The shock of today’s world

It is almost unbelievable how the world has changed since 2008. I understand why it is we are all speechless. I hy we don’t post. . Really, there is little to comment on.

I have spent years warning of the crisis on the university campuses: loss of free expression, conscience, association, free thought, etc.

This has spread across the country. Most of us look at current policies in Canada in shock as that country descends into totalitarianism.

The specter of WWIII looms with Iran, China and Russia aggressively belligerent, if not in outright military armed conflict.

The cost of many staples, essentials has doubled, tripled, doubled again. This applies to food, energy, and, particularly, housing. The Hoovervilles, now Obamavilles, appear on the streets of almost every american city.

When I look deeply, I see a dangerous marxist totalitarian agenda driving almost all US federal and state and local policy. Call it the Democrat Socialists of America, or the Education Blob, or the far left, or the squad or the BLM, the national media,George Soros prosecutors, the destruction of morality thru militant transsexualism, open borders, defund the police, double standard in the justice system, anti private property and confiscation of rents and rentals, this agenda is at every level, and if someone speaks out, they are attacked. I am attacked. Let me be clear, the Democat Socialists of America are the National Socialists movement of the 1930s, and much more frightening in their global acceptance and awesome media power. Look at CNN and its pro Hamas programming, constant, incessant, repetitive, (hah, but you get my point, eh?)

Start at your local level, school boards, county and city government. In my town all three Mayoral candidates are DSA, including the incumbent who they endorse. They support anti landlord, pro street people, pro transsexual, defund the police, pro Hamas policies, yep, even pro Hamas locally, in Montana. There are at least 2 DSA commissioners in Billings, a broght red city overall.

Against this stands a few republicans, Israel, conservative party in Australia, Taiwan, Japan, and not much else altho I’m sure I missed a few.

Are you better off? Do you see the rising generations solving 33 trillion in debt? How about an 80 something recycled self absorbed President of either party?

Rich men north of Richmond solving it? When will our debts come due?

Seems like “pretty soon.”

Just to add to your narrative, you’d be absolutely stunned how much wokeness has infected our military. My daughter took a commission into the Air Force upon her graduation. The things she tells me that are occurring right now are troubling.

Fight, or fold. We know what's coming. At least there will still be a choice at that point........:533:

I find the acceptance of it maddening. I have long questioned my Jewish friends on how in God's name do you remain in the democratic party? They elected a pro-Islamic President (Obama) and the most powerful lobby in the party (the squat or squad) is openly pro - Palinstine! These are people who cheer the death of Israelis. And yet nearly all of my Jewish friends are hard core democrats, primarily because of their abortion stance.

On the bright side, I do believe the current unrest and pro-hammas demonstrations have awakened many. Those who were fine with the attacks on conservative speech now see themselves on the other side of the cancel culture line. Will it make a difference? I hope so

Personally I have come to realize how dumb the current younger generation is. Besides having zero ambition, want everything given to them and have no ability to free think opting to parrot whatever os told them, instead trying to sound intellectual over being intellectual , they are clueless about their world and history

Joe Biden renaming Easter the “Transgender Day of Visibility” is yet another example of our steep decline.
Makes an old skeptic/agnostic re-think Satan.

And in my incredibly cynical mind, I wonder what kind of “eggs” the Transgender Visibility Bunny hides…for children to find at the Transgender Visibilty Sunday Drag Show?

Washington DC is wicked. Babylon. sodom & Gomorrah, and I don’t see how anyone, believer or unbeliever or agnostic, can doubt its hastening downfall.

The Founders who saw us in the light of the Romans were right. Started as a Republic, strong and proud, slowly corrupted into Empire, and finally the wickedness and corruption leading to weakness and downfall. It took us a lot less time than the Romans, not that it's a positive accomplishment.
