There's a scene in the Liam Neeson movie "Taken" where he's on the phone with his daughter. Men are there to kidnap her and she's a world away from him in Europe. As a former intel agent, he knows what's going to happen and realizes there's no way to stop it. As much as he'd love to come up with a way for his daughter to escape or fight off the assailants, he knows the best thing he can do is to prepare her by telling her the truth.
"Now, the next part is very important — they're going to take you," he said.
That's similar to how I feel about the current onslaught of national crises. I'd love nothing more than to tell my audience that if we do this or if someone else does that, we're going to be just fine and America will be great again. Unfortunately, the writing on the wall is undeniable. Unless God acts on our behalf in ways nobody expects and none of us deserve, then things are going to get much worse in the near future.
For those who need a pep talk, this isn't it. This is a wakeup call. Most in my audience are very well aware of the troubles we face, but seeing some of these challenges listed together may bring necessary perspective. My priorities are to spread the truth of the Bible, share the truth of this world, and offer solutions. I'd love to be the guy who could prioritize offering solutions over sharing the truth of this world, but I'm just better at being a journalist than an organizer.

Coming?.......from what I see we are well on our way.
A very uplifting piece. Well, except for the last line.
I see a collapse of the federal government. The states, most of them, will survive an perhaps thrive independently.
Yep.
What the Nazis did to the Jews, Democrats will do to us.
I quit when he mentioned the Bible.
But I still want to play my Trump card.
A-holes like Liam Neeson who made his money off of guns in movies are the kind of people who have helped bring us to this point.
I used to like him, too. A long time ago.
I agree with the article, we can’t stop what is coming all you can do is be prepared and be ready to pick up the pieces when it’s over
As bad off as the country is, we might need a redo to cleanse the system.
If that day comes the red states and the red areas of blue states will handily survive and thrive. Those areas of blue will be singing the blues when they find out food is a necessity and blue people won’t be able to get it from red states. Money will be worthless by then and only those wIlling to work in red areas will be able to obtain it. If this type of dystopian future falls upon us all, and especially if you live in the red area of a blue state, you best either invest in a backhoe or be friends with a neighbor who already has. Just fyi.
If the Federal Govt collapses ( which it will one day IMO ) the each state will issue their own currency . Each red state governor will quell any urban insurrection as harshly as they see fit, doing so unencumbered by Federal restrictions. Blue governors will quell insurrection in the outlands rural areas ( good luck with that BTW).
Ping.
My priorities are to spread the truth of the Bible,

Cool. You can hang out with your buddy Zelenskyy in Hell.
That is why they push gun control so much. It disproportionately impacts mostly Republican leaning constituencies and Democrats know this.
They want to implement another Night of the Broken Glass type event against....us.
Well, they attacked us with a biological weapon and they stole a national election and got away with it...
In fairness, Neeson went off the rails when his wife became a victim of Canadian Lack-of-healthcare.
He’s a snooty Vigo Mortensen.
