@petebouchard.bsky.social Hey Pete, I dropped X recently, but this board is pretty dead, so probably will be reactivating my account soon. Very little weather action here!🥱

There was a time in our country where we feared the "enemy over there." During the Cold War of the 1950s and 60s, it was the Soviet Union and Red China. We never feared about our government turning on its citizens. How sadly were we mistaken. Kennedy and Khruschev during Cuban Missile Crisis.

www.cnn.com/us/live-news... Is America headed for another Civil War, 2026 style? Would not be surprised.

Those of us of a certain age will remember singing this in elementary school. I remember it well in the early to mid 1960s: "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" Sadly, we are NOT that country anymore. Perhaps we will someday, but face it, folks, we are not the "land of the free and home of the brave."

As a citizen of our new Autocracy, and in view of what ICE is doing---illegally, we will not be flying our country's again...until this president and his cabinet are gone. This country is an absolute joke to educated people in this country and around the world.

America is an absolute disgrace and stain on the world now. Our government is an absolute embarrassment to the world. My wife and me refuse to fly the US flag until this despicable president is out, as well as his entire cabinet.

In my opinion, this country is no longer the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. Although the media isn't going to blatantly state that, let's face it, we are an Autocracy now. Trump and his Cabinet have effectively brought us here. Perhaps the midterm elections will get our Republic back.

This iconic photo appeared on the front page of many newspapers in the country on May 4, 1970. It was the Kent State shooting by Campus Police on young people simply protesting the Vietnam War. I was in high schoo. Americans all over our country were outraged! History repeated itself on 1/7/26.

Never forget!! Five years ago today, during the middle of COVID, our Capitol was attacked. The attacked was orchestrated and directed by this president. Sadly, 77 million Americans remained unmoved by what happened, and voted this president back into office. This should have been the deal breaker.

Trump's latest plan for eliminating even more jobs in this country. This is because he is a rich oil man. He's doing a great job bringing this country back to the Nineteenth Century. www.npr.org/2025/12/22/g...
