What's going on?

When Trump goes silent, he is up to no good. He has warships parked off the coast of Venezuela and it appears he wants to invade and over-throw the Maduro government. After all, in order to be a "great" President, you must win a battle or a war.

The streets of our cities are becoming militarized as anemic citizens stoop to pet a rattlesnake. The entire move is political. There is no crime wave in America. The Republican Party knows that they are in electoral trouble in next years election. This is nothing more than an attempt to show that they are the Party of "law and order". It has worked for them in the past so why will it not work again?

They are lying and obfuscating to the American people. The price of liberty is not the acceptance of a dictator to run our country. With the help of their propagandists, that is what is going on. We are well on the way to a dictatorship.

The people of this country must wake up or they are going to lose everything.
