Have you ever wondered why we just keep getting hit by one thing after another? I grew up during a time when it seemed like America was endlessly blessed, but now everything around us seems the opposite of blessed. Our economy is imploding, inflation is out of control, the housing market is starting to crash, our weather patterns have gone completely nuts, the western half of the nation is enduring the worst drought in 1,200 years, we are dealing with three major pandemics simultaneously, we are losing our proxy war with Russia in Ukraine and it looks like war with China is just around the corner, and on top of everything else our political system is failing because liberals and conservatives deeply, deeply hate one another. And if you think that there is hope on the horizon, you are going to be severely disappointed. The current crop of politicians in Washington is the worst that we have had in our entire history, and all of the “solutions” they give us just seem to make matters even worse.
This weekend, I came across a very intriguing article in the Jerusalem Post entitled “Is God punishing the United States of America?”
It was authored by a prominent businessman named Sherwin Pomerantz, and it really got me thinking.
Could it be possible that there is a common thread that connects all of the bad things that are constantly happening to us?
In his article, one of the points that Pomerantz makes is that America’s political system is coming apart at the seams right in front of our eyes…
Politically, whether people want to admit it or not, the country is in the midst of a civil war, though for the moment, not one where both sides have taken up arms, one against the other (although that, too, could eventuate).
Sadly, he is right on target.
There is so much politically-motivated hatred in our country today. Liberals deeply hate conservatives and conservatives deeply hate liberals. It would seem that it is only a matter of time before the entire system shatters.
On another note, Pomerantz believes that it is no coincidence that our weather patterns have gone totally haywire and that our nation is being constantly hit by natural disaster after natural disaster…
Then there is the weather. On average, the US experiences fewer than 1,500 tornadoes a year. Through June, there have already been 940 reported tornadoes there, which means the country is on track to see 2,000 or more, a 33% increase year-on-year.
The nightly news out of the US for the past few months shows tens of millions of people under extreme weather risk every day, often in three different areas of the country simultaneously (upper Midwest, East coast and the Southeast region). In the west, a long period of drought has been drying up reservoirs and spawning massive forest fires. National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) statistics show that as of July 5, 34,478 fires have already burned 4,582,301 acres. This is above the 10-year average of 27,346 fires, and twice the average of 2,026,917 acres burned. The odd thing is that very little of this occurs just north of the US in Canada, or just south in Mexico. It all seems to be centered in the US.
I did find it odd that Pomerantz only briefly mentioned the drought, because it is actually a really big deal.
At this moment, the western half of the nation is in the midst of the worst multi-year megadrought that the region has experienced in 1,200 years, and this is having an absolutely devastating impact on agricultural production.

For example, we are now being warned that a very serious shortage of tomatoes could soon be coming…
As endless supply chain-related food shortages force people to adjust their grocery lists, another essential ingredient is becoming scarce. Along with avocados, cream cheese, chickpeas, and olive oil, the supply of tomatoes has started to dwindle. But this time it’s California’s catastrophic drought conditions denying farmers the water needed to grow the versatile vegetable that’s to blame. Due to the shortage, the price of byproducts like ketchup, salsa, and spaghetti sauce has started to surge.
Speaking about the tomato shortage, Head of the California Tomato Growers Association Mike Montana said the golden state desperately needs rain. “We are getting to a point where we don’t have inventory left to keep fulfilling the market demand,” he told Bloomberg News. California, which grows a quarter of the world’s tomatoes, is in the middle of a historic drought that has stoked massive wildfires while drying up reservoirs. It has also become a major threat to the agriculture industry.
When I was growing up, I never once imagined that there could ever be a shortage of tomatoes in this country.
But things have changed, and life in the U.S. will never again be like it was when I was a little boy.
Although to be honest I am having flashbacks to the 1970s with all of the inflation we are witnessing right now.
In fact, if the inflation rate was still calculated the way that it was back in 1980, it would be higher than anything that we experienced during the Jimmy Carter era.
Over the past couple of years, our politicians in Washington have gone on the most dramatic borrowing and spending binge in human history, and the “experts” at the Federal Reserve pumped trillions of fresh dollars into the financial system.
Of course that was going to cause inflation, and now we have a colossal mess on our hands.
I really like how Steve Bannon recently summed up what we are now facing…
Every time you get a paycheck you’re falling behind because of inflation. Your real wages, sixteen months in a row (now let me think, how long has the Biden Administration been around here – about 18 months). Every month since they’ve been here real wages are down.
Ok so you’re losing, your treadmill, you’re losing every day in your wages and now the little bit of equity you have in the world, the little bit of net worth you’ve got in the world, the bottom’s fallen out on that.
