America is ceasing to be good, so it’s ceasing to be great

America, Alexis de Toqueville said, would cease to be great when it stopped being good. The prophet Isaiah says in chapter 5 verse 20, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

America is ceasing to be good. It’s perverting justice. It’s filled with lies and with liars and with those who want to believe the lies.

Crime is on the rise. There are girls with knives assaulting other girls. There are girls murdering Uber drivers and getting slapped on the wrist for the crime. There are drug users overdosing and acting violently. There are people burning down cities in response to police responding to bad people doing bad things…

The media lies constantly and faces zero repercussions. This week, the D.C. medical examiner reported that Capitol Hill officer Brian Sicknick died of natural causes. This information, conveniently released while the country looked toward Minneapolis, would have lessoned the smear against the January 6 protesters. FBI director Christopher Wray lied to Chuck Grassley about the death, saying that the “investigation was ongoing” while he knew damn well that Sicknick died of natural causes. He fomented the lie, let it fester and grow.
