OPINION:
Watching fresh video of the Russian invasion of a sovereign neighbor, I’m reminded that, at the same time, the U.S. administration is preparing for the local invasion of tractor-trailer trucks driven by American drivers wishing to make a less-than-subtle point about freedom in America.
The beacon of freedom for the entire world is again erecting fences around the Capitol and bringing in U.S. National Guard troops. A new committee is already investigating such blatant domestic white-supremacist terrorism.
There is almost nothing left of sanity in our world as we are still debating whether boys who think they are girls should be allowed to shower with real girls, or whether American voters should show something identifying themselves as Americans at the voting booth.
The world has gotten infinitely more dangerous as cruise missiles fly and men squabble over out-of-control baseball money and hated football-team owners.
With each increased scope of technological advance, the capacity of the human brain to function is allowed to recede. Nothing necessarily bodes well for anyone anywhere as many are finding their world in too many ways infinitely less safe.
