O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,

And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;

O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

La-Fayette Meeting Place Outlines

 Hi All:

I announced in August of last year the La-Fayette Meeting Place. It's a monthly meeting of likeminded citizens that are concerned about the direction of our country. A time of information sharing, encouragement and fellowship. While we have been meeting since September 2021, I have neglected posting my outlines. It doesn't do the whole meeting justice because there is discussion about the various topics in the outline. Below is from our Feb. 2022 meeting. If you would like previous meeting outlines, let me know. Thank you!

5. Scripture Reading

And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah: And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive. And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive? And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them. Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.

Where Were You That Day?

 We often ask people where they were the day of 9/11/2001, and understandable so.

But that's not the day I'm referring to. About a month ago our National Debt passed the 30 Trillion Dollar mark. 30 Trillion folks, that's a lot of zeros: $30,000,000,000,000. Are we trying to do anything about it other that whine on social media? We better before it's too late!

Have you read that part of Declaration of Independence lately after that "...life, liberty and pursuit of happiness" stuff? You might want to check it out. 

~ Pester Brat

National Debt Update 11/25/2021

 According to usdebtclock.org the National Debt on this date at 6:28 PM is over 28 Trillion 987 Billion Dollars. That, my friends comes out to over 229 Thousand Dollars per Taxpayer and 87 Thousand Dollars per citizen. It's not looking good with the 1.2 Trillion Dollar so-called Infrastructure bill recently passed and the 3.5 Trillion Dollar Build Back Better bill they're trying to pass. What are we doing to our children and grandchildren if we even make it until they get older if we don't do anything about this?

From Nine Eleven to Afghanistan Pull Out

As everyone knows, yesterday was the 20th Anniversary of what we have called "Nine Eleven." The September 11th, 2001 attack on our country that including the destruction of the World Trade Center towers. It was a tragedy we should never forget. I was in SE Florida at the time working for a bank at the drive-thru when the attack occurred. 

A lot has happened during those 20 years. 7+ more years for President George W. Bush, 8 years of President Barack Hussein Obama, 4 years of President Donald J. Trump, and as of the date of this post, 8 months of "alleged" President Joseph R. Biden. 

In response to the attack we got the Patriot Act that included the Department of Homeland Security. While there have been other violations here and there in the past, the Patriot Act was a huge constitutional violation invading privacy rights in the name of safety and security.

During the Obama Administration, we were given the Affordable Care Act, aka Obama Care, that further violated the Constitution by requiring citizens to have Health Insurance or be fined, and more. It was also during this administration that there was a big increase in "false tolerance" and "race baiting." Since President Obama was a the first African American and un-self admitted Muslim POTUS (but his mother was white), with the help of the lamestream media, people who opposed Obama's views were wrongly and stupidly considered racists. The false tolerance including not taking action against certain Muslims that resulted in the shooting and murder at Ft. Hood in Texas, and more. Mr. Barack HUSSEIN Obama also helped Iran by allowing them produce ingredients that could be used for nuclear weapons. More could be said, but suffice it to say that those that wanted the first black POTUS could have done much better. I believe that until Nov. 2020, Barack Hussein and Michelle Obama being our first black POTUS and First Lady was the greatest hoax ever at that time.

Then, since so many citizens were fed up, we got a guy for POTUS that many considered wrong for the position because of his past lifestyle, and he being to direct and not having much if any tact. He was a business man that ran as a Republican even though he was really more of an independent and outsider. He was the first POTUS to use Twitter and many people thought he sent many mean tweets. He falsely impeached, and was constantly under attack by most Democrats and the RINOs (Republicans In Name Only). Because of that and all that he accomplished in spite of them, he is probably the greatest POTUS of them all. This writer didn't vote for him in 2016 (I didn't vote for HWC either), but I did vote for him in 2020. When you look numerous factors and the 2016 General Election, I believe that Donald J. Trump actually won the 2020 Election. As of the date of this posts, I believe various audits are proving this. Whether the election will be overturned remains to be seen, but because of a serious situation with our current POTUS, it's even more reason why it should be. But more of that in a few minutes of writing and reading. Since millions of Americans believed that Trump really won the 2020 General Election both by electoral college votes and the popular vote, there was a large protest on Jan. 6th 2021 at the Capitol- the day of certification. It was said that some "Trump Supporters" illegally went into the Capitol and that there was an attack. I believe it was a false flag event and that it was possible that Antifa members were posing as Trump Supporters. But even if it wasn't, it has been proven that people were allowed into the Capitol and much of it was relatively peaceful. I think the Democrats, RINOs and Lamestream Media blew it out of proportion, and that it was not an attack on the Capitol and our Nation.

