You’ve all seen the screaming toddler in the grocery store. Or the department store. The shrieking spawn of a devil throwing toys or groceries around because his or her mother said “no” to something they wanted. The toddler is giving their parent a Decision Dilemma. They are screaming loud enough the entire store can hear and watch, and making the parent consider their actions. Give in and let the little terrorist have what they want just to quiet them down, or spank them in public and be labeled a child abuser. Or drag them out to the car and have the police called on them for kidnapping a terrified screaming child. The parent has no good choice, but plenty of bad ones, and the toddler is banking on the parent just wanting to shut them up and giving them what they want. That is the Decision Dilemma.

Leftist Democrats have spent the last four years shoveling between 12 and 20 million illegal aliens into America and shipping them off to big cities all over the nation. Giving them food and lodging on our dime, making certain they don’t spend time in jail if they break the law, and otherwise doing everything they can to make the illegal aliens welcome in America. And now Trump has the audacity to want to stop the free stuff and send ICE into these big cities to arrest and deport the absolute worst of them. The gang members. The rapists. The murderers. Murder rates have dropped by something like half in Colorado after the first major push there. And now Trump has sent ICE into Los Angeles to arrest members committing large money laundering schemes and other cartel activity. Sounds similar to the recent drug raid that Leftist Democrats screamed about in Minneapolis. The response in Los Angeles was well-funded “community activists” moving in with pre-printed signs to initiate “mostly peaceful protests” in Los Angeles. This is Leftist Democrat speak for “torch the cars, loot the stores, burn down the buildings, and assault law enforcement officers.”

And this is a Decision Dilemma. Does Trump stand down the military as Leftist Democrats demand while they are telling their activists to keep on “mostly peacefully protesting” and just burn Los Angeles down. Again. After the Los Angeles mayor already oversaw the wild fires that burned Los Angeles down because there wasn’t enough water in the fire hydrants. Or does he send in the troops to stop the little terrorists from burning the city down? We all know how the main stream media and the Democrats, but I repeat myself, will report on either choice. Trump is either the evil man who provoked them into burning the city down to protest his evil ways, or he is the evil man who sent troops to squash “mostly peaceful protestors.” Which makes him even eviler.

This is the Decision Dilemma. As any honest parent will tell you when it comes to negotiating with a screaming toddler, you can never negotiate with terrorists. You either give in to their demands or you spank them until they stop screaming. The old “if you don’t stop crying, I’m going to give you something to cry about.” This is the Decision Dilemma Leftist Democrat leaders have created for us all.

I put another story in the can today. It was a major rework of an existing story. I figured it would just take a minor tweak. It was more a major revision. I once again asked Grok to analyze once done and it did good. Some rabbit holes again. It really doesn’t like my style of emphasizing certain points or character thoughts. It also really doesn’t like me writing the character looking into people’s eyes to see if they are shocked or fearful or whatever. But it does good with other stuff. It is certainly a good tool to use to check for weaknesses in a story. I like it.

On this day, before most of us were born, uncommon valor filled uncommon men and they rode into hell. It is my prayer that their equal be found in this generation.
