Has America Run Out of Time?

(End of the American Dream)—For those that love America, these are very trying times.  We have watched our beloved country go steadily downhill for decades, and in recent years that process has greatly accelerated.  Now we have reached a point where our entire culture is absolutely saturated with evil, and large media corporations make billions of dollars exporting that culture to the rest of the world.  In the end, we will truly reap what we have sown.  If our nation had chosen to reverse course, things could have worked out much differently.  But that has not happened.  Yes, there are individuals and small groups that have chosen to change direction, but the nation as a whole just continues to run the wrong direction as fast as it possibly can.  In this article, I am going to share some numbers with you that are just staggering.  We have been given opportunity after opportunity to choose a different direction, and we just keep making the wrong choices.  At some point we will be out of opportunities.  In fact, could it be possible that America has already run out of time?

In June 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

That was an opportunity for our nation to go in a new direction. But that wasn’t what happened.

Instead, the number of abortions during the 12 months immediately after Roe v. Wade was overturned was actually higher than the number of abortions during the 12 months immediately preceding that ruling.

And now a new report from the Guttmacher Institute is telling us that the abortion rate in 2023 was the highest that it has been since 2014…

Abortions have reached their highest level in 10 years, despite bans on the procedure in more than a dozen states.

A report released Tuesday by reproductive health firm Guttmacher Institute showed that there were 1 million abortions in the US in 2023, the equivalent of 16 per every 1,000 women.

That was up 10 percent from the 14.4 per 1,000 in 2020 and the highest since 2014, when the rate was 14.6 per 1,000.

As for the total number of abortions, we haven’t seen a million in a single year since 2012.

Today, most abortions are done by taking pills.

That same Guttmacher Institute report says that a whopping 63 percent of all U.S. abortions were conducted in this manner last year…

The report also found that 63 percent of abortions performed in 2023 were from medications, such as the two-pill regimen of mifepristone and misoprotol. In 2000, no abortions were done with this method.

It has become easier and easier for women in the United States to get these pills.

In fact, it is being reported that “abortion pill mifepristone hit the shelves at CVS and Walgreens for the first time this month”.

So the number of abortions performed by taking pills is expected to go even higher during the years ahead.

Of course many of the celebrities that our young people follow militantly promote “reproductive freedom”.  For example, Plan B pills and condoms were given out for free at Olivia Rodrigo’s recent concert in St. Louis…

The Missouri Abortion Fund distributed the morning-after pill and condoms to concertgoers during Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS tour Tuesday night in St. Louis. It was part of the pop star’s Fund 4 Good initiative focused on “building an equitable and just future for all women, girls, and people seeking reproductive health freedom.”

Rodrigo, 21, has not been shy about her support for reproductive rights throughout her career. Fund 4 Good, launched in conjunction with the GUTS tour in February, has announced Rodrigo’s commitment to partnering with local chapters of the National Network of Abortion Funds throughout the tour and is ensuring that a percentage of proceeds will go to reproductive rights organizations.

“It’s brutal out here in Missouri, but we are here for abortion access,” the abortion fund tweeted following the concert.

Whether you like it or not, this is our society now.

Meanwhile, the proportion of the population that identifies as LGBTQ+ just continues to grow.

The following comes from NBC News…

The percentage of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer adults in the U.S. continues to increase, reaching an all-time high of 7.6% in 2023, according to a new Gallup report. Broken down by gender, the survey of 12,000 people 18 and older across the country found that women were nearly twice as likely as men to identify as LGBTQ.

“Almost 30% of Gen Z women identify as LGBTQ+, most as bisexual,” Jeffrey Jones, a senior editor at Gallup, told NBC News. “That’s where a lot of the growth seems to be happening.”

Just think about those numbers for a moment.

Young adults are the future of this country.

And now almost a third of all Gen Z women identify as LGBTQ+.

Those that wanted to fundamentally transform our culture have succeeded.

Can you imagine what our founders would think if they could see us today?

Earlier this month, I was shocked when I read a story about a social media influencer known as “Meow” that identifies as a dog…

An American woman who identifies as a dog has given an insight into what her daily life looks like.

The social media star, who is known as Meow, appeared on KIIS FM’s The Kyle & Jackie O Show on Thursday to discuss what it means to live life as a canine.

She told hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson how she sleeps in a crate, is rewarded with dog treats and has ‘handlers’ who help to look after her.

Meow, who livestreams on gaming platform Twitch, explained how she identifies as a Dalmatian and will bark and run on all fours as she embraces life as a dog.

I don’t get it.

Why would you call yourself “Meow” if you identify as a dog? Maybe someone out there can explain that to me.

At this point, nobody can deny that we are in the midst of a cultural tsunami.

Once upon a time, most Americans embraced Christian values, but now a recent Pew Research Center survey has discovered that 80 percent of U.S. adults believe that “religion’s role in American life is shrinking”…

Meanwhile, the vast majority of U.S. adults — 80% — said “religion’s role in American life is shrinking,” a percentage that’s the highest it has been in Pew’s research history.

Just 18% expressed the belief faith is gaining influence in American society.

Unfortunately, there aren’t any signs that this is going to change any time soon.

So it is just a matter of time before we reap what we have sown.

I often remind my readers that “the clock is ticking”, and time is certainly flying here in 2024.

We have already reached the end of winter, and now spring has begun…

Spring is starting a little earlier than usual this year.

Tuesday, March 19 at 11:06 p.m. EDT will mark the vernal equinox for the Northern Hemisphere, when the sun is directly over the equator and its energy is in balance between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, according to the National Weather Service.

Every day is so precious, and our nation has been going in the wrong direction for a very long time.

How long will be too long?

Sadly, I am entirely convinced that it is already much later than most people think it is.
