Christmas and the Real Reset.

Let us keep the tradition, in its full meaning, alive, relevant and remain faithful to that way which is conducive to the preservation of the transcendental reset that Jesus began.

The Feast of the Nativity or Christmas signals the annual celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. The significance of this date, under no circumstances, should be relegated strictly for the faithful. It marked the beginning of a Life, human in flesh yet divinely commensurate and all powerful. Simply put, the world changed as a result of the coming of the Savior. This is not to say that evil would be expunged from the world. No. That would violate the very laws and premise for His human incarnation and the course He was to charter. Upon its material culmination, a permanent renovation took hold. 

Despite all the challenges by the forces of evil of yesterday and today, the essence of the values, the worldview, and the hope which that exceptional Life bestowed on humanity, is ever alive and present. It is most fitting to take some of those magnanimous things into account. Let us consider just three.

Christianity as the religion, movement, belief system that ensued following the life of Jesus, set into motion a true universal reset. Let us begin with freedom. The very notion itself of voluntarily choosing to believe or not, was a revolutionary innovation that underscored the part that freedom was given in this new way of looking and living in the world.

The Perils of Private Money in Public Elections.

Benefactors of this massive outlay of private money insist on its importance in facilitating the election process within their jurisdictions.

Private money in American elections is nothing new. While referring to the electoral victory of Andrew Jackson in 1828, considered by many to have epitomized the patronage model, a New York senator said, “that to the victor belongs the spoils”. Consequentially, the support and practice of returning favors by way of government positions, contracts, and other mechanisms, instituted a spoils system which grew to epic proportions and so corrupted the exercise of popular sovereignty, that a call for needed regulatory safeguards became a common clamor.

The 'Fascist' Label and Its Misuse.

Fascism is as far left as Communism. Both are socialism’s children.

“Fascist” is one of the most common terms utilized to brand one’s political enemies. This phenomenon has been aggrandized to epic proportions given its immersion in popular culture. While most people or groups who employ it know extraordinarily little about Fascism, they understand all they need to know and it is that it has negative connotations. The term has become atomically weaponized, primarily, by the left to describe, well, basically anyone they do not agree with. However, some on the right, most likely to score politically correct points, have also succumb to the temptation and throw jabs with it every once and a while.

The truth is that its misuse demonstrates the high level of political illiteracy that exists. Some radical left-wing groups, like Antifa, even have it embedded in their name: “antifascism”. Yet, it should surprise no one that just as so few have bothered to read Karl Marx or Friedrich Engels, it is likely that they never even heard of Giovanni Gentile, Fascism’s intellectual overseer. This nescient charade of concept and language manipulation, if consciously confronted, would surprise many.

A 2021 Contested Election?

The matter of a contested election is not a novelty in American politics. It must be emphasized, however, that not all contested electoral processes have qualified for a contested election.

Donald J. Trump could join the ranks of Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams on January 6th, 2021.  The United States Constitution in Article Two, Section 1, Clause 3, later modified by the 12th Amendment in 1804, calls for a process known as a “contested election”. This procedure addresses the problem raised when a presidential or vice-presidential candidate has not obtained enough electoral votes in an election. At that point, in the case of a contested presidential election, it calls for the House of Representatives to hold a special election to cast one vote per state for one of the candidates, thereby electing the nation’s chief executive.

Why might this obscure constitutional mechanism be relevant now? Unbeknown to some (or many), the 2020 presidential election is, in fact, being disputed. Contested presidential elections in the United States are not new. They go back as far as 1796 and have occurred, in total, on six previous occasions (1796, 1800, 1824, 1860, 1876 and 2000). Additionally, there have been elections, that while not technically disputed, certainly were tainted with questionable integrity issues such as with Grover Cleveland and Benjamin Harrison in 1888, and in 1960, the election of Richard Nixon versus John F. Kennedy.
