Do you have acquaintances who feel we are past the “shared powers” of the three branches of gov’t, an apparatus fully assimilated in gov’t wreaking lawless havoc, yet makes no declaration or war, , while also aware of other acquaintances who feel we are in no conflict at all?

Of those who feel the bloom has fallen from our original forms of simple influence, now erased by silencing and judicial activism right into all levels of academic, tech, news, medical and bench, if all true, this apparatus is a strength that seems to thrive in the absence of an actual declaration of war.

What related impression do you hold? Thanks!

Incidentally, my foremost contact (recently ret.) who holds the view “no conflict at all”, is no slouching opinion as he himself was well aware of the level of integrity of the fed having worked within a prominent federal branch as a case investigator in his field, also votes no-confidence in the vast area of today’s news.

It depends on who is in office. The same form of government can be used well or badly.

In history, of the United States, there have been times when wrong people did wrong things while in office. So, now, if there are wrong things, it is not some new thing how certain people are doing wrong things.

In the history of Israel, we can read how there could be a bad king and things went badly, then a king's son did what was right in the sight of God and things could greatly turn around.

So, in any case, if we do what God wants, He will bring His good with what we do with Him, no matter how the rest of the world makes things look by doing horrible stuff.

I disagree, for as Newt pointed out recently, it is due to a 26K member paralysis in DC and only about 2-dozen constitutional faithful. No wonder prosecutions have come to a standstill lest one tote the line for one and only one multi-faced left-wing narrative. Ah yes, while in office, those daily lawsuits pounding away at the Trump administration also serves as a reminder of the symptom of such membership. Still did not deter a track record to wit. Oh, lest it was sent to page 34 as a bare necessity at best.

Silence, more silence.
