Blaming lost elections and neglected Midwestern water systems on America’s adversaries may be the future justification model for America’s mounting failures.

As America rapidly devolves into a pathetic “shithole,” a description that President Donald Trump—an inept, malignant narcissist—used to denigrate third-world countries, there has been a growing trend to shift blame for America’s rapid decline onto America’s list of bad guys and away from US corporations, a corrupt, out-of-control US government, and a willfully ignorant and complicit American populace allowing it to happen as they stuff their faces and watch from the sidelines.
Minnesota’s Toxic Water Supply

Evidence supporting an Iranian cyberattack on Minnesota’s municipal water system is largely unsubstantiated and currently under investigation by federal authorities. Is this a serious threat from America’s #1 adversary or a convenient finger-pointing off-ramp for the ongoing degradation of Minnesota’s water supply and failed policies of Minnesota’s lawmakers?
Clear Water Action (CWA) is an environmental watchdog group established to “protect our environment, health, economic well-being and community quality of life.”
An article (“Protecting Groundwater in Minnesota”) revealed startling facts not reported by the mainstream media pushing the cyberattack narrative.
Unfortunately, Minnesota is not putting drinking water first. According to the Minnesota Department of Health’s Annual Drinking Water Report, 537 public water supply wells across the state have elevated nitrate levels, and roughly 10 percent of private wells in vulnerable areas already exceed health limits. The cost to treat drinking water for nitrates to make it safe to drink is high — 10 communities in Minnesota will face bills in the thousands of dollars per household. That is not affordable for all Minnesotans. The solution to these problems is to put drinking water first by addressing this problem at the source. Minnesota officials, farmers, and communities must find ways to reduce runoff from farm fields that contain excess amounts of nitrogen, which pollute drinking water with nitrates.
A March 2026 CWA article(“What’s in Our Water Is in Our Brains: A Minnesota Perspective for Brain Awareness Week”) addressed neurotoxins in Minnesota’s ground water:
Older homes across Minnesota remain a major source of exposure due to the high volume of lead service lines. You can enter your address and see if you have a lead service line here: https://maps.umn.edu/LSL/
Children under 6 are especially vulnerable because their brains are still developing.
Mercury, commonly found in contaminated fish and industrial pollution, can impair memory and motor skills. Arsenic, which can contaminate groundwater, has been linked to cognitive decline and developmental delays. According to the Minnesota Department of Health:
- About 40% of new wells in Minnesota have detectable arsenic levels, and
- Roughly 1 in 10 private wells exceed health-based limits.
That means many families—especially in Greater Minnesota—may be exposed through something as basic and essential as drinking water.
What’s Next?
Below is a short list of glaring economic, social, and environmental problems plaguing US taxpayers—unresolvable pain points resulting from a broken capitalist system that, given the current state of affairs, may soon be shuffled off and attributed to everyone under the sun except their rightful owners.
America’s Alarming Homeless Population
From New York to Los Angeles, vast populations of people are braving the elements, living in roadside tent encampments with no running water, a result of a corrupt system that puts profits before people by cutting jobs, wages, and social programs. In 2026 the total number of homeless men, women, and children in the US is roughly 771,000 and growing.
Not including fuel, maintenance, and pilot training, the average cost of one F-35 is about $105 million. A fleet of 10 would run about $1.05 billion, enough money to feed, house, clothe, and provide healthcare for every homeless person in America, if not the world.
Millions Without Access to Affordable Healthcare
In 2026 an estimated 28–31 million people, roughly 8.5–9.5 percent of the population, are living without health coverage. Working-class Americans—the people who actually keep the country running—are going bankrupt trying to pay for an ambulance ride to the emergency room and have been scrambling to cover the costs of lifesaving prescription drugs. What better way to MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN?
Food Insecurity
There are 47.9 million Americans residing in the “greatest country in the world” who live in food-insecure households. This represents 13.7 percent of all US households. Food insecurity has been a factor in America long before Trump took office, but the problem has been exacerbated by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed into law on July 4, 2025, which eliminated the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for approximately 4 million people.
Crumbling Infrastructure
Mucho dinero, poco trabajo.
The US Department of Transportation squandered $1.5 trillion of hard-earned American taxpayer dollars over the past 30-plus years earmarked to build—as we were led to believe—a world-class surface transportation system that has yet to be seen. American roads and highways are crumbling, unsafe, and congested, leaving drivers wondering if they’ll make it from point A to point B in one piece.
America’s $1.37 Trillion National Deficit as of FY 2026
A deficit occurs when a government’s spending exceeds its revenues. The US federal government has spent $1.37 trillion more than it has collected in fiscal year 2026, resulting in a staggering national deficit.
To get an idea how serious this problem is, the US deficit grows by approximately $4,600,000,000 per day—that’s $53,241 every second. Each citizen’s share is $119,257, and each taxpayer owes $285,365. The debt-to-GDP ratio is 140 percent, meaning the national debt exceeds one full year of US economic output. Who on planet earth thinks this is sustainable? Amazingly, the spending spigots in the US Congressional Budget Office remain wide open with no one attempting to fix the broken shutoff valve.
Rampant Gun Violence and Mass Shootings
Mass shootings, generally defined as incidents where three or more people are killed or injured by a firearm, excluding the shooter, have become an alarmingly common occurrence in the United States throughout the last century.
The US had more mass shootings than any other country with horrifying reports of mass killings occurring in schools, supermarkets, churches, parks, and many other places where individuals are living their ordinary lives. The number of casualties has also begun to rise in recent mass shootings in the US and 13 of the deadliest mass shootings have occurred from 2015 onward.
As of June 5, 2026, there have been up to 99 incidents where guns were brandished with intent or fired on K-12 and higher-education campuses. Counting only incidents that resulted in injuries or deaths, the number sits at 26.
While many attribute this to the sale of and easy access to firearms, the root of the problem clearly lies in a lack of social cohesion, a faltering educational system that devalues teachers, irresponsible community leaders, and poor parenting skills. These factors have given way to a growing number of young people addicted to psychotropic drugs having been diagnosed with keen marketing disorders ranging from a chemical imbalance in the brain to Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), a behavior classification first defined in 1980 categorized by a persistent pattern of anger, an irritable mood, argumentative behavior, and defiance toward authority figures. High-risk atypical antipsychotics, prescribed when there are co-occurring mental health conditions, may be misused by doctors pressured and incentivized by hospitals, clinics, and pharmaceutical companies, a troubling fact that most people on prescribed medications are unaware of.
A comprehensive study by The International Center for Global Health Information(ICGI)(“How Are Doctors Incentivized to Prescribe Drugs?”) details “TheComplex Landscape of Pharmaceutical Incentives.”
Doctors are often incentivized to prescribe drugs through a complex web of marketing tactics employed by pharmaceutical companies, including gifts, sponsored research, and direct payments, all designed to influence prescribing habits and increase drug sales.
Drug and Alcohol Addiction
The number of people addicted to alcohol and/or drugs in the United States is nothing short of breathtaking. A 2025 survey published by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) (“Key Substance Use and Mental Health Indicators in the United States: Results from the 2024 National Survey on Drug Use and Health”) reveals that close to one-third of Americans 18 and older are addicted to tobacco, alcohol, and/or some form of prescription or illegal drugs. This population includes people responsible for making decisions that affect the lives and well-being of others: truck drivers, airline pilots, teachers, judges, doctors, law enforcement officers, public health officials, and members of the US Congress.
What I found most disturbing was the number of reported teen suicides:
In 2024, 2.6 million adolescents aged 12 to 17 (10.1 percent) had serious thoughts of suicide in the past year, 1.2 million (4.6 percent) made a suicide plan, and 700,000 (2.7 percent) attempted suicide.
Climate Geoengineering

