  1. A quotation from Henry Commager

    Who are those who are really disloyal? Those who inflame racial hatreds, who sow religious and class dissensions. Those who subvert the Constitution by violating the freedom of the ballot box. Those who make a mockery of majority rule by the use of the filibuster. Those who impair democracy by denying equal educational facilities. Those who frustrate justice by lynch law or by making a farce of jury trials. Those who deny freedom of speech and of the press and of assembly. Those who press for special favors against the interest of the commonwealth. Those who regard public office as a source of private gain. Those who would exalt the military over the civil. Those who for selfish and private purposes stir up national antagonisms and expose the world to the ruin of war.

    Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
    Essay (1947-09), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 3, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168

  16. "#Trump says he will order the U.S. #military to commit #warcrimes against #Iran if the strait is not reopened."

    We certainly hope the commanders of the #forces involved paid close attention to their 8 million fellow #Americans who took to the streets to decry the rise of #autocratic #warmongering maniacs.

    #PeteHegseth prays at Pentagon service for 'overwhelming violence'

    Fernando Cervantes Jr.

    "Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called for 'overwhelming violence of action' against those who 'deserve no mercy' during a monthly Christian service held at the Pentagon on March 25, a day after he announced major changes to the military's chaplaincy corps.

    "Speaking to military and civilian employees at the livestreamed service, Hegseth quoted Scripture and read a prayer he said was first offered by a military chaplain during a past U.S. operation. The prayer asked God to 'let every round find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation.'

    " 'Give them wisdom in every decision, endurance for the trial ahead, unbreakable unity, and overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy,' Hegseth said. He also called on God to 'break the teeth of the ungodly.' "
