Something grinds my gears! People putting their awe of the icon above the morality of the movement. "Grinds my gears" is an idiom meaning something is annoying or frustrating you, originating from the literal grinding sound of manual car gears clashing when shifted improperly. It is a metaphor for being driven crazy or made angry by something, and not meant to be taken literally.
I am a huge fan of Real America's Voice, the home of Steve Bannon's War Room. As the former owner of The Exceptional Conservative Network (TECN) and the former host of The Exceptional Conservative Show (TECS), I know and appreciate the craft of producing and engineering a 24/7 MAGA news and media-rich format and hosting a conservative show five (5) nights a week and a Bible study on Sunday mornings. The individuals that do such Herculean labors are axolute patriote. In the MAGA Movement, we are sincerely dazzled by the efforts of truly blessed craftsmen and click-bait hustlers like Candace Owens and others. However, there was great bravada uttered by hosts Terrance Bates, David Brody, and Dr. Gina Loudon on the American Sunrise show before the Schumer Shutdown. The hosts bantered about their desire for the government to shutdown because of its errors, inefficiencies and lack of efforts to correct itself. Then as the shutdown progressed, the hosts began to whine that they wanted to "open the government" because "they didn't want anyone hurt", federal employees paid, the country feed, and Republicans to immediately fix Obamacare. MAGA stood! The neo-cons and conservative icons flinched. The country fed and the Republicans take the incoming blame from its mortars.
Forget that the Trump Administration transferred $300 million to fund the WIC program, which supports mothers and babies. The Trump Administration was ordered by courts to partially fund SNAP benefits by releasing $4.6 billion from a contingency fund, but only after facing a lawsuit and a judge's order. SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children) are both U.S. government nutrition assistance programs that provide benefits to low-income families. What an incredible judicial victory over the Zohran Mamdani-led Democrats! They have been fighting against his Article Two powers since 2017 and then, surrendered to them during the Shutdown fiasco. From pillar to post, this victory should have been harvested and proclaimed throughout the MAGA world. But deaf ears, blind to the victory were mute in delivery. Bannon has discussed Article II of the Constitution, which outlines the powers of the President, in the context of executive power, particularly in relation to the "take care clause" and the extent of presidential authority over independent agencies. He has used interpretations of these powers to argue for a more expansive presidential role, including a broad interpretation of executive privilege. Either Trump has power to "take care" of the government or Congress does when its not in operation.
- "Take Care Clause": Bannon has invoked the "take care clause," which requires the president to faithfully execute the laws, to argue about the president's power over independent agencies like the SEC and FCC, a position that challenges the traditional understanding of these agencies' independence.
- Executive Privilege: Bannon has used the concept of executive privilege to refuse to provide information to Congress, arguing it protects the president's communications and inner workings. He has also been inconsistent in his application of this principle, sometimes arguing that executive privilege prevents him from sharing information but not others.
- Presidential Power: His discussions of Article II often center on a vision of a stronger executive branch, which some critics have described as a challenge to the separation of powers and the authority of Congress.
- Congressional Power: Bannon's focus on executive power has been contrasted with the powers of Congress, which, while not explicitly given the power to investigate in the Constitution, have the power to do so through established precedent, including the power of subpoena.
Once again the MAGA media reported how fragile and brittle the Movement was. From the jaws of victory over the Schumer Shutdown, the conservative media snatched defeat of Chuck Schumer, Jasmine Crockett, and the Radical Left from the mainstream media. MAGA acts like its kryptonite is victory.
I implore the MAGA foundation and those along for the ride because they are President Donald Trump voters to please stop treating the MAGA Movement like its fragile or brittle. Each time a beloved character or overly worshipped icon of the Movement falters, there seems an overly anxious holding of breaths awaiting the fall of the kingdom or Movement! Elon Musk is at odds with Trump over special immigration provisions of United States corporate law, there goes the Movement is Dead! US Attorney General Pamela Bondi isn't perp-walking former Presidents Barack Hussein Obama II and Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. fast enough, the Movement is dead! Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and Trump had a tiff and she is resigning from Congress, the Movement is dead!
MAGA is the acronym for "Make America Great Again," a political slogan and movement most strongly associated with President Donald Trump. It generally represents a conservative political ideology focused on themes of nationalism, populism, and a desire to return to a perceived past greatness, though its specific meaning can vary among supporters. The movement encompasses political, cultural, and social aspects and is characterized by strong loyalty to Donald Trump. MAGA is bigger than Trump, Musk, Bannon, Greene, or Owens, otherwise vote Democrat and become an illegal alien. They are merely flawed messengers of a divine message.
The Conversation in "What MAGA means to Americans" reports, "When asked what MAGA means to him, Trump, in a 2017 interview with The Washington Post said, “To me, it meant jobs. It meant industry, and meant military strength. It meant taking care of our veterans. It meant so much.”"
MAGA is more than a red cap, an icon, or a click-bait chick. MAGA is more than a political slogan or innovation to go tit for tat with Crockett. It is more than a way of thinking that you are Mr. or Mrs. Popular. More than a coffee sponsorship or some towels, pillows, or gold. MAGA is a Movement. Its ultimate goal is the return of the American citizen to prominence on the world stage and the destruction of the Democrat Party, a world class terrorist organization.
