Just wow.
That’s the guy. BTT.
Wow, Trav...that was something.
However, I wanna go back and pull a “Harry Turtledove” on you....
Towards the end, “Jacinta” said the President failed them by not ordering the arrest of the right-wing commentators and shutting down the “hate networks”.
What if he had? Could things have turned out differently? Any comments? Not trying to stir up any trouble, but my mind wandered in that direction. So, I thought I’d ask.
I love that you chose to use Dennis.
Excellent, Matt, just excellent. May it be so. The fatal blindness of our enemies will be their downfall.
As it should be. God gives us everything we have - including anger and in the extreme - Rage. Anger prompts us to act. It is God's way of lighting a fire under our behind to accomplish something that is difficult but needs to be done.
I say, "Hoo Yah Matt!" Keep up the great work. May your eloquent pieces provide the rethinking of a great potential misstep.
Thanks for the Ping I.T.

Yes, Simo was a genuine badass. 500+ confirmed kills, IIRC... and with iron sights. I wonder how many unconfirmed and/or wounded?
Excellent!
One of the best things I have ever read. Awesome. True.
That’s what I’m talking about.
We need to defund and remove the leadership of the institution that sponsored the civil war gaming against the Tea Party. All the staff needs to be reviewed for their loyality to the constitution, American people and our Nation.
Loyalty to the constitution and American people is not negotiable with radical coup dreamers in the military. We can abide communists and fascists in the Universities; not in military academies. That was one pinko classroom a$$hat too far. He planted his little Che flag against the United States of America. Good luck with that!
great short story Matt, maybe somebody impotant [sic] will be briefed on it and reflect on the potential disaster of pushing the crisis...
Great read. Thanks!
The part where they wanted to shut down Fox and the remaining conservative media? At that point, it sounds like they were pretty well boned anyway. Their problem at that point wasn’t the press so much as that pretty much all of them had to worry about getting shot. That meeting sounds like the bunker scene in “Downfall”, except with the staffers having the meltdown instead of the boss.
Actually, I could very easily see Barry greenlighting something like this, off the record, of course, giving Jacinda and Dennis and the gang the wink and the nod that he’s with them all the way on their plan, right on, comrades, and then bailing out if it goes bad, leaving the plotters in front of the speeding bus. I could even imagine him feeding Fox the “putsch” story, or feeding it to somebody to feed to Fox, while he’s up in the residence “thinking” about the arrest orders. I mean, when he’s not packing and planning his flight out.
Fred, you’ve hit another one out of the arena. I am enjoying your advancements.
I believe there’s three of my past taglines that fit your thesis.
I have never met one, not one, Veteran who enlisted to fight for Socialism
Conflict is inevitable; Combat is an option. Train for the fight.
There’s no expiration date on the oath I took to protect America from all enemies, foreign and domestic!

WHAT IS A PATRIOT?
PATRIOTS are not “Revolutionaries” trying to overthrow the government of the United States.
PATRIOTS are “Counter-Revolutionaries” trying to prevent the government of the United States,
from overthrowing the Constitution of the United States. - Unknown Author
Thanks Matt. Read your first one, then this one.
Makes me want a Remington model 700 :-)
No, it still wouldn’t have worked. But Jacinda had to blame somebody for the failure.
Not anymore, she’s not.
Let us pray that your missives do give "them" pause.
