John Minford, #SunTzu 6: 39 "The warrior shapes his victory from the dynamic of the enemy."

We've considered the ancient laws of friendship and enmity before. We must consider them again:

1) The Friend of my Friend is my Friend.
2) The Enemy of my Friend is my Enemy
3) The Friend of my Enemy is my Enemy
4) The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend.

I honestly do not know why we struggle with such a simple, profound, and ancient formulation. But that we do struggle with it is beyond dispute. I can't quite track it. Somehow, we have found ourselves in a world where to identify an enemy is considered evil.

Perhaps this is our failure. Villain vs victim. We have all claimed the rights of victims, regardless of truth or falsehood. And, in so doing, we have wiped out the truth and harsh reality of absolute villains. My own favorite villains are Obama and HRC.

We are not victims in the #MAGA movement. We are victims no more. What have, instead, is voice. Precisely as @realDonaldTrump speaks freely, FREELY, so also can we. He has given us political free speech. We used to be afraid. We must be afraid no more.

Who is the enemy? And how do we shape our victory from his dynamic? Sadly, so very sadly, the enemy is our educators. They teach socialism to our students, our children. Sadly, so sadly, the enemy is, yes, the Democrats. You can't imagine how much I hate saying that.

I am a true believer - I wasn't before! - in the national vote, and in the Electoral College; in the two basic parties. If you wish a third, a fourth, you're heading toward Parliaments, and away from our genius constitutional structure. Let's talk about that history.

The Magna Carta, in 1215, was the beginning of Great Britain's Parliamentary tradition. There was the king. There was parliament. They served each other. They opposed each other. But the presence of the king was 100% the basis. Have you pondered this?

Can you feel the separation of powers here? Yes! But, it was still a legal body who served and opposed the king. When our founding fathers decided to NOT have a parliament, in significant part, they were clearly stating that our power system is NOT based upon or against a king.

Who is the swamp? In a single term, it is those who wish the equal power of a king over America. A king? A dictator? What difference? Socialism always empowers dictators. Contemplate that. Socialism is, absolutely, the very opposite of what we strove for in our Revolution.

Who is the enemy, the enemy within? It is those who seek to replace the rights and protections of our constitution with socialism today. Which is to say...the Democrats. If we can save the non-socialist Democrats from the power base of the party, then we must. I hope to do so.

Whomever @POTUS faces will be the enemy. In each and every 435 congressional districts the enemy will be the Democrat. We'll discuss the Senate another time. We must zero in on the House.

Have you felt it yet? When the founders gave us a House of Representatives, voted in or out every two years, they gave us the power of Democracy. There are 425 elections across our land every two years. This is the closest you get to national politics with your vote.

Lower than nation. Lower than state. These 435 elections occur by district. So, who is the enemy within your district? And, who is your local hero? What warrior can shape his victory from the dynamic of the local enemy? If we on the right hear this, we can save America.

Let's turn to the Senate. Why are their safe districts? Why do Senators get continuously elected for decades in a row? Here's mine, and Sun Tzu's answer. The reason is that no contender from our side ever studies or learns from the dynamic of the enemy.

100 Senators, six-year terms, this leads to 33 or 34 Senators up for reelection every two years. On our side, we fight for ONLY 5 or maybe 10 of those seats. We've already surrendered all the rest before we even get started. Master Sun must laugh at us, in shame.

435 + 33 = 468. In each and every one of those 468 contests there will either be a #MAGA champion or not, and in those cases not, we've already failed. Then, assuming there is one, we MUST shape our victory from the dynamic of our enemy. Can you feel it?

Master Sun is teaching us. We must become serious about each and every contest. We must NEVER surrender before we commence. We must study our enemy's dynamic and defeat him thereby.
