Authored by Michael Snyder via TheMostImportantNews.com,
One thing that you can count on in life is that things are going to change. And these days the pace of change in America is absolutely breathtaking. Our culture is in the process of being radically transformed, and the direction of that change has not altered very much at all no matter which political party has been in power in Washington. Many of the values that are now embraced by a solid majority of the population run directly counter to the values that once dominated our society, but only a small minority of Americans seem alarmed by that fact. It appears to be exceedingly unlikely that there will be any deviating from the path that our nation has chosen, because at this point the American people seem quite satisfied with the dramatic “progress” that is taking place.
So what do you think?
Are we on the right track as a nation?
As you ponder that question, here are 10 examples for you to consider that show how dramatically the U.S. has changed as we approach 2020…
#1 The ACLU has started a campaign to make tampons available in all men’s restrooms across America…
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is calling for men’s restrooms to include tampons in order to prevent discrimination against “every person who menstruates.”
“While free menstrual products are not uniformly provided in women’s restrooms, they are almost never available in men’s restrooms, even for pay,” the group said in a statement Tuesday.
#2 Senseless violence is on the rise all over the country. On Sunday, we witnessed the worst mass shooting in the city of Chicago “since at least 2013”…
Chicago police are questioning a person of interest after 13 people were wounded, four of them critically, during a shooting inside a memorial gathering early Sunday in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side, authorities said.
More people were wounded in the shooting than at any other in the city since at least 2013, when 13 people were shot in Back of the Yards, according to data gathered by the Tribune.
#3 It has been another banner year for homicides in the Baltimore area, and 7 more people were shot outside of a hookah lounge very early on Sunday morning…
After seven people, including three teenagers, were shot outside a downtown hookah lounge early Sunday morning, Baltimore leaders are again looking for answers to stem what police are calling a “brazen” level of violent crime.
Two unidentified men — one armed with a rifle and the other, a handgun — approached a crowd of people standing in line outside the iVilla Hookah Lounge at 225 Park Ave. around 1:45 a.m. and opened fire, striking and wounding seven people, Baltimore police said.
#4 State legislators in California keep talking about how much they love “education”, but once again California has the highest percentage of residents that “have never completed ninth grade”…
California once again ranked No. 1 among the 50 states for the percentage of its residents 25 and older who have never completed ninth grade and 50th for the percentage who have at least graduated from high school, according to new five-year estimates (2014-2018) released Thursday by the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.
#5 Speaking of California, Dr. Marc Siegel says that San Francisco has become a city that is “awash in human waste” because of all the drug addicts that are pooping wherever they feel like doing so…
Fox News medical correspondent Dr. Marc Siegel says San Francisco residents should be worried about the homeless crisis‘ effect on their health after video surfaced of a homeless man defecating in the middle of an aisle at a local grocery store.
“Isn’t it ironic that a city of germaphobes, of exercise-conscious, environmentally conscious [people] … are now in a city that’s awash in human waste, which is spreading hepatitis A outbreaks every year,” Siegel said on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Tuesday. “Big outbreaks of hepatitis A, rats in the streets feeding off of the garbage in sewage, typhus, typhoid fever, rotten bacterial infections and even the plague may be coming.”
#6 In our “if it feels good, do it” society, all of the traditional rules regarding sex, marriage and family have been discarded. This has paved the way for completely new “arrangements” that would have seemed extremely bizarre to past generations of Americans. For example, one polyamorous woman in Florida has decided to raise her coming baby with all four of her “partners”…
Tory Ojeda, 20, from Jacksonville, Florida, met one of her partners Marc, 18, in high school and then started a relationship with Travis, 23, two months later.
Their love story began three years ago and she has since announced her engagement to Travis in July.
She also found love with their long-term mutual friends Ethan, 22, and Christopher, 22. While seven months ago, Tory and Chris found out that they were pregnant with a baby girl.
#7 Last week, the fact that a man was just sentenced “to more than 15 years in prison for burning an LGBTQ flag” made headlines all over the nation…
A man has been sentenced to more than 15 years in prison for burning an LGBTQ flag that was flying at a church in central Iowa.
Adolfo Martinez, 30, of Ames, was sentenced Wednesday to 15 years for the hate crime of arson, as well as a year for the reckless use of explosives or fire, and 30 days for harassment. The sentences are to be served consecutively, Story County court records show.
#8 Meanwhile, illegal immigrants can commit serious crime after serious crime in the state of California and just keep getting released. The following comes from the official White House website…
A citizen of Guatemala and alleged gang member was arrested by SFPD more than 10 times between 2013 and 2017 for charges including rape, domestic battery, second degree robbery, assault, and vehicle theft. On each occasion, ICE requested notification of his release or transfer of the individual to ICE custody. Each time, ICE’s request was declined.
#9 In her brand new Netflix stand-up special, Michelle Wolf told America that getting an abortion made her feel like a “god”…
“You can feel any way you want after an abortion,” Wolf said, before imploring members of the crowd to “get one” and see how they feel afterward.
The comic went on to describe her own emotions after getting a termination. “You know how my abortion made me feel? Very powerful,” she boasted,” according to the Daily Wire. “I walked out of there being like, ‘Move over Morgan Freeman, I am God!”
#10 30 years ago, about two-thirds of the population of the country attended church services at least somewhat regularly. But today, only about one-third of all Americans say that they attend church services regularly…
About one-third of Americans now say they worship weekly and two-thirds say they rarely or never attend a service.
The decline in attendance is real. The northern states are seeing much more decline than southern states.
Of course the examples I have just shared with you are just the tip of the iceberg.
In America today, the suicide rate is at an all-time high, we are fighting the worst drug crisis in our history, according to the CDC more than 110 million Americans have an STD, and we have the highest percentage of children living with a single parent of any nation in the entire world.
I would love to hear someone out there try to make a coherent case that America is actually moving in the right direction, because up to this point I have been completely unable to find anyone that can make the other side of the argument.
And that is because it has become glaringly obvious that we are in the process of committing national suicide.
The change that our country needs is not going to happen in Washington.
What we really need is a fundamental change of direction in our hearts, because it is in our hearts where the real problem is festering.

