Without Our Constitution, We're Under Occupation - americanthinker.com
Excerpt from this article:
"If you believe, as all Americans should, that failure to abide by the strictures of the Constitution renders the institutions of government illegitimate, then I would argue that 2020 has crystallized an uncomfortab le reality: we are now under occupation by a hostile governing force."

Excerpt from this article:
"In 12 years, we'll all be dead. An unstoppable force will wipe out all of humanity, most of the animals, and even some of the cockroaches. It's not climate change, it's the smugness of the true believers, the brainwashed masses of millennials who will one day be in positions to implement the absolute bat-feces crazy ideas they are espousing today."

Standing On The Promises (The Promises of God) - Worship-in-Place Orchestra, First Baptist Atlanta
If you're not familiar with this wonderful hymn, you can listen to it by going here:
Today in History - January 1 (Gregorian Calandar)
1773 The hymn that became known as "Amazing Grace", then titled "1 Chronicles 17:17-17" is first used to accompany a sermon led by John Newton in the town of Olney, Buckinghamshire, England (Source)
The following John Newton quote is from Spurgeon's Sermon Notes
"When I get to heaven, I shall see three wonders there: the first wonder will be the many people whom I did not expect to see; the second wonder will be to miss many people whom I did expect to see there; and the third and greatest wonder will be to see myself there."
You may recognize John Newton from his great song: Amazing Grace
and lesser know but equally great hymn: Day of Judgment Day of Wonders

This is a great speech. Now please read the following excerpt from Patrick Buchanan's book
The Great Betrayal: How American Sovereignty and Social Are Being Sacrificed to the Gods of the Global Economy:
"No site better captures yesterday's America than Detroit, forge and furnace of America's democracy. Detroit is the burned out case of American cities. The Empire of the Sun has its revenge. Japanese imports helped kill the city that built the weapons that destroyed the empire. Now grandsons of the soldiers of the imperial army work at high paying manufacturing jobs once held by the fathers of ten-dollar-an-hour retail clerks in Macomb County.
"But why blame the Japanese? We did it to ourselves. We Americans created a post war trading regime, in which, over 25 years, Japan bought 400,000 American cars while selling us 40 million Japanese cars, a ratio of 100:1. One president after another sat still while a third of America's greatest industry was shipped off to Japan...
"Americans no longer make their own cameras, shoes, radios, TVs, toys. A fifth of our steal, a third of our autos, half our machine tools, and two-thirds of our textiles are made abroad...
"The decline and fall of Middle America was neither preordained nor inevitable. It was engineered in Washington D.C. Wages have fallen and the standard of living of American families has stagnated because of a basic law: the law of supply and demand. The price of labor has been dropping because the supply of labor has exploded...
"Having declared free trade and open borders to be American policy, why are we surprised that corporate executives padlocked their plants in the Rust Belt and moved over seas? Why keep your plants here when you can manufacture at a fraction of the cost abroad, ship your goods back, and pocket the windfall profits that come from firing $20 an hour Americans and hiring fifty-cent-an-hour Asians? A pair of Nikes that sells for $150 in the United States costs $5 in wages to make in Indonesia. Any wonder that Nike president Philip Knight is the fifth richest man in America, with $5.2 billion, while his Indonesian workers make 31 cents an hour?"

Weekly Update --- The Real Scandal of the Spending Bill
Someone else has said:
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship and then a monarchy." (Source)
"If you knew that you could live in luxury for the rest of your life but that by doing so it would absolutely destroy the future of your children, your grandchildren, and your great-grandchildren, would you do it? Well, that is exactly what we are doing as a nation. Over the past several decades we have stolen $15 trillion dollars from future generations so that we could enjoy a dramatically inflated level of prosperity. Our 15 trillion dollar party has been a lot of fun, but what we have done to our children and our grandchildren has been beyond criminal. We ran up the greatest mountain of debt in the history of the planet and we are sticking them with the bill. Sadly, both political parties have been responsible for the big-spending that has been going on (Source)

Here is what Ann Coulter has to say about the Vietnam War (From her book,
Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism):
"Vietnam is the Left's favorite war because America lost."
"Historical accounts of the Vietnam War are incomprehensible because liberals refuse to admit the failure of their national security strategy. The only important lesson from the Vietnam War is this: Democrats lose wars."
"In the great Democratic tradition of taking the nation to war without a plan to win, only the Democrats could have produced Vietnam."
"President Lyndon Johnson, who inherited the war when Kenedy was assassinated, viewed the Vietnam War as a method of proving the Democrats could be trusted with foreign policy, which they cannot."
"Nixon had been elected in part based on his promise to end the war honorably. He would have done so, too, but for Democrats in Congress,"
"A Republican President either wouldn't have started that war, or would have won it pretty fast."

Daily Quote for Wednesday, December 30, 2020
"Today we call a person who continually rescues another person a codependent. In effect, codependent, boundaryless people, 'co-sign the note' of life for the irresponsible person. Then they end up paying the bills - physically, emotionally and spiritually - and the spendthrift continues out of control with no consequences. He continues to be loved, pampered, and treated nicely. Establishing boundaries helps codependent people stop interrupting the Law of Sowing and Reaping in their loved one's lives. Boundaries force the person who is doing the sowing to also do the reaping." - Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No, to Take Control of Your Life, by Dr. Henry Cloud & Dr. John Townsend:
