Texit – the war game

Now that Rep. Kyle Biedermann (R-Fredericksburg, Texas) has introduced his Texas Independence Referendum Act, let the war games begin. Anyone contemplating secession must make a plan to achieve it, and to count the prices of failure and success. For success in anything must come at a price. But not everything a nay-sayer might count as a price, actually is a price. And one often does not know the true cost of success without trying. Still, as Jesus says, no commander goes to war without a plan. And no one has invented a better way to plan, than the war game.

Texit – can Texas regain its independence?

The 2020s now appear to be the Decade of the Exit. The United Kingdom started it, with Brexit – the exit of Britain from the European Union. Not until 2020 did the UK finalize their exit, but they did it. In America, “Calexit” would have broken the mold—except that the “election” of Joe Biden made it unnecessary. Yet a movement to create a “New California” apart from the big (and neocommunist) cities of Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco continues to attract followers. Elsewhere, eastern counties of Oregon want to join Idaho. Likewise, western Maryland counties and rural Virginia counties want to join West Virginia. But no movement will likely get as much attention as Texit – an attempt by Texans to regain their independence.

Militia – now more than ever

The Constitution of the United States mentions the concept militia at least four times, if one counts every separate clause that mentions it. The recent accession to the Presidency of a quisling, after a compromised election, makes the militia more necessary than ever. Sadly, most American patriots don’t understand the militia as a concept. Herewith a definition of the militia and an overview of an ideal militia structure for our times.

Conservatives v. fake conservatives

Sometimes a major controversy tells you who are your friends – and who pretend to be, but aren’t. The case of Texas v. Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin fits that bill today. True conservative commentators recognize that upon this case will depend whether we have Constitutional government anymore – or not. Fake conservatives holler that the case is insane, frivolous – or a metaphor too disgusting to repeat, even to men only.

Brown’s Razor and economy of miracles

Recently a creation advocate, whom I will not name, refused “honorable mention” at the Creation Science Hall of Fame. He gave this reason for so acting: God, he says, never uses “natural processes” to do the great things He does. This applies as much to the Global Flood (Genesis chh. 6-8) as to Creation itself (Genesis 1:1-2:4a). Everything in either event, must be a miracle. This makes it as good a time as any to discuss, and propose, a statement on economy of miracles. I call it Brown’s Razor, after Walter T. Brown, originator of the Hydroplate Theory of the Global Flood. In fact, Brown and I have discussed economy of miracles often, in conversation and correspondence.

Announcing new video options

As regular readers know, Alphabet, Inc., owners of YouTube, have decided not to let YouTube be what YouTube always has been. To be specific, they are disallowing accounts on the basis of content. For that reason, contributors will have to move their videos elsewhere. CNAV will be ready for them. To that end, CNAV announces a new video embedding extension that will work with more platforms than YouTube alone.

Surrender is not an option

Project Apollo (1967-72) made famous several “one-liners” during critical missions. No more critical mission ever took place than Apollo XIII, in which a fuel cell blew up and the three-man crew almost froze to death, or suffocated. Gene Kranz, captain of the White Flight Team on the ground, coined this “one-liner”: “Failure is not an option!” With that sentiment he drove his ground crew to work miracles, and thus brought three men back alive after a lesser man would have given them up for dead. Today the United States faces a peril just as dire as that of Astronauts Lovell, Haise and Swigert. And in that same Gene Kranz spirit, CNAV declares: surrender is not an option.

Voter fraud, sportsmanship, and blindness

Upon how good Donald Trump is at street fighting, will depend the salvation of America as we know it. Your editor has always suspected voter fraud. In the Election of 2020 the Democrats made their voter fraud obvious. To try to convince any Democrat that voter fraud happens and is happening now, is a classic exercise in futility. They want Biden, and by the devil himself they’re going to have him, no matter what it takes. (Or perhaps one could more accurately say that they want Kamala Harris.) CNAV wishes now to address those, who call themselves conservatives, who actively call on the rest of us to accept a President Biden in 2021. Such people speak from willful blindness, which in turn derives from spite. CNAV will undertake today to open their eyes.

Constitution – why do we have it?

Today your editor received from the Quora social network a flabbergasting indication of the willful ignorance of the American left as regards the Constitution of the United States. A worse error of understanding than what your editor read, your editor cannot imagine. Sadly, the Terms and Conditions of Quora afford no protection of any rebuttal I might offer on that platform. Therefore I will offer that rebuttal here, on a forum under my exclusive control. More to the point I intend to show why we have a Constitution, why the left things we have one, and how these two answers differ.
