"The call is coming from inside the house"

 The phrase “the call is coming from inside the house” is a well-known line from horror films and urban legends, most famously featured in the 1979 movie “When a Stranger Calls.” This chilling twist has become a hallmark of suspenseful storytelling, tapping into the fear of danger lurking closer than expected. (things visible and invisible)

‘Worst of the worst?’: The Trump administration has lost the narrative in Minneapolis. The visuals the American people see every day, on social media or on the news, do not match what federal officials are telling them to believe. (MS NOW)

Rapists, Gang Members, Criminals of all kinds, even Pedophiles, these are the people, Nazi Kristi Noam, Stephen Himmler Miller, and Pervert 43 Count Rapist Trump, have been shouting out to tout their version of cover-up and Fascism to the dupes within the American population, full of bigotry, racism, hate, and ignorance.

Via the profiteers of FOX (state-run media) and people like useless Podcasters such as Joe Rogan, the peons, the peasants, and the poorly educated lap up such bull shit, hoping that as long as there is someone else designated as the enemy, they will never have to be found out as the fools they truly are. (As an aside, no matter what excuse you use or have used for voting for Trump, and now disavow, it still keeps you as one of those people.)

The call is coming from inside the house, as in the White House, where the real, sinister, and insidious malignant behavior is thriving and has originated. The one thing Trump and his spineless sycophants do well, or to be best at, as Melania says is project their own crimes!

 

 

Just Saying

 Melania Trump delivered a speech at the White House where she emphasized the importance of ambition and creativity, inviting Americans to celebrate those who think differently. She also discussed her initiatives, including the "Fostering the Future" program, aimed at supporting youth transitioning out of foster care. (The White House)

I have zero problem with any career path any person has taken. Often, the sheer weight of trying to just exist forces us to take on jobs that allow us to eke out a living. There is no shame in the fact that too many times we find ourselves in the position of working at jobs that we might feel are demeaning or work at jobs that others think are below their own self-righteous standards. 

I think if you are a sex worker, prostituting yourself, I have no right to condemn you or to criticize you. You are you, and you do what is necessary to survive. But when you find the fortune to have picked yourself up by some kind of bootstrap, and suddenly find you have more power than ever expected, I might suggest, that you decide to do your best to assist others to, in fact find ways to make their lives better, whether you had to prostitute yourself to do so or not.

So here is the THINGIE, Melania, and Jeff, (how far up Trump’s ass do I need to climb, Bezos, maybe just maybe the $75 million propaganda film you made, could have found that money to, as Melania often hypocritically states, could be better spent, actually helping those in America who have not been as successful in prostrating themselves as you and Jeff Bezos have.

Maybe, just maybe, if either one of you gave even a nanosecond of a fuck about it, that $75 million could have paid for health care, school nutrition, housing, and education. 

So, Melania, girlfriend, and Jeff Bezos, ass licker, shut the fuck up about the Melania Movie, and enjoy the criticism you deserve for being nothing but a very poor role model of America!

 

REMEMBER

 Okay, it is time for my screaming commentary, so I will use all caps.

NONE OF THE HORRORS AMERICANS HAVE ENDURED SINCE TRUMP’S SECOND TERM WOULD BE TAKING PLACE, IF IN FACT THE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY IN CONGRESS DECIDED THAT DEMOCRACY MATTERED MORE THAN THEIR POLITICAL POWER.

ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THIS. OF COURSE HAD THE REPUBLCIANS UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE CRYPT KEEPER MCCONNELL DONE THEIR DUE DILLIGENCE DURING THE FIRST REIGN OF TRUMP TERROR, WE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO ENDURE OUR CURRENT STATE OF DYSTOPIA.

SO, WHEN WE ARE SO EAGER TO BLAME ALL OF THIS PUTIN-INSPIRED ANGST ON TRUMP, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT, IN FACT, WITHOUT REPUBLICAN PERMISSION, NONE OF THIS TYRANNY AND FASCISM WOULD BE HAPPENING.

AS TRUMP USUALLY ENDS HIS TRUTH SOCIAL BULL SHIT AND LIES, THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

 

No free speech for you

 “Florida bans nurse for TikTok post about Trump's press secretary”

“When the Attorney General and Surgeon General of Florida involve themselves in matters affecting a single private citizen, that represents an extraordinary level of state involvement.,” according to the GoFundMe account. “Lexie did not commit malpractice, harm a patient, or have any prior complaints. She has ten years of nursing with zero disciplinary history. She spoke off the clock, as a private citizen. Following that speech, she lost her job, and the state is now moving to take her nursing license. We are now fighting not just for her livelihood, but for the principle that professional licenses should not be used in ways that chill or deter lawful speech.” (USA Today)

It is no longer a matter of free speech; it becomes a matter of who is allowed to speak and who is not toeing the Trump Reich’s policy of no criticism of the Führer or any of his Fascist Gestapo. 

If it is not Newsmax, or FOX State Run Media, and now sadly CBS under the direction of yet another Trump accolade, Bari Weiss, reporting on the Trump Reich and his anti-American Secret Police, it is identified as Fake News. Now we watch and witness how those Banana Republican Nazi accommodating Red states, run by their own Republican Dictator Governors and Legislatures, have decided that FREE SPEECH is only afforded for those who prefer that their freedoms be owned and operated by the rules and regulations of the Fascist-In-Chief, Trump.

I have stated before and will repeat it again, this state-run censorship is the only actual Republican Trickle Down policy that actually “trickles down!”

 

 

The Midnight hour in Amerika

 The Doomsday Clock is a symbolic clock created by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists to represent how close humanity is to a global catastrophe, with midnight symbolizing annihilation. It is adjusted annually based on threats like nuclear weapons, climate change, and disruptive technologies. (Encyclopedia Britannica) 

Hey America, we are experiencing our homemade national doomsday clock, and it is very, very, very close to hitting midnight. The American Doomsday Clock started spiraling towards midnight, the moment Trump was sworn in as President for his second Reich.

The Republicans could have pushed that minute hand way far back if they had given any shits during his first term, when impeaching him would have been the right way to treat his crimes, but they preferred their political careers above all else. The Republicans, as the majority in Congress, could have pushed the minute hand back even further had they actually stopped protecting pedophiles and protected morality and justice, but they didn’t. The Republicans could have moved the minute hand back if they had the balls to invoke the 25^th Amendment due to the erratic and disturbing mental decline and actions of Trump, but they didn’t.

There will be no midterms, nope, the midnight hour is now nearer and nearer, as Trump plots his latest attempt to stifle our democracy right in front of our eyes.

