In 1787, while our first 13 states adopted their new Constitutional Republic, Alexander Tyler who was a Scottish History Professor at the University of Edinburgh, said this about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2000 years earlier: “A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.
The Eastern Roman Empire fell in 476 A.D.
The Roman Empire divided itself into two parts, the Eastern Roman Empire headquartered in Constantinople
and the Western Roman Empire headquartered in Rome.
The city of Rome itself fell in the year 476 AD.
But the Eastern Roman Empire continued on, with the city of Constantinople falling in the year 1453 AD.
The fall of the Western Roman Empire, c. 376–476, was the process of decline in the Western Roman Empire in which the Empire failed to enforce its rule, and its vast territory was divided into several successor polities.
The Roman Empire lost the strengths that had allowed it to exercise effective control over its Western provinces; modern historians posit factors including the effectiveness and numbers of the army, the health and numbers of the Roman population, the strength of the economy, the competence of the Emperors, the internal struggles for power, the religious changes of the period, and the efficiency of the civil administration. Increasing pressure from invading barbarians outside Roman culture also contributed greatly to the collapse. The reasons for the collapse are major subjects of the historiography of the ancient world and they inform much modern discourse on state failure.
A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves giving generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.”
The liberals in congress, typically but not always found in the Democratic party, are simply following a tradition clearly discussed over 200 years ago. Our democracy is mature and past the 200 year cycle predicted by history. Professor Tyler went on to say the following about the 8 steps a democracy goes through:
From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage
With the addition of 31,000,000 Americans being supported by giving
them taxpayer subsidized health care benefits they now can live on tax payer provided welfare, taxpayer provided unemployment extensions and what we’ve created is a vast majority of the country dependent on the gifts from the government paid for from the money collected from the taxpayers.
The problem is that the more people that become dependent on the government, the fewer workers and income earners that pay taxes; the fewer entrepreneurs that generate jobs, and the greater demand for higher taxes from an ever decreasing tax paying group. This is the next step that goes back to Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Social Security (perennially in financial trouble), Medicare and Medicaid (also perennially in financial trouble) and now we’re going to add 30 more million to the doll from the government.
In the 60’s this country was the country of promise.
The country that told the immigrants who traveled to its shores: you work hard, you are productive and honorable and a good citizen, there are no limits to what you can do for you, your family and your new country. In the last 50 years we’ve moved from Abundance to complacency and today, with the step to pass health care’s burden to the economy of this country, we’ve moved one step closer towards dependence.
I’m saddened to realize that the once great American society that had the power and might to stop tyranny dead on its tracks in Europe and Japan will now join the great ancient societies and be a footnote in the future history books, and others will now rise to take our place. A sad day indeed in the United States. Those who celebrate, know you are celebrating your dependency on the government, and the loss of your freedom.

