We are in the midst of one of the most radical revolutions in American history. It is as far-reaching and dangerous as the turbulent years of the 1850s and 1860s or the 1930s. Every aspect of American life and culture is under assault, including the very processes by which we govern ourselves, and the manner in which we live.
The Revolution began under the Obama administration that sought to divide Americans into oppressed and oppressors, and then substitute race for class victimization. It was empowered by the bicoastal wealth accrued from globalization, and honed during the COVID lockdown, quarantine-fed economic downturn, and the George Floyd riots and their aftermath.

Yet another article describing everything that's wrong. Rarely see any articles describing anyone's efforts to STOP IT.

Really, the very idea that Jack Smith was going to reveal credible accusations against DJT, after years of impeachments and special investigators found nothing, is ludicrous on its face.
They demonstrate one of two things:
1; Smith's accusations are true, and all prior impeachments and investigations were lies, and the politicians promoting them were all incompetent liars, or:
2. Smith's accusations are false, having been rejected by all prior impeachments and investigations, and Smith is a partisan hack interfering with an election.

Definitely a must read.
State run tyranny and corruption on display for all to see and in your face. Love how they try to make it look like its grassroots driven when it's all government driven. Just like China and Russia. They know they cannot be stopped. They will take your rights and freedoms. They will take your wealth and safety. They will divide, destroy, and kill. How many will they destroy and kill to stay in power? it started long ago, but really became a force on 1/6. It's here folks.

IMO, Hansen overlooked the single most profound upheaval, the one that underpins all the rest:
The coordinated, full-frontal attack, by the combined efforts of the Fed Govt, Deep State, Media, Justice, and Education systems, on the Judeo-Christian moral code of absolute truth on which our laws are based, for one based in secular humanism, moral relativism, and situational ethics.
Almost overnight, and with no due process to change them:
- civil liberties are no longer legal;
- lying/cheating/stealing/bribery/rioting is OK if its for the right cause;
- sexual perversion and immorality of every conceivable type is normative;
- racial grievance has become its own industry.
- patriotic national identity is a crime.

If you think that an election or two will solve this state of affairs...SMH.

Imran Khan, the previous PM of Pakistan, was sentenced to 3 years this weekend. Much like President Trump, the State went after him with nearly 100 felony charges, and he too was running a campaign to be elected again to the PM office. I am afraid that America is becoming just like Pakistan and that Trump will be jailed before the election.

Several nations have "remade" themselves via men such as Stalin or other Communist types - including France. The efforts failed as the revolution men killed too many people to suit normal people. We now have an opportunity to be part of a new revolution.
God help us !

#2, I cannot agree more. I will give credit to the people who point out all the wrong that is happening when they also offer solutions. Every guy on the street understands the country is on the wrong track. What we need are individuals offering real solutions to get us out of this nightmare. We the people are getting anxious because there seems to be no viable solution. We can go to the ballot box and we do, but when the security and legitimacy of our vote is in question, what then? Do we fall back on history and use Concord as an example of what we can do when the government is oppressive and corrupt. Or do we do nothing and hope and pray these anti-American Marxists will change their minds and slink off? This really is getting ridiculous. We KNOW the problems, we NEED solutions and the Republican party is less than effective when it comes to pushing back hard on this lawless cabal. In fact, far too many of them appear to be somewhat sympathetic to this administration and their plan for our future.
We need solutions! Why can’t you wizards of smart get your heads together and make concerted effort to do what you can to reveal the future of this country if we continue down this pathway and offer real solutions. Or is it the truth that there is nothing we can do that will change the trajectory of our destiny? When you have democrats trying very hard to imprison their only real opposition and Biden warning the people that he has nuclear weapons at his disposal, our options are very limited. So, what can we do?!

"Every guy on the street understands the country is on the wrong track."
I wouldn't say that. Visit your lefty neighbors or relatives, or walk around a nearby university campus and listen to what you hear. It's astonishing how deluded many people are. We're not, because we read news from other than the MSM. My brother-in-law is all in for Biden. There's no reasoning with him.

See my comments under the second posting of VDH's piece. Yes, #10, how so very true.
