Unless the rigged trial verdict in New York City is overturned quickly, the answer is yes, we are a radical socialist nation. Some other recent events make us wonder if the republic can be saved.

• -WEST POINT—The West Point Association of Graduates has decided to present the Sylvanus Thayer Award for 2024 to Barack Obama. The Thayer Award is presented annually to a distinguished American civilian who best exemplifies the United States Military Academy’s motto of DUTY, HONOR, COUNTRY.

Why would West Point graduates want to bestow the award on Barack Obama? Unless the association now recognizes Americans who have diligently worked to replace our nation and its heritage with a communist totalitarian regime that despises American citizens and the entire country, this makes no sense.

Is the Tide Turning to Freedom?

Domestically

With our prayers and involvement, we must have hope of saving our republic. Let’s look at some recent wins that show the tide might be turning in the direction of Conservative Judeo-Christian values. However, we need Republican LEADERSHIP, which seems to be in short supply.

• MISSOURI—On July 22, the state of New York was ordered to respond to a lawsuit filed by the state of Missouri’s Attorney Andrew Bailey regarding the prosecution of President Donald Trump. On behalf of the people of Missouri, Bailey argued that the prosecution of the “hush money” case (that included the court’s gag orders) damaged Missourians’ rights to hear Trump speak freely ahead of the election. New York was told to respond by July 24.

Internationally

• ITALY—To protect farming, Prime Minister Georgia Meloni’s right-wing government has banned the installation of ground mounted solar panels on farmland. They say it is a “threat to our food sovereignty.” However, they will allow agri-voltaic solar panels if they are placed 2.1 metres above fields so that crops can grow under them.
• PARAGUAY—it’s new President Santiago Peña recently announced that the country’s embassy will be reopened in Jerusalem. At the same time, Israel will reopen its embassy in Asunción. This was supposed to have taken place in 2018, per an announcement by outgoing President Horacio Cartes in his final months in office. However, when President Abdo Benitez was sworn in, he decided not to make the move because he wanted Paraguay to be neutral re Israeli-Palestinian issues.

Most nations with diplomatic relations with Israel still have their embassy in Tel Aviv. Those in Jerusalem are: Kosovo, Honduras, Guatemala and the United States.
