Biden’s actions have

to blame. They created this

our allies, and the world.
Other governments know
it, and we’ve lost our stand
ing as a great nation because
of it. We are a country that
threw integrity overboard,
and we are reaping predict

understand why such a
horrible act of violence
couldhavebeen successfully
carried out on our own soil.
We might recall that the
pilots who flew those
planes, transforming
commercial airliners into
lethal weapons, trained in
our country.
And while these
preparations in our own
backyard for what occurred
on Sept. 11, 2001, were
taking place, the president
of the United States, Bill
Clinton, was preoccupied
committing adultery in the
Oval Office.
Now here we are, 20
years later, having spent
more than $2 trillion in our
operations in Afghanistan,
with a loss of some 2,400
American lives. The
Taliban, against whom we
launched hostilities in 2001,
is back in power. By some
estimates, their control in
Afghanistan is broader than
it was in 2001.
Maybe today, as the
United States withdraws
from Afghanistan in despair,
shame and confusion, and
as we note 20 years since
the loss of 2,977 American
lives to terror in our
homeland, there will be
greater appreciation for
doing some national soul-
searching.
We needn’t just turn
back to the admonitions of
a few evangelical pastors 20
years ago. We can turn back
225 years to 1796, to the
counsel provided to a
young, new nation by its
first president, George
Washington, in his farewell
address.
Washington reminded
his countrymen that theirs
is a country rooted in
eternal truths and warned
about detaching from those
truths and allowing the
nation to deteriorate into
raw politics.
“Of all the dispositions
and habits which lead to
political prosperity, religion
and morality are
indispensable supports. ...
Let it simply be asked:
Where is the security for
property, for reputation, for
life, if the sense of religious
obligation desert the oaths
which are the instruments
of investigation in courts of
justice? And let us with
caution indulge the
supposition that morality
can be maintained without
religion. Whatever may be
conceded to the influence
of refined education ...
reason and experience both
forbid us to expect that
national morality can
prevail in exclusion of
religious principle.
“It is substantially true
that virtue or morality is a
necessary spring of popular
government.”
Over the last 20 years,
as a nation, we have moved
further from these truths.
Under President Joe Biden’s
leadership, we have politics,
secularism and moral
relativism on steroids.
Let’s understand that
we will have no clarity
abroad until we get our
house in order at home.

It’s not as though only
the American media has
noticed Biden’s ineptitude,
either. If anything, our for
eign allies have been
harsher about the humili
ating mess Biden has stum
bled into (former British
prime minister Tony Blair
called it “imbecilic”) than
journalists here at home.
Since he won the
Democratic nomination
last year, Biden has been
the subject of relentless fa
vorable press coverage for
giving his lapses and en
thusiastic about his alleged
accomplishments. It was
hard to see what he could
do to lose media support,
even for a time, and then
he botched his withdrawal.

refugees of the world over its
own citizenry. Remember
border stability, financial
stability, our growing econ
omy, our ability to supply
our own energy needs, our
excellent relationships with
our allies, the respect by our
enemies? We had four years
of peace under Trump, and
in eight months, we’re on a
trajectory to doom.
We who endeavor to
live with integrity, have al
ways seen through the farce.
We’ve shouted, but nobody
listened. Greed and a thirst
for absolute power perme
ate our government-tech
complex.
Biden used Hunter as
a playing piece as he sold
out to China, so the Chi
nese have moved ever clos
er to power over us. But it
doesn’t even stop with him.
Everyone, from the highest
echelons of power to the
deep state peons, has a stake
in our ruination for their
personal gain.
Too bad we’re all get
ting the bill. Their gain will
prove illusory, as our econ
omy and strength crumble.
The greatest country in the
world could be destroyed in
just a few months more. We
can only hope it’s not too
late to stop it.
