America Under Fire – Inside and Out – Part I
Part I discusses just a few of the numerous things accomplished under the Biden administration which has had a very negative impact on the U.S.
Since Part I was posted (six days ago) something of import came out in the news. Here’s a one sentence summary of it for you.
“As part of the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency’s push for more affordable housing, home buyers with good credit scores will be forced to pay additional fees on their mortgages. Starting on May 1 …” (This should have yet another negative impact on real estate.)

Biden administration hiking mortgage fees for Americans with good credit
Doesn’t that just fry your bacon!? So, if you buy a home you get ‘fined’ for being a good steward of your money and saving. As for the slacker down the road who has been living off the dole, spending like crazy (80” TVs, etc.), and who has been referring to you as “the man”, he gets a boost when buying a home! Fair, right?
These equity ‘enhancements’, for example, are killing our economy. This is just the latest brainstorm the administration wants to right all wrongs. (Note: This is not a bill that congress must sign off, it is an executive order.) These changes are happening with breathtaking speed and frequency – and they add up. They are things to worry the average person. However, we must worry about things like the ‘Amy Nelson’ story happening to us also!
The Amy Nelson Story – Her family’s life was destroyed for years along with their property and ability to support themselves – for years! This is the sort of thing that can happen to anyone – yes, even me! Imagine not being able to make your house payment because you no longer have any money!? Frightening!
But given all the evil being perpetrated on the American people from within the U.S. isn’t enough, we now face troubles from outside the U.S.
World War & Chaos
So much for inside our country, do we have anything to be concerned with outside the U.S.? You bet. China is and has been attacking us for years. Cyber-attacks from China have been hacking our federal government successfully 800 times per day; scoping out our water supply and electrical grid, and other systems for a long time. Why would they take such action? Primarily because they want to be the new world leader, and they can’t do that with the U.S. in the way.
Russia is right behind China vying for second place. Russia has also done their fair share of hacking our systems, and we believe they may have started the 2008 stock market crash by shorting our stocks by the billions. They bought specific stocks ‘short’ telegraphing to Wallstreet that stocks would tumble. Wallstreet went for it and sold like crazy. Once things leveled off, Russia exercised their options and made billions on their investment consequently making out with a ‘two-fer’ (losses for the American stockholder and billions of bucks for Russians).
Now China is building up their military in every way they can (faster than Hitler before WWII). But recently they increased their investments in their military and improved their technology. Which creates a challenge for the U.S. in the event of a Taiwan attack. The U.S. is obligated by treaties to support Taiwan. Since we’re shipping our weapons to Ukraine guess who’s short weapons? You’ve got it, the U.S.
Here’s just a handful of the issues the U.S. military faces currently.
- 70% of 17-24 year olds are unqualified to serve in our military* – due to being overweight or their mental fitness.
- Our recruitment is down 15,000 per year.
- Our current headcount is the lowest it’s been in decades.
- Our ships, planes, ground equipment, and ammunition are all in short supply.
- And we are playing catch-up with our technology with both China and Russia.
- And in a war of attrition, it would be a major uphill fight due to the huge discrepancy in troop count between our military and China’s, much less adding in Russia’s.
Note*: “However, according to DOD statistics, seven out of 10 people in the 17-24 age demographic are ineligible for military service. Primary disqualifiers for potential recruits include obesity, criminal record, past drug use, or failure to meet minimum educational requirements.” — Back to Basics: big changes to Army recruit training
Quite the ugly picture. Given this situation, how do we survive it?
Our country had best flex its muscles, talk a good game, and delay the inevitable with the hope that we can catch up. You might ask, who in this country would take action? We know that the current executive branch of this country wouldn’t. How do you think we got weaker than ever?
Many people in America dislike Donald Trump because of his ‘personality’. But Trump managed to get ‘Rocket Man’ (Kim Jun Un – North Korean dictator) to back off from shooting rockets off at his unprecedented frequency. Which was a task never done before, except for Trump.
