Freeze Frame: Trump will win but the US is on a collision course
Lessons from history and where we go next
Yesterday, many Americans found themselves in tears, shocked that President Trump was found guilty by the kangaroo court. May 30th will be remembered as a day of infamy for the United States.
For those of us hardened by life, who have experienced other regimes, or who are simply aware of where America is in its history, Trump's verdict was no surprise; it was expected. You see, we knew the U.S. became a banana republic on November 3, 2020. Yesterday, though, it was made official to the masses.
This sham of a trial was actually quite restrained. In a fully-fledged dictatorship, political opponents are thrown in jail or assassinated without the bread and circus of a trial for optics. The fact that Trump is not even in prison signals that America still has a chance.
How so? The overlords, while incompetent, are not stupid. Trump is ahead of his 2016 and 2020 numbers. Yesterday, his campaign website crashed under a flood of donations. Trump is the most popular figure in America, inhabiting an unrivaled class of his own. If the election were held today, it would not be a tsunami, or an earthquake, or a volcanic eruption. It would be all three combined and more. These are not my sentiments; this is the data of real polling across the nation. “They” know they cannot do something as drastic as putting him in handcuffs, because the will of the American people at that point would be unpredictable and beyond their control. Therefore, expect more of this clash of the Titans as each side vies for control of the narrative and this country’s destiny.
But I digress. Even if Trump were president tomorrow, he could captain the ship, but not rectify it. America is like the Titanic: a big, beautiful, and seemingly indestructible vessel heading straight for an iceberg, and we know the crash is just ahead. This means all hands on deck must be active to correct course if we want to stay afloat and possibly escape the impact.
Trump cannot do it all, especially at the county level. If you were targeted by the FBI, would your sheriff protect you? I'm helping one who knows my name and has my back. If the CDC or Homeland Security declared closures due to a parakeet flu, would your commissioners shut down the county? Is your Supervisor of Elections allowing illegals to get on the voter rolls?
Primaries are on August 20th in Florida. Are our candidates well-versed in the U.S. and Florida Constitutions? Would they uphold these founding documents and the principles they espouse? This is when we can elect who represents our aspirations. Otherwise, it will be business as usual.
Sadly, business as usual is what has gotten us into this mess. That is why America presents itself contrary to what you and I aspire to. The liberties, freedoms, and rights enshrined in the Constitution are written in our hearts and souls because they follow natural law. But in absence of civic education, history lessons, and basic constitutional knowledge, in less than one generation, we are about to lose the essence of what makes this country unique and set apart from any other nation in recorded history.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

As a mom of three boys, I learned early on that parenting males is quite simple and pretty basic. All they need to know is:
What are the rules?
What are the consequences of breaking said rules?
Who will enforce the rules and dole out the consequences?
Clearly, the current political class has forgotten the rules and faces no consequences because no one is enforcing accountability. Only when we, the people, remind them of this simple formula, will common sense, courtesy, and civility return to our society and prevail in our governance. I am not only sharing my thoughts, but also taking action by managing what could become the most expensive political campaign for a state seat in Florida’s history.
Obviously, I support a grassroots candidate. This means Gerry James has not capitulated to big business or lobbyists. His funding is limited, relying on volunteers to share his message. Grassroots campaigns depend on many hands and feet; otherwise, they lose to establishment-supported PACs and special interests. It is like pushing a snowball up a volcano, but if we fail to get involved, we get what we get and must not be upset.
Does Gerry have a chance? Absolutely. Because both he and I are following the path God has set forth for us, obeying His divine will, we find ourselves with weekly encouragement and signs of favor. Stay tuned for updates, I’ll write as I learn in my new series:

Lessons Learned Managing Florida’s Most Contentious and Expensive Political Campaign.
Father God,
We give thanks because our fellow Americans and citizens of the world are awakening from their deep slumber and the shackles of the mind that enslave them. Quicken this realization so that they may become activated to participate in the affairs of their governance.
We give thanks for President Trump, who has been willing to receive the slings and arrows of infamy so that we may realize just how perilous our times have become. Lord, continue to protect his body, bless his spirit, and give sustenance to his soul. Surround him with wise counsel and healthy emotional support.
We receive your peace and infusion of unwavering courage in the face of these challenges as we forge ahead on the narrow road. We march in faith that you are opening doors as we walk in your shadow.
In your name,
AFree
