How, when, and why has the United States now arrived at the brink of a veritable civil war?Almost every cultural and social institution — universities, the public schools, the NFL, the Oscars, the Tonys, the Grammys, late-night television, public restaurants, coffee shops, movies, TV, stand-up comedy — has been not just politicized but also weaponized.Obama, especially in his second term, soon renounced much of what he had run on. He raised taxes, stagnated what would have been a natural recovery, weighed in on hot-button radicalized criminal cases, advanced a radical social agenda, and polarized the country along lines of difference.The masters of the universe of Silicon Valley did not, as promised, bring us new-age tranquility, but rather only greater speed and intensity to do what we always do. Trolling, doxing, and phishing were just new versions of what Jesus warned about in the Sermon on the Mount.Spiritual transcendence is the timeless water of life; technology is simply the delivery pump. We confused the two. That water can be delivered ever more rapidly does not mean it ever changes its essence. High tech has become the great delusion.We are now nearing a point comparable to 1860, and perhaps past 1968. Left–Right factionalism is increasingly fueled by geography — always history’s force multiplier of civil strife. Red and blue states ensure that locale magnifies differences that were mostly manageable during the administrations of Ford, Carter, Reagan, the Bushes, and Clinton.Donald Trump’s election was not so much a catalyst for the divide as a manifestation and amplification of the existing schism…and religious and spiritual reawakening is crucial if America is to be saved.

President Donald Trump has pulled off one the most dangerous “gambit deals” [an action entailing a degree of risk calculated to gain an advantage] ever attempted in modern American political history when he pitted a $225 million military aid package to Pakistan against that nation’s Inter-Services Intelligence (IS) spy agency to pressure them into agreeing to immediately surrender a Pakistani woman to US authorities—and whose testimony could very well spell the “total doom” of the entire American Democratic Party.

The US media should apologize for two years of anti-Russian propaganda. Trump haters, who are already having a horrible week, have as yet failed to notice that President Donald Trump has somehow managed to pull off the “greatest deal in human history” to save our world from climate change—and as evidenced by his government’s top NASA scientists—within 24-hours of Special Counsel Robert Mueller and Attorney General Bill Barr completely exonerating him from the Russian collusion hoax—stunningly announcing that the world’s most important glacier in Greenland is reversing course and starting to accumulate ice at an alarming pace—a reversal that amazingly began two years ago after Trump pulled the United States out of the Paris Climate Accord—thus leaving all to wonder what other super powers he may possess, and when he will use them next!
