How Long Until America Experiences a Second Civil War?
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) It’s more than obvious that the United States is divided, yet far too many people are not willing to admit how dangerous the American condition is. Why is it that Americans are pitted against one another on numerous issues, yet there is an attitude that somehow such a reckless disregard for one another can continue without serious consequences? Differences are so serious that the country will collapse if people don’t wake up before it’s too late. America is living on borrowed time, and a complete change in individual and collective attitudes must take place if […]
The Disastrous Failure in Afghanistan
The Disastrous Failure in Afghanistan(Part One)(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) The words “shocking,” “dismayed,” and “complete surprise,” have been expressed as the Taliban have swept across Afghanistan in blitzkrieg fashion, and provincial capitals have fallen like dominoes. In all actuality, what’s happening is tragic, disgraceful, and a global embarrassment, but it will never be admitted by the Biden administration. America’s allies are now questioning whether the United States can be relied upon, and is it simply a superpower in name only? Afghanistan will now be a training ground for terrorists and a safe haven. Not only is the region going […]

The Coming American Humanitarian Crisis
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) Deuteronomy 28:49-50- “The Lord shall bring a nation against you from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies; a nation whose tongue you shall not understand. (50) A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young: (52) And he shall besiege you in all your gates, until your high and fenced walls (defenses) come down, wherein you trusted, throughout all your land: and he shall besiege you in all your gates throughout all your land, which the […]

America Has Been Put On Notice
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) On December 11, 2021, multiple tornadoes struck five states causing catastrophic damage, killing, and injuring hundreds. The city of Mayfield, Kentucky was completely destroyed by not only the worst tornado in the state’s history, but the strongest recorded tornado in U.S. history. Because Americans have become accustomed to tornadoes as a natural phenomenon that happens year after year, what took place from Kentucky to Arkansas will soon be forgotten. Such will not be the case, however, for those who lost loved ones, as well as their homes and businesses. One Mayfield resident interviewed on Fox […]
Can You Prove What You Believe?
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) Christianity today is in a state of complete confusion because the nation’s clergy and members of church after church are confused. What can only be described as one big giant mess is because deception has made huge inroads that has resulted in so much confusion. II Timothy 4:3- “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap on themselves teachers, having itching ears.” Churches across the country are not telling members what they need to hear, but what they want to hear. Christianity in America […]

The Ominous Threat to America’s Power Grid
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) Never has the United States faced so many problems as it is now. It has become painfully obvious that solutions are as elusive as holding the wind in the palms of a person’s hands. The threat to America’s infrastructure is something very few Americans are considering due to concerns about inflation, supply chain disruptions, COVID, the crisis in education, and a president who is completely out of touch due to poor leadership. In a report released by the government, the Department of Homeland Security states that radical extremists plan to attack the nation’s power grid. It […]

America’s Reprehensible and Irresponsible Spending Addiction
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) If Americans were asked to give their opinions of the state of the economy, how each person has been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis would in all likelihood determine what answers are given. Economic problems plaguing the country are not being reported truthfully. The mainstream media is not reporting the financial hardship Americans are facing. The loss of jobs, homes, vehicles, and other personal assets are barely given lip service. The number of permanent business closures nationwide is being completely overlooked. Why? It is a political hot potato that must be lied about and avoided […]
America’s Mental State is in Need of Major Changes
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) If ever there has been a period of time in America’s short history that defies the words that are required to describe what the nation has become, it is now. Never has there been a time in which the mental state of the nation’s leaders and the American people have every reason to be questioned. Common sense has been replaced by total nonsense in the way far too many American’s reason and justify what they say and do. The mental state of the nation is alarming and equivalent to performing a dangerous balancing act on […]
America the Angry and Lawless
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) If ever there has been an exercise in futility, it is the attempt to convince people to put differences aside and be united not divided. It was the theme of President Biden’s inaugural address, a speech equivalent to an unrealistic wish list. There could not have been a greater degree of meaningless platitudes spoken. The words were completely out of touch with reality, yet it should not have come as a surprise since leaders in Washington live in a bubble enveloped by a reality of their own making. The nation’s leaders and the American people […]
America Is a Stranger Unto Itself
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) To ask what has happened to America is a question with disturbing answers. Radical changes are overtaking every attempt to stop what can only be described as unadulterated godlessness that is going to result in deadly consequences the country in no way is prepared for. Immoral behavior has become the norm and anyone who takes a moral stand is banned by mainstream media outlets and considered a social pariah. Labels with expired expiration dates are attached to anyone who has views based on moral principles, especially from the bible. A Nation Plagued by IndifferenceFor decades, the […]
Mexico Reaches Natural Gas Agreement with Russia and China
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) Mexico has reached an agreement with two Russian and two Chinese companies after months of negotiations involving natural gas-pipeline contracts, according to negotiators directly involved with the talks. Under the terms agreed upon, Mexico will allow Russian and Chinese troops to stay in the country in order to protect America’s neighbor from “U. S. Aggression.” In return Russia and China will have access to all natural gas supplies “with assurances that all citizens of Mexico will be provided adequate supplies for all their needs,” according to negotiators. “This is a solution to a very tense and […]

