When the lies collapse, voters don’t whisper; they revolt. From small suburbs to the big cities, the truth is finally rising, drowning out the GOP fearmongering that once held this country hostage.
Bravo bravo bravo well said as always. I loved the proverb and so glad to see it's finally coming true. Getting Trump and his horrible regime ousted from our lives forever, can't come quick enough. And I think the nation now that they have found their strength will get rid of each one as they step forward to try and continue the b******* of making America great again. Watch out JD you're next.
I'm never going to forget that proverb!! We, the Americans, are finally standing up and it feels good! It's like a muscle we forgot we had and we're finally using it.
I look forward to your writings. You so clearly, so concisely, write to be understood. You have learned from your experiences and it shows. Its not the falling down that's the problem, its the staying down. I, for one, appreciate your posts, congrats to you. I hope you continue to encourage.
The perceptions are changing, and as some cheer each other on, maybe through health issues, as we have new revelations through the writings. Maybe through our own pain we encourage and share, terrified to wake up. Maybe we scream for our fellow Americans, less fortunate.
So many forms of courage to move the needle to higher selves, against the worst.

What a great post Michael! The people have spoken, have finally realized that his intention was not to make this country great again, it was to tear it down and turn citizens against each other. The great divide. I love the proverb. I love your resilience and the resilience of this country. We the people can save Democracy!
Thank you, Michael. While I have long been aware of the quotation, “The truth will out.”, which is from Shakespeare’s “Merchant of Venice”, I was not aware of the beautiful proverb you shared.
Thank you for your work to help make truth known and to help restore the honesty, peace, fairness, kindness, and to restore democracy within our republic.
The Sun, the Moon and the TRUTH! I lived in Aurora, CO for many years. Talk about exaggerated lies when Trump blew that all up. I’m thankful more are seeing the TRUTH. Now CBP is near where I live in Charlotte. It’s disheartening to read hate-filled MAGA posts on FB like “round them up,” but I Know the truth will prevail and goodness will eventually win. I’m not letting up. More protests next week including a Silent one on fascism and Bridge brigade. We have to KEEP GOING.
I lived in Chicago for much of my life and my heart went out to the city for what it has had to deal with. And now, it's moved to Charlotte. Please stay strong. Develop your community resources. Learn how to protest with dignity and peace. Know your rights. And, resist. Never, ever give in to these losers who think ICE is great. They are on the wrong side of history. Maybe, someday they will repent of their sins.
Always a great factual read that inspires us all!🙏🏻💙👊🏻💪🏻🇺🇸 All you people please read Michael’s 2-books Disloyal & Revenge & you’ll get an accurate, factual description on how this corrupt Administration worked, and is still working. Get involved, Unite! Be one Huge voice, We shall defeat this Fascist regime project 2025. 👊🏻💪🏻🙏🏻💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Or the Constitution & all your Freedoms will be gone!!!!
Great post and so true. Truth always rises over lies. Truth is honesty, while lies are deceitful. I cannot, for the life of me, understand how this administration could even believe that people would not see the lies that are intended for them, when they are the ones being affected by those lies. More and more people will see thru them and have to admit what is happening. When they can no longer afford food or to pay their rent, or put any money away for a rainy day. With the Christmas season coming up, many will find that they can't buy the presents that they usually bought for their families. Friends will not get presents from friends, because their families will have to come first. Traditions will be broken, not from Covid, but from lies. They will see that Covid did not make them poor, but that the president did, while making him, his friends, his family richer. They will see that he is taking from the poor to give to the rich and they will not like it. They will see that he is turning our country into a sewer - our country - not his. A country that is only for the rich, the liars and the corrupt.
Thanks, Michael! Love the quote. More to it though. The truth must be acknowledged to come full circle. We are living in an America where the truth has been ignored and/or replaced with lies, misinformation and conspiracy theories. Hopefully, more Americans that have been MAGA will pay heed and turn on the con man in the White House and all of his enablers.
It seems so dark right now..especially with the doj workaround to stop the files showing the truth.. how do we checkmate that doj move? we need a "pentagon papers" person to release them all in an "oops" moment since this ham fisted government seems to have many many "oops" moments it wouldn't even be surprising
If true, this is absolutely momentous because it means that Trump's uncanny ability to distort truth is coming to an end after sixty-odd years. Perhaps, like Caesar and Napoleon before him, he just wasn't able to master events forever. We knew Time would come for him eventually, but if he lives to see his empire of lies crumble--and has to live out his days as a disgraced monarch, much like George III after the colonies and France astonishingly routed the Crown--that would be a wonderful spectacle to behold.
Assuming, of course, that he doesn't decide to run this ship aground, metaphorically, and assuming he is unable to pull off electoral skullduggery in 2026.
If he has to eat crow daily, whilst the wraith with the sickle haunts his remaining days, we will have some justice at last. Too many will have suffered, for sure, and like Rome after Caesar's murder we will look around us and ask, "How did this all happen??"
But if the Republic survives, we will have proven our mettle to our forbears.
"They [Americans] realized they were being used as extras in someone else’s political film."
Exactly right, great post.
Project 2025 is a twisted script written by twisted people, and we are having none of it.
Now let's get organized, and write the script we want for "...ourselves and our posterity".

Michael, love your theme from the Buddhist proverb. Your vision has started my day with some hope about our future. Thank you!
This is a fantastic article. Thank you Michael !
