"During an appearance at CPAC on Thursday, conservative activist and Trump ally Steve Bannon shared that the J6 Prison Choir, which is comprised of men previously imprisoned for their involvement in the January 6th United States Capitol attack, will soon perform at the Kennedy Center. Bannon said he was informed of their invitation by Ric Grenell, who was recently appointed by Trump as Kennedy Center’s interim executive director."

"'I talked to Ambassador Ric Grenell last night, and — the J6 choir is going to play the Kennedy Center for a night in honor of their families,' Bannon claimed, before suggesting they also use the evening as an opportunity to put the 'elites' in the 'D.C. gulag for one night.'"

"In 2023, the J6 Prison Choir released their lone record song, 'Justice for All,' which consists of Trump reciting the Pledge of Allegiance interspersed with the choir singing 'The Star-Spangled Banner.' Proceeds from the song’s sales went to family members of the individuals incarcerated for their involvement in the Capitol attack."

We're rapidly approaching the end of the world as we know it.

But to be on the safe side, after the hazmat team has removed all the physical crud I'd call in leaders of all traditions to do whatever spiritual cleansing is deemed necessary to remove the evil vibes. Sage, holy water, whatever.

We need a Charles Dickens. To poke fun at these absurd times and juxtapositions.

I tried to find a bio of Dickens. I came up with a recently written one that tracked his life lightly and showed how he gained his insights. Can't say as I retained a lot of it. But he was known for the wit, irony, contrasts of the age he chronicled in fiction.

Put enough people in the streets to surround the building. No one goes in. No one comes out. Hold counter shows in the streets. Round up a few big names. Make the tRump show look like the bullshit mickey mouse clown show that it is. It will embarrass the a-hole-in-chief. It is the ideal place to stage the first mass opposition protest to tRump. Given tRump's actions and the participation of the rioters, the local D.C. police will be sympathetic. I'm a veteran of massed organized protests against the Vietnam war. Protests do work. Organize!

It won't be the last protest. There will have to be protests nation wide. They will get bigger and I think the momentum will grow much faster than in the Vietnam era. After all - this war is being staged in our country.

Good Night and Good Luck
