10 Steps to Save America
Yes, there is a way. But is there the will?
By Victor Davis Hanson
December 18, 2022

Most Americans know something has gone terribly wrong—and very abruptly—with the United States. They are certain that our wounds are almost all self-inflicted. The current pathologies are not a result of a natural disaster, an exhaustion of natural resources, plagues, or an existential war. 

Crushing national debt and annual deficits, spiraling food and fuel costs amid “normal” seven-percent-plus annual inflation, bread-and-circuses entitlements, a nonexistent border, a resurgence of racial tribalism, pandemic violent criminality, and humiliation abroad—all these pathologies are easily cited as symptoms of a sick patient. Our crises are not as the Left maintains—a nine-person Supreme Court, the Electoral College, or the filibuster—all distractions from existential problems the Left largely created. 

So, what are the therapies and prognoses for America?

In the spirit of constructive rather than blanket criticism, here is a partial, 10-point plan of national recovery.

One step to saving America - Stop government from spending money it doesn't have.

That one action will fix every problem we have.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Exactly....

Americans are expected to live within their means wthout an endless credit line or blank check.

In the last 40 years DC has built a Ponzi-ed system that bilks our tax dollars into one mad drunken spending spree.

1789 won't come soon enough.....

The Vatican defrocks a priest who speaks for unborn children
By Pandra Selivanov

I have been watching the TV series The Chosen, and it’s a remarkable experience to see such a depiction of Jesus’ life through the eyes of the people who knew Him. One episode that is particularly close to my heart is entitled Jesus Loves The Little Children. The Master is teaching and playing with a group of children who discover His camp outside of town. Jonathan Roumie, the actor portraying Jesus, did a wonderful job with the children.

The episode reminded me strongly of one of my favorite stories in the Bible, Mark 10:13-16, where Jesus asks for the children:

    People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.’ And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.

Only one step needed.  Put it back in the chains the constitution provides.

That will fix 99.9% of it right there.
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Also missed imprisonment of criminal liberal and socialist law makers, who are 90% complicit in stealing $30T from the American taxpayer.

Alas, no, though it would be a start.  Even with a balanced Federal budget, the baleful influences of the Frankfurt School, Gramsci, Foucault and post- and anti-colonialist Leninists in the form of their idiot children, the woke, who have metastasized from academe to sicken even corporate board rooms and the Joint Chiefs would still cause problems, including the misspending of tax money on programs actually harmful to the country.
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.
