Re you #27: I think the lesson of Bundy Ranch for Obongo is that martial law isn’t going to be the cakewalk he imagined it would be. I’m encouraged by that. We all should be.
I pray that you are correct and that it gives them pause, but I fear that it will only increase their resolve.
It seems to me that these "people", the administration, its fellow travelers and cheerers-on, all believe that they can control the course of events once the let that proverbial Djinn out of the bottle, but anyone who has been paying attention knows that once the flag goes up, all bets are off. Mike's speech was very good, but I doubt that the people it was intended for will pay attention to the message.
As was posted above, prayers are certainly in order.
