You stated it eloquently TC, I have been worried about this since well before the last election, I knew that if it was sent to the House, the clown would be reelected, those were the numbers then and they are still today. We came so close, so very close to loosing our country that if you are not very worried about it, seriously worried then you are either not paying attention or are complicit in it. Thanks for putting it together so clearly, you are dead on target.

Bam! Perfect timing for this piece. In Florida, groups have been working on this for months. Thank you, TC. Lynell has already posted link on other Substack column which is taking break today. Replenishment on all fronts. We move forward.

Blessings.

PS T.C. What ever happened to Roland? Always saw him here, on Lucien's letters as of course Heather's?! I had to take a couple weeks hiatus a while back and now I never see him?!

He needed a break from the trolls, not us.

I hope it was a break from the trolls, anyway.

Everything you say, TC, is true and clear, and terrifying. Feels like a punch in the gut. I am reading Alexander Vindman's, "Here, Right Matters", and wonder if we haven't managed to get to "There" where it doesn't. The stories of his family's escape from the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, his grandparents escapes before them - where the heck do we all escape to? And the recent piece by Greg Olear with Lincoln's Bible strongly (and very convincingly) suggesting that tRump has been a confidential informant (CI) for our governnent for decades, ratting on other mafia crooks (his competition?), so he has federal protection, and thus the FBI could not (or would not?) out him on his own criminal mob dealings (with Russia primarily) before the 2016 or the 2020 election. Russia has very successfully invaded our country. Where are our own "well regulated militias" to fight this Soviet Republican Party? God (sure hope there is one), help us all.

Reminds me of Lawrence of Arabia and Feisal Hussein going through the mountains to come up behind the British who were protecting the port of Aqaba, with eyes and artllery facing out to sea-- not imagining what was coming up behind them. Thanks for the sobering "rear-flank" scenario. We need to pay more attention.
