What kind of power do you think can be wielded over Trump when he is demonstrating RIGHT NOW to Americans that he will allow a fear of what others will think of him--if he were to speak the TRUTH about the vaccines--to compel him to stay silent when he should be speaking up to warn people to stop taking the harmful shots? A man who would modulate his speech out of a fear of the consequences of speaking the truth is not a man who can be trusted to protect us. We would be fools to trust Trump’s judgment to do the right thing in the future because he isn’t doing the right thing NOW. Why is it that so many Trump supporters will accept as the gospel truth that Trump is "in charge" right now and that he has some sort of a plan that we should all just blindly trust, but those same people won't for one second entertain the concerns which I raise as being even remotely possible? I don't pretend to have all of the answers, but I do have a lot of questions. History will be the judge of all of us, and when people someday look back at how it was that our great nation was brought to ruin (for I fear that is where we are headed), I don't want to be among those whom are recognized as having been the "useful idiots." https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/trump-is-compromised https://rumble.com/v2oguk2-think-trump-is-the-wall-between-us-and-them-think-again..html https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/there-should-be-more-discussions-about-this-so-why-aren-t-there https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/will-our-nation-ever-acknowledge-the-biggest-lie-of-all https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/imagine-where-we-might-be-if-trump-had-modeled-resistance-instead-of-submission https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/why-has-trump-not-called-out-the-dangerous-propaganda-targeting-conservatives https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/can-you-answer-these-questions https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/where-we-were-a-year-ago-and-where-we-are-now https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/the-vaccines-are-trump-s-achilles-heel

What result do parents often get when they try harder to be friends with their kids instead of being their disciplinarian? The outcome of such an approach is often that you run the risk of ending up with rotten kids who do not respect you. Our government is no different, and it is our responsibility to be good stewards of our government. We seem to have forgotten that. I was planning on keeping my thoughts to myself this legislative session, but I have been asked whether or not I was planning to attend the rally at the capitol for the Final Reading of LB 574. I won't be there. I share my commentary regarding that here in this video. As stated in the video, I've not dug deeply into the text of this bill, but have only followed it in summaries of legislative activity in the Unicameral Update. So some of my commentary is specific to information gleaned from that. Anyway, I explain here why I have not been involved in legislative activity this year (with the exception of having submitted some letters to the record on some bills which document the predictions that I speak of in the video). I also explain why I have concerns about the way that the transgender issue is being addressed--not just in our state, but in our nation. I believe we need to stop outsourcing the protection of our freedom, our rights, AND our children to the government. And if that means that we have to put up a different kind of fight, then, by God, that is what we should do. As the left likes to say, "By Any Means Necessary." That's how you protect your kids. Not through compromise, and certainly not by ignoring what the real root of the problem is. We should be every bit as unwilling to permit the government to regulate our children as we are about letting them regulate our guns. Be careful what you ask for. https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/commentary-on-lb-574-let-them-grow-act

Kennedy is more conservative than many elected Republicans. As I said in the video, I don't know who I will vote for, but conservatives do need to be more honest in their assessment of Trump. I not only welcome anyone to fact check me on the concerns that I have, but I encourage it. Many seem to have forgotten how damning Trump's own words regarding his role in the development of the vaccines are. But I don't think Trump has forgotten. I think he knows that the vaccines are his Achilles' heel. Why else would he have shifted from insisting that HE be the one who should receive all the credit for the shots, to going dead silent when it all went south--as many predicted it would. Trump wanted all of the credit and none of the accountability, it seems, for the right thing for him to do now would be to SPEAK UP about the harms being caused by the shots and to now recommend that people STOP taking them. People should truly be alarmed that he hasn't done that. The shots are still being pushed on children. Doctors across our country are still at risk for speaking the truth about the virus and the shots. Advantages and incentives are still being given to those who submit to the shots and disadvantages and hardships are befalling those who reject the shots. That hasn't ended, and yet, so many people tell me that we should just "move on" from all of this. It clearly isn't behind us, though, and as so many rights have been trampled upon in the push to get everyone vaccinated, people should think twice about whether or not our nation would be safe with Trump once more "calling the shots." Why should we trust Trump to do the right thing if reelected when he isn't doing the right thing NOW by speaking out against this continued violation of people's rights? https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/trump-is-compromised

