Easily worth 33 minutes of your time. A useful, powerful summary of our moment in time as a nation, as a people. And living proof that not all octogenarians have lost their faculties, but might actually be more lucid, more coherent than most. www.youtube.com/live/iSqJIci...

FYI, paranoia means unwarranted, illogical, irrational fear. Given Trump's history since coming down the escalator in 2015, it is totally rational to prepare for overt attempts at election interference by this Admin up to and including invoking the Insurrection Act. www.npr.org/2026/01/20/n...

About 10 years ago an old friend told me of "Beau of the Fifth Column" on YouTube. I became a regular follower. "Beau" has handed of the daily commentary series to "Belle" in "Belle of the Ranch" whom I now follow. Here's a powerful, thoughtful comment on an EU Military. \ youtu.be/Wi-k7disQSc?...
