The mission of this Allied Force was accomplished at 11:25 EST, 07 November 2020. It’s been four LONG years. Years of misery and anger.

I wrote this post 4 years ago on the eve of the election. It’s truly frightening that we are here again. Nothing has really changed- and it’s worth re-reading. That’s where the land of my birth is today. Remember this scene from the end of the movie, Wall Street? That’s
