Patriot Express Newsletter Edition #303

Greetings and welcome to the Patriot Express Newsletter Edition #303. Thanks for stopping by for this month's edition. It is January 2026. Happy New Year to you and your family.

Thanks for your continued support. I pray for peace and hope entering this new year, however all the early indicators are trouble around the world, to include the United States. Hopefully we all can look back over the past year and believe we are personally in a better place than when the year started.

We had a safe and enjoyable holiday season with our family in WV and VA and we are now spending New Years even and day with our youngest kid and four grandchildren here in East TN. It's very cold and windy so we will most likely spend our time together playing games, working puzzles, laughing and sharing all the food that is bad for us. Pizza, chicken nuggets, waffle fries, pretzels and mustard dip, and more. I know, not what a new year's resolution should include for a diet, right? It will be fun, I'm sure. We are a big game type family when together. We hope your holiday season was blessed equally.

I don't want to be the party-pooper for the event, but a part of my heart tells me this could be the last holiday we could be together in this magnitude. The world and nation is changing so quickly, not for the good, and I believe the start of the major changes will begin in 2026. Did you ever think or believe we could see a total stranger or software application known as AI could be managing our life, what we say, how we spend our money, what we buy, when and where we travel, using and spending the retirement funds we worked so hard to build? There is more.

I want you to think very hard on this one because it's the party we supported and voted in to power that is allowing these changes to occur and we are told its for our good. Honestly, it makes me a bit sad because all of these grandchildren in our home right now are clueless to what we once had in America and what is normal to them will be the AI of the future and the life they desire. There is no place in America for most of us tomorrow and beyond. Forget history, laws, the Constitution, freedoms of choice and opinion are a thing of the past.

Let us move along.

Ding, Ding, Ding....Attention HFS readers..... Opinions shared in this newsletter are just that, opinions, and nothing more. Read at your own risk. The owner and author of this site is not responsible for hurt feelings or thin-skinned readers. I do my best to show restraint and respect to the best extent possible. I take as many precautions as possible and try to remain as nonpolitical as possible, however, there are times when I just can't help but point certain things out. Occasionally I use words only Patriots recognize and understand. It's not personal against any non-Patriot. It's just the truth. Sometimes we must pull up our spenders and suck it up. Just saying. Stay the course, read what you want, and avoid the rest. Avoid fear porn as much as possible and the day will be okay. When all else fails… Keep the faith and always have Hope.

Thoughts for the month - The mind that once told us to build to have a successful life is now the mind that is destroying humanity.

During each month I have thoughts on what I want to say here. It changes daily and by the end of the month before the next PENL edition, I'm brain twisted and realize I can't share every thought I have through the month. As many of you know, my undergraduate degree is in Psychology with a minor in Social Psychology and my master's degree is in Emergency Management and Disaster Recovery. I tell you this because it sums up my thoughts in a blink.

As always, this quote flashes bright lights in my mind daily. It was made by the former CIA Director and how true it looms now. I listen to so many podcasts and read lots of books and I'm amazed to how many people call out how the government (CIA) infiltrated all levels of our society years ago. Serving under President Reagan, Director William Casey once said, "we'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American people believe is false," How could we be so stupid as people and a society. Oh wait, we trusted our elected officials and government to serve us, since they worked for us.

I have sounded the alarm for so long the natives are now asking me why I continue doing so. Great question. Why do I? As a Christian, veteran, and citizen of the greatest nation to ever exist, I do believe it has been and is my responsibility to continue doing so. A wise man once told me if I can get the attention of a single person then it was worth it. I agree. It's like growing crops. I plant the seeds and hope they grow. I've said it so much it's like hearing a governor repeatedly broadcast evacuate before the storm. Or, the government continually saying everything is well, don't worry.

Ask yourself, how did we build the greatest nation in history and less than 100 years later be in the position we are in. Why? Why do we have such a divided nation? Why so much racism and religious hate. Why so much white scorning for being white and black hatred of whites. Why so many poor people who can't seem to catch a break? Why are we divided nearly 50% as a populace to follow different political ideologies? Why do politicians choose to stand for their party vs the welfare of our nation? Why do we fight wars? Why must thousands die in a war when it's one, two, or three, leaders who can't come to an agreement. Why do rich nations take advantage of poor nations who are loaded with minerals. I could go on and on.

It's mental and the mind. It's manipulation of the mind by higher authorities to achieve their cause, whatever it may be. I remember many years ago when I served under both conservative and liberal presidents. Back then, I knew I could go to sleep at night and not worry I would wake up and our president handed the keys over to our nation. I can't say the same today.

It is a scary thought to think how fragile and weak the human mind really is. Think about it. How does a child go to school and become brain washed by a liberal mindset and then turn on their parents? Wait, the system first attacked the home and remove both the father, and the Father, from the home. We have children under the age of 10 saying they want to be the opposite gender from birth, and the system says they have the right to make the choice. Think about that. Mass confusion in adults who are terrified to stand up for what is right and the nut jobs are ruling the asylum. Think about all the famous creators through time who are recorded for some invention or medicine, communication device or engine to carry man to the moon. Yet, we read how many of them appeared about two piano keys short of a disaster or insanity. The system, created by the kidnapped minds of the corrupt are now destroying society and those who can still be considered with some degree of sanity are letting it happen.

I rest my case.

So we bring in a new year with new hopes and dreams for a great 2026. Through our faith and desire for peace, I pray we all can meet here again next year. Same Bat time and Bat channel. May our God bless us all.

Let us move along.

Prayers - Please keep our great nation, our elected leaders, military and first responders in your thoughts and prayers. We pray for good health and wisdom. Please pray for our leadership to find answers and guidance to the problems facing our great nation. May your faith remain strong and answers to the unknown provided. God is good and may our prayers blanket and protect you and your circumstances. I pray for each, and every one of our Patriots.

Our HFS family has many prayers needs for health and positive uplifting. We love you all and continue praying for each of you.

May we pray for all the blessings and things in life to be thankful about and continued hope for revival around the world. We must continually pray for the unsaved, our family and friends who live each day without the protection for eternal life and salvation.

As Patriots we must stay strong and never give up. Our home, community, and nation need us now more than ever. Stay focused on your local community and things that will impact you around the nation. Don't allow the events around you to create fear in your life. Build your own self-reliance and focus on faith and hope. Remember we are a blessed nation, and we must continue to be great people today and make a better tomorrow. Keep charging.

Blessings,

P