FBI agents searched the county elections office near Atlanta on Wednesday and seized 700 boxes of materials related to the 2020 election, county officials said. The search comes amid lingering political tensions over President Donald Trump’s repeated, unfounded claims that the 2020 election was rigged — particularly in Georgia, a state where he narrowly lost. (MS NOW)

So now the Injustice Department is stealing voter registrations, the Trump Reich has mandated that Republican states gerrymander all of their districts, the National Guard has already made its presence in blue cities, and states, The Trump Gestapo, ICE, has kidnapped and murdered protestors. Trump knows that if he loses the Midterms he will actually be accountable for his crimes, and Trump fears prison.

So, here we have one more projection of Trump protecting himself, and his projection of how he plans to fuck the Democratic process of elections, sooner than later. It is almost the midnight hour in America!

 

 

 

Still the SAME

 Herr Trump is once again playing let’s pretend. His band of SS, and their Gestapo Lieutenants, are playing a con game with the public, and this person, me, is not buying any of the snake oil being delivered.

If Trump truly cared about the murders of American citizens, he would have demanded a cease and desist order, and all of his paramilitary domestic terrorists would have stopped their murderous rampage. If Trump did not delight in the trauma, pain, and distress he had demanded in the first place, there would not have been the murder of Renee Good, let alone the second murder of Alex Pretti. Nope, none of the death and destruction matters for Trump, but his White House henchmen and women have become more worried about Trump’s low polling numbers, so, without further ado, they feign morals and values, and pretend that there will be a shift in the crimes committed by ICE, on behalf of Adolph Trump!

And if the majority Party in Congress had spines, or a conscience, or even an ounce of Democratic Principles, they would have stepped in long before the death of Ms. Good or Mr. Pretti and demanded the end to the savage machinations of Trump’s paramilitary organization, ICE. But like Trump, what has got to at least some of the Republican Fascists is the polling numbers. Their jobs might be at jeopardy, so they suddenly pretend to give a shit.

So, we may see Krist (but I was just following orders), Noam disappear, and the Republicans and Trump will pat themselves on the back, but guess what, ICE is still owned and operated by Stephen Himmler Miller, and their heinous tactics are still approved by Adoplh Trump, so nothing much will really change. Don’t be fooled by this smoke and mirror bull shit! 

 

SHE, says, SHE was just following orders!!!!!

 Noem Says ‘Everything I’ve Done’ Has Been Directed by Trump and Stephen Miller. (Media-ITE).

Well, my fellow Americans, with this latest excuse by the Mistress of Doom, Kristi Noam, we as a nation have witnessed a full circle of Fascism arriving in America, planting itself firmly within the Republican Party and now demonstrably showcased by Ms. Cosplay Noam, in the form of “I WAS JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS.

Yeppers, Noam the Hun, admitted that everything she has done had been directed by Adolph Trump and Stephen Himmler Miller. Noam The Terrible, just admitted that even if she had to lie, had to cover up the truth, had to deny the facts to please her MASTERS, she gladly did so. 

So, once again, Noam The Awful made it clear that she gives no shits about the truth. That if it comes to stating the facts or keeping her in power, she will decisively rely on the lie. Her allegiance is to the Führer, and his sidekick, Himmler, is above and beyond any morals or values, the Constitution, or Democracy.

The Nazi mentality is clearly stated by yet one more Trump Reich Fascist. 

And, but of course

 White House hangs members of Trump’s own team out to dry after Pretti killing. The White House reinforced concerns about chaos within the administration by distancing the president from prominent members of his operation. (MS NOW)

Well, why not? Trump is following his Nazi-ification of the US, and of course, in this phase of Trump Fascism, we have the part where the Führer feigns any knowledge of his trickle-down policies, and hides in the shadows while his subordinates, those sworn to follow his orders, willingly, become the scapegoats for all of the evil and insidiousness.

And of course, no one would have been thrown under the Trump Nazi bus, had Americans not finally realized that ICE and its cohort of criminals were the true murderers, rapists, kidnappers, and worst of the worst.

It is not new, nor a secret, of course, that Trump never ever takes responsibility for his crimes, and by not taking responsibility, always needs a few scapegoats to appease the critics, and because it is not new, the real irony of this is, that those who do the dirty work, are now the recipients of having the dirty work done to them!

Of course, like Hitlers Nazi’s Nazis, Trump’s Nazi’s are beginning the stage of declaring that “I WAS JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS”, as if that is a moral and just reason for their crimes!

 

 

 

Still breaking the law

 “Trump aides declared 16 DHS shootings since July justified before probes completed. The Trump administration’s rush to defend the officers and accuse the victims of attacking them has sparked widespread outrage and demands for accountability.” (The Washington Post)

But of course, more bull shit spewing from the anal opening of Trump, oozing into the mouth of his private attorney Pam Bondi, and seeping down into the lives of Americans who are supposed to obey the law, but only the interpretation of the law as the Trump Reich sees fit to follow. This, Republicans, is called “Trickle Down”, not the other bull shit that your idol, Ronnie Reagan, had professed.

Wide-spread outrage, but the question must be asked by whom, and from whom? So far, the silence from the spineless and lawless Republican majority in Congress seems not to be worried that the US Justice System is becoming as fucked up as Trump University, Trump Casinos, Trump Steaks, and Trump Economy. No, this group of Pedophile Protectors and Murder Protectors seems quite comfortable saving their own political asses, rather than the lives of the innocent.

Bondi is still breaking the law by not providing all of the Epstein Files, and nothing has been done with any great earnest to either arrest her or impeach her, and we are to believe that this criminal can and should and continues to handle the corrupt lawlessness and murderous ways of ICE. 

 

 

 

Why has it taken so long?

 “The killing of a second U.S. citizen by federal agents in Minneapolis is sharply complicating efforts to avert another government shutdown in Washington as Democrats — and some Republicans — view the episode as a tipping point in the debate over the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies.” (Los Angeles Times)

I am still uncertain about the purpose and rationale for the new Trump-ized version of ICE. I know Trump has proclaimed that the worst of the worst, the drug cartels, the drug dealers, the rapists, are why we must have a steroidal version of ICE, and having nothing else to offer the public except to promote fear and loathing, I understand why Trump is insistent on all of this…but as I just wrote, I, as an American citizen have not witnessed any of the so called original intentions for this iteration of ICE, to be true. Instead, what I have viewed from the safety of my perch is that almost anybody else, but the worst of the worst, are being harassed, kidnapped, and expelled from the US. I did not get it then, and I still do not get it now.

