The last time I was in London, I had the opportunity to visit the Churchill War Rooms. A fully-immersive WWII experience. Churchill essentially ran the war from the underground bunker, situated underneath Whitehall, accessed through the Treasury Building.

Churchill was a leader non pareil. A grand orator.

Ron DeSatan is a clown. A legend in his own mind. I find it difficult to believe that people take him seriously. A man with the personality of a Roomba (a recent quote from a columnist) and the charisma of linoleum (Michael Hiltzik in the LA Times).

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win" - Mahatma Gandhi. This now truism works both ways. Be careful of DeSantis. He may be actively filing off his own cogs of reason, but his brand of crazy is still a Yale and Harvard educated one.

Hear!Hear!

Never underestimate the enemy. Correct! The subtle following is clever too, hidden in many a sheep’s clothing, and as determined as US. Too many subscribe to this cult , The Contagion , The Corporate mentality and muscle of many rich.

We must prevail , persist , persevere .

I’m thinking that the finest learning institution in the world could not penetrate such a dense mind except to drive it deeper into the oblivion of insanity. He emerged a psychopath. A close friend of mine with his sheepskin from Harvard also descended into the oblivion of insanity and has since passed.

Perfect. I read DeSantis' "woke" comments and marvel at the banal, but evil, dopiness of it all.

DeSantis speaks to a level of understanding and support. Sad, isn’t it?