Ok. You are screwed. Let me be blunt. Let me do some Harvard Business School math for you – You’re screwed.
The Federal Reserve is recklessly hiking interest rates in a desperate attempt to battle inflation, but everyone knew that this would inevitably cause a housing crash.
And as I pointed out last week, a housing crash has already begun.
This July, new home sales were about 30 percent lower than they were last July…
The plunge in home sales is just stunning. Sales of new single-family houses collapsed by 12.6% in July from the already beaten-down levels in June, and by nearly 30% from July last year, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 511,000 houses, the lowest since January 2016, and well below the lockdown lows, according to data from the Census Bureau today.
Sadly, this is just the beginning.
If the Fed keeps raising rates, things will get far worse.
Meanwhile, we find ourselves battling three major pandemics all at once.
Despite everything that our health authorities have done, COVID is still with us and will be with us for many years to come.
If that wasn’t bad enough, a bird flu pandemic has erupted this year which has resulted in tens of millions of our chickens and turkeys being wiped out.

On top of that, a new monkeypox outbreak continues to spread at an exponential rate all over the planet.
Is it just some sort of a bizarre coincidence that we are now facing three major pestilences simultaneously?
Of course this article would not be complete unless I talked about the war.
We are now deeply involved in a proxy war with Russia in Ukraine, and it is not going very well.
And if both sides continue to escalate matters, we could eventually find ourselves in a nuclear conflict with Russia which would have the potential to ultimately kill billions of people.
In addition, the warmongers in the Biden administration have also brought us to the brink of a war with China. More U.S. politicians keep flying over to Taiwan, and at some point the Chinese are going to decide that they simply cannot take any more provocations.
Also, it is just a matter of time before Iran and Israel go to war. And once that happens, the U.S. will inevitably decide to intervene.
In this article, I have covered war, plagues, economic collapse and natural disasters among other things.
Could it be possible that all of these things are happening at this specific moment in human history for a reason?
And could it be possible that we were warned in advance that all of these things would be coming?
My hope is that this article will get people thinking.
All of human history has been building up to a grand crescendo, and we get to be here for it.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of the population has no idea what is ahead, and so most of them are going to be absolutely blind-sided by the cataclysmic events that are rapidly coming our way.

Covid variant BA.5 is spreading. It appears milder but much more contagious and evades natural immunity. Best to boost your immune system with new Z-Dtox and Z-Stack nutraceuticals from our dear friend, the late Dr. Vladimir Zelenko.
COVID is still with us and will be with us for many years to come.
what’s it look like under a microscope.. Show me.. Show me its real..
THE ANTICHRIST.
It’s communism around the world.
WHY does the media continue to skirt around this, all media. Is it for the sake of having news to write about ?
What should be written is articles on communism. Let me realize and wake up to what is happening around them.
What the world is not bothering to recognize is that humanity is being Emotionally Terraformed for a purpose and it has nothing to do with our well being. Think for a moment, who has the technology or mental capacity to do this to us.
If you are religious person, you might think that Satan is afoot, but me being an Atheist allows me to be more subjective and circumspect in my thinking. There is a reason this UFO reveal is coming to the fore at this time. It is the visitors who are manipulating us because they want our resources, which may also include humans.
Think for a moment, how could a whole society can go nuts all at the same time that they would allow themselves to be starved out of existence, and basically given the title of “Slaves of the State”.
Whoever is Terraforming us also has our political system in its grasp…. If you think it is Satan, thats fine, but we must find a way to stop this manipulation regardless of what technologically advanced species is moving in upon us. WAKE UP AMERICA, OUR TIME IS AT HAND AND WE MUST HAVE THE RESOLVE TO STAND OUR GROUND.
Warned in advance?? Sure were. I warned my son NOT to go into the military in the last year of Trump, because Biden was going to steal the election, and we would end up at war with Russia over some gay rights BS. Then came Austin, who proudly proclaimed that the US military number one priority was to focus on gay rights, and here we are poking Russia daily…
I have no doubt that the judgement of Almighty God is upon the USA in all of this. He has withdrawn His hand of protection and is allowing our enemies both foreign and domestic to beat the crap out of us. BTW, the Fed has no choice but to raise interest rates. Otherwise we will be dealing with hyperinflation rather than strong inflation.
Religion or not, you’re assessment is spot. Like most people, I believe in extraterrestrial intelligence. I’m in my 70’s now and I’ve had 2 very profound UFO experiences in my life. However, I believe that there is a multitude of evidence proving that we’re being manipulated and terraformed by globalists.
