I’ve been discussing something with the Kiln of the Soul community over the past week. I still take seriously my conviction that the federal government will bog down in partisan disputes. Because of this, the real focus of activity will be the with the individual states. Moreover, there will be a lot more conflict between state and federal governments.
Thus, I’ll be investing more time in watching the politics here in Oklahoma where I live. I’ve been ignoring it for a very long time, but the focus of my mission will be here now. I’ve changed out my primary computer system to match that focus — a desktop instead of a laptop. I’ll be traveling a lot less out of state.
Oklahoma remains a very Red state. Even though it is a rabid Zionist place, the attitude has been to leave us alone unless we cause trouble. Verbal dissent is generally protected here. We have always had a few Blue districts and nobody went to jail for alleged antisemitism. If any of that changes, it will be worth reporting.
I realize that most of my audience has been nationwide, and even global. I will surely keep commenting on national and international stuff as warranted. However, you will likely see more local stuff. Indeed, I encourage everyone to keep track of what their own states and local governments are doing. Let’s compare notes. Some states will become flashpoints for conflict as the parties seek to break rules and laws to remain in power.
The Blue US Congress is already talking quite loudly about changing things to prevent any kind of turnover back to the Red side. Things are going to get busy all over.