But it seems, sadly, that it took two murders by ICE agents, who so far have faced ZERO criminal charges, for all of this Trump’s intentional “look over there,” bull shit to finally initiate some ire and disdain by members of Congress. Yeah, the Dems have been loud, but in the land of Republican Hypocrisy and Double Standards, loud doesn’t do the trick. Actions that speak louder than words usually work better.

And finally, albeit a very small handful of Republicans, are making it seem that they, too, are aware of the disingenuousness of Trump and his lies about removing the worst of the worst and actually do care about law and order, right from wrong.

So, here we go again with the Dems' promise: unless ICE is changed, they will not allow the budget process to proceed. And here we go again with a tiny handful of Republicans pretending, so their voters actually think they have a conscience, that they, too, care about the lives of those living in America. My question as a person who takes morals and values as traits that actually make us human…why the fact has it taken so long to do so!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Perhaps the last chance

 This week, the Senate is meeting to vote on six government funding bills ahead of a Jan. 30 government shutdown deadline. If Congress now renews the ICE budget with no strings attached, it will become complicit in the violence, violations of rights, and chaos ICE is fomenting every day. (MS NOW)

There are fleeting moments, so it seems, ever since Trump was somehow elected as President, and that somehow, the Republicans in both chambers of Congress had gained the majority, in which the Democrats at least can go full throttle and attempt to stop the authoritarian directions of Trump and his Nazi’s. Fighting back, fighting hard, and pushing back as much as they can must be the motive behind each and every member of the Democrat party in Congress.

Senators have worked hard to negotiate bipartisan compromise spending bills (no easy feat), and they should go ahead and pass the five bills funding other departments. But any bill that would fund ICE and Border Patrol without any meaningful limits is effectively endorsing the conduct of rogue agencies that are causing indelible harm to people across the country, including many U.S. citizens. No senator should want that on their record or their conscience. (MS NOW)

What else must it take, seriously, how many more murders, kidnappings, ignoring due process, by the Trump Secret Police, for the Democrats in government to watch, before they act up, and place as many restrictions as they can on the UNRESTRICTED actions by the Gestapo known as ICE! 

This Friday, it might be the last chance to stop ICE from becoming the official military of our nation, and for our nation to become an occupied territory!

 

 

Ground Hog Day

 Federal officials deny Minnesota state investigators access following Pretti’s killing. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension was refused access to evidence regarding Alex Pretti’s killing by Border Patrol officers — despite a signed judicial warrant. (MS NOW)

Guilt. Murder. Cover Up For Murder. Disregard For Any Law, That Trump Deems Too Accusatory! Once again, the Trump Reich has, without any consequences, usurped what was once considered the rule of law. Once again, the Trump Reich is playing judge and jury, and willfully hides any truth, any sign of their crimes.

Where are the Epstein Tapes? Where are the tapes of the destruction of the Venezuelan fishing boats? Where is any information regarding the Renee Nicoll Good murder? And now we have the murder of Alex Pretti, and as is the usual motive of the Crime Syndicate of the Trump Reich, where is the truth?

The vast majority of Republicans in Congress who could stop this purposeful middle finger and disregard for the law certainly could fight back and release all and everything, but as is so usual for these American traitors, their allegiance to the Dictator is their priority. 

Maybe, it is about time for those in the Media, who actually care about laws, justice, who still place morals and values above and beyond their profits, to continuously, as if it were a loop, repeat, 24/7 the question where are the tapes, where are the tapes, where are the tapes.

 

 

Murder, by Trump

 Minnesota officials say federal law enforcement agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis on Saturday as chaos unfolded near the scene of the incident. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz called the shooting “horrific” and “sickening.” (MS NOW)

Murder, murder endorsed by the Trump regime, sanctioned by the silence of the Republican Party, promoted by the state-run media outlet FOX. The people who rant and rave regarding their so-called Pro-Life policies regarding their stance on NO ABORTIONS, again, the same Bull Shit Political Party identifying as Republicans, the so called Christian Nationalists who demand that they and only they understand the New Testament, and they and only they are the real people who understand the teachings of Jesus Christ…all of them have no problem with MURDER. Actually, they seem gleeful that more and more MURDERS happen. Prove me wrong!

One more incident when I must scream out loud, when is enough, ENOUGH, and one more occurrence, when it seems there is never enough to stop the insidiousness of Trump/ Noam/ Nazi Miller MAGA MIKE and Just Dance Vance.

The Fascists in the Trump Reich have tried to take America back to the Pre-Civil War Days, back to the segregated 1950s, back to the Gilded Age, and now once more the Trump Reich and his Republican Nazi’s have decided to take us back to the days of the Wild, Wild, West, where murder in the streets was just another day in the life of America!

 

 

 

Eyes WIDE shut

 “This week, ICE’s detention of a five-year-old boy wearing a Spider Man backpack in the Minneapolis suburb of Columbia Heights quickly became a defining image of the Trump administration’s hardline immigration enforcement. Furious critics, including many local politicians, seized on Liam Ramos’s ordeal as glaring evidence that Trump’s mass deportation campaign has little to do with crime and a lot to do with terrorizing children and their families.” (The Guardian)

For me, this paragraph sums up the Trump Reich’s entire purpose regarding its creation of, endorsement of, and continued support of its ICE Gestapo actions. This paragraph also sums up, at least for me, very perfectly, Trump and his American Nazi regime's intentions and goals to run America, via fear, intimidation, terror, and authoritarianism.

So far, Trump has been successful in running the Republican Party as a Mob Boss might run his crime syndicate. He has bullied almost the entire Republican cowards, convincing them, sadly, with little effort, that to pay homage to Trump is the only allegiance that matters in American politics today. Trump, with the support of his Billionaire, pedophile donors, and his Fascist friends at the heritage Foundation have the Republican majority in his back pocket, so what is left, of course is to insight fear and terror to the masses, hoping that they too will be so overcome with his strong armed lawlessness, that they will cater to his wishes and whims.

None of this, at least as I see it, is difficult to see. The major problem, for me, is just how many people in power see this happening but prefer to still look the other way!

 

 

Two separate laws

 ‘Sometimes you need a dictator’: Trump shines new light on his political philosophy. Not that there was any serious debate about his authoritarian impulses, but the president keeps piling on the evidence. (MS NOW)

There is Constitutional Law, and there is Trump Law, evidenced by the hypocrites and cowardly Republicans sitting on the Judicial Committee in the House of Representatives, as they never argued the case if Trump had been guilty of an insurrection or the theft of Top Secret Documents, but pressed Jack Smith as to why he had to be so tough in prosecuting Trump.

