Thank you. 💙. DefenseOne is read by all military senior leadership and many others in the defense system at large. it

Is to the military, what the Wall Street journal is to the business community.

It is a significant act of bravery, for this to be published now. It will have a significant impact.

Might be of interest to someone.

Snippet:

The United States has crossed a dangerous line.

Last week, an American military platform destroyed a small vessel in the Caribbean, killing 11 people the Trump administration claims were drug traffickers. It was not an interception. It was not a boarding with Coast Guard legal authority. It was a strike—ordered from Washington, executed in international waters, and justified with little more than “trust us.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Fox that officials “knew exactly who was in that boat” and “exactly what they were doing.” He offered no evidence.

Thank you all so much for all you have done for me, and for your patience,

I will refrain from posting here again, because yesterday I got a person I have since blocked, who was basically aggressive, yelling at me and I felt very threatened and unsafe.

I don’t know if that person was part of the on-line group that has been bullying me for several years, or not.

I just know I no longer feel safe posting here.

I wish all of you well, and wish happiness for you all.

Mammogram showed no cancer, but it was nerve wracking today as I had to go back first for more mammogram images and then an ultrasound afterwards, for a suspicious area. But thankful that it turned out to be no evidence of cancer.

Thank all of you so much, and I wish the best for everyone here.

I have been trying to do Tucson themed oil paintings.

Just kind of dabbling. Finding it hard to make a serious effort at anything these days.

So just playing.

My latest efforts.

I had the most wonderful day today. It reminded me, life can still be good even in the middle of

Our nation falling apart, atrocities all around us, looming war. We can still somehow find little bits of happiness.

My husband took me to the National Gallery of Art. And I got to see beautiful paintings. Then we had a nice lunch, followed by custard, and naps in our respective recliners while listening to an audible book from the number one ladies detective agency series.

I was grateful for every single moment of it, and thought, how wonderful my life is, away from my family of origin and away from any toxic people in general.

I look at Trump and see my father. And my older sister and brother turned cruel and sociopathic, too.

Every day, I think at least one time, I am so glad I escaped my family of origin.

With increasing military presence in LA which currently has no protestors, could this be a possible outcome?

I can’t help but put two and two together, here.

Maybe I am being overly paranoid, but could they be doing this in anticipation of


Perhaps arresting or otherwise removing duly elected Democratic politicians and installing Trump rulers over California?

They did say they were going to stay and “liberate California from liberal politicians” after all.

If they plan to do something so drastic and unpopular, they would want lots of soldiers whom they feel would be willing to use lethal force against citizens.

Perhaps the plan is to go from blue state to blue state, installing Trump dictators against the will of the people.

Rachel Maddow said, jailing/removal of the opposition party is next in the authoritarian handbook.
