Critical things to think about in 2022.

I never dreamed that I would have to face the prospect of not living in the United States of America, at least not the one I have known all my life. I have never wished to live anywhere else. This is my home, and I was privileged to be born here. But today I woke up and as I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is changing for the worse. No matter how I v**e, no matter what I say, no matter how much I pray, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same. I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life--so h**e-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind!

You can't justify this insanity:

• If a guy pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.

• Somehow, it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.

• Russians influencing our e******ns are bad, but i******s v****g in our e******ns are good.

• It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine.


• Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen is old enough to v**e.

• People who have never owned s***es should pay s***ery r********ns to people who have never been s***es.

• People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.

People who worked and payed their own way through college are now expected to pay for others college education.

• Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is v******ted.

• Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang member or terrorist who jumps the southern fence is welcome.

• $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.

• If you c***t to get into college you go to prison, but if you c***t to get into the country you go to college for free.

• If you c***t in an e******n nothing happens to you, but if you point out the mathematical errors of that e******n you are a conspiracy theorist and disdained.

• People who say there is no such thing as g****r are demanding a female President.

• We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan for us.

• Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.

• Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of their rights.

Then there is the whole Afghanistan, v*****e, endless C***D variants, e******n c***ting, deficient president, violence in the cities, defunding the police, confiscating my guns while arming terrorists, etc., etc.

And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "r****ts"?!

Nothing makes sense anymore - no values, no morals, and no civility. People are dying of a Chinese v***s, but it's r****t to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China. We are clearly living in an upside-down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where k*****g murderers is wrong but k*****g unborn babies is okay!

Wake up America, the great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, it's taking on water, and is sinking fast. We Americans are drowning. Speak up while you still have breath and a voice for soon you will have neither if you don’t !

This needs to be sent on to a lot of people.

It makes you wonder, but it's not a pleasant thought, plum.

This is the way I feel too. America needs to wake up and turn things around. We have let too many terrorists into our country. Thanks plumbob

When I was in the army my Vietnamese scout told me that he felt sorry for me. When I asked him why he said “if something goes wrong in your country you don’t have a better place to go to “ I agree we are sinking and divided, we lack real leadership. Early American f**g “united we stand..divided we fall “ if we do not quickly learn to live together we will die together.

Right on Plum 👍 needs to be put in every newspaper in America

Great points pb!

What also burns me is we put more priority into paying an athlete an unbelievable amount of money to play a game or an actor who excels at pretending to be someone else than to take care of our Veterans, the homeless or hungry children.

It’s the WOKE thing now Plum.
I’m afraid that it’s going to be with us for awhile until some new ideological viewpoint replaces it.

Fredfish Loc: Prospect CT.

ABSOLUTELY Plum. Why aren't the average citizens outraged over all of this BS???
Are we that afraid of being politically incorrect? I think a quality leader would help, but people have to stand up and voice their displeasure over this garbage.

Great post, Plum!

DC Loc: Washington state

plumbob that was a great post and sadly all so true and your line "evil has invaded our nation" is the main cause, and the result is as stated in the Bible which the very mention of which will set some off

" Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-h**ers, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them."

does this sound familiar? Our nation is more than anything in the midst of a spiritual battle, where mentioning the very nature of the battle of good vs evil, t***h vs lie, light vs darkness, will often bring scorn, ridicule, ostr****m. With out the willingness to address the root cause there can be no solution. We can not win a war that we are unwilling to admit we are in. Sadly our nation is willingly being lead into captivity and soon the freedom we had been granted for so many years will end.

I'll just take on one of the falsehoods in this tirade. It wasn't Joe Biden who blackmailed the president of the Ukraine, it was President Donald Trump and he was impeached for it and acquitted by a Republican majority Senate. You can have your own opinions, but you can't have your own facts. And that's a fact. Off my lawn now. This is still the greatest country in the world. Stop your whining.

Sure isn't fg. Just something to ponder on.

As per a BBC News clip here is the Zelensky's take on the phone call.



Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said there was "no blackmail" in a phone call with Donald Trump that is at the heart of a possible attempt to remove the US president from office.

"This is not corruption, it was just a call," Mr Zelensky said on Thursday.

The call prompted a whistleblower complaint and Democratic impeachment inquiry of the Republican president.

Mr Trump denies withholding US aid while pressuring Ukraine to investigate political rival Joe Biden.

Impeachment is a process by which Congress can v**e to oust a president - though it requires support from a majority of both chambers and as such, is currently thought unlikely to pass the Republican-controlled Senate.

Speaking to reporters at a news conference in Kiev on Thursday, Mr Zelensky said of his 25 July call with Mr Trump: "There was no blackmail. It was not the subject of our conversation."
