Our son told us about a theory that when a nation is dying, its attention is focused on incidentals such as green energy, diversity, etc. We are a post industrial nation, we shipped most of our manufacturing overseas and dress up this destruction by saying that we are more ecologically conscious now. The thing that really frightens me is that the knowledge of how to actually make things is being lost. My husband is literally a mine of information on the wire making process. But just before the place where he worked closed down, they sent ALL the secrets of manufacturing that the company had accumulated over a century over to China. The awful thing was that the owner of the company (it had been a family concern) had no children who wanted to take over the business (his son was a homo and his daughter was simply uninterested), and he offered to let the workers buy the place. My husband was the ONLY one who pushed for this, but he got mocked, they said he just wanted to be the big boss, which he didn't. Then they whined that the didn't have salesmen, and he said, we hire them like our former boss did, but they wouldn't go for it. We might actually have wound up as millionaires, rather than scrabbling along on Social Security since the new owners looted the pension fund totally. Not to mention the disgrace of an American company founded by a man and woman working together was sold to a foreign enemy. Sic transit gloria mundi.

Well done T.L. We need an article 5 convention at a minimum. I have little hope for that but it’s still possible.

As far as race, you’d believe in race if you ever dealt with sub Saharan Africa or some of the more indigenous peoples of Asia. Call it by whatever name you want. But sub Saharan Africans are not the same creature as European whites. They have some traits that are better and some that are worse. But not the same.
