AND...yet

 “For weeks, Donald Trump’s fury has been growing at Republicans for failing to pass voter suppression legislation, demanding that they end the filibuster to do so. In a late-night tirade, he urged them to attach the SAVE Act to a must-pass defense spending bill, a dramatic move that reveals his deep frustration with them.” (The New Republic).

Trump is brain-dead regarding most priorities for America and Americans, but his total fear of finally facing the criminal consequences for his insidious and heinous crimes still firmly resonates in his diminishing and more demented mind. He knows he is a fraud, a felon, a very pathetic pedophile, a Putin puppet, and even if he calls it “the Islamic Republic of Japan, sits directly across from President Zelinsky identifying him as President Putin, and refers to TikTok as Tic Tac, the one item which is very clear traveling from his gut to his brain is his immense fear of going to prison. So he will do anything and everything within his crooked power to eliminate that future opportunity.

And then we have the Republican Party, the guys and gals who, 99% of them, have permitted Trump to ignore the rules and regulations provided in the US Constitution, to absolve the “checks and balances” established in the Constitution, and to rewrite any history in favor of his racist and bigoted priorities. So when I read about the following statement: They (The Republicans) also blame Trump for letting this obsession take his focus off costs. One GOP Senator even tells NBC: “He’s a bully, and he’s f------ things up as fast as he can.” (The New Republic) …I want to SCREAM!

The Republicans sold their souls (whatever that really amounts to) to Trump, hoping to keep them in power. They knew Trump was a criminal, and they decided that their jobs were more important than the job of governing for the citizens. And now, just like the MAGA voters who voted for Trump because they were certain Trump’s actions would only hurt “THE OTHER”, and never them directly, the Republicans suddenly have taken their heads out of Trump’s ass to realize that the bad guy they permitted to be bad is bad for them. And yet, AND YET, these guys and gals of the Republican Party remain obedient, obliging, keeping Trump in office, thus in power.

When you know there is poison in your food, and you still decide to indulge in that meal, the only question to ask is, “How fucked up are you?’

 

 

Is it is, or is it ain't?

 Is he is, or is he ain’t? Amazing how, once you become a Senator or a Representative on the federal level, a public servant, whose salary is paid for by the taxpayer, whose job actually is your job because of the American citizen, you suddenly seem to think somehow you are no longer beholden to those of us who voted you into office, and those of us who pay your working wage! Is he is, or is he ain’t alive?

It has been more than three weeks since Sen. Mitch McConnell was hospitalized, and since then, the 84-year-old Kentucky Republican has not been seen or heard from publicly. (MS NOW)

Trump Refers To 'Islamic Republic Of Japan,' Calls Zelenskyy 'President Putin.' The 80-year-old president blundered his way through a briefing with journalists at the NATO summit. (HUFFPOST)

Is he is, or is he ain’t? In broad daylight, not hidden behind his Truth Social Posts, or reading a speech from a teleprompter, or constantly trying to recite some bit of propaganda from a handwritten piece of paper provided to him by his staff, but sitting there in his usual slouched position, top heavy leaning forward, the President of the United States, sadly the guy who supposedly represents one of the most powerful countries in the world, demonstrated, once again, how senility, dementia, and very old age have ravaged his brain and cognitive abilities. Is he is, or is he ain’t incapable of retaining his job as President?

Is it is, or is it ain’t? There once was no Trump war on Iran; the Strait of Hormuz was open and free. Then there was a war, but it was called Epic Fury, so it was not a war, But when the Defense Department forgot that it wasn’t a war, it was referred to as a war. The Strait was closed, but then we were told it really wasn’t closed. Then, when it wasn’t closed, we closed it to show the Iranians that if the Strait was closed, the only ones who had the real power to close it were the US. Then there was a ceasefire, for a war that was not a war, and now that ceasefire may or may not be over. Is there is, or is there ain’t anyone who can please tell the world what the fuck is really happening regarding the Trump-Iran War?

