AMERICA IN CRISIS: 6.19.21 - The Single Best Thing Americans Can Do to RetakeAmerica

The Single Best Thing Americans Can Do to RetakeAmerica � Dennis Prager - https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=4787 The most frequent question people pose to me is: What can I/we do to fight back against the nihilistic anti-American destruction of virtually all the country's major institutions? There is an answer. The single best thing Americans can do to counter the left-wing attack on America -- against its freedoms, its schools, its families, its children, its governmental institutions,its sports, its news and entertainment media, its medical establishment, the CIA, the FBI, the State Department and the military -- is to take their children out of America's schools. Other than in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), the vast majority of America's elementary schools, high schools, colleges and universities teach your childor grandchild almost nothing important; prematurely sexualize them, thereby robbing them of their innocence; and harm them intellectually and morally. They rarely teach them, for example, art or music because they are too busy teaching them race-centered hatred of whites, of America and of America's values. Sending yourchildren to most American schools is playing Russian roulette with their values -- but unlike the gun in Russian roulette, which has a bullet in only one of its six chambers, the schools' guns hold four or five bullets. In many elementary schools, your child is taught that gender is chosen and that there is no difference between boys and girls (in a growing number of schools, the teachersare told not to call their students "boys and girls"); they are taught about masturbation; and many children from first grade on attend "Drag Queen Story Hour," wherein an obvious man wearing women's clothing, garish makeup and a wig entertains them. Given that all this is well-known, why do any nonleft -- meaning, liberal or conservative -- parents send their children to an American school? One reason is they are in denial. Many parents do not want to know what their children are being taught and the consequent damage done to them. They don't really believeschool(s) will ruin their child, let alone their child's relationship with them. These parents should speak to any of the millions -- yes, millions -- of Americans whose children have contempt for America, for free speech and for their parents as a resultof attending an American college or even high school. I meet such people at every speech I give, and I speak to them regularly on my radio show. Ask these parents, if they could redo their lives, whether they would keep their child in school. A second reason is they feel they have no choice. If they remove their child from the local public or private school (most private schools are just as committed to anti-Americanindoctrination over education as public schools), what will they do with their child? They often cannot find a local school that does not harm their child. They cannot necessarily even rely on Christian or Jewish schools. Most of them are as "woke" as mostsecular schools. And if they do find a school that teaches rather than poisons, they may not be able to afford the tuition. The only other option, then, is to home-school one's child. The problem is that many parents assume this is essentially impossible. For one thing, they assume that one ofthe parents would have to leave his or her work, which would mean a serious reduction in the family's income. In addition, home-schooling strikes most people as simply too daunting a task, even if they could afford to take it on. Neither fear is entirely justified. It is true that, at least at the outset, a working parent may have to cut back from full-time work, and it is true that no matter whatthe family's financial condition, there are challenges to taking one's children out of school and home-schooling them. But given the low intellectual state of most American schools, the damage they do to young children's innocence and the anti-American, anti-white, anti-Western indoctrinationin most schools, if you are a parent of school-age children, �what is your choice?� Other than a) finding a good school that b) you can afford, you have no other choice. You are fooling yourself if you think the odds are that after attending American schoolsfrom kindergarten through college (not to mention through graduate school), your child will turn out well-educated, intellectually alive, rational, kind, happy, well-adjusted, grateful to be American and respectful of you and your values. While there are some wonderful young Americans who recently attended American schools, and there are some lost souls who were home-schooled, American schools are largelyproducing the following: Poorly educated students. Ask your college son or daughter to diagram a sentence; identify Joseph Stalin, "The Gulag Archipelago" or the Soviet Union; name the branchesof the American government; identify -- or just spell -- Ludwig van Beethoven; date the Civil War; identify the Holocaust; and name which sentence is correct -- "He gave the book to my friend and me" or, "He gave the book to my friend and I." Angry young people. Why wouldn't they be? First, they graduate college with a huge load of debt, having received almost nothing useful for their money. Second, if they areanything other than a white heterosexual Christian male, they have been taught to regard themselves as victims of oppression. Third, their future is so bleak they may not even have one: They are threatened