China just test fired hypersonic missiles that are so fast they render our missile defense systems impotent. General Milley was very concerned. Apparently, we were blindsided by a technology of which we are years behind the Chinese. China just launched a satellite to test “space debris mitigating technology” but the U.S. suspects it has military capabilities that can “mitigate” our satellites as well. Very handy in the event of war. China is also installing two hundred additional missile silos. How can they afford all this? Well, we are financing no small portion through our insatiable appetite for cheap stuff.
In the meantime, what are our flag waving patriots doing over here? When the country should have coalesced against a common enemy, i.e. COVID 19, we instead are throwing tantrums about vaccines and masks and ready to bear arms. When we should have accepted the results of a legal year-old election we all agreed to, we are talking about civil war. We are afraid that teaching real history will burst our sugar plum version that portrays presidents who chopped down cherry trees and never told a lie. Politicians and the media hurl pejorative terms like fascism, Marxism, and socialism at their opponents. I’m not sure they even know what they mean, or care, but they do know it sells. We have maxed out our vocabulary for hyperbolic epithets to demonize each other. There are no more. Merriam Webster just add 455 new words to the dictionary, but it is unsure if they addressed this 21st century deficiency. Each side accuses the other of being an existential threat. They finally agree on something. Ironically, that might be the only thing they are right about.
And the evangelical church has leavened the purity of the gospel with some right-wing political dogma watering down the only real solution for mankind. White Replacement Theory has more traction than Christ Replacement Theory.
Governor Gavin Newsom asked earlier this year, “What the hell is wrong with us?” Good question, Gavin.
Back to the Chinese. They are not so smart … wasting all that money on their military. Do they really think they will have to fire a shot?
How does one respond to an expression of so many truths but Amen Amen!!!!
I must say your comments do inspire Hope that there are Remnants still among us.
