What a riveting account of the Battle of Mobile Bay! Thank you! I, for one, am rarely captivated by accounts of war, yet you had me on the edge of my seat -- it was the change of tactics -- that of unification -- brought about by Ulysses S. Grant. Isn't that always a brilliant manoeuvre -- to work in tandem?

That said, I do hope that you will give us the pleasure of reading your insights about "the rising radicalism of the Republican Party." This is where, I believe, that we can learn a few Grantian military procedures that may serve us well against the current GOP. Perhaps, we need some way of unifying the Democrats and Progressives in a common quest to fight tooth and nail with a Farragutian cry of: "Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!"
Morning, Lynell, Stuart, and Gail! Yes TC's post is alarming, but we must be vigilant and recognize the destructive power 45's GOP continues to brandish. We can't let our guard down. They are too dangerous.

TCinLA's brilliant account entitled "The New 'Lost Cause'" is well worth a read in this regard. (See https://tcinla757.substack.com/p/the-new-lost-cause)
Morning, Rowshan. I just read TC's post. Deeply disturbing. But we must not be deterred!
Morning Lynell and all. Me too. Nice to read TC.

Damn. TCinLA sounds a disturbing alarm.
