Yesterday, reading this post, I had the same thought: everyone in the U.S. who is rational needs to see this. I worry that voters won't turn out in November in order to put away, once and for all, all this commie craziness. Sadly, one insane Pennsylvanian absolutely will be in Congress come January because no one is running against him.....yet. Chris Rabb is his name; he has denounced the Declaration of Independence as a document that made a bargain with the devil in order to advance the cause of white privilege. Maybe, if someone with a sense of patriotism in PA-3 sees this post, that person will decide to run against Rabb.
Mary Ann, I live in a suburb of Philly. PA. Seems like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh control the state. There are plenty of Repubs/Conservatives. But they have to get out to vote. Chris Rabb - democrat socialist. UGH.
We elected Trump and McCormick, and a rational Democrat in Fetterman. There's no reason we can't come out in large numbers this fall to save the Republic. I'm shocked that a guy like Rabb is even on the ballot.
I agree Mary Ann. The Left is powerful. And I am surrounded by democrats that either vote reflexively or hate Trump/Repubs. After walking three districts, canvassing for R’s and Trump, I know who is R/D in my immediate area. It is dismal. Still I am undeterred from putting out my signs and showing support for R’s and Trump. The woman across the street doesn’t like me because I am not democrat. So, I (childishly) turn my signs to face her house. 😂 I have R neighbors who thank me for my signs and Patriotism. I always have my US Flag out and lighted at night. Most people do not even have flags on holidays. It is disgraceful.
In my little town of about 600, only about 50 are Dems. They aren't activists, but are nevertheless committed Democrat voters. The only entity they control here is the school board only b/c no conservatives have run. BTW, good for you putting out signs and flags and showing your politics. I love having t-shirts made. My favorite is from 2024: "I'm voting for the Felon and the Hllbilly." One Democrat saw me in it and he was so angered by it that he wrote a letter to the editor of our local newspaper. He didn't get the joke.
😂 No surprise. How could they understand? They are the impetus for the T-Shirt! Plus, they are seriously upset that the “felon” is in the White House. They are not, however, upset about the illegal felons or murders-to-be on the streets.
People don't read. It is my biggest pet peeve...getting people to read. I share your stack in so so many places because of your unique way in getting the point across. I think others will appreciate your style and immediately read all the way through. Maybe even tell and/or share with someone else! Yay for you if they do! I keep thinking your style will be able to get through the democrat brain and maybe spark it to work right. Hope springs eternal.
Bravo, Jenna! I think this is one of the best articles you have written and I am happy you are sharing it. As I commented yesterday, apathy is a human problem and it extends into so many facets of many people's lives.
Thanks, my friend! That is quite a compliment which I will graciously accept.
You make a positive difference in everyone's life. I assure you that I speak for all your fan girls and boys on this platform. I know of no other group of people who are equally ACE!
So, everyone have a great 4th of July celebration and thank God for being an American. There is simply no place that comes within a country mile of these United States of America!
This is something I've used and it just popped in my mind to share - you probably have other tools but the mind likes variety in my experience: The 15x Affirmation Exercise: Scott Adams credits this habit (learned in a hypnosis class) for his success in breaking out of his corporate cubicle, landing a date with a woman out of his league, and becoming a famous cartoonist ("Dilbert"). How it works: Choose a specific goal or statement (e.g., "I, [Your Name], will become a successful [Profession]"). Write that exact sentence 15 times daily. Do it consistently over several weeks. Adams explained that by repeating the statement, you "hack your brain," conditioning your subconscious to recognize opportunities that align with your written goal.
Thanks for opening this up for more people! I posted this article in the comments of your locked post and will share it here, too, because it is so bizarre. In Vermont, Democrats run as Dems in the Dem Primary and as Republicans in the Republican primary for the same seat. If they win both primaries, they can appear on the general election ballot as Democrat/Republican. If you vote a straight Republican ticket, you probably just voted for a bunch of liberals. I was notified by another reader that PA has s similar goofy law.
Jenna, I have moved literally dozens of times. Finally landed. Each time I moved I had three categories - Keep, Donate, Sell. In that order. So, I think it is great to share what those of us feel is worth “buying.” Which is all of your writing. There are times when a need presents itself and that calls for action. I say YES…share. Thank you, as always, for your hard work and engaging writing. :)
