Democracy Nonsense
If we live in a democracy (many people say so), when do we vote on decades of undeclared/unwon DOD wars?

Terror Plot Solved By FBI
Out of New York:
“Jessica Bowie, 35, of Albany, allegedly told a confidential source that she supported ISIS and asked for help learning to make explosives…”
The Hill
Out of Michigan:
“A former member of Michigan’s Army National Guard was arrested for allegedly plotting to carry out an ISIS-inspired mass attack on a military facility near Detroit, according to newly unsealed court records.”
“Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, 19, allegedly engaged in detailed attack planning to carry out a mass shooting at the U.S. Army’s Tank-Automotive & Armaments Command, or TACOM, facility in Warren, including communicating with two individuals “purporting to be fellow ISIS supporters” he was unaware were actually undercover law enforcement officers, according to a federal criminal complaint.”

Regular crimes like bank robberies and moving fentanyl into Seattle roll on.
