"Washington, in an act of incredible stupidity, has driven a dagger through the heart of the US dollar as world reserve currency, thus ending Washington’s ability to pay its bills by printing money. The dagger was the Biden regime’s Russian and other sanctions and the seizure of Russia’s central bank deposits. This finally convinced the rest of the world that holding dollar balances exposed a country to the risk of expropriation or control by Washington.
"Sooner or later the US dollar’s exchange value will fall, setting off high inflation in the US that is outside the control of the central bank. American living standards will fall, and the US will begin to look like India in 1900. The hatred...that Democrats have taught to [minorities] will result in internal war. The only question is whether...Americans will have been so indoctrinated with their guilt that they are unable to defend themselves."

Most people hear “Hormuz” and think gas prices.
That’s part of it. But it’s bigger. It’s a central artery for global trade, and we talked about how disruptions hit second-order systems fast, including inputs tied to food production (field work and fertilizers), trucking, and downstream shocks in everything from shipping insurance to medicine, medical supplies, medical treatments and regional stability.

"I like Os Guinness’s analogy of the cut flower civilization. I find it very vivid in regard to non-Christian conservative parents. Conservative non-Christian families are cutting themselves off from our foundational roots.
Let’s think about what happens to a plant when the roots die. What happens when you pick flowers and put them in a vase? Obviously, the flowers wither. And if you cut conservative morals off from Christianity, they fade.
"This decline is exactly what we have seen in the West over the last century and a half. Some people say the decay dates back to the Enlightenment. It’s a gradual fading that goes on and on. My fear is that we have landed in a place of moral wilderness.
"For the West to restore itself, it has to rediscover and revive its biblical roots. I insist that the biblical...
A number of officials with high-level security clearance, and copious amounts of intel, have warned the president about this. This includes Mr. Vance and Tulsi Gabbard. But for some inexplicable reason, Mr. Trump was unentreatable. A seductive influence has moved him away from his previous, sincerely held opinions. Below are a few he expressed in public, going back a quarter century.
“I’m not going to start wars, I’m going to stop wars.”
“We’re going to end these endless wars.”
“We will turn the page forever on those foolish, stupid days of never-ending wars. They never ended.”
“I will expel the warmongers from our national security state… and stop the war profiteering.”
“He [his predecessors] sent our blood and treasure to back regime change in Iraq, regime change in Libya, regime change in Syria and every other globalist disaster for half a century.
