This republic has changed dramatically in recent years -- politically, morally, and, perhaps most significantly, demographically.
Section 15 of the Virginia Declaration of Rights (a precursor to The Declaration of Independence) that was adopted by the Virginia Constitutional Convention on June 12, 1776, states: “That no free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue and by frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.”
Does that appear to be the case today?
Let’s go item by item. Clearly, many of us are not firmly adhered to justice. Those on The Left routinely take the side of arsonists, thieves, rapists and even murderers as opposed to law enforcement … or those who have been the victims of arsonists, thieves, rapists and even murderers.
Moreover, a two-tiered system of justice has taken hold nationally, in which members of certain groups are deliberately treated differently than others.
Moderation? There’s a cannabis dispensary on every street corner, liquor stores are open on Sundays, fentanyl kills scores of thousands annually, some states hand out free crack pipes, gambling is systemic and ubiquitous, most of us cannot stop looking at our smart phones, and many more are addicted to video games and/or porn.
Next up is frugality. O.K., I can’t even write the word with a straight face. The U.S. is nearing 40-trillion dollars in debt and spends substantial sums of money on things like an Iraqi version of Sesame Street. On an individual level, most of us are determined to get that new Apple iPhone or big screen television whether we need — or can afford — it or not.
On to virtue. See the aforementioned for starters. There is entirely too much virtue-signaling and not nearly enough actual virtue

A war is not going to be won if the army is made up of people making individual choices.
My guess is that it is closer to $1 Trillion. And yes, that includes Defense.
All because donald trump did NOTHING about voter fraud.
Obama
“ All because donald trump did NOTHING about voter fraud.”
No one here and not you would explain the remedy he would take in, not even step by step, not general outline but broad plan
I will get flamed 8 times but no one will explain it
Barry promised fundamental transformation. He was not alone in that goal. He was just the front man, like he said.
Fundamental means structural. Destroy the structural basis of our society. Mofo brought destruction to our country and now lives the life of luxury.
He deserves a life in the lowest level of hell.
And right on time:
“🚨 BREAKING: DNI TULSI GABBARD was just spotted at the Fulton County GA election site raided by the FBI involving likely 2020 election fraud — as ballots were seized and computers were examined”
Why in good conscience I no longer support the Second Amendment.
My views on gun rights are now quite simple. Take away guns from my enemies. Give guns to those who want to kill my enemies.
We're in a war. I don't support my enemies being armed because I know they'll take away my guns once they're in power. They've promised as much.
The most serious thing I see is the complete breakdown of rule of law. Democrats enjoy near complete immunity from prosecution for outright treason, murder, theft of tens of billions of dollars, rioting, election fraud... you name it.
Judges quickly kill those cases, and the few that go to a jury are sure to get a hung jury or acquittal.
Meanwhile, Republicans are held to the most strict imaginable version of the law. Two examples, Trump was convicted in cases where he was clearly innocent and being framed. Hillary was guilty in an open and shut case of election fraud, charitable fraud in Haiti, Bribery and classified document handling. She never saw a courtroom and never will.
The Jan 6 cases. Republicans were hounded, raided by SWAT teams at 5am. They were berated by screaming judges, imprisoned for years in solitary where they lived in filth, had medical needs ignored, froze, denied lawyer access, and worse. When pardoned the prisons simply refused to honor the pardons until forced by extraordinary processes. Some J6ers were arrested even though they were not in DC that day... but the WERE in chat groups that supported the protest.
Meanwhile in Minnesota, the Governor and Lt Governor, various staffers and state legislators operated clandestine Signal chat groups that organized and directed violent resistance to Federal Law Enforcement. They will never see a courtroom despite actually doing what the J6ers were only accused of.
We are under anarcho-tyranny now. Democrats can do anything with no fear of the law. Conservatives cannot find justice in the courts at all.
The courts are packed with communist judges, a shocking number of which are radical females, foreigners and moslems... groups that rule on emotion, whims, and foreign America hating ideas.
It’s the most dangerous thing we face.
“One thing the red-green coalition has not yet attempted to do: seize the firearms of the law-abiding citizens.”
They are, but they are doing it in insidious ways. Many National Forests and BLM area are not “no shooting” zones and people are being corralled into designated shooting areas.
Self defense is being attacked in over half the country to the point that you’ll be ruined if you actually use a firearm. Rittenhouse is only one example.
In other places you cannot buy certain firearms, or easily obtain ammo.
We are closer than people think to being able to own firearms in your closet... but it’ll be hell to pay if you use it for defense, if someone finds out you have it, or if you want to go out shooting.
If we lose our guns, it won’t be by door to door raids, but by making everything you do with them illegal, including self defense. We must guard against THAT hard.

