Seventeen seventy-two, 1773, 1774, 1775 all came and went, and they had no idea they were living in capital-R Revolutionary times...until they did.
They didn’t know we would come to revere them, these farmers, these doctors, these lawyers and tradesmen, as R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N-A-R-I-E-S. No man knows that until it’s over. And even then, there’s no guarantee. History has to write that page, and only the fullness of time can confer such titles.
I’ve long thought about how our forebears knew there was increasing trouble afoot (as we do now) but really didn’t know how big, how consequential those troubles were (as we do not know now), until the musket balls started flying. (We hope nothing starts flying.) It’s an all too understandable trap of our thinking, knowing, as we do, how the first Revolution turned out, so we forget that.
We should ponder it.
Is that where we are? In a revolution? How would we know? What are the markers? Because I would argue we are. We are in what our former FBI director, that bouffant slime boy Christopher Wray, might’ve described as a “non-kinetic” revolution — one that is fully engaged except without bloodshed. (And may we pray that it remains so.)
What President Trump is overseeing with his “rock ’em, sock ’em” (h/t Dan Bongino) fire hose of executive actions, domestic and foreign policy moves, is dizzying, breathtaking, and, as a side-benefit, wearing out our flabby, un-exercised fake-news press corps, all while we take it in wide-eyed, hitting “refresh” on X. Trump had four — count ’em: four — press availabilities the other day. He’s easily answered more questions in four weeks than the last guy did in four years, and they’re bangers.
Meanwhile, the British, in this current scenario, have chosen the judiciary as their battlefield. American lefties

It will be interesting to see if Kash Patel goes after the real criminals.
The beautiful thing is that Patel doesn’t have to mix politics with justice, as with the last administration, because there were clearly laws broken by Democrats doing just that. They denied American citizens their Constitutional rights and lied on many occasions to frame their political adversaries. The price they should pay has nothing to do with their politics.
That’s is why they hate Kash, he will arrest the real criminals.
When I see elite corrupt pedophile politicians frog-marched into the street and put down like dogs…. After jury trial of course…. Then I will believe we have a true revolution.
IMHO we’re in the next Great Awakening.
Before Trump/Doge/Kash, an article like this was on the way to becoming illegal...they fear Kash because they know he’ll target actual criminals...
Kids today are taught not to.
Is that the same as the Fourth Turning?
Somewhat the same.
Yes we are in a revolution and they didn’t see it coming.
