After the recent presidential election, I expected some of this…but not all of it. And I certainly didn’t think it would happen so fast. I’m not a Sean Hannity fan, but he makes a pretty good list of changes that have occurred since January 2021.
- As a result of the Biden administration policies, the southern border is overrun.
- The inflation rate is rising quickly and approaching an unhealthy level.
- Violent crime is on the increase in many major cities.
- Our educational system is under attack by Marxist teachings like Critical Race Theory.
- The church is compromised and basic tenets of the Christian faith, such as the infallibility of the Bible, God’s omniscience, and the finality of Hell, are now questioned by a growing group of progressive Christians.
- Businesses can’t find employees.
- Our president is suffering serious cognitive decline. 57% of Americans agree. Who is actually in charge in the White House?
- The vice-president is struggling and Democratic insiders fear she couldn’t defeat any Republican candidate in 2024, not even Donald Trump.
- Some elected officials have little respect for the US and our allies.
- Russia is hacking our critical supply lines…regularly.
- China is not deterred by the US and is a major threat to America and its allies.
- Iran is again enriching uranium.
- The Taliban is re-taking control of Afghanistan as US troops withdraw, leaving scores of munitions behind.
- The current administration makes the case for massive new investment in the nation’s infrastructure, but Americans rank this relatively low on the list of major problems facing the country.
- Gun violence, the affordability of healthcare, the coronavirus outbreak and racism are each seen as very big problems facing the country today by two-thirds or more Democrats.
- Illegal immigration and the federal budget deficit are the top problems identified by Republicans.
- In some ways it feels like 1971 all over again.
