Year (2023) In Review (Part 2)…

(See Part 1 link below article)

By: Joseph M. Lenard

Brief re-introduction, if you’d missed last week start of this two-parter… Hard to believe it has been now over two Calendar years (2022, 2023) that I’ve been writing pieces for TheLibertyBeacon.com and figured (like a Musical Artist) it might be time for a Greatest Hits Album (guess “JlenardDetroit Greatest Hits Vol. 2” since I already did the “Flashback” piece as “Greatest Hits Vol. 1”). LOL. But seriously, Thank You to all who have been with me the entire time, but certainly there have been some newer folks joining into my weekly Saturday drops more recently and who have no idea of some very important older items worthy of reprise (in part, see the originals for full texts, images, videos, there-in each).

Now, let’s dive right back into the review…

“Crime and Criminality”

••••

The two images immediately above relate to TLB pieces which did not have corresponding CTP Shows (but a subsequent “Victimhood” TLB piece and) CTP S1E20 Show was more-or-less a continuation (or part 3). The Victimhood piece deals more in the #IdentityPolitics and endless Race-baiting of The Left but the CTP Show (embedded below) contains discussion with Herbert “Herby” Kay about “Crime and Punishment, or the current lack there-of.” The two pieces I wrote on Crime prior to starting my CTP Show deals in The Left #DefundThePolice idiocy and how Polls show 4 in 5 Black Americans actually demand more Police protections, not less. This must be one of GOP Candidates list of Campaign items.

And too, the “God and Guns” (as Left cries for more Gun Laws while not holding to account and locking away those in violation of existing Gun Laws) piece and CTP S1E21 Show deals in how The Left Elites indeed do not care about their continued defunding Police putting Americans more and more at risk of harm and/or death, as they all are protected by Specialized and Personalized for their protection Armed Guards.

For more on Crime and Criminality see both related “Should Be ‘Duh, Now I Get It’ Moment, But Won’t Be For The Left” and “Crime, Criminals, and The Left’s Strained/Lacking Credulity” TheLibertyBeacon pieces which did not have corresponding CTP Shows. But, again, there is the full “Victimhood” S1E20 CTP Show.

“Ranked Choice Voting (Good, Bad, Ugly, The Rest Of The Story)”

The first episode of ChristiTutionalist ^TM Politics podcast was a “Welcome to the Show” one. The first “real substance” episode (S1E2) I discuss “Ranked Choice Voting” TLB piece and give you “The Rest of the Story” as Paul Harvey used to say, since most only know anything on this from The Charlie Kirk Show…

VIDEO (32m 35s):“ChristiTutionalist Politics” (S1E2) SNEAK PEEK at 7/1 “Ranked Choice Voting” Show:

Ranked Choice Voting: Great!! Well… let me back up, as I should say could, should, would, be great – except the (Ranked Choice Open Jungle Primary bastardized combination) way Mitch McConnell and AK RINOs conspired with FASCICRATS to do it to protect Lisa MurRINOski (see what I did there? Mur-COW-ski (phonetically)… never-mind, moving along). We need to break-down the convoluted and purposefully overly-complicated attempt to manipulate/rig “Ranked Choice Open Jungle Elections” (both Primary and General) in Alaska; only place ever done this way (again, purposefully created in convoluted overly-complex/complicated fashion to “favor” preferred “Establishment” #DeepState Candidates for the 2022 Election in Alaska and block Trump Candidates Kelly Tshibaka for U. S. Senate and Sarah Palin for U. S. House in Alaska); into the sum of its parts as to why “together” as a “mash-up” is completely moronic and absolutely NOT what I’ve been advocating for over the last couple of decades for Republican Primaries).

We need to discuss the “Ranked Choice” (or “Weighted Votes” when/where IMO done properly (some have come to call “Instant Run-off” that avoids need for that should a large Primary pool of Candidates mean that there is no clear 50%+1 Vote getter, as 2nd and 3rd choices are factored to automatically calculate Voter overall acceptance or rejection of any, some, or all, on said Ballot. It is essential to note that in a properly done RC system you are NEVER forced to Vote for more than one Candidate (can still “plunk” (which means to Vote for less that “allowable number of Candidates” one can choose; often done in County Judicial Races with large field of X-number of Candidates, to fit an overall Z-number of Benches; presumably making that one Vote count more) for your Candidate)!!! Instead all Voters have the “option” to do so if one chooses to indicate “ALL” those one likes/supports in a given contest as there may be several “good” choices in-your-opinion, or just/only one you’re willing to support and Vote for that I’ve been pushing for.

