What in the world is happening to our country?  Once upon a time, the streets of our major cities were so civilized, but today our politicians seem to have no answers as crime rates spiral out of control.  The number of drug overdose deaths in the United States keeps hitting new all-time highs, and of course the drug crisis is fueling an unbelievably bad homelessness crisis.  Meanwhile, teams of professional looters all over the nation are driving countless retailers out of business as shoplifting numbers go to heights that we have never seen before.  On top of everything else, murder rates just continue to soar.  In fact, it is being reported that murder rates in major U.S. cities were even higher in 2021 than they were in 2020… (Read More...)

There are very few things that can unite a nation like a dangerous foreign enemy can.  Needless to say, Joe Biden and his minions desperately need a way to get the American people to rally behind them, because right now Biden’s approval numbers are steadily falling.  If the Biden administration stays on the path that it is currently on, there will be no second term.  A really big “pattern interrupt” is desperately needed, and there aren’t too many options that would fit the bill at this point.  However, if a war in Europe suddenly erupted, that would have the potential to change all of the narratives surrounding the Biden administration very rapidly.

These days, most people in the western world give very little thought to what a nuclear war might be like.  And that is very strange, because we are actually closer to a global nuclear war than we have ever been before.  If a conflict between Ukraine and Russia erupts, the U.S. and Russia would essentially be in a state of war from that point forward.  I do not anticipate that we would immediately be firing nuclear missiles at one another, but it would definitely put us on the verge of such a scenario.  Both sides would be in a state of constant alert with their fingers on the triggers, and all it would take is a single mistake to unleash an unthinkable nuclear nightmare.

There was a reason why we were once so respected by the rest of the world.  Once upon a time, Americans were incredibly sharp mentally, emotionally and physically.  A few days ago, video footage of what high school physical education was like in California in 1962 was brought to my attention.  As I watched the video, I could hardly believe my eyes.  Every single one of the kids was in immaculate physical condition, and they performed their drills with military precision.  After watching this video, I knew that I had to share it with my readers.

What is the Biden administration doing?  U.S. troops are not supposed to be in Ukraine, but for some reason they are there anyway.  When I first saw the video footage that I am about to share with you, I thought that there must be some mistake.  Sending U.S. troops into Ukraine after we publicly said that we would not is inevitably going to inflame tensions in the region even more.  But apparently some “genius” in the Biden administration thought that this would be a good idea.

In order to understand how far we have fallen as a society, we need to take a look back at how Americans once lived.  Because the way that we live today would be unrecognizable to those that inhabited our cities in the middle of the last century.  We like to think of ourselves as the most advanced and most sophisticated generation that the United States has ever produced, but the truth is that we are filthy, disgusting “pig people” compared to the generations that have come before us.  If you think that I am exaggerating, I would like for you to just watch the first two minutes of this video that shows what the streets of California were like in the 1940s.

A decline in morality has preceded the collapse of almost every great society throughout history.  Moral decay is often cited as one of the primary reasons for the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, the level of wickedness in ancient Greece reached a frightening crescendo before it finally fell, and the depravity of French aristocrats was so nauseating that ordinary citizens took them out into the streets and beheaded them during the French Revolution.  Unfortunately, we have not learned from the lessons of the past, and so we appear doomed to repeat them.

You may have noticed that our nation is crumbling.  In this case, I am not actually referring to the moral decay which is eating away at the foundations of our society like cancer.  In this article I am going to specifically focus on the physical infrastructure which is literally crumbling directly under our feet.  At one time, the infrastructure in the United States was unrivaled anywhere in the world.  Previous generations of Americans built this country from the ground up, and I am very thankful for the hard work that they put into constructing our infrastructure, but now it is rotting and decaying all around us.
