The World Looks to America

    The world looks to America 
       for liberty, for leadership, for life  

     Yet Americans turn inward 
       seething with strife

     Expectations still high across the sea ~
       for the home of the brave, the land of the free

The controllers behind The New World order are creating the chaos and division we are seeing my friend, evil they are. Goodness will return when our Savior does. Until then expect division and chaos...

Many years ago Paul Harvey warned us that "the melting pot ain't melting any more"...

Myself I am afraid for America. I have never seen USA so conflicted. Perhaps it should be DSA “Divided States of America”

We certainly do Gershon, our big brother.

Yes, and Americans aren't even aware of it.
