Perhaps the worst social change in America over the years has been the gradual acceptance of treachery in our country. Yes, awful people have always been with us: brutal slaveholders, Native American destroyers, narcotics merchants, assassins, we've had them all. If you read Killing the Mob and Killing Crazy Horse, you know that I know what I'm talking about.

The difference today is that ruthless people have cover: the internet. Ask any school kid, and they will tell you stories of betrayal and emotional brutality attached to social media. And the miscreants go largely unpunished.

Ancient Rome is the best example of a society that became so desensitized that thousands flocked to the Coliseum to see innocent people killed by wild animals. The crowds couldn't get enough. Civility became non-existent. A collapse was inevitable.

Those in positions of power in our country are often frightened the treachery machine will turn on them. Thus, politicians and "influencers" stand mute when due process is denied, laws go unenforced, and corruption is carried on in plain sight.

Where are the crusaders for true justice? Do they exist anymore?

Certainly not in the media or in the entertainment industry. Treachery rules there. Money and leftist ideology are the playbook.

It is a grim picture, I know. Only a strong, honest leader could set a different tone. Rome could not find one. We may not either. Those rare individuals are very easy for the treacherous to destroy.

See you beginning at six eastern tonight for the No Spin News.