PULGA, Calif. (AP) — A blaze that erupted near the flashpoint of the deadliest wildfire in recent U.S. history was heading away from homes on Thursday but survivors of the 2018 blaze in the town of Paradise worried that history could repeat itself.Residents of Doyle, a town of about 700 residents north of Reno, are evacuating from their homes again as extreme drought and heat waves leave the area primed for wildfires.
California’s largest wildfire on record this year, the Beckwourth Complex Fire, whipped through Doyle on Saturday, destroying 33 homes according to the local fire department.
Just eight months ago, Doyle suffered extensive damage when a wind-driven wildfire destroyed 21 homes and 19 other structures in November,
according to the Bureau of Land Management.
Progressives in Denial About Crime Are Catering to Elites and Losing Elections. Like President Joe Biden, who recently invited Adams to the
White House to discuss gun violence, the Democratic nominee hails from the more moderate wing of the Democratic Party. He is a former Republican and previously served in the New York Police Department, hardly the profile you would expect for the leading Democratic Party figure in America’s most populous city.
Why Middle America is resisting the Left’s culture war
BY Quin Hillyer
Kamala Harris is just bad at politics: No matter how the establishment likes to portray things, it is the Left, not conservatives, that is mounting an aggressive and transgressive culture war, against which Middle America reacts only to avoid surrender. College Kids Don’t Understand Socialism—or Capitalism.
Our Research Proves It | Opinion
If a village is besieged, it is those laying siege, not the villagers, who are the attackers.
This is a point some of us on the center-right have been making for months, but it has now been eloquently expressed in the past 10 days by both top-notch Conservative Thinker Peggy Noonan and by thoughtful, veteran liberal writer Kevin Drum. Now, three items across my desk over the past weekend bolster the points made by Drum and Noonan.
Start with Drum’s honesty from the Left, which is most welcome.
On July 3, he posted an essay called “If you hate the culture wars, blame liberals.” This is the same Drum who for years wrote for the uber-Left Mother Jones and pilloried the conservative case for religious exemptions from federal laws. But in his new essay, Drum presents copious data showing that “since roughly the year 2000, according to survey data, Democrats have moved significantly to the left on most hot button social issues while Republicans have moved only slightly right.”
This, of course, contradicts the dominant media narrative that conservatives are the ones who have moved more to the extremes, but the data is unassailable. As Drum puts it, “The Democratic Party has been pulled far enough left that even lots of non-crazy people find us just plain scary.” Note the “us.” Drum likes the leftward march but still recognizes that the march has far outstripped Middle America’s approval.
In “The Culture War is a leftist offensive,” Noonan agrees that “the cultural provocations that are currently tearing us apart do, certainly and obviously, come from progressives. And the left seems to have no prudent fear of backlash. They don’t seem to believe public opinion counts for much anymore.” Examples of this trend — things that just a few years ago even most of the media would have thought of as not just abnormal but offensive — pop up almost every day.
The New York Times, for example, published on July 7 what can only be called a glowing profile of an “educator” named Justine Ang Fonte, who teaches high school children about “porn literacy” and teaches first graders that it is “OK” to “touch” their private parts for pleasure. No amount of New York Times issue-fogging can hide the reality that most decent people think this stuff is beyond the pale.
Separately comes word that a new policy in Chicago schools will make free condoms available to all students starting in fifth grade. Oh, don’t worry, says a spokesman for the Chicago Women’s Health Center, which helped create the program: “I want to be really clear that the existence of condoms does not mean that all students are going to be using those condoms or encouraged to use them.”
That’s like handing out free cookies and then saying, “Don’t eat them.” Judging from the furious online reactions, it’s pretty clear that the schools are using the wrong definition of “loco” when trying to serve in loco parentis, because this just seems crazy. Finally, of course, there is the controversy over teaching critical race theory, with leftists saying both that it isn’t really taught and that it’s not a bad thing anyway.
To which, leading critical race theory critic Chris Rufo released a list last Friday of at least 30 school districts in 15 states teaching a book positing that “whiteness” is an aspect of, yes, the devil, who leads white children astray with “stolen land” and “stolen riches.” At the risk of begging the question, if these examples don’t immediately strike you as highly objectionable, no amount of persuasion will change your mind. Yet, even for those who agree with this cultural direction.
Any reasonable assessment would admit that the provocation, the “war,” is being waged from the Left, and that resistance to these initiatives is a largely defensive effort. It’s time for the Left to call a pause and to start attempting persuasion rather than coercion. Right now, As Noonan says,
” the Left is tearing the country apart/.”

Pauline Bauer in the Capitol Rotunda on January 6 @ DOJA Capitol riot defendant who threatened to hang Nancy Pelosi said she didn’t need an attorney because she was divinely immune from the court’s laws.
BY Erin Snodgrass
An accused Capitol rioter said she doesn’t need a lawyer because she is a “self-governed individual.” Prosecutors say Pauline Bauer said she wanted to hang Nancy Pelosi while inside the Capitol on January 6. Now, Bauer is claiming to have special legal privileges.
See more stories on Insider’s business page.
A Pennsylvania pizzeria owner arrested and charged in connection to the January 6 Capitol attack, demanded the removal of “any and all” defense attorneys on her behalf, arguing that she is a divine entity immune from the court’s laws.
Prosecutors say Pauline Bauer, was among the hundreds of pro-Trump protesters who broke into the US Capitol on January 6 in an attempt to halt the certification of Joe Biden’s presidency. Bauer attempted to organize mass transportation to bus people to DC for the Trump rally that preceded the attack, and once inside the building, she told police she wanted to kill House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, court documents say.
“Bring Nancy Pelosi out here right now,” Bauer can be heard saying on body-worn camera footage from inside the Capitol rotunda, according to prosecutors. “We want to hang that f—ing b—-.”
Now, in a series of bizarre court filings made late last month, Bauer is insisting on representing herself and is claiming to have special legal privileges as a “self-governed individual.” A court-appointed lawyer for Bauer did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment. In a Zoom court appearance on June 11, Bauer told the judge she was attending “by special divine appearance,” according to The Daily Beast.
“I do not stand under the law,” Bauer said, according to the outlet. “Under Genesis 1, God gave man dominion over law.” Bauer was later removed from that video proceeding “due to her inability to show qualm and decency to the Court,” records show. She was ordered to appear again in-person later that month.
But at a June 21 hearing, Bauer refused to accept the conditions of her release and was jailed overnight as a result, according to court documents. She was later released on personal recognizance after verbally agreeing to the required pretrial release conditions.
Days later, she submitted several filings full of far-right conspiracies, mounting an apparent “sovereign citizens” defense. Subscribers to the pseudo-science movement believe that “they – not judges, juries, law enforcement or elected officials – should decide which laws to obey and which to ignore,” according to The Southern Poverty Law Center.
In one filing, Bauer included a “Patent of Nativity,” a document which she claimed “serves as proof that [her] living DNA existed on this land before there was a United States of America or Any STATE Thereof.” The document includes a detailed genealogy of both her mother and father’s ancestry.
Among the filed documents, Bauer also demanded corrections be made to existing court documents in her case file. Bauer, who faces charges of obstructing justice and Congress; knowingly entering a restricted building; knowingly engaging in disorderly conduct in a restricted building; and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, is set to head back to court in person later this month.

