiar with such talk and its eventual results. Unfortunately, the Left has controlled 'Education' so that a growing number of younger people have no clue as to the pure, Satanic Evil that is Leftism and the number of people it has slaughtered throughout history in its quest for "Utopia".  They have no clue that THEY themselves are the Fascists. They have no clue that what they are advocating has lead to Gulags and Concentration Camps. Worse still, they don't CARE to know. You can show them, but they ignore it. It is a certain a
