1) I went into DC last night to visit a girl I've been seeing. I met her from a dating app, due to the fact that bars are shut down, its hard to meet people.

As she's on top of me, she stops kissing me, looks me in the eyes and asks, "You didn't vote for Trump did you?"

2) I stared back at her for a brief moment, politely peeled her off of me. Then without a word, began putting my clothes and my shoes on.

She is frantically asking where I am going as I take the rest of the bottle of Syrah to the face.

I said "I can't see you anymore" and left.

3) On the journey home, I take the most beautiful road in the country, George Washington Memorial Parkway. Right on the bank of the Potomac.

For those familiar, there are many scenic overlooks on this road. I had an insatiable desire to stop and enjoy the brisk December evening.

4) As I sit on the stone wall overlooking the river, frogs croaking, Washington Monument peering over the trees in the distance, DC lights illuminating the sky; I became overwhelmed with emotion.

I gazed at Washington's monument, while I sit on his road, overlooking his city.

5) Eyes glossy, I contemplate the state of this country. How in God's name did We reach this point. What would Washington think?

I looked to the sky for answers. For a sign. Something.

Lo and behold, the biggest shooting star I've ever seen slices through the midnight sky.

6) I am not religious man, but this is the closest I've ever felt to God. So I gave prayer a chance for the first time since I was a child.

I asked God what is it that I am expected to do.

My business is crippled. My People are persecuted. My country is tainted with corruption.

7) As a man who swore an Oath to defend The Constitution from ALL THREATS FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC, how am I expected to sit idly by and watch darkness descend over the greatest nation the world has ever known? My country.

And in that moment, I was given the gift of sight. A vision.

8) In order to vanquish the evil that lurks in the shadows, We must bring it into the light.

Simply eliminating a formless entity without the People knowing [they] existed, does NOT protect the future from the same fate.

Illumination is the only way. Rather apropos, no?

9) Essentially, I was told this is not over.

Just as I was meant to see something as I peered into the DC sky; the world is meant to see something to safeguard the future from making the same mistakes of the past.

"Only at the precipice, do people find the will change."

10) I do not know what will happen. I do not know what Trump plans to do. However, I do know, on Jan 20th, Trump will remain in office.

In due time, all of us will see what it is we are meant to see. The darkness will be brought into the light, and in the end... God wins.
