I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

FUN FACT:

If Kamala was POTUS right now,

NONE of our trade or diplomatic relations would be up in smoke.

NONE of our farms and agribusiness would be going belly up.

NONE of the soft power we used to get great trade opportunities would have dried up.

All of this was avoidable.
