A few days ago, American Greatness had a very concerned article by Victor Davis Hanson on the future of America.

The Republic of Texas approaches.
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, S Dakota, N Dakota, Montana, Alberta (Canada), Saskatchewan (Canada), Manitoba (Canada), and a few states along the sides. Let's go EAST. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida.
We have every shipping port in The Gulf of Mexico and half the Atlantic and more oil than the Saudis ever dreamed of.
California and New York can print their own money. If they want to trade they can use Panama. We WILL protect our borders ,north, south, east, and west.
If you're coming to visit Texas bring your US passport with the pre-approved visitor's visa.

Only half of the Roman Empire fell (lke Rome) The other half remained until a Muslim invasion in thr 15th Century. The strong half remains and is held in place by the Church.
The United Sttes has rejected the Church.

In my opinion, it is more accurate to say that the USA is following in the footsteps of Sodom and Gomorrah - and our destruction as a nation will be swift and devastating.

How much pain does our country have to go through before they humbled themselves before God and cry out for His mercy and help? And repent for the sins of our country...

No, we are not 'falling like Rome'. We are falling faster and the end will be more catastrophic. FJB

The solution? Make membership in the Democrat party a criminal offense. Democrats are the root of all evil.

The solution is that every election, voters need to re-apply to vote. Then vote one day voting, not an election month so as the demonrats can figure out how many votes to come up with, meaning to cheat. Voting machines should be disbanded and chain of custody has to be closely watched. That's a start, but if we don't have a righteous people running the country, then it all for naught.

Yes, only our sins are multiplied and worse in intensity. America's final push to destruction is happening more rapidly than ever. We're falling fast, people.
