Road To Liberty. (A series)
The White House Salute to America 250 Task Force has partnered with Hillsdale College to provide a history series that tells the remarkable story of American Independence.
It will highlight the stories of the crucial characters and events that resulted in a small rag-tag army defeating the mightiest empire in the world and establishing the greatest republic ever to exist.
This is the story of America. This is our shared heritage and our proud destiny that will continue to lead us to unimaginable achievements in the centuries to come.

My bad. Thursday, while recollecting, run ins with snakes, over the years.
I erroneously posted ~20′ snake, a couple doors down and behind our housing unit, Easy Street, Binictican, Subic Bay, Philippines.
Went searching for a picture.
Likely it was this snake.
- This is a 17-foot long, 175-pound reticulated python. Found in the back yard of Binictican Navy Housing at Naval Station Subic Bay in 1986. This snake was cooked and served at JEST (Jungle Environment Survival Training School) to the staff and family members at a division picnic. When it was cut open, there was a wild pig inside, its last meal.
The snake was caught 1981/82. Above “1986” was either another snake caught at essentially the same location. Most unlikely. More likely, 1986 the year the snake was BBQ’d, at a Division gaggle of sorts. I do know the snake was fed baby monkey’s periodically. But, Only when he was hungry.
DW face lit up when I showed her the above picture. She recollected when it was caught a few doors down, from our housing unit. Talk of the neighborhood that day.
Enough reminiscing, correcting the record AND mostly wanted to share, what I figure is a really cool snake story.
Back to reality.

BREAKING: President Trump EVISCERATES Europe for allowing Islamic Sharia courts — they’re going to DESTROY their western culture if it doesn’t stop “In the UK you have a TERRIBLE mayor of London, and Sharia courts! You DON’T want Sharia courts. Sharia courts adjudicating law!” “It’s simple. Immigration and energy. Bring it back, otherwise you’re not gonna bring it back.” The UK must save themselves!

Ponder…
“Civilizations die from suicide, not murder.”
Arnold Toynbee.
Linkage is shattering…
(Image AI. From American Thinker)
ONE guess where this post is going.
Britain, France, Germany, Spain and Canada, increasingly, demonstrate no WILL to preserve their countries, heritage, themselves, along with give up, whatever Freedom’s they once enjoyed.
These days they, Kow Tow to Chinee. They bow, while taking a knee to muzzies.
On the positive side, Canada breaking apart would be outstanding.
- America Wins.
- Canadian provinces breaking away from Ottawa and Quebec, WIN.
- If above happens, likely Alberta, perhaps more provinces, may align with America. More winning in my mind.

