They're going to cheat! They're scared and will do anything to retain power. Our first duty is to vote! If they derail the midterms in some fashion that's when we'll have to show them the error of their ways.

Taking back the planet from the ignorant will require eternal vigilance.

“Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.” quote Charles Darwin. Now more than ever we need to take back our planet from the ignorant.

Insecure white guy carrying what looks to be two semiautomatic pistols on both sides of his belt and a backup revolver holstered at his back. Plus, he's carrying two extra magazines! Oh, I forgot the cowboy hat. Even with all that firepower you're not a real man until add the hat. #insanity

Read an essay a while back that explains the billionaire mindset. When you have so much money it would be impossible to spend it in 10 lifetimes, the thrill then becomes about just gather as much as possible. The perfect human parasite.

Some of the ruins at Tulum, Mexico. This is one of the few pictures that weren't overflowing with tourists. One of the last cities built and inhabited by the Maya. #photography #travelphotography #Tulum #mayahistory

4 year active duty US Army and 17 years served in the National Guard. And I can't wrap my head around all the vets still supporting trump. He just waived the late Sweet Lindsey's new sanctions on Russia. A bill trump signed. He's literally giving Russia money to kill US service members.

North Korea possessing submarine launched hypersonic weapons is a true nightmare. These weapons provide a true nuclear first strike capability. This nightmare is an element in the book, "Nuclear War: A Scenario" by Annie Jacobsen I just finished reading. #anniejacobsen www.dw.com/en/hypersoni...

dw.comHypersonic missile tests by North and South Korea highlight Korean Peninsula arms raceBoth South and North Korea have tested weapons feared by military planners for their speed and ability to maneuver in flight.

This examination of what would happen during a nuclear war is based on interviews with military and civilian experts. It hit me harder than the visuals from "The Day After" movie. This book is terrifying but a must read! #booksky #nuclearwar

Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge displays an impressive collection of African art. I wouldn't call a Beligan colonial sword a work of art if you know anything about the history of that era. More like a cursed object. #photography #disneysanimalkingdomlodge

Spent the day at Discovery Cove, Orlando FL. Swam with the fish- not the dolphins, the fish, hung out in the aviary, and watched this guy dig through the sand on the fake beach. #photography #squirrelsofbluesky #discoverycove #orlando

Even in a best case scenario we have Democrats in control of both houses of Congress and a Democratic president in 2029 the billionaires will oppose every attempt to fix the United States. Ultimately, it's either them or us. Coexistence isn't a workable option.
