Russia threatens to invade Ukraine and China threatens to invade Taiwan. People everywhere will get weapons and fight their tyrants and get support from democracies and NATO. I am predicting that the war will not break out this year, but may break out in 2025 or perhaps 2024 or 2026. Certainly the USA itself will not be in a war footing until then. Well, we'll see.

I'd like to see what happens with the mid terms, but I think there is a good chance the peak in violence occurred January 6th.  Both the protests and the violence peaked then.  If the mid terms should go Republican, I could easily see the protests restart, and the violence could follow.  Still, I see the timing of the DOJ efforts as designed to peak with the mid terms.

We shall indeed see.

Yes, we'll see. Right now, the Republicans are gerrymandering congress so clearly that the House will go Republican no matter how the people vote. It will be very hard to fight gerrymandering through the courts. Sinema and Manchin appear ready to support gerrymandering, vote suppression and vote subversion this weekend. Even if they vote to support the right to vote bills instead, I am not even sure the law will guarantee that independent commissions are instituted nationwide this year, so that the voters choose their representatives instead of vice versa. Then the Supreme Court could strike down these new bills. Meanwhile, the militias are actively planning to bring their guns to threaten or shoot election officials if they don't do their will. Republicans are supporting every attack on democracy now; compromise and principle have disappeared from their minds and hearts. Dr. King's method will not work on Classic Xer's faction of Trump worshippers. They have no conscience at all for the people to appeal to.

There was every reason to conclude that in the green information age that we have risen above violence as the means to decide issues. Now it appears worldwide that this is no longer the case. Despite people power, the power of the people is being trampled.

The only people who are trying to attack/weaken/undermine democracy are Chuck, Nancy and Joe Biden these days. Whether you agree or not, see what I'm seeing or not, does not matter because the damage that they're causing is already being done. I hope they have the trillions that they're going to need to survive this 4T. BTW, I don't worship human beings like those on the Left.
