The Republic Lays Upon Its Deatbed

The Democrats declared after the 2016 election and Trump’s winning the presidency that they would never let such an “aberration” ever occur again. They clearly have perfected and expanded the “margin of fraud” to a point where we can never, ever expect truly honest elections again.

Biden himself said in 2020 that the Democrats had developed a “massive voting fraud operation.” It was quickly dismissed as one of his usual verbal gaffs. In reality it was probably the only time he’s told the truth in years. At least since when he was first elected to the Senate and said to an interviewer that they “shouldn’t assume he’s honest.”

We now face a winter of cold, inflation, deprecation and a fearful prospect of an expanding war. All of which can and will feed upon the dying economy of a once great republic. All while the ChiComs and their allies salivate at the prospect of seeing us prostrate and impotent to stopping any of it.

I'm Not Depressed, Just Deeply Disappointed

The chances of the American experiment surviving another 10 years became highly questionable Tuesday night.

It's not just that the voters of this nation could vote for a severely brain damaged individual like John Fedderman is appalling it is that it's an insult to the institution of the Senate as a (formerly) respected deliberative body. A 12 year old could see that he will be nothing more than a puppet dancing to Chuck Schumer's tune.

But why not, Biden is just as mentally incapacitated and just as if not even more controlled.

The Democrats got us out of a seemingly endless war in Afghanistan in the most disgraceful way possible and are now determined to get us into an even more disasterous and far more dangerous war on Ukraine with a nuclear armed Russia. 

Once again Europeans seem determined to settle their differences and assuage their paranoias with American blood and treasure. Except we don't have any treasure left, just mountains of debt and wishful thinking based on increasing worthless paper.

The saying used to be that "old men start wars that young men die in." The current batch of old men and fools are apparently looking to change that to "olden start wars that EVERYBODY DIES IN."

And for what? To step into the middle of another cultural conflict that been going on since at least 15th century? To prop up the government of a dictatorship rife with outright Nazis? To finance and arm a regime that is just as corrupt, oppressive and murderous as the one we are being told we must stand against?

So I'd say shame on the American voters and Congress if they don't stand up and say NO loudly and decisively. But right at this moment I'm not sure that a lot of them are intelligent enough to even feel any shame. 

If we are lucky this winter will only be one of cold and deprivation, both here and in Europe. If we're not it will be one of blinding irradiation.

But we probably shouldn't be all that surprised. Since when has mankind ever really learned from the lessons of our previous mistakes? Why are we so determined to compound them and make the consequences repeating our mistakes worse than the previous round of death and destruction.

The Great War was a disaster of carnage and death never before seen. But instead of finding solutions that had any hope of mitigating our tribal enmities, a treaty was created that assured that they would reemerge. And re-emerge they did as an even more brutal and blood hungry, gapping maw eager to swallow even more of humanity.

So now here we sit. A nation of fools governed by clowns all to determined to make the next batch of horrors even worse than the last two combined. Given man's history and our current trajectory and seeing as the last one ended with the introduction of relatively small nuclear weapons what chance do we really have to escape from the next disaster of arrogance, stupidity and hubris?
