What has happened to our country? It’s amazing, the insanity leftists can get away with today.
American Thinker ^ | 24 May, 2026 | Bob Weir

When I think about the changes I’ve seen in this great nation over the course of my life, I’m stunned at the many bizarre deviations that have occurred right under my nose. Did I not see it coming? Was I so confident that the U.S. would always be rooted in moral values that I let down my guard?

Looking back, I’m reminded of the maxim about the frog placed in a pot of comfortable room-temperature water while the heat gradually turns up until the frog is boiled alive. How many of us are so comfortable that we pay scant attention to the rising fever of corruption that has become SOP?

Certainly, if you’ve lived through the past few decades, you’ve seen a steady decline in the cultural and moral values that most of us grew up with. During our younger years, we would have been shocked out of our shorts to hear some of the mind-boggling concepts that have been insinuated into our lexicon.

Imagine attending a social function in the late seventies or early eighties and hearing someone say, “I heard that Mike had that sex change operation and is now a woman. He’s planning to get pregnant before the end of the year.” Everyone within earshot would have turned toward the voice and thought someone was beginning a comedy routine. However, if that person had continued talking seriously about it, the guests would surely think the speaker was suffering from a mind-altering drug. Moreover, the host would have been questioned as to how such an oddball got an invitation to a party with normal folks. There wouldn’t be anyone trying to make sense of such gibberish by attempting to reason with the weirdo.

Those were the days when we weren’t so tolerant of aberrant misfits.

The left is in a battle against truth in defiance of God.

Yup! ‘TDS extremists” (ted-exers or tedsies) have pretty much free reign to do as they please. Supported, excused, promoted by the media.

The RAT Party of Death staged yet another attempt on the White House. And they call us Nazis. They need to look in the mirror if they want to see Nazis. Start with their boy with the mental problems running for the Senate up in Maine.

The LMS (Lame Stream Media) has been one of the primary causes in the decline of our country...

Unfortunately, if the Democrats take the mid-terms, house and senate, as is looking likely, it’s gonna get a whole lot worse..

They’ll stymie every plan Trump has for the rest of his term in office.

“When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion – when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing – when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors – when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you – when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice – you may know that your society is doomed. “

Marxism - The religion of the malcontents.

I think the reason for all of the gender change push is to produce more malcontents.

Just look at Chicago - The yewts took over an entire neighborhood last night - The Chicago Cops just stood there and watched - two CPD officers were run over by the “teens” - The Mayor proclaimed that you can’t arrest your way out of crime...

Conservatives got fat and lazy, and quit voting.

Plus, no one has the courage to simply slap some nutjob who attacks them.

A Mommy dog does a better job to dealing with savages than most “parents”.