with extinction by climate change. The single best thing Americans can do to fight the left-wing destruction of the country is to withdraw from the "educational" system that is actively, deliberately miseducatingthem by the tens of millions. If millions of American parents did so, the country would turn around as fast as you could say "teachers unions." If they don't, their children will continue being used as guinea pigs in the left's sick and dystopian experiment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9 Signs That Some Of America’s Long-Term Trends Are Starting To Become Very Serious Short-Term Problems- by Michael Snyder - http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/9-signs-that-some-of-americas-long-term-trends-are-starting-to-become-very-serious-short-term-problems/ Ignoring long-term problems can work for a while, but eventually they catch up with you. Over the years, I have written many articles about alarming long-term trends inour society that desperately needed to be addressed. Of course the vast majority of those long-term trends never got much attention, because our political system tends to reward politicians that focus on short-term issues. As a result, many of the long-termtrends that I have written about previously have now gotten to a point where they have started to become very serious short-term problems. In this article, I would like to share 9 examples of this with you. #1 I have been warning about exploding debt levels for as longas I have been writing about the economy. Most people know that the U.S. national debt has now crossed the 28 trillion dollar threshold, but hardly anyone is talking about the explosion of corporate debt that we have been witnessing in recent months. Accordingto the Federal Reserve, total corporate debt in the United States is now up to a whopping 11.2 trillion dollars… Before the pandemic, U.S. companies were borrowing heavily at low interest rates. When Covid-19 lockdowns triggered a recession, they didn’t pull back. They borrowed evenmore and soon paid even less. After a brief spike, interest rates on corporate debt plummeted to their lowest level on record, bringing a surge in new bonds. Nonfinancial companies issued $1.7 trillionof bonds in the U.S. last year, nearly $600 billion more than the previous high, according to Dealogic. By the end of March, their total debt stood at $11.2 trillion, according to the Federal Reserve, about half the size of the U.S. economy. #2 Needless to say, this level of corporate debt is not evenclose to sustainable, and we are starting to see a lot of prominent names go bankrupt. In fact, one of the largest mall owners in the entire country officially filed for bankruptcy on Sunday… Washington Prime Group, a major mall owner of more than 100 locations across the United States, filed for bankruptcy, citing pandemic-related shutdowns. The Columbus, Ohio-based company filed for Chapter 11 late Sunday, saying Covid-19 “created significant challenges” and that the move is “necessary.” Washington Prime secured$100 million in new funding to support its day-to-day operations so it can “continue in the ordinary course without interruption.” #3 The standard of living in the United States has been goingdown for a very long time. Here in 2021, inflation is growing at a much faster rate than wages are, and this is squeezing middle class families like never before. One of the ways that families are dealing with this is by putting off major purchases, and thatis one of the reasons why the average age of the vehicles on our roads has now reached an all-time record high… The average age of vehicles on U.S. roadways rose to a record 12.1 years last year, as lofty prices and improved quality prompt owners to hold on to their cars longer. It was the first time the average vehicle age rose above 12 years, according to data released Monday by research firm IHS Markit. While the average vehicle age has risensteadily over the last 15 years, the trend accelerated during the coronavirus pandemic partly because of a drop in new-car sales, IHS said. #4 America’s growing homelessness crisis has accelerated greatlyduring the pandemic, and the big cities in California are being hit the hardest. At this point, it is really difficult to navigate through the streets of San Francisco without stumbling over a tent or stepping in human excrement… For a city as opulent as San Francisco, it’s long been jarring to see the extreme poverty of those experiencing homelessness on its streets. If you walk around downtown,tents, makeshift cardboard beds and human excrement can be seen littering the sidewalks. Impoverished people lie on the ground as a blur of highly paid professionals whiz by. #5 The homelessness crisis is also one of the factors that isfueling the dramatic rise in crime rates that we have been seeing all over the nation. Once upon a time, millions of eager tourists would flock to Venice Beach, but now the phrase “like hell went to hell” is being used to describe conditions at that once pristinetourist trap… Year-to-date numbers show that robberies have nearly tripled since the same period last year. Homeless-related robberies are up 260 percent; homeless-related assaults witha deadly weapon is up 118 percent; property crimes and area burglaries are up 85 percent; and grand theft auto is up 74 percent. According to Embrich, felony arrests are up 68 percent, while misdemeanor arrests have grown by 355 percent. But arrests aren’t enough: Suspects are often released backonto the streets within hours. #6 The police are the ones that are supposed to