Just in case you're feeling too cheerful, here are ten more statistics to make you consider emigrating to Mars:
1. Paul Bond quotes a poll by the Barna Group: "Nearly 40 Percent of U.S. Gen Zs, 30 Percent of Young Christians Identify as LGBTQ, Poll Shows." (The Gallup Poll shows considerably less
SNIP
2. We read in Breitbart that a poll shows that a majority of Americans aged 18-24 say the Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians was ‘justified.’

3. A friend of mine moved to Arizona years ago to escape New York taxes. Though that state is overly hot six months of the year, he liked the place. Now, he says, the highway exit ramps are filled with homeless, and statistics back up his observation: from January 2020 to December 2021, the number of homeless in AZ is estimated to have increased by nearly 30 percent.

4. We can't keep up with the Chinese military. For instance their navy, "surpassed the US Navy in fleet size sometime around 2020 and now has around 340 warships, according to the Pentagon’s 2022 China Military Power Report, released in November. China’s fleet is expected to grow to 400 ships in the next two years, the report says."
5. The U.S. Navy also has a problem finding recruits, but don't worry, the Navy has an idea how to recruit more sailors: Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, who goes by the stage name "Harpy Daniels" and identifies as non-binary, was a "Digital Ambassador" in the Navy's pilot program to attract new recruits..
6. A shortage of police officers becoming 'a crisis across the country,' at least partly due to anti-police sentiment. Perhaps we should ask Joshua Kelley to solve that problem too?

Have a great day.
It’s going to be interesting when there’s no police and small communities start policing themselves. When the Feds attempt to impose on said communities, then the real fighting starts.
Shows the rot
I was thinking about the fact that these Gen Z young people probably don’t even know what the New World Order plan is. They probably don’t understand what a geo-political state is or if they do, they believe the lies about the New World Order ending wars.
They keep them too doped up with marijuana to be able to think it through.
Sadly.
Unfortunately.
How many warships does the US Navy have now? What is that number expected to grow to in the next 2 years?
In my 1996 visit to Phoenix, I saw more homeless there than any other place I’d ever been. Even Los Angeles.
They were on every corner.
Now one could still easily get work in 1996.
Age limits are set to protect the kids from the pressure of competing against more mature swimmers. Waiving age limits is abusive, as abusive as waiving gender categories. That is probably why he did it.
open borders and communist takeover of media and schools. But the neoCONs only cared about the MIC so this is what we get.
Good post.
Part of my thesis goes that there was a great upheaval in the 60s uprooted many of the deep anchors of Western civilization. Of course Hollywood glamorized this through movies. Then during the 70s parents pretty abandoned their families in this “me generation” leading to the latch-key kids of the 80s who were left completely rudderless. In the late 80s and 90s we begat the age of narcissism which then exploded with the advent of the Internet. With the Internet fully involved during the 2000s, and with social and personal anchors now almost completely corrupted we have a society in full meltdown with precious few people left who are screaming trying to get everyone to safe exits. But alas, the majority cannot and refuse to see the path to safety and will end up burning the rest of society down, consuming almost all.
After decades of smoldering, there are now blazes all around the country and the world. It won’t take much time now before all these fires converge.
What does that mean?
Living in WA, I have seen more of what legalized marijuana can do to people’s lives. I have seen it destroy marriages, send a college student to jail for hitting a guy on a bicycle and killing him, while high, totally ruining the kid’s life. They did let him graduate before beginning his sentence. The guy that he killed went unidentified for months because no one missed him. He was riding a bike home in the dark with no lights because he had lost his drivers’ license for a DUI. The woman who sold him the “medical” marijuana is now divorced and cut off from her family because they want nothing to do with her.
Bama Group finds more queers, lol!
In the fiscal year of 2022, the United States Navy had 11 aircraft carriers, and 122 surface combatant ships.Jun 5, 2023
About 45 ships are scheduled for retirement over the next 3 years. 85 ships are in the planning and ordering stage...ordering stage meaning, they don’t exist yet no keel has been laid.
Among the active commissioned ships is the wooden USS Constitution, but I doubt it can muster for battle in the Pacific against China.
Not to worry in times like these
