Influential voices are warning America that Americans simply cannot permit another Trump presidency because he's too much like Hitler. Hillary Clinton compared Donald Trump's upcoming rally at Madison Square Garden to the 1939 pro-Nazi rally held at the same venue. Clinton, agreeing with former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, referred to Trump as a "fascist" and urged Americans to stop him from gaining another term.
Atlantic Monthly just published an article citing a rumor that Trump admired Hitler's generals. "In recent days, [Trump] has signaled that, should he win reelection in November, he would like to govern in the manner of these dictators [Xi and Putin]."
Kamala Harris is escalating her rhetoric to this: “He does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution, he wants a military that is loyal to him,” she said. “He wants a military that is loyal to him personally. One that will obey his orders even when he tells them to break the law or abandon their oath to the Constitution of the United States.”
What's this all about? Mark Wauck suggests this is preparation for armed sedition if Harris loses. She can't concede loyally after this kind of rhetoric.
Predicts Wauck, "She’s going to call for resistance. “Patriotic resistance,” she might call it, but it will be coded as a call for street violence or worse. After all, you don’t just accept a Hitler-like, fascist regime. You fight it any way you can."
At 6:52 on a school morning, somewhere in your neighborhood, a ten-year-old is standing at the end of a driveway in the dark. His backpack weighs about a fifth of what he does. He ate breakfast in four bites. The bus is late again.
For a long time I thought of that kid as a scheduling problem. Early mornings, long days, a lot of sitting still. Then I sat down and did the math, and it stopped being about scheduling.
Over thirteen years, that boy will hand roughly 16,000 hours to a building. Homeschooling gives most of them back.

"In the words of Ron DeSantis, Governor of Florida, the midterms were ‘an extinction-level event’ for the Republican party."

American foreign policy must consider not only the condition of allied nations today but also the direction or trajectory in which they are moving. European leadership restricting freedom of speech and banning entry to peaceful activists cannot be dismissed as purely domestic when it affects American citizens and raises questions about the values on which the transatlantic alliance rests.