protect us fromcrime and restore order when things get out of control, but now they are leaving public service in record numbers. After being endlessly demonized by leftist activists and the mainstream media, police officers are either retiring or resigning at a staggeringrate…. Police retirements have risen by 45 percent in the past year, with officers opting out of forces across the country amid Black Lives Matter demonstrations that fueled anti-coprhetoric. The alarming statistic was revealed by the Police Executive Research Forum on Sunday, with the organization also revealing that resignations rose by 18 percent during thesame twelve month period. #7 Have you noticed that many of our cities are becoming disgustinglyfilthy? When I was growing up, I often heard the phrase “cleanliness is next to godliness”, but you never hear anyone use it anymore. These days, filth and grime are everywhere, and that has resulted in widespread infestations. Many of our cities now havemassive problems with rats and bed bugs, but Chicago is the worst of them all… The Windy City is known for quite a few things: hot dogs, deep dish, baseball. But here’s one thing you probably don’t associate with Chicago: bed bugs. Turns out thesetiny hitchhiking pests are quite fond of our city, according to the latest numbers available through Atlanta-based Orkin, a company that specializes in pest control services. In fact, Chicago ranked no. 1 on the 2021 list, according to Orkin, reclaiming the top spot for the first time since 2017, when it slipped to no. 3, just behind Baltimoreand Washington. For the sixth year in a row, Orkin also ranked Chicago the “rattiest” city in America. #8 I have been writing about the drought in the western halfof the country for years, but here in 2021 it is the worst we have ever seen. As I write this article, an astounding 88 percent of the West is officially in a state of drought… Lakes at historically low levels, unusually early forest fires, restrictions on water use and now a potentially record heat wave: even before summer’s start the US Westis suffering the effects of chronic drought made worse by climate change. Eighty-eight percent of the West was in a state of drought this week, including the entire states of California, Oregon, Utah and Nevada, according to official data. #9 When drought gets bad enough, it leads to water shortages,and we will want to watch developments in California very closely. Water supplies have gotten very tight throughout the state, and officials in Santa Clara County just officially declared “a water shortage emergency”… Santa Clara County is in extreme drought. We can’t afford to wait to act as our water supplies are being threatened locally and across California. We are in an emergencyand Valley Water must do everything we can to protect our groundwater resources and ensure we can provide safe, clean water to Santa Clara County residents and businesses. To better deal with these threats and the emergency they are causing, today my fellow Board Members and I unanimously declared a water shortage emergency condition in SantaClara County. This declaration, which is among the strongest actions we can take under law, allows Valley Water to work with our retailers, cities and the county to implement regulations and restrictions on the delivery and consumption of water. We also areurging the County of Santa Clara to proclaim a local emergency and join us in underscoring the seriousness of the threats posed by the extreme drought. Over the past few years, America has been hit by crisis after crisis, and many are yearning for a return to the good old days. Unfortunately, that simply is not going tohappen. The United States is never going to be like it once was. Too many things have changed, and our culture has been radically transformed over the past several decades. Many of the items that I have shared in this article are simply symptoms of much broader cultural problems. We are a deeply, deeply sick society, and it is getting worsewith each passing day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Child abuse or normal? - Bill Wilson � www.dailyjot.com The Hungarian parliament seeks to outlaw promotion of alternative sexual orientations to children. ABC News reports the legislation also bans showing pornographic materialand any content portraying or promoting sex reassignment or homosexuality to anyone under 18.The alt sex special interests say that the legislation brings Hungary into the dark ages of anti-gay propaganda that results in discrimination. In other words, Hungary,like most other countries (including the United States), should allow the alt sex community to recruit children into their lifestyle from their various platforms in school systems under the guise of acceptance and normalization of identifying with dozens ofalternative sexual orientations. ABC quoted David Vig, director of Amnesty International Hungary, saying, �These proposals, which have dark echoes of Russia�s anti-gay �propaganda law,� will further stigmatizeLGBTI people, exposing them to greater discrimination in what is already a hostile environment.� Vig used the acronym�LGBTI�for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people. Here in the US, the acronym is LGBTQ, the �Q� standing for questioning�whichin of itself is an expansion of the evangelical agenda of this community to young children who may have, and probably do have, questions about their sexuality. In America, there are laws on the books against adults who would children with sexual intentions.Yet, the LGBTQI community is allowed in schools to normalize the alternative sexual lifestyle�in other words, evangelize. Vig says that the legislation seeks to crack down on child abuse, and by adding amendments to prohibit promoting sex reassignment or homosexuality to minors �appears tobe a deliberate attempt by the Hungarian government to conflate pedophilia with LGBTI people.