How many times have we all heard the saying, “Freedom isn’t free”? I know I’ve heard it hundreds of times throughout my life, but it’s always been reviewed through the lens of war. Yes, I understand that securing our country and its freedoms have required us to go to war and make the ultimate sacrifice such as WWII, but without the context of war, and without a clear enemy, what does that phrase actually mean? If freedom isn’t free, then what price have I been paying to keep and protect our freedom? And I have to say that after I really thought about it, my answer was, “nothing”. Outside of sharing a few posts on social media, I’ve done absolutely nothing. And I’ll bet the same goes for you. After all, what can we do? What are we supposed to do? Well, have you ever seen a pinata at a child’s birthday party? You’d blindfold the kiddo so they can’t see what’s happening, spin them around to disorient them, and then give them a stick to flail aimlessly in the air while trying to tell them which way to turn and where to swing? Well that my friends, is what we look like. The media and social media outlets have put a blindfold over our eyes so we can’t see what’s actually happening, while the media, Mark, and Jack tell us where to look, what to think, and who to blame. Whenever given the opportunity, politicians, (and I’m speaking to you Gavin Newsom and Phil Murphy, and Steve Adler), have done everything they can to harm Americans, instead of serving them. They have destroyed our cities, and Gavin wins the prize for taking out the entire State of California. Marxist organizations like Antifa have been allowed to roam the streets, burn houses and businesses, and murder American citizens without challenge or penalty. Small businesses and restaurants have been forced to close, while Walmart and Target remain open and filled with people. Family gatherings and Church services have been outlawed, but political marches and protests are just fine. When you look at how this situation has been handled over the past year, and if you’re a trusting and optimistic person, you might chalk all of this up to incompetence. But when you zoom out, and when you include what just took place in the Presidential Election, what’s really happening becomes incredibly clear. If someone is willing to set aside their personal beliefs and bias and look at what just took place on Election Night, the evidence of fraud is absolutely overwhelming. Every single day, you and I use encrypted, secure apps from our banks, and services like PayPal, and Venmo. But when it comes to voting, nope… We use machines with software developed outside the US with code developed for Hugo Chavez, we use overseas servers in Germany to count the votes, and then we have paper ballots that have been printed by the tens of millions, and that can be used by anyone without any kind of ID verification. Why? Because they don’t want free and fair elections… Just the illusion of them. What they actually want is power and control. And this is where I draw the line. Without free and fair elections, America is dead. Our entire country and system of governance is based on voting, so if the voting system gets compromised and controlled, that’s it. The America you and I have loved is gone, and that is what’s at stake and about to happen right now on our watch. This is not a political statement. I did not vote for Donald Trump, or Joe Biden, and who you or I want to win is absolutely irrelevant. If a compromised election goes through and is allowed to stand, then there’s no turning back. The purpose and point of voting will be gone. Our voices will be silenced, and we will never be able to elect our representatives again. Do you remember whenever you’d see a Presidential Election in Russia, and Putin would magically win e
