You've seen this before or read about it in history books - countries taking sides - those who want freedom and democracy - and the others. An alliance of authoritarian powers is working together against Western democracies, the head of Nato has warned - Russia, Iran, China and North Korea increasingly aligned. Israeli conflicts with Iran and Gaza escalate. I knew this would go regional. Violence has become a cornerstone in the Human Experiment as it evolves out of existence.

Saturday night I watched the next chapter in the Middle East conflicts play out on TV. Israel says Iran confrontation not over yet after shooting down drones from Tehran. Earlier in the I had a vision of foreign aircraft flying overhead towards Manhattan as I sat here and watched. For a moment it took me back to 9/11.

Sunday my family chose to meet and spend the day at Oculus - World Trade Center

Along the way I drove past the courthouse where Trump's first criminal trial began Monday.

It's all connected.
