America Is Reaching A Boiling Point

America Is Reaching A Boiling Point

I am deeply saddened by what is happening to our country. America is reaching a boiling point, and it appears that we have entered a new era of civil unrest in which political violence will become the norm. At this moment in our history, we should all be denouncing political violence as loudly as we can. Unfortunately, there are many voices that are loudly calling for more political violence. I have been warning that this time would come for so many years, and now it is here. The “left” deeply hates the “right”, and the “right” deeply hates the “left”. But how is a bitterly divided nation supposed to thrive? How is it even supposed to survive? Those that founded this country shared a common set of core values, but today there are no core values that still unite us, because the core values that our founders believed in so strongly have been abandoned. In fact, in so many ways America is now the complete opposite of what our founders intended.

Decades ago, we would laugh at the pathetic nations that were constantly plagued by political violence.

Now we are one of those nations.

A man in New Hampshire was just arrested for threatening to use homemade pipe bombs to assassinate New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte

A ponytailed New Hampshire man has been arrested after allegedly plotting to assassinate the state’s Republican governor with a ‘weapon of mass destruction.’

Tristan Anderson, 22, is accused of threatening to kill Governor Kelly Ayotte with homemade pipe bombs.

According to investigators, Anderson made the chilling threats to his roommate on Snapchat, bragging about his plans and showing off the materials he intended to use.

Hopefully authorities will lock up that nut for a long time, but the truth is that there are millions of others just like him.

For example, a crazed leftist at Oberlin College has boldly proclaimed that we “need to bring back political assassinations”

A radical leftist student at Oberlin College casually called for political assassinations to continue in the wake of the targeted killing of political activist Charlie Kirk last week, according to an online post she made.

“We need to bring back political assassinations,” said Julia Xu in a social media post, where her handle is @bringbacktheguillotine.

“I don’t feel bad and I don’t think that everyone deserves the right to free speech. Some people should be afraid to express their opinion in public.”

That is sick.

If you have not seen the footage of her making these comments yet, you can find it on YouTube.

So where did she get such horrifying ideas?

Well, it turns out that her thinking has been greatly influenced by Chairman Mao

Xu is on the advisory board of campus group the Gender, Sexuality and Attraction Initiatives, an office that supports queer, trans and women’s programming at the school. Xu, who uses they/them pronouns, is also a member of Students for a Free Palestine.

Xu said she made the comments about Kirk, who was assassinated during a student debate at Utah Valley University in Orem last week, after being given five minutes for “hot takes” during her “Revolution, Socialism and Reform in China” class.

She said her statement was influenced by her learnings about Chairman Mao, then went on to misguidedly (and perhaps inadvertently) praise the Chinese leader’s authoritarianism.

There are many on the left that would be thrilled if the United States was transformed into another version of communist China.

And a lot of them are openly admitting that blood must be spilled to accomplish that goal. In fact, a tax collector in Pennsylvania has openly admitted that she is “so tired of being told” that violence isn’t the answer…

Ambler, PA tax collector and local Democratic Party leader calls for MORE ass*ssinations and violence

“I’m so tired of being told that violence isn’t into the answer. History is filled with blood. Let’s make some more myrtys.”

SHE NEEDS TO RESIGN.

All over social media, there are people that are talking about a violent uprising.

That should chill you to the core.

In response, the Trump administration plans to crack down on left-wing organizations.

In fact, President Trump just announced that Antifa will be officially designated as a terrorist organization

President Trump announced Wednesday that he will designate antifa as a terrorist organization, and is recommending investigations into people who allegedly fund it.

It’s unclear when the designation will take place, or what legal implications it will have. Antifa — short for anti-fascist — is a loose affiliation of mostly left-leaning activists, and generally is not considered to be a highly organized group.

I don’t think that people understand what this means.

During previous administrations, terrorists have been shipped off to Guantanamo Bay to be tortured and hunted down by predator drones.

In his post announcing this change on Truth Social, President Trump explained that Antifa will now be deemed to be “A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION”

I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Of course Antifa does not hand out membership cards.

So how will it be determined whether leftist protesters are part of Antifa or not?

There are so many unanswered questions.

But what we do know is that the temperature is rising in this country, and it got even hotter when Jimmy Kimmel was suddenly pulled off the air

After ABC’s suspension of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” over the comedian’s comments on Charlie Kirk, reactions have been swift, and many question remain.