More upset with Jack Smith for prosecuting the crimes committed by Trump, then, let’s say the 35 days of not releasing the Epstein files by Pam Bondi, the Republicans, led by Chairman Gym Jordan, who himself is 500 days into breaking the law by not responding to his subpoena for his involvement in January 6^th, spent hour after hour being angry at Jack Smith for doing the job of the government, then spending an iota of time considering the two Republicans, Bondi and Trump for breaking the laws of the government.

So, when Trump projects his true intentions (he is such a sick, sad narcissist, that he must let everyone know his plans, especially his nefarious ones) and pretends to be joking about being a dictator, it is way past the time to be afraid, America, and about time we all do something about it!

 

 

 

Our Collective Minds

 Yeah, for people like Jack Smith, who testified today in the House. Watching the Republicans who ran like chickens or cowered under their desks, who looked terrified as Trump’s Insurrection Mob threatened not only them but the entirety of our Democracy, act as if THEY had never been a part of the terror of January 6^th was disgusting, sheer hypocrisy and weakness on display. As if that was not gross enough:

During the hearing Trump condemned Smith on his social media platform and called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate him. “Jack Smith is a deranged animal, who shouldn’t be allowed to practice Law. If he were a Republican, his license would be taken away from him, and far worse!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Hopefully the Attorney General is looking at what he’s done, including some of the crooked and corrupt witnesses that he was attempting to use in his case against me.” (MS NOW)

Law and order, right from wrong, crazy from insanity, no longer matter to these Republicans. While they remain under the thumb of demonstrably demented man, Trump, justice will never be served to the people of our Republic. And as if all of that was not enough to keep any intelligent person from puking their guts out, it has been 500 days…let me repeat that 500 DAYS, that Gym Jordon, the Republican Committee Chair, of the Judicial Committee has yet to respond to his House of Representatives subpoena, for his connection to the January 6^th Trump-created insurrection.

This nation has lost its collective mind!

 

 

 

I Have Not Become This

 When will the Republicans say, 'Enough is enough’? Oh, wait, they didn’t have much to say as Renee Nicole Good was murdered, shot three times, so I am certain when… “ICE detains four children from Minnesota school district, including 5-year-old. Columbia Heights Public Schools district officials accused ICE officers of using the 5-year-old “as bait.” A 10-year-old and her mother were also detained.” (Washington Post) … they will once again trade in any morals or values, as they have their spines to take a knee to Trump and conveniently look the other way, act as the hypocrites they have morphed into, or just pretend that they care about families.

Trump is a tyrant. He thrives on being the Mob Boss, the Dictator, the man without principles, a sociopath, a pervert, a liar, and a bully. So far, as we witness the actions taken on his behalf, by his hired henchmen, and the ever disgusting, pathetic Republican politicians, it seems that they too enjoy the evilness, and deviant behaviors espoused by their Lord and Savior, Trump! 

We were told at first, and still reminded of that lie by state-run propaganda FOX, that it is only the worst of the worst, the gang members, drug dealers and the rapists, that are being rounded up and exiled…but most normal people sit and watch in horror as people are murdered, kidnapped, threatened, and terrified who are women sitting in their cars, grandparents in the homes, and kids at their schools. And so far, the only thing both the Republicans and some Democrats in Congress have done is to increase the budget to fund Trump’s Secret Police.

The question might be asked, “WHO HAVE WE BECOME?” But NO, I have not become this, and I know millions of other Americans have become this. I want to know how this death and destruction stops, not when, but now!

 

 

 

 

 

It ain't gonna happen

It may sound like a solution, but when we have the current crop of Anti-Democracy politicians in power, the 25^thAmendment, like so many other amendments within the US Constitution, becomes words written over 200 years ago, on some ragtag parchment!

“The 25th Amendment can be invoked by the President, who can declare their own inability to perform their duties, or by the Vice President along with a majority of the Cabinet, who can declare that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office.” (National Constitutional Center)

Trump is following the wishes and desires of the Heritage Foundation and their Project 2025. Trump and his family are making billions of dollars while Trump remains president, and of course, Trump’s biggest fear is that once he is no longer the King of America, he faces prison time. Trump’s owners and operators, Heritage Foundation, his Billionaire donors, and of course Putin, understand that no matter how jack-shit crazy Trump is and will be, they need him as their puppet.

“Section 4 concerns the removal of a president who is unable or unwilling to perform their duties. In the case the president is incapable of serving but does not voluntarily transfer power, they can be declared unable to hold the position by the vice president along with a "majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide." (National Constitutional Center)

Think of the members of Trump’s regime identifying as Cabinet members, and consider the crimes they too have committed, and consider just how inept and incompetent they have been, and then say to yourself, do they really place the American people’s security over their own selfish, self-serving needs?  And Just Dance Vance may be chomping at the bit to become America’s newest King, but he, too, must follow the marching orders of the Heritage Foundation, and will not do or say any disparaging words until he is given permission.

And then we have the majority Party in Congress, the Republicans, look how brave they haven’t been on the Epstein Files, the invasion of Venezuela, the lack of concern regarding ICE. Those boys and girls ain’t gonna do a thing to invoke the 25^th! 

The RHEA Brothers

 “Pentagon moves to cut U.S. participation in some NATO advisory groups. The planned exit marks the Trump administration’s latest move to scale back Washington’s military investment in Europe’s defense.” (The Washington Post)

I am surprised this hasn’t happened earlier in the Trump’s Regime to impose Russian Law, but perhaps, all of Trump’s enablers needed more time to provide their middle finger to Europe en masse.  I predict that very, very soon, the US will, under the direction of Comrade Trump, quit NATO, and as an extra special bonus, the US will exit the United Nations.

The Republicans in Congress, who are in the majority, so far have lost their tongues, maybe because their tongues are still inside Trump’s rectum!

And then, as Trump blatantly and unabashedly luxuriates in the glow of his owner and operator, Putin, we the people watch as his three RHEA Bros seem to have no problem embracing the Kremlin instead of saving America.

We have DIAR-RHEA, Just Dance Vance, at the ready to do whatever he must to be the front runner for the MAGA minions, running around trying to act even more Putin-licking than Trump. Then we have GONOR-RHEA, Little Marco Rubio, who knows if he ain’t as anti-American as Vance, then he won't even be in the running to be Vice President. And finally, we have PIAR-RHEA, Pistol Pete Hegseth, who thinks his Testosterone count will multiply as long as he tries his best to get more Troops murdered.

Say, so long to freedom and justice, and hello to the land of lost, the land where Putin intends on Making America into Russia!

 

 

 

To no one's surprise

 “Trump, sharing leaked texts and AI mock-ups, vows 'no going back' on Greenland.”