Lots have changed because of the Left’s agenda and their hatred of All that this Great Nation stands for. From the time that President Trump won in an electoral landslide, standing on the stage with his lovely family, after a long night, Liberal media pounced on Barron. I could tell the young man was exhausted from a long night but as liberals show they are cruel. It has been a disgusting display of how the Liberal left will tear down anyone associated with President Trump. Even a 13 year old, whose only fault was to be the young son of two amazing people, who have shown in these last 3 years, the strength of a marriage, love for their family and this Great Nation. They, in my humble opinion have brought respect back into that White House.
Thank you Donald Trump, Jr. for speaking out about this. I agree 100% that Adult children are responsible for their actions, even if they are connected to coddling Parents. As you and your adult siblings have shown, you learned from any amazing Father and Mother to stand on your own. I know that Barron, once an adult, learning from very loving parents will do so now. But he is a child, an innocent who should be protected, like any loving parent would do for their own.
It is a disgusting, vindictive Liberal elected who have unleashed their Liberal ilk against anyone. But are we shocked? No, when the liberals feel that killing babies for profit should be a norm.
Wishing All of the First Family a Merry Christmas and Happy and Healthy New Year. Thank you for bringing respect into the White House again, but showing the loving and support that Families, who truly uplift one another.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
Very well written. Merry Christmas.
You disagree with those “on the left”, but are totally off the wall when you say they “hate America”. Indeed, ot appears more that you hate America when you disparage all who have a different opinion. While the orange buffoon won a decisive electoral victory, it did not qualify as a landslide. If Barron looked so “exhausted on election night, why didn’t his amazomg parents have him in bed? And how is Melania “amazing”? What has she ever done? Her “Be Best” campaign is a joke. If you want to talk about “strength of their marriage”, and “love of their family”, you must acknowledge the Obamas.
And Frump, Jr. learned from “amazing” parents? Does he even know for sure who his mother is?
If you regard yourself as a journalist, try to show a modicum of impatiality. Otherwise just admot you’re nothing but a Frump sycophant.
lol, you truly are deranged. But you can’t help it as your hate is too deep that it fogs your brain and makes you narrow minded. Regarding myself a journalist? No, I’m an Average American citizen, who KNOWS what’s going on. But to “trigger” you as I just did, hey maybe I can be a journalist and not a “talking empty head” like the liberals want.
Merry Christmas! Looking for a GREAT 2020 where Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness and another 4 more years!
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
https://www.breitbart.com/2020-election/2019/12/24/report-hunter-biden-being-investigated-for-burisma-linked-money-laundering/
Well here you go. I’m acknowledging Obama/Biden team.
“The private investigator claims the younger Biden “established bank and financial accounts with Morgan Stanley” for a “money laundering scheme” involving Burisma Holdings Limited. According to documents filed in court, nearly $6.8 million was transferred from Burisma to the account between March 2014, when the younger Biden joined Burisma’s board of directors, and December 2015.”
Obama was so nice to look the other way. And Joe, what family values.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!

