“There are but two parties now: traitors and patriots,” Colonel Ulysses S. Grant wrote in a letter to his father in 1861. “ I want hereafter to be ranked with the latter and, I trust, the stronger party.”
As President Grant neared the end of his second term in 1875, the first centennial of the Declaration of Independence approached. Grant predicted that the next civil war would be "between patriotism and intelligence on one side, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other.”
Did you notice that the two folks killed in Minneapolis are named Alex Pretti and Renee Good...Pretty Good..? and their actions showed them to be patriots in the moment of their death. Posterity will record this as the moment with their names, too.
I follow Substacker Donald C Cartmell who posts ‘This week in the Civil War.’ I stare at the images and narratives, hoping Lincoln or Grant will somehow speak to us in 2026. So, thank you for sharing Grant’s words!
I’ll leave you with these words of wisdom also from Grant but could have also come from AB about the current occupant of the Oval Office: “Cheap cigars come in handy; they stifle the odor of cheap politicians.“
For some reason this popped in head. The commercial where Kristi Noem asks people to self-deport and get paid to with the promise of getting to come back legally.... WOW, that last part is pure fiction... and why not at the end "I'm Stephen Miller and I approve this message."
I get where you were going, HOWEVER, at the end, Darth Vader felt compassion and redeemed himself. After passing, he appeared with obi-wan, another deceased Jedi Master, indicating he had a conscience AND a soul, both which are lacking in the red tie. I would compare him to the emperor. No conscience or soul there.
Can the would be dictator be stopped? Hell Yes! Can the Grifter extraordinaire be stopped before lose all creditability on the world stage? How many innocent people have to die because on him? The mid terms can't come fast enough so we can impeach him & send him to jail where he belongs.
I see an impeachment that will put an end to the MAGA movement. As the Blue Wave swamps Congress, we will stop them once & for all. Rebuilding our once great country will take years.

Great job of digging up this historic quote.

Martyrs
Yes! Absolutely agree with you on that point.
That feel signifiant somehow.
to the first comment about patriotism and traitors, yes...
Wow! Grant nailed it.

You’re welcome!

🤣🤣👏👏
Very acurate?
We’re about to find out.
Yes
Great cartoon.

Too painfully true
May the farce be with you, Starship Pooper.
This is a perfectly apt representation. Amazing, as always.
Bored of peace? Join the Nazi Party! 🙄
Cue up Spring Time for Hitler and Germany from Mel Brooks’ “The Producers”

Lol, exactly what I was thinking of.
Bovino already has the winter authoritarian wardrobe straight out of central casting…
Haha, true
or Wag the Dog...that film is so apt right now!
And I can hear Darth Vader's voice emanating, with the millennium storm troopers (AKA ICE) swearing allegiance to their benefactor!
Every news day, a new insult to Americans everywhere! ?🔥❌️
I’m so sick and tired of waking up to “Breaking News” and the agonizing thought of what has he broken now?
I read someone's comment referring to it as actually the 'Bored of Peace'. Seemed apt.
On point. Darth Vader indeed.
Trump thinks of himself more as Darth Invader but looks more like Girth Invader.

With malice toward all, with charity for none.
Michael, you drew a documentary! Bravo 😪
Even Darth Vader had some sense of honour.
Perfect! Minnesota has definitely been invaded by the Clone Army.
Meh. The clones had a better costume designer. 😶
History never dies, although some might try to erase it. Bravo Michael. I wonder who Darth is under the cloak. Epstein, Epstein, Epstein.
With Trump it might be more accurate to call it “Bored of Peace” as he more an agent of chaos

You’re really counting on an election aren’t you?
