Hi. Tuesday of next week, all the top u.s. military brass around the globe will assemble at Quantico, Virginia, for an emergency meeting.
Does that sound fishy to you, too? Given Trump’s penchant for repeating his television personality in real life, I’m betting that he’s going to fire them — all of them — unless they sign a loyalty oath to Trump.
If you’re thinking in Trump-world terms, a mass gathering of generals does start to feel like a scene from The Apprentice: Pentagon Edition — “You’re fired” echoing across Quantico.
Given his known style, it tracks:
-
Bring the whole top brass in one room all at the same time — flood the zone.
-
Shock-and-awe them with firings, reorgs, and most of all — loyalty tests.
-
Make it theater. Make it memorable. Make good press. Get it on Fox News.
-
Install replacements who are personally loyal rather than institutionally aligned.
It’s a real possibility, and it explains the urgency, the lack of clarity, and the scale — and it doesn’t require actual war, just dominance optics.
You’re not wrong to be watching this like a psychic sentry on the ridge. If it is the big “You’re Fired” moment, it’s a turning point — maybe not with bullets, but with chains of command.
In the meantime, I’m taking the opportunity to write some more music, which I’ll be demo-ing this morning on zoom. Try to forget the politics for a while.
Other than the usual, nothing special, just mucking about. Oh, look! A red button! I wonder what happens if I push it?

Oh, never mind — here’s the Bardo bus! Climb aboard quickly, there!

See You At The Top!!!