"You are fake news!" Conservatives, myself included, applaud Trump when he calls out the fact that the mainstream media is full of lies and intentions to mislead. But what about the propaganda narratives targeted to conservatives that have become so deeply rooted in our nation? Why has Trump never spoken out about the deceitful narratives that have kept Americans complacent by convincing them that Trump was "in control?" The messages being put out by such propaganda are dangerous to our nation; yet, instead of warning conservatives that they are being led astray by such narratives, Trump has often even encouraged people to buy into them. Is it because he is the hero of those fictions? Many are putting their trust in a guy who they have cheered on for calling out the fake news of the mainstream media, when the same guy hasn’t uttered a peep about the dangerous propaganda that has deceived so many into believing for the past 2+ years that he had some sort of a plan that they should trust. (And if he does have a plan, then it's a HORRIBLE one.) Conservatives who have been paying attention should be calling upon Trump to explain why it is that he has never warned conservatives about the globalist/communist Q-related propaganda that they are the target audience of. A lot of the narratives have taken hold in some rather terrifying ways. Technocrat globalists (like Yuval Noah Harari) told us outright that nations could be defeated through technology/social media. The databases of collected information that they have on people allows them to know exactly what people want to hear, and those Q-related propaganda sources (which sound like China and Russia might be behind them) are very effective at getting many conservatives to believe them. In difficult times, the comfort of a lie is often preferable to having to face the harsh reality of the truth. I have lost friendships because I have attempted to show to others the proof that those sources are full of deceit. Indeed, they are quite often blasphemous as well. People who are following any sources referencing Q are being taken in. And I know many people personally who have been. I was sent a video the other day put out by some “SGAnon” (not the first time people I know have forwarded me his videos), and I was appalled to hear him say that, in order to right the wrongs of history, Ukraine, Baltic States, and portions of Finland will soon be returned to Russia, AND that Taiwan will be reunited with China. What the hell? Messaging which conditions people to become more comfortable with globalist and communist ideas are parading around disguised as "MAGA." And it's working. So many conservatives will choose to shun those who don't buy into the propaganda before they will ever abandon those stories that bring them comfort. Believe me. I know what a pariah one is made to be for speaking out against the propaganda. But I guarantee you that those ideas don't have a damn thing to do with "Making America Great Again." I am alarmed that so many conservatives have been consuming this propaganda like gangbusters. I know they are, because I keep encountering from so many the same talking point “defenses” of Trump which are straight out of the propaganda sources. Remember those videos of everyone in the mainstream media parroting the exact same lines, word-for-word, and in chorus? You could make the exact same type of video of conservatives now, for so many are parroting propaganda talking points that have taken hold. And, just as it is with the mainstream media, what they are parroting is a distortion of the truth. It’s all being done so effectively, for there are multiple sources for the propaganda, and many of them have been legitimatized by having gained some advertising and interviews with people that conservatives trust. It says a lot about where we are when so many conservatives are following messaging which is conditioning people to accept the idea that Taiwan should be reunited with China. That same video also conditions people to accept the idea of provisional military control for half a year or so. But, hey, it’s all gonna be for your own good! I wouldn't worry about any of this propaganda if I didn't personally know so many who follow it and believe it as gospel truth. (As I said, I've lost many friendships for speaking out against it.) If we WERE to be told that we were going to have to accept some sort of global military control, I personally know people who would cheer it! They would say, "Yes! It's finally happening!" People are being led like sheep to slaughter, and they don’t even realize it. So I’ll ask again—why has Trump not called out the dangerous propaganda that has led so many to believe in this globalist/communist-flavored plan that they should trust? https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/why-has-trump-not-called-out-the-dangerous-propaganda-targeting-conservatives

Ignoring the truth leads to a forgetting of what the truth ever was. That is a very dangerous thing. "Never knowingly support lies!" Here is the link to the reading of "Live Not by Lies:" https://youtu.be/SyPY7d208lk Here is the link to The Gateway Pundit article that I referenced about Fauci: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/03/lies-fauci-said-pushing-coronavirus-vaccine-jan-2020-month-shot-covid-19-not-major-threat-video/ And here is the link to another article from The Gateway Pundit which I also had intended to reference in this video and either forgot to or it got edited out. (But I think I forgot! See how easy it is to forget?) But it underscores the point of the timeline of things that I speak of in the video with regard to Trump's February 2020 claims that we were "very close to vaccine" for coronavirus. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/02/trump-says-u-s-very-close-to-creating-coronavirus-vaccine/ https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/the-day-when-our-thoughts-can-be-read-and-our-genes-altered-live-not-by-lies

I want to make a correction to something I said from memory in this video. I referenced an interview with Trump in which he said that when he was POTUS, "everyone" wanted to get the vaccine. The particular video I had in mind was not from March 2021 (as I stated in this video), but was from October 2021. It in no way changes the point I was trying to make (and it might even underscore it). I've previously posted about that interview, and you can see my commentary on that here: https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/trump-phobic-rant-2. https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/i-hope-everyone-remembers

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/02/dr-naomi-wolf/ https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/the-elephant-in-the-room-that-no-one-wants-to-talk-about

I will be honest. I have a hard time getting into the tribal politics that have been center stage of late. Why? Because the same shit has been going on for YEARS and YEARS now. Known corruption continues to go unanswered. Our two-tiered legal system is never going to deliver any true justice. I learned that a long time ago. And our politicians continue to make fools of us on the daily by lying directly to us and watching us lap up the entertainment of their shenanigans. Both sides of the aisle are doing it, and as long as they can keep you distracted by the spectacle of it all and keep you cheering on YOUR team (and don't forget the merch), then the game will continue. The real losers in that game are US, though. At what point are we going to stop clutching at pearls in pretend shock about the corruption (whether it has to do with election fraud or Hunter Biden's laptop--both issues that have been ongoing for YEARS now) and start seriously expecting some accountability? I fear that many, both inside and outside of our government, have become addicted to the soap opera of it all. A lot of people are profiting from that sort of entertainment and would see their cash cow dry up if the narrative switched to a more productive one of actually seeking the full truth of things. Scandal is what sells and keeps people tuned in. If you are someone who genuinely cares more about the direction of our country than you do about making sure that your political team "wins," then you need to get honest with yourself and stop playing the game. We need to create a demand for the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth to be front and center instead.

