After much prayer & reflection coupled with observations of what has occurred over the last 72 hours, I have come to a decision on what I will be doing. As I see it, there are only a few options available. One is to completely quit all social media. For some of you, this is the
way forward. If so, God Bless you & keep you if we do not converse again. The second is to go elsewhere. Well as we have seen with Parler, there will be no "elsewhere" to go. Gab (Epik) will be next. The third option is to equivocate. Disavow Trump & pretend he is the problem.
It wouldn't have mattered who beat Clinton in 2016, we would still be right where we are today. The left is Marxist. They will not stop until they have complete control. Compromise is futile. So those who are going this route are putting persona before character. Call them Vichy
cons if you will. Some who I once followed & respected have gone this route. It would be easy to call them cowards & perhaps many are. Others recognize as I do that they have financial responsibilities, family duties, & must not fall into destitution. I still disagree with their
narrative & the choices they are making. This leaves the last choice that I see available. It is a recognition that for now, these sites are the only game in town that will be allowed. If you are, like me, in a place where professionally & socially, these arenas are not just a
preference but also a necessity, then leaving is not an option. I finally turned my back on the very secular liberalism that is at an extreme danger point in our country today. I turned back to God. I trust God. I also know man, especially fallen man. It is not in my temperament
to bend the knee or acquiesce easily. So I must walk a line between professional persona management & not compromising my character in the process. I admit that I don't know how I will do at this over time. It is not an easy task to accomplish. I will be shifting the focus of my
various site profiles though to reflect this reality & this aspiration. If you follow me, you will see these changes this week. In your face politics which I admit I do enjoy at times is not something I will be doing going forward. I will detail what my accounts will be like as
well as my personal sites (blog, portfolio, services, etc.) over the coming days. I will never compromise my Faith. I am a Catholic & I will always speak out to this truth & reality. Period. I am a traditionalist conservative. While the GOP is over-run with liberals of various
types, we are still, for now, a two-party system. Locally, I will be getting involved even in the most simple of ways with Republican politics. That is where the battles will be fought. They will not be fought on social media & in cyberspace. For now, they won't even be fought in
DC. Too many of the GOP reps & senators there are compromised, cowardly, & guilty of the same malfeasance & evil. We know they can not be trusted. The war now is county by county, school district by school district, church by church, bowling alley by bowling alley. My
professional work from creative to human services to tech does & will always now reflect who I am as a Christian. I will never persona manage this truth away. My "resistance" going forward will be in my work, my music, my visual design, my photography, etc. I've already thought
of many creatively subversive ways to implement just this spirit of Christian rebellion in the face of tyrannical leftist evil. I look forward to sharing it & engaging in it with y'all. I will lose followers. So be it. I will also be pruning down whom I follow & are followed by.
I rarely care who follows me but after the events of the last week, it is more critical that I keep an eagle eye on who does follow me & what they espouse. I don't expect a lot of extremism as I am not one myself. I'm sure I am quite boring & staid compared to many others they
could or would be more interested in following & interacting with. I am also looking into creating a place where like-minded Christians that I follow & who follow me can congregate more away from prying eyes. It will be nothing fancy but it could give us a place to stay in touch
if extreme purges and/or actions are taken here & elsewhere on the big popular & in the public eye sites. If you have an interest, drop me a DM. I have had quite a number of folk DM me. I guess this surprises me. As a very shy introvert, having even the small number of followers
I do is surprising to me. Yes, I can be cantankerous as I was recently labelled.
I do swear on occasion. I am far from perfect. I make mistakes & I never will claim to always be right. So thank you for being my virtual friend today. Being stuck at home due to Covid & my health

issues can & is very lonely at times. I am blessed to have the love of an amazing woman by my side. I am blessed to have the Church even with her fallen hierarchy as my home. I am blessed to have each of you in my life even if but virtually. So I hope going forward that you will
continue to interact with me. We are in very difficult times. Good luck to each & every one of you as you too make the decisions on how to deal with the present storm. God bless!
I will end this long Tweet chain with a song that captures for me the current moment in the cultural war for the very heart & soul of the nation I love.