President Donald Trump threatened Wednesday to unleash more military strikes against Iran after saying that Iranian attacks signaled the end of the ceasefire. "Anything that happens is going to happen very fast," Trump said, though he also suggested the U.S. military might "just finish the job." (yahoo.com)

 

 

Act up NOW

 A Texas-based white supremacist group staged what appeared to be its largest public demonstration to date over the Fourth of July weekend, marching through Washington, D.C., in a brief, coordinated display before dispersing before noon Saturday. (Austin-American Statesman)

As these face-masked white supremacists marched in DC, with absolutely no commentary regarding their actions, Trump did take the time, however, to say: President Donald Trump has been warning recently that communism will pose a threat to the U.S. if Democrats win in the upcoming midterm elections. (Yahoo News).

The Trump Reich, via their masked agents in ICE, arrests people without due cause, kidnaps them off the streets, and places them in jails without the right of habeas corpus, has sent police to arrest those who dare touch the reflecting pool, hiring wealthy donors to work on no-bid federal projects, and has a penchant for financial corruption…the Trump Reich favoring dictators from the most vile regimes across the world…the Trump Reich which has tried and tried to revoke as many Americans rights to one person one vote…this Trump Reich favoring Segregation, trying to dynamite the wall between the church (not any church but the Christian Nationalist American Church) and state, is using their guaranteed guise of “look over there, while we rob you blind,” in an effort to win over the dumb, the disturbed, and the dangerous, are poster boys and girls for the most Authoritarian styled government leading to all of the ugly aspects of a government trying their best to be Fascist.

Confederate flags were paraded during the 4^th of July, and not a single Trump Klan member criticized that. The men marching in DC, with their masks covering their faces, (nothing says being proud of your actions by covering your faces, you know, like the Ku Klux Klan and ICE, were never called out for their actions, but rather the only commentary was by the State Regime Network, known as FOX and way too many GOP Senators, calling them ANTIFA.

I remain afraid. I remain alert. I remain attuned. Way too many plans for the disruption of the November Midterms, by the Trump Reich, are being shown and demonstrated, and instead of reacting, we the people should be acting up, NOW!

I ask:when is too late, too late

 “Doomsday speculation about the midterm elections takes hold. “They’re animals,” President Trump said about the success of leftists in this year’s Democratic primaries. “We have to stop this…horrible threat of cancer that’s permeating our country called communism,” he told right-wing evangelicals in a desperate effort to stir fear about Democrats. The Washington Post described his words as “dehumanizing,” and similar to 1950s “redbaiting,” attacks on Democrats that led the U.S. Senate to censure the infamous Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis.).”

When is it too late to change the direction of the future? When is one minute past the Eleventh Hour, the last-ditch chance to redirect, to correct, to release the pressure of an oncoming storm of doom? 

The only truth Trump is capable of speaking, and thinking about, is his knowledge regarding his crimes committed, his perversions, his relationship with Putin, and his fear of going to prison. Trump’s army of Fascists, those who know that their power will only remain intact as long as Trump is the all-powerful Oz, are grifting the system and using the government for their own needs and rewards and are just as worried about keeping Trump in office; they, like Trump, will not stop at any hideous or insidious methods to deny democracy.

There may be a Blue Tsunami in November, but the Trump Reich is already in the throes of diverting that powerful wall of water from ever reaching the shores of Washington, DC.

And so here I sit once again, ranting and raving, perseverating, full of angst, and worry, witnessing evil doing its best to knock out good. Watching as corruption and heinousness move closer and closer to victory, I ask: when is too late, too late?

 

 

 

 

are you now or have you ever been

 “President Donald Trump evoked the threat of a “communist menace in our land” on Friday to push Republican lawmakers to pass his SAVE America Act and end the filibuster, promising them election wins for the next century if they do. 

“America will never be a communist country. We can only lose the midterms if we allow ourselves to lose the midterms, if we are foolish, stupid and unwise,” Trump said in front of Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. “But if we terminate the filibuster as we should do and immediately vote for the SAVE America Act, then we will not lose an election for 100 years.”  (HuffPost)

The new Transgender/Illegal Immigrant/People of Color/Gay Pride Month and Flag created enemies of America, created by the Republican Party/MAGA and, of course, the American Christian Nationalists, are Communism and Communists.

