How Great Nations Die

 I believe most of my readers know that there is something very wrong happening in America.  We know what it stems from;  Godlessness.  All these college kids shouting, "death to America!" and "Free, Free Palestine" are most likely NOT starting their mornings with Bible study and prayer.  In fact the vast, vast majority of Americans have no interest in the Word of God.  Most Americans now believe that all life on earth is the result of a huge cosmic coincidence that started the forces of evolution and in their futile brains they have convinced themselves that EVERYTHING they see came from NOTHING.

We also know that history repeats itself.  The common direction of great nations spiral down to the Left.  What was unthinkable just a few decades ago is now common and even celebrated.  Think about gay marriage, abortion.  Think about the belief of many that we can simply print money to create all the wealth we need.  Think about our military going WOKE and promoting transgenders, gays and other reprobates into the highest positions of power.  Think about our police being defunded exactly when lawlessness has exploded.  Think about the millions of illegal aliens who have entered our society and the breakdown that causes on our social services.  The list is long and goes on and on.

Now let's remember one lesson from history; the Ottoman Empire.  If American doesn't fix what ails us soon...we will not be around much longer.  And of course this likely explains why the Bible doesn't mention America anywhere in Last Days prophecy.

Plagued with inept leadership, a fractured society, and an unstable economy, the once powerful, centuries-old Ottoman Empire was described by early 20th century contemporaries as the sick man of Europe. And then it collapsed into the dustbin of history.

America, take note. Consider what medicine needs to be administered in Washington to prevent a fatal malaise from taking down a great nation, for no country is immune to the Ottoman infection.

For the United States, it begins with returning to strategic energy independence. Through state-of-the art technology, we now have the means of not only meeting our domestic needs, but the ability to export oil to our allies. Doing so would replace the Russians and Iranians, whose energy stockpiles continue to be wielded as weapons against the West.

It has been estimated that, were U.S. oil production allowed an open spigot, prices would go back down to $40 or $50 a barrel, nearly half its current $83. That price would create an economic cardiac arrest for Russia and Iran, leaving them unable to afford their global aggression against the West.

Next, the U.S. should return to a policy of strong economic growth. No country has ever taxed itself into prosperity. Let us unleash once again America's best weapon: a creative, robust, open economic marketplace.

Washington needs to lower everyone's taxes and tear up those mountains of regulations that are now throttling growth.

With a strong pro-growth agenda, it is equally important also to provide low-cost loans for business expansion,

We need to recognize that we are being challenged for global leadership by China and that they are engaged in espionage that transits every facet of our nation – from defense to AI to Wall Street. The Communist Chinese will continue to do their best to cripple and displace the U.S. technologically, militarily and economically.

While a strong American military is key, another means to confront that threat is to see the U.S. bring manufacturing back home. Where that is not feasible, one can partner with countries such as India, which are not dedicated to confronting the United States. Otherwise, keep the creation of basic necessities, such as medicine or computer chips as home-grown domestic products.

If America is to remain recognizable as a sovereign nation, we need to secure our borders. It remains inconceivable that it is estimated we currently have more than 20 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., half of which entered since 2021. The current condition of our city streets speaks to the chaos that has been created by White House border policies that are out of control and a national security risk.

Nations get sick. Those that refuse to recognize the lethal risk from these maladies, and refuse to "take their medicine" run the risk of dying.

Just ask the Ottomans.

I've said it 100 times in the last few years to consider 2 politicians running for the same office.  One stands up and says, "Our nation is sick and needs immediate medicine if we are to survive.  Elect me and I will start administering this medicine.  It will taste bad and won't feel good but if we take it now we will survive for decades more.  Thanks for your vote"

The next person gets up and says, "My opponent is a DebbieDowner!  This nation is great and always will be.  Elect me and I will make sure you have free college, free health care, free college and a universal basic income because we all deserve to have a minimum income.  Elect me and I will provide all that you need for a healthy and happy life!"

And which one do you think would get elected?  Votes will vote themselves to death.
