Day of the Iron Crown, 9th of Hagwinter, 526 M.E. (Betelgeuse): The Blue Wave, Blue Tsunami, Blue Enema, or whatever you call it, is feeling more and more each day like one of those transformative historical events not unlike the first election of President Obama in 2008 or the fall on the Berlin Wall in 1989.

Newly elected members of Congress showed up in Washington today, and outgoing Republican Senator Thomas Massie introduced a measure to force a vote on the impeachment of Pete Hegseth, the Stable Genius' black-out drunk Secretary of Defense. But even as Washington D.C. officials are pushing newly elected Democratic governors to pull the National Guard troops sent by their Republican predecessors back home, Pete has authorized an expansion of National Guard operations in the Capitol, including military-style vehicles, patrol boats, and police cars. 

The Stable Genius himself, after initially receiving the news of the Blue Whatever with surprising grace, has finally gotten around to claiming the election was somehow rigged. He also replaced his Chief of Staff with Stephen Miller, probably his most extreme, most hard-line supporter. Might Stephen have convinced him to make the unsubstantiated "rigged" claim,. and could Pete have increased the military presence on the streets of D.C. in anticipation of the next move planned by the Stable Genius? 

Those who though the united snakes was going to transition seamlessly into a blue utopia after the overwhelming election may be in for a rude surprise. Power doesn't politely step aside when asked to. Also, Schumer and Jeffries have to go. It's not a time to go back to the failed policies and policies that gave rise to MAGA, it's time for new leadership to lead us on to a new way of governance. 

I walked a full Adams today. 2.0 miles. Third walk in a row. No negative health effects, at least as far as I could tell, but it got me out of the house and gave my lungs some fresh air. 

I'm going for a Jefferson tomorrow.