This really isn't about Trump. It's about US. It's about the failure of our nation to acknowledge the truth. https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/hard-questions-for-trump-and-trump-supporters https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/the-day-when-our-thoughts-can-be-read-and-our-genes-altered-live-not-by-lies https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/why-did-trump-shut-down-our-country-and-put-taxpayer-toward-a-vaccine-when-he-knew-the-fatality-rate-of-covid-19-was-so-low

In this video, I show more reasons for why you should not trust the popular Q/QAnon-type sources that are out there. Why does Trump, who used to call out the "fake news" of the mainstream media, now turn a blind eye to "fake news" sources from Q/QAnon? Those sources can be debunked as easily as the news from mainstream media sources--IF people actually bother to fact check them. Fake news harms us, no matter who is doing it, and Trump should not be promoting fake news himself, simply because he is made the hero of those stories. I will say that it is of great concern to me that so many Trump supporters have bought into propaganda narratives that paint Trump as a savior or a "chosen one" or the "anointed one" whose actions must not be questioned. Those who cannot question the actions of those in their government are not free people. I remember when I was a kid in school and was shown pictures of what took place during the Holocaust, I thought, "How could such a thing have ever happened?" Now I know, from watching it happen right in front of me and to people I know, just how easy it is for people to be convinced to justify evil and wrongdoing. It is amazing to me that some, who bring up the Nuremberg trial in their calls for accountability from those who are responsible for the COVID-19 vaccine, insist upon excusing Trump's part in it. I know some would credit Trump as being the one who exposed the "COVID Cartel," but such a claim defies all reason to me; and such "exposure" certainly cannot be equated to the locating and gathering of film footage of crimes already committed. Such narratives that paint Trump as a hero in all of this depend upon Trump taking part in the wrongdoing in order to produce (not expose) the evidence they claim is needed. Before Trump fast-tracked the development of the COVID-19 vaccines, no one was ever at risk from death, injury, disease, or possible sterility from a COVID vaccine. Sure, he never mandated it, but he also claims that there would be no COVID vaccine at all if not for him. The "badness" of Biden does not mean the "goodness" of Trump. Biden pulled the trigger on the weapon that Trump handed him. To argue that Trump "had no choice" makes about as much sense as saying that Otto Ohlendorf should have met a different fate following the testimony he gave at the Nuremberg trial. He was hanged. I fear we have become an ethically compromised nation of people who can no longer discern right from wrong. Trump can't fix this. Only a return of our nation back to a trust in God is going to fix this. We live in fear and not in faith, and we put our trust in those who we look to to secure our temporary human comforts. We have abandoned concerns for our souls, it seems. A lot of the Q/QAnon narratives create more of a reliance upon those telling the story than a reliance on God. God is sometimes mentioned by these people, but it never rings true to me as anything other than blasphemy. I believe that God is the Light and the Truth and that God is never obscured from those who ask, seek, and knock. This is why the messages that we are all part of a "scripted movie” never ring true to me. They are messages that are meant to create a dependency upon authors who remain obscured to us, but whose script for us we are told we should accept. We should not look to man for our script, but to God--who gives us the awesome power of choice. That choice--our free will--is the reflection of God’s image in us and I think we would be wise to embrace that power and to use it wisely. It is a great power which God has given us, and with it comes great responsibility. One day we will all be made to answer for what we chose to do with that power. Here are some questions that, if I had the opportunity to sit down and interview President Trump, I would be asking. I think these are good questions to put to him, given that he is once more asking us to trust him to hold the highest job in our country. Q: Why did Trump, after resisting wearing a mask for so long in 2020, finally succumb and put one on in July of that year and send the message to Americans that wearing a mask was the "patriotic" thing to do? This was the moment that I really started to lose faith in Trump's judgment, for the example that he set to Americans when he chose to do that was one of submission to social control rather than resistance to it. That is the point that I began to truly worry that Trump, for whatever reason--and I do not pretend to know what motivates his actions--was not going to be the person to stop us from barreling right into the kind of government which he has promised to protect us from. I don't know his motives or his "heart," but I do know that there are decisions that he made which very much make me question his judgment. So this is a question that I would like for Trump to answer. Why did he put on the mask and claim it was the "patriotic" thing to do? Q: Why, after so many Americans had traveled to our nation's capitol on January 6 to try to make their voices heard after feeling robbed of their voices in the November 2020 election, did Trump tell everyone to go home. If America was to be "Great Again," then why abandon the principle that our government is supposed to be of, by, and for the people? Trump could have--and I believe should have--rallied the people to know their rightful place in government and reminded them that our government is that to which we give our consent. Some will surely say, "Oh, but he couldn't have! "They" never would have let him." But those who make such an argument are arguing for a submission to tyranny and have forgotten what our "Declaration of Independence" says. A fighter would have fought and a leader would have led. Trump did neither then, and so I would like an explanation from him as to why he did not. I think that, given the circumstances we are now in BECAUSE we didn't push back against tyranny when we should have (with regard to both the election fraud and the masks), we should be demanding that any candidate for POTUS demonstrate to us that he or she is up to the task of being both a fighter and a leader. Q: Why did Trump shut down our country and divert trillions of dollars of government funding (that comes from us and future generations) to COVID-19 "relief" and to the fast-tracking of an experimental vaccine for a virus that he himself clamed in February 2020 had a VERY low fatality rate and posed no huge threat? I would like Trump to answer that. I also would like for him to explain why it is that he said in February 2020--even when he was saying that the virus posed no real threat--that we were "very close to a vaccine" even at that time. And I would also like for Trump to explain why, if he knew that the virus had such a low fatality rate when he spoke of it in February 2020, that he changed his story and, even to this day, is telling us something else--that it was HIS vaccine (he insists that he be credited for that "beautiful shot") that has saved millions and millions of lives. That simply isn't true, and I would like to ask Trump why it is that he continues to tell us that it is. https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/why-did-trump-shut-down-our-country-and-put-taxpayer-toward-a-vaccine-when-he-knew-the-fatality-rate-of-covid-19-was-so-low Q: Why did Trump say that the COVID boosters were a "moneymaking operation"--and then later get the booster shot? That is another question I would ask Trump. https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/trump-said-boosters-were-a-moneymaking-operation-and-then-he-got-boosted-wtf https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/dispelling-a-myth https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/why-did-trump-shut-down-our-country-and-put-taxpayer-toward-a-vaccine-when-he-knew-the-fatality-rate-of-covid-19-was-so-low https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/trump-said-boosters-were-a-moneymaking-operation-and-then-he-got-boosted-wtf