Won’t be no fighting to do, because they won’t be dumb enough to do door to door confiscation, with some minor exceptions. For the most part, they know what you own. There will be a fine of $1,000/day for failure to turn over your firearms when required to do so. Within 90 days, they will place liens on your property, garnish your income, freeze your bank accounts. It will simply be a waiting game. When the electric gets cut and you are unable to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads, most spouses will pack up and head to moma dn dads. The toys will begin disappearing, the house gone. No, the left is patient and relentless. They stop at nothing to get what they want. Make no mistake, when the time comes for them to have the guns, the average American’s love of peaceful slavery will dictate compliance. Those that don’t comply will be ruined and rendered impotent to do a damned thing but rant and rave about government tyranny, kinda like we do today.
Got a problem with Jews?
You have gotten to the heart of the matter, its the Marxist-Communists.
It appears God is handing us over to the sodomites because of our sins. 😔 Christians should have an exit strategy
Father Ripperger explains under Satan there are 5 General that execute his plans
Well, for one, they just completely took over Virginia.
Yesterday, the FBI set up crime scene tape around a warehouse in Fulton County, GA, with a search warrant to seize ballot and election material from 2020, held in protective custody since 1/6/21.
They don’t have to. Unless millions of citizens were to oppose a tyrannical government with force at once, those few here or there who tried would simply be killed or arrested. No one wants to be out there on a limb by themselves, so the large majority of sane Americans who still believe in what America was before the leftists corrupted it just sit back, paralyzed, and watch the country go down the drain.
Beyond even that, the American Revolution ultimately succeeded because there were enough very wise men in positions of authority that they were able to lead it. We have precious few true leaders today. We have one for sure, but beyond Trump there is just a small handful of completely dependable, courageous and wise representatives in the government.
It is the people who claim to be followers of Satan's Enemy, the Lord Jesus Christ, that are turning their dominance over to the anarchy of the wicked grabbers. These so-called "Christians" were designated to be ambassadors sent by Him to make disciples, induct them into the Company of the Committed, and train them to war against their enemies who are: the old liar Devil, his demons, the world of depraved people and their government systems, false "Christians," and lasrly, their own undisciplined selves.
These supposed "Christians" are first ignoring, then tolerant, then cooperating, then overwhelmed having become willing deluded subjects of the enemies of God.
Be warned: this is not going to last forever. In history, there have been enough determined self-sacrificing people banding together long enough to partially overcome the enemies of their beliefs and peaceful culture to show glimpses of what that life might be like, but they have failed in the commission to whom the All-Powerful Resurrected Christ and Savior has delegated his authority and power to overcome sin and Sin's master, Satan; but they have failed to fully recruit and train disciples from their children to follow in their steps, to multiply and replace them when Heaven calls.
They have attempted to reform born sinners by enticing them to change their habits, rather than guiding them into acknowledge their total inability to transform themselves through a change of mind and cling to God. Their true need has been to confess their own personal depravity, to beg the Savior to rescue them, to have an open mind and be fully convinced in His ability to transform them by new birth in the spiritual realm, to recognize their new state as a new entity with the power to overcome the enemy as warriors of the gospel of eternal life.
America has had its chance, initially faltering but did experience a great relogios awakening spreading throughout the nation toward Christ-like living. But these died, their progeny came, and a flooding of foreigners without this Bible=based foundation began to swamp out the peak of general morality. General fulsome attendance to the Word of God abated. But coming forward, our religious base has exercised too much tolerance for sinful activity, trading the stoicism of personal righteousness such that one might endeavor to gain possessions with the phony promise of an easy life that would not concurrently need costly diligence to please their Master and His Heavenly Father. Seems that mostly they thought that mere regular appearance wiyld meet God's righteous demands of their commitment. Wrong.
There are still many who have turned to God from their old life, and some also who have been rescued from it as a child and never begun it. But the major denominations have all bogged down and lost their spiritual power and holiness through the false compassion of a "social gospel" and not stuck to the sternness required for spiritual victory here and now.
The signs are growing, events prophesied that cannot be ignored without great pain, that the end of millennia of earth's general yielding to Satan's enticements is very near.
This is prophesied throughout Scripture, revealed in the New Testament, that the Savior will come to this dimension in two stages: (1) a private onefor His saints, drawing them away in the clouds back to /his Heavenly City for their preparation, then (2) With them as His Warriors, in t public stage, to conquer resistance, imprison His Adversary, and install His Own Earthly Kingdom of Righteousness and Peace.
But note, in this second stage, when He comes, it will be with peace, but not in peace, for it will be a great bloody war to vanquish the humans who hate Him, and will die to resist being vanquished. And His saints , His Bride, will take part in this:
Revelation 19:11-21 (AV):
11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
17And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
