A Sense of Foreboding Falls Over the Land

Oh, to have President Reagan back for a while: "We Win, They Lose."

Can you feel it?

A sense of foreboding fills the air so thickly one can almost physically touch it and grasp it. Or, is it the one doing the grasping?

A four-star general with 40 years of active duty service states publicly that this is the most dangerous time for the world he has seen in his entire military career.

The headlines this morning from all over the world scream that a massive attack on Israel by Iran may be just a few hours away.

Mobs of morons are storming across the campuses and cities of America-and throughout the world — loudly proclaiming their support for the animals of October 7 and demanding that Israel, unlike any nation in the history of warfare, not defend itself against enemies who viciously repeat, day in and day out, “Death to Israel!”

Other headlines suggest that Israel’s leadership is having a massive bunker prepared from which they can govern the country in the event of the anticipated attack.

That China has not invaded Taiwan while viewing the weakened status of America with its senile “president” and its ignoramus vice president is, quite simply, a miracle.

Islamic mobs are, as I write this, taking over the streets of London and other major cities in the UK; law and order are rapidly breaking down as the invasion of Islamo-terrorists continues; and law enforcement appears reticent to step in as it might be regarded as “inflammatory.”

Putin continues to grind up Ukraine’s youth like the machine in a McDonald’s kitchen and is answered — firmly, and with manly resolve and power! — by Biden-Harris-Blinken with so many billions for Ukraine no one can actually account for all the money we have sent the deeply corrupt regime of the former comedian, now the president of that almost totally decimated country.

France just opened its Olympics with a show deliberately designed to deeply offend and insult Christians the world over by ridiculing that which no one ever dared ridicule before — Our Lord’s Last Supper.

And our government’s response to all this madness?

Biden to meet with national security team as threats of Iranian attack against Israel rise

All manner of responses suggest themselves, but the fact of the matter is that the President of the United States has no idea he is even in the Situation Room, much less understands whatever discussion his caretakers are having around him. I’m sure this headline and photo are supposed to assure the American public that strong hands — Harris, Mayorkas, Rowe (the outrageously incomeptent head of the Secret Service who was appointed to take the place of the outrageously incompetent former Director) and Blinken) — are guiding our beloved Republic through these perilous times.

God help us.

    Reaganomics was called that because Reagan had a plan he outlined during the campaign. All Biden did was create the portmanteau because he also has a two syllable last name that ends in a similar sound to econ. There was no plan beyond general ineptitude and failed economic policy.

    “We Win, They Lose.”

    Who's "We" and "They". When Reagan said it I know, that as a fervent anti-communist, he meant that we=USA and they=USSR. If Biden/Harris said that line today, I think that he means we=CCP and they=patriots.
