“Everybody knows that the war is over. Everybody knows that the good guys lost.” Leonard Cohen

Jim ponders: Should we change the name of the show from “The Decline & Fall of America?” What if things get better?

Positive Trends

1. Online education could break the back of the liberal education monopoly that is brainwashing our youth with a lot of silly nonsense, at exorbitant costs.




2. The U.S. Supreme Court strikes down the power of public employee unions to force public employees to pay union dues against their will. This could break the monopoly control of big spending Democrats and public unions over state governments.




3. Good Trump policies:

• Pro-growth tax cuts


• Strong stands against terrorists and enemy states


• Military build-up


• Pulling out of Iran Nuclear deal & Paris Climate Accord


• Great judicial appointments

……………….

Despite these positive developments, the decline and fall of America as a long term trend is still in tact.

In 1776 our founding fathers, an extraordinary group of great and brilliant men, founded our republic based, for the first time in history, on the revolutionary idea that ordinary people could govern themselves. Only now, 242 years later, have we finally realized, Jim says, that they were wrong. I mean look at the mess we’re in.

Thomas Jefferson, the greatest thinker in the history of political philosophy, saw it all coming. He said, “We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.”

Unfortunately we didn’t listen to Jefferson. We did let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. And it gets worse by the day. That’s why financial collapse is inevitable. So the name “The Decline and Fall of America” stands.

The growth of the ever-expanding megastate bureaucracy, known as the Deep State, has led to the degradation of our freedom, morals, values, and culture.

When Jim was young & stupid he was happy to participate in the destruction of traditional moral values, and help overturn the “order of the soul.” But now he thinks maybe it wasn’t such a great idea. The denigration of traditional morality has produced chaos and the break down of the social order.

Little boys raised by single mothers grow up to be delicate, drug-addicted little sissies, who break down if someone says something they don’t agree with. Then they need to find a safe space to drink hot chocolate and play with clay, so no one will think they have “toxic masculinty.”

Homosexuality and transgenderism have been normalized. And if you’re against sexual perversion, these deviants treat you as if you’re the one who is pathological.

Due to the exploding national debt, nothing can be done to stop the impending financial collapse. Will Trump fix the problem? No. When will the collapse occur? Listen to this podcast to find out. But don’t expect a serious answer. At least not from Jim.
