The Boston Tea Party is often mythologized as chaos. It wasn’t.
It was disciplined, symbolic resistance to taxation without representation—an early assertion that legitimacy flows from consent, not force.

• Personal risk avoided
• Power later consolidated
• Conflict reframed as necessity
This isn’t about ideology. It’s about human behavior—and the cost is always paid by others.

The man who avoided Vietnam with five deferments now flirts with war rhetoric as political theater.
History is unkind to leaders who evade personal risk, then treat conflict as a tool for power retention. The pattern is familiar—and dangerous.

This is escalation, not just rhetoric.
Trump has tightened sanctions on Venezuela’s oil shipping, pressured foreign tankers, and framed the Maduro government as a criminal syndicate.
Today he goes further—using blockade language historically associated with acts of war.

Trump’s post threatening military intervention in Nigeria is more than irresponsible—it’s authoritarian rhetoric in action.
It weaponizes faith, bypasses process, and invokes “holy war” language that could destabilize two continents.

House Republicans are refusing to reconvene because swearing in Adalita Grijalva would give enough votes to release the Epstein files.
Instead, they’ll keep the gov’t closed — leaving 42M without SNAP and federal workers unpaid before Thanksgiving.
How very Christian.