“Trump's Greenland ambition threatens NATO unity, trade ties. Macron demands respect, not bullies. EU Commission chief calls for new, 'independent' Europe. Russia questions Danish sovereignty over Greenland. (Reuters)

And all we hear so far from the Republican Enablers are whimpers of “oh, gosh,” “oh gee,” and those are from the braver Republicans, as in those people who are not seeking re-election!

It should be to NO ONE’S surprise, who has any IQ higher than the low IQs of the MAGA Fascists, that, of course, the sick, sad sociopath and psychotic narcissist Trump will not back down; he has never done so, and with his ego on display in full force, he will not back down now!

And it should come to NO ONE’S surprise that Trump’s behavior toward our European Allies is a direct result of orders from Trump, the Russian Asset’s master, Putin. How easy it is for Putin to first invade and conquer Europe, and as a consequence of that, a Trump-inspired and Republican approved invasion, the United States will be next. Oh, Putin will keep Trump as the titular head, but as has been clearly demonstrated with Trump currently, all future policies and decisions will be handled by Putin.

And please remember this, that NONE OF THIS needed to happen, if any of the Republicans in the majority actually gave a shit about American Democracy. No, Trump may be a direct Russian Asset, but it is the Republicans who have no problem working with Putin.

 

 

 

His letter to NORWAY

 Trump blames Nobel snub for Greenland demand in text with Norwegian PM. President Donald Trump said he no longer needs to think “purely of Peace” after not winning the Nobel Peace Prize in a letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. (USA Today)

I first read about this earlier in the day and thought, okay, this is bullshit; there is no way this isn't satire. I mean, it sounds like a so-so skit on SNL; it is too utterly ridiculous to be anywhere in the category of truth, so I figured.

But DAMN, this whole Trump Norwegian communication is fucking true. This very mentally ill person, who happens to be the current President of the USA, the guy that so far has the power to declare WWIII, who has nuclear codes, is so insecure, so angry, so childish, so immature, so demented so anxious to get even with anyone his paranoid brain tells him has wronged him, has come clean as to why he wants Greenland, and what exactly he will do to get exactly what he thinks he deserves.

How can this madness end? Well, the Constitution, when it once mattered, stated the use of the 25^th Amendment. And once upon a time, the Constitution stated that there were three equal branches of the government. But then none of that mattered. Nope, the Republicans rejoiced, thinking that now that they were in power, no one needed checks and balances anymore, and the Heritage Foundation Supremes delighted in anointing Trump as King, Emperor, Il Duce, etc., etc.

And here we are, America, Trump this time went beyond his usual narcissistic machinations, and has placed the world on notice that, since no one thought of him as a peace maker, he will make life a living Hell for everyone. This is beyond fucked up!

 

 

Silence DOES equal death

 Until Stephen Nazi Miller whispers to Trump that he should announce an executive action to ban anyone from honoring Dr. Martin Luther King on his birthday or ever, or until the Heritage Foundation threatens the Republicans that they will be primaried if they even mention Martin Luther King, and while some freedom of speech still exists on most major internet platforms, I will take the time to honor, remember and respect, not only the actions, deeds of Dr. King, but I will take the time to repeat three of his quotes that seem even more pertinent, at least for me, in these troubling and depressing times, I find myself living.

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." (Martin Luther King)

“In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends.” (Martin Luther King)

“You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for you do not say.” (Martin Luther King).

I am a child of the 60s, and 70’s and I grew up in an era of turmoil and distress, and I witnessed three kinds of people, those who needed a scapegoat to survive, those who fought loud and proud, and a group for whom then, and especially now, I have the least amount of tolerance for, those who remain SILENT during any and all adversity. Those who would gladly look the other way, hoping by doing so, no one will notice them, and by seeming to be invisible, feel that they will be safe.

And when the 80s arrived, I learned a phrase which still resonates for me today, “SILENCE EQUALS DEATH!” The three quotes I share from Dr. King all deal with the cruelty of being silent. They deal with, as I see it, the immorality of knowing what is wrong, but preferring to ignore it.

IT AIN'T NO JOKE

 IT AIN’T NO JOKE.

“Think Trump won't cancel the election? Don't kid yourself. So President Donald Trump has again floated the idea of canceling the 2026 midterm elections, telling Reuters on Jan. 14 that “when you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election." The broad response to that dictator-ish comment from a president with a known affinity for dictators was, and I’m paraphrasing: “Aw, shucks, Trump’s just being Trump, that’s not possible and there’s no way he’s crazy enough to try that!” (Opinion/USA Today)

By now, anyone who has even a breadcrumb of intelligence understands that Trump is such a narcissist that he cannot even control expressing to the world even his most sinister and evil intentions. Trump never says this is what I WILL DO, but Trump loves to toss around some ideas, which of course, his sycophants have either placed in his ear, or some insidious machinations that run rampant in what is left of his brain. Trump loves to project all his malicious intentions because he is so proud of his nastiness that he cannot contain himself.

When Trump says anything that is counter to democracy, anything that contradicts the US Constitution, which is just as corrupt as possible, it is time, immediately, to shout, WAIT A MINUTE, THIS IS NOT A JOKE. Too often too many people say this is just Trump being a jerk, when in fact they should be saying because Trump is a jerk, these are exactly his intentions!

OUT OF MY HANDS

 ‘No longer in my hands’: How Hill Republicans stopped caring about DOJ releasing the Epstein files. On the one-month anniversary of the Justice Department missing the deadline to release all the Epstein materials in its possession, Republicans in Congress are largely shrugging their shoulders. (POLITICO)

Show and tell, pretend you actually have something which is of value to you, let the bright lights showcase its luster, and then place that piece of junk in some drawer in your attic of other phony ass shit, you own.

“I don’t give a rip about Epstein,” Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) said last week when she was asked to take stock of the month since the Dec. 19 deadline. (POLITICO)

BOEBERT, she has no more time to give a rip regarding the raping, molestation, and kidnapping of girls. Nope, BOEBERT needed her 15 minutes of fame by pretending that she was a woman who actually gave a shit about other females, and once that tune was played, BOEBERT decided to sing another song.

“Like, there’s so many other things we need to be working on,” she added. “I’ve done what I had to do for Epstein. Talk to somebody else about that. It’s no longer in my hands.” (POLITICO)

Oh, BOEBERT has so many other pressing things to concentrate on, you know, like Trans athletes, bathroom patrols, supporting the murders of protestors, and enjoying the death of free speech, for anyone who is not BOEBERT. She is SAD, she is SICK, she is PATHETIC, she is a CON, but worst of all she is IN CONGRESS!

