It may feel like we're standing still, but astronomers have determined that our galaxy, the Milky Way, is spinning at 500,000 mph. We're spinning along as if nothing is happening. But American politics seem to be spinning out of control: There was the assassination attempt with Mr. Trump shot. Leaders telling Biden to step down from the presidential race. V.P. Harris appointed the presidential candidate. The director of the Secret Service resigned. A Worldwide billion-dollar disruption of the internet. Russian & Chinese military aircraft turned away from Alaska. But don't worry, Machine Politics is still working.
