Hi folks, at the outset of today's post, I want to note that a lot of the news about protests this week has been about the protesters in Iran who are courageously standing up for their lives and liberties against a brutal authoritarian regime. We are more alike than different. How ironic then, that President Trump is threatening military action against Iran for cracking down on protests while simultaneously entertaining the use of The Insurrection Act against Americans. To keep from getting bogged down in the head-spinning insanity of it all, just remember who you support: the people who want freedom, no matter where they live.
