If you're like me, the news cycle is one smack to the face after the next. It's not even a "cycle" at this point; it feels more like crawling out of bed under relentless machine-gun fire of bad news and trying to survive the day without getting hit.
In this sense, getting "hit" is letting the bastards get you down (excuse my French). It's not easy, and it's not for the faint of heart. I look at it as a special challenge that all normal, non-woke, patriotic Americans must accept as part of living through this period of great change.

Tried of people such as this guy trying to blow sunshine up my rear. Our Democratic Republic is done. It has already turned totalitarian. With the help of the majority of Republicans. No one is on our side. There is no "coming back" from this. We can't even stop what is going on now. Too many lies & liars. Too many evil traitors.

We no longer get news, we are being force fed propaganda. I’m not sure Pravda and Izvestia were as untruthful and dishonest as our current news organs.

You can't win if you don't fight.
They WANT to dishearten you with the illusion of invincibility.
What, you're planning on praying to Klaus Schwab?

Shurk’s words ring true to me and I am disheartened to see so many of the commenters on this article reply, “Nuts.” I will continue to believe in the inevitable triumph of the human spirit, however, even if no one stands with me. I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees. I know there are millions like me.

#4, I truly believe that God wanted us to live at this point in history. I'm with you, and my family, friends, and neighbors.
We have a duty to inform, inspire, pray, and if worse comes to worse ...... well....

#3, #4 & #5, everybody has hope. It costs nothing. I am not going to tell you not to hope. But don't tell me to not believe we are done. You'll find out soon enough if you are unvaxxed, a gun owner or a Christian. Or all 3. And white. I read a very sobering account of what has happened to white South Africans since Apartheid ended. The very same things are happening in this country right now.

As I was reading this great article echos of hope and history from the not too distant past of Rush's admonitions to stay the course and never ever give up filled my heart. This is America and never in world history has there ever been a people with an undaunting hope for men of good will . Thank you Mr. Shurk. MAGA

#1,2,6 are correct, and also #3,4,5 are right.
Our situation is dire. Our Constitutional Republic as designed by our founders is lying in tatters on the floor. World-wide totalitarianism/communism has infiltrated and completely taken over the once-free Western democracies. We are being ruled by an international cabal of immensely powerful multi-billionaires who have sold their souls to Satan. Egomaniacs that would make a Bond villain blush. The men and women masquerading as elected representatives in Washington D.C. are only the puppets of the World Economic Forum taking orders from George Soros and Klaus Schwab. This is beyond mere politics.
We are in open Spiritual Warfare, and as Mr. Shurk writes, we are not the first people to be tested in this manner. Those that are only looking for political solutions, using earthly powers, will never gain ground and will never prevail. Things are going to get worse, much worse. People will be tested; the weak-willed, slow-minded and the soft-hearted will succumb to all that will be required of them, and submit to every restriction on their person and property. Those that resist will be the strong-willed, quick-minded and stout-hearted because they know God Almighty.
America was founded on the Judaeo-Christian God of the Holy Bible. It is in Holy Scripture that the promises of God; His gifts of life, liberty and free agency were given to each person. It is where God give us His Covenant not to destroy the world by flood again, the true rainbow of life. It is where we find the great prophets and the wisdom of the psalms. It is also where we find the Greatest Story Ever Told and the salvation won for us by Jesus Christ dying for our sin on the cross, and rising from the dead on Easter morning. We are fighting for so much more than just our life as American citizens, we are fighting against the forces of evil sent directly from Hell.
Before we can win our political battles, we must turn our faces back to God. It starts with each of us, then our families. Start by reading the Bible, then go to church if you've been away. The roof won't fall in, trust me. Invite others to go with you. If the current faithful can kick-start another Great Awakening in America, there will nothing on this green earth that can stop us.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us battle...

I agree with the article and I have chosen to remain positive. This morning my Devotional verses happened to be Esther 4:13-14. The quote below is from a portion of commentary explaining these verses:
"d. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this? Mordecai knew that God had promoted this orphan in exile for a reason - and Esther must have the courage and wisdom to see that reason and fulfill it.
**** This principle applies to us also. God promotes us or puts us in a place for a reason, and we need the courage and wisdom to see that reason and to walk in it.****
We are called to walk by FAITH and not by sight. Things may not be as they APPEAR to be. I really believe that at some point, quite soon, WE will be vindicated. Please don't be discouraged because that is EXACTLY what they want us to be!

Top priority for any human being: Keep God first in your life. God will guide you. When everyone around is losing their head, a God-based person keeps theirs. Don't get sucked in by all the nonsense out there.

Almighty God will always win and His Plan will be fulfilled!
If you don't believe that, you have a far bigger problem than chat boards can resolve.

What would our Founding Fathers -- who risked everything to take on the world's most powerful empire -- think of today's "patriots" who sit in front of their computers in the comfort of their homes, posting messages of despair and proclaiming that all hope is lost? I am volunteering my time to support an organization that is taking concrete steps right now to fight ballot fraud. There a hundreds of other ways people just like us are taking action to push back against the evils that threaten our country and our freedom. What are YOU doing?

The weaponization and increased budgets by the feds are for a reason. With technology there is no way out. A political meeting of like minded people will end in undercover agents and surveillance. A demonstration will end in being hunted down and cancelled. Now they don't care what the majority think and there must be a reason for that too.

It may be cliche but I think of the Eighteenth Century French Revolution every time I contemplate our situation. The people were starving, the king and his fat, bloated government and well-armed soldiers were abusing them in the same ways we are being abused, overtaxed, pushed around and ridiculed. I can also picture Marie Antoinette with a Biden-like sneer on her face uttering her famous insult, "Let them eat cake." God, optimism and the ability to smash these perverts, murderers and thieves will enable us to emerge from this era of history better than ever. We have the high ground, honor and black rifles in place of pitchforks but rope is still sufficient to punish the guilty, we have the knowledge of exactly what is going on and a historical reference. Onward Jackques, we have a battle to fight, a king to kill and a country to rescue.

Courage, me lads.
Not the absence of fear. Total commitment, regardless of circumstances.
Poetry and history.
Saint Crispin's Day, we happy few.
Charge of the Light Brigade, Charge for the guns, he said.
Little Round Top, fix bayonets.
Occupy till I come. They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony.

G-d is still sovereign. Regardless of the evil that people do, G-d ultimately uses it for good. And there will also be a reckoning. So take heart.

I saw a prayerbook advertised recently - something like - Hour A Day Prayers for Women (possibly the Psalms). So I was thinking, if I could begin myself, and ask others too, to pray every day for an hour for our country, in church if they can, and, if not, anywhere. Not just Christians, but women of all faiths praying one hour a day for our wonderful country because we all sense it is in trouble.
Women in times of war (and we're in a powerful spiritual war right now - you can sense it) have always kept the "home fires burning", so this is something we can all do (split it up if need be - morning, noon, evening and nighttime). The Bible is full of IF's and Thens, and I believe God might be saying IF they pray and repent, THEN, well, we will have to see what special gift He'd have in store for us then. It would be so nice if we could make this happen - not that hard. I think the THEN might surprise us all.

#1,
You need to believe GOD when He says that He is in charge, loves His body of Christ, and will take care of them. He is soon going to prove that He will take care of that body of Christ and judge the evil among us.
