PREFACE

The American Heartland has had enough and it is going to do something about it in 2022 and 2024. Let’s be clear, the United States of America is a great country. To most Americans, it is the greatest country in the World. It was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and became a free nation in 1776. It corrected its major flaw, the slavery of blacks in 1865. It wasn’t a perfect correction. It took the courage of a black pastor, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to peacefully protest and achieve what was written in 1776, We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

People in the American Heartland are not racist, and they are through being called that by the media, celebrities and political elites. They believe that All Lives Matter to their Creator and that the Black Lives Matter movement is Marxist blather and evil in its intent.

The Heartland rejects the onslaught of fascists calling themselves Antifa. They are the obvious brown shirts of the Democratic Party since there was no outcry from that party during the violent protests and riots during 2020 and there has been no effort by Federal law enforcement to arrest the leaders and organizers of those local insurrections. Catch and release is not law enforcement. Politicians like Kamala Harris paying the legal fees of looters is, in itself, near criminal. And yes, those BLM/Antifa riots were actual insurrections against the Rule of Law. Federal property was damaged, civilians and police were killed and over 2000 law enforcement officers were injured. A retired police captain, David Dorn, was fatally shot during a BLM/Antifa inspired looting while he was protecting a friend’s property in St. Louis. Captain Dorn had been a father of five and had 10 grandchildren. He had been passionate about helping young people, but BLM didn’t care.

The event of January 6, 2021 at the Nation’s capitol was not an insurrection. It was a social media-fueled protest that was hijacked by a few individuals. To call that an insurrection while ignoring the damage done by BLM and Antifa all summer 2020 and even as it continues in Portland, Oregon is disingenuous. To place the Capitol behind razor wire with National Guard troops on the perimeter is an over-reaction and political theater. Hunting down those few Capitol protestors while ignoring the large number of BLM/Antifa protest organizers has been a departure from Equal Justice under the Law. And it has not gone unnoticed by the Heartland.

The nation’s law enforcement and intelligence agencies have lost credibility with We the People as a result of the Russian Collusion hoax initiated by those very agencies. Fifty of those past agency heads even tried to cover up the dubious activity of the Biden family captured on Hunter Biden’s laptop by issuing a statement saying it was all Russian disinformation.  The old saying, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me comes to mind. A two-tier legal system is not going to be tolerated and the rejection will come in 2022 at the ballot box. And these ballots will be watched closely. That will set the table for 2024.

The initial days of the Biden Administration have been an affront to the American Heartland. In his shallow election campaign, former VP Joseph Biden bragged that he would be the most Progressive President in history. Progressivism is Socialism.  During the campaign when asked by George Stephanopoulos about the use of executive orders to legislate what he said he believed should require approval from Congress, his response was No, well, I’ve gotta get the votes. I gotta get the votes. That’s why — you know, the one thing that I — I have this strange notion. We are a democracy. Some of my Republican friends and some of my Democratic friends even occasionally say, ‘Well, if you can’t get the votes, by executive order you’re going to do something.’ Things you can’t do by executive order unless you’re a dictator. We’re a democracy. We need consensus. He was right but he didn’t mean it in his heart.

His first order of business was to issue a barrage of Executive Orders that undid positive actions of his predecessor, Donald Trump. With a great flourish, he would cancel the Keystone XL pipeline, forcing thousands of Americans out of work, including thousands of highly-skilled union jobs. It was just stupid. The American refineries need the heavy crude from Canada and now it will be shipped by trucks and railcars. Next, he would undo the positive border and immigration action taken by the Trump administration. This will have terrible consequences. The health and social security systems supported by American citizens will be overwhelmed by the influx of illegal aliens and crime rates will increase. National security will be more difficult to achieve with no checks at the open border. There will be an influx of terrorists. They will blend in with the flow of undocumented immigrants. 

After his senseless Executive Orders, he would then appoint nearly all of the known corrupt officials of the past Obama/Biden Administration to important roles, to include Susan Rice, an individual that openly lied to the American people on broadcast media five times in one day. She would now push equity not equality. This would be followed by the appointment of John Kerry as Climate Czar, nearly the most misinformed politician of all time with the exception of perhaps, Biden himself as evidenced by his initial actions. Biden would tout the diversity of his cabinet appointees, not competency or relevant experience. They had none. It was the color of their skin, gender or sexual orientation, not their character that mattered. Even before completing his first 100 days, Biden has set back American race relations 100 years.

It is very apparent that President Biden and the Democratic Party did not understand the message of the 2016 Presidential Election or the 2010 Tea Party. Their focus was, and continues to be, on the negative personality traits of the Messenger, Donald Trump and not the Message itself. It was the Trump Administration policies under the banners Make America Great Again and America First that most of the Nation supported with near unanimous support in the American Heartland. Trump’s agenda resonated with the very essence of Heartland values, Individual Freedom, Equality of Opportunity and The American Dream.

It is also very apparent that the mainstream media have failed in their duty to be objective reporters. They do not need to be patriots. They just need to be honest and they haven’t been for a long time. It may be too late for the media to return to the Journalist Creed. If they remain corrupt, they can watch as the American Heartland rises to do its duty at the ballot box in 2022.

THE AMERICAN HEARTLAND

The United States of America is a polarized nation. It is split between two factions. One faction is guided by Common Sense. The other faction relies on Emotion.  These factions are inherent in the human condition and the United States is not immune.

There is a need for some Emotion. Common Sense can be extremely boring and interest in a singular subject can, and will, fade rapidly. Emotion, on the other hand, grabs the attention of the masses. It doesn’t matter if it is fact or fiction, truth or lies, or even rationality or insanity. The era of the Trump Administration brought both of these factions to the surface. Unfortunately for the Nation, there has been only one predominate viewpoint driven by the mainstream media, a viewpoint that was blurred by a singular Emotion, a visceral hatred for President Trump. 

In the 2016 Presidential election, the Heartland made itself known by choosing a populist outsider to be the Chief Executive, Donald J. Trump. This election went contrary to the establishment in Washington D. C., nicknamed The Swamp and brought dismay to the mainstream media. President Trump had won through the Electoral College but lost the popular vote by less than three million votes. The outcome was decided by the swing
