Recently I looked back at events from the past 15 years and wondered how and/ or why we got to this point. It appears to me that over time and quietly the religious, political and radical right have been collectively and separately pursuing an agenda of “owning” America in their cause of authoritarian control. America has long been the champions of justice and freedom in the world, now these right groups have been working to control the Government by elections, payoffs and control of major companies. Our “High Court”: has been “bought”, the Congress appears to be in the pocket of big business.
At this time, we have a war started by a foreign ally and we jumped right in with no examination of the situation, without the benefit experienced military leaders and finally without notifying or conferring with our allies in the region. Currently we are at the beginning of a quagmire of our own making and cursing our allies because they did not jump right in.This the state of our union because of the ill-conceived aggression on what was perceived as a small and weak country. Our “leader” was possibly bullied or flattered into this incursion and now every nearby country we are on good terms with are being attacked by this “small and weak country.
This action has exacerbated the current high prices due of food, energy, farming and manufacturing because of ill-conceived) tariffs, and this poorly thought out and executed war. It is clear that this war benefits no one except the administration and their friends. The misaligned and mishandled administrative actions beg for voter action.
