A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about state governments going too far with their legislation and regulations in Government gone wild: https://open.substack.com/pub/curetsky/p/government-gone-wild?r=xb9l8&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web. Today, it’s time for Government gone wild: Federal edition:

Perhaps it’s never having heard or read the classics that has led so many Americans to desire Marxism. Let’s make Little Golden Books great again!

Americans have, in large part, gone off the rails over elections. The reactions from both Democrats and Republicans in the wake of November 5 further reveals something I’ve said for a long time - most Americans have little, if any, knowledge or understanding of the Constitution. Working in tech as I do, a common phrase when you want to know how something works is RTFM - Read the F^@#!*$ Manual. It’s time for all Americans to do just that. Don’t worry, it’s a lot shorter and easier to read than the end-user agreement for your new iPhone or your Windows upgrade (unlike , it’s written in plain English).

A link to a transcript of the Constitution is included in the following: https://open.substack.com/pub/curetsky/p/rtfm-america-adb?r=xb9l8&utm_medium=ios

Since the election was called for Trump, the media has been in massive meltdown mode over Our Democracy™ and how millions of people voted to end democracy by electing the anti-democracy candidate. I think it’s time for us all to go back to school and get some proper civics education.

Can democracy survive an anti-democrat?

There are many happy people and a lot of unhappy people today in the wake of the presidential election. Regardless of which candidate you favored, can we be, as Harris repeatedly postulated, "unburdened by what has been"?

Everyone is stressing about the election. Regardless who wins tonight, we all know how the story ends, and you will want to be on the winning side when that time comes.

Morning, November 4

"For my strength is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9

A primary qualification for serving God with any amount of success, and for doing God's work well and triumphantly, is a sense of our own weakness. When God's warrior marches forth to battle, strong in his own might, when he boasts," I know that I shall conquer, my own right arm and my conquering sword shall get unto me the victory," defeat is not far distant. God will not go forth with that man who marches in his own strength.

He who reckoneth on victory thus has reckoned wrongly, for "it is not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts." They who go forth to fight, boasting of their prowess, shall return with their gay banners trailed in the dust, and their armour stained with disgrace.

Those who serve God must serve Him in His own way, and in His strength, or He will never accept their service. That which man doth, unaided by divine strength, God can never own. The mere fruits of the earth He casteth away; He will only reap that corn, the seed of which was sown from heaven, watered by grace, and ripened by the sun of divine love.

God will empty out all that thou hast before He will put His own into thee; He will first clean out thy granaries before He will fill them with the finest of the wheat. The river of God is full of water; but not one drop of it flows from earthly springs. God will have no strength used in His battles but the strength which He Himself imparts.

Are you mourning over your own weakness? Take courage, for there must be a consciousness of weakness before the Lord will give thee victory. Your emptiness is but the preparation for your being filled, and your casting down is but the making ready for your lifting up.

When I am weak then am I strong,
Grace is my shield and Christ my song.

- Spurgeon's Morning and Evening Devotions

Thomas Jefferson said, “A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circlue of our felicities.” Those in office today seem to have missed the memo.

If you think this election isn't important, you haven't been paying attention. The fate of the galaxy is in your hands!

We hear a lot today about threats to Our Democracy™. From where do these threat come? Most would say Trump and/or MAGA. Are these threats real? What is truly in danger? What is truly at risk? Let's take a look.

We often hear cries at election time for the dissolution of the electoral college, because "a candidate shouldn't be able to win the popular vote but still lose the election." On the contrary, that was the explicit reason for the electoral college. The President isn't supposed to be elected based on a strict majority vote. Let me explain...

Who needs college?

I originally wrote about our elections back in February, but I today inserted information from additional sources to help clarify. Now more than ever, understanding how our elections are supposed to work is critical for the American people.

Whoricane Kamala tore through the south leaving lies in her wake. She thought it would help her campaign, but as far as I can tell, she blew it.

A person's vocabulary can reveal intelligence or expose ignorance. Words can help express and clarify thoughts, or they can create confusion. Sometimes, even a title or opening statement can cause us to question the rest of what someone writes or says:
