READ the writing, DAMNIT

  

Wayne Allyn Root is probably not well known, but Donald Trump certainly knows who he is. In fact, seven years ago this month, Root, a far-right radio host and conspiracy theorist, claimed that Israeli Jews view Trump as the “second coming of God.”

Root: You have the right to declare a national security emergency for elections. If you do this in the next month, we will get photo ID, proof of citizenship, and a limit to mail-in ballots… 

Trump: Let me just say stranger things have happened. I'll leave it at that. (MS NOW)

Prison time, maybe impeachment, paying out millions of dollars he and his family have stolen, returning gifts given to him by heads of state trying their hardest to bribe him, and alas alack no longer being a The King of the United States…these, ALL of these and probably some I have not even thought of are finding refuge in the space of Trumps brain that is not already infected and rotting from dementia and disease.

Trump acts as if any or all of his selfish and self-serving actions and intentions will not interfere with the Republicans maintaining their majority in Congress. He even brags aloud that he is not concerned with the Republican problems caused and created by Trump.

Paranoid, narcissistic, crime-ridden, and corrupt, the one thing that Trump does understand is that he must maintain his power, and Trump will, I believe, with the assistance of his Reich of helpers who hate America, hate Democracy, and despise our Constitution, do whatever he must to void out the upcoming Midterm elections.

Trump lies about almost everything, but the one thing he cannot lie about is his need to project his upcoming scheme of cringe and corruption. The writing has been on the wall; why does it seem so many in Washington seem to ignore reading it?

Triple header Trump

 Trump signs executive order that would roll back required childhood vaccines. The order recommends eliminating seven immunizations on the childhood vaccine schedule, a longtime goal of the so-called Make America Healthy Again movement. (MS NOW)

Move over measles and diarrhea; here come some once-upon-a-time diseases to make life even more miserable for the newest citizens of the United States. With Trump and Junior, you just can’t have enough diseases roaming free.

Regarding the current GOLF Outings by the wartime President, it seems that F-16 jets are flying over his golf courses. Seems Trump has lots of free time to play golf, while he argues that affordability is just a WOKE word. Wonder how much it costs the taxpayer for his Secret Service escort to play golf, and how really expensive it is to have F-16s flying overhead. Guess you can’t play golf in a White House Ballroom!

Trump amplifies message labeling GOP’s Murkowski a ‘traitor’ following Blanche vote. I’m hard pressed to imagine what the president thinks he’ll gain from going after a sitting senator from his own party in such a needlessly aggressive way. (MS NOW).

So, if this Senator is considered a traitor for not providing Trump’s personal lawyer to become Attorney General, then we must say that, in turn, those who voted for Blanche are considered Pedophile Protectors. Seems legit to me.

Oh, and have you noticed that Trump hasn’t called Susie (I am always concerned) Collins a traitor for not voting in a Pedophile Protector? I imagine it is because the GOP boys and girls in the Senate realized that Susie is up for re-election in a state where she is not so popular. So, I believe a deal was made for Susie to vote no, while paying off the three GOP Senators, Cornyn, Tillis, and the ever placid Cassidy.

Trump, three times today. Has zero care for the health and welfare and future of children, uses taxpayer dollars as if that bit of cash was his personal account, and hates anyone who dares decry Donnie’s pedophilia!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where is MY money

 Corporations are receiving the majority of the $166 billion in tariff refunds issued after the Supreme Court struck down the blanket tariffs, with little indication that consumers will see direct rebates. Some large companies like Amazon and Costco have announced plans to use refunds to lower prices, but most others have not committed to passing savings to customers. (inequality.org)

Picture this, America, or is it AMERIKA, 2026: some guy, actually a 34-count felon, a man found guilty of rape, an accused Pedophile, a person found guilty of fraud, a man who enjoys the luxuries of mob-boss-style kickbacks, pretends that he is the KNOW ALL BE ALL GURU of ECONOMICS! Based on nothing but his bogus, bull shit, and bigoted ego, suffering from a very sick case of malignant narcissism, this dude decides that raising tariffs on countries he loathes, or countries from which the leaders of those nations he loathes even more are the answer to make America great, of course again!

