We’ve been all torn up about the missing submersible all week.  Then comes word that the U. S. Navy picked up the sound of an implosion while the little craft was diving.  They’ve known for days, but absent confirmation, still had hope.  Now the debris has been found.  Apparently the company selling seats was warned, but didn’t want to listen.  

Whistle-blowers are coming out of the woodwork, and the administration is playing defense.  You’ve heard the claims, investigations shut down by powerful departments.  But that’s just not true according to the Attorney General.  Everything is fine, and was done by the book.  Impeachment has been floated, but the insurance policy is working.

Things that were of utmost concern have faded into the background.  The war in Ukraine?  That’s just a fact of life now.  Taiwan?  Blinken visited China and said the U. S. does not support an independent Taiwan, but doesn’t expect China to do anything hasty.  We hope not, but this just might blow up in their faces.  What hasn’t?  Suddenly it looks as though the U. S. is subservient to China, and no wonder.  There’s all manner of trouble brewing just below the surface.

The news is pushing lab grown meat.  They’re showing it on TV, and it doesn’t look very appetizing.  Next thing you know they’ll be sneaking it into fast-food menus, and we probably won’t be any the wiser.  They should have tried this with trannies,  “See, you couldn’t tell the difference.”  We can tell the difference, and if we can’t, we’re still not interested. 

It won’t fare any better than meatless burgers.  What happened to those anyway?  People who believe fervently in saving the planet will probably say this lab grown stuff is delicious.  They can have all they want.  Apparently this stuff isn’t economically viable anyway, like most of the other “save the planet” plans.  

If you consume media from whatever source, things look pretty bleak.  Our own government seems to have declared war on anybody who loves the country.  We have to despise everything about our nation to be on the good side of those in power.  We’re being asked to accept things that fly in the face of everything we hold dear.  Not asked, told.  There are repercussions for those who don’t want to play.  The corporations are lecturing us, and threatening to ban people who don’t sign on.  It goes on day and night on television.

It feels pretty good to be a naysayer.  Especially when so much is out in the open.  You’d have to be completely unplugged to be unaware of what’s happening to our nation.  We’re being invaded and told everything is under control.  Former allies are looking to our enemies, knowing that the United States is off the hook.  Our president is taking pratfalls, embarrassing us all over the world, and our enemies notice, whether we do or not.  

The best hope for returning America to it’s place in the world is facing criminal charges.  Over the handling of documents, of all things.  We hope things will work out for the best, but those hopes are fading under a barrage of experts predicting the worst.  This wouldn’t be a bad time to be in touch with the Creator.  He surely knows what’s going on.
