Even more surprising than the failing efforts of the Would-Be Masters of the Universe is their inability to accept the possibility of defeat. If there were any realists in their ranks, they would have been a little more mature and thorough in their planning, including a way out. Several ways out. They burnt all their bridges long ago. Where would Hillary flee, for example...Haiti? They are destroying the peaceful, prosperous US with immigration....where will they go when it's gone? New Zealand is too easily starved out, even with bunkers full of everlasting dried food. And what kind of medical staff would put up with that kind of life? The servants and minions would take them out. Robots are notoriously useless, if their programming needs tweaking, who will do it?

Their political machinations do not rise above the level of cranky two-ear-olds. The sense of entitlement, their superiority over all the rest of the US and the world, their arrogance, reminds me of the Age of Kings. Several attempts, and no permanent success.

I am also surprised that there isn't any back-stabbing going on, any factionalism. It takes a lot of money to keep so many fools so quiet. There's a real lack of talent and no evidence of debate among them. One chief to rule them all? Who is this chief? Either the Rockefellers have been subtle, or the leadership is concealing from its party faithful the extent of the trap they are walking into.

It's a great time to live for history buffs. The rest of us, not so great.

Why do these people never have to flee in helicopters with money trailing across the runway? It really makes me question the American character. Even unarmed Sri Lankans made their president flee then rooted through his underwear drawer before burning down his house. What the hell is wrong with us?

Well Doc, I'll have a go at it. America has been blessed, and that has become, in the course of human events, a curse. We have not suffered like your Sri Lankans, or the noble Russians, or the Eastern Europeans, or even yes the Iranians. And I could go on.

I fear for my country because we don't know what suffering is. We made it thru the Great Depression without having to truly suffer like other folks have. Or the Civil War. Et cetera. We haven't been shaken to our core.

I do believe sir, that our time has come. We'll see what it produces in our fellow Americans. Or rather others will. I will most likely not be here - thanks be to the Holy Spirit.

I wish everyone well.

People don't agitate violently for change until there is no food to buy. As long as the just in time supply system limps along they shrug and say $15 dollar burger and fries or $6 for a loaf of wonder bread or cheesy doodles is fine.

De Tocqueville: America is great because America is good.

Is abortion good?

Blessed? We took this continent by fire and sword. We believed in ourselves. Now we want to give it back to stone age people from the far corners of the world.

Over and over, sexual immorality is the number one sin in God’s eye and the sin He will walk away from, in societies, removing His protection. LBGTQ+ and the prevalence of birth control abortion both are indicators of our society’s drive into sexual immorality. Both are successful attempts by the Evil One to convince people that both things are righteous. I believe the catastrophes we are starting to see may be the result of God walking away. I wonder who He is considering to support next?

If societies become lost, Think S&G, God does not walk away, He destroys.

Sexual immorality is an outgrowth of arrogance, as well as lying -- to oneself, and to others. "I don't have to follow the rules because I'm great! I have trophies and people telling me that I'm great! You should want me to bang you so that you can say you were with the greatest lay on Earth!" And people buy the bullshit -- not all of them, but enough of them for it to matter, so that the society is changed such that increasing numbers of narcissists prowl around for dumb, impressionable, and willing people who'll let themselves be screwed, just so they can say they had the experience. These are the ones held up as role models, while the people who don't do that, or who learn from their mistakes are pilloried and ruined for their non-compliance.

"Good times create weak men"

And here we are.

Truer words never spoken.

So what to do? Hmm, vote? Lets hope.

If that doesn't work then there's always the guillotine.

Get ready for the alternatives America, it may not be pretty.

It's One Ring to rule them all. And that Ring belongs to Satan Himself.
