President’s Corner
One Justice & One Freedom Warrior
Thursday evening our members and guests listened to two great speakers. First, our incoming Maricopa County Sheriff Jerry Sheridan shared some good and bad information about the sheriff’s department after he was sworn into office on New Year’s Day. One of his first steps taken was to fire the attorneys that Paul Penzone, the former Democrat sheriff brought in and to bring in the attorneys he feels will work for him and our best interests. Jerry vowed to fix the lack of communication that has been prevalent in the sheriff’s department especially due to the lack of cooperation from the FBI in D.C. regarding the issues involved in identifying the criminal element. He said that sex trafficking, especially of children here in Arizona is rampant. Our jails are a mess. Inmates are ill and dying. Working to correct this situation is a priority.
Jerry has a great new program aimed at identifying perpetrators of crime and having them jailed. There is a national database for each child with videos so they can identify and go after the criminals but there are currently not enough deputies to apprehend them all. He will be working to improve that. Jerry vows to work with other sheriffs in Arizona and has been in touch with many already who will form a team of leaders and workers to share intel with the FBI.
He said he has an international expert on threat assessment which he expects will help make a difference in identifying these criminals, Jerry has offered to come back to our club every few months to report back on the progress he is making at the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. We are so lucky that he chose to run again for sheriff.
Next followed an exhilarating talk by Loren Spivack, the Free Market Warrior. He shared the names and topics of his seven books, the most recent of them Kamalat-a parody of the Biden Administration. Loren enlightened and entertained us with the realities of the “Left”. Who are these people, and what does it mean to us? What are their principles? His answer, they have NONE! He goes on to say that a principle is not a belief. A principle applies to everybody all the time an example of which are the 10 Commandments.
Loren names them the “University Left” which started with the 1960’s “free speech” movement which grew into the university of today which is the place of the least free speech on earth. Speech is a “tactic” to them. It is what they say it is. They promote segregated dormitories, when they supposedly oppose segregation and racism. Once they were the champions of women’s rights, now they champion transitioned men competing against women in sports. The Left is a “Cult of Power” they want to exert absolute control over our lives, like what light bulbs, cars & stoves we can have and that we must take their unproven vaccines.
The Left hates the Constitution and the Bible. Their government of choice is Socialism, a simple concept which means somebody out there has a vision for YOUR life and will force it down your throat. We are in a battle of whether we want to live in a country of principles or a under a government with a “big stick.” Our principles are at stake. The Left says Freedom of Speech is incompatible with their vision of Democracy. Loren draws parallels with how freedom of speech is disappearing in Europe, Canada, Australia and other supposed western governments. As an example, in 2024 Russia arrested 400 people for what they said online. In England they arrested 3300!
Loren states there are only two economic systems, Capitalism which leaves people alone, is principled, and the same rules apply to everyone, vs. Socialism that controls us promising everything free but delivering nothing! The Left does not believe in impartial justice but on what team you are on, they allow protesters to burn cities and tear down statues, but they put January 6’ers in jail for “parading in the Capitol.” Loren concluded by saying he hopes Donald Trump can turn things around and clean up the “rat’s nest” that is Washington, D.C. I know we all share this same hope!
