Woke culture is the Whore of Babylon.

Pinochet was good for Chile long after he was gone but now they elected a socialist.

Perhaps we need more Bernie Goetz’s.

Another surrender monkey parade where Soros trolls and FR’s gloom-and-doom defeatists can strut their stuff.

There have been civilizations that lasted far longer than The US.

Just ask your Sumerian ambassador about his.

As long as demonrats are tolerated and allowed to exist this country is inevitably doomed.

Re: “...many Americans are rediscovering those foundations in the midst of a modern contest for the soul of the nation.” ( from the article)

I agree. Can the discovery happen quick enough?America has two potentially fatal problems:

...One is vitally important and **urgent**! Election fraud! Our elections are non-transparent and therefore completely untrustworthy.

...The second is also vitally important but sadly not perceived as urgent. Schooling from Pre-K through university level graduate school is stuffed with Marxists. Nearly every teacher in this nation ( pre-K through university) was trained by godless Marxists in Marxist-run colleges and universities. This is true for both private an government schools.

Both are fatal threats and both are urgent. If freedom is to survive both must be fixed QUICKLY!

That's just great.

According to the evolutionists, almost all species go extinct too. So we have that going for us.

And astronomers say the Sun will supernova eventually.

So in the words of Solomon..."Eat Drink and be Merry for tomorrow we die."

I give this thread the Depression stamp of approval.

but I'm very surprised he put climate change in the list of root causes of the loss of the Roman Republic:

Surely you do not claim climate change does not exist? Historical evidence proves it does and has been a key factor it the destruction of societies going back too the days of the Mesopotamian societies.

What you fail to see, is he never claimed it was human's fault. Climate does exist, because it is the natural sequence of events just like the ice age was.

Even the leftist in their inability to tell the facts of their historical studies of empires of the. past. admit that the end of the Yucatan Mayan empire came about dies to a natural assurance of climate change that wiped out most of the Amazon forest which their culture needed to survive.

Nineveh was eventually depopulated, not only because of wars they lost, but because the climate changed, Babylon existed at a time when the area was more lush and water was nearer by, today one cannot imagine anything but a dead dry area.

The Summer that never was, was. climate change due to volcanic activity when Krakatoa exploded, and thousands years earlier the destruction of the Minoan Civilization from the eruption of Santorini Volcano changed the very balance of power in the Mediterranean which rests all standards humans had grown to be accustomed by at the time.

Just because liberals want to give man credit for climate change, does not mean it does not nor never did exist, nor does it mean that drastic climate change created by earthly changes has not destroyed empires while leaving room for other more powerful empires to grow up in the vacuums of such power.

Until there is a worldwide nuclear war, we will always have nature occurrences of climate change. One day we may have a world wide nuclear war, and when it happens, we can then blame mankind, but what the left does not realize is, it will be their fault, not mans desires to live as free men by using the the natural fuels built in our planet for our use.

There will be a red wave.

Mark it down. 45 seat (floor) in House, to 60 seat (ceiling). Net gain of 1-3 Senate seats. This will be a wipeout all the way down to dogcatcher, and the Dems are already warning all their people it’s coming.

The good news is that America has stronger foundations than Rome ever knew, and those foundations not only seem to be holding, many Americans are rediscovering those foundations in the midst of a modern contest for the soul of the nation.

Let's at least wait and see if America will last as long as the Roman Republic before making such a judgment.

Yes.
My understanding is that The Whore of Babylon is a wicked culture and is not confined to geographical boundaries or time.