� Of course, the Hungarian government and Hungary�s Prime Minister Viktor Orban are coming under international criticism for their efforts to �protect children frompedophilia.� LGBTQI rights groups are saying that such legislation is hostile to lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people. Human Rights Watch denounced the legislation saying that the government is trying to scapegoat LGBTQI people in order to sidestepa greater issue of human rights violations and authoritarianism. The Hungarian legislation is trying to prevent pedophilia AND sexual child abuse. LGBTQI preying on children to normalize and gain acceptance of their sexual lifestyles is wrong. Their deceptive approach is to show that they are against bullying, do funthings, and are really good people so children should aspire to be like them. Since they are identified, and proudly so, by their sexual orientation, there is no question that children are exposed to the sexual nature of who they are. If a heterosexual personwas doing such to minors, they would be arrested. So why do we let any one approach children in such a way? Proverbs 22:6 says, �Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.� Those with evil intent know this aswell as those with pure intent. Thus, the battle over the souls of children. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many U.S. Cities Are Already Starting To Resemble Post-ApocalypticCesspools As America�s Collapse Accelerates - by Michael Snyder - http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/many-u-s-cities-are-already-starting-to-resemble-post-apocalyptic-cesspools-as-americas-collapse-accelerates/ For a moment, I would like you to take an imaginary tour of a major U.S. city with me, and I would like for you to try to guess which city I am talking about. As you strollalong the sidewalks in the heart of this city, it seems like tents have been erected everywhere. Homelessness is completely and utterly out of control in this particular city, and even though city officials keep making more promises the crisis just continuesto get worse. As you continue your tour, you notice multiple addicts doing drugs right in front of you. Drug needles, human waste and other trash are strewn all over the place, and you wonder why nobody from the city has cleaned up the mess. All of this filthhas created a stench that is overpowering at times, and you try not to gag. As you travel deeper into the urban core of this city, you are shocked to see two men with guns carjack a woman a couple of blocks away. Not wanting to get involved, you abruptly changedirection. You are startled when a couple of addicts that look like they were pulled straight out of a zombie movie start asking you for money, and you begin instinctively walking faster without even thinking about it. Unfortunately, you have stumbled intoan alley that you should never have gone down, and you now find yourself completely surrounded by curious street people. You try to make a break for it, but it is too late. I�ll stop our imaginary tour right there. Can you guess which major U.S. city I am talking about? Sadly, the reality of the matter is that there are many U.S. cities that closely fit the description that I just gave you. For example, Los Angeles was once one of the mostbeautiful cities on the entire planet, but today it is being described as a �squalid cesspool�� The Democrat-controlled city of Los Angeles has devolved into a squalid cesspool of rampant crime, uncontrolled homelessness and filthy streets littered with trash, drugparaphernalia and human waste. That�s the observation of numerous Californians, including award-winning actor James Woods, who lamented on Monday that the picturesque city he once loved �is gone.� If you walk through the streets of Los Angeles today, you will find that homeless people have erected tents literally all over the city. Jeremiah Babe has demonstratedthis over and over again in his excellent videos, and the footage that he captures during his visits to the core of Los Angeles just seems to keep getting worse over time. As conditions in Los Angeles deteriorate, it is fueling a dramatic rise in violent crime. The murder rate in Los Angeles is up 95 percent so far this year, and it is nowthe number one political issue in the entire city. Further north, San Francisco officials are dealing with their worst drug epidemic ever. San Francisco has always had a big problem with drugs, but Dr. Christopher Colwellsays that the widespread use of fentanyl has taken things to an entirely different level� �Our most immediate threat right now is the opioid epidemic and the trauma we are seeing. We are seeing increases I haven�t seen in my career around dependency and overdoses,mostly involving fentanyl. We always had problems with opioids, specifically heroin, but fentanyl has changed the whole landscape of drugs.