Here we are, a little over halfway through 2020. Events have moved so quickly that most people are having a hard time keeping up and are simply coping as best they can. More has changed in these past few months than at any other moment in our lifetimes, and many things that would have seemed unimaginable just a year ago have come to pass. 2020 has ratcheted us into an entirely new world—and it is in the nature of ratchets that they don’t move in reverse. Let’s survey the damage.China, rocked back on its heels by America’s newfound resistance to its cheating and bullying, released a plague upon the world.

What a perfect headline! So many "chickens" are coming home to roost. We should have never let them gain control of all our institutions. We shouldn't have kept voting in the incumbents year after year thinking our republic was safe. It's only going to get worse, especially if Trump wins. If that happens there had better be some serious action taken, or were done for. If he doesn't win, we're done for.

Such a powerful presentation, which should be read by all. FTA:
"Now, like the burqa-clad women of the Dar al-Islam, we all must cover our faces, except in the isolation of our homes. The effect of this is powerfully leveling and atomizing; it works in an insidious way to break down the horizontal ligatures that bind us together as a society. And as we sit unemployed at home, awaiting our relief checks, the result is an increasing deflection of all social connections from the horizontal to the vertical: away from the people around us, and toward the sovereign power above us, from which all blessings increasingly flow.
In this way, with every faceless and “socially distant” passerby now a potential carrier of pestilence, attraction gives way to repulsion. We see fewer and fewer people in person, and keep more and more to ourselves, until it all begins to feel normal. We have lost another essential feature of American life: the richly rewarding human experience of being a distinctive and self-reliant member of an organic and multidimensional civil society."

Let's pray that it turns out to be the year they got impatient and turned the flame up just a little too high and the frog noticed it was being boiled to death and jumped out.

The frog is my favorite analogy of all time. Loved the article.

Flawless commentary.
As Robespierre and, two centuries later, Pol Pot, had done, Democrats/Fascists/Progressives/Socialists/Communists/Globalists have unleashed upon us the makings of Year One. The complete re-ordering of our society.
November 3rd is where we draw the line!

Sadly, too many people are easy to lie to. They have lives, jobs and families to worry about, so they read the headlines, listen to the ''news casters'' for a few minutes after work, and accept the lies.
That is changing. Social media, which the democrats considered ''their'' weapon against the opposition has actually brought truth to many people. Big Tech, which thinks it can control it's grip on propaganda and suppression, will find that social media will boomerang against the democrat left, like all the other schemes.

Perfect commentary. Too bad it will roll off the page soon.
My nomination for a Must Read.
