Marshall in the Middle to Change to "An American Voice"

 By CE Marshall

    LADY JUSTICE 

     Dear loyal readers-- 

     As you may have noticed I've been rather hard on the Democrat party this past few blog posts.  Many people have commented to me "You're not moderate Chuck, you're far right".   While I dispute that, I have to admit my opinion of the Democrat party could not get any lower and my opinion of the Republican party is - at this point in history- that they are our only hope to bring power back to the people.  I always think about George Washington's disdain for the idea of political parties- and I think he was right- however the horse is out of the barn, and it's all we have to work with at this point.   I began this blog back in 2008 with the intention of being a moderate political commentator- A voice for Independents.    The years have passed and I've observed the federal government get worse and worse, larger and larger, more and more intrusive.  The people are no longer treated as the sovereign.  Even though the population is more and more Independent I can see that there really is no hope for the Independents to gain power and drive the country in a new direction.  They have no leader.  You can't have a movement without a strong leader.  The Republicans have a leader - Donald Trump- who seems to have intentions of removing the power away from Mad King George (my term for the ruling elites of our society- Academia, Corporate Media, Hollywood, Big Food, Big Pharma, etc....)   My highest hope is for a new Convention of States to draw power back to the states through the Constitution.   This movement is known as the Convention of States Movement.  I don't see any other path to firmly re-establishing the people as the sovereign of our country.   Many in Trump's cabinet and his Vice President- JD Vance- support the COS movement.  I see no reason to pretend I'm "in the middle" as the general population defines it.  I still feel my philosophy is to see both sides in any situation, however,  I do not see anything positive regarding the Democrat party today.  I see them as unjust and an enemy of the American people.  They are friends to whoever brings them more votes and power.  That is not a  group of people interested in justice.  This is a group of people who are totally "for sale".  As a consequence of this,   I can no longer write a blog entitled "Marshall in the Middle" in regards to the two main American political parties.   It is officially a misnomer.  As of the New Year, 2025- this blog will be titled "An American Voice".  Same internet address, different title.    

Thank you for reading,  and God Bless America

A Tale of Two Killers

 By CE Marshall 

     Dear Loyal Readers -  

     Today, I elaborate on the stories of the week-  two men accused of killing another human being- and the comparison and contrast to the reactions from the left-wing of our society under the leadership of the Democrat party.  Let me be clear on where this blog is going.  I have concluded that they are the Marxists of the United States today.  They seek victims to deceive and drag down any sort of decency that speaks truth in order to maintain their power and influence.  

           The Daniel Penny trial ended this week.  This young man was found innocent of criminal negligence for the death of a crack-head schizophrenic from whom he was protecting an entire subway car.   He basically stepped up to defend a subway full of frightened New Yorkers from a lunatic threatening to kill them.  He held the man in a choke-hold and the man ended up dying.  The intent of Daniel was to protect people.  A jury heard all the details of the killing and concluded he did not act with negligence and today he is a free man.  I trust that the jury made the right decision- they went through the process of a court hearing.   I was not there to give my full opinion on the matter.   Today, the left sees him as a bad person because he's white and the man that died was black.  The black guy's parents appeared out of nowhere after neglecting their son for years (as I understand it) trying to squeeze money out of the situation regarding their poor departed son whom they abandoned to the world of homelessness.  Black Lives Matter crawls out to demand justice as if the jury was wrong and the verdict was all wrong.  They know better, I guess ?   Their  name- Black Lives Matter- is a subtle insult to black people themselves and serves the Democrat/Marxists well in that it creates another mindset that dwells on victimhood.  "Whitey hates you and you need us to survive" should be it's tag line.  