� When we think of addicts, we tend to envision street people in our minds, but in San Francisco a lot of people that are overdosing these days are respected professionals� A physician, two nurses, a professional athlete, a drug dealer and a lawyer who had nodded off in court. Teenagers, specifically a 14- and a 15-year-old. And a 7-year-oldwho got into a stash in her mother�s purse. These are some of the types of people Dr. Christopher Colwell, the chief of emergency medicine at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, has recently seen in the emergencyroom for medical issues related to fentanyl use and overdoses. Whenever you have large numbers of drug addicts in a particular city, you are going to have a problem with property crime. Addicts are always looking for more money to payfor their next hits, and shoplifting has gotten wildly out of control in the city. What makes things even worse is that shoplifters in San Francisco face very light consequences if they are actually caught, and so at this point they have become extremelybrazen� Alarming video captured the moment a brazen robber filled a garbage bag with products at a San Francisco Walgreens and bicycled out of the store after no one tried to stophim. The footage posted on Twitter by ABC7 Reporter Lyanne Melendez was filmed on Monday afternoon in a Walgreens at the corner of Gough and Fell streets in the Bay Area � where17 of the pharmacy�s stores have been forced to close in recent years due to theft. I watched the video, and the thief actually brushes right up against the security guard without any concern whatsoever. On the other side of the country, police in the Atlanta area are operating under new rules that restrict them from chasing criminals. This is infuriating many residents,because now violent criminals can literally get away with just about anything if they just drive away fast enough� This is the moment cops appear to do nothing amid a drive-by shooting in Atlanta as residents of the wealthy Buckhead area say it�s a �warzone� and demand to secede. The video, which was played on Tucker Carlson Tonight, shows people lining up near a dark-colored van that is parked on the side of the road when a white car passes by andshots ring out, with one going straight through the dark van, striking one of the passersby and sending people scrambling. A few seconds later, blue lights could be seen reflecting off the windshield of the black van, symbolizing police cars passing by and not stopping at the scene in the wealthyBuckhead neighborhood. By the way, the murder rate in Atlanta is up 60 percent so far this year, and officials in Atlanta say that they are desperate for solutions. Here is a solution. Perhaps they should actually allow the police to chase down criminals that are shooting at people. Just a thought. Up north, New York City hasn�t seen this much degradation since the dirty days of the 1970s. Crime is wildly out of control, and filth is seemingly everywhere. Earlier today, I came across a report from the local Fox affiliate that discussed the fact that the number of subway cars that are soiled by �feces, vomit, and blood� isincreasing� As people return to the subway system in New York City, they are finding more trash and filth, according to a new report. There has been a rise in soiled train cars this year according to Daily News including cases of feces, vomit, and blood. Do you ever wonder who gets to clean up those messes? I hope that whoever has to do that job is well paid. As our major cities degenerate into cesspools of crime, drugs and filth, vast numbers of ordinary citizens are fleeing for greener pastures. In fact, North American VanLines has just released a report that confirms that there was a huge wave of migration from �blue states� to �red states� in 2020� The pandemic saw people leave Democratic blue states in droves and head towards sunnier climes in the red states of the south to escape the strict lockdowns and spiralingcrime. A migration report from moving company North American Moving Services found those living in the states of New York, California, Illinois, New Jersey and Maryland headedfor Arizona, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina and Idaho. Unfortunately, this is just the beginning. As our cities continue to deteriorate, millions more Americans will be seeking to relocate. Of course this ongoing mass exodus has already pushed home prices in many desirable rural and suburban areas to absolutely absurd levels. If you are thinking about relocating, I would recommend doing it as soon as possible, because the collapse of our major cities is only going to get worse. ---------------------------------------------------- Homelessness Is Becoming A Crisis Of Epic Proportions In The United States- by Michael Snyder - http://endoftheamericandream.com/homelessness-is-becoming-a-crisis-of-epic-proportions-in-the-united-states/ Can you imagine what it would be like to not have a home? For many Americans, this is not something that they need to imagine because it is a daily reality. Nobody knowsfor sure how many homeless individuals there are in this country, but recent estimates range from �fewer than 600,000 to more than 1.5 million people�, and everyone agrees that the number has been growing. Even as the wealthy engage in wild bidding wars overthe most desirable properties, more impoverished Americans are being forced into the streets with each passing day. There has always been homelessness in America, but here in 2021 it is rapidly becoming a crisis of epic proportions. Ironically, the state with the worst problem is also the wealthiest state in the nation. At least 160,000 homeless people currently live in California, although many believethat official figure is way too low. The number of homeless in the state had been rising for years, and then the pandemic came along� Tent-lined streets with belongings scattered everywhere. Infected wounds with bugs living inside. A man who hasn�t showered in over a decade. An 80-year-old woman who can�tfeed herself. People who ride the metro rail lines because the trains are a safer place to sleep. California�s homeless problem has been out of control for decades. Then came COVID-19. In many California cities, tent cities have seemingly popped up everywhere these days. