How are people supposed to have faith in a system that is this broken?

When I was young, I often wondered what it must have been like to live during the fall of the Roman Empire.  Unfortunately, now I have a pretty good idea.  Just like the Roman Empire, the United States is falling.  Every day our decline gets even more pronounced, and you can see evidence of this all around us.  Virtually all of our major institutions are crumbling, and virtually all of our most critical systems are failing.  We tend to blame our problems on our politicians, but the truth is that the rot that is rapidly spreading throughout our society runs a lot deeper than that.  Millions upon millions of us have completely rejected the values that this nation was founded upon, and so now we have a giant mess on our hands.  The following are 12 absolutely insane examples that show just how far the U.S. has fallen…

#1 A social media influencer that returned a couch to Costco after using it for more than two years is telling her followers to buy all of their furniture from Costco because “you can return it when you don’t like it anymore”…

A woman named Jackie shared she bought a couch from Costco over two and a half years ago, in a video posted last week to TikTok that’s attracted nearly 3 million views.

Jackie admits she was nervous to return the large item to the warehouse store and felt intimidated by other shoppers staring at her while waiting in line.

“But who cares. Return it. They have an awesome return policy,” she tells her followers. “Buy your furniture from Costco, girl. You can return it when you don’t like it anymore.”

#2 The U.S. Navy is having a really difficult time recruiting young people, and so they have decided that a radical new approach is needed.  From now on, a high school diploma will no longer be necessary…

“We get thousands of people into our recruiting stations every year that want to join the Navy but do not have an education credential,” said the branch’s chief of personnel Vice Admiral Rick Cheeseman. “And we just turn them away.”

Now the Navy will accept some of those potential recruits lacking a high school diploma or GED, assuming they’re able to score 50 or above on a qualification test.

The move comes after the service previously lowered their qualification requirements in 2022, again amidst recruitment challenges. The Navy is the only branch of the US armed forces that admits applicants who score below 30 out of 100 on the qualification test. Officials say some positions, such as in maintenance or food preparation, don’t require a conventional education.

#3 Three years ago, the city of Portland decriminalized the possession of all drugs.  Let’s check in and see how that is working out…

Oregon leaders have declared a 90-day state of emergency in Portland to battle the city’s debilitating fentanyl crisis three years after decriminalizing possession of all drugs.

Governor Tina Kotek, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler and Multnomah County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson made the declaration and are directing their agencies to work with first responders in connecting people addicted to the synthetic opioid with resources including drug treatment programs and to crack down on drug sales.

#4 Western Oregon University has found a way to keep students from failing.  D- and F grades will no longer be earned by anyone because they are being abolished…

Citing a wrongheaded “GPA fixation,” Western Oregon University leaders have announced plans to abolish D- and F grades for students.

They will replace them with “no credit” in an effort to support student success and encourage struggling undergrads to continue their education despite obstacles, they said.

The public university announced in a news release this month the changes would start in the fall.

#5 From this point forward, every police officer in El Paso, Texas will be forced to ask for the preferred pronouns of every person that they encounter…

The policy, called “Constitutional Policing,” was introduced in December 2023; however, it was not implemented until January 2024 and will require officers to ask every person they encounter, “How would you like to be referred to?”

The gender-inclusive policy was created with the help of the Borderland Rainbow Center, an “LGBTQ Community Center,” in El Paso, Texas, and exists so that LGBTQ “people and their allies can heal, grow, and empower themselves and others.” The director of the center, Amber Perez, told a local news station, “This is just the start.”

“The most important thing is that we can’t change the past,” Perez said. “[B]ut what we can do is take this first moment and run with it and continue the conversation and be able to speak to each other with respect.”

#6 A group of migrants that was caught on camera physically attacking cops in Times Square was shocking released without even having to post bail…

Police officers and other critics are slamming Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for refusing to seek bail for the rowdy migrants arrested after allegedly being caught on camera attacking NYPD cops in Times Square.

Veteran police officers fumed to The Post Saturday that Bragg made a mockery of the entire justice system by letting five migrants walk after they were arraigned Wednesday on charges of second-degree assault on a police officer and obstruction of governmental administration in the shocking Jan. 27 beatdown.

“Alvin Bragg just showed all New Yorkers that the Police Department doesn’t matter to him,” said an NYPD detective with more than two decades on the job.

It has been reported that the migrants were seen getting on a bus to California, and so hopefully someone can track them down before they disappear completely.

#7 A group of pro-life activists in Tennessee face 11 years in prison for praying and singing outside of an abortion clinic…

Nearly three years ago several pro-Life activists held a prayer rally at a Tennessee abortion clinic.

The Christian protesters prayed and sang hymns.

