The occupation makes us all less safe in DC and across the country. It’s destroying lives, ripping families apart, and increasing violence.
The Mayor’s choice to praise it is a massive betrayal, especially as neighbors desperately try to protect each other in the absence of government support.

Shuler: Thirteen billionaires in one picture—four of whom now run agencies of our federal government. If you’ve ever met someone who says the word “oligarchy” is too confusing or too complicated, well, you can explain it with that one photo.

Remember, Tolkien didn't start working on "The Hobbit" until he was 41 years old. It started as tales for his children that took over 4 years to complete, and he finally published it at the age of 45.
It is never too late to start working on something that truly calls to you.

There will be nothing surprising, or shocking, to be learned when all those books come out on the convicted felon when he is gone. All those 'insiders', who didn't have the guts to reveal damaging information in real time, won't get one cent from me.

I sincerely think we have to accept the fact that the midterms are not going to be clean, fair and safe. This administration cannot lose and they are desperate. If they figured out how to hack the machines via a cable in 2024, they will do it again. We need to stop it, by exposing it.
