Funny thing about great minds for just a few days ago it dawned on me that this was the first general election since the Covid pandemic. It seems, at least to me, it was a hundred years ago. The damage that was done to the society is incalculable in terms of long range effects. Rites of passage, from visiting newborn members of a family, to proms, to funerals were thwarted. People were unable to say goodbye to loved ones. Graduations were cancelled. Very, very devastating in ways I often wonder if the rest of the populace realizes.

Throw in two presidential impeachments, in which the target/president was acquitted, and impeachment of the head of "Homeland Security," (three impeachments in less than 100 months), "rigged" elections (claimed by both parties of the political duopoly) January 6th, so-called "Black Lives Matter" and its impact (or lack thereof), Black People eating house pets, multiple presidential candidate assassination "attempts," the ONLY former president to become president again since Grover Cleveland and the nation has been battered in historical ways.

In boxing, one learns to "kill the body, and the head will die." The jab is the weapon; you keep throwing it and body shots until your opponent is distracted and flustered...then you lower the boom to the head (the right hand/power shot). Chances are, he will meet the canvas.

Another pandemic is quite a possibility. However, as the next 24 months pass, we will soon learn that a pandemic is the very least of problems to contend with. The stage will be dominated by global events that most of us cannot fathom. Just as we could not fathom Covid and its consequences.

The right hand is coming.

Your analogy may be too true. I was thinking that if I was Putin my timing would be invade Poland the Baltics the day Trump is inaugurated. He wouldn't have a clue what to do.
