The people of the U.S. are like those on a ship in a storm that has lost its rudder, the crew is in disarray, and the ship is heading for the rocks! We have become a people where many reject facts they don’t like and they can no longer perceive truth! If the right corrective action isn’t taken, the ship founders. If that is the outcome how bad that will be depends on the size of the rocks, the strength of the hull and the speed of the ship; it could be anything from being disabled to being battered into pieces and/or sinking.

I don’t write above about the ship of state as much as I’m referring to the ship of the electorate; a sister ship to the ship of state. This ship has been badly maintained without sufficient overhauls, now it has an inept/corrupt crew, is already taking on water and is in peril of sinking on or before the rocks. That ship needs to be in a dry dock as soon as possible for a major overhaul and refit – and a new crew!

In any event, there are major problems. Problems only God can correct after a time for us to see and recognize our errors!

3/24/2026 Excerpt from The U.S. Is No longer the Leader of the Free World by Carlos Lozada, New York Times
“We are not entering a post-American world, one in which the United States recedes from the stage or stops wielding its military might. Far from it. But we may be entering a post-America world, one in which the meaning of America, the principles and values the country has long stood for — sometimes in reality, sometimes in aspiration — are fading. And the loss of that America may prove just as damaging, and far more lasting, than any harm our excursions can inflict. Although they are causing plenty of damage.”
