How America Became La La Land
American Greatness ^ | 20 Apr, 2022 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 04/21/2022 4:38:30 AM PDT by MtnClimber

America these last 14 months resembles a dystopia. It is becoming partly the world of George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, partly the poet Homer’s land of the Lotus-Eaters.

Nothing seems to be working. And no one in control seems to care.

The once secure border of 2020 vanished. Two-million people have crossed the southern border illegally in the last twelve months. Millions more are on the way.

The Biden Administration unilaterally and simply destroyed existing immigration law.

What followed was surreal. The administration claimed COVID was again on the horizon. So it justified forcing American citizens to keep wearing masks in public buildings and transportation. But at the same time, it waived all such requirements for illegal entrants.

Citizens who obeyed our laws had to mask up; foreign nationals who broke them did not need to take such precautions.

Biden blasted as near-criminals mounted border guards who used long reins to steady their horses. When investigations cleared them of wrongdoing, he went mute. This administration apparently sees its own American law enforcement at the border as criminals, and non-Americans who break our laws as their moral superiors.

Biden then concocted the perfect recipe for bringing back the inflation of the 1970s.

Print more money. Run up multitrillion-dollar annual deficits. Borrow trillions on top of a $30 trillion national debt. Send generous checks to workers for staying home. Shrug at historic disruptions of the supply chain.

When reminded that his deliberate policies are the classic roads to inflation, Biden went fetal and ignored the warnings. Or he lashed out and blamed anyone and anything for his own suicidal agendas.

First, we heard inflation was transitory. Then it was a mere concern of the elite. Then it was only a matter of exercise equipment being in short supply.

The lesson is that children must be taught about the foolishness of following the loony pied pipers of the left.

Deliberate destruction of America.

Blatantly stealing the 2022 elections will also contribute to the destruction of America — either they get away with it, or else we start a revolution. For the people pulling the strings, either outcome is a Win.

Listen closely when the Deputy tell what the cartels are paying to have these Wetbacks picked up and taken to Phoenix, a sanctuary city.
By the way, Pinal County is a not a border county, just a ‘pass-through county’

I often wonder if Rush would tell us it’s time to shut off the lights. ??

A strong majority of Americans believe President Biden is compromised by or probably compromised.

The Chinese call the strategy "elite capture". They have been working it for 40 years.

If your friend is like a typical Democrat these days, the facts outlined in the article won't faze him/her one bit.

Commies never slow down. They simply attack relentlessly.

I believe the capture is by radical environmentalists, Union leaders and Black unequal’s. Every thing Biden has done is to pander or kiss the ass of these groups.

No, America is living Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged with good chunk of Orwell's 1984 thrown in for good measure.

Sounds just like the place where I work.

“Homer’s land of the Lotus-Eaters.”

So THAT’s where the name for Carl Benjamin’s (”garbage human”) yt channel comes from.

Thx!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With the complete cooperation of Bush League Republicans.

The Bush Plan for North Mexico has been the top priority bipartisan policy of the last 30 years.

Re-electing Amnesty Senators is national suicide.

No. Rush wouldn’t say it’s time to panic. The woke fad is coming to an end. People are done with Covid. Parents are taking back school boards.
