America Hit Rock Bottom In 2022

Hit bottom, keeps digging.

The decent and civilized among us are shouting into the void. What’s it going to take?

The Year America’s Basic Systems Started To Crumble

By: Christopher Bedford, The Federalist, February 7, 2023:

Chaos in Washington, madness at the airport, holiday hangovers: The first month of 2023 was familiar enough. What might seem less familiar to Americans, however, are the cracks appearing in our walls.

Sure, Americans have long felt a decline — maybe a few shifts in the foundations; the yearly polls on trust in major institutions reflect that well enough. You might hear an uncle who says, “Wall Street’s a bunch of crooks!” or a neighbor who notices, “Washington politicians are only in it for themselves,” or even an old classmate who thinks, “Colleges are just a bunch of crazy activists these days,” but the complaints largely ended with the complaints themselves. Everything still worked well enough.

And then it didn’t.

While politicians, “the experts,” and their friends in corporate media managed to muddy the waters in the first year of lockdowns, by 2021 everyday Americans felt like they’d earned the right to wonder why their kindergarteners were in masks, or their local teachers still refused to teach. Modern homeschooling flourished like never before, while enrollment in Catholic schools increased for the first time in decades.

The easy and pervasive idea that you could drop your kids off at school and expect they’d get an education like you did back in the day was dead. The assumption that you could trust the hospital administrator went out with the idea that you could trust your favorite news anchor. Hell, even pastors and funeral directors stood in the way of the business of life, death, and salvation.

But these were just people, most reasoned; or at least these were just institutions. And anyway, these were “unprecedented times” and “we’re all in this together.” “The pendulum will swing back,” Americans confidently predicted. “This craziness will pass.”

Today, in the first month of 2023, we don’t have the luxury of thinking it’s all going to get better. Because far from the year America changed course and settled into “normalcy,” 2022 was the year the basic, behind-the-scenes systems we all count on started to break down.

People struggled to buy a car. Baby formula moved behind locked counters, where the cigarettes used to be sold. Baby aspirin and other simple medicines were in such high demand, friends and neighbors worked together to supply the most vulnerable. Container ships backed up for weeks while their contents rotted. Diesel shortages threatened the lifeblood of the American economy.

Even if you don’t have an infant or a child looking for medicine, even if you didn’t see the ships lining up the California coast or the Chesapeake Bay, or missed the growing unease in the trucking industry, you might have noticed the cost of meat fluctuating so greatly that some local restaurants charged “market price” for chicken fingers. Or maybe you noticed condiments and other basic items were out of stock in the fast food joints across your town. Or maybe a friend texted you to please keep an eye out for a certain type of formula for his baby daughter, who needs it.

The point is: “Good Morning America” could ignore it all they liked, but you noticed.

It is well past time to take our Republic back …. with Force, Deadly Force, if necessary.

I stand with Grendel and will help fight with deadly force, what other choice do we have in the presence of EVIL!

Godly people of the Country have the POWER of PRAYER and that is stronger than any deadly force but we are in the times to do both!

An outstanding read from Christopher Bedford, of the Federalist–and one we sorely need to listen to.

Imagine what North America would be like if President Donald J. Trump was not elected in 2016. _ When stepping out of the Tub this morning I carefully placed one hand on the wall as I lifted the first foot and then repositioned my hand before bringing the second foot onto the Floor._ The wisdom of age._ One must recognize How incredible the Trump Administration was able to bring a sense of wisdom to the then over Two Hundred years of The United States Constitution. _ This was possible because in the first two (2) years the wisdom of the S.O.A.P. was Two (2) legs of the Three-Legged-Stool of Accountability. _ By the time of the 2018 mid-terms the Soros/Clinton Family was able to ‘beef-up’ the election tricks from the D.D.T.D.M. and replace the House membership with ‘click-heels’ Dem on Representatives._ Somewhat similar to “The Comeback Kid” winning the Dem on Presidential Primaries and beating POTUS # 41 for H.W.’s second term. _ Remember the Total Surprise and the physical collapse of >Her< when Trump won the 2016 Presidential Election! _ Hillary was convinced whatever happened in the 2018 mid-terms was fixed. _But the S.O.A.P. overwhelmed the deceitful dem ons trickery and fortunate for S.O.A.P. POTUS #45 was Trump._ A person of Integrity and Strength able to be successful in New York Business. _ As Frank's song says; "if you can make it there, You can make it anywhere" and POTUS # 45 did this again! _ What was #45 's fault? _ He was labelled " Uncouth", that's it !_ Similar to "W's" two terms as POTUS #43. _ But the Bush Family was at least comfortable with the Middle-East Group and the One-World and apparently comfortable with the Wall-Street/C.C.P. groupies et al. _ And Trump was known as a straight shooter in business. _ The above could not allow this and they 'Upped' their gaming control of the 'Permanent Government to match the similar level of Permanent Government in Canada'. _ The total gambit of Media Dominance beginning in 1974 – Trudeau-legacy and 1979 – Senator from 'the bridge' when one checks the North American french-fact. _MikeSr
