“We shall nobly save or meanly lose the last, best hope of earth.” From President Lincoln’s annual message to Congress, 1862.
Victor David Hanson describes what is happening in America as two forces squeezing the life out of the American citizen.

We need a leader to stand and deliver, but anyone willing to stand up to the political firing squad is quickly dispatched as a nutcase or a conspiracy theorist.
It’s gonna get ugly. Halfway there.

If we lose it’s scorched earth time.
