Dear America, I write to you from war-torn #Portland. Supplies are low. Today we ran out of oat milk at the co-op, and the line at the food trucks stretched a full block. Last night the only sounds were distant basslines and someone dropping a kombucha bottle.

One suggestion I have heard from songwriters who finally are selected into New Folk after multiple times entering is to have a third party pick the two songs to enter into the contest. An outside ear can provide some insight as to what resonates with others.

Sorry for the delay. I don't sign into Blue Sky very often. No standard for the production of the songs submitted. Key is that lyrics can be understood. Entries for 2026 will open in January.

If by “how it’s done” you mean posting made-up stories without checking anything, then yeah, flawless execution.

Has anyone explored this theory seriously? Any intel or foreign policy experts discussed Chinese disinfo in the early Trump-era chaos? I’d love to read more. (8/8)

This isn’t about villains. It’s about motive. China’s playbook emphasizes redirection, erosion, and influence over overt confrontation. The long game is stability by comparison. (7/8)

Trump didn’t need to be a Chinese agent. Just unpredictable. If U.S. leadership becomes unreliable, China doesn’t need war to rise—just patience. (6/8)

The Steele Dossier didn’t need to be true—it needed to be disruptive. Media frenzy, partisan warfare, institutional doubt. That kind of chaos benefits a rising global competitor. (5/8)

Russia had motive. But what if China let Russia take the blame? A perfect misdirect. While Americans argued over foreign interference, PRC quietly gained ground. (4/8)

100

Trump pulled out of alliances, strained NATO, insulted G7, and praised authoritarians. As the U.S. stepped back, China filled the void—through Belt & Road and soft power. (3/8)

China plays the long game. They think in decades, not cycles. Undermining U.S. influence, seeding mistrust in media and intel, and deepening internal division? That’s strategy, not accident. (2/8)

What if the Steele Dossier wasn’t Russian disinfo—but Chinese? A long-game op to sow chaos, discredit U.S. institutions, and shrink America’s global role. Not a claim—just a hypothesis worth exploring. (1/8)

Calling The Diary of Anne Frank fiction is antisemitic. Why isn’t that something the Trump DOJ investigates — or is antisemitism only a problem when it’s politically convenient? #Antisemitism #AnneFrank #FightHate #NeverAgain #HistoryMatters

The Titanic sank today in history. A century later, Trump’s tariffs replay the same tragedy: hubris at the helm, warnings ignored, and working families left below deck. Except this time, the lifeboats are luxury yachts, and they’re already gone. #Titanic #TrumpTariffs

A political cartoon-style illustration of the United States as a sinking ship, its hull cracked against a giant iceberg labeled “TRUMP TARIFFS.” The ship, painted in red, white, and blue, lists heavily as dark waters rise. Lifeboats marked “Billionaires” drift away, while crates labeled “Jobs” and “Farmers” float in the icy sea. The sky is dark, evoking the Titanic disaster.
