Americans are growing angrier by the day in a way different from prior sagebrush revolts such as the 1960s Silent Majority or Tea Party furor of over a decade ago.
The rage at the current status quo this time is not just fueled by conservatives. For the first time in their lives, all Americans of all classes and races are starting to fear a self-created apocalypse that threatens their families’ safety and the American way of life.
The division they fueled with racism was not sufficient, so now they pit the vaccinated against the unvaccinated. I've got news for you, we the unvaccinated will still have a functioning immune system and will be the ones taking care of the sick and dying who have wrecked theirs. So think about that the next time you decide to badger your relative who chose to actually look at the science, while you listened to the fear porn.

One need only to look at the current legislation to understand the Democrats wish to completely transform the Nation into a European type socialist State; the greatest capitalistic/ economic society in the history of the World will be destroyed by ignorant fools. On top of that, it makes us vulnerable to enemy attacks of all kinds, which means the Democrats as a whole, especially the Administration, are seditionists/TRAITORS, and should be treated as such.

As usual, a good piece by VDH. But, I remain very skeptical that we can right the ship simply by replacing some dims and pubbies next year in November. Yes, we will be able to slow the push toward Americanized Marxism, but, elections won't stop it. Marxism has spread like a cancer. Something more than an election or two must happen. It remains up to us what "something" is or will be. Now would be a great time to roll with "something". America is circling the drain.
God, help us all.

How many of these Americans voted for Biteme? How many of these Americans voted for Obozo? How many voted for any of the squad or kept voting for Piglosi? One can't cure stupid, and the people running this country are proof that too many stupid people vote.

I am reminded of a broadcast on WMAL in DC 30 years ago: "Armageddon out of here."
Maybe Pierre Dupont was right. Maybe we all have to get mad enough to explode and throw these creeps out of office. Forever.
Heck. It happened in 1776. Can happen again.

VDH is even-handed in his disdain for Biden, but the proper term is “Obiden.” Because Bathhouse Barry may not have wanted his VP to run at first, but Soros and Obama arranged the vote fraud, stole the election, and are plenty happy with the result. That pathetic old man is simply doing their bidding: Destroying our nation -- more and more every day. –Veterans for Trump

Yes, it's awful...and under whose administration did these rent moratoria start? Were they legal then? How about the profligate "stimulus" spending and expanded unemployment and other payments that shot into accounts nationwide - even my deceased mother got a check? How about the confused "science" and the national dashboard obsession with figures that were nonsense from day one.
COVIDS is another national civics test, and Americans again prove they cannot resist either raiding the treasury or forcing behaviors on people. Meanwhile, government again proves it is a stone liar and bully. This is what passes for liberty these days...

The time for talking and writing is nearly over, if not over already. The people in traditional positions of leadership are traitors and are actively working to destroy us. We need wise, courageous, steadfast, uncompromising, conservative leaders and we need to know our own minds and how far each of us is willing to go to preserve liberty.

Hopefully the fuse is lit and it's only a matter of time...
I'm not referring to the long-term, ultimately meaningless 2022 and 2024 elections.

And the ChiComs, funding our traitors like Joe and Mitch and dozens more, along with the long term Soros and other funding of Marxist infiltration of our state and local governments is seriously corroding the mechanism of the country.
Our enemies are pleased, foreign and domestic. Many are ready for a replay of the events of 1860s, and that doesn't seem so far fetched any more.
Hellish times, for sure. And mostly caused by government take over by leftists.

Here’s the bottom line: There is no going back. There is no political solution to what is happening. We have been in an asymmetrical war for over 100 years beginning with the post Civil War progressives that emerged in the 1880s and 90s. President Woodrow Wilson and the progressives that destroyed the Constitutional republic with the 16th, 17th, and 18th amendments. Yes, the 18th amendment! It allowed the federal government to create a national police force in response to the criminal organizations that sprang up as a direct result of prohibition. Unintended consequences? Nope, it’s all working as planned.
The opiate of the population is bread and circuses. It worked for the Romans… until it didn’t, and they were destroyed by the very people they held in contempt. It took a thousand years to simply reemerge.

It's not just the politicians. It's getting harder for me to find a book to read, a movie to watch or a TV show that isn't woke. The commercials alone are enough to make me gag. A drug that gay men can take to lower their chances of getting HIV? Really? I never thought I'd see that in my life.
