America has always had evil people. Every society in human history has. Civilized societies, however, are able to marginalize them and keep them in a position where they can only do a modicum of damage. Civilization will cease to exist in a country overrun by uncivilized, evil barbarians. Historian Will Durant’s words are accurate: “Civilization is an occasional and temporary interruption of the jungle.” The jungle is growing rapidly in America now, and civilization is being swamped by it.
The major problem in the United States now is that evil dominates in many sectors of our society. The Democratic Party is wholly given over to evil, and half the country votes for that party. The Democrats’ total program is evil. Licentiousness, promiscuity, government dependence (slavery), criminality and law breaking—civilization can’t exist when half the people vote for this stuff. The Democratic Party has succumbed to evil and savagery.
The party of Jefferson didn’t used to be that way. But it is now. And while the Republican Party is not as decadent as the Democratic Party is, there is still much, much evil among Republicans as well. Or, perhaps the big problem with the Republicans is weakness, gutlessness. Republicans don't have the strength of character to stand up against evil. As Edmund Burke well said, “Evil prevails when good men fail to act.” He also said, “The hottest fires in hell are reserved for those who remain neutral in times of moral crisis.” Unfortunately, that describes too many Republicans in Washington, D.C.
When I say that the Democratic Party is given over to evil, I don't mean that everything every Democratic Party member does is evil. Nobody is 100% wicked, though some Democrats get close. Even Adolf Hitler loved his mother and did a few nice things for his friends. And there exist some Democrats who occasionally do positive things. But their whole program, from “pride,” to abortion, to transgenderism and child mutilation, to pornography, to illegal aliens, to government slavery—these are evil policies, and they are destroying the civilized, family norms necessary for a country to survive. Just look at the chaos in America today. It hasn’t been caused by traditional, nuclear family, Judeo-Christian values.

The Democrats teach licentious as “freedom,” they teach promiscuity, dependence, violence; they teach evil, they do not teach righteousness, godliness, self-control, individual responsibility, and self- reliance, the family values that are necessary to build a strong society. That is today’s Democratic Party, and what it stands for is pure, 100% evil. And anybody who votes for it is backing that evil agenda.
We will never see the Jeffrey Epstein files. I don't know all that's going on there, but we will never see them, I am convinced of that. Several weeks ago, Pam Bondi said she had them on her desk. Now we're hearing that they have been destroyed, maybe by the CIA 15 years ago or something. But we'll never see them. And if we're naive enough to think that only Democrats are on that list, then we are, of all people, most naive. And so, there are a lot of Republicans that don't want the Epstein files released either.
In other words, the Deep State wins again.
The Deep State has consistently won over the last several decades, and it will probably continue to do so into the foreseeable future. We are hoping that Donald Trump will be able to “drain the swamp” and defeat the Deep State, but he made no dent in that in his first term in office and we aren’t seeing much success so far. Well, he's certainly not going to do it in six months, and he's probably not going to be able to do it at all. The Deep State is too powerful. There are too many forces arrayed against him. And again, his own party is not devoted to defeating the Deep State (the Democrats certainly aren’t), and now, with the Epstein files fiasco, Trump’s own administration is giving in to it.
We are probably not going to see millions of illegals deported, either; the Deep State doesn’t want them gone, and again, I fear that Donald Trump, by himself, doesn’t have the strength to defeat this horrendous enemy.
When there is corruption at the top, when evil dominates a country’s leadership, it will eventually filter down to the masses. And that is what is happening, and has happened, in America. “O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err,” (Isaiah 3:12). When evil is in the hearts of the leaders, it is what they will teach the hoi polloi. And then those indoctrinated masses, in a democracy, now being overcome by evil themselves, turn around and elect more evil leaders. It becomes a vicious circle. In America, that's why the Democratic Party is so evil today, and why so many people vote for evil. They don't know any better. They follow their leaders, and in their hearts, that is what they themselves, have become. Righteousness, for now, has been crushed by evil. It’s not the first time in history that has occurred, not by a long shot.
Can we change this? Can we turn America around? America's problems, as I have stated many times before, are not economic, they aren’t social, and they're not political. America's problem is moral. If you have a rotten people, you're going to have a rotten country. And until we turn this country back to godliness and righteousness, we are not going to save the nation. Burke one more time: “Liberty does not exist in the absence of morality.” I do not see a change happening anywhere on the horizon.