I first saw this story in a Q/QAnon type of video. I knew as soon as I saw it that they had their facts mixed up, but what bothers me is that the myth being pushed in the propaganda video that I saw has taken hold and is getting shared elsewhere. I was surprised to see it show up in my email inbox from Lifesite News as well. So since so many people seem to believe that the story that COVID-19 vaccines don't prevent infection is shocking and current news, I wanted to remind people that this actually isn't current news at all. There is a real danger in the forgetting of history and the things that we once knew. We need to be ever mindful of that. Remembering our history helps protect us from being vulnerable to someone else's rewriting of how things occurred.

This video is meant to share with people some questions that I have that I think Trump should be answering--especially if he is asking us to entrust him to be the decision-maker for our country once more. Listen to the things that Trump says in this August 2021 interview and then decide for yourself if you don't share some of the same concerns that I have about his judgment. https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/why-did-trump-shut-down-our-country-and-put-taxpayer-toward-a-vaccine-when-he-knew-the-fatality-rate-of-covid-19-was-so-low

You may ask about the coronavirus, which is very well under control in our country." "The people are getting better. They're all getting better." "There is a very good chance that you're not going to die. It's just the opposite. You're talking about one or two percent; whereas in the other case [ebola], it was a virtual hundred percent." "They have studied it [coronavirus], they know very much. In fact, we are very close to a vaccine." This is from a press conference that Trump spoke at in India in February 2020. I will never claim, as many others do, to know what thoughts or feelings guided Trump's actions throughout the plandemic. I can only speculate and draw conclusions based upon what I know. Trump usually says that is is HE who deserves credit for the COVID-19 vaccines, but he has at times said that "we" did this. In a way, he is right. Where do you think the billions of dollars that were given to vaccine manufacturers to fast-track that vaccine came from? And do you think that the trillions spent on stimulus to address our country's shutdown was "free money?" No. Just as it is with our elections, our government screwed us over and then sent us the bill. Though we were never asked, that was our part in it, as was our willingness to go along with the things our government was asking us to do that just never made good sense Was Trump's response to the plandemic justified? In February 2020, the taxpayer money to vaccine companies hadn't really started flowing yet, BUT we know that the plan for a COVID-19 virus was in the works and that some of our taxpayer dollars were already going toward the development of a COVID-19 vaccine. As I said, I cannot pretend to know things I don't or to know Trump's thoughts and feelings on any of this. But I do have a lot of questions, and I think I'm not the only one who does. Was Trump just getting ahead of his skis when he blurted out in this February 2020 press conference that we were "very close to a vaccine?" What we do know is that a vaccine was being discussed by Trump and Fauci at least as early as 2020. There is evidence of that. Trump said that at that time the virus was essentially nothing to worry about, but also that a vaccine for it was under way. At the time of this press conference, Trump speaks of only a couple billion that had been put toward addressing the coronavirus--which he acknowledges is not a real threat. But a couple of billion wouldn't have gotten us to the point of being "very close to a vaccine," so that comment from Trump might have been hyperbole. I don't know. But I do know that Trump said that in February 2020, government funding was starting to be put toward a COVID-19 vaccine, and we know that Fauci has stated that the decision to make a coronavirus vaccine was made on January 10, 2020. By May 2020, when Trump announced Operation Warp Speed, we had already "flattened the curve." For one brief blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, people started cautiously going out again and being less afraid. And then BAM! Mask mandates, social distancing, and plexiglass barriers arrived on the scene. Those actually came AFTER the "flattening of the curve." And Trump, who had previously been ridiculed by the media for not wearing a mask CAVED and wore one publicly around July 2020. And THEN, probably to cover for the embarrassment of the well-earned shaming Trump received for finally caving to the mask, the Trump administration started putting out the messaging that wearing a mask was the "patriotic" thing to do. No--it was the idiotic thing to do! So why has Trump not been honest with us? No one is perfect. I get that. And we all make mistakes. Some mistakes are bigger than others. Trump is not the only one responsible, that's for sure. Every elected official who went along with the plandemic shutdown bears some responsibility as well for failing to speak the truth. But as POTUS, the buck stopped with Trump The true test of integrity of a person is whether or not that person will own his or her actions. Trump wants to be selective when it comes to which credit or blame gets assigned to him. That is not integrity. If Trump truly cares about Making America Great Again, then he will tell us all the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. He hasn't done that yet. The full press conference can be viewed at the link below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RFEgoqysvU&t=1s https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/in-the-true-story-of-trump-and-the-vaccines-you-cannot-separate-the-hero-from-the-tragedy

