A year of trepidation? Hype? Or hope?

"We go forward into the New Year. Or is it the fray? Starting tomorrow, we will find out. As God is our witness, we need to be the light of freedom for the world. If we stop being that light, the world has nowhere to turn."  

Read an article the past few days, saying that 2023 is shaping up to be a real clinker. All the bad stuff which has been put in motion the past couple years, will come home to roost starting tomorrow. Like what kind of stuff? Besides the endless war in Ukraine, we will have mass layoffs, stock prices plummeting, and 401K plans crumbling. And that is just part of it.

Just seems like yesterday (pre-pandemic), that we were getting ready to have the new "Roaring 20's". The decade of the 2020's was going to be amazing! Progress! We were going back into space, have all kinds of technology developments, and new found wealth. Then came the election.

The country elected a man who continues to defy explanation. An octogenarian who acts every second of his advanced age - and then some. A man who for reasons yet unexplained, has opened up our southern border to anyone and everyone - without vetting. Plus - has declared war on our domestic energy resources, which has left us begging OPEC (and worse) for more oil production.

All of a sudden, our "Roaring Twenties" have devolved into a recession or maybe even something beyond. All the planning of a new hope of prosperity, has been replaced with hunkering and bunkering. We have lost faith in our CDC, FBI, DOJ, DHS and more. Since we can't rely on more revenue coming in from a broken economy, our "government" has decided to hire an additional 87,000 IRS agents. Why? To squeeze the middle class for more tax money and financial intrusion. In what universe does this thinking come from?

I know, I know. Many of my friends on the left think Biden is the best thing since sliced bread. He is after all, the "Anti-Trump". Some have been so blinded by Biden's bullshit, they can't see the mess we are in. They still think this career politician is the cat's pajamas. But he is not. He is evil. He is corrupt. He has put us in danger. And he is ruining the country.

2023. A year of hope? Hype? Or trepidation? Most I have talked to, are fearful of this upcoming year. The Republicans have the House, but will that help? Or will Team Biden have landmines planted all over the path, to make progress a non-starter. 

We go forward into the New Year. Or is it the fray? Starting tomorrow, we will find out. As God is our witness, we need to still be the light of freedom for the world. If we stop being that light, the world has nowhere to turn. And the "Roaring Twenties", will be nothing more than the decade of darkness.
