As some of you know, I’m an aficionado of ancient history. I thought it might be worthwhile to discuss what happened to Rome and based on that, what’s likely to happen to the U.S. Spoiler alert: There are some similarities between the U.S. and Rome.
I told you so.
I dunno. When I attend an NFL game and feel the electricity inside the stadium it confirms my attitudes-the football players are gladiators and this is Rome.
Lots of similarities between the US and Rome.

Who are the Lions?
“Although America is not an empire”
Check your premises.
We don’t throw Christians to lions....yet.
But we do have a fiddling BideNero in the White House, and we’ve already had Clintigula.
Now, people have to wear huge elastic sweat pants in order to go to the super market to use the EBT's that the goverment has bestowed upon them. And they still hate this country. God forbid they have to actually WALK down the aisle.
No self respect, and no respect for this country. Anything that has made this country great - freedom, self-reliance, honor, piety, is immediately trashed.
God forbid that you love our traditions, the internal combustion engine, woman, meat, American sports, guns or traditional family values.
Someone comes along who wants to champion these traditions has to be destroyed legally, personally and politically. The deck is stacked, and we will limp along for a hundred years or so.
It ended with passage of the 1965 immigration act. Accelerated by open borders.
There are many, many differences between The Roman Empire and The United States.
What has not changed is the behavior of humans.
The same emotions are present,
*We don’t throw Christians to lions....yet.*
We’re past that. They had duels to the death. Their reward was freedom but only if they won. The combatants were slaves. Today’s football players are millionaires.
One of the old guys at work said they had young boys sit on pegs all day so that at night they could F them in the butthole. True?
America has a 4th branch of government, unelected, and supremely powerful - the deep state. As he mentions this is the Praetorians. Them installing the vegetable Biden as President made it official.
Who are the Lions?
All I know is they are 1 and 1 and tied with the entire division.
+1
The President does not rule the Congress.
It is the deep state which rules, with the Media.
The deep state (intelligence groups and the unelected bureaucracy, with the Media, select and approve of presidential candidates.
Which is why they hated Trump so much.
The Roman promoters really did things right
They needed a show that would clearly excite
The attendance was sparse so they put on a fight
Threw the Christians to the lions, sold out every night
The Kinks (Give The People What They Want)
The Neocons certainly gave it their best...but Russia, India, China, and many other countries simply don’t want to answer to them.
So now the ONLY QUESTION remaining is whether the Neocons can back away quietly, or whether they need to go out with a nuclear war. We’ll likely see which option they choose, quite soon.
Our version of bread and circuses crushes the roman version. We did things like making the poorest the most likely to be obese and created a passive screen culture that allows effortless entertainment right in the home.

Isa 1:4,7: .....sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
Dan 4:17: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