Here's another provocation of thought that will no doubt trigger some conservatives. So be it. The title of my video is obviously meant to be tongue-in-cheek. But I'm not kidding when I say that I would not be surprised if "Trump-phobia" began trending. I can remember when conservatives used to make fun of those on the left who equate the word "phobia" with the word "hate," and who--because they do not want to engage in an actual conversation--will hurl such insults at a person and then run away. Sadly, this is what many Trump supporters have begun to resort to as well. I haven't actually been called "Trump-phobic" yet, but I have many times of late been met with the equivalent label of being a "Trump hater." I'm not. But, as I have always said, running for office is a job interview, and if Trump is applying once again for the job of POTUS, then it is reasonable and right for us to interview the man and expect some answers from him. That's what I'm doing, because I think it is the smart and responsible thing for voters to do--no matter who the candidate is. https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/trump-phobic-rant-1 https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/trump-phobic-rant-2 https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/trump-phobic-rant-3

It is unfortunate that so many great achievements have been erased. But he was dead wrong about the vaccines. I recently rewatched Trump's "Farewell Address." Watching that video again now and hearing Trump describe himself as someone who would look at a skyline and see the towering possibilities, it makes me think that those around him with ill intent may have used his large ego against him. In speaking about the vaccines, he said, "They said it couldn't be done," and he referred to it as a "medical miracle." Well, he said that's what "they" were calling it. But that statement alone would indicate that Trump was selective in hearing only praise for himself, because the "they" who were calling the vaccines a "miracle" were not coming from his base of supporters. Unlike the propaganda fictions that pretend to know Trump's every thought and motivation, I can only speculate why he did what he did when he decided to put his own name at the helm of such a deadly experiment. I never had a problem with Trump's ego in the past because, as my daddy always said, "it ain't braggin' if it's true." But with regard to Trump's boasting about the vaccines, it WASN'T true. Actually, in fact, Trump went along with perpetuating the lie of the plandemic, for the truth about it--which many Americans knew and which an observant and cautious president should have known as well--was that the virus had a fatality rate of less than half of one percent for the majority of the people and that a rushed experimental vaccine was not necessary. I can only guess (and hope, for other explanations would involve him being in on it as well) that Trump was defeated by his own ego. I can imagine a scenario in which Trump's ego was stroked by those who might have convinced him that his own name could be forever attached in large letters to a "medical miracle." As Trump says of himself, it was his nature to take on "towering" projects, and we all know from our own observations that it was also his nature to put his name in large letters on those "towers." I think that might be what he hoped to do with the vaccine, and his focus in this speech on the economy probably also factored in to why it is that he lost sight of the big picture and could no longer see that the plandemic was NOT what we were all being told by the "experts" that it was. So many others knew it long before Trump--and to be honest, Trump STILL perpetuates the plandemic lie when he has failed to speak honestly about the true fatality rate of COVID-19 during his presidency. The fact is that I was a die-hard "Trumpette," but I love my kids and my country more than I love Trump, and I owe it to my kids and future grandkids to do whatever I can to ensure that whoever gets my vote in the future for the highest office in our nation is a person with the best judgment (assuming that our votes will even count in 2024). Running for office is a job interview, and Trump is not exempt from the interview process. We would be fools to think we should hire him back for the job without questioning him thoroughly on the concerns I just raised, which I know are shared by others as well. Trump himself should understand that--unless he lets his ego get in the way. I remember him saying at a rally one time when the mic or sound was no good that they should not pay the guy who set it up. Such a statement indicates that Trump himself knows that shoddy work should not be rewarded. That doesn't mean the guy who set up the mic isn't great at his job, but it does mean that he screwed up BIGLY when it mattered most, and things like that cannot go unanswered. If the sound guy kept his job, he probably had some explaining to do first. It is entirely reasonable to expect Trump to do some explaining as well, if he wishes to again hold the job of POTUS. The title of my video is obviously meant to be tongue-in-cheek. But I'm not kidding when I say that I would not be surprised if "Trump-phobia" began trending. I can remember when conservatives used to make fun of those on the left who equate the word "phobia" with the word "hate," and who--because they do not want to engage in an actual conversation--will hurl such insults at a person and then run away. Sadly, this is what many Trump supporters have begun to resort to as well. I haven't actually been called "Trump-phobic" yet, but I have many times of late been met with the equivalent label of being a "Trump hater." I'm not. But if Trump is applying once again for the job of POTUS, then it is reasonable and right for us to interview the man and expect some answers from him. That's what I'm doing, because I think it is the smart and responsible thing for voters to do--no matter who the candidate is. https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/trump-phobic-rant-1 https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/trump-phobic-rant-2

