Nurses, Heal Thyself: Trump Derangement Syndrome Enters the Hospital …

“Physician, heal thyself!” Jesus said to those gathered in the synagogue at Nazareth.

The admonition was aimed at hypocrisy and moral blindness — a warning that those who presume authority must first examine their own conduct.

Today, someone needs to repeat those words to health care professionals who have allowed Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) to corrode their ethics and professionalism.

That warning applies just as much to nursing as it does to medicine.

Nursing emerged as a modern profession in the mid-19th century under the leadership of Florence Nightingale. In 1893, the Nightingale Pledge codified the profession’s moral foundation, committing nurses to “devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care” and to “do no harm.” Compassion, neutrality, and duty were not optional — they were the profession’s reason for being.”

When men worth millions stand on red carpets, draped in designer fabrics, and call for “revolution,” they’re not speaking for the people. It’s a casting call for the masses to play the role of “useful idiot” in their latest fantasy drama.

At the Sundance Film Festival…that annual gathering where the elite absolve themselves through empty gestures and pat each other on the back…Giancarlo Esposito, the actor who portrayed Breaking Bad’s drug lord, Gus Fring, stepped beyond performance and into provocation.

He explicitly called for “a revolution,” speculating that if millions stormed Washington, authorities “would only kill 500 or 50 million… but the rest of us would survive with a new world.”

Fifty million corpses. This is the human cost he finds acceptable for his vision. Notice his phrasing: “The rest of US would survive.”

Not you. Not your children. “US”…the protected and pampered caste, who will watch from safety while you provide the sacrifice for their ideological theater.

We’re witnessing a spiritual sickness dressed up as compassion and wrapped in platitudes.

These actors live in such extravagant wealth that it would make Roman emperors green with envy.
They are products and beneficiaries of the American economic engine that they claim to despise.

They are precisely what Suzanne Collins depicted in The Hunger Games: Capitol citizens, painted and pampered, orchestrating violence from a safe and comfortable distance.

They want you in the streets.

They want your sons and daughters among the fifty million casualties… While they virtue signal from their mansions in the Hollywood Hills.

They are animated by modern Marxist ideology that views America not as humanity’s greatest experiment in order and liberty, but as a mistake requiring correction through violence.

They align themselves with radical politicians who use identical inflammatory rhetoric. They speak of “burning it down” because they have never built anything beyond fictional narratives.

A revolution would devour the very luxury they depend on. When systems collapse, film festivals disappear and residual checks stop.

But arrogance shields them from this reality.

Do not let comfortable elites incite you to violence in the streets. They project their spiritual emptiness onto the nation and expect you to fill the void.

Their revolution is theater; your suffering would be real.

The United States was forged through ordered liberty, covenant faith, and constitutional law…not the chaotic fantasies of actors who think real life is just another screenplay. Let them cosplay as ungrateful revolutionaries.

We have a civilization to defend, a faith to preserve, and a future to build for our children.

How Did We Get Here???

As cities descend into repeated cycles of chaos and lives are lost in Minnesota, Americans are asking a simple question: how did we get here?

Many Americans, understandably shocked, look at the protests, the violence, and the loss of life and point to immediate causes. Some cite fraud and corruption in federally funded social programs, apparently tolerated by state officials. Others point to aggressive enforcement of immigration law that sparked deadly confrontations.

But these are symptoms, not the cause.

Minnesota is not an outlier; it is a case study of what happens when institutions that once fostered moral restraint abandon that role. The real cause is less obvious because it is far removed from the tragic events we see today in the headlines. It can be traced back decades to what was called the long march through the institutions — a phrase coined in the late 1960s by Marxist student leader Rudi Dutschke. The phrase deliberately echoed Mao Zedong’s Long March, but Dutschke’s was not a military campaign. It was a cultural and ideological one, measured in decades rather than battles.

The strategy was to transform society not by overthrowing government outright, but by infiltrating its core institutions: universities, primary and secondary education, the media, the courts, and even churches. The objective was to shape what people were taught — what would be considered normal, respectable, and acceptable — so that political outcomes would eventually become inevitable.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) alluded to this reality recently before the British Parliament when he referenced a quote often attributed to Abraham Lincoln: “The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.”

That insight helps explain why the classroom has been central to this long march. Obstacles to Marxist ideology had to be removed or marginalized. It was no accident that prayer and Bible reading were removed from public schools in 1962 and 1963. When God and His word are removed as moral restraints, lawlessness fills the vacuum — and that is the fertile ground in which Marxism takes root and gains power.

Over time, that march has moved beyond institutions and inevitably spilled into the streets. Confrontations like those we’ve seen in Minneapolis — whether involving George Floyd or Alex Pretti — are becoming routine. The rule of law depends on shared moral limits; when those limits erode, force alone cannot restore order.

Yet this is not the end of the story.

We are now seeing efforts to retrace the steps of the long march and restore what was dismantled. Just last week, I sat in the courtroom of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals as officials from Louisiana and Texas argued in defense of laws placing the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms. Ten years ago, leaders were routinely warned not to attempt such measures, intimidated by a distorted notion of “separation of church and state.”

But the fruits of the long march — lawlessness and chaos — are now undeniable. And so courageous parents, pastors, and public officials are standing up. With constitutional authority and the courage of faith, they are working to restore and preserve what has always been essential to our republic: if we are to be one nation — under God. Because restoration does not begin in Washington — it begins in classrooms, courtrooms, churches, and homes.
