Some consider the Nation’s Capital as “Fantasyland on the Potomac”. Other outsiders are “Fed Up” with the Federal City. It's better to consider D.C. as “the District of Calamity” (sic).

Tales of Totalitarianism-Restricting Religious Liberty
GBTV showed a special featuring oral histories on how Communism affected ordinary citizen with their necks under the boot of the state.
A poignant segment of this show on Communism is how religious liberty can be restricted by an overbearing totalitarian irrelegious state.
We should not simply dismiss these tales as distant blasts from the past. Nor should it be laughed off as Sinclair Lewis' satire It Can't Happen Here. As George Santayana wrote, "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Opinions from the Oval- The Imperial City
This is the first episode segment from GBTV "The Oval". It is promoted as being as the speech that should be given from the Oval Office.
The message should appeal to libertarians and conservatives. But it is likely that a strain of BDS will cause a cacophony that shouts down the message.
Still, I recommend watching and reflecting upon the video. It would be wise to take the District of Calamity from being the Imperial City to a sleepy swampy backwater where nothing much seems to happen, just as our Founders intended.
