Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
I then made the mistake of looking at my news feed, and saw the following atrocity posted by President Trump on his Truth Social Account.
On this most sacred day of the Christian faith, a US president who claims to be a Christian issues a threat to a nation of 94 million people, including over 500,000, Christians—threatening to commit war crimes (pursuant to Geneva Convention) against their civilian infrastructure.

Upon seeing this post, I immediately thought of Madison’s reflections on the evil of war.
