More of the Way We Are Now

Picture

Opposing advocates of Israel and Palestine are demonstrating in our streets. Until fairly recently this would have seemed strange. Why should foreign countries be so important to American citizens? (Although I admit that decent people have sympathy for an occupied underdog.) This is simply a product of the mass immigration policies of the Republican and Democratic parties, carried out for the past half century or more.  

Why is it the same people who advocate mass immigration are now viewing Muslim protests against Israel as a dangerous rise of “anti-semitism”? They are even working to fire the black female president of Harvard because she has not suppressed Palestinian protests. ​

I knew it was all over for the U.S. a few years ago when the Japanese desk clerk in San Francisco thought my South Carolina palmetto cap was Islamic. 
Danny Quayle. Mike Pence. Why does the Republican party put on its national ticket mediocre, undistinguished politicians from the unimportant state of Indiana?  

Did you know that 95% of our antibiotics come from China? And 80% of all our drugs from China and India? 

Nikki Haley
: “We have to stand with our brothers and sisters in Israel.” Huh? You never know, but I don’t think I have any brothers or sisters in Israel.
 

Nikki Haley: “I have a positive vision for the future.” Huh? Typical Republican advertising comes back again
. Where is the substance? What is a “positive vision” for American people suffering from catastrophic foreign immigration, from catastrophic debt, from the declining living standards of the middle and working classes? A country that is involved in bankrolling war crimes in at least two places in the world, if not more? The Republican leadership have not figured out that the grassroots has changed and has caught on to their con game.
 

A cosmopolitan friend suggests that what we call the Deep State would more appropriately be labeled the Dark State.
 

Rioting mobs like Antifa and BLM are not spontaneous
. They are instigated by some conspiratorial organisation.
 

If a historian or intelligent alien of a future time views today’s television ads, they would conclude that U.S. society is two-thirds black and another 20% Asian and Mexican. However,
giving the ongoing deterioration of Western civilisation, a future historian is unlikely.
 

Keep in mind that America, created by intelligent and courageous settlers, has for some years been declining in IQ and testosterone
. You don’t need statistics---just look at our leaders. 
 

Maybe that
explains why your President is a plagiarist, a girl groper, a crook and a liar.

Excellent commentary by my favorite historian. I'd also add that the best superheroes are women of all color.

Spot on, Dr. Wilson, as always. The TV commercials are just part of the great reset. Everything going on is a plan, none of it is an accident.
On a side note...I see Nikki Haley as the WORST option for president on either side, right there with Joe and Kamala. She is a real snake in the grass, easily swayed, bought and paid for. Ramaswamy at least has the guts to say it. I am amazed at the number of people though who are buying into her, willing to let slide the immense disrespect she imposed on our South Carolina veterans (our Confederate ancestors).
Those of us in SC who are truly awake know full well what she is. I pray she fails miserably in her quest for more power. I fear this Lincolnite anti-southern Republican party will nominate her though.
If I have to, I'll write Trump's name in.

Ramaswamy referred to Haley as 'Dick Cheney in 3" heels.' I can't think of a more apt description. May her campaign soon crash in a flaming ball of fire. (Just a figure of speech, NSA. You don't have to send the Feds to knock my door down one cold morning at 5:00.)

In my opinion Nimrata is dead in the water. She is only kept afloat by money.

I certainly hope so, Dr. Wilson. The "money" and the media are doing their best lately to revive her or make her relevant - I am seeing far too many Nikki Haley ads on YouTube. They are everywhere lately. Hopefully, it's just the last gasp of a dying campaign.
I can't hit that "skip ad" button fast enough.

It will be hard perhaps for our descendants to understand, but we are being pushed to the Black Flag (against enemy combatants). We are also being pushed to drop like a shuttle rocket booster this thing called 'republicanism' in favor of more authoritarianism. For in it is the force to stop the 'world turned upside down.' In a saner world, I would oppose the Black Flag and non-republican characteristics. However, our enemies have used our niceness and limited government / local community against us. I fear more draconian methods must be used to defend if we are to survive. I hate to get my hands dirty with what must be done, but I don't think our side understands waits us. We will be gulagged. We will enslaved-and as sexual slaves also. And then exterminated. As John Randolph of Randolph said of another issue many years, 'shall we stand and chop logic?' Or do we get our hands dirty and live and die free????

My favoirite is those ads for phones and %-G depicting a family, three generations sitting on the same sofa silent with eyes glued to their individual device.