Of course, none of this illegal executive power grab could have existed if the spineless, ball-less, and cowardly Republicans in the majority gave two hoots about their constituents, rather than the priority of their own political power. But by now, anyone with an IQ over 2 knows full well that the current crop of Republicans is a self-serving, useless bunch of people who will do nothing to stop Trump and will commit to everything to save their own careers. (But I digress).

Surprisingly, the Heritage Foundation activists judged the Supreme Court, placed the Constitution as a priority above and beyond their wealthy donors, and said, NO TARIFFS, Trump, not because they are an economic disaster, but actually they are illegal originating from the Executive Branch!

BUT, here is the real AMERIKA 2026 kicker. The average consumer, you and me, and millions and millions of Americans who have overpaid for products are not going to be rewarded for the economic damages created by Herr Trump. Nope, once again, the Republican philosophy of things trickling down economically ain’t trickling down. Instead, the giant corporations that passed on the cost of the tariffs to the public will reap the refunds, adding not only their jacked-up prices to their profits but now lavishing themselves with the revenue the government was told to return.

Sometimes it just feels like everywhere we, as Americans, walk, we end up stepping ORANGE SHIT!

 

Another vacation...AGAIN

  

Congress is set to recess for the month of August 2026, returning on September 9, 2026. (RollCall.com)

The boys and girls need another vacation; no worries. This group of tax-paying freeloaders will still get paid, will still receive their paid-for health coverage, and the money will still flow freely into their retirement funds. 

Congress is leaving town because, well, just because.

I mean, we have a war in Iran. The Epstein Files are still a big, bad, dark, devious secret. The new Attorney General is still Trump’s private lawyer. The corruption of the entire Trump Family and his Corporations remains outrageous and right in our faces.

Tariffs are back in style. The Strait of Hormuz, the once open Strait, remains closed, and gas prices are climbing higher and higher. Affordability is unaffordable. ICE is still hiding behind masks and kidnapping people. Wildfires are blazing and burning in the United States. Health premiums for anyone who is not a Billionaire or a Federal Politician are out of control.

The cuts by Musk's DOGE are hurting everyday Americans, and measles and diarrhea are two of the most popular illnesses to haunt, hurt, and sicken Americans.

Trump is still pouting and lying about the 2020 elections and is no longer in the shadows but perfectly in our faces, preparing for either a declaration of martial law in November, inciting another insurrection, or plotting with his Fascists how to make certain the Midterms are no longer a demonstration of democracy in action.

BUT THE CONGRESS is taking yet another vacation, giving zero shits about the rest of the country!

 

KISS ME

 Sen. Bill Cassidy stated that confirming Todd Blanche is better than allowing President Trump to nominate someone else, implying that Blanche is likely a preferable choice despite his imperfections. (AXIOS)

Damn, shit, and fuck. Once again, Senator Bill Cassidy has demonstrated and become the poster boy for a spineless, ballless, incompetent, hypocrisy-laden, and miserable person within the Republican Party. This Senator has demonstrated the art of giving no shits, having zero conscience or self-awareness, and showcasing his uninterest in what is best for the sanctity of democracy and service to the people of America.

Billy Boy’s vote was once again the determining voice in the selection of a Trump puppet (Blanche), appeasing Trump rather than the needs of the American citizen. Billy Boy was the deciding vote to permit the “Roadkill/ Anti Vaccine/I snort heroin off a toilet seat, Bobby Junior Kennedy to become the most disgusting HHS Director in the history of the United States, and once again, as if he has no introspective abilities, he presumed that to permit a rotten candidate to succeed was some kind of a noble gesture. 

Billy Cassidy said aloud that selecting Todd Blanche was a bad idea, but that doing so somehow offset the fear that someone even worse could or would be the Trump nominee. Umm, Billy Cassidy, if in fact someone even worse than Todd Blanche had been presented by Trump, you too could have voted no for that person!

So, along with the EUNICHS, like Tom Tillis and John Coryn, Billy Cassidy has demonstrated that law and order, truth and justice do matter as much as their support for the criminal agenda and priority of Trump. 

Todd Blanche remains Trump’s personal and private attorney. He met with Ghislaine Maxwell for hours on end and provided her with a cushy cell in prison. He met for just about an hour with the victims of the Epstein pedophiles; he never officially agreed to stop pursuing the Trump Han 6^th slush fund, and he never has agreed to end the payments of the January 6^th Insurrectionists.

