“Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or household divided against itself will stand.” Jesus Christ, Matthew 12:25 (RSV)

In grade school, I often heard about our country’s “Melting Pot,” a symbol of the blending of diverse ethnicities united by the idea that we are a nation formed by various groups coming together to create a new and distinct culture unlike any other. As a predominantly Christian nation, we welcomed everyone through legal immigration.

We expected everyone to share the same values—freedom, self-reliance, capitalism, and the willingness to learn and speak English. It wasn’t about just living in America or being dependent, expecting freebies. It was about adapting, assimilating into a cohesive group called Americans, and helping power the engine of America. People then were proud of their old country, but foremost, they were now American. It worked well enough to make ‘the states’ the most successful nation on earth.

Since the 1970s, the Global Left has worked together to dismantle the traditional notion of what it means to be an American. They argue that multiculturalism, which allows individuals to retain the values of their home countries without the expectation of forming a unified identity, strengthens our society. It is a lie! After all those years of promoting this agenda, they have succeeded enough to reshape our nation into tribes, constantly at odds with one another.

Mexicans or others from diverse countries illegally coming to America unabashedly fly their flags, deepening the rift. They continue to speak their native language and live in racial ghettos. That is not America.

What we have today is a group, a sizeable minority that is no longer loyal to the United States.

We have Democrat politicians pushing what would have been unthinkable a generation ago…communism. Democrats like John F. Kennedy or Hubert Humphrey would have been appalled. The new Democrats have allegiance only to their party.

The Left’s version of the melting pot is not about unity; it’s about division.

Sharia Law has made inroads into our legal system. Many Muslims feel it supersedes our law. Despite its influence, Sharia law does not serve as the primary legal system in any part of the U.S. Unfortunately, some parts of the country allow Sharia law in certain legal areas, including commercial, family, and estate matters.

Islamic revenge killings have occurred in response to the loss of lives in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Honor killings also occur. One case involved a New Mexico man who killed several men after his daughter married a Shiite Muslim. And the Left insists that all cultures are equal.

Mayor-elect Mamdani has said he will abide by international law in New York City, which calls for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu upon entering.

Now, instead of enemies confronting a unified nation, the Left has gradually weakened us, targeting one group at a time. During the last several Democrat administrations, we saw White people targeted as forever racist and Christian people as noncompliant with the ‘new morality.’

This fragmentation poses significant challenges to social cohesion and national identity, as the focus shifts from collective American values to individual cultural differences. The risk is that as we become more divided, our ability to address common issues and work toward shared goals diminishes, leaving us vulnerable to manipulation and discord.

We are experiencing an abundance of manipulation and discord. This was demonstrated on November 12, 2025, when a typical Biden-era judge ordered the release of 600 illegal alien criminals.

Some cultures do not celebrate freedom, capitalism, or Western civilization. Some cultures even revere toxic masculinity, something our current liberals think they understand but are unaware of its true reality. Are we to celebrate such a disconnect? Are we to say it enriches our culture? Not at all. It only deepens an already existing divide, causing suspicion and doubt. This is a perilous situation for any nation.

Look at our government, our Senate, and our House of Representatives. They often reflect these divisions, with partisan gridlock preventing meaningful dialogue and collaboration. As Democrat representatives prioritize their narratives over the needs of their constituents, the fabric of democracy in our republic frays, making it increasingly difficult to unite around a common vision for the future.

Some Democrats are actually encouraging our troops to disobey their commanders. They are playing a very dangerous game.

Where is the unity? Where are the common goals? We let in people who don’t share our values and refuse to assimilate. The Democrats call to them to join their group, and many are now in Congress. They lament every effort made by Republicans and celebrate no victories.

President Trump has secured commitments for 20 trillion dollars in investment in America, and the Left remains silent. This situation leads the average citizen to feel that nothing functions properly in our government, and perhaps that is the intended outcome.

We are confronting an attack from a globalist, socialist coalition known as the Democrat Party, a tribe that appears to be receiving direction from a more ominous group abroad: the WEF, WHO, UN, and IMF. This coalition seeks to undermine our national sovereignty and promote agendas that threaten our way of life. They are even urging our troops to disobey orders from our president.

It is crucial for patriots to unite and advocate for policies that prioritize American interests and uphold our foundational principles.

The Dems are determined to take control of our country, destroy our freedoms, and divide us into tribes. They use racism and fear to strengthen their tribal system. But we remain vigilant and engaged. As it is, we cannot allow this disloyal Democrat Party to ever take power again.