Religion is a system of wishful illusions together with a disavowal of reality, such as we find nowhere else but in a state of blissful hallucinatory confusion.
Where the questions of religion are concerned people are guilty of every possible kind of insincerity and intellectual misdemeanor.
Words have a magical power. They can bring either the greatest happiness or deepest despair; they can transfer knowledge from teacher to student. Religion is an attempt to get control over the sensory world, in which we are placed, by means of the wish-world, which we have developed inside us as a result of biological and psychological necessities.
Whoever loves becomes humble. Those who love have , so to speak , pawned a part of their narcissism. Religious doctrines … are all illusions, they do not admit of proof, and no one can be compelled to consider them as true or to believe in them. He that has eyes to see and ears to hear may convince himself that no mortal can keep a secret. If his lips are silent, he chatters with his fingertips; betrayal oozes out of him at every pore.
Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways. Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility. Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise. One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.
There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized.
The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society.
Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office.

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life’s realities. President Joe Biden’s aides are leaking stories criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris because they are concerned she will invoke the 25th Amendment in an attempt to remove the president from office, political strategist Dick Morris said on Sunday.
I honestly don’t think she’s that strategic of a thinker. She’s probably still thinking about why people don’t love her laugh. Absolutely amazing no one saw this coming. The @VP should have been President a long time ago because @POTUS isn’t running the office. The American people deserve a person who can speak without a piece of paper to read. I’m praying for the
President because he should be resting instead of being used by the @DNC
It’s smoke and mirrors…. That’s been the plan from the beginning That was her plan all along! Dick Morris: Biden Aides Attacking Harris to Prevent Her From Invoking 25th Amendment | Newsmax.com She must have a plan. A big mouth like hers could never keep quiet, especially when something is to benefit her. I’m just waiting for this to happen.
I believe it’s been planned all along. Wasn’t this The planned all along?
I didn’t think he’d make 100 days before it was invoked.
I’ve BEEN saying this since DAY ONE!
Guarantee they wanna wait until 2 years and a day to maximize her potential term in office. But I’m guessing Biden’s condition is worsening faster than they expected, plans are having to be expedited.

Shame on Newmax, Breitbart, OAN and Washington Examiner. Many people thought that was the DNC’s plan when they rigged the primary in favor of Biden. But, given Harris’s dismal record as VP and her lack of leadership skills, it’s unlikely Jill and half of Joe’s cabinet would agree. Entirely possible! Working on it just like the puppet did!
Who’s selling us out to repay them: If our Government can frog-hop over the states and WE the people, we’re safe from no one. Rubber doors with a tiny keyhole rabid radicals will push a good sized donkey through!
When I saw Nancy pull the 25th stunt. I knew what the strategy was, Biden will bow out ill health, Kamala steps in and picks Hilary as VP, same again, Kamala bows out in goes the Hillary, or worse Nancy might go in, it’s a free for all
Cum-ala could not handle the job as border Tzar and her background should tell you why. Does anyone think she could handle the job of president?
Lol…A Clinton aide thinks they (Harris and co) are going to 25th Amendment Biden. Someone needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. .Joe is not well. Buckle up. Kamala will soon be POTUS, that’s how it works! It will be the Wizard behind the Curtain that will have Kamala invoke the 25th amendment if Joe continues to unravel and demonstrate he can’t follow his script.
