We are the bonsai people.
It can seem a strange thought, but the idea that has stuck with me.
We have given up so much of ourselves to survive.
We might never be 'what we were meant to be.'
But, that doesn't mean we don't have value or beauty of our own.

A bit more poetry.
Clay
Does not lust for life.
It waits until shaped by other hands.
It passes through fire to shatter or harden.
Then renamed again it waits for fulfillment.
At first it carries expectant anticipation.
Then doubt.
Then bitterness.
Then longing
To return to being

Any U.S. military leader that decides to assist in invading Greenland will be courtmartialed when Trump’s reign of terror is over so they better start thinking about their own futures and their oath to the Constitution. Greenland is a part of Denmark, which is a NATO ally…Article 5 is a real thing.

Venezuela is (at the moment) the test case.
What the US citizens do now will either advance this or slow it.
And Congress has proven useless.

Well, in 2015 when I wrote my essays predicting what a DT administration would mean for this nation... I did not look far enough into foreign policy.
Domestically, I'm batting over .800, but I failed to extend my vision past this nations borders.
Let me be very clear.
