On Thucydides and the unravelling of American Hegemony.

Please share widely: Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s Christian Nationalist Crusade being waged within the Pentagon MUST END. I stand with Rep Jared Huffman, D-CA calling for the DoD IG to investigate, expose and put an end to this religious radicalism.

With The decimation of CISA and other safeguards it seems the Admin will be a party to any election interference. After which it will insist Federal oversight is needed.

A look inside the surveillance state as it relates to DHSs current escapades

Lest the Admin leave any question of who they welcome in their world

I hear Gil Scott Heron “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” and Donald Glover “This Is America” in Carlos Lazaro’s exhortations that “You cannot denaturalize me”.

We Ain’t Buying It People have the power

A good analysis of the legally vacant “determinations” the Prez has been using for many of his adventures

A few years ago I purchased a Christmas ornament thru the White House Historical Association. Yesterday I got their catalog in the mail, found a contact email through a QR code and sent off this missive. It would be nice to know what’s going on with the Peoples House.

Brian Andrews - crash out

You’ve been sitting much to long There’s a permanent crease in your right and wrong … rip Sly

Anti managerialism… okay, new to me but does seem to explain a lot

Taking a walk in the city tomorrow with my son and a few 10s of thousands of like minded folks. Maybe we’ll sing one of Woodys old tunes

Twenty Lessons on Tyranny Timothy Snyder, as read by John Lithgow

To see JD Vance in Greenland was to see the new face of the last gasp of a faded hubristic hegemony.

Oh The Donald, you now just sound like the boy who cried witch hunt, over, and over.

I just watched the entirety of the public portion of the Senate Inel Comm ATA. D’s had many important questions about the Signal app fiasco. R’s, zero. The bottom line on the testimony of Gabbard, Patel and Ratcliffe on the breach was to thrown SecDef Hegseth under the bus. Will Pete now be called?

“…Mr. Trump and his advisers have ushered the country into a new era of post-truth politics, where facts are contested and fictions used to pursue policy goals.”

NYC 4/5, be there, will be wild

“In private, he tossed around numerous prices, topping out at $400 million, according to a Columbia official from that era, a figure that an anonymous source leaked to The Post a few times.” What are the chances the leaker was John Barron, or by then was it John Miller?

This has been my question for weeks now, what is the endgame? If it is, as Sanger and Ignatius say, that the Admin longs for a tri polar world order, it forgets that Russia and China are happy to plan together against us, particularly after the past few weeks.

They don’t need a back door any more, we’ve laid out a Red carpet

Tim Snyder was on Newshour this evening to comment on the Oval debacle and gave his usual cleareyed, crisp analysis. He has an excellent Sub and his first video on that platform is attached where he elaborates on the encounter. Lindsey said “don’t take the bait!”, set up? JD shocked cameras rolling!

This is to the point, but I felt the logo needed to be Xed.

Should House Dems initiate a HUAC to investigate the Prez’ apparent communist sympathies? Ah, what’s old is new again.

Gulf Of Mexico with Administrations new Nine Dash Line

If there is one penny missing from retirees SS he, and his whole damn posse, will need all those new idiotic armored trucks.

This is next level crazy. These children have access to everyone’s personal info thru Treasury. When enough Rs are hurt by these sweeping raids maybe they’ll wake up and do something.

Apple Maps is apparently splitting the difference and using the new nomenclature closer to the coast. So where is the demarc line. Do have our own Nine Dash Line? And whither poor Mexico Beach? Is that now to be America Beach?

Fast Eddie seems to be a fan of 60s British Invasion pop. Why you dragging Peter Noone into this?

In Trumpworld this goes back right to the beginning. Remember when Kellyanne Conway said (paraphrasing) we work with “alternative facts”? Everyone was rightly up in arms, but you can’t say they haven’t been consistent.

From “The Rights of Man” by the great pamphleteer and Revolutionary thinker Thomas Paine Section “Being an Answer to Mr. Burke's Attack on the French Revolution” part 7 of 16

Rick Steves lays out the case for USAID clearly and concisely for any in his audience who may be persuadable.

Call me crazy, but has anyone else made the connection between Israel carpet bombing Gaza for over a year back to the Stone Age and leveling it, and the sudden idea from Drumpf, with Bibi by his side, that all Palestinians must be relocated so that he can develop it? 77 years on, final solution?

Everyone should call their rep and register their extreme concern with the breaches in Treasury and USAID by Musk and his “engineers”. My reps aide said they’ve been flooded with calls.