Obviously your personal bias would make you wish to not have Trump as your President… here’s a suggestion…move to Venezuela where he isn’t the president; I’ sure you would be much happier there.
Just as the Left has been infiltrating our educational system for decades to brainwash children into Socialism/Communism; they (especially George Soros) are funding prosecutors who ignore most crimes and are inciting people to act out their violent urges. The endgame is to persuade the country to 1) repeal the Second Amendment and 2) establish a Federal police force to take over from inept locals. At that point a coup will be facilitated by the abolition of the Electoral College.

Amazing, taking a page out of the Hilary/Bill Clinton’s “we were dirt poor” when we left the White House. Is this like the Clinton Foundation?
“The documents list her as having worked for Hunter and his company Owasco PC.” The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette says Roberts’ filing claims she received pay stubs from the business, apparently a law firm, but no tax documents. Roberts further claims that Biden at one time paid for her health insurance through this arrangement.
According to the Post, “That company is registered at the same Hollywood Hills address that court papers list as Hunter’s address.”
Wow, nice company there Hunter. So they supplied a stripper for you? Is that like “therapy”? lol
Sick family values.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
I despise everything these sick and demented Democrats represent!! THEY are a bane to this country’s very existence!! They are legends only in their own minds and they will get NOTHING from my but my utter contempt!! Everything they have done or said points to their total hatred and disregard for this country AND its citizens…. I wouldn’t give them air if they were trapped in a jug!!!

Hey AOC, put me on the list with President Trump. I think your crazy as well. lol
“He’s racist, he’s anti-immigrant, but more than just that — his administration is corrupt. I think he’s afraid of women – of strong women, of Latina women. The values of the president are very backward.”
Afraid of strong women? Have you looked who he married? Or you just hate right away? Now THERE is a strong women. Afraid of Latina women? Have you seen the unemployment rate for Hispanics? I would think there are Hispanic women in that percentage.
Your values are backwards. But then again, what does a 30 year old bartender know about anything other than HERSELF. Don’t like it here, there are many socialist countries you can go to. But you and your ilk are NOT changing us to the ME, ME, ME state that you so love. Work for it on your own. President Trump opened up plenty of opportunities.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!

Hey AOC, don’t know how you were educated, maybe you got good grades because you are cute, or mommy and daddy paid for them, but this is what a GREAT economy looks like.
Thank you President Trump. Also thank you for calling our Military, as you are the first Commander-in-Chief to have their backs. We the People appreciate them as well as their families who sacrifice as well.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
The Wolf creature says it makes her feel “like a god”. Well that is the way that Eve, Genesis 3, is said to have felt after Satan’s temptation and the eating from the Tree of Knowledge. The apt lesson here is that the punishment fit the crime, the loss of paradise. So many women that, for whatever reason, have an abortion and afterward have destroyed lives, the ‘apt punishment’ for trying to behave as God. Putting a Public Face on crime is what Wolf and the Bidens are doing, father and son, and Jill claims that DJT is “afraid” of Plagerjoe. Oh, yeah, she really says that.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/12/23/angel-mom-mendoza-to-jill-biden-meet-me-at-the-cemetery-to-see-heartbreak/
To all Angel Moms and Dads, you are always in my prayers. Know how it feels to lose a child to cancer, but it’s even worse when you lose your child to violence and then can not have justice. While liberal democrats and sanctuary states hide them from justice. What a true slap in the face by Mrs. Biden and every illegal alien lover.
“It’s heartbreaking,” Jill Biden said of visiting the camp. “It’s really heartbreaking. Across the river is the flag of the United States. The flag of the United States offers people hope. They’re bringing their families and their loved ones here for hope of a better future and a better life for themselves.”
You are truly a sick person. But then again, look at Hunter. No moral values.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!

https://www.breitbart.com/2020-election/2019/12/24/michael-bloombergs-campaign-used-prison-labor-to-make-calls/
Gee, how convenient for Bloomberg. Having prisoners make phone calls. And from a New Jersey messaging service. Wow, so a prisoner who talks to someone can then tell his friends on the outside who actually lives there. Wonder if they are MS-13 gang members? Do they take information on donations as well? Perfect, another way that your identity can be stolen.
Way to go Bloomberg. Couldn’t you have paid someone who hasn’t been arrested and in jail to make your calls. But silly me, you and your Democratic ilk want them to vote as well. No consequences to their actions.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
What a surprise that everything bad in the USA… violence, poverty, injustice, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, Islamaphobia, economic inequality, etc…are the result of GOP policies worsened by the Criminal-in-Chief Trump. His removal from office and eventual prison sentence can’t come soon enough to save the USA.
You are pathetic and probably not a legal citizen. If you are you are probably a repulsive democrat.
the Democrats are making fools out of American people, a lot of used less Brains in those who vote Democrat.