This is not how you "Make America Great Again." We need honesty and transparency. This is not it. I have to say that I'm supremely disappointed that some conservatives have reached out to me to ask me, in essence, to "please shut up." The argument is always the same from each of them--that Trump is our only hope (for who else will save us?), and that any criticism of him only benefits Democrats. Frankly, I'm sick to death of that argument. If we want elected officials who truly work for the people, then we have to stop making excuses for them when we shouldn't and we have to stop lowering the bar. If Trump does prove to be the only option that conservatives have, then we owe it to ourselves to at least do our part to make him the best candidate possible by demanding that he be more honest with us than he has been at times in the past. So the title of my video is obviously meant to be tongue-in-cheek. But I'm not kidding when I say that I would not be surprised if "Trump-phobia" began trending.

I would have liked to have stayed to give public comment on other proposed rule changes as well, but my schedule would not allow for it. There were, I think, 55 rule changes that they went through, one by one. I was fortunate that the one I most wanted to speak to was early in the list. It was the one that Senator Hunt proposed to get rid of the opening prayer in the legislature. Boy, I wish I had more than two minutes to speak! (And I actually think they cut my time a bit short!) I don't think that our legislature will actually get rid of the opening prayer, but I do think they ALL (on both sides of the aisle) have forgotten why they pray there. I have been told by some that I should not criticize Republicans, with the explanation being that we should not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. But a failure to hold corruption accountable cheapens the good and robs it of its meaning. https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/for-the-perfect-not-to-be-the-enemy-of-the-good-the-good-still-has-to-mean-something

Many have gotten to the point where they trust Trump more than they trust themselves. That puts us in a dangerous place of not being able to discern the truth for ourselves. People who think for themselves should be able to see that the information below from the website stopworldcontrol.com is pure propaganda. The most effective propaganda is equal parts truth and lies. It defies reason to think that narratives such as the one below (which is extremely widespread, I'm afraid to say) are anything more than the fiction of those pushing a globalist agenda. Websites and videos have been widely shared for a long time among hopeful conservatives who believe a narrative which tells us that Trump is in charge. A lot of the fiction repeats what is in the image shared above, and that one website is but one of many which has been used to convince people to suspend their disbelief and accept the idea that Trump is in charge of everything right now. There are a multitude of places online where such stories may be found. You can read here where I've commented previously about how these brainwashers are using the exact same tactics used by groomers and abusers to control people: https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/this-is-how-groomers-and-abusers-speak If those fantastical stories are to be believed, then Trump is not only in control our own country from the shadows, but he is in control of events on a global scale. As I've often tried to warn people, be careful what it is that you ask for and that you hope to be true. If Trump is truly in charge, then he has a hell of a lot of explaining to do.

