This wasn’t supposed to happen. We were promised that once Joe Biden was in the White House that the tremendous anger that was building up in our country would start to subside, but that obviously is not happening.
In fact, as you will see below, Americans have been getting even angrier. Needless to say, the stunt that Joe Biden pulled last week is certainly not helping matters. When he visited Boise on Monday, enormous crowds of extremely angry protesters were waiting for him. And everywhere I go on social media this week, I am seeing huge explosions of anger.
What in the world is our country going to look like if all of this anger continues to grow?
Normally, it is either one side of the political spectrum or the other that is angry at any given time.
But here in September 2021, both sides of the political spectrum are very angry. Just check out these stunning numbers from a brand new CNN poll…
A new CNN poll finds that 74% of U.S. adults now say they are “very or somewhat angry” about the way things are going in the U.S. today — that includes 88% of Republicans, 70% of independents and even 67% of Democrats. But wait, there’s more.
Another 69% of U.S. adults now say that things are going “pretty or very badly” in the country these days — that includes 91% of Republicans, 72% of independents and 49% of Democrats.
Those numbers are crazy. Just a few months ago, there was so much optimism, but now the mood of the nation has completely shifted.
Surprisingly, that same CNN poll asked a question about illegal immigration, and it found that even most Democrats are concerned about “the movement of undocumented immigrants”…
And by the way, illegal immigration is still a concern for many in this nation. The CNN survey also found that 77% of U.S. adults say that it is important that the federal government “stops the movement of undocumented immigrants into the United States.” And the partisan breakdown: 95% of Republicans, 76% of independents and 52% of Democrats agreed.
Ever since Joe Biden entered the White House, giant throngs of people have been surging to our southern border, and this has created an unprecedented immigration crisis.
Incredibly, even though Biden has decided to impose vaccine mandates on millions upon millions of American citizens, even the White House Press Secretary is admitting that there will be no such requirement for the illegal immigrants that are being let into this country.
Members of Congress and their staffs are exempt from Biden’s new requirements as well.
But the rest of us are apparently fair game. Today, my wife walked into a store where the employees were openly talking about how they might soon lose their jobs because of these new mandates. Biden is dragging us into full-blown tyranny, and lots of American citizens are going to lose good jobs because of this.
Another new poll asked Americans if they think that Biden’s tyrannical decrees are constitutional or not, and the results were absolutely overwhelming…
Asked in a new poll by Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group, whether Biden has the constitutional authority to impose that demand, 58.6% said no.
Only 29.7% said yes.
The poll, taken over the weekend of likely general election voters, has a margin of error of 2.96%.
If they get away with this round of mandates, they will undoubtedly try to impose even more.
In fact, Dr. Fauci is openly telling us that he is in favor of mandating vaccines for air travel.
Fauci does not care about you. The next time that you hear the corporate media heaping praise on him, just remember what he and his organization did to a bunch of beagles.
He sees you the same way, and he is going to keep pushing Biden to tighten the screws.
Already, we are seeing officials go door to door in some cities. In Washington D.C., there are times when workers will “go back to a house four or five, six times” until someone finally answers the door…
Patrick Ashley, with D.C. Health, said the city has a significant outreach program going door to door.
“And as a reminder, we knock on doors until we actually get someone to talk to us. And so they’ll go back to a house four or five, six times, if necessary, multiple times of the day,” he said.
That should chill you to the core.
And what came next in that same article is also extremely chilling…
Ashley also said the District is working with Medicare providers to make sure that they’re providing vaccination education.
“But you’re right, it is a choice of theirs to make,” Ashley said. “So we’ll continue to do that education through the —”
Silverman interrupted Ashley to say: “The president is saying it’s not a choice any more.”
The good news is that some red state governors are starting to fight back.
For example, Ron DeSantis just announced huge fines for any government entity in his state that attempts to mandate vaccines…
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday fought back against Joe Biden’s unconstitutional vaccine mandates.
DeSantis announced cities and counties that force employees to get vaccinated will be fined $5,000 per infraction.
“We are here today to make it very clear that we are going to stand for the men and women who are serving. We are going to protect Florida jobs,” DeSantis said during the news conference. “We are not gonna let people be fired because of a vaccine mandate.”
Hopefully more red state governors will step up to the plate, because our politicians in Washington are completely and utterly out of control.
Not satisfied with angering millions of Americans with these new vaccine mandates, Democrats have also decided that now is the time to dramatically raise taxes…
Top earners in New York City could face a combined city, state and federal income tax rate of 61.2%, according to plans being proposed by Democrats in the House of Representatives.
The plans being proposed include a 3% surtax on taxpayers earning more than $5 million a year. The plans also call for raising the top marginal income tax rate to 39.6% from the current 37%.
How would you feel if 61.2 percent of your income went to paying taxes?
Would that make you angry?
Of course it would.
But our politicians in Washington have to find some way to pay for their insane spending sprees. The federal government ran a 3 trillion dollar budget deficit last fiscal year, and with one month to go they are on track to do it again this fiscal year.
Everywhere you turn, there is more bad news. And everywhere you turn, things are starting to spiral out of control. So many of the things that I have been warning about are happening right in front of our eyes, and the months ahead are looking very bleak.
