We, the American people, have been blessed with many great orators in our illustrious History, but none as great as Abraham Lincoln. Indeed, his two terms in office were of unique and grand consequence for the Republic. Lincoln’s speeches were tutorials that allowed the people of the Union to understand the moment and the importance of their support.

Three of Lincoln’s speeches are spectacular moments in the nation’s history. The first was his speech in New York City to the Lyceum, in which he cemented his claim as the lone legitimate presidential candidate. It was at the Lyceum that Lincoln proclaimed the importance of removing the stain of slavery from the national heritage.

The second great moment was at Gettysburg, where he called for a new birth of freedom and said that through freeing the slaves, they might secure freedom for the free. Lincoln disclosed the meaning of the nation’s sacrifices as validations of the founders’ intent, profoundly preserving the principles of the Declaration of Independence:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal, that their Creator endows them with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness—that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

Finally, at his second inaugural, he called upon the nation to take up the tasks that lay ahead: binding up the wounds of our people and healing the nation of the mighty scourge of civil strife.

Today, we have been met with these same mighty issues that confronted Abraham Lincoln. Like Lincoln, we are confronted by wicked Democrats who were determined to preserve an unjust and unholy cause. They were and are genuine agents of evil.

Ours is responsible for wiping away the stain of injustice and sin of their unjust cause. We are called upon to preserve the founders’ intent of preserving government by, for, and of the people. We are called upon to create a new birth of freedom by liberating our fellow Americans that we might secure the freedom of the free. We here now declare the conditions that confronted this nation. The scourge of domestic, internal threats attempted to take possession of our Republic, that fraudulent imposters like Obama and Biden stole our Executive Branch, permeated a contest a war between good and evil. Now the shackles of our bondage are broken and now a Life, Liberty, and pursuit of Happiness in these United States of America is happening.

We were attacked by Communists, Cartels and radical Islamic zealots, who govern without the consent of the governed. They worked to abolish freedom, dismantle America, destroy free enterprise, and institute communist type slavery. They worked tirelessly to tear down our armed forces, replacing them with automatons indoctrinated with alien creeds called CRT and DEI that are unscrupulous justifications for Communist dictatorship.

The Marxist doctrine and ideology were taught throughout our colleges and universities indoctrinating our young to obey class conflict, to abolish the middle class, the clergy, the white male, MAGA supporters, and the GOP. Their evil deeds would transform honorable men and women into murderous thugs, because it is dirty, cruel, and savage work that alters men’s souls, those who do evil are evil.

We are witnesses to these events. We are the intended victims of the genocidal massacres of our people. We warned our people, exposed the cancer, the tyrants as imposters, and denounced their evil deeds as the work of Satan.

As we advance the cause of freedom, know that we serve a just cause, that our deeds are noble, and that our Creator is pleased by our devotion to duty. By our noble deeds, we become noble again and pleasing to almighty God.

Fear not! Our God reigns!
