(End of the American Dream)—Over the past several decades, America’s culture has been transformed at a pace that is absolutely breathtaking. When I was growing up, I was convinced that I believed in a shared set of national values that most other Americans also embraced. But in our day and age those values have been discarded and now people that see the world the way that I do are clearly not in the majority any longer. I know that a lot of people out there may not want to hear that our national values have been turned upside down, but it is the truth. Those that sought to “fundamentally transform” this country have succeeded, and at this point “American values” are vastly different from the “American values” that I cherished as a young boy. The following are 7 numbers that clearly reveal the direction that America has chosen…
#1 There is more political chaos in our nation than there has ever been in my entire lifetime, and more than 40 percent of U.S. voters actually believe that a “second civil war” is likely within the next five years…
More than four-in-ten US voters say the country is likely to get ripped apart in a second civil war within five years, a shocking new survey reveals.
The Rasmussen Reports poll shows that 41 percent eye a civil conflict, compared to 49 percent who say it’s not likely. Another 10 percent said they were not sure.
That amounts to 106 million US adults saying civil war is on the horizon.
The survey comes against a backdrop of mounting violence on US college campuses, where pro-Palestine protestors clash with law enforcers, conservatives, some Jewish students and others.
#2 According to a recent Gallup survey, only 36 percent of Americans approve of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza…
After narrowly backing Israel’s military action in Gaza in November, Americans now oppose the campaign by a solid margin. Fifty-five percent currently disapprove of Israel’s actions, while 36% approve.
The latest results are from a March 1-20 survey. The Israel-Hamas war has continued for five months and has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians and over 1,000 Israelis. Major parts of Gaza have been destroyed, complicating efforts to deliver humanitarian aid to Palestinian civilians still living there. The United Nations and international community, including the Biden administration, have called for a cease-fire, but the two warring sides have been unable to agree.
#3 65 percent of Americans do not approve of the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade…
About two-thirds (65%) oppose the 2022 Supreme Court decision, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, and 34% approve, numbers that have remained effectively unchanged in CNN’s polling across the nearly two years since the ruling. Those who strongly disapprove of the decision continue to outnumber those who strongly approve by a more than 2-to-1 margin.
A 69% majority who disapprove of overturning Roe, including 82% of those who strongly disapprove, say that federal politicians should work to pass laws ensuring national abortion access. Those who support the ruling largely say federal politicians shouldn’t take action on the issue: 59% say laws on abortion should be left up to the states, with 29% in favor of further restrictions to abortion access nationwide. New national restrictions are supported by just about one-quarter of Republicans, White Evangelical Christians and those who describe themselves as conservative.
#4 More than 20 percent of Generation Z adults (22.3 percent to be specific) now identify as LGBTQ+…
Overall, each younger generation is about twice as likely as the generation that preceded it to identify as LGBTQ+. More than one in five Gen Z adults, ranging in age from 18 to 26 in 2023, identify as LGBTQ+, as do nearly one in 10 millennials (aged 27 to 42). The percentage drops to less than 5% of Generation X, 2% of baby boomers and 1% of the Silent Generation.
Bisexuality is the most common LGBTQ+ status among Generation Z, millennials and Generation X. Fifteen percent of all Generation Z adults — representing more than two-thirds of those with an LGBTQ+ identification — are bisexual.
#5 According to the Daily Mail, the number of transgender troops in the U.S. Army has doubled since 2020…
The Pentagon has spent more than $26million treating transgender troops since 2020, official records show.
The number of US army staff with gender dysphoria has doubled in that time — from around 1,800 to 3,700, according to DoD data seen by DailyMail.com.
In the past three years, $17.5m in taxpayer money was spent on psychotherapy for trans service people and $1.5m went towards hormone drugs.
A further $7.6m funded gender-affirming surgeries, including facial tweaks to make a recruit more masculine or feminine, and the removal or creation of breasts and genitals.
#6 By a vote of 692 to 51, the United Methodist Church has voted to approve LGBTQ clergy and same sex weddings in their churches…
The United Methodist Church, one of the largest Protestant denominations in the U.S., has voted to repeal its ban on LGBTQ clergy as well as prohibitions on its ministers from officiating at same-sex weddings.
Delegates overwhelmingly approved the changes, 692 to 51, during the United Methodist Church’s General Conference.
The meeting is taking place this week in Charlotte, N.C. after the pandemic delayed the 2020 General Conference where these decisions had been slated to take place.
#7 Only 3.6 million babies were born in the U.S. last year, and the birth rate is now at the lowest level ever recorded…
The birth rate in the US has declined to a new low, according to data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The figures show that fewer than 3.6 million babies were born in the US last year, the lowest amount since 1979 and equating to the lowest fertility rate EVER recorded.
The CDC analysed the 2023 data and found that the birth rate is down 2 percent on the previous year.
If you go back to 1960, the average U.S. woman gave birth to 3.65 children during her lifetime.
Today, that number has fallen all the way down to 1.6.
But we need a birth rate of at least 2.1 just to keep replacing ourselves.
If we didn’t have so much immigration going on, our population would be steadily falling.
In my latest book entitled “Chaos”, I have an entire chapter about the population collapse that is happening in wealthy nations all over the industrialized world.
It is often said that children are the future of our society, but we have greatly devalued marriage and parenthood.
Meanwhile, birth rates are still very high in many nations in the Middle East and elsewhere.
Given enough time, those that are willing to multiply would become increasingly powerful and those that are not willing to multiply would become less powerful.
But the fact that we aren’t reproducing ourselves is just one of the existential problems that we are facing.
At this point we live in an upside down society that has rejected the values that this nation was founded upon.
If we stay on this path, there isn’t going to be a future for America, and that is the truth.

Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.
Snyder mentions “VOTERS” inferring FAIR ELECTIONS exist —— what exactly is Snyder’s ancestry, he soooo stooopid?!
Snyder believes in Gallup poles?! No further comment!
Snyder is incapable of independent thought!
Does anybody take this IDIOT seriously?
36% of Americans disapprove of the Israel/Hamas war. After how many years of tolerating suicide bombers and constant missiles what do these people think should be done? I think 20 years ago I thought that Israel should have declared a war against this genocide. Actually, any nation that seeks to kill off all of a people should face genocide themselves until they have had enough of killing. Roll on Israel, stamp out the problelm.
Some 65% of American’s don”t approve of the reversal of Roe vs Wade. The Bible says thy shalt not kill, there are laws against murder in every state. Yet, murder of your own child is OK? I don’t think so. And to use abortion as a post birth control solution is doubly wrong. 2 out of every 3 American think child murder is OK. I am ashamed of them.
20% of Gen Z identify as LGBTQ+ xyz. Perverted queers. I can’t understand how having a person’s junk put in your bum can reach this level of ignorance. Girls? Lickers? And others are suckers. To see the news it looks like over half of America are these type of people.
As for the military, it is not their job to promote transgender. I would not want to be backed up in hot war with someone that has problems of who and what they are. I’m sorry.
And the Methodists are now gonna allow gay, lesbian, transgender & whatever to become clergy. If your church uses the Holy Bible as its foundation, that is strictly not allowed. This should increase lost souls, however.
And finally, the U.S. birth rate is falling and it is no wonder. Were I a young person today, I would not want any children to perpetuate all that I see as wrong. Of course, with the best d*mn president we ever had allowing hordes of people crossing our borders, he and that smug, fatherless, commie Alejandro Mayorcas should keep our birthrate up for a few more years. I would like to see both of those people hung in a public square.
This probably will not pass muster for the censors here but it is what it is.
