Today Marks Referendum on the Elite Political Class

voter referendum against status quo

President Biden "decided a few days ago that it was important to issue one final warning on this issue . . ." clarified the unelected, White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain to put a finer point on the threat that good Americans had better not question any election results or processes, lest they be branded a "danger to democracy" or worse, "big lie" believers.

Sorry Mr. Klain. 

We the People, will be retaining our right to freedom of speech despite:

  • Dramatic speeches with red backdrops
  • Marines used as props
  • Fire-breathing anger from the president

Obviously, you all have forgotten who you work for.

It's a sure bet that today on  — Election Day, Nov. 8, 2022 — you will be greeted with stunning reminders, and equally stunning reversals, in the form of a massive vote against your agenda.

Average Americans (the majority of us by the way), might be laughing at this nonsense if the abyss you and your far-left tribe are throwing us toward wasn’t so serious.

On Election Day (today!) — and the days following, Americans will evaluate the evidence, weigh the magnitude; and decide our next — peaceful, steps.

As a civil society, our sense of reason and laws demand it.

We're still scratching our heads trying to figure out how you all found pollsters to publicly claim the administration has 38% favorability heading into the elections.

And still, you wonder why the people lost confidence in government and media.

Citizens are concerned about real leadership, or the lack thereof, with record inflation, unnecessarily high gas prices, a nationwide crimewave, a wide-open border, and China/cartels killing our children with fentanyl shaped like Skittles!

In all the pandering going into the election, nary a word of concern for the people.

Rather: lectures, warnings, and misinformation, projected by a plethora of speechwriters using Orwellian classifications of dissent should the people dare to question the integrity of our elections.

Classifying "MAGA" Republicans "as a threat to our democracy" should give every American across the political spectrum cause for alarm. (Tip for shadowy overlords: we are a republic, not a democracy)

What are these overpaid staffs selling?

Nothing Americans want to buy — and therein lies the problem with power.

How about a refresher from the Constitution which protects us from the "Ministry of Truth":

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." — 1st Amendment. United States Constitution

You don’t need an Ivy League law degree like Ron Klain to understand this language.

Our inalienable rights come from our Creator, not Ron Klain, nor any president or ex-president, nor speaker.

This "Captain Obvious" has taken to the airwaves to issue us a "final warning" in case we didn’t get it. How dare We the People guard our liberties zealously?

The First Amendment guarantees an individual the right to think whatever you want to think. And if you are not advocating violence, you can speak or write whatever you like, including purported discrepancies in the legal voting process.

See something, say something. And get your smart phone to capture it as evidence.

We have an absolute right to question our government regardless of elections, corruption, skullduggery, or gaming the system.

Klaus Schwab’s utopian vision does not include your rights —  only his.

What do those rights look like?

The World Economic Forum (WEF) believes more in the tyrannies of North Korea and China, than the wisdom of the people.

Perhaps these shrill warnings are meant to quell dissent if things once again, don’t seem quite right to We the People. Every single barometer we have from polls to the inflation rate tells us that the nation has had enough of endless money printing, green new deals, and lawlessness.

All indicators show a massive red wave sweeping the country.

This is a referendum on the political class and bureaucracy demanding an immediate course correction.

Warning to cheaters — a red gurgle will be suspect with Ron saddened by the vocal pushback.

We unflinchingly support and defend our Constitution and Bill of Rights and we call on all Americans to do the same regardless of the technocrats warnings.

While prayerful for free, fair, and peaceful elections across the country, if we wake up the morning after to more shocking accounts of improprieties, it is our right, indeed, our duty to question and examine it.

This Election Day, and on all others, we must all reaffirm our dedication to the American system of self-government. Our Founders created a dynamic system of checks and balances and as such, has enabled us to rise together, as a beacon of hope and liberty for more than 239 years.

The day after election day the real work begins. We have a republic if we can keep it.
