The bow decor of the USS Maine, which exploded in the harbor of Havana in 1898. I came across this in a public park in Bangor, surrounded by homeless encampments.

I met Protestants. We talked constructively about faith and history. I wished them a good day, saying it was good to talk to other religious people, and they took offense I had called them "religious."

I'm editing Jefferson Davis' Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government. He includes a line by line comparison between the US Constitution and the Confederate Constitution. Some of the comparisons are not what most would expect.

@Jeff_Davis1808 I remember a conversation with a fellow faculty member in which we talked about features of the Confederate Constitution. He insisted that the CSA was dead-set on reopening the slave trade. When I fetched the quote, he became angry with me and started questioning my beliefs.

The world controllers in Washington must be confronted with hard limits. They must face tragic nemesis. I sincerely hope and pray this does not require a shocking loss of American lives, but this will require suffering. Then, the failed leaders must be removed and punished.

The Puritans deserve charity and sympathy. That said, they also looked over their own heritage with a devastating critical analysis to "purify" and discard the "problematic." Their children continued to analyze and became Unitarians, Mormons, or nothing at all. They degenerated.

The mounting exhaustion and apathy over foreign wars ought to signal both disengagement and the end of the Nuremburg Order of "human rights" that America has used to rule the world since 1945. The overwrought American public longs for a leader that can gracefully withdraw.
