How have we gone from America’s low-inflation, high tax revenue, full employment economy, with an expanding middle class, energy independence and rock solid military to the kowtowing disaster of the last two years?

The only possible conclusion is that this is a long-term and well-planned operation to kneecap America.

Accepting that the most prosperous nation on earth is suddenly falling into poverty, crime and wokeness, and our citizens are happily voting for more, requires a level of insane thinking that is unprecedented, yet we now have…

  • Ballot counting machines that can’t count ballots
  • Judges who refuse to judge
  • Anti-American American presidents
  • Prosecutors who don’t prosecute
  • Peaceful protests labeled as domestic terrorism and domestic terrorists labeled as peaceful protestors
  • Representatives who don’t represent
  • Corporations that don’t seek profit
  • Banks that don’t protect their depositors’ money
  • News reporters who don’t report the news
  • “Environmentalist” energy policies that waste energy and harm the environment
  • Scientists who don’t use the scientific method
  • Teachers who don’t teach, advocating graphic books on sex for children too young to understand sex
  • Psychologists and physicians encouraging dysphoria insanity in vulnerable children – while keeping parents clueless
  • Men playing women’s sports and assaulting girls in their locker rooms
  • Doctors who don’t heal, promoting vaccines that kill
  • Groups demanding reparations from people whose ancestors mistreated their ancestors
  • Free speech that isn’t free

Americans are kind, patient, generous people who want to live our lives, raise our families, do our jobs or run our businesses, pray – or not, and be left alone. Because we believe in fairness and free speech we are willing to tolerate the speech of others – even if we think it’s crazy or offensive. We recognize that we are not perfect and we acknowledge that our country isn’t perfect, especially our past.

Most of us still have a basic understanding of civics and believe that our representative government and our right to vote are the cornerstone of American greatness. When something goes wrong there are laws that all are required to follow and a judicial system that impartially enforces those laws.

Whether you are a Republican, Democrat or Independent, a Conservative or a Liberal, when you vote for a candidate in a primary or general election, you expect your vote to be counted accurately.

When this American contract breaks down we are nothing more than well-entertained slaves. Our leaders are not our representatives, beholden to us, but our masters.

Much of this insane war on the middle class and small business is justified by the “environmental movement.” All Americans want clean air and water. But the Left has coopted this noble cause and perverted into nothing more than a thinly veiled justification for ending American prosperity. They trot out “scientists” who falsify study results to justify their actions – all of which restrict freedom and growth – while actually doing massive harm to the environment they claim to worship.

They cry panic over “global warming” and pollution, but their policies do nothing to cool the earth or reduce pollution. Instead, we see agreements and accords that transfer money from rich countries and codify immense levels of pollution in poorer ones.

We see laws passed to require electric cars to “save our environment” with “clean, renewable energy” that take more energy and toxins to produce and eventually dispose of than will ever be saved.