     In contrast to Daniel Penny this week is the "alleged" murderer of the CEO of United Healthcare.  His name is Luigi Mangione who the left is touting as a "hunky" guy.  Liberal women are swooning his  good looks and his abs.  This disturbed young man who seems to have lost his mind over the last few months is celebrated by the MSM and late night talk-show hosts as if he's some sort of Robin Hood or social justice hero.  He shot a man in the back on the streets of New York !  A man who did nothing to him personally.  A man who had a family that loved him.  That family  is now watching all this on national TV being broadcast.  Their loved one was murdered and the man believed responsible has become a talking point of lust and social justice posturing for the left wing of our country.  Can you imagine being his child or his spouse ?  His parent- his mother and/or father ?  His brother or sister and then hearing commentary on how your beloved family member's killer is attractive and "had his reasons" for murdering ?   The MSM or legacy media, or whatever we're supposed to call them-  are subtly defending his actions as somehow "understandable" given the circumstances of the health-care system today.  I bring up the media's reaction to this guy because the mainstream media IS the Democrat/Marxist party.  They are one in the same.  Their groveling and grotesque comments regarding this guy who shot a man in the back on the streets of New York is such a clear picture of the two tales we have today regarding the Democrat party.  They have no morals.  They have no decency.  They are after power and the pleasures of the flesh to suit themselves and their epicurean lifestyles.  They are the epitome of deceit and mendacity and a nefarious philosophy.   They are demonic and despicable.

The Democrat Party - The Hub of Mendacity

 By CE Marshall

                                                                   Pants on Fire 

     This week the news is out that President Biden has pardoned his son from federal prosecution.  Not prosecution for what he has already been charged with,  but with ANYTHING that he may have done against federal law over the last 10 years.  This after Mr. President said repeatedly he would not pardon his son and after his press secretary said he would not pardon his son- over and over and over- "no he won't do that because he believes nobody is above the law".   Yesterday, he did that.   Actually, he did much more than that.  ANYTHING that he might have done is pardoned !  If that's not preferential treatment I don't know what is.  He IS above the law as it turns out. 

     The Democrat Party- the party of liars.  Neither I 'nor anyone with much intelligence is surprised by this but it still is such a blatant lie that it's hard for even his cheerleaders in the legacy press to ignore.  As all of you know, dear readers, the Legacy media aka Corporate Media, etc... are joined at the hip with the Democrat party and really have been for quite a while ( I would say going all the way back to Watergate when Nixon's sins were pursued where a Democrat that did the same thing would have been given a "pass".)  In this blog I have often lumped the Democrat party with the media and academia and Hollywood and big pharmaceutical, big food,  lobbyists,  etc....  as being "Mad King George",  drawing the parallel to King George of England during our revolution.  I think it might be more accurate to simply refer to them all as the Democrat Party because the Democrat party is the hub of the "spokes of mendacity" and corruption that is Washington, DC.  It wouldn't happen, these wheels would not turn without the Democrat party.  

     There needs to be a full investigation regarding all that Biden business dealings with the Ukraine and China.  Any government actions that gave preference to the Democrats over the Republicans whether through "lawfare" aka using the courts to prosecute political enemies or using government agencies to give preferential treatment to Democrats should be recognized and actions should be taken to remove these actors from power and perhaps put then in prison where they belong.  If it's bad enough, the Democrat party needs to be dissolved and a new left-wing party can rise and step into their shoes as a voice for people with such opinions- one that's leftist but still stands for America.  They are no longer a party for America, they are a party of deceitful elitists and the global establishment that use the government as a weapon against the people.   They are the problem..... In my humble opinion.

Is the Democrat Party Now a Cult ?

By CE Marshall

The Clintons Pose with Adolf Hitler (sarcasm!) 

Dear Loyal Reader,  

     Yes, I'm writing another blog critical of the Democratic party.  I regret picking on them as a group when they're already down,  but there's just so much material it's impossible to ignore.  Their behavior must be addressed and ridiculed lest it be seen as acceptable here at Marshall in the Middle.  We are adamant to have all voices heard, not just one opinion.  All  opinions !  There is not a "wrong" opinion.  A cult is the opposite, and all opinion in opposition to their opinion is seen as an existential threat.  

     The chatter these days is that the Democrat talking heads (CNN, MSNBC and most all heads of the Democratic party) have instructed their "followers" that it's "okay" to refuse to attend Thanksgiving dinner or even have a relationship "for a while" with their family.  Such a small minded, and juvenile reaction is what a cult would do.  According to "Psychology Today" in an article "Signs someone may be in a cult" this would be referred to as Isolating your members.  

They state: 

Isolation. The cult becomes too large to control and has to prevent influences from the outside world from weakening its power over members. The leaders ban acts of individual free will. The cult isolates its members from the world beyond, depicting the outside as corrupt, evil, and violent. This increases bonding as members see themselves as ‘threatened victims’. Language control and growing paranoia make questioning the cult impossible. Mantras and slogans silence doubts and dissent. Internal repression grows.

