Wouldn't it be ironic if, 80 years after the U.S. invaded Europe to cleanse the scourge of Nazism, NATO had to come to the aid of the U.S. to rid the world of Trump's brand of Fascism?

I remember when newly-inaugurated president Gerald Ford announced that "our long national nightmare is over" after Nixon resigned. Now, we're having an entirely new nightmare, and this one looks a lot worse.

SO, either Trump or Hegseth invites Musk to visit the Pentagon for a meeting, one that may have included the Op Plan for war with China. Musk is the most prominent American in China, with connections there.

The only real bulwark against complete authoritarian rule is not in a divided Congress. It's us and our votes! We have a long way to go before November 2026 elections, but now is the time for us to work very, very hard to protect the election mechanism from being dismantled.

Just a personal story... Two years ago I rode my motorcycle up a road called Moki Dugway in SE Utah near Mexican Hat. As you see in the photo, I went off the side into a ditch about 2 feet deep in pea gravel and got stuck. I got out because a Navajo cop with BLM stopped and helped me. DON'T CUT BLM!