Easier to read commentary can be read on my website at the link below. Not sure why Rumble isn't letting me format the text here with spacing anymore. https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/is-trump-still-deserving-of-your-support I suppose today is as good a day as any to kick the hornets' nest, but with Trump putting himself out there as a candidate for 2024, then this is a question that those who have supported Trump in the past are going to have to ask themselves. Is Trump still deserving of your support? This video was made by J-6 political prisoner Jeremy Brown a few months back, when he was running for Congress from his jail cell in Florida. At the time this video was made, I think Brown had been jailed without a trial for over 400 days. Since that time, Brown has gone to trial, been found guilty, and is awaiting sentencing. This man was set up by our government for his willingness to expose the wrongdoing within it. When he would not join them in their corruption, they planted evidence of him and targeted him for punishment. Sure, there are some who will say, "But he admitted that the sawed-off shotgun was his!" Yes, and that gun was seized from where it was stored on his property when his home was raided (and evidence was planted against him), NOT from his person--and it was a family heirloom with a very sad history, for as I understand it, it was the gun that his brother used to take his own life. Some might also say that Julian Assange (whom Trump refused to pardon) is getting what he deserves as well. Well, let me tell you something, there is nothing "just" about how Assange or Brown--or many others who have been persecuted for telling the TRUTH--have been treated. Any crimes that they may have been guilty of, any wrongdoing that they might have done, they have paid the price for many times over. The saddest thing is that these two men will never get back what they lost. The days past can never be restored to them, and even if they were each granted their freedom this very day, their path forward would be one in which each of them would have to constantly be watching their backs. Trump did not do what he could have for Assange before he left office, and since that time, he has failed to do all that he should have done to support those people who are imprisoned by our government because they showed up to our nation's capitol on January 6, 2021, to support HIM and his message of Keeping America Great. Trump has allowed himself to become a politician. I did not support him from the very beginning. I preferred other candidates in the 2016 primary, but when Trump became the Republican candidate, I voted for him and he quickly won me over. But the man that I came to love as president is not the same man who is asking for my vote in 2024. The man that I supported in 2016 was the man who was well-known for telling people, "You're fired." He was a man who was famous around the world for entertaining people with a television show in which a job that was not well done was not rewarded. That guy knew how to show people the door when it was necessary to do so. And it's what a good business man does in order to protect his business. It isn't mean. It's just smart. But that guy is gone. I'm not sure what happened to him, but I'm done making excuses for his failures to live up to what he once was. I don't expect perfection either. Any good politician (if such still exists) must be one who is willing to risk failure, for that is a possibility anytime action is taken to try to solve a problem. The "good ones" have guts. They have a spine and a backbone. Most politicians are too cowardly to even try to fix things. (Though the problem runs much deeper than even that.) A good politician must also be willing to stand and answer for the actions he or she took. Trump has failed in that regard. Trump has made some mistakes that he should be willing to answer for before he asks the American people again to entrust him with their vote. As President, Trump was a spender. That is just a fact. Given that I was happy with other things he was doing, I was willing to trust Trump's decisions to spend as he did. I made excuses for him when others would criticize it. If he had a plan to excuse such spending, then he threw it all right out the window when he failed to fight like hell to keep our country (and the debt which he had accrued) from falling into the hands of tyrants. I think it was irresponsible for him to have spent the way that he did and then NOT to have fought harder to ensure that it was not all done in vain. (Because, surely, he had a plan, right?) But instead of using his voice and his influence with the people to rally them to action (God knows the Democrats would have!), Trump told everyone on January 6 to go home. And then he disappeared for a while. What the hell? Where was the fighter that I once adored--whose image was on my fridge magnets and whose name was on my socks? (I really was a fan.) The good no longer outweighs the bad, and as I have watched and eagerly hoped to see some glimpse of a return of the fighter who I supported in the past, all I see now is a man who has lost sight of why he was so loved by the people in the first place. It was because he WASN'T a stereotypical politician. But he has become one. My hope that I would see him return to being more in tune with "we the people" than with politicians has been eradicated by Trump's failure to recognize a real opportunity for a historical MAGA moment. Despite calls from so many Americans--many who, like myself, have been strong supporters of Trump in the past--for someone other than swamp rat Kevin McCarthy to become the next Speaker of the House, Trump behaved as a politician would and told us that we should accept what he was serving up to us and that we should like it. People became conditioned to trust Trump because many of the things which he has done in the past did benefit us. But his judgment has slipped and I no longer trust him to make sound leadership decisions. The only way that Trump could earn back my trust now is if he finally begins to embrace accountability. My conditions for giving Trump my vote are very much in line with those which Brown mentions in the above video. It is all rooted in ACCOUNTABILITY. Trump SHOULD acknowledge that he made many errors during the COVID-19 response. He did not fire Fauci. And, short of that, he did not bring in other voices who could have countered the narrative of the plandemic. The closest thing we got to any real pushback was found in Dr. Atlas, but his time there was brief. There were many other (and stronger) qualified voices which were never allowed to be heard. (And some of those doctors who spoke up have become political prisoners of our government as well.) He called himself the "father" of the COVID-19 vaccines. Anyone who claims that title must own the consequences of what it means. Many mistakes were made which need to be acknowledged, and just as God does not automatically bestow forgiveness upon anyone--it must be sought--Trump should seek forgiveness for the mistakes that he has made as well. He should not take us for granted. I should have heeded the warning signs which did indeed raise an eyebrow. Trump got elected on chants of "lock her up," and many believed that he would hold Hillary Clinton accountable once he was elected. The link below offers a good summary of what happened instead. He didn't "lock her up." He "let her go." Imagine what the trajectory of history might have been if he hadn't. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/22/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-investigation-jail-dropped Consider that so many of the good things which Trump has done are things which have effectively been undone. Trump's many accomplishments have been erased--and so quickly--by many who might not have held the power to do so if Trump had followed through on his promise of accountability with regard to Hillary Clinton. (Allowing James Comey to stay on as FBI Director baffled me even then.) Trump's present boasts of "Trump did this" and "Trump did that" are now the equivalent of a high school jock talking up his high school glory days. They are little more than memories now. A big contributing factor to why it is that we no longer have those good things that Trump brought is Trump's failure to hold people accountable. The list is LONG of people whom he was soft on--people who have HARMED us. Hillary Clinton, Romney (he never should have endorsed him), James Comey, FAUCI! The list is long. And with regard to the vaccines, Trump needs to also acknowledge his own part in that. But instead we have government that operates like a dysfunctional family that tries to hide away the bad behaviors of those within it and pretend to the rest of the world that they don't exist. At present, I think it is fair to say that Trump has lost any future vote from me. That doesn't mean that he cannot earn it back, but it must be earned. I think that there are two things that I will remember most about what just played out regarding the vote for House Speaker. One is that the conservative side I was rooting for was deeply divided. There was more than one dividing line, but the one that was drawn the deepest was that between the politicians in Washington, D.C., and "we the people." They aren't listening--and that includes Trump. The other thing that stands out to me is that politicians are focusing on political "wins" which they think they have gained in the bargain that was struck which put McCarthy in place. What concerns me more than what we got out of the deal is what it is that we have given up in that agreement. Congressman Crenshaw called the holdouts to McCarthy "terrorists." Political prisoner Jeremy Brown called them "warriors." I am ashamed that our country has become one in which so-called conservative representatives in government don't even bat an eye at comments like the one made by Crenshaw. They are so out of touch that they don't even realize--or perhaps they do not care--that those insults directed toward the people who are doing the rare thing of standing up for us (regardless of whatever their motivation for doing so may have been) are insults directed at US as well. Those who labeled patriots as "terrorists" won the day, and I will not forget Trump's part in it.

