Rules Based Order

Posted on March 27, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, a “rules-based order” would have everyone follow the same rules. That ours has a clear double standard, whistleblowers are vilified, and law enforcement serves power instead of justice… suggests ours isn’t a rules-based order, … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, There once was a despot known so well, A real killer of innocents so many fell, A prideful man,A different Klan, And his eternal reward will be in Hell. A naïve attitude just begs to be burst,Believing the … Continue reading →
