Thank you, Walter! This was so articulate and meets to moment. It’s sad our moment has to be met in such a fashion. We need to meet the force with peace. The hippies were right. So were MLK, Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, et alia. Play peaceful protest songs. A good one to blast loudly is Neil Diamond’s “There Coming to America.” It was based on his family’s immigration from Ukraine when it was still under USSR. I also love Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth.” And my all time favorite because it get under the wannabe’s skin, CCR “Fortunate Son”. John Fogerty point blank told Trump he wrote this about people like him who dodged service in Viet Nam. He served 2 tours.

I have now adorned my American Flag with a black ribbon as part of my peaceful protest. I previously removed it due to the reprehensible connection with maga. I decided to take it back. Walk in peace!
