Amid the constant anti-renewables sentiment so common across our media, this letter today is a blessed relief.

StateCapturedMedia. Bread and Circuses. Oligarchs control.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

Neither did we elect Susie Wiles, our
nation’s first female, albeit de facto, President.

Would the State of Illinois dare to incur the wrath of Madame (shadow) President (by default, by proxy, whatever) Susie Wiles? She’s clearly deputized her leading man!

It may be just as simple as Susie Wiles really wants him to turn it up to 11! Is she truly the first female president?

The shadow knows

National Guard deployment moves ahead in Illinois after judge declines state's suit to block Trump call-up — Chicago Tribune Attorneys for the Trump administration said in court that Texas National Guard units could begin operations by Tuesday, the same day Illinois Guard members have been ordered to report.

Absolute failure of our system that a federal judge can be “very concerned” about Trump’s unlawful attempt to send troops into a city, but also powerless to stop it.

The default should be to protect us from government abuse, not to protect government from temporary inconvenience.

Nothing really happens until Air Traffic Controllers act by calling in sick— perhaps this time earlier than earlier shut downs.

ATC employees have the leverage to shut down domestic AND international travel AND critical global supply chains!

File release? Joint Chief reinstatement?

Impressive news that a Pr.21631 Buyan-M class missile corvette has been hit by Ukraine on Lake Onega, up north. Presumably by a strike drone (OWA-UAV)?

This ship can launch Kalibr cruise missiles.

Lake Onega is on the inland waterways connecting Baltic, Arctic, Caspian and Black Sea

Will enough military-trained air traffic controllers call in sick until she is reinstated? It wouldn’t take very many to use their leverage to shut down critical global supply chains and air travel for humans in and out of the US.

60,000 TSA workers; 10,000 ATC employees. Both cohorts work now w/o lowing when they’ll be paid. If a small percentage of the ATC workers call in sick, global supply chains and air travel for humans cease operating. How’s that for Trump opposition leverage?

Are we seeing the effects of an additional work slowdown due to ATCs calling in sick, yet? This kind of action compelled Congress to restart the government in the past. Ot might this tactic’s purpose be to release the files?

Nothing will happen until the Air Traffic Controllers start their opposition action by calling in sick. Maybe they’ll start earlier than the last time the government was shut down.

Well, his boss, Susie Wiles certainly approves and encourages his behavior. Her dad, Pat Summerall sure would be proud of her quite, very quiet, behind the scenes leadership/shadow presidency.