If Americans are this angry while things are still relatively stable, what is the mood of this country going to look like once things really start to fall apart?
As a nation, we are not emotionally equipped to handle any sort of a major societal collapse, but that is where the road that we are on inevitably leads.
These are such troubled times, and I have a feeling that really big surprises are just around the corner.

I think stoking our anger is the point. That way we identify ourselves and they know who to go after.
Wut? And who are the people they’re going to use to go after “us”?
They suffer no shortage of cannon fodder.
Then it seems we are having a definition problem of who is meant by “us.”
– The majority who are angry?
– The large but sub-majority group of unvaxxed?
– The few (<5%) who are independent thinkers capable of critical thought, and are seriously questioning this clown-show?
I was writing under the assumption, coming from the article above, that "us" resp. "our anger" means the first option…

From the previous article “Lies at the Speed of Light”
We have infiltrators fanning flames on every major comment board on the planet, with two or three arguing several sides for division’s sake. We’ve discovered one of the best tools of division is theology.
“These Trumpers are red lining at 500psi and are ready to explode. When one of them cracks, then ten of them will. And then we’ll have smooth sailing for total gun confiscation.
Not a fucking thing will happen to change the status quo. The United States is a nation of obese, lazy, complacent, compliant, subservient, low-educated, mouth-breathing, TV-and-drug-addled fuckwits. As long as the people can play video games, look at their fucking smartphone 100,000 times a day, and stuff garbage food in their mouths, this country will continue the slide into failed nationhood.
Yep…. fricken bread and circuses… As long as the gravy train keeps rolling, the masses will remain in check…
You must be Canadian ?
Guess again.
Chinese?
C’mon, Hugh – tell us how you really feel…
You forgot the ability to send cat pictures to your “friends”.
About 3% of the Colonials took part in any meaningful way in the Revolutionary War. Including a lot of those who at the time were already “old” or fat, or gimpy. Got her done anyway.
Won’t take much more than that, this time. But know this: If we DO go kinetic in CW2 you can rest assured that SOMEONE on one side or the other will think it expedient to crash the electrical grid, at least regionally. Which will cause a cascade failure and drop the ENTIRE grid, for decades. The first year, over half will perish, because nobody believes in storing food, water, fuel, meds, or trade goods. When the power goes out, the carnage will ensue. Those you describe will certainly be highly represented among the newly deceased.
I believe Matt Bracken’s calculation was = Bosnia X Rwanda.
Make it squared and I will agree.
I Went To Americaland And All I Got Was This Stupid Malarkey
Neither Demidiots nor Republipukes will revolt until they have been told they can by Tel Aviv.
I believe it was late last year, or early this year, when I read Martin Armstrong of Armstrong Economics claim his A.I. system (Socrates?) predicted that even Democrats would be “awake to Biden” (or something similar to that) by this fall. Interesting, no?
UnB- Does it matter? There is no savior waiting in the wings in this script. Goes without saying any Dem that voted for President Bozo is a complete idiot, so who cares if the love affair is over with that clown.
What does matter is that we are not pointing the finger in the proper direction. Yammering endless yammers about club appointed politicians is a WASTE of our time.
We are no longer a country of laws but rule by idiot edict.
Not a choice to take a vaccine or decline HA HA HA FUCK YOU !
FORGET ME NOT
Market Crash is coming in Oct…and you don’t have to buy my newsletter or let me sell you gold. Too many permanent bulls on the business channels have grown cautious. They always tell you it’s coming if you listen and they’ve been going hard and fast on “an overdue 10% or more correction”.
I think it will be a 50% correction. It should dump by 95% to even approach true “value”.
During the 1960’s and 70’s there were hundreds of bombings across the fruited plains (Yes, almost entirely Leftists). When I can hear of similar incidents across the rotting fruited plains, I might believe AmeriKows are slightly restless. Keep polishing those curio pieces and door stops.
They don’t are what we believe, think or want. They don’t care if we are angry. They simply don’t care about us at all…..as long as we do what we are told to do. When you OWN the election machinery AND all the legal mechanisms tasked with keeping elections honest you don’t need to worry about polls, opinions or the mood of the electorate. You can do whatever you want. Which is exactly what the commies in power are doing.
No serious person still believes that personal taxes are the source of government spending. Taxes are a means of controlling people and making them feel submissive to the power of the State, but it’s only a small fraction of what is stolen. The great majority of their theft is made through money creation.
Its just not a way of making people feel submissive. The laws behind the taxes can put a person in prison, or make one’s life really miserable with the threats. Ever had bank accounts garnished with no warning? The light company does not care if the government took all your money you were going to pay your bill with.
Don’t pay the very least of taxes the property tax and see what happens.
Yes HF, we all figured that out but it is still quite painful to fork over the $$$, and fork over we do. We are paying these criminals to abuse and kill us, they could just print all that they need.
PS- Got my shipment of seeds in this week, all heirloom.
This nation has a way of pulling back and saving itself at the very last moment.
When faced with the almost certain election of the Clinton SheBeast, it took a chance
with a political novice instead. It could–it must–happen again.
You’re naive.
And you’re oxymoronic.
Thank God for polls!!! Seriously, without this new poll I would have had NO idea that a lot of Americans are angry,