Both the same

 Pentagon puts troops on standby for possible Minneapolis deployment. The Pentagon has ordered about 1,500 active-duty soldiers to prepare for a possible deployment to Minnesota, The Washington Post reports. (MS NOW)

Iran's supreme leader has for the first time publicly acknowledged that thousands of people were killed during recent protests. In a speech on Saturday, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said thousands had been killed, "some in an inhuman, savage manner". (BBC)

Here are the differences: One guy’s name is Donald Trump, and the other guy’s name is Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. One guy pretends to be a Christian, and the other guy pretends to be a Muslim. 

Here are the similarities. Both guys desire to remain as Dictators. Both guys have little desire for the law. Originally, both guys catered to the lowest form of citizens living in their nations, those people who always knew they were worthless but were assured by both guys that the only reason they actually are worthless is because of someone else, in other words, both guys helped discover the scapegoat, THE OTHER.

Trump recently urged Iranian demonstrators to "keep protesting" and threatened military intervention if security forces kill them. At the same time, as Trump pretends to care about democracy in some place other than HIS AMERICA, Trump is threatening to send armed Troops to quell protestors in Minnesota. Both guys agree on one item, however, and that is the idea that free speech is bad for their lust for being a dictator!

 

 

 

 

 

Prove this wrong

 As I see it.

Putin, once he charmed Trump, or more precisely blackmailed Trump, understood that the conquest of America would not include Russian boots on the ground or nuclear warfare. No, Putin, with his experience as a KGB agent, understood how to contain, corrupt, and command Trump. Putin, also had plenty of insight, so it seems to me, to understand that in American history, the Confederacy really never lost the war of racial divide, but in fact, I believe Putin was smart enough to see how the loathing and hatred just festered for all those who never, ever desired a government for and by the people, especially if those people, did not look like them, believe in the same God as they, or loved the way they loved.

Imagine how the war in Ukraine would at least be contained, if not ended, if Trump behaved as aggressively against Russia as he did in Venezuela. Trump says he is establishing his newest version of the Monroe Doctrine, but this time, proclaiming that within the Western Hemisphere, only America can and will be respected. This, of course, gives greater permission for Putin to say the exact thing about Europe, and in extension, provides China with the same Trump excuse to invade Taiwan.

And now, without Putin sending any ballistic bombs or Troops into the NATO nations, Trump is also assisting Putin in the dismantling of NATO, a force Putin and Russia have always feared and loathed. Easy Peezy for Putin, send in his owned and operated Russian Asset, and wham bam thank you Ma’am world conquest is his.

Trump is a puppet. And oh yeah, Trump as a puppet seems to be A-OKAY with his spineless, dick-less, and enemies of the state Republican Majority in Congress. Prove me wrong, please!

WTF, a Board of Peace

 $1 Billion in Cash Buys a Permanent Seat on Trump’s ‘Board of Peace.’ The board was originally conceived to oversee the rebuilding of Gaza, but its charter does not mention the Palestinian enclave, suggesting a possibly broader mandate. (New York Times)

Just like everything else, Trump and his Snake Oil Production Company, if you got the BIG BUCKS, you too can play with the BIG BOYS…if you ain’t got the Benjamins, fuck off!

And while the board was conceived as part of Mr. Trump’s plan to oversee Gaza, there is no mention of Gaza in the charter. That omission added to speculation that the group may have a broader mandate to cover other conflicts and could even be aimed at creating a U.S.-dominated alternative to the United Nations Security Council. (New York Times)

What you see is never what you get when it comes to Trump; only those whose IQ is lower than 10 won’t understand this, or those who just love to hate the same way as Trump hates will refute this. Trump's promises made are Trump’s promises never kept. He lures in the bigoted, the ignorant, the uneducated, and they willingly forgo any facts, preferring the luster of Trump’s lies! 

On Friday, the White House announced the board’s members would include Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law, and Ajay Banga, the head of the World Bank. (New York Times).

Jared Kushner, as in the same guy who received a few billion dollars from the Saudis. The guy with zero experience in government policy, the guy whose father and father-in-law are felons, is included as a Board Member. Hmm, so a snake oil salesman hires a con man.

Oh yeah, and to top things off, as Chairperson of this newly formed hoax, Trump gets to decide how and where and to whom the billion dollars to join is used? “There is a bridge in Brooklyn for sale!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Happened

 I HAD NO IDEA THIS HAPPENED:

“People are outraged over a video that shows officers stopping a self-identified physician from helping Renee Good, a 37-year-old Minneapolis woman who was shot and killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer. ” (HuffPost)

The Trump ICE Gestapo, supported by the Republican Party of Pro Death, detained a physician for his attempt to provide medical assistance to Renee Nicole Good, as she sat in her car bleeding from the three shots fired upon the murderer, Jonathan Ross. The cover-up of this murder was so well-oiled that the Trump ICE Gestapo made no attempt to even try to keep Renee Nicole Good alive.

According to the eyewitnesses at the scene, when the doctor told the Trump ICE Gestapo he was a physician, the ICE Goons told him to back away because the EMTS were on their way, and the EMTS arrived 15 minutes later, and due to the congestion on the road their ambulance could not get close enough to Renee Nicole Good, so they had to carry her.

This is not hyperbole, this is not frantic exaggeration, this, by the way, should even be an event taking place in America, but a murder took place, the inaction to help the victim, in pain and distress, was great, and the perpetrators involved in this murder have walked away with, so far, zero consequences to be paid. Now, all of us SHOULD ASK who will be next?

 

 

 

MORPHING?

 ICE is morphing into Trump’s secret police force before our eyes. The agency is shunning norms of law enforcement and becoming a militarized wing of Trump's political agenda — and it's going to get worse. (Opinion/MS NOW)

Morphing, let’s get real, it has already morphed, and is, like the parasite it was intended to be, has already established itself as a strong presence created and intended to keep the Trump Regime in power. The ruthless rules and regulations established by Trump and his Nazi Stephen Miller do not refer to any Constitutional law. ICE now reports to the laws laid down by Trump, who sees himself above the law, and to Miller, who has kicked the laws of the land to the ground.

I get so frustrated when I read articles that state, OMG, look at what is happening, as if, there is a suddenness in the criminality and illegality demonstrated by Trump and anyone in his employ. 

Trump is destroying as much of democracy as he can before the Midterms. Trump may be a demented, senile, sick man, but his cognitive abilities to understand his guilty past are still functioning, and Trump does not want to go to prison, or ever pay the consequences for the crimes he KNOWS he has committed.

Morphing, Holy Shit, enough of this, “where have I been” foolish attitude. We are in a very serious moment in the survival of freedoms in this nation. Anyone who has opened their eyes to the truth knows this. The Republicans in the majority know this, but they prefer to place their own political priorities above the salvation of American Democracy.

