I feel like I'm reliving the '70's all over again.

We have a clueless dumbass in the White House.

Iran is in an uproar. The dumbass ignores it.

The economy is in a shambles. Pretty soon GM will roll out its version of the Pinto.

This weekend I bought a pressure canner and am learning to can my own food since I soon won't be able to afford the electricity required to freeze and store food.

South and Central America are teeming once again with rebel Marxist thugs, "Guerrillas" and whatnot.

We still don't drill for our own oil and are therefore at the mercy of assortment Marxist dictators, thugs and pukes.

We are being threatened from every angle except maybe Canada in the north. Oh wait, I forgot that Russia already said they could just "take back" Alaska whenever they feel like it.

Yep, it's 1977 again. Did I miss anything?

Yes, what's different now is that our Congress doesn't even try to hide that they are illegally implementing treaties with the United Nations in the Cap and Trade bill. So instead of producing a treaty with the UN which the American people would never tolerate because in this case it gives authority over the executive branch of our government outright, they hide it in a supposed domestic energy bill called Cap and Trade.

That could NEVER have happened in the 1970's because American citizens hadn't been dumbed down by globalist school curricula and globalist college professors and agendas. However, what a difference a boat load of illegally allocated US taxpayer money and 30 to 40 years makes,eh?

We're older and most of us have more to lose. Otherwise, it's a repeat of a nightmare. I spoke with a young lady at a local store yesterday about the conditions during the Carter Administration and mentioned that the "Scare du jour" was global cooling. She was shocked. The kids aren't learning this stuff and their young votes are re-creating the mess of the Carter years. Arghhhhh.

“Did I miss anything?”

Doesn’t sound any different from the last 25 years to me.

You can only hope. You know what happened after the 70s.
