The full import of Hegseth and Trump comments to US military flag rank sinking in.
From FBI to armed forces and IC, the Trump white nationalist regime is determined to use US Power Ministries against the non-Christian nationalists.

But if Trump crosses the line, if he dares to use military force against Americans, Chicagoans -- remember Lexington and Concord.
And BRING IT!

Truman fired MacArthur for pushing nukes. Eisenhower used prospect to bring NK/China/SU to talks. His record makes clear, acted w/ restraint: E. German 1953 uprising, Hungary, Suez.
Nixon wanted to copy. Lacking bona fides he imagined"crazy man" optics.

Nietzsche wrongly asserts Kant shackled life with cold universal laws, worshiping reason over instinct. For Nietzsche, morality denies vitality, crushes human passion for abstract duty. His claim the ‘categorical imperative’ is life-denying fiction - just the lament of the undisciplined.

Trump reportedly walking back his EO making flag burning a criminal offense. Directing Bondi to study how it can be done.

For TARP the USG took massive equity positions in JP Morgan, Goldman, Citicorp and 100s of banks. USG owned 60% of GM, etc. All repaid; USG actually made a profit.
CHIPS Act explicitly ≠ TARP. Congress did not intend post-facto equity seizures for program. Esp. after threatening Intel CEO.
