That was so powerful. More than ever we need story tellers. Steve is my story teller. We need a leader just like him to remind this country of its true identity and how to reclaim it. I wish he could be our leader and if not be behind the scenes running the campaign for the conscience of this country.
Just 2 days before the Nazi Republican Virginia governor left office in an act of violence pardoned a cop killer(https://bit.ly/4rjx3Pz) just because he could This underscores that the Nazi party of “law and order” is clearly the party of lawlessness
Over at Harry Litman’s Substack channel(https://bit.ly/4rjx3Pz) he recalls Lincoln’s Lyceum address in which Lincoln made the case that when a society stops respecting the rule of law then that disrespect leads to a lawless society and that the destruction of a democratic Republic occurs from within, that violence committed in the name of community passion would be tolerated, even excused, and that the rule of law would erode as a result
But reverence for law—the shared understanding that rules bind even when inconvenient—quietly dissolves and accountability becomes persecution of the one who is held to accountability And poignantly it's us to decide WE the People will decide at this crossroads which path to follow that "will make all the difference"

Always good to see if I’ve missed anything ….thanks!
Thank you both... I needed this.
You and Leigh should team up regularly in this fight… you did very well together
Thank you for the tremendous amount of work you do for America!
Loved seeing you on Velshi this morning. You can’t sugarcoat what’s happening in our country. Thank you for your powerful words, Steve!!
If ICE was using men from other countries, would our military leaders finally stand up?
Great truth telling as per usual Steve