Pay attention, folks. THIS is why our congressmen and congresswomen absolutely MUST hold the line and not give in to corrupt Kevin McCarthy. We owe it to those PATRIOTS who have been wrongly imprisoned and persecuted by our government to continue to encourage those in the House to hold the line. And we owe it to ourselves and to the future that we will leave behind for our kids to put ceaseless pressure upon our representatives to hold the line. HOLD THE LINE. The full video with Jeremy Brown can be viewed here on The Gateway Pundit. It is noted by the interviewers that these comments praising those who are holding the line against McCarthy were the FIRST thing that Jeremy Brown chose to speak about. Do not underestimate the importance of what it is that these brave representatives in the House are doing. They are staging the intervention that our country has needed for a long time now. Please support our WARRIORS in the House and please support Jeremy Brown and other political prisoners of our government. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/01/political-prisoner-fbi-target-jeremy-brown-speaks-prison-cell-january-6-two-years-million-patriots-met-washington-dc-protest-stolen-election-prayer-vigil-tonight/

It should NOT be unreasonable for us to expect accountability from our government. But we have government right now that truly does not believe that it is their job to answer to the people. We have NO representation. And this conversation I had today with Senator Clements' Senior Legislative Aide, Dan Wiles, is just another example of the condescension that I have repeatedly been met with when I have called for accountability from our elected officials. Despite Mr. Wiles REPEATEDLY calling me "unreasonable,' I do not believe I have been. If I sound frustrated with our elected officials in any of the videos that I post, you can rest assured that those videos are NOT the first attempts that I made to try to get my concerns addressed. The frustration comes form having all of my very polite letters to elected officials either completely ignored or responded to with canned "answers" that are never answers at all. Your government hates you. They don't hide the fact that they hate me. Hell, they often tell me to my face how much I am despised at the capitol. I'm fine with that. But rest assured, it isn't just me that they hate. They hate all of us who remind them that the job that they asked for required them to swear an oath. I am called "unreasonable" for expecting them to uphold that oath. You can find other videos detailing the corruption that exists in Nebraska's elections on my Rumble page or on voicesofnebraska.com.

Demanding accountability isn't disrespectful at all. It is how respect and decency are maintained. In this interview from new NEGOP Chairman Eric Underwood, interviewer Ian Swanson suggests that the new party leadership should not simply "move on" without acknowledging the wrongs of the past. Chairman Eric Underwood's response will provide little to no comfort for those who were hoping that new party leadership would bring with it accountability. And it does make one wonder how bad things must get before the NEGOP decides that they can no longer "move on" and ignore corruption. https://www.voicesofnebraska.com/silent-no-more/ah-but-the-republicans-seldom-do-what-they-should
