Some heavy hitters on Wall Street have said the same thing. It's appears to be a consensus opinion growing in the country.

Given the House vote, the cheering and chanting of Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine and nothing for the border, it is nearly taps for the last remnant of the USA still standing. And the USG is caught in a debt trap. It's all a house of cards run by lunatics.

When I was growing up in the 1950s there were all these Roman Empire movies on TV. And as I child, I wondered how it was possible that the Romans were so stupid as to let it all go to crap. Now I know. I see it before my very eyes.

Right? And growing up on Westerns (most notably the long running TV series "Gunsmoke" which I highly recommend on DVDs for you or your grandchildren) which were always based on a struggle between evil and righteousness, did a lot to get me to think about that subject as a child. The other genre I grew up on were the movies depicting WWII and the Nazi atrocities which always made my young mind question, "How could the German people have allowed this?" And "Now I know. I see it before my very eyes."

Thanks for this.

I do think this is obvious....to pay for the southern border invasion. The USG is at war with America. They haven't pulled out the guns yet but it is coming. And when we resist, they will use the same kind of pretext Abraham Lincoln used.
