Just about every day now that I wake up, fire up the computer and begin reading, I am left in a state of mild depression after wading through the litany of bad news, disaster, corporate and political malfeasance which features on blogs, aggregator blogs and the established news sites. Public schools appear to be open hunting grounds for pervs and freaks, places where the intellectual development of children, tweens and teens must be cut down to the lowest common denominator, so that the lazy and disinterested must not be made to feel discomforted over being lazy and disinterested. The volunteer military demoralized and all but non-functional, our major and Democrat party ruled cities all but drowning in crime while the homeless routinely crap in the streets and stagger around while high on substances which our government has allowed to pour through an unsecured border. A former president has apparently been railroaded on ginned-up charges by a nakedly partisan effort. Our shining republic on a hill, the two hundred-year-plus long grand experiment of engaged citizens actually ruling themselves looks to have degenerated into the worst of a banana republic, where the inner coterie reserves privilege and riches unto themselves and brings criminal charges against any who dare protest … oh, and all the while a tame and sycophant national media licks the boots of the ruling class, and slavishly obeys every command issued by that ruling class, orders to play up some stories, play down and/or denigrate others. Mostly because a lot of the media class are married to or are the spawn of the ruling class … funny how that all works out.

Remember; I was part of a local urban Tea Party early on, and I cannot and will not forget how the Tea Party – as decent, engaged and well-educated a body of local concerned citizens was denigrated by the national news media as a bunch of racist reactionary yahoos. Why yes, I do recall very well how contemptuously we were treated, and now rejoice at CNN/NPR/NYT and all the rest of the unholy national media cabal going down, with regard to credibility and economics. Grudge-holding? Yeah, you think memories and grudges after the defeat of the Confederacy were held long in the South? Welcome to the new civil war, where one side remembers well what it was like to belong and to operate in a high-trust, egalitarian and meritorious society. And on the other side, those entitled bastards pissed away a relatively well-functioning and successful country, in whoring after personal material wealth and power. I hope that they do enjoy the horrible world that their mismanagement has created – alas, the rest of us are going to be pulled in after them, into a dysfunctional, violent (state-authorized violence, or violence committed by their chosen pets, as retaliatory/defensive violence by the rest of us committed in self-defence will be punished by full force of the law) and grotesque banana republic. The ruling class and their wanna-bes might live securely for a while in privately protected enclaves, but the rest of us …
With all the deep state corruption and tranny stuff this is more like drowning in an outhouse.
The homo lobby has infected the American School System.
Psalms 16:11
You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
Set your mind on things above.
I helped start a tea party as well. Of course we were denigrated...it was verbal weaponry used against us. We were a concern. The problem is the tea party went away. The left agenda does not stop.
ALL empires (powerful nations) eventually fail. Rome and so many others. It is predictable. The decline follows a pattern. Sadly humanity doesn’t learn from history.
An interesting read about this (The Fate of Empires) written by Sir John Glubb:

Nicely expressed.
The big problem is you fools continue to participate.
I vote and I pay taxes, however, little else.
I am debt free,own my home. I do not eat out,I do not buy new cars, I do not travel to exotic places
(I live in one, called Hawaii), I don’t go to movies, I don’t buy fancy new stylish things, I don’t supply them with anything more than I have to.
Them, being Democrats that require service industries and government to survive.
every restraunt in the USA could disappear tomorrow and I would not miss them. Same goes for lawyers, cops, politicians, publice schools, et al.
You really don’t need the nonproducers. Quit feeding them!
Give them blue tarps, sleeping bag, shopping carts, and all the drugs they want, just keep them in the middle of their cities.
Rant off.
It has infected everything in this country! I saw this week that country music is now full on transvestite supporters and they are willing to turn a blind eye to the end game of these mentally ill men. I am for a national divorce from the left however it can be done.
The Tea Party morphed into MAGA.
I don’t normally mention religion on any website.
Bible study group yesterday (4/5) covered judges 16, 17 and 18.
That is the Sampson and Deliah story in 16.
Things have been bad in the past, they will be so again.
Faith, like the data will “set you free”.
Ahmen.
Excellent advice. Thanks,
We have to accept that God is sovereign and he makes the nations rise and fall. Many pray for the Lord to rescue this nation and turn it back to Him. Of course we want it to be quick and painless, but if God did not spare Israel, should we expect better? When Israel strayed it took harsh times to bring them back to the lord. These days are surely depressing as we revel in breaking God’s Law and surpassing Gomorrah in our rebellion. We are under Romans 1 judgement I fear, where we are given over to our own minds.

I have found myself fretting a lot recently, so I am guilty of faithlessness too. Fortunately Scripture addresses the situation and gives me comfort, particularly in Psalm 37. It’s somewhat long, but here’s a link.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=ps+37&version=ESV
And do not forget Psalm 46.
Ps 46:1-3,6
1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
Also:
Ps 146:3 Do not put your trust in princes,
in human beings, who cannot save.
Philippians 6&7 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
