[Breitbart] Craig Shirley, author of December 1941: 31 Days that Changed America and Saved the World, speculated on Tuesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow that American political divisions will fracture the country within the nation’s third century.
"I don’t know if America is special enough to stay together in a third century," Shirley warned on the 80th anniversary of Imperial Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1942.
Shirley remarked, "[Andrew Breitbart] once said, very adroitly, that politics is downstream from culture. Our culture, we don’t eat the same breakfast cereal anymore. We don’t read the same newspapers. We don’t consume the same news. We’re divided in every way, shape, and form in our culture, and thus it translates downstream into our politics. I personally think — and not that I’m hoping, I’m just an observer — but I think the United States is heading toward a breakup. It’s already happening."
We are rapidly becoming two very different nations with two very different cultures. At one time we truly were the “United” States of America, but now we have been split into two opposing camps that deeply hate one another. As a result, in recent years we have watched millions of Americans relocate for ideological reasons. This has caused “red states” to become even redder and “blue states” to become even bluer. At this point, there are just a handful of “purple states”, and it is in those states where our presidential elections are determined. It is really not healthy for just a few states like Pennsylvania and Michigan to have such power, but that is a topic for another article. In this article, I want to discuss why the mass exodus from blue states to red states is actually going to accelerate in 2022.

There is a phrase on every coin and every dollar that holds the Nation together. When that phrase is no longer true, then we are no longer a nation.

The American republic was designed with 'just good enough' centralization as the founders understood the dangers of the concentration of powers. Since the end of WW2 those in Washington have been hungering on more and more power and centralization. So much so we basically lost the old republic and have had a oligarchy for decades. It's finally reached a point that the kabuki theater of pretense is quickly dissolving for too many people to ignore. Throw in the incompetence of those with their hands on power, the stage is set for dissolution.

The new Woke motto for the USSA: e uni, plurum
= Out of One, Many
BLUF: We need to separate from this sick mofos. They aren't remotely like us, they hate us, and they're deliberately destroying the nation we love.
Agreed that our destiny is at least two nations in a very loose federation having a single currency and military under a single command.
But really, how can we have one nation and...
- two de facto justice systems -- one to release Deep State and BLaMteefa criminals, another designed to punish law-abiding white Class Enemies
-- two definitions of American history -- one that says we've always been devils and that slavery 'n' rayciss defines every single event and personage in our national story, and another that says we're a great nation that like any other has flaws
- two definitions of human biology and normal human behavior -- one that says there are 17 genders, promotes ped0phila and encourages children to hack off their genitalia or breasts, and another that preserves the normal human moral understandings of our civilization
- two incompatible immigration policies -- an Open Borders pushed by the UniParty, and normal border enforcement advocated by governors like DeSantis and Abbott
- two incompatible political economies -- one based on Latin-style Oligarchy and dependence along with surveillance by Big Tech, the other based on broadly shared prosperity from traditional industries, domestic manufacturing, and millions of small businesses

Plenty of divided countries these days but few where the fault lines are so clearly drawn between two mutually loathing groups.
On one side are the Wokesters and white-hating blacks totaling maybe 12-15% of the population; their elitist UniParty backers and hypereducated apologists -- these total another 10-12%; and finally the vast ranks of government employees, who now make up over a quarter of the workforce.
Deduplicate and you get at least 40% of the population supporting the Woke vision of a New USSA.
As to the rest of us normals, we're all but nonexistent in the deep blue cities and inner suburbs where about 40% of the population resides, so it's hard to see us making up more than 50% of the population.
In short we're divided as deeply, cleanly and as bitterly as the French were in the first half of the 20th century. Didn't end well for France's Third Republic and won't end well for us.

Watching many of the polls there is always about 22-24% support what ever on the Left. There seems to be about a 40% middle who are unlikely to 'die on that hill' for anyone. There about 30% +/- who are on the right or 'Amercian' (vs International Socialist) side.
As for the cities, I thought it was a nice warning back in April 2020 what happens to them when supply lines and distribution is cratered. Heck they just sit there like sheep lead to the slaughter by the pols who let the gangs and thugs run loose.

...Quite likely the most effective single anti-ship weapon of the Second World War.

The US Navy had a Wargaming System before the start of WW2 that (as a programmer that got permission to make a cottage game out of it stated) accurately covered everything but two (2) Japanese weapon systems:
(1) The Type 93 'Long Lance' Torpedo; and
(2) Kamikazes.
It is an interesting hypothetical to wonder what would have happened in the Imperial Japanese Navy had invested in an additional 20 long-range submarines and attacked US/Canadian shipping.

Hearing up now on Bannon contempt of Congress charge. This is what Bannon's legal team wants under discovery from the government: pic.twitter.com/RWOFBxx4TQ
It's clear Bannon's team is attempting to delegitimize the entire J6 committee, which is great.
Notes Thompson's personal lawsuit should preclude him from heading committee. Notes Raskin's lead role in Trump's impeachment. "Entitled to know what the processes were."
[SlayNews] Not a single healthy child aged between the ages of 5 and 18 has died from COVID-19 in the first 15 months of the pandemic, a study by German scientists has found.
"Overall, the SARS-CoV-2-associated burden of a severe disease course or death in children and adolescents is low," the scientists stated in a new report.
"This seems particularly the case for 5-11-year-old children without comorbidities."
While the virus has yet to claim the lives of any healthy children between the ages of 5 and 18, only six children and adolescents have died in that age range due to severe preexisting conditions.

Just finding the death stats on the <= 18 age demographic is difficult.

15 Jul 2021 Nature: Deaths from COVID ‘incredibly rare’ among children
In a series of preprints published on medRxiv1–3, a team of researchers picked through all hospital admissions and deaths reported for people younger than 18 in England. The studies found that COVID-19 caused 25 deaths in that age group between March 2020 and February 2021.
About half of those deaths were in individuals with an underlying complex disability with high health-care needs, such as tube feeding or assistance with breathing.

There is a reason the data is hard to find.....
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
