The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

The entire nation is engaged in a re-enacting an episode of Star Trek called Patterns of Force. Our leaders brain is gone. He called the Japanese Prime Minister, "Mr. Japan".