How many times have you looked up on a beautiful, bright sunny day and witnessed large aircraft crisscrossing the sky above spewing white vapor trails. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) would like us to believe that these are condensation trails (“contrails”) caused by warm jet exhaust coming in contact with the cool atmosphere. Nothing could be further from the truth.
What we are witnessing is not condensation, but sprayed particulate dispersions, toxic substances—everything from mercury to barium—resulting in “global dimming,” a term describing a decrease in the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth due to light-scattering particles building up in the atmosphere. Many of these particles are from industrial pollution, but the majority are from the ongoing Solar Radiation Management (SRM) operation, an insidious collection of large-scale techniques aimed at reducing global warming (a fabricated narrative) by increasing the reflection of sunlight away from Earth.
Simply stated, SRM has nothing to do with saving the planet, but is the systematic poisoning of the earth and all living creatures inhabiting the biosphere.
GeoEngineering Watch, a California-based research group lead by Dane Wigington, has produced an eye-opening documentary covering global dimming and its implications in great detail: “The Dimming: Exposing The Climate Engineering Cover-Up.”
A Sobering Snapshot
We are clearly in the hands of war-mongering lunatics who will stop at nothing to maintain power and control and evade scrutiny and accountability, even if it means destroying the people they are purportedly elected to represent and protect.
The war in the Middle East is proving to be a colossal disaster for the Trump administration and America at large. The United States is currently the second-most hated country in the world next to the genocidal state of Israel. Hundreds of thousands of innocent Palestinian, Iranian, Syrian, and Lebanese lives have already been lost.
The closing of the Strait of Hormuz and the resulting energy/fertilizer shortage is promising to ignite a global famine and an economic collapse in the not-so-distant future. Unbeknownst to most Americans, we are running on the remaining fumes from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR)which is about to be depleted.
What History Tells Us
By 1945, America’s war with Japan had pretty much run its course and was nearing an end. The Japanese had been running out of fuel and their rail system and food sources were rapidly collapsing resulting in widespread famine.
With memories of Pearl Harbor (a planned US psyop designed to secure America’s entry into the war) still fresh in the American psyche, President Truman authorized the unprecedented use of nuclear weapons against Japan. The justification offered at the time was that the use of this new wonder weapon would force Japan’s surrender and avoid a prolonged and bloody invasion of the Japanese mainland and save thousands of American lives. This horrific and immoral attack instantly killed an estimated 200,000 people, creating decades of genetic deformities and irreparable environmental damage from radiation poisoning.
This raises serious concerns.
If the United States used nuclear weapons on Japan, a country that was already on its last breath fighting a war against the world’s number one bully, how likely will a cornered and schizophrenic US government running out of drones and missiles use nuclear weapons against Iran, or any country threatening to dismantle America’s position of power on the world stage?
