If I hear “Happy Fourth” one more time today, I am going to blow my top. Today we celebrate Independence Day, not a random integer!

I have little doubt many Americans are willing to die for their beliefs. Everyone who wears the uniform of our nation agrees to that being a possibility.

On this day I am reminded how proud I am of the men and women that drafted our founding documents and fought to be free us from British tyranny. But I am furious at the press headlines and "reporting" on the recent SCOTUS decisions that were absolutely based on those very founding documents.

It seems to me that the entire Democrat political strategy, and it works fabulously, is to isolate entities to pin to the Republicans and then negative brand with the goal of inflaming voter demographic rage against the entity and then the Republicans by proxy. For the young female voter, SCOTUS is now the boyfriend that dumped them, or in the case of real lesbian female voters, the representative man that they will always hate and strive to eliminate.

This strategy is required by the Democrats because it had become clear, especially after the 2010 midterms and then the 2016 election, that not enough people were buying their ideological dog food. Their decision after 2016 was basically to burn down the entire system rather than concede defeat of their beloved left ideology.

But the strategy is really nothing without the means to execute it. And the means is where we should focus almost all of our attention: the corporate media.

The core media is not the independent press today. The media, the mainstream corporate media, is in fact a corrupted collaborator in the project to unmake America and all of western society into something it should never be. But for it to work, the country would need to be thrown into greater chaos and conflict, because otherwise the people would resist the attempt to transform it. And undermining all the great American institutions that have become the shining city on the hill for the rest of the world would need to be their front-line.

I don't blame the modern Democrats, the modern left, for doing what they do. But with every headline from the mainstream media that is clearly designed to attack the legitimacy of the Supreme Court and other of our honored institutions, I dream of a traitors' trial and execution of those responsible. Those that own and control the levers and switches of the mainstream media that are complicit in this project to divide the country, sew chaos and undermine our institutions are no less guilty of treason than were the Rosenbergs.

They hide behind the First Amendment, but they are players in an elaborate insurrection.

On the celebration of this day, I think we need to be reminded of the fragility of what it represents and resolve the necessary actions require to protect it.
