In LA, National Guard Troops are policing protesters.

In 1970, National Guard Troops were sent to Kent State University because students there were peacefully protesting the war in Vietnam. They killed four students and injured nine more. None of the students was armed.

In the best way possible.

If you want to know where this is all headed, read the classic novel by Ray Bradbury, _Fahrenheit 451_. Or watch the adaptation of the same title. I'm partial to the one by Francois Truffaut (1966), but there are others.

Facebook suspended my account for violating community standards. They give me several months to answer questions and give them information about myself to get my account back. Should I trust them?

In case I don't do this, if you are still on FB, please let everyone there know, "I'm not dead yet!"

A president who broke with tradition in 2016 by refusing to release his tax returns, now has a henchman seeking to gain access to everyone's tax returns through the Treasury Department.

Would this be an example of irony?

From _Gut Instincts_, published in 2007:
"Few ads in modern democracies provide information about the issues; most rely on increasing name recognition by means of repetition, on creating negative emotions toward the opponent, or simply one-liners, laughter and the politics of entertainment."
