Soon we will be mourning for real.

Enjoy your last days of the American Republic. So many here on FR are wasting their time and energy in the Trump-Never Trump conversation.

Our real enemy is the National Debt, which is careening to $40 trillion, with no speed bumps to slow it down.

Albert Einstein is quoted as saying, “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it... he who doesn't... pays it”

It won't be long before annual interest on the debt will be twice the defense budget. When that happens, everyone's ox will have to be gored, but the Legislative Branch isn't up to the task.

I no longer have a reason to vote. My formerly purple district is now a 75% Democrat district, thanks to redistricting. Both of my Senators, Cornyn & Cruz, haven't been much help, either.

Nearly 70, I'm still working, to pay down my debt and invest in lead.

This isn't an opus, just my observations on the world we live in.

Don't give up.

Whatever hardships we face, they are so nothing compared with what the Founding Fathers had.

The despair you are having is the result of the various psyops being played upon you by the Rats, the Commies, the Elites, the Globalists.

Ignore their psyops games and stay in the fight.

If you are 70 then you still have 20 good years left in your carcass. So quit whining.

Said our INTEREST…just interest mind you….payment on our debt is approaching 1 trillion a year now.

It's definitely near the top, if not at the top. Trump raised the debt a staggering 40% in just 4 years, far and away more than anyone ever. He's still campaigning on government handouts and big government.

We've been co-opted, and unless someone like DeSantis can get in there and exert some control, not only on the financial collapse of the country, but also the ongoing moral collapse of the country, that Trump represents as well, we'll be both morally and financially broke before much longer.

But, sometimes you have to hit rock bottom, for your mistakes to become clear, and you finally change course back to what works - God's rules of humility and frugality. I think that day is coming as well.
