First, thank you for your years of service. Certainly many more than my own.
I share your (and EMN's) sense of unease with the prospect of military involvement.
For two reasons.
🖸 Any kind of military action can get much messier than anticipated, and quickly. (Clausewitz, friction, and all that.)
🖸 I fear many of the three- and four-star people may be more concerned about their perks than defending the Constitution. I was not impressed, for example, with the quibbling of the CJCS about military involvement during the period in which there was widespread unrest on the streets of the USA, including the occupation of American territory by "autonomous collectives".
Clearly, defense of the Constitution against domestic enemies will be a measure unpopular with many people. That noted, if it is undertaken, those doing it need to be fully behind the operation and not seeking to remain 'acceptable' in the eyes of the media, the Democratic Party, or anybody else. Such an operation will be risky enough without flag rank officers being unsure if it is something they want to really be part of.
Cheers

INSTRUCTING PEOPLE NOT TO VOTE, WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?
What happens to the SENATE RUNOFF, if the GA courts rule fraud in the
GA GENERAL ELECTION (& it also corrupted some of the runoff candidates)?
Honestly, no idea what comes next, but expecting the unexpected.
With Trump's words to Ambassador Sondland still stuck in my head:
"I want nothing I want nothing I want no quid pro quo...
Do the right thing. This is the final word from Pres of the U.S."
Allowing FEAR to push us to a "win at all cost" - wrong path
FIGHT for what we believe is right with HONOR & INTEGRITY
Stay humble in victory; gracious in defeat to move forward together.
TEAM TRUMP = THIS IS NOT ANOTHER 4 YEAR ELECTION:
1. DEM LEADERS resorted to cheating to WIN AT ALL COST
(100% faith = this was anticipated & prepared for)
(expect more mind games until hammer falls = clean & swift)
2. FEAR used to put the 2020 election fraud plan in motion
(CV19, This is LIFE OR DEATH, TRUMP must be stopped at all cost)
3. Now the same FEAR is being used on us
(IF WE DON'T WIN THE SENATE WE ARE DOOMED; THEY ARE CHEATING)

Some thoughts on Jesus, it has always confused me how Jesus could have literally saved us. ie. what physical thing is the bible trying to explain. Again it could just be metaphysical, but I never could quite accept that. It can't just be "magic" that his life and death brought redemption to humanity.
My two sort of theories are a) Jesus effectively "invented" and inserted into the human consciousness, the idea of empathy. It's hard for us to imagine the world 2000 years ago, but frankly, unconditional love and feeling the pain that others do, is COMPLETELY anti survival. I can certainly imagine a world in which empathy didn't exist at all, in fact it would be the common sense foundation of physical life, to fight purely for your own survival. By living the life he led he showed humanity how to care for others and then to die for us was the physical manifestation of that love.
b) Going on from what you were saying regarding the feminine aspect being removed from Christianity over the last 2 millennia, I could definitely see any woman of Jesus being covered up. So the other idea would be that he physically injected the DNA of God into humanity by bearing children. This is obviously not a new idea (DaVinci Code anyone) and also brings up a lot of silly "racial superiority" issues, but could also explain the aristocracies obsession with bloodlines in the first place (although the Queen is a descendant of Mohammed and don't think she claims descent from Jesus!)

CISA ISSUES EMERGENCY DIRECTIVE TO MITIGATE THE COMPROMISE OF SOLARWINDS ORION NETWORK MANAGEMENT PRODUCTS
WASHINGTON – The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) tonight issued Emergency Directive 21-01, in response to a known compromise involving SolarWinds Orion products that are currently being exploited by malicious actors. This Emergency Directive calls on all federal civilian agencies to review their networks for indicators of compromise and disconnect or power down SolarWinds Orion products immediately.
“The compromise of SolarWinds’ Orion Network Management Products poses unacceptable risks to the security of federal networks,” said CISA Acting Director Brandon Wales. “Tonight’s directive is intended to mitigate potential compromises within federal civilian networks, and we urge all our partners—in the public and private sectors—to assess their exposure to this compromise and to secure their networks against any exploitation.”
This is the fifth Emergency Directive issued by CISA under the authorities granted by Congress in the Cybersecurity Act of 2015. All agencies operating SolarWinds products should provide a completion report to CISA by 12pm Eastern Standard Time on Monday December 14, 2020.

Dominion Voting Systems uses SolarWinds products and it is still not powered down.
Was Dominion Voting Systems a target?
Was Dominion Voting Systems hacked?

Google is having a MAJOR outage!
It just took out all the services my company uses. Can't even email my team, or use our company GChat, or Google Drive. Can't log into anything that uses Google Auth!

Sidney Powell has avoided the "No Standing" excuse used by the Supreme Court, by submitting 4 cases to SCOTUS with Plaintiffs who have skin in the game.

I think he's suggesting what I for one have worried about since day one - that Trump is controlled opposition.

It lasted about 20 minutes. That was probably the most significant outage Google has ever had.