A Warning from the Past
(Copyright) by Richard Markland A war on free speech is being waged. Targeting anyone who speaks out or questions Leaders in power is becoming increasingly dangerous. As sinister actions on the part of elected officials in Washington are becoming more obvious, there is a real danger for anyone who holds leaders accountable for their abuse of power. The key to keeping the American people at bay is to instill fear for what is openly expressed. What people are saying and doing is being used against them. Washington is Big Brother. Out of control government is now dictating what people can and […]
A Nation That Talks the Talk, but Refuses to Walk the Walk
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) When it comes to problems, America is a nation that naively believes it has the leisure of looking the other way and turning a blind eye to what is urgent and in need of immediate attention. This in all actuality is a monumental understatement when realizing the cold hard reality of what we’ve become as a nation and people. Even though the very survival of the country is at stake, this is a generation either in complete denial of its true condition or is tragically viewing problems with a wait and see attitude. This non-urgent […]

An Orwellian America is Defining the Nation
(Copyright) by Richard Markland For decades Americans have been warned of a time in which George Orwell’s Novel “1984” would become a reality. The American people cannot say they have not been put on notice. Irreplaceable freedoms are being eliminated. The tactics used are invasive, immense in size and scope and without consideration for anyone or anything. The American people should be alarmed by what is taking place but there is not an understanding of what has become a frightening reality. There is a lack of foresight about what the future holds and a careless indifference towards how each and every person […]
The Oppression of the American People
The Suppression of Freedom(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) PART 1 Any given event of and by itself is not as important as what takes place in the days, weeks, and months beyond when it has happened. The Corona Crisis is taking on a life of its own. The abuse of power is rearing its ugly head, yet few Americans are aware of how much their lives are going to be impacted. Covid 19 is going to alter the life of every man, woman and child in ways that would have been considered farfetched months ago. It will become a matter of […]
The Cure for the Tragic American Condition
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) What is it about prosperity that opens the door to complacency? Urgency is nonexistent when everything is convenient and within reach. According to Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary Eleventh Edition: Prosperity- “Self-satisfied: especially when accompanied by unawareness of actual dangers; unconcerned.” Simply put, a sense of urgency has no place within the American mindset if life is going well. It has been eight decades since Americans were asked to sacrifice, both in the cost of lives, and personal comforts. The generation of World War II was a far cry from what Americans have become. This is a generation […]
Major Changes are Necessary if America is to Survive
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) When looking at society, it is becoming more difficult to not only understand changes taking place, but where changes are headed. To discuss whether the changes are justified or not is a point of contention. Condemnation towards those who are conservative is becoming more widely accepted because society is more liberal and lawless. Conservatism, however, is viewed as the culprit for out-of-control reasoning and resulting behavior in the nation today. How Stable Will America Be If Liberalism Becomes the Overriding New Reality?Liberalism and people who are liberal have been waging a full-scale assault on the nation’s […]
Division Will Lead to the Nation’s Destruction if not Restrained
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) The year 2020 will go down in history as a year of deep division. It will be remembered as a time in which Americans turned on one another. The national election for the presidency will be remembered as illegitimate by Trump supporters and conservatives, but fair by Democrats and liberals. Most Americans fail to see long range repercussions for the way they decide to deal with problems. What is taking place will irreversibly harm the country as long as emotions are the driving force behind the stances people are taking. What is developing is a national […]
