if you’d like a vision of tomorrow look to puerto rico today. PR has no real democracy, looted by wall street, constant privatizations & union busting, declining public services, its own version of tariffs in the form of the Jones Act, and even has silicon valley wizard pedophiles running amok.

Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"

But people expect the military to suddenly gain a conscience when it comes to America. Half of America has no clue what the military is going to really do.

Tariffs have rapidly increased the price of coffee—a drink with almost no nutritional value and lots of functional substitutes. Yet coffee may also be the one thing Americans can’t live without, @elcush.bsky.social writes:

The Drink That Americans Won’t Give Up Without a Fight

Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.

Friends, "ordo amoris" demands of us to excommunicate those who have run afoul of our Democratic Capitalism's sword and shield, our brave ICE heroes. In fact, many of their detainees are in sin for attempting to organize against today's Suffering Servant, the modern American business corporation.