They were sitting peacefully in the lobby of the abortion center.

The protesters included: Chester Gallagher, 73, of Lebanon, Tennessee; Heather Idoni, 58; Calvin Zastrow, 57; and Caroline Davis, 24; all of Michigan; Coleman Boyd, 51, of Bolton, Mississippi; Dennis Green, 56, of Cumberland, Virginia; and Paul Vaughn, 55, of Centerville, Tennessee.

#8 The 24-year-old aide to U.S. Senator Ben Cardin that was filmed having gay sex in a Senate hearing room will not be charged with breaking any laws…

As reported earlier – The United States Capitol Police have concluded their investigation into a controversial incident involving Aidan Maese-Czeropski, a 24-year-old former aide to Democratic Senator Ben Cardin of Maryland.

Maese-Czeropski had been embroiled in a scandal after a sexually explicit video recorded in the Senate hearing room surfaced online.

The video, which depicted Maese-Czeropski and his partner engaging in anal sex inside the Senate Hearing Room, sparked nationwide controversy. Clad only in a g-string jockstrap, Maese-Czeropski was seen atop the senator’s desk, a setting traditionally reserved for grave legislative deliberations and Supreme Court confirmation hearings.

#9 Violent carjackers are fearlessly roaming the streets of Washington D.C., and anyone that resists one of those young carjackers can end up dead.  Sadly, that is precisely what just happened to an official that worked in the Trump administration…

Former Trump Administration official Mike Gill has died after being shot in front of his wife during a carjacking in Washington DC.

Gill, a married father of three, was shot by Artell Cunningham on K Street NW about 5.45pm last Monday and died in hospital on Saturday.

He was collecting his wife, an education lawyer, when he was shot inside the car by the attacker. He stumbled outside the vehicle and collapsed.

#10 The Chinese and other foreign buyers are purchasing millions of acres of U.S. farmland, but nobody knows exactly how much farmland they now own and very few of our politicians are interested in stopping this practice…

America is seeing more and more of its most fertile land snapped up by China and other foreign buyers, yet problems with how the US tracks such data means it’s difficult to know just how much, according to a report.

Foreign ownership and investment in property such as farmland, pastures and forests jumped to about 40 million acres in 2021, up 40% from 2016, according to the US Department of Agriculture data. But an analysis conducted by the US Government Accountability Office — a non-partisan watchdog that reports to Congress — found mistakes in the data, including the largest land holding linked with China being counted twice. Other issues include the challenge of enforcing a US law that requires foreigners to self-report such purchases, the report said, citing USDA.

#11 So many radical Muslims have moved into Dearborn, Michigan that the Wall Street Journal is referring to it as “America’s Jihad Capital”…

A Michigan suburb with the largest Muslim population in the US has upped its security in fear of hate attacks after it was branded America’s ‘jihad capital.’

The headline of a Wall Street Journal opinion piece published on Friday read ‘Welcome to Dearborn, America’s Jihad Capital’ – a title given to the city by the publication because of its residents’ pro-Palestine stances.

#12 A teacher in Massachusetts that had a spotless record for 23 years was fired after she revealed the truth about what was really going on in her school…

“Bonnie Manchester had a spotless record in 23 years as a teacher at Baird Middle School. She laid it all on the line when she saw what was now happening to vulnerable children,” the organization reported. “Bonnie Manchester is a Christian middle school teacher who was fired from her job in 2021. Her ‘crime’ was informing a father and mother that school officials were referring to their daughter as a boy and keeping it secret from them.”

How are people supposed to have faith in a system that is this broken?

Unfortunately, things are only going to get worse.

As a society, we are the most divided that we have been in modern times, and with each passing day more foreigners that have come into this country illegally pour into U.S. cities that are already overwhelmed by crime, drugs, violence, homelessness and depravity.

The stage is being set for chaos on a scale that most Americans never even dreamed would be possible.

The election of 2024 is going to be the most divisive election that any of us have ever seen, our economic problems are rapidly accelerating, and global events threaten to turn all of our lives completely upside down.

So I hope that you have been getting prepared, because things will soon start breaking loose in a major way.

“How in the hell do we come up with a $53 million pilot program for illegals, but folks who are here legally, who are born here, we don’t have enough for them?” asks Stephen A. Smith

A top sports commentator has warned that Democrat policies clearly prioritizing the needs of illegal aliens over those of American citizens could fuel Donald Trump’s return to the White House.

During an episode of his popular show this week, ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith slammed a program being rolled out in New York City whereby illegal aliens will receive $53 million via prepaid debit cards to finance their lifestyles in the Big Apple.

