Jack of Harts

The politics of Jack of Harts is organized around the idea that there are three great powers. The Russians and Chinese are highly centralized polities, with all power flowing from the capitals to the outer districts and colonies. They have centralized economies and laws independent of all foreign influence. And given their history with the Rogue AIs, they do NOT LIKE sentient AIs. The Western Alliance is highly decentralized, with every Nation State charting their own course. Their distributed economies are in constant competition with each other and other powers. They are economically and militarily a match for any other power, and constantly seek to keep the other powers from uniting against them. South America is a growing power, but no rival to the others.

So I spent time in the hospital. My dad got an infection that probably would have killed him in any other world. But we have the Mayo Clinic here, and they pumped him full of antibiotics until they cleared the infection and got him functional again. I went back to the hospital for the first time since Mom died, and that was not really very easy. I am both mentally and physically drained from that. My dad got better and they sent him home. He is still weak though, so he will have to be careful for the next few days to make certain he continues improving. He should be sleeping a lot going forward. Infections suck.

Trump ran for election on the idea of closing the border and stopping illegal aliens from entering America, and then he tried to do it. Biden ran promising to open the border again, and he did it on day one. Now Biden says that he needs Congress to write a new bill to give him the power to close the border. He is lying and everybody knows it. If the Biden administration wanted to close the border, they could. They don’t want to. They say Trump’s border was broken because they don’t want to stop illegal immigration. They want to process it. They want the mass migration of new peoples into America. They have said so, on camera, for years. What they don’t want is for us to see it. And they absolutely don’t want entire States declaring it an #Invasion.
