We have Donald J. Trump as our newest President. We have separate wars and military incursions going on in: Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan (shhhh), Central Africa, Uganda (in pursuit of Boko Haram), in the Sudan (relief work), and all the other typical places where our military has a presence (the EU,
Ukraine, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, and many many other smaller places).
We have pressures from everywhere: internally for jobs and more prosperity; internally from racists, xenophobes, misogynists, and crypto-fascists,white supremacists, anti-gays, homophobes, and others;
externally from Communists, America-haters, Nazis, religious fanatics of many stripes, and those seeking the "end of the world" as well.
And yet America will persist -- and succeed -- and thrive! Because we are trying to perfect ourselves, be better, and lead the world not to some specific place -- but to each country's best place, each individual's choice, every person's dream.