Too many of us are fastened to worldly approval and acceptance by the "mainstream". Once labeled the "ugly duckling", you are forever the outcast with the labeler. Believers are encouraged to live such good lives that they bring glory to God in the eyes of others, including unbelievers. Like Christ, you will be misunderstood, mocked, and lied about. You will not be accepted, even at times, those closest to you.
"Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death; But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses," (Matthew 26:59–60).
The Conversation reported this about "America First", "Democrats revealed outright condescension toward MAGA believers.“The MAGA’s are brainwashed, idiotic members of society who know nothing more than to follow the lead of an idiotic president who has the vocabulary of a 3rd grader,” one Democrat wrote. “It is nonsense idiots parrot,” another respondent said."
Before you condemn our victories and proclaim the Democrats "Kings", please light the candle of the moral arguers-MAGA is moral and the Democrat Party is immoral. Which disputant aligns more readily with the John 10:10 Conference: "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." The Democrats are the thieves in sheep's clothing. The abundance America seeks is in MAGA and America First. Emanuel Grace in an "An Open Letter to the Nation on why the Democrat Party is a Cult of Death, a Tool of the Devil and of Antichrist, as well as a Clear and Present Danger to the Church and the Nation" wrote, "To be sure, the Democrat party is the party of the godless liberal demonic woke pagan cult of Liberals, Marxists, Atheists, statists, idolaters, sodomites, feminist bitches, abortionists and pedophiles, liars and deceivers, criminals and reprobates, Hollywood thugs and serial rapists, neo-fascist warmongers, spiritual faggots, traffickers and traitors, as well as all out Satanists. The whole party is DEMONIC! Romans 1:18-32!
It is also good to know that President Trump is not just the only choice for conservatives and Christians, he is a great choice, and the best choice since Reagan! He is even better than Reagan! And he has exposed the manifold evils and hypocrisy of the old Bush-Cheney establishment. And so in voting for President Trump, you will not only be opposing a wicked and reprobate feminist woke pagan liberal witch named Kamala Harris, but also the very works of the Devil and antichrist by doing so!"
MAGA is not fragile or brittle, so stop treating it that way. "There was once a dream that was Rome. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish... it was so fragile," said by Marcus Aurelius in the movie Gladiator. This quote reflects the idea that an empire's ideals can be easily lost or corrupted by the very people and systems that should be protecting them. Rome ain't America First and MAGA ain't Marcus Aurelius. MAGA is built on five premises: taking the reins of government, building the common defence,taking care of the general welfare, rebuilding the economy, placing Article Two controls on independent regulatory agencies. This problem took 250 years to metastasize and will take a short while to correct. One Man should not be expected to alone lift this heavy burden. It will take a revolutionary army! The Radical Left use violence, starvation and fear. We must use the pen, common sense and reason to organize, mobilize and execute justice. George Orwell said, “What sickens me about left-wing people, especially the intellectuals, is their utter ignorance of the way things actually happen." We should not shackle an iron yoke of false expectation on the minds of so many of our great patriots. We must fasten our endeavors on the premises-Mandate for Leadership 2025: The Conservative Promise-and not the icon. We have a blueprint for our revolution and John 10:10 is the blueprint for theirs.
The Mandate for Leadership 2025 informs, "Forty-four years ago, the United States and the conservative movement were in dire straits. Both had been betrayed by the Washington establishment and were uncertain whom to trust. Both were internally splintered and strategically adrift. Worse still, at that moment of acute vulnerability and division, we found ourselves besieged by existential adversaries, foreign and domestic. The late 1970s were by any measure a historic low point for America and the political coalition dedicated to preserving its unique legacy of human flourishing and freedom," We have to great a journey to be bogged down by icons. The Democrats are not bogged down by icons and personalities. The revolutionary tyrants always choose policy over people and their useful idiots oblige. Because we have no useful idiots, we choose icons and personalities over policy.
MAGA is not fragile or brittle, we must stop treating it that way!
Fragile (adj.) is 1510s, "liable to sin, morally weak;" c. 1600, "liable to break;" a back-formation from fragility, or else from French fragile (Old French fragele, 14c.), from Latin fragilis "easily broken," from root of frangere "to break" (from PIE root *bhreg- "to break"). Transferred sense of "of frail constitution" (of persons) is from 1858.
Brittle (adj.) is"breaking easily and suddenly," late 14c., britel, perhaps from an unrecorded Old English adjective *brytel, related to brytan "to crush, pound, to break to pieces," from Proto-Germanic stem *brutila- "brittle," from *breutan "to break up" (source also of Old Norse brjota "to break," Old High German brodi "fragile"), from PIE *bhreu- "to cut, break up" (see bruise (v.)). With -le, suffix forming adjectives with meaning "liable to." Related: Brittleness.
MAGA is neither fragile or brittle. So STOP freezing and giving room for the Philistine giant, Jasmine Crockett, to heckle you and defoul your Living God (1 Samuel 17). The Biblical Truth of Goliath describes him mocking the armies of Israel and their God. Goliath's taunts were arrogant and contemptuous, stemming from pride in his physical strength. He challenged Israel to send a single man to fight him, threatening that if he won, the Israelites would become his slaves. He cursed David by his own gods and, in doing so, insulted the "Living God" of Israel, leading to the confrontation that David ultimately won.
Crockett is an embarrassment to women, Texas and the race.
