There is a book out there called something like “The Rise and Fall of All Great Powers” that highlights the common themes in the fall of the great world powers. I want to say it was written in the 90’s.

Fascinating book. The first 200 pages of Jacques Barzun’s “500 Years of Western Civilization” is can’t miss. An eighth grader could understand Barzun, but his observations are seismic.

thanks yes. several authors have done this theme including Paul Kennedy and ...

PDJT is trying to fix some things but the Clintoons and especially Obammy did SO DAMNED MUCH DAMAGE
that USA could be past the Point of No Return

the damage is not “just” political, it is spiritual and cultural, with our core, basic moral values shot almost all to Hell

we will see. I have hope but....the solution is not so much in the political arena as the cultural and spiritual