ICE is that Xenomorph in the ‘Alien’ franchise, who has already invaded the spaceship and has already transformed most of the crew members into its prey.

 

 

For them and for US

  

 

“New Hampshire Republican is defiant after reportedly hyping ‘segregated schools’

The chair of the state’s House Education Policy and Administration Committee appears to have promoted the idea of “segregated schools” in a Signal chat.”

 “On Wednesday, The Granite Post published Signal messages that appear to show state Rep. Kristin Noble — who chairs New Hampshire’s House Education Policy and Administration Committee — telling another GOP committee member that “when we have segregated schools we can add all the fun stuff lol.” Noble reportedly added: “imagine the scores though if we had schools for them and some for us.” (MS NOW)

Permission has been granted, with Trump as a role model for racism, along with the majority of Republicans who support gerrymandered districts, and oh yeah, the Heritage Foundation Supreme Court Justices, who have no problem with ICE’s policy to target brown-skinned people, segregation is making a comeback in AMERIKA.

Here we go, sadly again, and here we go with the words and wishes of a Republican politician implying that somehow, because she is white, it makes her supreme! I am not naïve enough to think that racism ever died, but what is really gross is now that we have Trump as President and his quagmire of fascists and racists in power, racism is no longer in the shadows of insecure white folk but is being openly expressed and embraced.

Wonder what the Black Trump cultists like, Cadance Owens of Turning Point shame, Byron Donalds, U.S. Representative (FL-19) Wesley Hunt, U.S. Representative (TX-38) Tim Scott, U.S. Senator for SC Burgess Owens, U.S. Representative (UT-4) John James, U.S. Representative (MI-10) have to say about this…or wait, maybe they believe that because they whole heartedly support Trump no one will notice that they are black!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eat This!

 “A healthy meal for $3? Agriculture secretary says it’s easy. Brooke Rollins drew ridicule on social media after saying a meal could be a "piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla and one other thing.” (Washington Post)

The Trump Monarchy no longer is telling Americans to “Just Eat Cake,” nope, they have moved beyond that instruction, and now they have decided that for just $3, all you have to do in America is eat a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla, and oh yeah, some unspecified OTHER THING!

Now to be sure, the Trump Monarchy is not speaking to all of America, as in not those who can spend $30 million on a documentary about woman who knows all about Jeffrey Epstein, or those Americans who can donate $1 million to an unnecessary Ballroom, or those Americans who can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to attend a Christmas Party or New years Eve Gala at Mar-Largo.

Nope, the Trump Monarchy is speaking to those of you who decided to trust Trump regarding the economy and voted for a 34-count felon, a man found guilty of rape, a man found guilty of fraud, you know, the guy you were certain was going to lower GROCERY PRICES. 

You knew he was a bigot, maybe cause you were also. You knew he was a racist, maybe because you were also. You knew he was a liar, maybe because you were also. Maybe not, but damn, you voted for Trump because, like anybody wearing a “Just Kick Me I Am With Stupid " T-shirt, Trump conned you, and you bought it.

Now Trump voters and supporters go out and buy that one piece of chicken, that one piece of broccoli, that one corn tortilla, and oh yeah, that one unspecified other thing. ENJOY!

 

 

 

 

How come and WHY!

 A federal judge Wednesday heard arguments in the Trump administration’s lawsuit challenging California’s new law prohibiting ICE agents and other police officers from wearing masks on duty.

The judge asked how ICE agents operated without masks in years past, and questioned why California peace officers were exempted from the law.

“Why can’t they perform their duties without a mask? They did that until 2025, did they not?” Snyder said. “How in the world do those who don’t mask manage to operate?” (Los Angeles Times)

What a great question, and may I add, a “IT’S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE IN POWER ASKED THAT QUESTION!” So, Noam and Miller, and Bondi, and of course Trump, what changed from 2025 to now? How come, if ICE is supposed to be a law-abiding agency, those supposedly upholding the law need to be disguised? Oh, yeah, and why is it that no other “law-abiding agency” is masked?

Of course, all of those questions are delivered in a VERY RHETORIC manner, because, of course, we all know that ICE is not abiding by the law but breaking it. And we all understand most criminals and their MOB BOSSES prefer to hide behind masks!

 

Not Till It Affects Me

 “PITY THE JEWISH INTELLECTUALS OF MAGA. The nascent effort to contain the spread of anti-Semitism is years overdue.” (The Atlantic)

I am among many attributes in my life, an American who is Jewish. And as I have watched way too many other Americans who are Jewish, espouse the Trump mantra and MAGA movement, which for me has always smelled of antisemitism, I grew frustrated and dismayed.

“For a time, it was possible for the Jewish intellectuals of MAGA—a small but influential set of podcasters, columnists, and theorists—to minimize anti-Semitism in the movement. But it’s now so ubiquitous and so noxious that even they can’t ignore it. Joel Pollak, the former editor in chief of Breitbart News, wrote on X in December that, until a few months before, he would have happily sent his children to a Turning Point USA event. Not anymore. “Now: why would I send them to one more place where Jewish kids have to defend who they are and what they believe?” 

“They lent their prestige to it anyway, certain that the hateful rhetoric was meant for someone else. Now that it has landed directly on them, they want credit for noticing the stench.” (The Atlantic)

Here we go again, NOT UNTIL IT AFFECTS ME WAS IT EVER MY CONCERN. Yep, these Jewish MAGA, Turning Point, Republican Jewish Americans, all who felt safe that their form of Judaism was safe and sound, surrounded by Nazi themes and intentions, because they hated THE OTHERS, are now sadly discovering that all along they indeed were the others. It wasn’t convenient at the time for the Republicans to turn on the Jews, after all, there were so many people like Mariam Adelson providing millions and millions of dollars to keep them in power. But now that they are entrenched in power, they no longer need a bunch of Jews in their midst!

 

 

 

The Insurrection Act

 Trump threatens to institute the Insurrection Act in Minneapolis. (MS NOW)

The Insurrection Act is a U.S. federal law that allows the president to deploy military forces domestically to suppress insurrections, domestic violence, or to enforce federal law under certain conditions. It serves as an exception to the Posse Comitatus Act, which generally prohibits the military from engaging in domestic law enforcement. (Brennan Center for Justice).

Here we go, Americans. This is a dress rehearsal for the coming months of 2026, a preview, if you will, of how Trump will justify the unconstitutional actions of his Secret Police and Trump’s disdain for Democracy in America.

