In the shadow of the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning USA, a stain now exists upon our nation's collective conscious, a condition that must be excised, or our nation will not function properly as one of a self-governed people. Understanding these long standing truths: What would you suggest as a quick, and, or proper corrective measure?

18.18% Destroy the Fascist Donald Trump and all of MAGA, because America must never be Great Again.

81.82% Our self-governed people, and their properly restored institutions, under President Trump, must discover the root causes to properly correct, and save our Constitutional Republic.

Comments for Vetting – It is certainly not a new word

But you would think it was only invented on November 8, 2016. The word originally was used in horse-racing when it referred to checking all horses in a race by a veterinarian. The original term was to 'VET' because of the examination.

If all else fails, here is the summary.

One of my fall back crutches was audio books because I spent so much windshield time. I must have been 16 or so when I last read Brave New World and every thing seemed stilted to me then. Maybe a audio version will make it easier, or spark-notes for summary.

I've trying to start Brand New World, but the writing is so interminably stilted. I am with you 100% on the other two books that are harrowing tales of what could become our future if the Liberals /Socialists continue unabated.

For me writing should flow like water.

I guess that I have become a writing snob.

It is funny how certain books create a foundation for living. That is why education is too important to be left to the government and tenured professors.

Three of the most influential books in my early years are obvious from my current political bent. Atlas Shrugged, Brave New World and 1984. I cannot say that I was then or even now a devout follower of humanist, pacifist, democratic socialism or objectivism as the authors were. Nevertheless, there was something about their basic thesis that fit my iconoclastic personality. (Excerpt from Grandpa's Dairies: My most influential books.)

Dude, as you probably know, I am a huge Orwell fan.

Even when I was an idiot Hippie I got it. I had an advanced English instructor, who swore that I had plagiarized an analysis I had written on the book "1984", but could not prove it; actually said it was one of the best he had ever read on the classic. I kind of understood because I did not fit the stereotype that could write such as a jock-turned-hippie.

Decades later, that English professor called me and apologized for that accusation. He had read some stuff I had written that he really liked, and told me that he knew I was capable of such.

Strange world; and even more strange Orwellian.
