Are we at war?  Are we prepared to wage a war?  Are our fighting forces capable of fighting a war?  What are we as Americans prepared for as a result of war?  These are questions we need answered today.

Let me begin by stating that these are my thoughts and opinions.  Agreement or disagreement with anything I say is welcome.  When responding please keep one thing in mind, base the responses on facts.  Name calling and false accusations accomplish nothing so let’s work together to keep our discussions amiable.

Yes, we are at war.  At this time it is an economic war.  Many countries around the world are working diligently to destroy our economy while building theirs.  You can look at any port on the face of the globe and find ships laden with goods to be sold here and replace American made goods.  Take a trip to your local grocery store and make your normal purchases, look closely at them.  Separate the ones that are marked made in America from those made in China.  Choose American products and see just how little extra you pay.  That way we can win the war.

Yes, we are at war.  Once we were a proud, secure nation.  Now we are not only encouraging illegal immigrants to come, we are welcoming them and giving the wealth of our nation to them.  The only way to win this war and remain a free and independent nation is to secure our borders.  The next step is to track down the illegals and deport them back from whence they came.  They can work to change their home country and not try to destroy ours.  If you feel sympathy and want to help these illegals drive them back home, stay with them and help in their fight for their country.

Yes, we are at war.  This war is good versus evil.  Both sides firmly believe their side is good and the other is evil.  Not all of either side is totally good or totally evil, both sides have good intentions but are afraid or ashamed to bring them out in public.  The American people must realize that we have more in common with each other than true differences when divided.  We must forget the vanity and unite to rid our country of the evil.  Continuing down the present path will lead to destruction of our way of life and our country.  Other nations will then jump at the opportunity to take over in the wake of our self-destruction. 

No, we are not in a shooting war, yet.  China is rattling its sabers trying to gain world domination while our present government crawls back in fear and does little if anything to make us feel secure.  Russia is trying desperately to return to the grandeur of days past and the U.S.S.R with us as their puppet.  Our military is not preparing to counter these threats.  Instead we want all people in uniform to feel good and be happy.  We want to change men into women and women into men at taxpayer expense and maintain political correctness no matter the cost.  We must wake up to woke and react. 

If a shooting war were to erupt would our populace respond as they did in previous wars, before Korea.  Beginning with Korea and moving forward we have been involved in political wars with politicians trying to direct the offense.  If we must fight, let our fighting men do their job and keep the politicians out.  Mandatory service might be one way to wake our spoiled youth to what is required to retain the freedom and liberty they have enjoyed thus far.  My greatest fear is the outbreak of an actual shooting war.  It will not be the same as wars in the past have been.  Today’s war might only last a few hours and could very well destroy life on this planet.  We must build up and be strong to defend against other countries and their pending invasions.

We are pushing toward war, on many fronts, and our present administration is too blind to see or even notice.  This administration has no clue as to what is happening much less what to do to counter it.  We must unite and above all vote and prepare for what is to come.

We need people to teach and be examples to our young people.  Teach them true history, teach them morals and most of all teach them respect.  The parents of Louden County in Virginia are a shining example of what has to happen.  They are challenging the schools and stopping the teachings of racism and critical race theory.  Programs like Project 1619 must be stopped before entering the doors of public education.  The war to save America is roaring and we all have a job to do to stop it and save ourselves and our country.

It is very easy to comfort many people with lies, however, as for me I would rather be hurt but only with the truth.
