OPINION:
We have a decision to make: Will we continue down the dead-end road of reliance on government, or reinvigorate our democratic republic by reclaiming American independence?
This question will be the sole determining factor in whether the United States continues to exist as the global hegemonic force — and whether we will survive at all.
From our illegal-drug crisis to the suicidal dependence of our manufacturing and medical sectors upon a depraved dictatorship (the Chinese Communist Party), we have serious problems, and the American people must overcome fear of short-term sacrifice in favor of posterity’s undefinable reward of spiritual strength.
Make no mistake: Though we have had war declared upon our people — with thousands of military-age Chinese nationals streaming across our border and a concerted effort to poison us by way of fentanyl — the freedom to choose our destiny remains in our hands.
Our government must respond to the dictates of our country’s conscience and revoke federal funding for universities that continue to raise tuition.
We must stop the stigma around trade schools by offering new trade scholarships and incentivizing students to enter noble manufacturing professions.
We should initiate a yearlong moratorium on new immigration and finish the wall.
Finally, we must repurpose abandoned office and retail spaces into long-term addiction recovery centers. A better future is within our grasp, but we must act now if we are to grab hold of it.
