If I were to take the headlines of some news stories, blog posts, and politicians’ declarations, it would prove my title question’s validity.  I am beginning to embrace the reality that our world has gone stark, raving mad, and completely lost touch with reality.  If I did not take it that way, I would be forced to declare that our world has become irreparably diabolical, devious, and nefarious.  I fight to maintain as much optimism as possible.

Let me walk through a few things that cause me to ask this probing and troubling question.  I hope that I am able to link these together in a manner that resonates and elicits enough disturbance to our sensibilities that we pay attention and become involved.  Unfortunately, the time has passed when we could trust the politics to politicians if there ever was a time like that.

One of the more recent mass shootings has uncovered that the shooter, the evil or deranged individual in Louisville, Kentucky committed the crime to get firearms banned.  That is beyond lunacy.  This individual killed multiple people to motivate lawmakers to ban firearms. 

I cannot fathom how any rational person could think it is justifiable to use the tool they believe should be banned to commit murder.  Yet, the Left is trying to oblige and use this incident as a reason to ban firearms.  The shooter’s manifesto, uncovered by the Daily Mail but suppressed by most of the media and ignored by most politicians, revealed the motive.

Motives are always important in addressing problems.  The 13-page manifesto contains material that suggests the shooter believed guns are too easy to obtain and wanted to draw attention to mental illness.  The shooter’s parents revealed he was on medication to prevent him from killing himself.  He was of sound mind, right?  No!  How can you use the lunacy and illogical thinking of someone who is not thinking right to advance your cause for gun control? 

That individual and his heinous act would justify my question, but what really triggers it is the reaction of the Left, Hollywood, and the Media to give him more sympathy than empathy for the victims and their families.  That is either crazy or reveals the depth of our current depravity in America. 

When we give the 15 minutes of fame sought by these murderers, rioters, looters, and purveyors of mayhem, we encourage like behavior in others.  The Left seems to believe many of those acts are justifiable means to an end.  No!  Damaging other people’s property or themselves is not justifiable except in self-defense.

The Louisville shooter’s act was called a deeply fearless act of compassion!  What world does Dr. K. Kritee live in to make that kind of illogical statement?  The fact that the shooter was a Shambhala Buddhist does not make his act compassionate, loving, or fearless.  What I am told about the beliefs of the followers of his religion is that his actions are anathema to what they believe. 

It was not fearless. It was deranged and cowardly.  If you research, you discover that this incident was somewhat of a copycat of another suicidal climate zealot who doused himself with gasoline and burned to death in 2018 in a park in Brooklyn—the New York Times published an article oozing with admiration for his act.  Seriously? 

We live in a world today where there is a massive push to not only allow but encourage transgenderism and sex changes in children.  Those same people insist that 17-19-year-olds are not mature enough to understand the details of their student loans, but a 7-8-year-olds should be allowed, without parental consent to opt for sex change therapy or surgery.  That is a slap in sanity and God’s face! 

There are estimates that biological males who self-identify as female are replacing women in women’s sports!  A homosexual website proudly proclaimed that “20 trans women have won national or international competitions or championships.”  Whoopie!  They could not compete with the men, so they sought to compete with the women.  That is insulting to women everywhere, insulting to men, and insulting to God. 

A transgender weightlifter competed as a woman in the Olympics.  In a London marathon, a transgendered athlete defeated 14,000 female competitors.  Prisons in various states indicate that over 5,000 men identifying as women are incarcerated in federal prisons.  Have we lost our ever-loving minds?  What is going on?  We have reached the place where some churches and national ministers are endorsing this as normal and natural.  It is neither!  It is an abrogation of God’s creation.  He created two genders and did not make a mistake.

I believe that sports are the tip of the iceberg, and this will extend to every sector of our society.  The loss of masculinity will not be a benefit to families, and the result of the absence of either parent in the home is well documented.  Children need nurture and training to be responsible, socially, and relationally healthy, and learn a work ethic needed.  We saw the assault on two-parent families take a big step during the Johnson administration.  We are reaping the harvest of our bad decisions and tolerance.

We have governmental officials engaging in corrupt endeavors designed to build their financial bottom line and gain power and influence.  Most of those are not only overlooked by the DOJ, FBI, Congress, the Courts, and Media.  Suppressing the evidence and attacking those seeking to expose them is creating a fertile field for more of the same.  No, it is creating a condition where the politically powerful will be above the law and the rest of us their serfs.  Have we lost our ever-loving minds?

Joe and Hunter Biden and the Biden Family, as well as the Bill and Hillary Clinton and Barack and Michelle Obama, to name a few, have been deemed insulated by Section 6103 of the IRS Code.  However, Congress violated the Law in releasing Donald Trump’s Tax Returns.  But that was justifiable in their minds.  Section 6103(f)(4) allows the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and the Finance Committee to designate or appoint an agent to inspect the tax returns and return information.  What does that mean regarding the Bidens? 

The committee, now under Republican control, could appoint the whistleblower’s attorney to inspect the tax material.  That would bring to the fore the information hidden from the public and Congress’s eyes about the dealings of the Bidens and the apparent criminality of Hunter Biden.

Lastly, not the last of what needs to be said, but the last I will state at this time the fallacious claim that all Islam is a Peaceful Religion is another evidence of our modern lunacy.  Just because someone claims to be peaceful, and the desire is to believe them and demonstrate acceptance and tolerance, does not make it so.  Islam’s holy book is replete with demands that they kill, dominate, and subjugate non-followers in any way possible.  Killing the infidel (to them) elevates them in the afterlife. 

Islam has been making inroads into our American government at high levels.  Remember Barak Obama’s statement that sent chills down my spine?  “If the political winds turn sour, I will side with the Muslims.” 

If we let down our guard and ignore danger, it does not mean danger goes away; it means it has free access to achieve its purposes.  That would be like making it illegal to own a firearm, thinking that the criminals would also lay theirs down.  What part of criminal, evil, diabolical, and destructive do they not understand?  You cannot make a non-aggression pact with evil. 

America, if there are any people left who actually think and can see the handwriting on the wall, I pray that you will unite and join those of us praying, working, and seeking to restore sanity to our American government and society. 

God bless you, and God bless America!
