“Perseverance accomplished what at first seemed impossible.”

Colonel Henry Knox; Continental Army; American Revolution

This quote from Colonel Knox was after General George Washington and the Continental Army crossed the Delaware River in icy and blizzard conditions.

In a few weeks, I am meeting our George Washington both at Valley Forge and at Washington Crossing. He will be in my Summer Ray film series. wwwthememoirsofsummerray.com.

I can only imagine what they went through to gain America’s independence. But it was achieved by “perseverance.” It is defined as, “persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success; resolution – a firm decision to do or not to do something; tenacity – the quality or fact of being able to grip something firmly; grip; intentional – done on purpose; deliberate.” The Continental Army faced much hardship during the Revolutionary War. But they persevered. I believe America today has been fighting against similar forces that have tried to remove our freedoms. The sad part, it was from America’s own government. But “perseverance accomplished what at first seemed impossible.” It was one hard fight after another. But had we not endured, America would have fallen. But Praise be to God, He did not allow that to happen. He gave us the strength to overcome!

America is on fire. I cannot watch Governor Newsom any longer. He acts like he is on drugs, namely cocaine. He is way too happy for an overseer of a state that is burning, and his constituents, some have sadly lost their lives, many more have lost their homes and memories. Yet, he is already planning to rebuild what, LA 2.0? https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/video/gov-newsom-says-he-s-organizing-a-marshall-plan-to-reimagine-l-a-2-0-after-wildfires-229081157656. What is with all of his hand gestures. He acts like he is on Broadway doing a play. It is disgusting. Was all of this deliberate? Was Maui deliberate? What is up with the blue things not burning? I do not have the answers. I can only speculate that by his behavior, the behavior of the mayor and the absolute negligence on their parts, it was all perhaps planned. Because you know, as he said, this is “a time for Biden to shine“! Say what? He is out of office in a matter of days and yet, it is his time to shine? It is a time for “our country to shine“? I will say this again, Congress, get Newsom in for questioning! America was shining bright before you and the O’Biden Administration came along. Yet, you all turned it in to a cesspool of waste, filth, greed, destruction and death! Oh, but it is time for Y’all to shine?

On January 20th, it will be a glorious day for America. This is a true testament of God’s love for this country. America, we persevered! We got our country back from the hands of those who sought to destroy it. The bar has been raised so low that anyone can just walk across it to success. This is actually quite pathetic. Standards have been lowered and people are suffering because of it. Food quality, medical care, the list goes on and on. Do you want a pilot, who is untrained because she is a stewardess, flying you and what you hold so dear? Quality has been preplaced with inclusive bullshit. Because we had to be politically correct. What did that fire chief say? Something to the effect that is she cannot carry a man out of a fire, that he was in the wrong place? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1uVOvjQi5Y! I could care less what you look like. Can you perform your duties that you were given the job to do? This is exactly what I am talking about.

“Diversity, equity and inclusion is a term used to describe policies and programs that promote the representation and participation of different groups of individuals. DEI encompasses people of different ages, races, ethnicities, abilities, disabilities, genders, religions, cultures and sexual orientations.“

I am sorry. But can you do your job correctly so that other lives are not at risk? Do I have to hire someone that is not qualified of the LGBTQt community or you charge me with discrimination and hate crimes? This is why so many businesses are going out of business. But to blatantly say that a man would be in the wrong place if that fire chief had to carry him out of a fire, is absolute disregard for the oath that she took as a firefighter. Oops my bad, an affirmation!

The firefighter oath is a pledge to uphold the law, protect the public, and perform one’s duties with honesty and integrity. It’s a lifelong commitment that firefighters take to serve their community.

I find it interesting that the LA Fire Department changed their “oath” to an “affirmation.” http://ens.lacity.org/lafd/lafdreportarchv/lafdlafdreport1864136324_11192019.pdf

“The LAFD motto of “Serving with Courage, Integrity and Pride” will continue for many years to come.”

She needs to be fired immediately along with her sleezy governor! We must raise the standards again in our beautiful America. Thank You, God, for President Trump and Vice President Vance and all those in their administration. Truly, it is a glorious time to rise from the pits of Hell that America has fallen to. We can begin to rise out of the ashes, and some literally. I pray Father God, for every person affected by the floods, the fires and so on that they be restored. I pray that those who voted for Newsom that they have seen the light of his dark and demonic mind, and will stand with President Trump and not be a burden to his administration!

Father God, I ask that You protect President Trump and all who are attending his inauguration. Evil still lurks its ugly head in this country, due to the outgoing administration. I thank You, Father God that they did not succeed in taking him out. But Trump and all who are with him, still needs our prayers.

In Jesus Name, Amen.
