So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall one and all

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:
-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Greene: "I will praise Nancy Pelosi. She had an incredible career for her party. I served under her speakership in my first term in Congress and I'm very impressed at her ability to get things done. I wish we could get things done for our party like Nancy Pelosi was able to deliver for her party."

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

One of my fondest memories is of my mom reading bedtime stories to my brother and me.
We read them all: Aesop, Grimm bros, Hans Christian Andersen, Baum, CS Lewis (Narnia, my fave), and, of course, JRR Tolkien.
We begged her to not stop, many times.
