All Sad But True

By Jim O'Neill

If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.—Sir Winston Churchill

It is our life. It is our country. This is the time in our country’s history where if we don’t get this right our country is done. It will be over.  —Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn

By Alexander Maistrovoy “A country cannot subsist well without liberty, nor liberty without virtue, nor virtue without citizens”,—Rousseau There were elections in two countries happening almost simultaneously: in the United States and in the Republic of Moldova. As one might expect, the elections in Moldova were fair, transparent and open. And, on the contrary, the elections in the United States were accompanied by numerous falsifications, fraud, manipulation, cooperation of one of the parties with criminal structures, and threats of mass pogroms in the event of an “unfavorable” outcome. This is not a fantasy novel or a satirical pamphlet. This is a sad reality: the stronghold of liberal democracy has sunk to the level of ...not even Russia or Belarus, but Venezuela, Zimbabwe and Kyrgyzstan. By Judi McLeod Devious former President Barack Obama never left the White House after he finished his second term but could only run for a tried third term through protégé Hillary Clinton.  While it’s true that Obama moved into a mansion within easy walking distance of the White house, as self-anointed ‘Resistance’ Leader, he left myriad plants ensconced within the 2016 Trump administration, ever at the ready to throw red meat scandals to an eagerly awaiting media.
