West Virginianizing the Nation

By Publisher, Shari Johnson

After the antics of California politicians shutting down businesses and churches during the pandemic era and long after controlling their population to the highest extreme, there was a quote floating around the more conservative States saying “Don’t California my West Virginia,” or whatever State you lived in.

Following Tuesday’s red colorization of the United States, I have to wonder if people are not attempting to West Virgnianize their communities? (Or Oklahomanize)? West Virginia and Oklahoma were the only two States in which every county was red.

According to Golden State map, Trump flipped 10 additional counties to red in the very blue California during the 2024 presidential election — as of Nov. 7, 2024 — that had previously been  blue in the 2020 election. President Trump won the popular votes across the Nation as a whole, which should have turned the volume up on what the citizens of the United States think of the woke agenda that was attempting to be shoved down their throats in every community, whether or not they leaned red or blue.

American government was looking more like it’s communistic enemies in their treatment of citizens, demanding that they fall into line and honor what, from a biblical perspective, went against the Christian principles for which our nation was founded. The moral beliefs of the majority of American citizens were mocked with frilly dress clad men in government jobs being touted as the heroes of the day, and Vice President Kamala Harris telling Christians at her political rally, they were at the “wrong rally.”

As we near Veterans Day, Monday November 11, 2024, it is my prayer that our very red nation will once again remember that the blood shed for this country came from men and women who took their job very seriously and deserve an administration who acknowledge their contributions seriously.

It’s time our military becomes the back bone of America again, not the funny bone of a few warped political factions.

I’m not sure who created the map below. But it makes my heart happy.
