As the 2022 Midterms Elections close in, America is looking weak, unresolved and fearful while facing numerous SERIOUS challenges including:

  1. Looming Climate Catastrophe
  2. Economic Insanity
  3. Mental Health Crisis
  4. Violence Crisis
  5. Addiction Crisis
  6. Refugee Crisis
  7. Poverty and Homeless Crisis
  8. Collapse of the Medical System
  9. Collapse of the Education System
  10. Collapse of Social Support Systems
  11. Turning away from Democracy toward Authoritarianism
  12. Person Rights Backslide
  13. Social Media Manipulation
  14. Misinformation Crisis
  15. Nuclear Threats

When Free people are too weak they look for strength outside themselves, sometimes in their Savior they’ve never met but Believe strongly in, reinforced by charismatic pastors and preachers or in a Patriarchal daddy figure strongman and his tough forked-tongue minions—or Both. When the going gets rough, they don’t STAY THE COURSE, but whip the ship around in an about face hoping to get back to safety, seeking the EASY PATH.

There is no easy path in Life.
