Again, a time stamp is necessary and it is Monday morning March 27, 2023. I want to present several far right wing “dots” and see if you are making similar connections. I use the term “far right wing” because that is what they are despite the fact that many of them seek legitimacy in the term “conservative”. While I am not a conservative I respect (and in some instances and circumstances actually agree with parts of that philosophy). I contend that the words “conservative” and “crazy” are not synonyms. However, most of the actions depicted here are not those of true conservatives.

With the “recruiting” of the scientific community (the development of effective vaccines) and the “coaching” of the current staff (the Biden administration actually having a plan and executing it) if we take prudent and swift action the virus is a decided underdog. If we fail to, we will beat ourselves.
America A. T. – Part Ten
The following is the tenth installment in a series of undetermined duration and frequency about life in America after Trump (A.T.).
At this point we know the Trump administration will end and Joe Biden will be president as of the afternoon of January 20th. Whether he will directly take over from Trump or there will be a brief Pence administration as part of Pardonpalooza is an unknown. In any event Biden’s plate will be overflowing and one of the pressing matters will be rejoining the world community as a leader. Today I’d like to explore six related challenges.
