Read somewhere today, perhaps American Thinker, that getting the U.S. into a shooting war is not off of the table when it comes to Brandon and his fellow travelers holding onto power; the thought process being the country would unite in time of war behind Brandon as with Bush II after 9-11.

I'm not buying it, but it does bring another variable to the table. Desperate politicians resort to desperate measures. Even the wife of a dementia addled politician...

I find myself in agreement with Pelosi and the Democrats. December 6 is the most consequential event that has ever happened to America, and it isn't only the 'insurrection' but everything to do with the election of Biden and its aftermath. So much has happened that they are holding on for dear life, like the management of a company that have committed numerous infractions in the hope that things will turn around and now risk real jail time, so every day new infractions must be added. When rising crime means that stores are forced to close because shoplifting is tolerated by the authorities people are being more than inconvenienced. Where do you buy what you need, including medicines? When even violent criminals are put back on the street without bail and not only citizens but even police are fearful of the consequences if they confront these criminals life is not safe. When supply problems delay deliveries of essentials everybody is affected. Inflation is real and growing, and the risk of an overpriced stock market crashing as never before is also real. You can start a war to deflect attention, but we are not the 'greatest generation' to fight it, but the turned off generation. Our 'woke' Generals are not capable of fighting a major war with their politically correct Army. They can only create another Afghanistan or Vietnam where in both cases the politicians turned a victory into defeat, only no brave and capable warriors will be at their disposition. Those in Washington may just be capable of hanging on to power, making America into a very real '1984', a Big Brother ruling class and a much larger population of 'Proles', each ignoring one another pretty much.

An article in The New York Times by Michael D. Shear on Jan. 9, 2022 paints a rosy picture of Biden's accomplishments, and is a serious disconnect from what I see as reality. If this reflects a serious assessment of our current situation and not an exercise in creative writing we really are two Americas.