The Walt Disney-owned network confirmed on Wednesday, Sept. 17, that it has indefinitely pulled Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show following comments he made on a Sept. 15 episode regarding the fatal shooting of the conservative commentator.

I don’t understand why he was still on the air.

He was supposed to be a comedian, but he simply was not funny.

Maybe that is why so few people were still watching him.

ABC decided to make this move because Kimmel suggested that Charlie Kirk’s shooter was part of “the MAGA gang”

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” he said.

Jimmy Kimmel should have known better than to say something like that, because everyone knows that it isn’t true.

So his employer held him accountable.

But all over BlueSky, liberals are freaking out as if some major turning point in our history has just happened. Here is one example

First, Stephen Colbert. Now Jimmy Kimmel. Is it sinking in now? Do you all get it now? We now live in an authoritarian dictatorship. The United States of America as we know it is OVER for everyone.

There are a lot of things that are going on in this country that are worth getting tremendously upset about.

The cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel is not one of them.

But Rosie O’Donnell believes that this nation “is no more” now that Jimmy Kimmel is off the air…

O’Donnell lamented on Instagram: “this is unacceptable – f— this fascist administration and corrupt corporate executives – bowing to the orange monster – america is no more .”

She is not rational.

Unfortunately, we have reached a point where vast segments of the U.S. population are not rational.

And when people are not thinking rationally, violence can erupt.

When asked about what just happened to Jimmy Kimmel, actor Jason Bateman had some very ominous things to say

‘Well, it’s troubling to say the least,’ the A-list star said. ‘And we all have to really take a moment and figure how we feel about this type of thing.

‘Especially, people doing what you do.

‘I’m sure there’s going to be some sort of collective move to respond to this, but I’m not smart enough or powerful enough to be the one to do it but I imagine there’s plenty of conversations going on to do something, because you just can’t stand by and let stuff like that go on.’

Exactly what did he mean when he said that “you just can’t stand by and let stuff like that go on”?

If he suggesting what it sounds like he is suggesting?

Everyone needs to take a step back and cool down for a while.

But of course that isn’t going to happen, is it?

2025 is the moment when our national boiling point is being reached, and things are only going to get crazier from here.

We are no doubt in the Fourth Great Awakening. In prior great awakenings there was always pushback. Some of it very violent. No one should be surprised to see it happening again. In fact, I say it should encourage us to all the more get on our knees in prayer, read the Bible, live it like we mean it, and be as bold about telling others about God as the left is about killing babies, bitterness, race baiting, and encouraging violence.

Pray but also pack. Charlie showed that faith doesn’t make you bullet proof.

The student loans party of the American people, and the government is the bank holding the notes.

There are people in their sixties with student loans. The federal government employees retirement plans are the largest holder of those student loans.

It's like the used car lot that holds the note on your crappy car and your cost to drive it off the lot is insanely expensive for a car that has no to little value.

The “left” deeply hates the “right”, and the “right” deeply hates the “left”.

*************

That’s a bit of a simplification. Fundamentally, the Left wants to control everything. Conversely, the Right wants to be free of such coercion and dominance. There is no reconciling those opposing differences.

Our country was founded on the principles of individual liberty and limited government. We have been steadily moving away from those underlying concepts for a long time and are now at something of a crossroads. One or the other will prevail. In the meantime, a major culture war is exacerbating our political differences.

We are living in “interesting times”.

The left will resort to violence...it’s only a matter of when. However, when they do start it, the only question of importance is whether or not we choose to end them.

Better to finally reach the boiling point than to simmer endlessly in a putrid leftist stew.

I agree. How do you reunite with monsters? I don’t want to reunite with the communists I want to defeat them. The left wing is now totally communist. They offer nothing of value. They are a threat to humanity.

That, indeed, will be the pivotal question. Half measures will be our certain downfall.

The old saying is still pertinent: "When you strike at a king, you must kill him."

Libtards losing their minds as they have to deal with reality does not mean America is at a boiling point.

No amount of “denouncing political violence” will affect the insane leftists at all. They will have to feel pain, and not the kind that comes from misuse of preferred pronouns.

In Kurt Schlicter’s new book, “American Apocalypse: The Second Civil War” his character ‘Carlos Spiers’ president of the red ‘Free American States’ (which defeats the blue “USA”) says there were only three options: 1. ‘I’m free, you’re free: Everything’s free!’ 2. the left runs everything, or, 3. American conservatives take control.
His chapters on the war are pretty damned depressing. There’s nothing civil about a civil war.
