The headlines these days are all about shortages—whether it's lumber, chicken, or gasoline. Sure, these things are important, but they're not the real problem. What this country is truly missing can’t be measured by market analysts or fixed by restocking shelves. The biggest shortage America faces today is a lack of leadership, courage, and common sense. Without these essential qualities, no amount of material goods will keep our nation from sliding into chaos.
Leadership is the backbone of any successful country, but right now, ours is crumbling. The people in power seem more interested in grandstanding and pushing political agendas than in making decisions that benefit the American people. Whether it’s mishandling international relations or ignoring the crisis at the southern border, our leaders are failing us at every turn. Instead of addressing the real issues, they’re more concerned with pandering to the woke mob and maintaining their grip on power. The result is a country that’s floundering without clear direction or purpose.
Then there’s the glaring absence of courage, especially in the political arena. Politicians are supposed to be our representatives, fighting for the interests of their constituents. Yet, what we see today are careerists who prioritize their own political survival over doing what’s right. They’re scared to stand up against the cultural tides, terrified of being labeled or canceled. This cowardice isn’t just disappointing; it’s dangerous. Without the courage to defend our values and principles, we risk losing the very freedoms that define America.
Common sense, once the bedrock of American life, seems to have disappeared altogether. We live in a time where basic truths are being questioned, and logical thinking is seen as controversial. Ideas that would have been dismissed as absurd just a decade ago are now mainstream. We’re told to ignore biological realities, embrace economic policies that defy basic math, and trust that weakening law enforcement will somehow make us safer. The abandonment of common sense is leading us down a perilous path, where reality is sacrificed on the altar of ideology.
The consequences of these shortages are far-reaching and severe. A nation without strong leadership, courage, and common sense is like a ship without a captain, tossed by every wave and destined for disaster. The problems we face today—from rising crime rates to economic instability—are symptoms of these deeper issues. If we continue on this path, we’re not just risking short-term hardships; we’re jeopardizing the future of our country.
