Where have you gone, Christopher Wray-O ?

15 boxes?

Do you honestly believe that was all the boxes that were at Mar-a-Lago?

After the NARA found classified information in the boxes returned, don't you wonder what might be in the boxes that were not returned?

If the present resident was not living at Mar-a-Lago, what would you do?

Since national security is involved, would you not get a search warrant to search the entire place?

Immediately?

Putin's Dream

Since the fall of the old Soviet Union and his glory days as a chief in the old KGB, Vladimir Putin has dreamed of putting the old "Union" back together.

In August, 2008, Russia invaded Georgia to restore order. Georgia wanted very much to join NATO. That was not to be. The Russians are still in control today. ( https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/08/10/russia-invasion-georgia-12-years-no-end-ambassador-david-bakradze-interview/ )

Putin was seeing and hearing the same rumblings from Ukraine about wanting to join NATO. He sees that as an existential threat to his dream of uniting the old Soviet Union. He has made a power play around the borders of Ukraine. American and European intelligence expect him to do the same thing in Ukraine that he did in Georgia.

He is slowly and systematically attempting to put the old order back in place. Ukraine is a new democracy and does not want to be under the control of Russia.

If Ukraine postpones its wishes to enter NATO, it may postpone the invasion of their country. But it will not postpone Putin's dream.

How will the "Baby Boom" generation be remembered?

Were they greedy a$$holes that took all the wealth? Did they think the world was their oyster?

Were they the cause of all the problems in the present world?

Or will they be remembered as the generation that gave women rights they had not had for thousands of years?

Will they be remembered for passing Civil Rights legislation and successfully promoting equality in our country?

Will they be remembered for the great technological advances, going to the moon, etc?

Baby Boomers will soon be gone. Will the "good" things they accomplished disappear and we will return to the "old" ways?

How do you think Boomers will be remembered?

Have the Russians been grooming Trump since the 1980's?

I read that somewhere.

Some have even said he was a Russian agent, a true Manchurian candidate.

Of course, if he was actually a Russian agent, he would be working for Vladimir Putin.

The US Intelligence would probably know that by now.

That would be very disturbing for Vladimir Putin, knowing that they know.

If Putin had his own man in the White House, feeding him everything he knew and helping him in every conceivable way, Putin would have tried everything within his power to keep him in his position.

What could Putin possibly do to prevent the FBI from acting on their knowledge?

But, it is something that they could not tell the American people.

Sometimes conspiracy theories seem so real.

The best theory is that Trump was just a greedy asshole looking to make a dollar wherever it was available. He wanted a Trump Tower in Moscow but it never happened.

Republicans Cannot Be Trusted to Defend Our Democracy or Our Constitution

In my opinion, this is the most important message for Americans to receive before the next election.

There are many in the cult that will not hear it because they do not see any danger to our democracy.

But, in my opinion, there are many Republicans that understand that Trump and the present Republican establishment are a threat to our country.

By simply pointing out that the Republicans cannot be trusted with control of our government, most Americans understand that it carries a seed of truth.

It has to be that subtle, in my opinion, or they block out everything that is said in this partisan environment.
