NATION: The mess we’re in

Does America really have any idea how much trouble our country is in? Do we recognize the soon-to-be existential threat voting laws, the southern border crisis, outrageous, out-of-control spending proposals, diminishing American prestige in the international community, China, inflation…?

Older generations, like me (59) were taught in elementary and high school the miraculous founding of this country, the sacrifices made by previous generations and the generosity of America.

Our kids today are taught that America is a colonizing, racist nation … that we are an awful country. Most of today’s generations have never suffered or done without. Unfortunately, they/we are going to experience this firsthand.
