The clock shows one minute before midnight. This is it. No exaggeration. But that clock isn’t illustrating the time Earth has left until it is consumed by man-caused climate change. Instead, it is telling us how little time remains before the United States, erstwhile land of the free and home of the brave, becomes just another sterile authoritarian state. Before it is too late to reign in a tyrannical government that has made a mockery of the Founders’ vision of limited government of, by, and for the people. A government that is now openly of, by, and for itself. A government that is rapidly becoming as opaque, dishonest and abusive as those it used to challenge and even fight.
No one likes a pessimist, but the only chance we have to preserve “the last best hope” is to be totally, brutally honest with ourselves. Now. Right this moment. Lest we one day soon be relegated, as Ronald Reagan warned, to “telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
Radical progressives and Democrats, but I repeat myself, have carefully crafted a society in which they hold all the power, pull all the levers, and call all the shots. They also dictate the parameters of every argument, even if that “argument” always—and only—consists of shouting “racism” and “intolerance” at anyone with whom they disagree. Talk about projection. Being honest means also acknowledging that Republicans, particularly of the RINO variety, have allowed this to happen. This should be intolerable. Period. No matter what.

There is no “rapidly becoming” ... we have already arrived.
We are teetering on the ballot box/cartridge box solution, and time will tell how events unfold.
My Husband did one tour in Korea right after the war when he was a very young guy, 3 tours in Germany and 2 in Vietnam.
The Chinese may use their solar panels domestically rather than sell them for Biden bucks.

T”...alk about projection. Being honest means also acknowledging that Republicans, particularly of the RINO variety, have allowed this to happen...”
THAT’S the real issue in all this.
For decades, we have been allowed the illusion of self government ...but no REAL voice.
The two party system caved already... so no one speaks for us
Such miserable people. Perpetually offended. Always angry about something.
The desire to save the world usually fronts a desire to rule it.
My grandfather was a "doughboy" in WWI, and my father served on a troop transport and minesweeper during Korea.
My grandpa never talked about his service, although I doubt he suffered from PTSD.
My father's ships were never under fire, so he had some amusing stories. The minesweeper had large scissors which clipped the chains holding the mines down.
When the mines floated up, they shot at them from a distance until they exploded or sank.
