America’s Committing Suicide & Won’t Save the World
Since 1776, there was a great nation that one could rely on to stem global disorder. Now that great nation, under leftist rule, is itself in decay.
I cannot imagine any thinking person who does not believe the world is getting worse. The number of slaughtered and the number of refugees from slaughter is immense and growing.
The Islamic State now controls territories from Afghanistan to West Africa. Libya is in the process of being added to that list. And other sadistic Islamist movements hold additional territory. According to Pew Research, approximately 10 percent of world Muslims support the Islamic State and terror against civilians. That’s more than 100 million people. The Iranian regime has just increased the reward it will give to anyone who murders Indian novelist Salman Rushdie. It is increasing its repression at home and now has more than $100 billion in additional cash to spend on terror, while it regularly calls for the annihilation of Israel.
