The pinnacle of US power was in the 1980’s thanks to the leadership of Ronaldus Magnus. We held the heights of military and political power; domestically the economy was robust. Foreign enemies including the Cold War nemesis were on the ropes. By 1989 America was King of the Hill. Since then we have been misled and betrayed by a pusillanimous succession of Ivy League idiots who couldn’t lead their way to a Welfare line. Only since 2017 did we see a glimpse of former greatness, only to be squelched by a malignant gaggle of second rate losers.
Reagan was good, but James Monroe was the summit of the Golden age, followed by the second coming of a family that in all too many ways resembles the Bushes. New England, same as the Old England.
