I've just watched "The American Revolution", and I'm re-watching The Civil War, both films by Ken Burns.
I am stuck by the fact that we may lose it all.
I weep for America.

Truth:
So if a woman is being firm, forceful and direct - she’s having fit and being hysterical. She’s being a b*****.
If a man does this he’s being strong and a leader.
I get it.
Weak men are threatened by strong women.
Real men do not fear or denigrate strong women.

This Administration seems nothing wrong with Fraud, Bribes, Insurrection or Drug Smuggling. How do I know this? Look no further than who has been pardoned.

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.”
They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.
