Let’s us start now to change the course of our nation

A great big hello to all, and it is mighty nice that we’re speaking again! I sure missed coming here to bloviate from time to time. So, I hope we are all doing well, and let’s get to catching up!

On the day I write this, we are in a world of hurt. Just a year and a half ago, we were on the right track, headed for an economic revival. With Trump in charge, inflation was low at the same time our work participation rate was rising, with more Americans at work than ever before. There was a rising gross domestic product, and finally, a President that was standing up to the communist Chinese. What happened?

President Trump was turned out of office in an election many consider questionable. I don’t. I am sure President Trump left office as the result of a “rigged election” as they say. And if you stop and think about it, you probably know it, too. It never made sense that a frail old man, one that could barely get eight people to sit in their cars while he rambled on, many times incoherently, about his vision for our future, became the president of the United States. It was not a winning performance. And it didn’t look like one.

The proof, which has been overwhelming from the start, has only grown stronger and more widespread. If you will turn your computer to www.frankspeech.com and click on the link titled “Bombshell Proof of Election Machine Manipulation” you can see for yourself.

Our economy is drowning in a sea of deficit spending and the resulting inflation. There are many that believe we are in for a major recession. There are many, too, that think a major recession might be the best-case scenario.

On the food front, a front we never had to worry with before, the outlook is bleak. Fighting in the Ukraine, the bread basket of Europe, has been predicted to cause worldwide shortages in the wheat and grains market. Our reduction in energy production, particularly natural gas, has drastically affected fertilizer costs, resulting in a reduction in the fertilizer used, which will inevitably cut yields this fall. Already, in the poorer countries, food shortage riots have begun.

On the energy front, Biden has begun the war on energy he promised. The United States, under Biden, drives up the price of energy, resulting in Putin’s financial ability to wage war, at the same time cutting our food supplies planet-wide. The worldwide economy depends on reasonable energy prices to function properly. Any tinkering with that supply or price causes big problems!

On the international front, meetings in capitals around the world no longer clamor for input from the USA. We are going to be irrelevant for as long as Biden stays in office. The world sees a president without support from the American people and plans accordingly.

In our international role, we have beaten the drums of war with astonishing vigor. The horrors of war have been exposed nationwide. Democrat and Republican alike embrace big spending on war material. Emotional scenes are shown us every day.

Can someone articulate for me strategic national interest that compels our participation in this war? I heard Sean Hannity practically begging American fighter pilots to go bomb the line of ordinance on the roads to Ukraine’s capital just a few days ago. Sean didn’t seem to understand our lack of action, as if blowing up a nuclear nation’s arms were just a minor event!

There is no direction to turn your gaze and find a respite from our troubles. Yet, there is hope for our recovery. If we start, in 2022, to change the course of our nation, there is still time. But things are going to have to change an awful lot in the next three years or so in order for us to reclaim our secure footing as an economic and military powerhouse. I hope to get started on those in my next column. Until then…