    I have friends who have close family members that refuse to even speak to them because of the election of Donald Trump.  These people exhibit all the symptoms of a person who has been brainwashed.  We are used to cults being weird groups that keep to themselves, however this is a cult on a grand scale that needs to be recognized for what it is and that it's tentacles reach into every corner of American power centers.  Isolation is not the answer in this situation.  Communication with each other becomes even more important than ever.  Consider the reaction from the Democrats if you suggest that Transgender surgery for minors is immoral and a form of mutilation and child abuse.  They lose their mind !   I have had my own experience with this.  In April when I posted an opinion piece published in the Christian Post titled "To This Decision We Leave Our Children" in which I was critical of  children being encouraged to change their sex if they should desire such a thing.  The fact that I have to even argue the point is absurd.   (Here is the link if the reader is interested.  Blog Regarding Transgender Children ) By the way, nothing in the modern world is more a cult than the transgender movement, which of course, the Democrat party is attached to at the hip.   I received quite a few very nasty comments regarding my opinion when that was published, and that's a Christian periodical !  

     Another trait mentioned in the same article of Psychology Today  is "Hate Bonding"

Hate Bonding. The cult reaches its size limit and problems arise from failures in its ‘plan for all.’ But the cult cannot admit errors. It starts to feed on hatred of the outside world. It evolves rituals of hatred, building a deeper ‘unity of the persecuted.’ One stratum of society is usually the target of all hatred and they might be given a coded name. Members are encouraged to share their hatred in ritualised forms.

     I think we all know the name that they "hate" and this hatred is beyond what could be considered normal.  In the 2024 election loss many Democrats were left foaming at the mouth and behaving like spoiled brats.  Grown adults behaving like 5- year old children screeching and crying and cutting their hair, and refusing to have sex (more a promise IMHO than a threat).  They are totally out of control !   Over 30% of Democrats polled before the election agreed that they "wish the assassin had gotten Donald Trump".  To me that is truly horrifying.  

One more:  (although if you review any list of "cult' traits you will see much of what the Democrat party has been exhibiting this past several years).  Traitors to the cause.  

Traitors. Afraid of the growing hate culture, some members question the leaders but they are thrown out or made to do penance. The contraction phase begins and leads to a clampdown on any freedoms within the cult. In the face of internal persecution, a senior member often leaves and becomes a ‘traitor.’ Gaslighting, peer pressure, and groupthink prevent others from leaving. A few are helped to leave the cult by family members or forced out by cult deprogrammers, but such acts only fuel the cult's conviction that it is under attack.

     Some of Donald Trump's closest friends are now sworn enemies - witness his past close relationship with Oprah Winfrey,  the  Clintons, and a very long list of celebrities that turned on Trump when he became a Republican.  They cannot handle someone expressing an opinion contrary to theirs.  Now RFK Jr. has supported Donald Trump and his famous family has denounced him.  They denounce him for having his own opinion.   That is childish.  That is narrow minded.  That is a cult.  In my humble opinion.

The Dark Bigotry of the Democratic Party

By CE Marshall  

 There’s something about being falsely accused of something that raises a person’s ire like nothing else.   I'm referring to the Democratic party and their lapdogs in the corporate media suggesting the American public is racist and sexist.  After hiding the dementia of Joe Biden and offering up a totally unqualified candidate for the Presidency, a woman who claimed to be black but is actually part Asian, who could not answer any substantive questions other than multiple choice questions form her cheerleaders in the MSM, then they have the audacity to blame the American people for their loss because we are racist and sexist.  It’s not just white men anymore either.  It turns out that Latinos- male and female-  are now racist also, and black men are misogynist.  They’re running out of categories of people !  So, they are scripting out the groups of people and their faults according to their skin tone, race and gender and blaming them for the loss of their miserable candidate because they, the Democrats, are judging Americans according to their race and gender.  What does that sound like ?  It sounds like bigotry.  This is the worst kind of hypocrite and bigot- the ones that go around accusing others of what they are.  The Democratic party needs to gaze into a mirror and observe that there, staring back at them, is the true bigot.
