America Strong.


According to the Center for Disease Control, in 2018, 80,000 people IN THIS COUNTRY ALONE died from the flu, and it wasn't even a ripple on the radar; last year 770,000 people died from the ongoing pandemic of AIDS (32 MILLION people to date), our system didn't skip a beat. Time to question what we're being fed, America. Time to save our infrastructure, while there's still one to save.

 Fold like a cheap suit?
Cave under pressure?
Be cowed into fear and financial failure?

When did America the Beautiful
Become America the pitiful?
What have we ever allowed to drive us into hiding,
bring us to a standstill,
Cower behind closed doors from our neighbor?
Not even 9/11 could do that.

Joseph Murphy said, “the future of a country is in the collective subconscious of the people of that nation."

It is time for us to remember who we are,
What we stand for,
And what we won't stand for.

It's time for us to be

America Strong.

(During WWII when Great Britain was being attacked with fear inducing propaganda meant to paralyze them, Churchill counter attacked with this propaganda we're all familiar with: Keep Calm and Carry On.  The operative part of that message was "Carry On"...And Carry On they did. Time for us to do the same.)
