Also reminiscent of martial law Poland are White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s briefings with the press. I look at her with the same disbelief, scorn, and disgust as I did at the Polish military’s spokesman back in the day. But joining those emotions is sadness, for this is my country now, and it’s not under the control of a mighty communist neighbor, it’s ruled by a man who has no redeeming qualities as a human being, let alone as a leader.
