This is one Victor Davis Hanson column you really need to read.
We are in a Jacobin Revolution of the sort that in 1793-94 nearly destroyed France. And things are getting scary.
The Democratic Party vanished sometime in 2020.
It was absorbed by hard-left ideologues. They were bent on radically altering, or hijacking, existing institutions to force radical, equality-of-result agendas that otherwise do not earn majority support.
The American people want affordable power and fuel and energy autonomy. They do not want a Green New Deal that results in dependence on the Middle East.
They want fiscal sobriety, not a permanent stagflationary economy marked by bank failures, soaring interest rates, crony capitalism, and subsidies for those who choose not to work.

We are getting closer and closer to the edge of ‘something’… And I’m frankly afraid of what that may be…
As we celebrate this holy week, with the Jews celebrating the feast of Passover, and Christians celebrating the resurrection of Jesus, christianity in any form is under attack from all sides.
I found THIS article to be an interesting read for the comparisons and, again, things to think about…
We need to be pulling together to pull this country out of the doldrums and problems rather than playing partisan politics, word games, and letting the loudest screamers get their way…
There is a force, whether seen or unseen, that is using these far left wing mindless humans to destroy everything that God has built and used the United States to make life better for the entire world. The answer to our problems is Christ. We have turned away from God and look for material goods to satisfy the hunger within and it will never work. Only Jesus Christ can fill the emptyness in a persons heart. If every person would repent and ask forgiveness for their sins God would heal our land and restore America to where He wants us in relation to the rest of the world.
“The American people want…”
You can build shelter for the homeless and they won’t live there because they like the way they live. Relatives actually proudly tell us, “I don’t watch the news. I don’t pay attention to politics.”
My take-away from this is they are in their little “safe” bubble and have not yet been impacted in a way to force change.
Surprisingly, Riley Gaines being physically attacked didn’t set off a scuffle. But what if something happens to Trump?
Pray for the best. Be prepared for the worst.
The only thing that will stop this or change this will be blood.
A lot of blood.
You can’t repeal all of the bad laws and decisions that have been made since LBJ, much less FDR. So it all needs to be burned down and a new order raised up from the ashes. Yeah, it’d be great if we could wind back the clock a hundred years or so law wise – but it’ll never happen.
The problem is the federal government. Too much of what it does now it’s prohibited from doing by the constitution. But no one cares, and the supreme court has become as much of a joke as congress or the presidency. Our government is in the process of falling. I don’t know what’s going to replace it (maybe it already has?), but I don’t think it’ll survive the next election – which we already know will be rigged. I just wonder if they’ll change the name of the country or not?
I also wonder if all those petro-dollars coming home, as everyone abandons the US Dollar as the ‘international currency’ (thanks Joe Biden!) will give us Weimar Republic levels of inflation (did you know they stopped teaching that in school about 20 years ago?).
I know that everyone, and I do mean everyone in this nation, believes that the slow decline we’re experiencing will continue to be slow so it won’t be us that sees rock-bottom, it’ll be the generation after us (who believes it’ll be the generation after them). But most of history that I’ve read seems to indicate that there always comes a tipping point, where suddenly everything falls off a cliff.
I’m just not smart enough to see where (and if) that cliff is in our country’s future.
John- I agree
GB- That’s all we can do now, and I’m prepared…
John- Concur, and I ‘think’ that cliff is closer than anyone thinks.
The reason that the Boogaloo hasn’t occurred yet is that the Boogalooers all know what a feces-storm it will be within the first 30 minutes of things going boogaloo.
We are looking at horrors right now, the loss of law and order and the American way of life. But we see that the fight to restore is going to be soo much worse, and there is still the chance, faint though it be, that the scales of justice will swing back and that the American way of life will shine without (too much) bloodshed.
But as said above, that cliff, getting awful close. I know how close it is here where I am. And, yes, closer than others around me think it is.
Which is why anyone who doesn’t storm prep for the coming storm season is a fool. And anyone who hasn’t kept their preps up or increased since last storm season is just as foolish.
There’s storms coming. Gonna be a bad gust front and then lots of wind and fury, one way or another.
Beans- I can’t help but wonder if it starts in the metromesses and flows out from there when there isn’t enough food…
I fear we are in for many more years of this madness.
My Dad liked what he called, “The belly flapping principal. You will change when your belly starts flapping”. Does that apply to a country?
The founder of “Protect Our Kids First” have been arrested for allegedly downloading child sex abuse material, otherwise know as “Porn”?
Meanwhile People that are members of the LGBTQ Community have been associated with “Pedophiles” and “Groomers.”
This Toxic Liberal culture that creates liberal Groomers can affect people of all Persuasions..
We need literal groomers, not liberal groomers. Have you seen how people go out these days? At least run a comb or brush through your hair, people! Or toss a hat on over it. Messy, stained, torn clothes really shouldn’t be going out clothes, except maybe for trips to Menards or Ace or Home Depot. I could go on…
WSF- I think it will, especially for the ‘special ones’…
Frank- True. Sometimes they ‘use’ the cover of doing good to feed their kinks…
Not exactly sure when the Democrats finished the transition but they have been the American Communist Party for a long time. The last time an openly admitted communist ran for the Presidency was in 1984. They have since ceased spending the money on trying to achieve that office. When asked why the then registered American Communist Party stated they didn’t need to. The Dem party had adopted ALL of their platform positions.
Dan- Good point…
Hey Old NFO;
I fear for this country, there is a “Normalcy Bias”, people see what they want to see and a lot of people have blinders on and they don’t see the coming storm. We/us/the normal people know that once the *boog* kicks off, it will be nasty and vicious, it will make Kosovo look like a romper room spat and we keep hoping that sanity will prevail because once that last box is open, we have to go until it is over because half measures invite reprisals on our families.
Bob- Understood, and no, I don’t believe anyone on the left really understands what could happen.
