Nobody rants in alliterative phrases like you do, Fitz! Thank you for every one of the points you’ve made, all of which I whole-heartedly agree with. We are seeing one of the greatest and most dangerous political transformations the world has ever witnessed, with millions of people wandering the earth looking for a place to be while would-be leaders behave like ostriches whose heads are firmly planted not in the ground but up their asses.

Fitz for Pres! So true, so frightening, so real. We are re-living a terrible time in history. Forgot one item, defund and eliminate US public education so the populace will remain dumb and numb and more open to control.

'Tis indeed ironic that the Republican Party, a party that routinely accuses Democrats of being socialists and even communists, is standing with the authoritarian Putin in his war on Ukraine.

"We the People are onthe cusp of being "Nolonger We the People."

I hope that we will join together, again as a nation and avoid repeting the fate I see rapidly approaching us.

Step one; Remember the past .

Step two; Recoginize the failings that led to those events.

Appeasement and "never again" led to WW11.

Step three; Be very careful who you vote for and VOTE!

NOWHERE in the Constiution or Bill of Rights is an elected official granted the power to be

a Dictator for even a minute!

Perfect! I am old and fought for human rights and democracy as a younger person, and I have lost my optimism for the future of our country. The American Taliban must be defeated at the ballot box and in the media and in the streets and in the communities where they thrive or we have no hope at all.

Watch Hopi Prophecy: Koyaanisqatsi Myth of World Destruction. According to Hopi Dictionary: Hopìikwa Lavàytutuveni, the Hopi word koyaanisqatsi (Hopi pronunciation: [kojɑːnisˈqɑtsi]) is defined as "life of moral corruption and turmoil" or "life out of balance" That's where we are today. Sorry. But Happy Holidays, anyway.

Spot on! The pseudo-Christian, right wing nationalists are terrifying with their desires for a theocracy. Guess they forgot their old WWJD slogan. One can only guess what Jesus would do right now, but I’m pretty sure supporting Putin would not be on the agenda.

Tell us what you really think, Mr. Fitz! I agree with every sentence you've written. I just cannot fathom how these formerly staunch anti-communists have turned into sycophants of Putin. What the hell? And yet they continue to be anti-China. What message do they think they will send China if we abandon Ukraine? And continuing to demonize abortion and the women who need one thinking their pro-life/anti-woman will gain them votes. My blood is boiling, so I need to stop, but thank you so much for putting this into words!

So we'll put. This is a very scary time. It is vital to our democracy that Trump never gets near the White House again.
