President Biden took Russia to task for “interfering in elections” and signed an executive order announcing U.S. sanctions against it.

The ruse seems obvious.

By accusing Russia of something, he (or whoever is in charge) is attempting to deflect attention away from Biden’s pandering to China and Iran, the disaster at the southern border, his son, Hunter’s non-investigation, book banning, gun control, defunding police efforts, shutting down the economy by keeping the covid shutdown in effect as well as advocating riots, including the efforts through his “brain trust” – Rep. Maxine Waters and Speaker Nancy Pelosi, both Californians.

He (or his handlers) is intent on maintaining and increasing dissension across America. (Putting a tyrannical regime in place is so much easier when you can keep people confused and upset).

The American left is aware that throughout history democratic republics have seldom lasted more than 250 years. (America is reaching the 233 year mark, dating from 1788 – when the constitution was ratified.)

Sir John Glub wrote an essay in 1976 entitled, “The Fate of Empires.”

He gave his theory that empires seldom last more than 250 years with these examples:

Bent on Remaking America

The current regime is intent on remaking America in the shortest time possible, scared that its opportunity to “fundamentally transform America” will end in four years, maybe sooner.

With its current control of Congress and the presidency, the left is working overtime in an attempt to make sure that no America First conservative will ever be elected again.

Residents of the heartland are equally committed that the left’s vise grip on election mechanics is undone.

Shutting off actual news of national affairs has been a major tool by the left. The lack of details about the background and activities of the Biden-Kamala Harris ticket (one of the most pitiful ever offered by the Democratic Party) was key to dumping Trump.

The leftist national media and social media corporate cabal are proud of their role in helping steal an election.

The leftists may be aware of the words of James Madison, who said as the founders were creating the Constitution and Bill of Rights:

“A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or tragedy, or perhaps both.”

Thankfully, the word is getting out through other means – slowly perhaps but steadily.

Many may remember the remark attributed to Abraham Lincoln:

“You can fool all of the peoples some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.”

Steve Farrar’s book, “Battle Ready,” delves into the need for men to be strong in times such as these when the nation seems to be spiraling out of control for the work that lies ahead.

He draws on his own life difficulties in declaring that difficult times are often required to strengthen character in preparation for service to God.

It relates the actions of Joshua and Caleb, two Israeli spies who entered Canaan to ascertain the Israelis’ ability to defeat the residents there.

Joshua and Caleb were the only two of 12 advance men who spied on Canaan who reported that Canaan was beatable. Nevertheless they had to spend 40 more years in the desert with the tribes before finally taking the Promised Land because the 10 other “special ops” guys who checked out the enemy reported the Canaanites were giants and unbeatable – and Israel believed them. The point of Farrar’s book is that Christians have to

The point of Farrar’s book is that Christians have to sometimes bide their time while God prepares them for the job they are called to do.

An interesting point to the biblical story:

All 10 of the spies who came back advising not to enter died of a plague after their weak-kneed reports.

Only Joshua and Caleb lived to enter the promised land.

Joshua became the leader who oversaw the takeover, a job he never asked for but performeed as he was commanded.

Although Caleb didn’t get the job he was a cheerleader for Joshua ... a real sense of teamwork, eh.
