I am very pleased and proud to subscribe to you, Jim. You are quite amazing. A hero for our time. I'm behind you; I believe as. you do, that the great things and great people in this country--SO MANY, SO MUCH!!!---will rise up to create a more perfect union. Or, if they really want to be assholes, then our own union. See you on the other side!

I appreciate your work. This piece was written yesterday at 12, before Biden’s farewell speech.

Biden said it out loud, gave a stark grave warning to the nation.

He's still POTUS.

He's giving us ammunition in the form of truth.

Maybe Part 2 of Jack Smith report, maybe things we don't know about.

Biden said "History is in your hands"

I will fight the rest of my life for this country, however I can.

If America goes down, it will be "death by a thousand cuts"

I'll not blame Biden, when it's clear, and he told us who the enemy is.

Abuse of power, he said it twice, at Carter's funeral, and in farewell address.

Who do you think he meant?

It does no good making Biden the fall guy at this point.

Thank you, Jim. A better subhead may have been, "A farewell to establishment," as that has been in operation for a good many years. As I rabbit-holed into your columns regarding Qanon, which fascinates me on a WTF? level, I'm sort of amazed that no documentary series, or anyone, it seems, has pointed the LARPing right at Mike Flynn, when now it seems SOOOOOOO obvious. Ron Watkins? Please. How anyone believed that that dork could have pulled off anything like Qanon is some Qanon-level stupid thinking.

I will not watch Joe Biden tonight, and most definitely will not give the inauguration any time on Monday. It's become obvious that we are on our own, with only a few voices out there, like yours, to lead people through the darkness about to descend -- DRAMATIC, I know, but whoever thought the US would be HERE? I'll be 67 next month and I know I didn't. My mom is 92 and I can't count the number of times she's started sentences with, "I never thought I'd see..." over the past ten years, but here we are. Again, thanks for your insight and continued resistance to what amounts to, in the end, bullshit. A lot of the country has been brainwashed by absolute toxic bullshit. It's truly breathtaking.

Even though the current administration did not take your message seriously, many of us did and are grateful for your voice. I started following your work when you advised to steer clear of the now infamous Jan 6 rally. I’m not sure any of us are prepared for what is going to happen Jan 20 and moving forward. But we will move forward, and we will need courage to do so. I’m as ready as I’ll ever be.

Hegseth's hearing showed the nominees to be worse than I had expected. Even his well-coached responses to the hard questions were crappy.

Are Biden's staff operatives for Maga in disguise?

We should give a try to let Biden know HE is committing a crime by not acting to protect our government, just like Trump did not act on Jan 6. We need to change how we and he look at this in reference to BIDEN. I think he will care to be considered as a criminal aiding the takeover.

He's too old and set in his ways to care.
