We the American people are watching the American Empire descend into madness. Not only are we the people reduced to spectators, as our votes don't even remotely change foreign policy, but Congress too. This is the pattern of Empire though; which is why you never want your nation to be one. Here's Lord Salisbury describing the British Empire in 1897: “I have a strong belief that there is a danger of…believing that it is our duty to take everything we can, to fight everybody, and to make a quarrel of every dispute. That seems to me a very dangerous doctrine, not merely because it might incite other nations against us…but there is a more serious danger, that is lest we overtax our strength. However strong you may be, whether you are a man or a nation, there is a point beyond which your strength will not go. It is madness; it ends in ruin if you allow yourself to pass beyond it.”

Isn't it amazing how Congress is such a non-issue? It's as if they don't exist. Lobbied spectators. The president just stomps around the world on his own volition, restrained only by "his morality." Our "enlightened" form of government, chock full of "checks and balances."

The politician says he’s here to “help.” But the politician only adds more weight to the cross. He constantly makes it heavier with all of his “help.” Genuine help only comes from the One who carried the cross Himself.

The policies come from above Trump (this is just one of the many examples that we've seen). Trump's job is then to sell it (i.e., lie, lie, and lie) to the public ... in an entertaining way ... so they at least passively go along with it.

I do NOT believe that the Empire is accepting reality and resigning itself to a multi-polar world. There are plenty of people who buy this line of thinking. I say there's no way. Once you believe yourself to (literally) be a superior human being, and have the ambition to rule the whole earth, you don't just give that up. When you have a lot of these types of people that run a Borg-like Empire, everything and everyone must assimilate. Assimilate into what? Into it. No God ... no nations ... no cultures ... no absolute truth ... Just one universal and "diverse" pile of humanity that the Borg-like Empire will oversee - digitally - like a zookeeper. The Empire will not give this desired end up. Multi-polar negates the whole thing. Multi-polar means there are competing powers, sovereign nations, distinct cultures, religions, traditions... Multi-polar means those who are not "superior," but who are believed by the Empire to be "inferior," have their own spheres on this earth. They can be left alone. I don't believe for one second that the Empire is only interested in "its hemisphere." It wants it all ... Either now, or later.

Withdraw us from NATO and from being under the thumb of Israel. Neither serve U.S. interests.

America First ... driven out. Israel First ... celebrated.

I love technology...but its primary purpose should be serve the people; and their own individual ends that they seek. In our current environment, the primary purpose of technology is to serve the desire of totalitarians who want to put us into a digital prison. I'm happy to see people are fighting back against the data centers, and that they're being cancelled and postponed at a growing rate.

The only time the MAGA-types are good are when the Left are in power. They make good, rational and constitutional arguments. But once "their guy" is in? Horrendous. As bad as the Left. Power corrupts the politicians in power, and the minds of those who blindly cheer them on. That's why America is in the pathetic shape that it's in. Two-sides, squeezing the very life out of the nation, like a vice.
