No.

But the Democrat Party needs to go away.

I don’t know about that, but I do wish the Russians would make good on their threat.

The thing that held down inflation for the last thirty years was China being allowed to take most of the lower echelon jobs in America. This kept the price of goods artificially low as China’s economy was artificial in that the state set the value of their currency instead of the market.

Now the Chinese labor factor is out of the equation because of their Covid lockdowns. The thing keeping American inflation “low” today is that the American dollar is the world currency. Although Americans would say they are suffering the worst inflation ever that is a comparison with the last thirty years which was in effect “unreal” as we were exploiting what is essentially a slave state’s labor.

Today the American government is printing money as fast as they can click a mouse, but it is the rest of the world that is taking the majority hit for those policies. America is exploiting all of its allies and the others who use American currency as their medium of exchange. In effect, America is peeing on the rest of the world in a (I think) futile effort to keep Americans from realizing just how much the world has changed and how badly off American citizens really are.
What we need are reasonable policies that feature cheap energy. What we need is to ditch the Global Warming idiocy.

Some of the anti American left are cheering on the collapse. Aiding the collapse as well.

Will we lose Alaska to Russia and California to Mexico?

There’s a line I like, from the movie “Gladiator”: what we do in life echoes in eternity. I wonder how many Americans are aware of that.

God told Israel to repent as a nation

I thought about that when I first read your comment. But, first, America isn't Israel. We are a wide mixture of mostly pagan peoples from around the world.

On the other hand, Israel (by virtue of its Patriarchs) had a covenant with God.

Second, God knew that Israel would not be obedient or repent. Hence His continual exasperation with her.

As an aside, I have always been curious as to why omniscient God would be exasperated when He already knew Israel wouldn't repent. I guess that just shows how He respects the freewill that He has given humans...and how much He loves us despite our hardheadedness.

Eliminate the Federal Reserve. although painful, it will solve our problems and restore the Constitution as intended.

It will limit money-printing and debt creation, which ultimately only benefits centralized power and fed.gov sanctioned cronies.

Yes, Fed.gov could debase money all on its own after that - but let’s face the problem in front of us now, shall we?

Get rid of the top 20 most populated democrat cities, along with the New York Slimes and Washington Compost, and you have peace on earth. It’s as simple as that.

So the question is: How do you go about doing it?

Do we need Russia to drop nukes? Do we need God to rain down meteorites? Or do we inject all democrats with a special vaccine that slowly kills them off? Stay tuned.

Government intervention into a nation’s economy is as foolish as attempting to control the earth’s temperature by
law or force.

Not so subtle tongue-in-cheek.

The individual state governments ( all 57 of them) are the fail safe mechanism. The Ferral Giverment can fail and state(s) can declare independence and “move on”. That is the system as designed.

The Roman Empire “failed” in the 5ht century but the eastern half went on for another 900 years or so. So I predict the Southern and mid west part of the USA will survive for 1,000 more years.

I agree. If you don’t have a month’s worth of food in the pantry and cash in the sock drawer, you need to do something about it.

No. It needs restored. 99% of the entire government needs wiped out.

Agreed.

No. America is not Israel.
However, America still has a covenant with God.
We all do.

If we abide by natural law, God can bless us.
If we don’t, we eventually cease from existence from the face of the earth.
