Sorry. This is unprecedented.

If your information sources are saying it is the Democrats’ fault, you need new information sources.

The Republicans own the White House, Congress, and the Senate. They refused any input from the Democrats on their policy or bill. The Democrats would be grossly negligent to vote to pass a bill so bad for Americans.

The Speaker of the House sent Congress on recess early to 1) avoid a vote on releasing the Epstein files that now have the votes needed and 2) to let the government shutdown because that allows Trump’s OMB to shred the US government as the Republicans want.

Johnson even refused to bring Congress back for a narrow vote on paying our troops. It is all on him that DFAS has to figure out how NOT to pay troops on 15 October.

Air Traffic Control is also working without pay. Expect problems if you travel via air.

This lack of governance is a disaster and will remain so. Don’t look at the global monetary thermometer – gold – because it tells the story and it is going to get worse.

Trump has been itching to implement the Insurrection Act and declare martial law since his first term in office. They are prepping the information battlefield with the help of Fox and other right-wing propaganda channels.

Sorry, Trump, Portland is not on fire.

Trump’s Attorney General managed to avoid perjury before Congress by simply not answering a single question.

Stephen Miller has declared the Democrat party a terrorist organization and committed to insurrection along with Antifa (anti-Trump’s-fascism) which is simply a philosophy, not an organization.

Don’t expect to get paid anytime soon. If Congress comes back from recess, then they will want to vote on the Epstein file release, which Trump can not handle. A large distraction will be needed and maybe calling an insurrection will be the only play left in the play book.

Sorry guys, hang in there.