“We’ve got poor, impoverished, starving people who were born and raised in this nation,” Smith railed. “How in the hell do we come up with a $53 million pilot program for illegals, but folks who are here legally, who are born here, we don’t have enough for them?”

“Just like we can come up with billions for Ukraine, but somehow, someway, we can’t fix the homeless problem.”

Smith, a staunch leftist, asked how U.S. authorities can justify printing monumental amounts of money to send overseas but won’t do the same to benefit Americans in need amid ongoing economic woes and explosive surges in the costs of basic goods and services.

“That’s why Trump is on the verge of getting elected, because when he was in office there was a flourishing economy,” he said.

Smith’s comments come just days after he blasted Democrats for not putting up a strong candidate against Trump, asserting that Joe Biden is too old and frail for the task.

“What the hell have you been doing that in the year 2024 you have to rely on an 82-year-old to beat a 78-year-old man with four indictments, 91 counts against him?” Smith said during an appearance on the Howard Stern Show in late January.

“I’m not enamored with either candidate. I don’t like Trump because I think that he’ll cause civil war in this country, and I think he will be on a vengeance tour as the president of the United States if he were to get reelected.”

“I would vote for Biden any day of the week ahead of Trump,” he concluded.

Canada Ends Plan To Murder Handicapped People After Professionals Revolt

The man’s poor mental state has become undeniable

Some of the most high-profile people in American politics are calling attention to the fact that Joe Biden’s repeated and increasing mental lapses have rendered him unfit for office.

A recent Special Counsel report asserted Biden is too mentally unsound to be charged with illegally holding classified documents at his home, and he responded with a press conference trying to dispel rumors he has dementia.

However, even the impromptu White House speech was chock-full of mental gaffes.

GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana bluntly stated on social media, “The President’s press conference this evening further confirmed on live television what the Special Counsel report outlined. He is not fit to be President.”

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. talked with ex-CNN anchor Chris Cuomo about whether or not Biden is fit to serve as POTUS, saying, “I think we’ve reached a time where it’s no longer character assassination to ask legitimate questions about the President’s competency.”

He also noted, “The American people have a right to understand whether their President is capable of making” complex decisions.

Explaining why a senile puppet would benefit the ruling class, RFK pointed out, “There are entrenched interests and special interests in government that actually benefit from having a president who is not completely competent.”

GOP Texas Governor Greg Abbott commented on the Special Counsel report, writing on social media, “What a stunning indictment of a sitting President.”

He later asked, “Who is in charge? America deserves to know!”

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) stated, “He’s unfit for the presidency—and there’s a two-tiered justice system.”

House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik wrote, “Joe Biden is unfit to be President of the United States.”

Stefanik, Speaker Johnson, Majority Leader Scalise, and Majority Whip Emmer released a joint statement about Biden’s broken brain on Thursday.

They told the American people:

“The Special Counsel’s finding that President Biden ‘willfully retained and disclosed classified materials’ and engaged in practices that ‘present serious risks to national security’ is deeply disturbing.“

“Not only does it demonstrate the President’s recklessness, but exposes a two-tiered system of justice that is indicting one President with politically motivated charges while carrying water for another amid similar allegations.“

“Among the most disturbing parts of this report is the Special Counsel’s justification for not recommending charges: namely that the President’s memory had such ‘significant limitations’ that he could not convince a jury that the President held a ‘mental state of willfulness’ that a serious felony requires.A man too incapable of being held accountable for mishandling classified information is certainly unfit for the Oval Office.“

25th Amendment trends online after thousands call for Biden’s removal from office

Joe Biden delivered a last-minute White House speech after the release of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report investigating him for illegally keeping classified documents at his Delaware home and separate private office.

The report found Biden did violate the law while stopping short of pressing felony charges because a jury would allegedly find him too senile and mentally fragile to be charged.

During his emergency deflection speech, Biden only made things worse by making several brain blunders.

Sleepy Joe said he wears a rosary his dead son Beau used to wear, but couldn’t remember where his son got it from.

He later called the President of Egypt “the president of Mexico.”

Lastly, Biden said he is the president of both “red and green states” in the U.S.

When a media member asked Biden about his mental fitness, he became irate and shouted, “That is your judgement! That is not the judgement of the press.”

“His brain is rotting right in front of us. Very dangerous,” wrote Alex Jones.

Even far-left lunatic Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks slammed both Biden and the media for gaslighting the American people by pretending the gaffes never happened and that Biden is sharp as a tack.

Dozens of people went to social media calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked against Biden over his mental lapses.

One man suggested Republicans hold off on invoking the 25th Amendment and let the Democrats deal with the stooge they’ve forced upon the American people.

It’s hard to imagine having to go through another four years of watching the senile puppet erode before our very eyes.
