Kahit sinu naman, bagong akyat sa hagdanan. Maliban nalang sa mga batang physically fit at bag g gym. What you expect from a 74y/0 man? Plus covid.[emoji109][emoji109][emoji109]

Rudy Giuliani'''s cough kept interrupting him while he tried to attack Biden on Fox News

For a country built by immigrants, the US has the toughest immigration policies. How ironic! They couldn’t even care for their natives.

Wait, they did treat the Native Americans in the most immigrant way - by nearly wiping them out. Hahahaha

there's a guy -- Sir John Glubb (1897 - 1986)

he developed a theory on hegemonies that he called “Fate of Empires”

Empires expand --> develop --> decline --> collapse

age of pioneers --> age of conquests --> age of commerce --> age of affluence --> age of intellect --> age of decadence

when empires evolve past the age of affluence that's when they start to decline

they become inward looking

coz mayaman na sila madami tao sa labas gusto pumasok so they become less welcoming towards immigrants

they build walls (sounds familiar?)

they become isolationist

the US is already past the age of affluence

even past the age of intellect coz there's a lot of anti-science, anti-intellectualism going on

and a lot of decadence too

that's why i keep saying the US is an empire in decline

everybody's welcome to do their own reading

The vast majority of Native Americans died (via foreign diseases) long before there was a USA. That would mean the Euros (Spain, England, Dutch, etc).

"Wiping them out" still applies, i guess? hehe

There would be no USA if the Europeans didn’t come to North America. When the Europeans came, they brought with them their culture and their diseases.

Africans, Mexicans, and Asians were part of what America is now. It is not just the Italians, Iberians, Scandinavians, Jews, Russians, Poles, Germans, Brits, Scots, and Irish who came into the wide stretches of North America to find a better life.

A single tweet from Trump last night calling off the stimulus negotiations brought down the stock market. My portfolio was up 20% before going to bed but was down 15% this morning.

Nice point, Uls. If the time comes the US lost its influence and dominance to the world, it will just suffer the same fate as the empires of old.

Behold Israel
AUTHOR:
DR. JAMES DOBSON

Dear Friends,

This will be my final letter to 800,000 people before Americans cast our ballots on November 3rd. It is a breathtaking moment in the history of the United States. Perhaps I will be permitted to repeat a brief comment I made in my August letter because of its relevance to today. Many political commentators have stated that this election is the most significant since 1864, when Abraham Lincoln vied for a second term against Democratic nominee, George McClellan. The future of our beloved nation hung in the balance that year. If Lincoln had lost, the Civil War would have ended precipitously and the wretched evils of slavery would have remained legal in the Confederate States, and perhaps even in the North. Had Lincoln been defeated, the Union would have been torn asunder. Thank God Mr. Lincoln won, even though it cost him his life!

Now we are approaching another presidential election that carries enormous implications for the stability of our democratic system of government. Indeed, Newt Gingrich said that what we are facing now might bring an end to civilization as we have known it. He may have been referring to a possible revolution. Regardless, I believe his grave concern for our nation is valid. For centuries, America has stood as a shining light for liberty and freedom in our nation and around the globe. If we abandon our founding core values, the world will suffer for it. The binary choice before us is that stark.

How will Americans, and how will you, decide who to vote for as our Chief Executive Officer? I have heard from dozens of friends and acquaintances in recent weeks who tell me they will base their decision solely on a candidate's rhetoric, tone, style, or likeability. Does that describe your thinking process?

Just now, as I was about to react to that idea, my wife, Shirley, brought in an email that she had received a few minutes before from a friend. It quoted an anonymous statement that gets to the heart of the issue, as follows:

"This is not a junior high or high school popularity/personality contest. I'm not voting for the person—I'm voting for the platform!

I'm voting for the Second Amendment. I'm voting for the next Supreme Court justice. I'm voting for the electoral college. I'm voting for the Republic in which we live. I'm voting for the police and law and order. I'm voting for the military and the veterans who fought and died for this country. I'm voting for the flag that is often missing from public events. I'm voting for the right to speak my opinion and not be censored for it. I'm voting for secure borders. I'm voting for the right to praise God without fear. I'm voting for every unborn soul that is at risk of being aborted. I'm voting for freedom and the American dream. I'm voting for good and against evil. I'm not just voting for one person.

I'm voting for the future of my country!"

I couldn't have said it better, although I want to add to the writer's list. I'm also voting for candidates who will exercise sound leadership internationally. I'm voting for those who will support Israel. I'm voting for those who will protect children from leftist curricula. I'm voting for the nation's fiscal integrity. I'm voting for parental rights. I'm voting for school choice and home education. I'm voting for freedom in the suburbs. I'm voting for Little Sisters of the Poor and other Christian organizations. I'm voting for racial unity. I am voting to support "In God we trust" and school prayer. I'm voting for freedom of conscience for physicians and other professionals. I am voting for marriage. I am voting for life in all its dimensions. I am voting against euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. I'm voting for wisdom in handling the pandemic. I am voting for protection for the Church from oppressive politicians.

One final thought: With all respect, this election isn't about you. It certainly isn't about me. It is about our kids and grandkids. It is about those who are yet to come, if they are allowed to live. This vote has awesome implications for future generations and the nation we love. It is about our Constitution and the immutable, God-given rights it protects. It is about values, and truth, and greatness, and hope. That is why the notion of choosing a president based on frivolous personality characteristics is so unfortunate.

In summary, this election is for all the marbles . . . the Presidency, the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the Supreme Court. Together, they set the agenda for this country.

If you love America and don't want it to be "fundamentally transformed," it is time to do three things:

Pray like never before that God will spare this great nation from tyranny and oppression of religious liberty.
Volunteer to help your candidates.
Vote for the candidates who will best uphold your values and convictions.
Also, consider forwarding this letter to your friends, family, and others whom you might influence.

Franklin Graham
Tonight we have a Vice Presidential debate coming up. My prayers are for our country.

There are clearly two very different visions for the future direction of the nation. This evening, Vice President Mike Pence will be able to share President Donald J. Trump’s vision for the future of America, and Kamala Harris will have an opportunity to communicate her and Joe Biden’s vision.

I continue to urge all Christians to pray for and vote in this very important election. I pray that all will see what’s at stake, and that God’s will be done.

Pence do your research. You've linked Biden to The Green New Deal thrice now. He does not support it.