We now move on to our current POTUS- Joseph R. Biden. Not only do I think he should not be POTUS because he really lost the 2020 General Election. He also should not be POTUS because he is obviously unfit to be POTUS and Commander-in-Chief. It is obvious, and Physicians that have observed him have said that the man has Dementia or some sort of mental impairment. Yet practically nothing is being done about it. I don't think we should make fun of him, and the situation is serious. Who is running our country? It is not Mr. Biden! How could his wife allow him to even run for PUTUS and allow this charade to go on? Joseph R. Biden should be and should have been removed!!! They have botched (if it really wasn't deliberate) the southern border security so that not just a few of them that want asylum are crossing the southern border, but criminals, gang members and terrorists as well. That's dangerous. More recently, and interestingly just days before the 20th Anniversary of Nine Eleven, they botched the pull out of Afghanistan that costs numerous lives including 13 Marines and left billions of dollars of weaponry and equipment. And they plan on letting thousands of refugees to come over here, who won't be vetted. That's also dangerous, and yet they want to ban more guns. A few days before the date of this post, while standing next to his wife Jill while she was speaking, he abruptly leaves her side to go somewhere according to Fox News. Come to find out that he heard the Ice Cream Truck and went to get an Ice Cream Cone. Then about a week ago, because enough Americans are not voluntarily getting the COVID-19 Vaccine, the POTUS issued an unconstitutional Executive Order (if it is intended to apply to non Federal Employees it's unconstitutional) that all employers that have more than 100 employees is mandate that their employees get the vaccine. Regardless of what you think of the vaccine, every American should be quite concerned about this Federal Government overreach and violation of the constitution and be contacting their federal and state senators and representatives. I'm thankful that seemingly my State has language in a recent vaccine passport ban nullification bill that recently passed preventing that from happening in our State. What about your State? Better contact your reps!!! 

So since Joseph R. Biden is not fit to be POTUS, and the various audits have shown that he did not win the 2020 General Election, he should be removed along with VPOTUS Kamala Harris, and Donald Trump and Mike Pence should be reinstated. Make it so, engage, and get 'er done!

So yes, much has happened in the 20 years since that tragic event. Much more that I have not listed in this blog post. We have gotten soft on Al-Quaida, ISIS, the Taliban, and rest of radical Islam. Their goal is to take over our country by population if they don't do it by force before that happens, while non Muslim citizens are only having 1.something kids average per family. We need to ask ourselves if we really think that the peace loving we-just-want-to-live-the-American-dream Muslims would help try to stop that if it even gets that far. We have Muslims holding elected office in the Federal Government whose beliefs contradict the U.S. Constitution. How can they even be there??? We need to do some serious rearranging of our thinking and priorities, don't we?

Introducing The La-Fayette Meeting Place

 As those that have been following and reading know, the Fellowship of Concerned Constitutional Patriots (sometimes shortened to Concerned Constitutional Patriots) has had a national presence on the internet for almost a decade.

After we settled down and I partially retired in Lamar County Alabama, I started developing a conviction to do something on a local level. And not just for us, but as an example and hopefully just a beginning for others to do the same thing in counties, cities and towns around the country. 

The La-Fayette Meeting Place is short for The Lamar County- Fayette County Meeting Place. As we know Lafayette is a common name and many places around our country bear that name. Interestingly, we lived in Lafayette Louisiana for 18 months previous to here. And I saw an old map of Alabama that showed Lamar and Fayette Counties as one, called Lafayette. The La-Fayette Meeting Place is the location and meeting name for the Fellowship of Concerned Constitutional Patriots: The Lamar County/Fayette County Chapter. Perhaps one day it'll grow so we can split it into 2 or more chapters. 

It is modeled after a church service, and if allowed, will technically be a church, but biblically it is not. No Pastors, Elders or Deacons. No Bible sermons. There will be some praying, scripture reading and Christian music along with patriotic music, readings from the constitution, our country's founding fathers, and news that affects us. In other words, it will be unapologetically Christian (but non denominational) and constitutional, but the purpose is to inform about unconstitutional and economical issues, and major news, and encourage one another through music and getting to know each other. 

My goal is for our meeting times to not interfere with Sunday and Wednesday Church services, yet be at a time for most people to come. I know that between Church, football, school, and more, there will not be a perfect day and time. Even though I live in Vernon and know more people here, I want to try to be somewhat centrally located for Lamar and Fayette Counties, and it be easy to get to. 

So to start off we will meet once a month on the 2nd Thursday of each month at 7pm at the Crossville Community Center. If you can't come but believe in what I'm trying to do, please spread the word, and if you're a praying person, pray for this.

If you have any questions, you can reply to the posts in the various Facebook groups and posts, Private Message me on either my personal account (BretM Lovitz) or Pester Brat, or you can email me at pesterbratdotcom@aol.com.  

We need to do this more than ever before. There is so much going on that's further eroding our freedom, economy, and country. Let's make this endeavor happen!

Thank you, I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible.

~Bret Lovitz, aka Pester Brat~

P.S. If you are reading this and are not local, I hope that you will consider doing this in your own county, city, or town. 

National Debt Update

 As of the date of this post, out national debt according to usdebtclock.org is over 28 trillion 672 billion dollars.

That comes to over 86,000 per citizen and over 227,000 per taxpayer.

What we're doing to our children and grandchildren is unconscionable! While one major political party seems to spend more than the other, both parties are culpable. 

Is it too late to do anything about it? What cab be done? Is voting the right people in the only remedy if we even could? There are other remedies, but most people would not be willing to do it. 

Wake up people, before it's too late.