Seriously Jenna. I love to write. I am a responder. You are a creator for those of us that love to respond. Predominantly, I am a professional organizer. Clients have the dilemma and I respond to their need to organize, clean out, downsize, move, pack…whatever I can do to help them move forward. It is wonderfully rewarding. Not all of my clients understand what it takes. Sometimes my clients are elderly and cognitively impaired. They have become my favorites. It is more common now as we live longer. That is all to say, that those of us that thrive in a cooperative and collaborative environment need one another. You don’t just provide content. A lot of people can do that. Someone once said that I am a “relational” writer. I would say the same about you. Now, more than ever, we need people like you that can provide information with the down-to-earth relational touch. :)
I am honored and flattered to be included in that group. Truly. In this crazy messed up AI world, I fear every day that the “human element“ will be less and less regarded… you genuinely give me hope for the future!🩷
I do have Faith and Hope. I think I told you that I have a son with Aspergers. It is just us. Of course, I worry at times about what will happen to him when I am gone. It is a real concern. But then I just persevere. And that is another reason why I appreciate your posts. It makes me feel not alone. When I am engaged, I am resourceful. That is what my son needs me to be. It is me that cannot say enough about how you have contributed to my resourcefulness. We are all in this together! ♥️
Yes, we do have an amazing, intelligent and engaging community! Thanks to you. In my past, I managed privately owned business establishments. One thing I learned is that the business is only as functional as the top person allows. To this day, I ask workers if they like their job. It is easy to discern how they are treated from management. Sadly, most businesses here are not privately owned anymore. This is to say, that you, as the top person, have created a community that is amazing.
I was an uninformed, apathetic voter until I was about 50. Now 10 years later, I’m on the executive board of our local government party, I walk many precincts handing out flyers for our county candidates, attend as many candidate forms and other local events in order to encourage others to become more informed and vote. Now I’m not just an informed voter I know almost every candidate and have met them personally. I get a number of texts when our ballots come out because my friends know I know the candidates and I know them well. Let me say, I do not enjoy this. I would rather be traveling, out in my garden, spending time with my daughter. My feet hurt from the miles of walking, I groan when I look at my calendar and I see how many evenings I need to be at different events. But I get up off my couch to help the next generation. My daughter deserves it. And I’m setting an example for her to participate in local as well as national elections. I also have been able to meet great people and become apart of my community.
Huxley predicted the masses being compliant through Soma. The medication generation (born in 80s/90s) are grown up and now medicating their own children.
Soma seems to make people apathetic, possessing less integrity.
Appearing lazy, those on Soma also seem to be intellectually lazy to challenge what doesn’t add up to realize that socialism is a scam for a new elite class, well heeled in their totalitarian government.
Thank you for sharing this post. And yes, Americans have an apathy problem mainly BECAUSE no matter how you vote, you get more of the same government pandering to corporations, and working hand in glove with one another to rob you. There is therefore a growing non-partisan abandoned middle which currently figures - why keep voting?
One more thing... ;)
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.
The problem with capitalism is that you eventually run out of other people's extractable added value.
Both of these are currently in their past-peak area of diminishing returns. A fact few of us have even begun to grapple with. (Except, possibly, subconsciously, by having fewer babies).
Way to go Jenna! Thank you for sharing to all and God Bless you 🙏🏻♥️🇺🇸

I'm so ridiculously grateful for that support, Jeanne! :)
Awww, shucks Mrs. McCarty. I didn't know I was going to be such a rabble rouser! Thank you!
LingOL! You had lots of support. [*blushes furiously*] Appreciate you! :)
Without descending into a conversation of politeness with chipmunk voices...
"Oh, no, no, no. I appreciate *YOU*"
Bravo, Jenna! I think this is one of the best articles you have written and I am happy you are sharing it. As I commented yesterday, apathy is a human problem and it extends into so many facets of many people's lives.
I hope this is shared far and wide!
LFG!!
KatWarrior, you are ACE (as my Brit friend would say). THANK you for being passionate and generous and smart and kind and amazing!!!
Thanks, my friend! That is quite a compliment which I will graciously accept.

Rock on, Jenna!

I am all about manifestation! I love this.😍😍😍
