The worst thing that has a negative impact on the USA is the undue influence of lobbyists. The democrats and republicans politicians we align with a lobbyist against the will of the people. For example, the Kentucky bourbon industry lobbyists gave Kentucky Republican lead senate 8.5 million dollars to keep marijuana illegal in Kentucky. The majority of people want it legalized or at least voted on.

The Department of DUHMACATION has DUMB DOWN AMERICANS for past 44 years that they believe anything the FAKE News (cnn, etc.) says and nobody does their homework or worse, THINK for THEMSELVES.
WHY does the Head of School Union make $499,000 a year who is trying to CLOSE SCHOOLS?
They kept you stupid so you wouldn’t question their FASCIST agenda today.
And I have to say, it worked because NONE of YOU are FIGHTING BACK TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY AND YOUR CHILDREN WILL CURSE YOU FOR IT SINCE THEY ARE THE ONES WHO WILL REALLY PAY THE PRICE.

I’ll admit my childhood was much less eventful and complicated than my grandchildren are experiencing now. However, the world is much the same as it was 5000 years ago. Different problems of course but humankind is always the same. I hate what is happening to the world’s children in particular. We need trust in the Lord especially when times are evil. Pay attention to today’s events,,Do what you can to change what is bad,,and above all pray for the world and your loved ones.

Very sad to see this happening but I said it before, it’s all by design.
This has been happening for 100 years and we are watching our country being destroyed from within.
We the people is definitely a thing of the past. The Supreme Court was used in the decline. Remove prayer from schools, legalize and pay for abortions in all 50 states was really a great turning point and the turn was down.
Then of course with the election of Barack Obama things really started to happen. Now with the defund the police and open borders the destruction of this country is full steam ahead.
At this point We the People are living in a country that we do not recognize.
Hopefully with Prayer and Voting history might repeat itself and God will save the United States of America

Personally, i believe that democrats and or leftists, have turned into a Satanic cult in which they are taught and indoctrinated from a young age to lie and spread evil everywhere they go! They have taken over and ruined the legacy media, the educational indoctrination system, Hollywierd, video games and worst of all, social media. Our schools are now filled with pedophiles and groomers, not teachers as we once knew them to be. It’s no wonder many young people think the way they do. They get hooked on drugs and committ unspeakable crimes because the left has indoctrinated them so well! Morals mean zero to leftists and it shows. They’ve taken away any religion from schools and replaced it with hate, racism and sexual confusion. The country really is unrecognizable from what it once was, not that long ago!

Actually, the correct answer is “All of the above”. Unfortunately, America’s greatest strength, personal freedom, has become her greatest weakness as individual accountability and self-discipline have waned dramatically during the past several decades under the tutelage and “leadership” of a corrupt two-party political system, a bottom feeding legal system, an in-bred hothouse academia and education system, a shallow and extremely biased media culture and the enablement of social media addiction and self-serving technology that has taken character development to the lowest levels. The saddest part is watching the sacrifices of so many being trampled into the dust under the guises of political correctness, diversity, inclusion, tolerance, etc.

It’s not possible to pick just one issue, but I believe our turning away from God has caused everything else. We forced God out of our schools and our government. Yet, when things go wrong we ask “where is God.” Well, he did what we asked and he left. We need to turn back to him and ask for his forgiveness.

I recall days in parochial school that when a person entered the classroom, we’d all stand up and respect them and welcome them to our classroom. The teacher rarely had to prompt us to do this. We were conditioned that respect to elders was not optional. We were taught to pray, to pledge allegiance to our country, to respect our fellow man. But once they took God out of the school equation, when God was no longer allowed in our classrooms, our colleges, our public buildings, etc. — all calamity broke out. WHAT THE HELL DID YOU EXPECT WOULD HAPPEN…

The Dems and their mainstream media are a symptom. But, every time the GOP has been in charge in the last 30 years, they have done no better. The GOP is loudest when it is not in charge. When it is in charge, we hear “We have to reach across the aisle” (I’m accusing you, Mitch) rather than hear “We have a correction to the evil that the country has embraced.” The elites in Washington pass laws for us and exempt themselves. They tell us to tighten our belts while their bellies get fatter.
Outside of D.C., the leftist locusts destroy their own cities, swarm the rest of the country to destroy it with their “progressive” policies, and then blame the law-abiding fly-over country for the destruction.
I am praying for another Great Awakening because, short of the true Gospel, there is no good news ahead.
There were no “good old days” behind and there are no “golden years” ahead. Prosperity has made us complacent and, thus, complicit. Repent and then revive this great country.

It is interesting that the very people who have turned a blind eye to the growing evil and infiltration, all because of their retirement accounts and “free” healthcare, are now bemoaning that things have changed. Like frogs in the pot. Stop whining and join the fight to reclaim our country, and world, for God. There is an objective truth, and He saves us when we seek Him with a humble heart. And, we did not turn our backs on “religion”, we turned our backs on God, Our Creator.

Faith is at the heart of America. It is what our Declaration of Independence is based upon. It is at the core of our Constitutional Republic. It is what has brought the Blessings if God to our country over the years. As we have moved further and further away from God, He has removed His hand from our country, and the blessings have been decreasing. Now we are in free fall! Time to return to God before it is too late! He is waiting with open arms. He loves you!

The book of Romans, in the New Testament, is clear that moral depravity is the result of idolatry (placing anyone or anything before God) Romans 1:18-32. We are seeing the results of idolatry – looking to government to solve our problems instead of joining with a community of believers to support the poor within our churches and synagogues. Placing career above all else. Putting pleasure above everything.
Jesus said that the mark of his church is love for one another. Love includes making sure everyone has enough and holding one another accountable to living a moral life (see 1 Corinthians 5:1-13). Please note that the Apostle Paul, in this passage is speaking to the church to work within the church.
Jesus Christ died for our sins, our part is to repent of our sin and believe in Him and receive the forgiveness he provides. If you understand your own depravity in contrast to God’s holiness, the weight of Jesus’ sacrifice on your behalf.
Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and everything you need will be provided by him.

Extremely poor policies by the Biden administration has caused extreme problems. Stopping and overregulation of the oil energy sector, printing and injecting trillions of dollars into the economy as stimulus has caused super high inflation. Few to many goods produced in America, and too much reliance on foreign countries for products that should be made here. Then there are the Democrat Socialists, unfortunately, unethical,shameless losers. If you want America back you will have to eliminate Democrats, Rino’s and their supporters or the decline will only continue. Trump showed us what those people are, it is up to us to finish what has been started. One person cannot do it alone.
