Our adversaries are outstripping us militarily, scientifically and psychologically. They have penetrated every facet of our society and clawed together advocates that have proposed insane challenges on raising our next generation, flirting with reparations for past activities that were wrong, turning voters against each other through weaponization and you know the rest.
The numbers of radicals are not huge but they have been effective because it takes only a few bad apples as the saying goes. There are always a larger number of malcontents waiting on the sideline/bench ready to cause problems because they are ignorant, hot heads and prone to expand the numbers.
More importantly, Soros, for a nominal amount of campaign dollars, has been able to elect District Attorney's who no longer enforce laws. They selectively pick and choose and the result is breakdown of societal law and order. In conjunction with this, the hue and cry of defunding the police has also diminished/dispirited our police department ranks, so enforcement has collapsed in may major cities predominantly run by Democrats and black radicals to boot.
Finally, intimidation is the weapon of choice. Whether it be an attempt to express a different view on a college campus or write, as I just have, pointing out a fact. Intolerance has expanded to the point that America is no longer a nation where free expression is tolerated.
Debate is both frowned upon and physically restrained. This is not the America envisioned by our founding fathers. The GOP always finds itself in a defensive position because Democrats strike first and are more aggressive regardless of what the issue is and when it comes to voting they began harvesting votes while the GOP historically trudged to the polls. Numbers and methods that lend themselves to fraud became acceptable and election results became more questionable.
Bad as that is, Democrats also raised issues that Russia was engaged in campaign interferences. The current Sec. of State enticed 51 high profile intelligence operatives to sign a letter attesting to same and released it knowing it was all concocted right before the 2020 election.
How many times will 'the unwashed masses and "deplorables" fall for these shenanigans? They did twice in order to impeach Trump.
I daresay, Democrats will explore another version in the 2024 election. Winning, at any cost, is so much a part of their DNA. They have utter contempt for their opponent as well as the nation. They have besmirched and manipulated The FBI, IRS and most every significant Agency to the point most Americans no longer trust their federal government and frankly, why should they?

Biden shirks his responsibility as a politician, as president not to negotiate so he can blame Republicans for whatever happens regarding his desire to have it his way totally when it comes to spending and budget negotiations. Yes, he may be clever, he may even get his way but his cleverness is destructive, his contempt for his opponent is sick and the further destruction of the dollar as the world's medium of exchange continues to be threatened.
A devalued dollar adds more inflation to our need to buy from abroad.
Wake up America!!!!

Tucker Carlson Issues First Public Comments Since Fox News Exit
By Jack Phillips
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson issued his first public comments since it was announced that he would be departing the network earlier this week, appearing outside his home in Florida with his wife.
“Retirement is going great so far,” he joked to the Daily Mail, which published photos of him and his wife outside of his Boca Grande house while driving a golf cart. “I haven’t eaten dinner with my wife on a weeknight in seven years.”
When asked about his future plans, Carlson again joked: “Appetizers plus entree.” According to the Mail reporter, he drove away in the golf cart with his wife without elaborating on what he is going to do next.
Neither Fox News nor Carlson have provided any details about why he suddenly left the network after hosting one of the top-rated cable news programs for years. A news release issued by the company said the two parted ways and said it would use a rotating slate of hosts for a temporary show during the 8 p.m. timeslot until a new host is named.
There has been speculation that a lawsuit filed by a former producer, Abby Grossberg, may have been one of the reasons for his departure. She claimed Carlson fostered a toxic work environment in which producers allegedly would make vulgar remarks, although Carlson hasn’t responded publicly to the allegations, and a Fox News spokesperson told news outlets that the company “will continue to vigorously defend Fox against Ms. Grossberg’s unmeritorious legal claims, which are riddled with false allegations against Fox and our employees.”
Other than Grossberg’s claim, a number of anonymously sourced articles have asserted that Carlson may have been let go for a number of reasons. On Tuesday evening, a Vanity Fair report—which The Epoch Times cannot authenticate as true—alleged that Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch removed Carlson after remarks he gave at the Heritage Foundation over the past weekend.
“I have concluded it might be worth taking just 10 minutes out of your busy schedule to say a prayer for the future, and I hope you will,” Carlson said in the keynote speech. The former Fox News host also made note of what he described as widespread moral decay across society and issued warnings about the future of Western civilization.
While Fox has shed big-name hosts with little damage in the past, the ouster of Carlson comes at a precarious moment for the network, said Nicole Hemmer, a Vanderbilt University professor and author of “Partisans: The Conservative Revolutionaries Who Remade American Politics in the 1990s.” Carlson was the person there who best excelled at exciting the base of the Republican Party, she said.
“If Carlson now begins attacking Fox as ‘corporate media’ that despises its Trump-supporting viewers, he could cause the network to begin bleeding viewers” as it briefly did after the 2020 election, Hemmer told The Associated Press this week.
Carlson was named to replace O’Reilly on the day O’Reilly was fired. It may take some time for Carlson’s replacement to be known: Fox took a year, using guest hosts, before naming Jesse Watters as its 7 p.m. host last year. Watters was an immediate hit, and Fox learned that the audience likes to be part of the selection process.
“People are creatures of habit,” conservative talk show host Erick Erickson said. “Fox will offer another host who speaks into the audience’s concerns. There’ll be a dip, just like after O’Reilly, but I expect the host will be competent enough to earn the audience’s trust quickly.”
Several current and former Fox hosts reacted to Carlson’s exit this week. Both Glenn Beck and Megyn Kelly criticized the move and said it would harm Fox News in the long-term—with Beck saying that the move is tantamount to “suicide.”
“I don’t know what drove Fox News to make this decision, and it was clearly Fox News’s decision because they’re not letting him say goodbye,” Kelly said Monday. “That’s my supposition. That’s not inside knowledge … I think this is a massive error. I think this is a massive misjudgment of what their audience wants.”
Current host Sean Hannity, whose show appeared after Carlson’s, said during a radio show that he doesn’t know what caused the two parties to part ways.
“My phone has been blowing up all day. The hard part for me is I don’t have a clue … I have no idea. Was it Tucker’s decision? Was it Fox’s? Was it a mutual agreement that they had? I don’t know,” he said.
A Fox News spokesperson has not returned a request for comment.
