I'm making peace with the fact that, one way or another, the USA probably won't exist for much longer. I can see the writing on the wall. Maybe it won't just be the end of the nation, but the world. Frankly, we deserve it. Every country has committed its sins. Some are worse than others. The USA, Israel, Germany, Russia, China, Japan, etc. Collectively we deserve the worst.

In April of last year, I had a dream that my daughter was once again in the children's hospital. She was hooked up to machines and either asleep or knocked out. Maybe she was recovering from another surgery. She was in regular clothes, so maybe not.

I stood next to the bed and looked out the window as I contemplated her situation. Suddenly, I heard air raid sirens and hear my father's voice either in the sky or over the hospital PA system. He said, "upon seeing the brilliant white light, put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye." Then a series of mushroom clouds rose up in the distance. The closest one was just far enough away to see it in its entirety. It was still much larger than my thumb.

I turned around and scooped my daughter up and gave her one last kiss on the cheek. "I love you so much," I said before everything turned white.

I woke up in a panic attack, unable to catch my breath. Despite that, in the dream I had felt calm. Completely at ease with what was going on.

Prophetic dreams run in my family. I've had more than I can count, and I suspect this was one of them.

I'm more worried about the calls to stockpile food and water than the threat of nuclear war. It feels like something is coming. The gen alpha 9/11. Don't be surprised if something big happens in the days after the election. I think they're planning something, and by "they," I don't mean Iran.
