Very beautiful!
If it was stupidity there sure was a mountain of evil serendipity in the hordes of douchebags “ready at the starting gate” to jump out and take advantage of it…
Oh, and don’t forget the “exercises” that just so happened to occur right before corona, AND monkey pox popped up…
And the budgetary line item for the Ukrainian lab calling out Covid 19 a month before it’s outbreak and 2 months before it was named.
made just after September 11, 2001. Crocheted but with foam cut out stars.
Beautiful, and I add my name.
Yes indeed, like Sun Tzu as well!
Cities starting to announce cancellation of their parades. FF
Six people were killed and possibly more than two dozen others wounded when a gunman started shooting from a rooftop 10 minutes after the Highland Park Fourth of July parade kicked off Monday morning, authorities said.
Shortly after noon, the Highland Park police said it remained an “active incident” and urged people to stay away. Authorities continued to hunt for the shooter, and the FBI asked that anyone who had video of the shooting or possible information about the shooter call their toll-free tipline at (800) CALL-FBI.
A Chicago Sun-Times reporter saw blankets covering three bloodied bodies and five other people wounded and bloodied near the parade’s reviewing stand.

A nice day to read some quotes from the founders, not comprehensive but did a bit of searching.
We must go home to be happy, and our home is not in this world. Here we have nothing to do but our duty.
– John Jay
Because power corrupts, society’s demands for moral authority and character increase as the importance of the position increases.
– John Adams
The Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation where the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.
– James Madison
The way to secure peace is to be prepared for war. They that are on their guard, and appear ready to receive their adversaries, are in much less danger of being attacked, than the supine, secure, and negligent. – Benjamin Franklin
We have no Government armed with Power capable of contending with human Passions unbridled by morality and Religion. Avarice, Ambition Revenge or Gallantry*, would break the strongest Cords of our Constitution as a Whale goes through a Net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other
- John Adams
*Splendor of appearance; ostentatious finery.
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.
― John Adams
The longer I live, the more I read, the more patiently I think, and the more anxiously I inquire, the less I seem to know...Do justly. Love mercy. Walk humbly. This is enough.
― John Adams
There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.
― John Adams
I know of no pursuit in which more real and important services can be rendered to any country than by improving its agriculture, its breed of useful animals, and other branches of a husbandman’s cares. – George Washington
Your love of liberty – your respect for the laws – your habits of industry – and your practice of the moral and religious obligations, are the strongest claims to national and individual happiness.
– George Washington
The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained.
– George Washington
The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.
– James Madison
There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.– James Madison
If our nation is ever taken over, it will be taken over from within.
– James Madison
It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws are so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.
– James Madison
The future and success of America is not in this Constitution, but in the laws of God upon which this Constitution is founded.
– James Madison
No, I just 'unsubscribed' from his posts. 🤷 I almost never read them, he was re-posted on many other sites that I look at. I don't know who deleted my reply but it was nearly immediate.
