America 'unrecognizable' and on the brink of collapse, experts warn: 'Turning on our own legacy'.
Fox News ^ | 2.7.2023 | Taylor Penley

Is America dying before our eyes? All societies eventually collapse – from the classical civilizations of Ancient Rome and Greece to the ever-alarming decline of modern America, could the past be hinting at what's in store? With skyrocketing inflation, political division, social unrest and a relentless effort to wipe away the fundamental principles of the nation, historians and scholars in Fox Nation's "American Requiem" series offer an elegy for what the country used to be and warn of what it has become.

The real “fight” hasn’t even begun, and we’re being invaded by millions of criminal, illegal alien invaders.

If all illegal aliens had the same uniform on, we’d look like a country under occupation.

The Deep State & Swamp are worldwide, and far too vast to neutralize. DJT’s Admin was proof of that. Everywhere he turned, he got stabbed in the back. Still is.

An avalanche of lies in the past 7-8 years seems to have desensitized the U.S. population already possessed of a deeply ingrained normalcy bias. All of this seems to have robbed them of the healthy impulse to believe and support the truth when it is right in front of their face, r, when they can plainly see that a cloud of squid ink and propaganda has descended upon them, eagerly and doggedly to pursue the truth.

Each of the series' three episodes focuses on an issue that contributes to the disastrous recipe for further decline - including crime, division, demoralization, and how the way each element continues to run riot could signal a possible collapse of American society as a whole.

"[People] have
lost the hope that the future for America will be brighter than its past," Heritage Foundation President Dr. Kevin Roberts lamented.

Ezekiel 37

8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.

***

“We want to live without God ‘telling us what to do’

ONLY by repenting of our sins, and calling out in faith to God, thru Jesus the Christ, will begin the healing of our nation. This means ALL of us.”

Unfortunately, that WON’T happen...

The dark, worthless doom-and-gloom-negative-waves are being served up and gobbled down like candy and snorted up like crack. A day without bad news is like a day without sunshine. The industry keeps piling it on, because you know... otherwise the folks might not be aware of how horrible it is out there!

The Can't-Do destroyers of hope arise every day on a mission to shut out the light and suck all the oxygen out of the room while they're at it.

As if people need to be told how bad it is out there, at a time when evil is camped out on every corner.

It's like the pigeons in the parks and open plazas... a blind man could reach out and grab one.

Yet leave it to corrupt actors to devise a way to sell them, and control the market.

You'd think people would have caught on to the perpetual-paralysis, Establishment con by now, the con of convenienly kicking the "Can" down the road, generation after generation.

The Establishment messiah (pick a flavor) is *never* going to arrive to save the world. That's the point. There's big business in all the beatdowns ("Y'all are a bunch of hopeless sinners!"), with the promise of peace and security that's just over the horizon, the elusive gold at the end of the rainbow. The goalpost keeps moving.

Classic MO of a domestic abuser. The abused will repent of whatever tripped off the abuser on any particular day, then it's all cuddly "grace" and "forgiveness" until the next transgression. Rinse and repeat. If only...

When the genuine Can-Do Messiah shows up to lead the way forward, up and out (for all to follow and emulate), the lightning bolt epiphany hits and then it's GAME OVER.

And then comes the shocking realization that the Temple had been built in secret in broad daylight, using all of the little people and details that the dark side never thought important, or denigrated, despised, and discarded outright. Restoration through ingenuity -- it's the good soul and spirit of the operation.

Matthew 13

34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

Johnny Cash. Now there was an American. He sang out the Temple plans, expaining it One Piece at a Time like a thief.

In God We Trust.

It's the good news that's right on the money, but who's looking there.

God Bless America

Even or especially with the famous Bakersfield Sound:

Bring it to Jesus

King David had a real ear for music.

The Lord is the same yesterday, today and forever.... He doesn’t change.

Incorrigible!

impervious to correction by punishment or pain
determined, unalterable

Can-Do!

The old republic officially died at the Appomattox C.H. in 1865.

I saw this sign at a pro 2A rally once.

"Freedom can only be maintained at a velocity above 2300 fps."

I get it now.

I turned off American TV and only watch Chinese and Korean dramas. THAT is, unbelievably and unfortunately, where there are still our early values. You can see a creep at the edges and you know that Hollywood values will EVENTUALLY get to them but, for the time being, the only good and moral television to watch isn’t from this country anymore. Chinese and Korean dramas defend the moral values we almost took for granted in the past, and regret losing in the present. It seems totally absurd, but is completely true.

As for confronting the left, I do respond to every idiotic email sent by progressive friends. Reasoning with my friends doesn’t work. Their beliefs are like a religion that is recited on NPR until they can regurgitate it like dogma. Rational people suspend reason and some topics, like CRT, become sacred and can’t even be discussed. So I give back my own list of sacred topics, top of which is Trump. No friend talks against Trump to me for any reason, ever!

There are also a lot of Russian shows on YouTube, like that, they have nothing to do with Putin or anything. But there’s certainly no faggotry on them.
