America Is At A Crossroads, With The Wrong Choice Leading To Disaster

Most of us cannot evaluate equivocal information, which is essential to project future trends and events—“forwardcasting,” as I call it. In ancient times, we read the entrails of some poor beast or threw a roll of some old bones to see the future. 

Our current tendency to view everything through a prism of victimization, coupled with DEI imperatives over rational analysis, has led us to misunderstand our history and blinded us to future destruction. Let’s take off the blinders to see what we’re doing wrong and how our enemies benefit.

Aerospace is the broadest and most important contributor to our exports. Virtually every facet, from airliners, spaceships, and warplanes, all now costing two to three times what they should or are years late and suffering from interminable quality issues. 

This seemingly came out of left field, and we see Boeing falling over a cliff, producing the smallest number of aircraft in decades with no new clean-sheet airliner projects on the horizon because Boeing is broke and is no longer technically competent!

The US Navy’s new ship construction is declining even as costs and schedules soar. According to the new Biden budget proposal, China will add 20 new warships while we decommission six. Over the next 20 years, we’ll lose 20 combatants while China adds 40 new warships. Why? We can’t build on time or budget any longer.


Supplying Ukraine and other allies with vital weaponry has revealed that our defense industrial base is not up to the task of fighting a high-intensity war.

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is at its lowest level since 1983. It is only half-filled today after recent drawdowns by the Biden administration to artificially lower gas prices for American drivers solely for political purposes. Did you hear that Biden just took another million barrels from another reserve to try to lower prices temporarily?

Is the US lawless as most Americans feel, or seeing some of the lowest crime in a generation, according to Biden? The answer could be the former, as the FBI underreports crime. Why?

Can Johnnie read and do math? Only 16% of Americans believe we are going in the right direction with education. The majority of high school graduates are functionally illiterate by the standards of fifty years ago. CLICK TO CONTINUE