THE KEY is… Ranked-Choice BUT ONLY if, when, where, as a [OPEN/JUNGLE, no, vs] FULLY CLOSED (open only to pre-registered, for at least 2 years, GOP Voters) Republican Primary system; NOT the OPEN (and Michigan, as the Left always does, twists words/language and “pretends” to have a Closed Primary system but anyone can walk up on Primary day and get a GOP) Primary Ballot. Apart and completely separate from “Jungle Primary” concepts; that made the bastardization combo of the two together in Alaska such a disaster (but, by design, by RINOs to protect Lisa and block Sarah Palin).

Sadly only thing many have heard is the PARTIAL STORY by/from/with Charlie Kirk constantly complaining about AK and Murkowski on his Radio Talk-Show program.

For more on Ranked Choice see the “Ranked Choice Voting” TLB piece and listen in on the full CTP S1E2 Show.

Now, beyond just this year in review as my very first piece, is one of the most important pieces I’ve ever written was/is…

“Today’s Federalism Vs. Original Intent Federalists (Federalists and Federalism (of today), nowhere near the same mold as our Founders (of yesteryear) that wrote the Federalist Papers).”

Federalists and the Federalist papers, often misunderstood, most of whom we call Federalists today were (and the title itself somewhat) antithetical to what has been happening today being an ever-growing and expanding Federal government.

The folks like Pelosi, Joe BiDUMB, the squad, who we would call statists (another antithetical term, as some think it implies “States” in the separate U.S. States, but instead stands for massive unconstrained Federal authority Federalists as in overall governmental authority states) of today bear no resemblance to the Federalists of Hamilton, Madison, the 2 most notable Federalists of yesteryear and that would be considered more Anti-Federalists by todays understanding of the Political Spectrum as it has moved Leftward (the Overton Window. If you know Glenn Beck, you’ll be familiar with that term and if you are not you will want to research that). And today’s understanding, or lack-there-of, terminology, that has escalated since the Industrial Revolution (which, in and of itself, had no real bearing on how or why things should change.

But this coincidentally does coincide with the modern shifts in thinking and especially given notable for massive leaps Leftward in Spectrum toward Socialism of FDR and Johnson’s “Great Society” pushes).

We are a Republic, under a Limited Fed. Govt. declarative Constitution (ratified Sep 17 1787, began operations / Mar 4 1789) but there was a debate over having a King but our Religious Founders cry of NO KING BUT KING JESUS won out.

No, just because ANTIFA uses “Anarchist” tactics, does not mean they are ANTI-GOVT — they actually want to over-throw CONSTITUTIONALLY LIMITED GOVT in USA to reign in FULL FASCISM… #FACTSmatter #WORDSmatter #HISTORYmatters

My response to someone Parroting the #ENEMEdia distortions…

Your premise is way off. You already buy in and parrot the Lib #ENEMEdia narrative.

Just because someone may use ANARCHIST labeled/defined/usual tactics, does not make them Anarchists!

The REAL Political Spectrum (despite Left attempts to rewrite History)…

**[Image Source unknown, reverse image lookup provides no results, please comment if you know/find the originating Source]**

Just because a FASCIST uses “Anarchist tactics” does not make them one! A Leftist wanting to OVERTHROW THE US GOVERNMENT CONSTITUTIONAL CONSTRAINTS to then usher in TOTALITARIAN GOVERNANCE, may use Anarchist tactics but they are still Fascists in Anarchist ‘guise! Words have meaning, and STOP allowing yourself to be suckered into the Left-wing distortions and twisting of the Language!

If you missed last week’s part 1 of Year (2023) In Review (see it here).

Lastly, I will leave you with another Video, as this piece is getting up in the word-count again (I am usually far too long winded, many remind me) about how The Left destroys everything. Indeed, now their Political #IdentityPolitics and endless warping of Reality and more and more buying into complete Unicorn-Fart-Fantasy delusions Study now shows affecting the very dynamics of Male/Female interactions.