Understanding that Trump and the Republican Party cannot run on affordability, low inflation, the lack of success in Trump’s vanity war in Iran, the economy or jobs numbers, the folks at The Heritage Foundation, the real owners and operators of America, have come up with a new scapegoat, identifying those democrats who identify as Socialist Democrats.

Because the MAGA lacks any literate idea of various terms for the types of governing, the Trump Reich is hoping that, as in the 1950s, when the question was asked, “Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?” These people believe that their dumb as shit voters will somehow acquiesce, not question their Dear Leader, and immediately decide that all Democrats are Communists.

In doing so, the Trump Reich and its billionaire puppet masters are betting that by blaming Communists for the evil within America, they will overlook the authoritarianism and Fascism that are at the core of any one or anything Trump.

Oh, and by the way, Trump’s SAVE America Act has nothing to do with saving America but has everything to do with saving Trump from finally paying the consequences of his criminal activities.

 

 

A New (look over there) Enemy

 “On the eve of the nation’s 250th birthday, President Donald Trump used his address Friday night at Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota to allege that there is “a resurgence of the communist menace in our land.” “Communism is a mortal threat to American liberty,” Trump said. “It is the greatest threat to our country, including World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor or even 9/11.” (South Dakota Searchlight)

Here we go, folks, get ready for the newest enemy to the US, from the Trump regime and in turn his lackies within the Republican Party. I am not surprised. Why, easy, there have been a bunch of election upsets by Democrats who identify as Socialist Democrats. These Democrats believe in issues that will lessen the divide between the haves and the have-nots, and this group of Democrats prefers laws that prioritize the benefits of health and welfare for all. 

So Trump and his Fascism understand that most of the MAGA voters and sadly a large amount of remaining Republican voters are ill-informed regarding the definition of Socialism, Communism, and Fascism, and knowing that lack of education, the plan is to terrify the low-IQ voter into thinking that Socialism is really Communism and Communism is bad.

If the MAGA voter understood Socialism, they would learn that Medicare, Medicaid, the Police Departments, the Fire Departments, and the Bailouts for the Farmers are all forms of Socialism, and so far, none of those examples have led to this nation turning into a Communist state.

And if the MAGA voters really understood the world in which they live, they would discover that two of Trump’s idols, Vlad Putin and Kim Jong-Un, are actually Communist leaders. And if these ill-educated MAGA voters had an iota of smarts, they would realize Trump’s Reich’s love for the ideals of a Fascist America.

So now, forget the Transgender community, or the Immigrants of Color, or Feminists as the real enemy of America, we will witness how the Trump propaganda team will announce that the real enemy of the state is the Democratic Socialists, and in turn, of course, the rest of the Democrats. We are witnessing a new version of the Witch Trials of Salem, going into the November Midterms.

 

 

 

249 years later

 It is Friday, July 3, 2026. A day before Americans celebrate their 250th anniversary of independence from a tyrannical government in England. A Civil War, and yet somehow the Union won, and thus we remained the United States rather than the Confederate States of America. But even so, way too many people reminisce about the days of slavery, injustice, and inequality. We fought the Fascists in World War Two, but yet as I write this, somehow way too many people consider antifascists as unpatriotic Americans.

249 years later, and we have way too many people who still consider people of color as inferior, we have way too many people who would rather patrol the public bathrooms or sports teams for fear that the dreaded Transperson might be there to commit some kind of perverted action, all the while these same way too many people support a convicted rapist, and a man who refuses to release the truth regarding Pedophiles. 

249 years later, and once again, we have way too many people who want to relegate women as chattel, as property, including way too many women doing so! Of course, many of these women who proudly demonstrate their own form of misogyny are in positions of power, have great education, but continue to act upon their own hypocrisy.

249 years later, we have a President who has become a multi-billionaire, along with his family, while serving as the Executive of this nation. It almost seems like the United States is his own corporation. He has his private attorney as the Attorney General, acting on behalf of his client, rather than on behalf of “we the people.”

And yet, even with our Constitution and the celebration of freedom, 249 years later, the current occupant of the White House is enabled and permitted to erase any and all advances made in equality, freedom, and democratic principles.

It is Friday, July 3, 2026, a day before our 250^th year as a Republic, and I seriously worry about day 251 for the people of the United States!
