"Wars and rumors of wars."
If not a review of, or a lesson in Scripture (from the Book of Matthew), what then?
We watch our world on fire with eyes wide open and mouths agape.
From the moment the Biden administration, cut and ran from Afghanistan, our planet became a dangerous place.
Stunned, we watched with horror as the very same D.C. national security team delivered its next expensive disaster: Ukraine.
This was a deterrable war.
It continues now with no strategy to end it.
What we hear from Team Biden are fresh demands for taxpayers hard earned dollars amounting to billions!
All to keep World War I-styled killing fields supplied.
All with no planned audits in sight.
We'd better keep our individual and collective heads on swivels.
This is not said lightly, or a haphazard attempt at humor.
Global fissures get to a boiling point. Ignoring those signs leads to catastrophe.
Think Weimar Germany and Harry Truman sending "advisers" to Vietnam in the last century, as examples.
The war we always feared broke out on Oct. 7.
We watched Hamas barbarians slaughter 1400 souls, reveling in their heinous butchery, victim by innocent victim; and kidnapping infants after murdering their parents.
Quite predictably, the propaganda machine to support Hamas went into overdrive.
Our own leaders didn’t even blush opening their diatribes with, "We stand with Israel," before lecturing the country on what Israel should and should not do.
Israel is crystal clear; there will be no negotiating with Hamas.
Burning children alive tends to have this effect on military planning.
By now, Hezbollah and the Houthis likely understand that they are next in the batting order. Our hapless national security team is out of their class, depth, and competency.
Our forces continue to sit in the region without "rules of engagement" to defend themselves or a strategy for why America remains in Iraq and Syria.
Sitting ducks for Iranian rockets.
Meanwhile, in Asia, Africa and now, Central/South America, there is no sign that paths to conflict prevention exist.
And as bad as that is . . .
Our historically twisted view that wars don’t happen here at home, interrupted by Pearl Harbor and Sept. 11, 2001, may require our immediate and stone-cold sober attention.
Our borders have been wide open since Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas took up his post in 2021 with over seven million illegal immigrants invading us since his confirmation.
As incredulous as it is, he still hasn't been impeached.
The executive branch is in clear breach of U.S. Constitution, Article IV, Section IV:
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence."
The word "invasion" in that passage is the clincher.
Millions have violated our sovereignty, most of them fighting age men if you closely follow the work of War Correspondent, Michael Yon in Panama.
These are not the folks that made it to Ellis Island in the 1800s, and the turn of the last century.
Most of them have no desire to adopt American values for a new life.
Ask yourself what terrorist groups are represented among them, inclusive of Hezbollah and Hamas?
Even the People’s Liberation Army is showing up by the thousands.
Marxist Democrats and "Uniparty" Republicans are overjoyed with new voters and cheap labor.
All on your tab.
Speaking of tabs, the Republicans just released a report totaling up the costs.
This Deep State population replacement game is costing We the People about half a trillion per year.
Don’t forget the trillion-plus per year we spend on national security for no apparent reason.
Money is the secondary concern.
Your safety is first.
Look carefully at how the administration and mainstream media encourage the antisemite protests, now in the millions globally.
How long until these events resemble the 2020 "Summer of Love" and the BLM/Antifa destruction of our cities?
Think: The Big Apple.
As an example, what would it look like if the undermanned underfunded NYPD had to confront the 118,000 illegals camped out in the Mayor Eric Adams appropriated hotels?
If the fighting age men from west Africa which effectively own the once grand, Roosevelt Hotel saw their "free taxpayer money" taken away, or they responded to media magnified calls to jihad?
Is it wild speculation that we would see an Oct. 7-style attack, with all the barbarism waged against innocent Americans?
Expand your thinking; what if this took place in all our cities simultaneously?
Would the media cover up American children being decapitated because Community Standards were violated?
Would the media and politicos just slink away, hiding from We the Disillusioned? Would we be accepting of government messaging that we have to protect the innocent illegals?
You are in danger.
In our major cities, we have potential killers walking among us. They are watching us. They are getting ready.
Divest yourself of the notion that foreign wars stay foreign.
Your government has broken faith with all of us which may cause many of us to pay the ultimate price right here at home.
This enemy hates you because you are American. Now you understand Israel.
Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Sweden, and Norway have a new initiative to return migrants to their country of origin and deport illegal residents to their home countries —immediately.
Deportations from the U.S. must begin now and continue — unabated.
