Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.

“What’s clear is that his mind was aflame from an early age, and that certain impulses fell into place and took hold of young John Steinbeck, a boy who would not conform, who could not tolerate a bully.“ - William Souder, “Mad at the World”

In America and Americans, John Steinbeck writes: “We have failed sometimes, taken wrong paths, paused for renewal, filled our bellies and licked our wounds; but we have never slipped back—never.” What would he say now? Have we finally crossed the line and “slipped back” as a nation? 1/3

Hey media pundits, stop saying "Shocking" and start saying "As expected from a shameless, lying, crass, opportunistic, egomaniac like < fill in tRump or Elon >." Also stop confusing clever with cunning, cognitive dissonance with blatant hypocrisy, charisma with histrionics.
