Regardless of what we think will happen in our political machinations, the beat of the drums never ceases. Corruption marches on, the money and power stays in the same hands. The deep state, uniparty now uses the corrupt federal DOJ to eliminate its enemies.

In the past it was the bullet. Lincoln, JFK, RFK, MLK. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Key point that too many people don't want to believe or even discuss: "Trump maxes Democrat turnout, is wildly unpopular among Independents, and is so well known at this point, there are very, very few people he can 'win over.'"

If he were again in office, I think he'd do many things that range from good to great, but I don't think he can actually win.

Thanks for answering mine! That is pretty much the conclusion I came to. If you had to pick some news sources that are slightly better than the rest, what would you pick?

I can tell you the news sources I hit the most are...

There are a lot of other places I go to research things and news I get from social media (and check elsewhere, etc), but those are ones I check pretty regularly.

Good questions. Great answers. Here's my question for the next go around: what do you think the trigger will be to finally awaken the Gracken i.e. the still sane and emotionally balanced citizens of the US, to seize ownership of this country back from the traitorous haters of America?

I think the country needs a cultural and/or religious awakening to truly get back on track and it's possible, although I hope not, that we may need to hit rock bottom to get there. The country is increasingly breaking and going backward as a lot of us can see, but it may take something truly disastrous to get a large majority of Americans to realize that what we're doing isn't working and there are timeless principles we can embrace to fix it.

The concern I have is our culture has almost if not completely reached the maximum swing left of the pendulum. I doubt that the swing to the extreme right will be moderate or slow. What do you think that will look like? There are signs that the moderates are awakening - the viral hit Rich Men North of Richmond, which seems to be organic, not contrived. Oliver Anthony, if he's not legitimate, then the left as considerably upped their game. The Angel Studio production of The Sound of Freedom was not silenced, though Disney tried. Parents finally standing up to their school boards and activist teachers getting fired, and a few states shutting down the abomination of child mutilation are positive signs that standing up and shouting "We won't take it anymore" is on the rise. The Bud Light and Target and Disney smack-downs have shown that moderates will strike back. Is it too little, too late?
