"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair…

Democrats have an opportunity to shift the perceived battle from left vs right to oligarchy vs middle America.
As the saying goes, all wars are economic. The oligarchy fuels social discord to misdirect our dissatisfaction.

Billionaires are bowing down.
Media figures are bending a knee.
Public figures want to accommodate.
It is up to us to form a new opposition.
We will not back down. We must not obey.

What is preventing World War III? Ukrainians are containing the ongoing war in Europe to their own country; they are deterring war in the Pacific; and they are preventing spread of nuclear weapons. These scenarios have not played out because Ukrainians take risks

1. Jared Kushner is involved in one of the most brazen and corrupt influence-peddling schemes in history.
He calls it a private equity fund.
