The Collision is in our collective rear view mirror. It seems few have noticed the shudder and of those that have, indifference to the danger is only exceeded by a steely confidence that tomorrow will be fine because that is how it always ended in the completed stories that shape — PolitiTweet.org

The ship’s Master was a retiring Captain who plowed his ship and her passengers into an iceberg on a moonless night at near flank speed despite the warnings. More than 60 percent of the First Class passengers lived while only 25 percent of steerage did. It was arrogance that — PolitiTweet.org

I love the following paragraph from Steve Donoghue’s review of “Ship of Dreams” by Gareth Russell in the Christian Science Monitor. “Russell wants to characterize the sinking of the Titanic as the wooliest of historical concepts, the End of an Era, when the gaudy and oblivious — PolitiTweet.org

and ingratitude. That is the most disgusting aspect of all of this. It will mean that the blood sacrifice of every American Patriot from the beginning chapters of our long story will have been for nothing. It will have been in vain. Our rejection of our birthright and repudiation — PolitiTweet.org

feckless politicians and corrupted media have facilitated it. We are all in the Barell and the falls are directly ahead. The only thing that can save us is us. It is astonishing to contemplate the loss of liberty and democracy in America to the cold shoulder of indifference — PolitiTweet.org

national purpose illuminated in the words of Lincoln at Gettysburg is very real. The extremists are winning though they are not the majority, not even close. The lie stands triumphant against the truth in all quarters of American life and denial is confused for statesmanship — PolitiTweet.org

Putin has assembled an invasion force. It is too big and costly to be a threat and a bluff. It will be used. The Chinese will be watching. They will assess the reaction in the West and it will be precisely what they predict. The wolf will look to Taiwan. Here at home the appetite — PolitiTweet.org

The coup memo that called for rejecting the results of the election and using the US Military to seize unlawful power is real. It was passed between some of the most powerful people in the country. It is a blue print for 2024. The Russian Army is poised to invade Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

The funeral of Senator Dole will be the last service we see in the United States for a revered Statesman who was a combat veteran of the Second World War. We are at the end of an era and a hinge of history. What we saw today during this beautiful service is a face of America we — PolitiTweet.org
