We have a war in Ukraine that we are sending weapons and partially funding, a war in Israel where we are sending billions in aid (basically to the enemy) and sending marines to build a port for Gaza. Not to mention the billions we sent to Iran for "humanitarian aid". Now we are sending Marines to Haiti and we are going to be getting an influx of refugees from there, on top of the millions of illegals pouring in already.
Putin just said he is prepared for a nuclear war.
All this going on while the military budget is being cut when we need to rebuild it after the wars from the Middle East depleted resources.
These are all things that are happening right now, it's not right wing news propaganda.
Can somebody please explain to me how everything is good and why I shouldn't be concerned?

Well, wait. The sky ins't falling.
Putin hasn't mentioned Nukes since June of 2023. And then it was a scare tactic. If someone doesn't drop aid in Gaza people will starve to death. I know.....Hamas is Gaza.
Israel is going to do their best to punish Hamas to the lowest point they can. Doubtful any long term progress will come of this, but I can't help look at the "who started this thing". I have very little sympathy for Palestine.

You should check on when Putin said when he is prepared to use nukes. It was a little more recent than what you claim. People in Gaza shouldn't have let Hamas take over their country maybe they should help the fight to remove them. Israel has every right to annihilate them. What they did to their children is unacceptable. They burned babies in ovens in front of their mothers for god sakes. but lets pussy foot around that fact. The free world is turning in to a bunch of liberal pussies and good people are paying the price. Enough is enough. Christians have rights too. I'm so sick of liberals turning a blind eye and thinking everything is so wonderful. |

People in Gaza: I agree that the people should not have voted in Hamas. But they did. These are the facts. No matter what I think will change one thing. If, and only if, your comment of "liberals" is directed towards me all I will say is that's very, very far from the truth. |

I mean things are still good here but the storm clouds are forming abroad. And as you've stated before we don't know who is coming into the Country and what their intentions are. Still America will most likely be torn down by Americans and that will most likely be done by the losers of this coming election |

Well, when in your lifetime has there not been turmoil in the Middle East? I've been on this planet for over 6 decades and not one time has there been true peace in that area of the world.
I don't think the sky is falling.
As for comments on the "tear down America by the election losers" I don't buy that either. As I posted on another forum, the doom and gloom of post election should Trump lose is nothing more than scare talk.
I stated there, and I state here that if Trump loses and all the doom and gloom guys are right, then we will experience economic collapse. So, if that's true how about you sign a contract that states if Trump loses, you will sell me any and all real estate you own, but the price will be 50% of it's current appraised value. If Trump wins, the whole deal is off.
But, if Trump loses and the economy goes the way BlindTrumpers continue to state, then you will get at least half the value of your property.....as opposed to nothing in a total economic collapse.
I got no takers over there, and I suspect the same here.

To be clear my liberal comment wasn't directed at you or anyone else on this site. It is directed at the liberal politicians and the extreme left not just in this country either. |

Dave, you are wrong about this, and here is some proof. apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-putin-nuclear-weapons-82ced2419d93ae733161b56fbd9b477dBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Updated 4:50 PM EDT, March 13, 2024 President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday that Russia is ready to use nuclear weapons if its sovereignty or independence is threatened, issuing another blunt warning to the West just days before an election in which he’s all but certain to secure another six-year term. The Russian leader has repeatedly talked about his readiness to use nuclear weapons since launching a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022. The most recent such threat came in his state-of-the-nation address last month, when he warned the West that deepening its involvement in the fighting in Ukraine would risk a nuclear war. Asked in an interview with Russian state television released early Wednesday if he has ever considered using battlefield nuclear weapons in Ukraine, Putin responded that there has been no need for that. He also noted that he doesn’t think that the world is heading for a nuclear war, describing U.S. President Joe Biden as a veteran politician who fully understands the possible dangers of escalation. |

It's true. ALL Haitian immigrants. The school system is in a perplexing situation there. Hundreds of them enrolled in the school system, and a HUGE language barrier for the teachers, as they don't know English.

The district needs translators in the classes to bridge the current language barrier. This is a big hindrance in the way a teacher would normally teach. Ya, once assimilated, you would HOPE they learn our language. Currently..... no go.
Who knows how many of their parents even know English. My assumption, not many ? Haitian translators willing to sit in a school all day, don't exactly fall off trees in small town USA.
