As Americans know from their own illustrious history, any nation’s well-being hinges on only a few factors. Its prosperity, freedom and overall stability depend on its constitutional and political stability. A secure currency and financial order are also essential, as is a strong military.

Perhaps most important is a first-rate inductive educational system. Of course, nothing is possible without general social calm (often dependent on a reverence for the past) and secure borders.

The ability to produce or easily acquire food, fuel and key natural resources ensures a nation’s independence and autonomy.

Unfortunately, in the last few months, all of those centuries-old reasons to be confident in American strength and resiliency have been put into doubt.

Unfortunately ALL true. We are no longer energy independent and gas prices are rising, the,cost of food is unbelievably expensive, our educational system has lost all integrity and there hasn't been calm for almost a year.

We have lost our Republic.  It's time to figure out where we go from here. Sitting back and just letting things unfold, thinking that we can change things in 2022 is absolutely ridiculous and absurd.

FREEDOM IS OURS FOR THE TAKING!

A uniformly excellent piece, worth reading all of it.
