What do mask mandates, global shutdowns, and gender-neutral “theybies” have in common? They’re all new ideas, born of a new America — and they’ve come at a cost.
The decline of our country escalated with the Covid pandemic and Biden’s presidency. Family and friends are encouraged to snitch on one another, pledging loyalty not to each other, but instead to the state. Lockdowns and constant fear-mongering have caused suicide and overdose rates, even among children, to skyrocket. Inflation is at an all-time high, and America is once again kowtowing to China.
It’s difficult to look at the Brave New World around us and not reminisce about times gone by, longing for the old America — the America where kids played together, faces uncovered. Where the family was a priority and freedom was valued above all. That America now seems like a hazy dream, a sunny contrast to the weak, crime-ridden nation we see now.
But not all hope is lost. We remember that America. We built that America. And we can build it again, so long as we preserve the America we love for our children. Every single one of us can do something to achieve that, no matter how small.
Here are four ways YOU can help preserve America.
Vote with Your Wallet
Megacorporations are often the driving force behind leftist policies and ideas. Levis supports anti-Second Amendment gun control policies. Netflix promotes degeneracy through its shows (remember Cuties?). Nike proclaimed the Betsy Ross flag “racist,” and last year, CEO John Donahoe even said the company is “of and for China.”
Stop giving money to companies that hate you and your way of life. Hit their pocketbooks — it might just give them pause about jumping fully in bed with the left’s agenda.
Instead, give your money to local businesses, your church, or pro-American businesses.
Vote with Your Attention
Money isn’t the only way to hit back against woke companies. If any service is “free,” like social media or sports, that means you are the product. By giving them your attention, you are implicitly supporting their woke agendas.
Twitter censors free speech, with a bias against conservatives — including the 45th President of the United States. Mark Zuckerberg spent $419 Million to "get out the vote". During Pride Month, the NFL proudly proclaimed themselves “transgender.” And the Winter Olympics are just one big propaganda show for the Communist Party of China.
For social media, try out great free speech alternatives like GETTR, Rumble, and Locals. These platforms are standing up to the current cancel culture which dominates the mainstream platforms.
Take the Lead on Your Children’s Education
There is an obvious agenda to indoctrinate our children to be parrots of this new "progressive" agenda. This agenda has Marxist roots and it has been the game plan in nearly every communist country in history. Lenin laid out the left’s game plan:
“Give me just one generation of youth, and I’ll transform the whole world.”
Don’t let the state take your children from you. If you want to preserve the American values you grew up on, you better be aware of what your kids are learning eight hours a day, five days a week. Go to board meetings, talk to your teachers, look at your kids’ homework every day. If you can’t homeschool, supplement with additional lessons to fill any gaps in your child’s education.
Instead of letting your children watch woke television shows and read woke books, introduce your children to alternative options that combine incredible storytelling with teaching traditional values.
Take Your Family to Church
The war on religion has been one of the most effective demoralization tactics in nearly every communist country in history. In communist China, religion was effectively replaced with the “Cult of Mao.” Lenin said:
“Religion is the opium of the people. Religion is a sort of spiritual booze, in which the slaves of capital drown their human image, their demand for a life more or less worth.”
“Religion is the opium of the people. Religion is a sort of spiritual booze, in which the slaves of capital drown their human image, their demand for a life more or less worth.”
5. Read and heed my tagline.
Suspect there are too many stupid voters to sustain America. Am I too pessimistic?
Yes! Minimum: a rifle, a shotgun, and at least one handgun for every able-bodied member of the household, and plenty of ammunition.
6. Get out of the cities. That is where the boot will start stomping.
Other than these, the original #3 and especially #4 are of primary importance.
I would LIKE to answer:
"YES, you are being way too pessimistic.".
But sadly, I honestly cannot.

That was the old America. Much, much different country today.
So much so I no longer recognize the country I grew up in. All the "ingredients and conditions" that enabled our great success as a powerful, prosperous and free nation have been largely eroded by historical currents and aided by national indifference. The ethos of the American character is steadily fading.
The Founding Fathers cautioned us about what could happen and why vigilance and sacrifice was essential to keep our freedom. We have ignored their sage advise. We can't even manage to have a semblance of accountability in our government or society anymore. Without that essential ingredient there's little likelihood of recovering our erstwhile American greatness.
Most voters are uninformed and very easily misled.
Turning that widespread problem around in time to save the country is nearly impossible IMO.
Who is John Galt
Our problems are SYMPTOMS: We’ve joyfully evicted God from our nation, and our troubles naturally arise in that vacuum of wickedness.
As our hearts continue to harden, and our pride increases; worse will come...
ONLY when we repent of our self love, our ‘phone worship’ and our secret sins, and call out to Jesus Yeshua for forgiveness and faith for a new life, and a new heart, will God begin healing our land.
We remember that America. We built that America. And we can build it again

And I’m sorry, but I’m going to say it. Way too many foreign folks coming in and voting, as well as intermixing with uninformed and indoctrinated American public-educated and many stoned, high, and drug addled fools.
Basically, with that, we’re done. They don’t care about America or any of it’s “old white man’s” values. They are here for the take, and that’s it. We will soon resemble the countries they all snuck over our borders from, and the world beyond our borders is going to become a very dark and evil place. No more strong America to the rescue ...as we are seeing now in front of our eyes.
My only hope at this point is waiting on the Lord to return, and hopefully soon.
There's the tragic flaw that allowed the rise and guarantees the collapse of the American Empire.
A nation’s social fabric is a delicate thing. It can only take so much stress and abuse before it unravels.
Just saying.
Perhaps you are too pessimistic, but did you see the 3rd item?
Take the Lead on Your Children’s Education
My four recommendations for the moment:
1. Kill Putin
2. Kill Lukashenko
3. Hold free elections in Russia
4. Hold free elections in Belarus
“Suspect there are too many stupid voters to sustain America”.
Every four years, there are more of them...
UNDER DIRECT, INTENTIONAL ATTACK.
"...it’s “old white man’s” values..."
This 57yo 'old white man' is not going to start another business
under the current system. Doing so is tantamount to
committing suicide - or at the very least inflicting
significant self-harm - in terms of physical and mental
health, along with quite possibly financial well being - if one
is going to be crushed by agencies of government, or sued
into oblivion by parasites.
So are we - can we - 'Restore American Greatness' under
these circumstances?
No. The circumstances need to be changed for that to happen.
And I have witnessed myself how those individuals
who attempt to bring about those changes get destroyed.
I see the price they have paid, and are paying.
You may point out the price(s) paid by America's founders.
And we - and the entire human race - owe them an immense
debt of gratitude. They left their home countries to flee
oppression and the crippling of human freedom and the human spirit.
But they had the distance of oceans to separate them from
their oppressive tyrants.
We have no such luxury. So - shall individual liberty and personal
freedom now only be preserved/regained by people fleeing this planet?
Is that the only (secular) hope now? Eh?
Unless we secure the border and restore the rule of law there won’t be an America to save.
It will have been turned into North Mexico, just as Daddy Bush planned.
The Founders gave us a republic.
A great framework for national vitality and success never previously seen in this world.
But we couldn’t keep it.
Franklin’s admonition has come true.
None of that stops both parties from stealing our country from us by flooding it with foreigners.