Below snatched from American Thinker Stinker (ht Gail)
Is It ‘America Alone’ In The Fight To Save The West From China And Islam?
The signs were obvious two decades ago, and the insightful Mark Steyn—the conservative Canadian author—addressed them then. In numerous books, written in his sharp, convincing style, he warned that America would soon become isolated in its fight against Islamist jihad. Today, that loneliness appears to be fully realized.
His 2006 book America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It, convincingly argued that much of the Western world would not survive the 21st century. Europe, with its declining birthrate, would be the first to go—thanks to white people being “too self-absorbed to breed,” while Muslims worked to change the demographics in their favor.
It also predicted that Europe would be defeated by its obsession with multiculturalism—essentially a surrender to Islam—and its welfare-driven laziness. Only America, dedicated to individual effort, morals, and economic growth, would be able to resist the onslaught of civilizational jihad.
Just five years later, in After America: Get Ready for Armageddon, Steyn lamented that America was also in serious danger of joining the rest of the Western world in an unavoidable decline. He observed that the growth of government, rising debt, the focus on diversity over excellence, and cultural shifts—away from individualism and self-reliance toward state handouts—were hollowing out America.
Fifteen years later, not only is the mood in Europe and the U.S. against America, but our neighbors, Canada and Mexico, too, are hesitant to join us in confronting a three-pronged threat: Islamists, the unchecked Trojan horse tactics of communist China, and the drug and smuggling cartels at our borders. Canada has fallen under the influence of both Islam and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), while powerful criminal cartels aligned with China have a firm grip on Mexico.
Image created using AI.
Europe, as Steyn observed, has become unrecognizable. The influence of so-called liberalism, far from transforming all nations into Sweden and eradicating war, has altered the very character and demographics of the continent. Ask a Jew in Malmo, Steyn writes, if you can find one! The same story is unfolding in Britain.
Commenting in The New York Post, Melanie Phillips states that Britain’s response to the issue of Muslims being smuggled into the country and their involvement in terrorism, espionage, and arms smuggling has been “craven.” Muslims refuse to integrate into British society, and the government has gone out of its way to accommodate them, allowing them 85 sharia courts so far.
Instead of addressing this security crisis, Prime Minister Kier Starmer’s government suppresses criticism of Islam by raising the false idea of Islamophobia. Tommy Robinson, who the previous government jailed for criticizing Islam, mass Muslim immigration, and Muslim rape gangs, still faces danger and is labeled an extreme right-winger. Similarly, in a serious violation of free speech, political candidate Paul Weston was charged in 2014 with a racially aggravated crime for quoting an excerpt critical of Islam from Churchill’s The River War.
For decades, Muslim gangs have been grooming and assaulting underage girls, but Starmer has been hesitant to investigate and prosecute them. He also ignores widespread antisemitism among Muslims. In 2024, a Jewish man was prevented from crossing a street under threat of arrest for being openly Jewish and thereby “antagonizing” pro-Palestine marchers. Britain’s recognition of Palestine following the October 7 massacre by Hamas signals Starmer’s capitulation to Islam.
Starmer’s interactions with China symbolize Britain’s waning influence and capitulation to the CCP. During his trip to Beijing, the prime minister was not met with the usual protocols. CCP leader Xi Jinping gave Starmer a brief, informal meeting and spoke to him as if he were subordinate.
Starmer failed to press Xi on several key issues: human rights, especially the detention of activist Jimmy Lai; cyberattacks on British companies; covert Chinese interference in the UK government; and trade deficits. He approved China’s plan to build a massive embassy near critical fiber-optic cables and sensitive U.S. infrastructure, a move that could threaten intelligence partnerships with the U.S.
To our north, Canada has increased the risk by entering a new “strategic partnership” with China, shifting Canada’s economy away from its long-standing reliance on America. During his visit to Beijing, Prime Minister Mark Carney avoided discussing Jimmy Lai’s incarceration, the execution of seven Canadians in China on drug charges (which is ironic since China is a major exporter of fentanyl precursors to North America), and interference in Canadian elections.
Carney returned with agreements on cooperation against drug trafficking and cybercrime, along with a pledge to increase cultural exchanges. Given how China operates, security experts have no doubts about what ‘cooperation’ and ‘cultural exchanges’ will actually entail. Additionally, it is hard to understand how a liberal government has reconciled with an authoritarian regime.
At the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Carney expressed excitement about recalibrating Canada’s relationship with China: he stated that Canada had aligned itself with the “new world order,” would pursue global governance, and move away from the U.S., its largest trading partner. He urged other countries to do the same.
According to a 2025 report by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP), Muslim Brotherhood organizations have infiltrated Canada’s civil, academic, political, and economic sectors. They promote radical Islamist ideology using federal funding.
The report provides strong evidence that Canada has become a hub for money laundering and a gateway for terrorists entering the U.S. But instead of designating these groups as terrorist organizations, Carney was a guest at a recent Eid celebration hosted by the Brotherhood-linked Muslim Association of Canada.
Unchecked immigration, wokeism, the romance with multiculturalism, and a fragile national identity have allowed not only the Brotherhood but also networks connected to China, Russia, Iran, and Qatar to entrench themselves in Canada. Collectively, they pose a serious security threat to the U.S.
A recent seizure of carfentanil—originally developed to tranquilize elephants—revealed that the U.S. now faces a dangerous flow of synthetic drugs across its southern and northern borders. The drug was being smuggled into the country by a Montreal-based cartel.
China is the primary source of raw materials and equipment for drug production, including fentanyl. Therefore, there is reason to suspect a Chinese connection, similar to Mexico, where Chinese gangs have established themselves on the drug scene. These gangs, it goes without saying, cannot operate without the CCP’s approval.
The Bureau’s report on the carfentanil seizures quotes former DEA chief Derek Maltz: “We are getting crushed with carfentanil, xylazine, etizolam, isotonitazene—all those new psychoactive substances which are coming out of China. So, it’s just another phase of the attack.”
In 2023, there were over 72,000 drug-related deaths, mostly caused by illicit fentanyl brought into the U.S. from Mexico by sophisticated cartels, armed with RPGs and exploding drones, and collaborating with China. Chinese gangs have extensive networks in Mexico’s drug hubs, laundering money through cryptocurrencies and digital payment platforms.
Mexican governments have long collaborated with the cartels, which are viewed as sources of profit and power. However, President Donald Trump has pressured the current Mexican government to combat the cartels. The recent killing of Jalisco cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes—‘El Mencho’—in a joint U.S.-Mexico operation highlights Trump’s dedication to securing the border and stopping trafficking.
If America is to stand alone in the asymmetric war launched by China and the Islamists, we need strong leadership to exert pressure and defend our borders. On a civilizational level, however, we are lost unless the West unites. Steyn opened the first chapter of America Alone with a chilling quote from historian
Arnold Toynbee:
“Civilizations die from suicide, not murder.”
The West should remember that.

Returning to the article’s Title.
Is It ‘America Alone’ In The Fight To Save The West From China And Islam?
Slow Guy figures answer to above, Yes AND No.
- America Alone? Yes.
- Save The “West”? Not America. NFW. The “West” themselves MUST reach down and demonstrate the WILL to Save Themselves. Fend off Chinee and islam. Unlikely from Slow Guy’s vantage.
Further, for my money, and I have not pondered this greatly.
Europe / UK surrendered, when they adopted EU – European Union.
- Surrendered their destiny.
- Surrendered their identity.
- Surrendered their WILL, as unique countries, ways of life, traditions…
- BREXIT was a leap towards saving Britain. Which Britain ultimately fumbled.
Passing thought occured to me awhile ago.
- Was the Utopian belief in the UN, an initial surrender by the Global Community? Dunno.
On the positive side,
LIVING AMERICA FIRST, Has Always Been AND Remains The Answer.
- Donroe Doctine a huge plus. for America AND Western Hemisphere.
Understatement of the day, week, month, year thus far.
We Are Witnessing, An Emerging, True, New World Order.
As for Slow Guy. Donroe Doctine, is tailor made for America, in these times.