Having a tough president is a great start at keeping world peace, but it is not the only answer. A world class military showing strength with good leadership (not general Milley) goes a long way toward keeping the peace. The men in our military and their ‘strength’ in battle goes a long way toward success. Strength does not mean just muscles, but also mental strength. Our men and women must be strengthened to withstand the sacrifice of war.
America’s Wars and History
Before the revolutionary war with the British in America, the inhabitants of this land were hearty people. They actually worked to support their families. When the British made it clear the only way we would not become serfs under British rule, was to go to war with them. Don’t you think our predecessors were afraid of the mightiest military in world history at the time? You bet, but they stood up and showed their strength anyway.
They faced ten times their manpower on the battlefield. The British had superior weapons and equipment – the mightiest army in world history at the time. Our forefathers had at best: old muskets, the clothes on their back, and typically bare feet to fight with – in the winter! But did that stop them? No! Their commander-in-chief George Washington lost most of the battles they fought in the early years. Did that stop them? No! When they fought in the winter with frostbite feet, did they quit? No!
As a result, the small rag-tag army beat the mightiest army in the world. Could we do that today? Possibly, but it would take military leadership making difficult decisions to form a new military of strength. (Too often military leaders fight the ‘last’ war, instead of the current war. Which often doesn’t end well.)
Our Current Military
Many law enforcement departments are short headcount by 20-30%. Consequently, often their ‘standards’ are reduced to meet headcount requirements. Our military is, to a large degree, in the same situation. In today’s society, military age men are too often referred to with less than flattering words. That implies they are likely to be less ‘resilient’ than their predecessors in the military. i.e., WWII This must get fixed, and quick.
Our country needs more strength – that means you and I too. We need to stand up against those who are attacking us. If someone insists you agree with them on some silly or insane notion, you should respectfully refuse to agree – not necessarily back down immediately. If we continue to respond to people with unrealistic or even bizarre speech for another 1-2 years using a weak response, we are destined to be left in the dustbin of history and labeled as a bunch of crazies.
How to Build Strength
America has been under attack for over ‘100 years’ and is now functioning with a short fuse. We cannot continue to agree with insanity – at the very least. We must turn back to our roots, where America was formed. Our constitution was created by our founders based on Christian principles and rights – they are ‘natural’ rights. We need to be held accountable to something outside of ourselves. Which is why the Christian religion was used in the forming our country’s values and our Bill of Rights.
Americans need faith. Faith is necessary when all other options run out. Faith must be in something ‘outside’ of ourselves. If we rely only on ourselves, then what do we do when ‘we’ let ourselves down? Who do we turn to when no one can help? Which is why the majority of our forefathers believed in God. That belief created the strength to build this country and our constitution, not just win a war.
The Steps of Obtaining Strength
Our forefathers never lost hope. How did they accomplish that? They maintained a strong faith in God and prayed before every session of congress for guidance and wisdom. With that faith came hope. If we lose hope, we are typically done. This is when people often commit suicide. With hope, we are moved to continue (even though our feet are freezing (in snow), because we are fighting not just for ourselves, but for those to our right and left. We are doing something for others which further motivates us.
Hope leads to character – the strength to do what is right, unquestionably, and consistently. And through that strength, we develop the courage to fight for what is right, without hesitation. That is what makes heroes. That is what makes up a strong army and a strong country!
Right now, the American people cannot agree on what time it is. ‘We’ are the problem. We are too prideful. We have become a country of narcissists. We are in the process of recreating the tower of Bable. There is no truth, no right or wrong, everything goes. And like those before us building that tower, given our current path, we too will find ourselves lost, without direction, and forgotten in history.
Americans must look outside of themselves, now! We must return to our Christian roots; pray for forgiveness; turn from our destructive and arrogant ways; and become the strong American people we once were. If not, we will be lost for a very long time and find ourselves living as slaves for someone else. That would include your children, grand-children, and great-grand-children.
We are not just fighting man; we are fighting evil. Only a force outside of this world could direct us to become this weak and lost.
It is up to each of us to act, to stand up to injustice. For us to not act, is to act. We must stand for something greater than ourselves… today. Because time is very short.
