We are now at the point in our dystopian saga where the ambitious daughter betrays her father, and the dramatic tension turns on the question of whether she's trying to prove her loyalty to the emperor, or maybe she's faking it and it's all part of a larger scheme, or - or - or.

We seem to be living the last season of Game Of Thrones.

POTUS is attacked and obstructed by the MSM media and Democrats 24/7. For an incoming Republican freshman senator to attack @realdonaldtrump as their first act feeds into what the Democrats and media want and is disappointing and unproductive. https://t.co/ArhI7Bi7bo

The Fail

When the rubes are a bit unclear on the concept - because the "leader" is not fully competent, and fails to explain it well.

Today's Quote

Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
-To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears.
-To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool.
-To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
-To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

-- Octavia Butler
