Good Morning.

Greetings from Cloud-Cuckoo Land.


Any one of the headlines below could be an entire blog today. Naturally, these all come from the front page of Military Daily News.

Tricking Veterans: Using Suicide and Mental Health Struggles as a Guise for Privatizing the VA

This maladministration is characterized by a sea of contradictions, all of it under an umbrella of histrionics and increasing spite and malevolence.

But it's not just the military and veteran community that's suffering. Texas is a disaster of his own making. And I'm sure you could name the two states that are his favourite targets without much thought.

It's almost as if he's goading one or both to take dramatic action. While I can't speak for California, Massachusetts has been there before. I do not think this country will make it to the mid-terms as a single entity. Abraham Lincoln once observed -


A house divided against itself can not stand," he declared, "I do not expect the Union to be dissolved. I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other. Either the opponents of [fascism] will arrest the further spread of it, and put it in course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward till it shall become alike lawfull in all the states, old, as well as new."
