We found hyperspace in 2105 and the Great Space Race began. Alliances, nations, corporations, and religions reached out for the stars and humanity spread beyond the Solar System. We learned the answer to one of the oldest questions of all time in 2205. Are we alone? They brought medicines with them that nearly wiped out diseases, and extended the human lifespan into the centuries. They helped us study advanced technologies, and we expanded our colonies hundreds of lightyears from Earth. It was a golden age that many thought would never end.

Jack grew up in a world at peace, his only interests, partying and girls. But then an alien sneak attack killed millions of Americans, and wiped out almost everything and everybody Jack knew. He volunteered to serve and kick the alien scum back to the other side of the galaxy. But the Marines wanted more than people looking for revenge, and cybernetic partners demanded a far higher commitment. If Jack wanted to earn his commission as a Marine Corps fighter pilot, he had to grow up. He had to let himself be forged into something stronger than he’d ever wanted to be. He had to live up to the name of his squadron.

Prison?

Will government people go to prison? I’m not holding my breath. We all know that we live in a world where government people can do terrible things to anybody using the strong arm of the government and get away with it. They have all my life, and I’m not expecting that to change.

Oh, they send us one little sacrificial lamb every once in a while. A government type who has fallen out of favor with the Democrat party. Or maybe a Republican who got a bit too mouthy with the wrong government employee in good standing. Sometimes someone gets a token few months probation or loses their law license for a year or three. But they rarely let good government types actually go to prison.

But this time a lifelong Democrat appears to be pushing for conspiracy prosecutions against a vast Democrat conspiracy. And do you know what this conspiracy did? It reached out across America to put political opponents in prison. To raid their houses. They left the comfortable confines on Washington DC and chased down opponents where they lived. In places like Florida. And a conspiracy can be sued wherever it takes place. That means we could get court cases outside the Washington Beltway, where there are no 90%+ Democrat populations devoted to making certain that good Democrats are not convicted of crimes.

If the Justice Department actually pursues cases outside the Beltway, the juries might just convict Democrats. And then we might actually see faithful government types going to prison. Might. I’m not holding my breath. Just… considering the possibilities of a brighter future where government types might go to prison for what they’ve done…

Treason?

It is not a small thing when a life-long Democrat accuses the last mentally-functional Democrat President of committing treason. It’s even bigger when she is the head of the Department of National Intelligence, brings the receipts, gives them to the Department of Justice, and calls for prosecutions. What happened?

According to what we are told, President Obama received a Presidential Daily Brief after the 2016 election that said the Russians did not hack the 2016 election that Trump won. He did not like that briefing and ordered another created that showed how they did it. Then the new briefing information was leaked to the news media, which started all the rumors of Trump belonging to Russia. Which caused the FBI investigation, which arrested some of Trump’s people, and mired the first Trump Administration in controversy and impeachments.

The charge is that President Obama used the intelligence agencies of America to sabotage his political opponent. And the word treason is used. This is not small. This is very big. Now I’m not going to say that people are going to do prison time. As we all know, we live in at least a two-tier justice system, where big wig Democrats don’t get charged for breaking the law. But if the receipts back the charges, this is one of the largest Presidential scandals of American history. We need to see the receipts, and if this true, people need to go to prison for the health of the Republic. Because if people can do this, be discovered to do have done it, and still walk free, our Republic is over.

Jack of Harts Substack

You may have noticed that I shared an unpublished short story on the paid side of my Jack of Harts substack last week. I intend to post another one this week, and a new one every other week from that point on. I have many stories that I’ve written, and I intend to write more in the future. Some of the stories will be new. Others will be old. Maybe even early access versions that may not reflect the final published versions. Some will be published in time. Others will have already been published. All will be available on substack in a way they are not available elsewhere. All will be behind the paywall for various legal and copyright reasons. But I will give generous preview space so you can check the story out enough to see if you are interested in it. I hope to see you on my jack of harts substack in the future.

Crowded Malls

I went to two different malls on Friday and Saturday. One in my hometown and one up in the Twin Cities in Minnesota. My own hometown mall has always been a mall that has prospered despite the general fall of malls throughout America. It has always been the one that was always busy and always crowded. It was the place people in my town went to always. On Friday at 6PM most of the parking lot was empty. And the people inside were… distant. I remember in the past we would have been dodging people every few steps. Now there were maybe a dozen people in an entire hallway. It was amazing just how few people were there. Some stores even closed at 5PM. The mall used to require that all stores remain open as long as the mall was open. Such is no longer the case.

And I went to the Mall of America on Saturday. There were a lot of people there, but we arrived at noon. In the past, before the Covid lockdowns, we would not have gotten a parking spot at that time. Now we had our pick of spots on one of the main parking floors. And while there were a lot of people there, and while we did have to dodge people every few steps, it was nothing like the past. I was able to walk up to Long John Silvers and buy some hushpuppies with only one person ahead of me. And we were able to walk through Camp Snoopy without any problems. The lines for the rides didn’t even overflow out into the main walking routes.

This is the first time I’ve been back to either mall during what should be a main shopping time since before the Covid lockdowns, and I did not realize how much traffic has dipped. It is a sad day for to see them so… uncrowded. Life is changing, and I do not like the way it is changing.

Government Criminals in Prison?

Are we going to see government criminals going to prison? I don’t know. I don’t exactly have a lot of hope for it, you understand. But I have more hope for it today than I did two days ago. I’ve never been a big truster of Tulsi Gabbard, but I’m willing to work with anyone who wants to work with me to make things better. So if Trump wanted to give her a chance, I supported him in that venture. We don’t make the coalition to save America bigger by telling people they can’t take part in it after all. But just because I was willing to give her a shot doesn’t mean I expected much out of her. I expected her to not do much and maybe get released in favor of someone who would do the job. But she has surprised me.

She just referred government officials who abused their office to subvert the will of the people to the justice department for prosecution. Now I don’t know if it will work. But I do know this. Government criminals need to go to prison for breaking the law if they are convicted. And they need to be prosecuted to be convicted. So this puts us closer to that than we have seen in a long time. And the future of our Republic depends on government officials knowing they will go to prison if they misuse the power they have to abuse the people. Because we can’t just allow them to do that without repercussions, or they will always abuse us when they get the chance.

And now I have some hope that we will see that. More hope than I had when the week began. And we shall see if my hope is born out as the days, weeks, and months go on ahead of us.
