A John Paul Jones-Style Pep Talk Before the Midterms

“I have not yet begun to fight.” Those were the words that John Paul Jones, captain of the USS Bonhomme Richard, defiantly shouted from his burning and crippled ship at the British Serapis on Sept. 23, 1779. Jones and his men ultimately lost their ship but captured the Serapis and won the battle.

There are days it seems as if we could compare our national situation — and especially our election system — to a burning and crippled ship. Our enemies both foreign and domestic, from Tehran and Beijing to Los Angeles and New York, call to us just as the British did in 1779, “Has your ship struck?” But no matter how deep the corruption, how powerful the foes, or how imminent the national crisis, we need to have the attitude of a John Paul Jones. And even though the midterm election is now very close, and some states have even started early voting (God help us), we need to get up every day and exclaim, “I have not yet begun to fight.”

Anyone who thinks the GOP will win the midterms just because the Democrats are crazy is fooling himself. The current administration and most especially the current Senate have not delivered on several campaign promises, and gas prices are very high. Furthermore, Democrats are not naively confident, as they were in 2024. Then, we caught them by surprise. This time they’re putting their whole fraud machine and a few new tricks into action. 

In just one state, California, there are more than a dozen new laws to protect election fraud and criminalize investigations. Even in red-state Utah, the Feds just charged a single postal worker who dumped 300 ballots. In Texas, Democrats are literally buying votes. Republicans absolutely cannot afford to slack off.

Get your right-leaning family and friends to register to vote and make sure they do. Remind anyone at all undecided of the nightmares of the Biden-Harris administration. If you can volunteer for a ballot-chaser or door-to-door canvassing operation, that is even better.

We know how much such operations can accomplish. Scott Presler’s tireless work in Pennsylvania absolutely changed the outcome of the 2024 presidential election. He and his team truly did deliver Pennsylvania to Donald Trump.

Presler and his volunteers have found 50,000 likely alien voters in Pennsylvania. Citizens can replicate his results in their states by cross-referencing available data on noncitizens and registered voters. Registered voter data is usually publicly available, and some resident noncitizen data is also available on government websites. Some people have identified illegal alien voters using the DHS “worst of the worst” criminal database.

We the People are fighting against great odds, but we’re not powerless. And we have not yet begun to fight.
