I have been thinking of technological retreat. Not just helter-skelter, although that would probably work, but in a planned and paced retreat.
Let's start with petroleum use. Let's taper off.

seems safest. Dependable. Rock-hard. As sure as math. Solid answers.
I have noticed that when people are scared, the more they seek established paths.
Alas.
The beaten path is the hunting grounds of the ambush predator.

CREATIONISTS
You are not exactly correct, you have just assumed you know HOW God created everything.
(And how long it took.)

Pretend you see a little video of God (white clothing and white hair and bilateral symmetry) adding just a drop of "Evolution" to his new culture in the petri dish.

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this?

Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids.

She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms.

Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen.

NO KING DAY PARADE IS GREAT SUCCESS!

A "march" is a rather determined/angry parade.

Missoula's "Parade" estimated at between 6,000 and 15,000 participants, depending on the political leanings of the reporting agency. We have settled upon ~10,000.

~10,000 smiling, hopeful people!

Culturally aware comedians -- I am thinking of George Carlin and Mark Twain -- turned into grouchy, embittered ol' duffs in their last years.
And no wonder!
Imagine analyzing our present American society. It is mostly rabid reactionaries and stunned democrats. The only real life is on the streets.

I need a friend that's a flat-Earther. I'm not going to do a lot of scoffing, but I'd love to ask a passel of questions as part of a study of flat-Earthers.

The people who attacked the capital building on January 6 were not treated as traitors,

Senator Mark Kelly is accused of betrayal --> he sponsored a bill, the “End Crypto Corruption Act,” outlawing insider trading by members of the administration.

Roger Stone is calling for Kelly’s execution!

It is important to distinguish between the Jewish people and Zionists.
The Jews are people very much like us, except maybe more studious.
The Zionists are "statists". They care about the state more than they do about people. State gets rich, so do they.

A big boost to hope and inspiration.

Every time the Spirit came to me it took me by surprise. It came up on my blind side.
I thought the Spirit might not come to me anymore because I had grown so much in experience that I had no more blind sides.
Ha!
What I now think --> the Spirit is Awake and that I am asleep, unconscious, or dozing.

Looking forward to the April 5th "Hands Off" rally.
I hope to make a drawing of Wormtongue from Lord of the Rings with Trump's face and a worm coming out of his mouth.
