"Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle which fits them all."
Edmund Burke
“What they were doing was unconstitutional. Sometimes I worry that people take the oath of office or the oath to the Constitution, and it’s just a set of words that mean nothing. They really don’t feel in their heart the weight of those words. They [federal agents deployed by Trump] came out in this phalanx, running, and then they plowed into a bunch of protesters in the intersection of the street and knocked them over.
They came out to fight. I took a couple steps back, straightened up, and then just stood my ground right there, arms down by my side. They are thugs and goons. I couldn’t recognize anything tactically that they were attempting to do that was even remotely related to crowd control. It looked to me like a gang of guys with sticks. I’m not a redwood tree. I’m an overweight 53-year-old man.”
Christopher David, Navy veteran and peaceful protester, Portland, Oregon, July 2020
"You are of your father the devil, and your will is to fulfill your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks from his own character— for he is a liar and the father of lies."

Another typical stock option triple witch expiration today.
Gold and silver were slammed hard in the opening hour.
Stocks slumped, but were brought back to life into the close. Nearly unchanged.
The Dollar ticked higher a bit.
VIX declined.
Robbery, rape and murder en masse are the marks of those who worship power above all.
Need little, want less, love more. For those who abide in love abide in God, and God in them.
Have a pleasant weekend.