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the number of tent encampments in San Franciscoalone has grown by 70 percent during the pandemic� Tent encampments are typical sights under freeways and in areas such as skid row � a pocket of downtown Los Angeles known for its vast homeless population � but the pandemic,shutdowns and quarantines caused them to spread across the city. Encampments popped up in parking lots, neighborhood parks and outside schools, not only in Los Angeles but other parts of the state. In San Francisco alone, tent encampments grew by 70% and became more visible across the city, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. San Francisco is one of the wealthiest cities in the entire world. If this is happening now, how bad will things get when the U.S. economy really starts to fall apart? The homelessness crisis continues to grow rapidly on the east coast as well. In New York City, many have become concerned about the �growing presence� of the homeless inTimes Square� An influx of homeless people into Manhattan�s Hell�s Kitchen neighborhood after an emergency move by New York City to ease crowding in shelters has been a fact of pandemiclife for the neighborhood since last spring. Many of the newcomers, living in nearby hotel rooms contracted by the city, have been largely inconspicuous. But others with mental health and drug problems have becomea growing presence in Hell�s Kitchen and adjacent Times Square. Now that the pandemic is fading, many New Yorkers are quite eager to have the homeless removed from Times Square because the tourists are starting to return. Needless to say, seeing hordes of homeless people laying in the streets is not good for business, and the increase in homelessness has also helped to fuel a dramatic risein violent crime in the Times Square area� The police precinct that includes Times Square and many of the hotels has seen a 183 percent spike in felony assaults and 173 percent spike in robberies so far this yearcompared to 2020, according to NYPD data. As you can probably imagine, homelessness has been growing in the middle of the country too. In Dallas, a large homeless camp was recently removed by authorities after local residents loudly complained� The city of Dallas has removed a homeless camp after nearby residents complained it was putting their health and safety in jeopardy. While some who called the camp home say they have no place to go, neighbors are grateful the city is finally responding. The sprawling homeless encampment was covered bya canopy of trees and located behind houses along Tres Logos Lane in northeast Dallas. Nobody wants a homeless camp in their neighborhood, but where are those homeless people supposed to go? They have to sleep somewhere. But for now, residents of that particular neighborhood are just thrilled that those homeless people are no longer their problem. In fact, one local resident told the pressthat she is so happy that they are gone that she has �chills�� �I am so excited, I am so happy, I have chills,� said resident Maria Sanchez. �It�s not just the homelessness that we�re talking about, its other individuals that are, youknow, doing other illicit activities sketchy activities.� So what happens if Maria Sanchez loses her current job and starts getting behind on her rent or mortgage payments? Ultimately, the vast majority of Americans are just a few months away from being homeless themselves. In fact, now that a nationwide eviction moratorium is ending, we are being told that millions more Americans could soon be forced out into the streets� MILLIONS of renters face eviction as a nationwide ban is set to end in two weeks. It comes as 5.7million Americans � nearly 14% of all renters nationwide � had fallen behind on their rent in April. The study by the National Equity Atlas revealed that tenants owed nearly $20 billion in rent, with low-income people among those worst affected. So as bad as things are now, they could soon get a whole lot worse. Can you imagine what that would look like? Sleeping on the streets is extremely dangerous, and vast numbers of homeless people end up dying. According to USA Today, more than 1,300 homeless people died in Los AngelesCounty alone in 2020� The crisis in California has left a trail of death. Some come from drug overdoses, violence or untreated illnesses that compound over time. Others come from suicide. These people die under freeways, along sidewalks and inalleys, hospitals and vehicles. More than 1,300 died last year in Los Angeles County alone. An additional 1,200 died the year before that. During the pandemic, the federal government has borrowed and spent trillions and trillions of dollars, and the Federal Reserve has pumped trillions and trillions of dollarsinto the financial system, and yet the suffering of those at the bottom of the economic food chain has gotten much, much worse. Something is very wrong with that picture. No matter what our leaders do, the homelessness crisis in this country just seems to keep escalating. Vast numbers of our fellow citizens will be sleeping on the streetstonight, and many more will soon be joining them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VISIT: PROPHECY WATCHER WEEKLY NEWS: HTTP://PROPHECY-WATCHER-WEEKLY-NEWS.BLOGSPOT.COM