I also believe that there’s going to be a UFO “scare”, reveal, or some other false (or possibly real) flag that will be thoroughly exploited by the powers that be. If there really are extraterrestrials among us, they have to believe that in spite of our rapidly advancing technology we are the stupidest species in the galaxy.
The answer to the headline is Democrats.
No, it’s evil that is working harder. And winning right now.
It is all progressing according to plan of the evil left. Depopulationists, globalists and marxists are hard at work. With Biden cutting energy production causing fuel prices to rise along with the destruction of so many food facilities one can see this is all planned.
Read Romans 1 and then read Romans 2:1. They’re called promises. There’s three of them in Romans 1:18-32. All three don’t have a happy ending and that’s why most Christians, especially American Christians ignore them because like Romans 2:1 says, they all apply to Christians. Christians refuse to believe that you can be a Christian and do the things in Romans 1:18-32. God disagrees in Romans 2:1 and then in the rest of chapter 2 provides the solution which is also ignored.
It’s pretty simple. We threw God out of the workplace, schools, and demonized anyone who objected. Is it any wonder that God said, “OK, you are now on your own?”
“Why Are so Many Bad Things Happening to America in 2022?”……………………….
answer: democrats….
Aliens do not need our resources. That’s ridiculous. Resources are spread across the galaxy and farther. Preaching about God does little good to an atheist so there’s no point in that, so I wont.
Just accept what’s coming then. It’s as simple as this: corruption is as rampant in the civil sector as it is in government and people KNEW this before hand when they voted, or supported the corrupt vote. Now they get to reap what they have sown.
Actions have consequences. This could have been avoided, and it could have been stopped. Those aren’t the choices that were made, so, enjoy.
This is a bad article. Really bad. I agree with the overall theme that we may be heading for a civil war. However, the reasons this author uses to support his view are all leftist narratives. He acts as if these “crises” and “disasters” he lists are actually real crises rather than manufactured events by the left.
For instance, weather/natural disasters? What? He sounds like a climate change alarmist. His big reason is there were slightly more tornadoes in first half of this year. So? He develops a trend based off 6 months? Plus, he only cherry picks tornadoes. Why doesn’t he mention hurricanes, or the lack of. Not one hurricane this year! Fires? Again, that’s another manufactured issue thanks to leftist environmental policies.
Then he goes on to talk about 3 pandemics. What? Again, playing into the leftist narrative instead viewing all of these s manufactured scams. Covid was manufactured in a lab, and that said, in reality, it wasn’t a pandemic. It was nothing more than a flu for 99.8% people under 75 that weren’t morbidly obese with 3 other major illnesses. It affected sick, grossly fat, people that have lived passed the age of life expectancy. MonkeyPox? Are you serious? We know how that is passed. Even so, has there been even one person who died in the USA? Maybe 10 worldwide?
Stop giving credence to leftist manufactured crisis.
If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
I generally agree, but humans are not capable of throwing God out of anywhere. He laughs when they try.
I’m guessing your first question is rhetorical, and you already know this answer. The Media has been choked full of communists for several decades (the Federal government also). They now have such a grip on power that they no longer feel a need to hide it.
Why? The Reason is Simple. Because the Thief and Chief Joe Biden is occupying the White House. That’s Why? Any more questions?
Only one bad thing has happened to America — the highly financed and coordinated theft of our 2020 Presidential election. Our country will not survive unless We the People right this wrong.
Agree! In the words of Rush Limbaugh, “The Democrat party needs to be pulverized into the dirt.” The last few years have shown us how destructive they are.
Civil war; Don’t want it, hope we can vote our way out of this crap but if not I’m ready.
Wow you 100% correct.
Right on!
This man has not over stated our problem at all. If you think he has you don’t know what’s going on. Thank You Rumplestiltskin
That’s the way the dems and global elites want it.
Many seem to be miss informed. Please do not believe the main stream media. Do not believe anything coming from the white house. Covid 4th shots; please do not. The lock
down and covid shots have killed more people than covid. I think I had it. My son-in-law
had it. He’s 50 I’m 75. It was not a big deal. All our shortages fuel, food, electricity are all being created by the Dems and the WEF. In California (the wacko state) all our problems have been created by the Dems. Homeless, drugs, forest fires, taxes, ect. Immigration our is an invasion. Totally the Dems are at fault. Last thought, Covid shots for your child. Please please don’t!
We are here because we allowed Low Life Scum Sucking LIBERALS to take over our entire Government.
With any good Luck at all that will change in Nov then button it up in 2024