Here is how it works in the world of an AUTHORITARIAN REGIME. First, the dictator instigates violence, wrapping it up in a pretty package called, we are here to protect you, Mr. and Mrs. Citizen, but within your community, there are people out to get you, bad people, not like you. They create the problem, blame it on THE OTHER, walk away a bit pretending they had nothing to do with the problem…the wham bam no thank you ma’am they show up in force to remedy the situation…of course, the one they invented.

Be very afraid, the rest of this nation and watch the tactics used in Minneapolis, because step by step, surely, certainly, these same Fascist actions are in the playbook to disrupt the Midterm Elections, the ones in which Trump fears he will lose control and go to jail!

Smoke and Mirrors and Oil

 “Trump leaves U.S. military action unclear as Iran says it won't execute protesters.” (NBC News)

That’s cool, ain’t it…but here in Amerika, Trump has zero problem in executing protestors. If Trump’s Secret Police feel that their manhood has been diminished, they have no problem in shooting you in the face.

“Iran's judiciary said Thursday that a man feared to be facing execution would not face the death penalty. President Donald Trump welcomed this as “good news," having said he had learned the regime had stopped killing protesters. (NBC News)

But here in Amerika, Trump welcomes his INJUSTICE DEPARTMENT to abduct, kidnap, illegally hold without due process, anyone who he and his Secret Police believe had the audacity to enact their right to free speech. Why Trump has instructed his private attorney Pammy Bondi to cover up any and all murders!

Smoke and Mirrors, that is all Trump is offering. Bull shit, and bogus is the only foreign policy Trump has in mind. Oh yeah, and taking the oil from any country he so desires!

 

 

INDIGENOUS

 “The detention of at least five men in and around Minneapolis has sparked an outcry among Native American groups about Indigenous people being racially profiled as undocumented immigrants by federal immigration agents. Minneapolis is one of the largest urban centers for Native Americans in the United States. ”

““It is deeply offensive and ironic that the first people of this land would be subjected to questions around their citizenship,” Jacqueline De Leon, senior staff attorney at the nonprofit Native American Rights Fund and a member of the Isleta Pueblo. “Yet nevertheless, that is exactly what we’re seeing.”(USA TODAY)

The Neo Nazi Stephen Miller, the Jewish Neo Nazi, has no problem with his approval of White Supremacy. Miller, now, has set his Secret Police on the Indigenous People of North America, pretending that because they are not of white skin, there is no way in Hell they could be from his AMERIKA!

Hey, Stephen Miller, your family left Germany because the Nazi’s believed that Jewish people were not and never were Germans. Hey, Stephen, your family escaped Germany because had they stayed, they would have been severely persecuted and most likely been sent to Concentration Camps to first suffer and then die. Hey Stephen, do you know the definition of the word INDIGENOUS? I will put it simply for your racist and bigoted brain: Indigenous people are the ones who were here before your family arrived, before your kinfolk sought a safe harbor. I might ask you, have you no shame, but that is a bit of a stupid question!

 

 

Doing IT again

 “The Trump Administration's Latest Tweet To Nazi Propaganda (Again)”

I am past being scared, I am at the point of being terrified, that right in front of my eyes and the eyes of America, the Trump regime is proudly boasting about their affection for everything and anything NAZI!

“Over 11 Million People Were Stunned To Silence By This Trump Administration Tweet That's Being Compared To Nazi Propaganda.” “The Trump administration is once again facing backlash for a recent tweet. This time, it comes from the US Department of Labor.” (BuzzFeed)

The Trump Regime has hired some very smart people, who have read and read their history books, and way too many who have focused on the Nazis of Germany. These men and women understand two things: the first being that their Dear Leader imagines himself as an American Hitler, and secondly, that the bigots, racists, antisemites who are in the Trump Cult have never bothered to read a history book, and remain illiterate and downright dumb as dirt.

“This weekend, alongside historical images of the founding fathers and war, the department tweeted: "One Homeland. One People. One Heritage. Remember who you are, American." (BuzzFeed) It seems parallels are being drawn to the motto from Nazi Germany, “"Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer," which translates to, "One People, One Empire, One Leader."”

It ain’t a coincidence, I ain’t a snowflake, it IS a direct attempt to divide this nation between those the Trump gestapo consider the real Americans, and to alienate as quickly and as precisely as they can those who ARE NOT. From the guy who said there are good people on both sides, and since then has followed a Fascist path toward authoritarianism, we are once again hearing this same guy and his enablers shouting Heil Hitler, or maybe it is Heil Trump! 

 

 

 

The "Pooh-Pooh People"

 When my siblings and I were young kids, my Grandma Braff would spend lots of time with us. My grandmother arrived from Romania as a young girl way back when, and as much as she became Americanized, she also retained some of her own family traditions and superstitions. To this day, I remember and remain cautious regarding a very spooky imaginary group of ghoulish goons that my Grandmother would identify as the “Pooh-Pooh People. 

The “Pooh-Pooh People” were the Romanian version of the good old American “Gotcha”. And for my Grandmother, that came with a warning that one should never take anything for granted, and being too cocky, avoiding looking over your shoulder, and predicting the future without looking at the facts of the present, would rile the “Pooh-Pooh People,” and by throwing caution to the wind, the “Pooh-Pooh People” would rise up and screw you over.

My Grandmother said they were called the “Pooh-Pooh People”, because, if anyone began to predict a better future, before doing so, to be certain that the good you are awaiting arrives, you must first spit out the words “pooh-pooh,” as you turned your head to the right, then the left. By doing so, you had a better chance of throwing the “Pooh-Pooh People off guard. Needless to say, in our house growing up, there was a whole lot of spittle.

I write this long tale of growing up in our house because, as I look at all of the hope and clamoring of a BLUE WAVE in November 2026, I also concentrate on the current conditions of this nation, and I worry. I believe that the fascist sociopath, criminal, Trump has way too many authoritarian tricks up his sleeve, and along with his Gestapo of anti-American sycophants, he will use all of these tricks to disrupt the midterms. 

Trump’s invasion of blue cities and blue states, his newest ploy in the post marks for when mail is actually considered delivered, his constant attacking and identifying new enemies of HIS state, lead me to one conclusion, and that is that if all else fails, these actions are a lead in to declaring Martial Law, before that BLUE WAVE can even begin.  

I think about my Grandma Braff and her lectures of never being too sure of the future, if you haven’t at least taken a good look at the present. To prevent Trump from declaring Martial Law, Trump must be removed from office. I would hope that the effort to legally remove him and to have him face true justice for the past and current crimes he has committed should be the first steps taken. I am looking over my right and left shoulders, each and every day I hear about the BLUE WAVE, and with great spittle, saying “pooh-pooh,” knowing that NOW is the time to make certain THEN actually can happen as we hope.
