wondering where u get news because some of this sounds hokey

No. It's still increasing. Here is an example:

that guy is too happy looking to be holy

wondering where u get news because some of this sounds hokey

It's definitely not from abc, cbs, nbc, fox, cnn, msnbc, etc, etc, etc.

Most of my news is from alternative news sites on youtube, on their own sites, etc.  You should look into the following:
1.  Economic News:
a.  Jim Willie - GoldenJackass.com

2.  Political/Economic:
b.  X22 Report
c.  USA Watchdog

Most all of these have audio news on youtube and/or steemit.com.  Very informative, very alternative, very true.

The major news outlets have been bought, controlled and used for decades.  They feed you what they want you to think.  EVERYTHING THEY SAY, THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE.  For example, they say the economy is good - no, it's not.  We're about to have a major economic crisis, which Trump is trying to minimize by bringing back manufacturing (through raising tariffs) and bringing home corporations (through lowering the tax rate).  Even if that's successful, it's going to be a LONG road back to normalcy; the markets have been manipulated since the 1930s, but especially since the 70s.

2nd example, they say that the US needs to have troops in the Middle East (this is mainly so we can guard the CIA's opium fields, a very lucrative cash crop).  They say we need to partner with Europe to build NATO (this means we need to build more and more bases, and surround Russia so we can start WWIII and usher in global, atheistic, satanic communism, according to Albert Pike's plan).  But the more important topics are those which the media DOESN'T EVEN TALK ABOUT.  Their silence is deafening:

1.  All the high-ranking members of the Republican, Democratic parties are satanists.  All major movie stars are satanists.  All major political individuals, heads of banks, CEOs, CFOs of Fortune 500 companies, Heads of think-tanks, lobbyists, etc, etc - they are all satanists.  Same goes for all of these types of people all over the world.  Satan and his followers have promised these individuals money, power and fame if they do his infernal bidding.  They have sold their souls through Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ or any of the number of other satanic sects.

2.  All of these people are involved in, promote, or condone satanic practices - namely, abortion, cнιℓd тrαffιc-ing, child sɛҳuąƖ slavery, and even cannibalism.  There are plenty of youtube stories of former satanic priests who tell of wiccan satanic ceremonies routinely done inside abortion clinics.  These ceremonies are to honor satan, through the killing of innocent life, similar to the practices of the pagans of old, who sacrificed virgins and children in the Incan and Mayan civilizations in mexico, or the various indian tribes here in the US.  These former priests tell that many politicians would visit these ceremonies, in order to "pray" to satan for the passing of some piece of legislation or legal ruling, etc.  Most of Planned Parenthood is run by witches.

3.  There is the story I just ran across of a lady who, in trying to find a christian church, kept going to all these big 'mega churches' in the TX area (and many that were much smaller), only to realize that, through their christian rock bands, they were casting spells on those in attendance, and inducing many into witchcraft through audio brainwashing.  She was able to realize this because, as a child, she was abused by satanists, so she knows how they operate, spiritually.  There are others in her area that she has talked to who have left this or that church because they witnessed wiccan ceremonies going on (during the 'off hours') and were threatened to keep quiet or leave.

There's a lot more to say, but the above 3 are the main points.  We are fighting a spiritual battle and the war has just begun, spiritually.  Temporally, the devil is in control, but that will not last much longer.  As people start waking up spiritually, the battle will heat up, because until now, most are asleep and the devil and his henchmen don't have to worry about spiritually-lukewarm people.  But soon, I think more people will wake up - either because of a calamity or because of an act of God - and then we shall have to really fight for the spiritual future of our country (as will others around the world).  But Our Lady will have the victory.

maybe the 100 years granted to satan by Our Lord, as seen in a vision by Pope Leo XIII, are at an end?  Most agree that it's logical for such a time period to have started in 1917.

Most of the people I know (over 70 group) believe the 100 years started shortly after the apparition which I think was in 1884 (33 years before Fatima).
The reason we believe this, is that it was shortly thereafter that ELECTRICITY was available to the masses.
The devil only needed 100 years to set his plan in motion and it's been gaining momentum ever since.
Think about it. .....eliminate electricity and see how much sin, destruction and sorrow will be eliminated.
Then see what TRUE benefits it provides for our salvation.  Not many if any.

I think electricity was the devil's biggest success in the last couple thousand years.

And if we lost electricity in this day and age think of the chaos that would ensue.  Look at Venezuela, Puerto Rico, and even NYC during a few hours of an outage.  

A case of what I thought and what I wrote being different.
I wrote.....Think about it. .....eliminate electricity and see how much sin, destruction and sorrow will be eliminated.

I should have wrote....  see how much sin, destruction and sorrow would have been eliminated.

Merely opining how the devil  got us into this mess so quickly (100 years).

I agree. If there were no electricity (or very little of it) then we'd all be too busy having to cook our food, communicate by letters, as well as doing many other things that are time-consuming. We wouldn't have a lot of free time to get into trouble.
On the other hand, the Resistance would not have been sustained without the internet, I think. Though the internet is an occasion of sin for some, of course.

Electricity essentially changed our whole way of life. That and refrigeration.

If I had to list a Top 30 things the devil has used to corrupt society, electricity would be #99.
