The Morning Report — 7/4/24

Good Morning Kids. A very happy and blessed Independence Day to you all. America as it was founded and intended is on the verge of disappearing forever. The fact that it still resonates, or at least exists to a certain extent in the hearts and minds of a significant segment if not the majority of the citizenry is a miracle in and of itself.

If we want a democracy project, might I suggest it begins right here at home. And no, not the one the Left keeps yammering on about if they lose power and influence.

We need a renaissance. But before that comes a revolution. Or the re-establishing of the republic that was intended after the one 248 years ago.

It's too damned painful to contemplate what has been lost, and what will be required to even begin to take the first steps to try and restore it.

God bless you all. Have a great day. And God bless America.