And now Billy Cassidy, without any shame or any conscience, once again has cast the deciding vote to permit one more Trump shill to have the power of INJUSTICE.

And ain’t it interesting that his vote to permit Todd Blanche to continue to cover up the crimes of Trump allowed Susie (I am concerned) Collins to vote no. 

Sonny: Kiss me, man. Moretti: What? Sonny: Kiss me. When I am being fucked, I like to be kissed. (The movie ‘Dog Day Afternoon/Frank Pierson)

 

I am confused

 I am confused, let alone confused, not to mention concerned.

I am a Democrat. (I remember way back in the dark ages, growing up in a family that supported Adlai Stevenson for President against Dwight D. Eisenhower.) I remember hearing my parents comment that Republicans hated Democracy, and to be a Republican was to admit to bigotry and racism, and this was in the early 1950s. 

I acknowledged my support for Democrats as a kid in college, and when I became a parent, I understood that the best bet for the future of my children was to support the political party that actually tried to put people's welfare over their own selfish interests.

I have become way too savvy to think that just voting Democrat was the only way to protect American values, and I have become way too knowledgeable and less gullible to think that all Democrats were perfect. But in the end, when comparing the two political parties, I remain a fan of Democrats.

But here is the rub: for me, if you will, it seems that way too many Democrats do not look at the entire political picture, preferring, so it seems to me, to choose what might seem good to them personally over what it takes to actually win in an election.

I am Progressive. I am Liberal. But in the year 2026, when the most important priority should be removing Trump’s power, and ridding ourselves of a Republican Party whose priority is to Trump and not the average American, I worry that, once again Democrats seem to ignore the facts that now more than ever, it might be time to compromise on their candidates, because, now more than ever, if the democrats do not take control of Congress, there will be no tomorrow.

In some primary elections, the democrats have voted for candidates who are not moderates. They are candidates who seem attractive to Democrats, but are they the people who, in an election, can sway the Independents and some Republicans?

I want change; I want new and vibrant politicians in power, but I believe that none of that can happen until Democrats win in Congress. Change must happen, but right now, if the only change we witness is within the Democratic Party rather than the general public, will that change ever see fruition?

I worry that American political history has demonstrated that if the change is within a particular party and is isolated from the general electorate, will that change find footing?

If a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it hit the ground, did that tree really fall?

 

 

Let's be CLEAR

 Let’s be CLEAR:

Now the Oath Keepers, who spearheaded the attempted Insurrection on January 6^th, are suddenly no longer enemies of the state, which translates into how fucked up a nation of laws we have become is one step further into Trump’s plan to void and null the Midterm elections. Why? Because once again the Trump Reich is providing cover for those whom he will recruit to disrupt, disparage, and dilute the results of “we the people,” when we the November of 2026! Trump is recruiting his newest “Brown Shirts” to become his private militia to create havoc and chaos when and if the Democrats become a majority in Congress. 

Todd Blanche is acting Attorney General, but he is not acting; he is indeed acting as Trump’s personal attorney, doing everything in his power to avoid justice and ignore the law, and remaining loyal, not to the American public, but to his client. The faux bravado of Senators Cornyn and Tillis, pretending they actually give two shits about the law and the Constitution, was a sad, slick sideshow that eventually ended in shame and brought more shame to these two men, who seem to prefer loyalty to the King over the American people.

Justice and lawfulness, truth and honesty, fairness and honor do not exist within the Trump Reich. FOX personality Pirro tried her best to actually obey the law, but in her quest to save herself from any kind of disbarment, she summoned the ire and anger of both Trump and his In-Justice Department. Pirro knew from the beginning that the Reflecting Pool bullshit lawsuit was riddled with errors and false holds. She remained a loyal dupe until realizing that continuing to lie for Trump actually had the consequence of her losing her license and becoming one more fool. Of course, for Trump and his hand puppet, Blanche, truth is like acid, so both of these men are now ready to cut the throat of a member of the Cult because she proclaimed justice and truth, only trying to save herself.

Let’s be CLEAR: truth, honor, the law, the facts, the evidence do not matter to Trump, who is fighting for his life to remain President and get out of jail, and his henchman, Blanche, whose only allegiance is to his idol. And yet the Republican majority in Congress seems to have zero problems in supporting this Dictator.
