To see biological males win “woman of the year” awards and others compete against women in sports, and at least one paid to promote sports bras, it’s obvious the American mind has slipped a few gears. But our current troubles are about more than celebrating what is clearly a mental illness that needs to be treated. We have lost our way almost entirely across the board.
The locus of our insanity, one could argue, is Washington, D.C. The federal government developed a habit long ago of spending beyond its means. But the foolishness has reached new levels.
The federal debt is heading to $31.7 trillion like a freight train at full throttle with no brakes. Spending is outpacing revenue by more than $1.5 trillion. Social Security is headed for collapse sooner than its appointed guardians had expected, but the collective vision among our “leaders” on the Potomac doesn’t go beyond the next election. So nothing is done.
Despite the obvious problems, the Democrats want to tax higher and spend more. The supply of vacuity seems endless.
Washington is also at the axis of weaponized government. Free speech is being crushed, dissent from the left’s political agenda is considered an imprisonable offense, and court rulings are to be ignored if they offend progressive sensibilities (yes, we know, two words that don’t belong together). The Democrats see the IRS not as just a revenue collector but also as a truncheon with which to discipline those who refuse to live under their boots. Parents who grouse at school board meetings? They are of course terrorists who must be watched.
It’s no coincidence that we’re living in riotous times. The damage seems to build with every news cycle. But to listen to the Democrats and their communications department, also known as the mainstream media, the only riot in U.S. history was on Jan. 6, 2021. In their twisted minds, rampaging, killing, burning, and looting in the name of George Floyd, or some imagined resistance to fascism, are just benign elements of mostly peaceful protests. Democrats have even contributed money to bail out the “protesters.”....
The smaller "we" part of 1938 Germany were rounded up and put into camps. Don't be so sure "we" won't be among that group in a few years.
Maybe we can have a transgender, illegal immigrant for president too.
We will get an emperor, just like when the Roman Republic became an official empire. The question is whether they will be left or right emporer.
It will be LEFT, simply because that is what the young will install.
Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. Voltaire
There are really only two world views - atheistic naturalism and a Creator God. In the short term, the naturalist are winning
If you tell young people there is no meaning, there is no certainty, no absolutes, no justice, no hope, no future - only death awaits you and nothing after that. What is there to live for? Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow you die. It’s not the guns it’s the ideology and the lies.
In elementary school we said the pledge, read from the book of Psalms and recited the Lord’s Prayer in public school. Many high schools had gun clubs that met with teachers after school. Were there problems then? Of course. But things are much worse today. In the last century something like 200 million people were killed by their own governments - now ours is ‘progressing’ towards this end as well.
Remember the idiotic phrase, “You can’t legislate morality!”? Morality is the only thing you can legislate. A stop sign is a moral statement. So is drag queen story hour. Our laws are now enforcing and enshrining evil (evil being what God hates). People who reject God, his love and his absolutes (Don’t put your morality on me, sucker!) will fall for or be deceived by almost anything else. They have no basis for wisdom or for evaluating what happens in life. Trump won’t save us. There is no political solution for our current state. And, unfortunately, and I hope I’m wrong, I think as a nation we are past repentance. Still hope for individuals but as a nation it appears to me we are under God’s judgement. You have to wonder if we are not entering the time of the end the prophetic scriptures spoke of. The Bible describes it as the worst time in human history.
There is hope and a better day coming for those that love and seek to obey the Lord. But evil days ahead first. I hope this will both warn some and encourage others. Proverbs 3:5 & 6
How long would the emporer stay left?
It's that small minority of freaks who have taken over the government, the media, and the schools who have gone bat guano crazy.The Radical Left that has taken over the Democrat Party does not constitute a majority or even 48% of the country. The Radical Left is a minority but they have taken control of the reins of power.
If you think a majority of people and voters in the country are the type of people who would drink Woke Bud Light, I suggest that you go back to the drawing board and rethink this.
NPR/PBS/CBS/ABC/NBC/MSNBC/CNN/NYT/WP/LAT has this country eating out of their hands. Our country will say and behave in whatever manner they decide. The main stream media can make our people pretend to believe anything they want.
For well known folks going against whatever is being courted by the MSM, the risk of being of being mocked and ridiculed by the MSM is too severe. So, the celebrity types conform, and the low info types follow like cattle.
The emperor wouldn’t need to be either, would he? ;-D
“It’s that small minority of freaks”

Do you get out of your house?
Spent a few hours at the bureau of motor vehicles yesterday. It was crowded. I can pretty much guarantee after looking around, that me and my hubby were probably the only Trump voters in there. The pink and bright blue hair, woman with human skulls tatooed up and down her arms etc etc.......
Our world has changed so much in the past 10 years. More rapidly now. Do you think many Americans understand what a Constitutional Republic is even about?
Rest assured, one will pop up as a candidate any time now...
“rank and file and the police are with us.”
You are definitely wrong. Dead wrong.
So you think the majority of the police are with the “defund the police,” BLM, and antifa crowd?
‘It all started when we removed God from schools and now teach things that are immoral in the eyes of God...’
well, since Vitale v Engle happened in 1962, a mere 61 years ago, it would appear the God Himself isn’t too worried about it...
Every civilization has within its cultural base the seeds of its own destruction. Egypt—successful for so long was unwilling to change. Rome, was destroyed by corruption, “bread and circuses” Our desire to be nice to people who we see as victims of Society (That’s everyone folks). Our greed and selfishness will be our undoing. Why do the Democrats do this? Because it works. WE are no longer a Democracy but a Mediaocracy. A few slick commercials, a movie star endorsement or two and David Duke could be elected.
‘Let the following image of the Roman Forum remind us that nations rise and nations fall at God’s command.’
along with relentless series of attacks by neighboring tribes from the north...
‘So you think the majority of the police are with the “defund the police,” BLM, and antifa crowd?’’
since going forward recruits will more prominently feature these ‘oppressed’ groups, yeah, I think they will be in tight with that crowd...
It is not a small minority. They are increasing their ranks using our education system. Biden beat Trump in 2020 65-31 among voters 18-24. In 2022 Democrats outvoted Reps 63-35 among voters 18-29.
Adults under the age of 30 are about as likely to only have a positive view of socialism (28%) as they are to have a positive view of only capitalism (24%).
The Radical Left that has taken over the Democrat Party does not constitute a majority or even 48% of the country. The Radical Left is a minority but they have taken control of the reins of power.
The Democrats are the Radical Left. They march in lockstep to achieve their agenda.
