I am not one of those people that believe that everything in our society was better decades ago when I was growing up.  But without a doubt, those that are running our society today have ruined so many of the things that were truly great when I was a child.  Among other things, they have ruined our sports, our movies, our schools, our churches, our military, our architecture, our culture and our federal government.  Just about all of our major institutions have been infested by incompetence and political correctness, and it is getting worse with each passing year.

Do you believe in God?  If so, you belong to a portion of the population that is steadily shrinking.  Yes, a majority of Americans still think that God exists, but the trend is clearly going in one direction.  So are we headed down the same road that so many post-Christian nations in western Europe have already gone down?  According to a shocking new survey that Gallup has just released, the percentage of Americans that believe in God has plunged to the lowest level that they have ever recorded… (Read More...)

Most people that live in the western world don’t realize that global hunger has been absolutely exploding and has now become a major worldwide issue.  According to the UN, 2.4 billion people do not have enough food to eat on a consistent basis, and 900 million of them are facing severe food insecurity.  Unfortunately, things are about to get a whole lot worse.  The deal between Russia and Ukraine that had allowed so much grain to be shipped through the Black Sea has completely broken down, and now both sides are threatening to attack any transport ships that come through the area.

Joe Biden has repeatedly stated that the U.S. is going to be involved in the war in Ukraine “for as long as it takes”, and our leaders just keep pouring billions upon billions of dollars into the conflict.  But the truth is that the war is not going very well for Ukraine.  After sending them lots of shiny new vehicles and enormous mountains of military equipment in recent months, U.S. officials pressured the Ukrainians to launch an ill-advised “counter-offensive” so that the public could see that some “progress” was being made.  Unfortunately for the Ukrainians, the Russian defensive positions are extremely well prepared at this stage, and thousands upon thousands of young Ukrainians have been needlessly slaughtered.  An Irish volunteer that recently returned home told Sky News what life is really like on the front lines at this point… (Read More...)

This is not a time to be running low on ammo.  A major conflict could erupt in the Middle East at any time, and thanks to the recklessness of the Biden administration the U.S. could soon find itself fighting wars with both Russia and China simultaneously.  So you would think that our military brass would be absolutely determined to make sure that we have plenty of ammunition stockpiled.  But we don’t.  In fact, as a result of sending so much ammo to Ukraine our own stockpiles have gotten dangerously low.  This is something that General James Hecker commented on during a recent panel discussion… (Read More...)

It was just a matter of time before the grasshoppers joined the party.  In 2023, global crops have been devastated by plague after plague.  Farmers in the U.S. and elsewhere have had to deal with seemingly endless drought, unprecedented heat, nightmarish flooding and horrifying outbreaks of disease.  In fact, citrus greening disease is one of the primary reasons why the orange harvest in Florida is only going to be about half as large as it was last year.  It has just been one thing after another for our farmers, but ravenous hordes of insects has been one plague that has been noticeably absent from the list.  Unfortunately, that has now changed.

It is always hot in the summer, but this summer is unlike anything we have ever seen before.  To many, the summer of 2023 kind of feels like someone has thrown our planet into an extremely hot oven and won’t let us out.  Record high temperature after record high temperature is being set all over the globe, and experts are scrambling to explain what is happening to us.  But it isn’t actually a mystery.  When the sun becomes more active, temperatures tend to rise, and it is being reported that the number of sunspots that are currently being produced exceeds anything that we witnessed during the last solar cycle… (Read More...)

When you see a graphic that depicts the Sun as just about as large as the Earth, you should just chuckle.  The truth is that we are a tiny little rock compared to the giant ball of fire that we revolve around.  And whenever that giant ball of fire become more active, that greatly affects what is happening on our planet.  This is not a revolutionary concept, but a lot of people out there just can’t seem to grasp it.  Yes, the Sun is a long distance away, but without it none of us could survive for long, and to say that it is absolutely enormous would be a massive understatement… (Read More...)
