As long as I'm able, I will respond to as many of the folks who take the time to read my writing as I can. I will be on the Power Hour next week :)

Yay! Maybe you could go on the show in disguise, so we could at least see a shadow or something? Dark hat, sunglasses, fake beard? Or maybe you have a real one... :)

The stark absurdity of Russia formally annexing major regions of Ukraine today, against a narrative backdrop of “Putin desperately trying to survive extinction”, borders on the surreal.

That bizarre fever dream is mirrored stateside by Maggie Habermann publishing, this week, a work of gothic fiction claiming to be an insider account of life in the Trump administration.

I don’t think there are enough psychiatrists or antidepressants on this planet which will required to reassemble the shattered brains and egos of our psychopathic overlords and their pundit minions, by the time this is all over. That will be a scene from peak Hieronymus Bosch.

Popcorn anyone?

It's a sneaky good point. A lot of these Bad Actors are psychologically damaged to the point of paranoia and sociopathy. We can pity them later. For now, we need to defeat them.

Popcorn... been a while since I actually went to a 'movie' as we used to call them.

But yes, now is definitely the time to find a good seat for the show.

It will be the blockbuster of all blockbusters, the most important story since the Life of Christ and the rise & fall of the Roman Empire.

We are blessed to find an expert of narrative in Burning Bright to act as our guide in this show.

And -- speaking of shrinks and antidepressants, remember to leave a few for the Normies, who will all be suffering from a severe case of Narrative Whiplash by the time this is all over.

Once again, such clarity is a gift. There is no way that a movement to save the world’s free people can occur without damages to the innocent. It is the price of war. Thank you for reminding us about the optimism we need to maintain as we’re experiencing this. The freedom from our enslavement will be worth it so mankind can have a true future. God bless you!

PS: It is exciting as no other known generation has seen the truths being revealed today.🙏

Thank you for your optimism.. However, these birthing pains our nation is going through right now is getting harder and harder to bare. I just can't believe sometimes what I'm seeing...

Try to hold on and ride out the storm. Seek out the steadiness of other Patriots. We'll get through it.

Thank you BB. I always find your words encouraging.

Reading through the Psalms is helping me so much lately. It's amazing how much David talks about his enemies persecuting him, asking God to destroy his enemies, etc. Could have been written today! Paul's letters too, with all that he suffered. Of course, God's word is timeless.

Pam, it's going to get worse before it gets better; but remember: it is always darkest before the dawn. Keep the faith, the final act is nearly upon us.

Thank you for the encouragement Sir... I'm just so weary and saddened for our country..

It's okay to unplug at times. It can get tough out there, but we will win.

That's normal; we all feel that way. Strength and courage in the company of fellow travelers will help give you courage, and strengthen your resolve. Stay Bright!

Hi...hi...hi... Burning Bright...I just have to echo all of these wonderful comments first, and now please hear what I have to say to you....I'm hoping that you are saving, collecting all your writings to bless us and the generations to come and compile them into a book. Why....not only this is a turning point in our lifetime, but I want my grandkids and their kids and so on to know how we got through it, and who helped us understand how this war was different from every other war in history. Burning Bright, my heart hurts for all those we lost along the way that will never see the outcome, but for future generations we all have a responsibility to write history the right way, with truth, courage, and with heart....thank you for all you bring to us and we will truly stay bright.

I appreciate this, and I do plan to write books on this movement in the future, for sure.

If and when I do, I'll let all of you lovely people know first :)

The dark fears the light. Always. Since the beginning of time.

John 1:5

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Matthew 5 (RSV):

14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. 15 Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Inspired work as always, BB. I feel the same way about living through this sprawling, epic work of poetry. Though it is a difficult period of history, it's worth the price of the "ticket". What an honor and a privilege to be alive in such a time as this.

Absolutely. We'll look back on these days with fondness, remembering the journey that brought us to the destination.

I believe, that God created a masterpiece when he created the world. God gave man the ultimate weapon to use against evil. He gave us free choice. After the great flood, Abraham lead the people out of the wilderness. The people became the slaves of the Egyptian‘s. Silly God, put a slave in the river, to save his people.

After 7000 years, God was frustrated and quite lonely. He realized one is a very lonely number. He had a commoner married to a Carpenter To teach the world. With the teachings of Jesus, he taught them that our God loved us.

Now, with free-choice, God provided us with free will and free thinking. In 2000 years I believe God has created many people of goodwill. And it is the people of Goodwill, that I have met around the world, that will save our country and our sovereignty for every country of goodwill. Yes it will be painful but it’s better than a big flood. I love you all.

🙏❤️🗳

Excellent. Thank you for your sometimes shadowy, and ultimately clear perspective. All this is happening because the God of truth, righteousness, and His SON who wrenched ultimate victory from ultimate tragedy to recreate His world, is ultimately in control. He is not the meek wizard behind the curtain, He is the sun rising above the dark horizon. We pray, we wait, we write, we trust. This is why we know your tale is true. Peace. Thank you.

Once again, WOW. I will have to read this again tomorrow, probably more than once. So much to think about. Thank you for the dose of positivity! I am a believer in Christ, and I know He is reigning over all things and I know the ultimate ending. But, I am weak, and sometimes it's pretty scary here in the world, living on retirement investments and watching the value of our money shrink, while prices of everything go up, etc etc etc. Two questions, Mr. Tiger, if you don't mind: 1) are you a Christian? and 2) Are you of Russian ancestry? Just curious. LOVE your "Righteous Russia" series, and plan to go back and read all of it again.

Expand full comment

Thank you, Margot.

1) I was Baptized, but I wasn't raised in the Church. I never really identified as Christian, but I probably do now, though I usually don't label myself that. I have come around to the teachings of Christ on a bit of a strange path, but believe there is much of it in what we're experiencing of late.

2) I am not of Russian ancestry. Irish. But I have been exposed to the culture, the people and have always been fascinated by the history. I felt compelled to begin the Righteous Russia series. Why? I really couldn't tell you.

"Why? I really couldn't tell you."

The Lord works in mysterious ways, Burning Bright. Sometimes we can see and feel it, sometimes it's just an urge to do something important. Like the battle fought in the mists over the lake, so is the battle for our souls between God and good, and Satan and evil. Sometimes all we can see is the ripples on the shore. But know that God is fighting for you and all of us, and He wins in the end.
