Clearly, as Thomas Jefferson said:
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be."
This statement suggests, consistent with Russell, freedom and ignorance are incompatible in a civilized society.

You can't make me afraid. Immigrants. They commit crimes 10x less than citizens. I don't fear them.
Drugs? Oh please, you want to tell me it's ok to buy 10 gallons of vodka but not a joint? I don't fear them.
The only thing I truly fear in 2026 are the Evangelical Christians and their faux leader.

I think the Greenland threat is a troll. I think.
But it would sure be nice for some senators and GOP house members to speak up now and make it clear that an attack on a nato ally would lead to removal from office

Remember that time Trump said the U.S. military should use “dangerous” American cities as “training grounds” for troops? What do you think that training was for?
He’s been planning on occupying Venezuela indefinitely.
Venezuela is rich with heavy crude, and oil like that doesn’t extract fast.

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"
