“We’ve been flanked and we’ve lost the line!” – Metropolitan Police radio, January 6, 2021

Fifty years ago this summer, the American system held up against the criminal presidency of Richard Nixon.

Trump makes Nixon look like an Eagle Scout.

Will the system hold up this year against a convicted felon, fraud and rapist – not to mention traitor?

In 2026, two years from now, will we celebrate 250 years of freedom from tyranny, or will we choose tyranny?

Human history is an ongoing struggle between lawless tyranny and law-abiding liberty.

Let’s strike a blow for liberty this year.

Today’s Republican Party is no more than a collection of cowardly bootlickers who put one man above our system of government, law and justice.

The verdict is a political body blow to them and Trump. Do you really think people are saying, “Well, I was on the fence, but now that Trump has been convicted on all 34 felony counts, I’m voting for him.”?

But we can take nothing for granted. We have to work for it.

Give your time and money to Democratic candidates.

Talk to the many people you know who respect your opinion. Be fair, factual and accurate, not hysterical and hyperbolic. The bare, unadorned facts about Trump and his bootlickers are damning.

Hold the line.
