Live As It Happens: The Death of Your Nation
SteynonLine ^ | March 22, 2024 | Mark Steyn

Jeb Bush, then the presumed Republican presidential nominee, famously described illegal immigration as "an act of love". Because that's how these right-wing haters like to talk. As acts of love go, it doesn't appear to be entirely consensual:

This is the moment when TX National Guard became overrun by migrants rioting to get across the border here in El Paso today

The above happened in a country where law enforcement is not shy about using lethal force if you're pulled over for a busted tail-light and reach too suddenly for the insurance card in your glove-box. If you're a frail septuagenarian with a cane who likes mouthing off on Facebook, the FBI will come round to "serve a warrant" and you'll be carried out by the handles.

And, even when it's non-lethal force, the state enjoys using it on you, good and hard. If you're a New Hampshire teenager returning from a bagpipe competition in Quebec, the hilariously misnamed "Customs & Border Protection" will confiscate your pipes and tell you you're "never going to see them again".

Likewise, you'll never see your Kinder Eggs again, not if they contain a "non-nutritive embed". Instead of delicious chocolate and a fun toy, you'll be spending the Easter weekend playing with your official Department of Homeland Security "Custody Receipt for Seized Property and Evidence" ("Est. Dom. Value $7.50″).

But that's the northern border. At the southern border, thousands of non-nutritive types are embedded in America's body politic every day of the week.

It really is this bad. I don’t think an election can fix this.

Voting doesn’t work...especially with cheating. It’s a farce.

I see no evidence that we have a Constitution. People on the Supreme Court don’t seem to have read it or understood it.

If the Democrats hold on to power, we will clearly have a national police force with snazzy black uniforms. Political opposition leaders will be jailed, and private property will be eliminated. All of these things are in motion. You can see it happening and it will just get worse the longer the Uniparty holds on to power.

Which is why I think the Republic is dead. I retain some hope for the Second Republic of the United States. But to get there will require extreme measures which are totally outside the normal realm of law and order. No political solutions to this. Enoch Powell understood.

It has not and will not. You, me, our children and posterity are being erased. It happens to every civilization.
Covid tyranny and mail in voting sealed the deal.

'No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.' Matthew 6:24.

The words of Jesus Christ.

Gov. Abbott should issue them live rounds and tell them they are at war.
