I can feel all my Civics, American government and history teachers and professors rolling over in their graves. My eyes roll daily and I scratch my head wondering how we got here.

Decline may be kind. More like Rome burning while Nero was fiddling kind of bad. 😬😞

It could, but it won't be in america. We are a violent nation and the current person "in charge" has not humanity, so the worst of his followers don't either. I wish it could be otherwise.

I am very impressed by both the volume and quality of your writing. Having done similar writing in the past, I am aware of the massive amount of research time needed to produce these summaries. I need to ask a question, though, just as a matter of...due diligence... for lack of a better term.

The question: are you using one or more of the current Artificial Tools in the process of writing these? If so, what level of fact checking are you employing, given that AI tools are well known for fabricating "facts"?

I'm not asking these questions to impugn your work, but to verify its strength and veracity. Thanks for putting your work out there.

I use Google a lot but I should explain that I’ve been writing about some of these topics for years and read a lot on some subjects I touch on. For the most part, I write some paragraphs the evening before the daily roundup and then depending on breaking news figure out how I’m going to weave them together. I strive to be accurate as much as humanly possible but I’m dependent upon what’s available on the internet. I do use AI to create images when necessary because I don’t have the budget for a graphics department just yet.

Need to recruit some of the fired generals and officers to form a peoples’ army to defend us when Trump orders the military to fire on peaceful protesters. And from goons dragging citizens from

their homes without warrants. And maybe we need to form liberal and independent militia groups to fight against brown shirts, Proud Boys, Watchmen, Michigan Militia. People need firearm and self defense instruction and to drill, to protect their homes and friends.

Some of those generals should be recruiting us for the resistance
