Surprised at the lack of news on EO 14219 this morning. Was expecting some rumors at least for a few agencies on the massive deregulation lists.

Tomorrow I guess?

We’ve always been at war with Canada.

Engaging with folks on here a bit today and it has been eye-opening.

It seems almost everyone’s solution to everything now is escalation and expanding every military in every country on earth.

Hope it’s just a bad streak from where I started posting and there are still cooler heads out there.

I think you’ll find that when you really think about it, Europe has always been our key adversary.

Please do try to keep up with the present… and the past.

It’s not a coup unless:

1) Congress impeaches and removes and he refuses to leave

2) A domestic military (or similar) interferes with the branches of government conducting their constitutional duties

And #1 would be a pretty sad and pathetic coup unless a militia backs him after impeachment

(1) It is not true that history is written by oppressors and tyrants. Though many of the evils that afflict us are the work of men deceived by the Evil One, everything is ultimately subject to the judgement of Christ, the just and merciful King. #GospelofToday (Mt 25:31-46).

The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the median voter.

"No person ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and they're not the same person."

Reminded very much of the early days on Twitter - an exciting flood of information. In some ways it's the same river, but the world has changed, and we all have too.
