Sure, stick all of the U.S. military’s top leadership in a room together in front of a former talk show host. What could possibly go wrong? Maybe he’ll give them all Volkswagen Beetles like Oprah. “You get a car! And you get a car! And you get a car!” Can I just stop paying taxes at this point?

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

People need to put down all the labels of their lives, Democrat, Republican, Black, white—all of it and just put on the blessed legacy of calling themselves free Americans. And not let anyone on this side of heaven stop them from claiming that name. It was hard earned, and is worth keeping.

That’s what I think is so comical about all of the reaction of Republicans and most Democrats in Congress. They’re behaving as though business as usual will continue in Congress and they just need to ride out this rocky start. If they stopped hiding, they might see what’s actually happening.

They’re limited by their party-oriented minds from seeing the big picture maybe. It’s no longer about party, it’s about the existence of the very republic that makes such parties possible. The confrontation between the executive and the judiciary will likely determine the fate of the U.S. republic.
