But Americans don’t need to travel 7,500 miles to get a first-hand glimpse of the end of American order. In many of our own country’s major cities, gangs of masked thugs and criminals do what they please — and our far-better-armed police aren’t allowed to stop them and protect the rest of us.
Take one August Sunday in Portland, Oregon, where two days ago political gangs roamed freely, beating people, including women, and even opening fire downtown. Meanwhile the police, who have been threatened with government action if they intervene, were nowhere to be seen.

80% of Portlanders can’t find Portland on a map.
He was called Ponytail Guy by Rush Limbaugh.
Good times.
This year for the first time I’ve actually contemplated retiring in another country. Military collapse in Afghanistan is one thing, but we are also on the verge of a financial collapse too with the resulting loss of world currency status for the dollar, not to mention a moral and spiritual decay. Are there enough people left to turn this around and ignore the constant propaganda being piped out thru the media? I’m not so sure anymore, and at 65 I’m not sure I want to be stuck in a country that’s falling apart. Thus I’ve begun researching my other options. They’ve stolen a presidential election and locked up the peaceful dissidents protesting that and there’s nary a peep. That alone tells me we’re probably finished. I might stick around for the midterm elections to see if there’s any hope left, but I’m not optimistic.
I need to give that viable option serious thought.
Yep, and yep.
The sense of security which most Americans have had is going to disappear completely. You’ll see Malls under attack and road closings in places you never thought possible.
I forgot to mention the police state forming here, with Biden and his mandatory vaccines, no-fly list, and even having the audacity to say they were even thinking of restricting interstate travel. It’s just insane that kind of stuff could even be considered in the America I grew up in. It’s got me so paranoid I’m worried I might not even be able to escape at some point in the future should things continue in this direction.
The people around Trump lied to his face. His vetting process was shit. Those who put forward his VP were as corrupt as the VP himself.
As insane as the cloth mask mandates are...they pale in comparison to what's happening along our ~1,900 mile southern welcoming office that is affecting our entire country.
We are literally being invaded, with the door wide open, and most of the country isn't even aware.
The worse would say, “ so you want (fill in the blank) to win.”
Well, the federal and state governments are doing their best to illegally import millions more foreign nationals than the 20,000,000 to 30,000,000+ illegals already here.
Those obviously low skilled, minimally educated and government dependent people will not be able to help turn things around...but they will certainly be able to vote (D) all the while with their hands out for goods and services!
Sooner or latter, the house of cards WILL crash down and it's looking like that sooner is swiftly approaching.
Portland is whiter than snow.
Yup that too, they want a more compliant population, and seem well on their way of achieving that.
I want you, and everyone on this thread to remember one thing. Only 15% of the population supported the American revolution but they defeated the mightiest (at that time) military in the world. So yes, it can be turned around.
I’m just an old lady but I’ll stay and fight as long as God allows it. It would be great if I knew that other great Americans were willing to stay and fight as well.
Yes!
Well it’s not an impossible task but it won’t be easy. Too many brainwashed by the media. When I mention these things to people most just shrug and say whelp that’s they way it is, what can you do? Unless we manage to throw these traitors out of office soon, all of us who protest against the current regime will be considered domestic terrorists and persecuted accordingly. Big tech already monitors and controls and manipulates the population beyond anything Orwell could dream up. I don’t like being pessimistic or the idea of surrendering my country to these evil bastards, but I have to be realistic too. And things are not looking good from my perspective.
I’ve always loved the meme that says “there are 400 million guns in this country, if gun owners were a problem you would know it”
When the time comes nothing will be organized, no word will go out, it will just be. That last straw will hit the camels back and everyone will know.
I know people often refer to several eastern European country's...but what happens if/when the bear in the north realizes the west (U.S. in particular) is no longer a deterrent and "retakes" those country's? Time to move again?
"We," as a country, have really lived an amazing life in the U.S. up until the clear beginnings of the decline in the 2000's under Bush the globalist/nation "builder," and accelerated under Barry the Anti-American.
I don't know, but perhaps the best scenario is for several of the more "red" states to band together, secede, and form a new country with a much more defined and iron clad Constitution (among other things)?
And of course, there were FAR fewer obstacles and they (as a population) were FAR less wealthy/fat/lazy than today.
