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.

Rhetorically speaking

 DHS officials insist agents must remain anonymous “for their safety,” while simultaneously defending an agency whose officers routinely conceal their identities while terrorizing families, separating children, and — in this case — allegedly killing a mother.

Let’s be clear: This didn’t happen in a vacuum. It happened after years of abuse, secrecy, lies, and impunity. It happened because ICE and Border Patrol have been shielded from consequences while being unleashed on communities with militarized power and political cover. (Occupy Democrats)

If, in fact, ICE and Border Patrol Agents are doing the job of arresting just the criminals who happen to be in the United States illegally, of course, not the immigrant criminals who have successfully bribed Trump and his family, and they are following the law of just arresting the criminals, then as a public citizen I must beg the question why hide their identity. What is it they fear, if indeed, they are doing a job to make America a safer place?

Now, of course, this is a rhetorical question, because, unless you voted for Trump, pretending that as a billionaire fraudster, his only intention is to make America a better place for you, then by now you truly must be fucking frustrated as to why nothing is being done to stop this cover-up! At least when Hitler sent out his Secret Police, his Brown Shirts, his Gestapo, they did their dirty deeds without masks. This begs the question, how much more rotten are the ICE and Border Patrol in Trump’s Amerika!

Respecting fear

 “Trump isn’t interested in being honorable — he’d rather be feared. An America that betrays her commitments by force or by threat of force will find the cost of political capital exorbitantly expensive.” (Los Angeles Times)

This article should come as no surprise to anyone who is not currently living inside Trump’s orange anal cavity. Many people who have known Trump from his earliest days of being given a million dollars by his Racist and Bigoted father, have implied that Trump had a deep desire to emulate Mob Bosses. From the literature, to films, to the real life headlines, we the people have gleaned an understanding that in the world of the Mafia, “MIGHT MAKES RIGHT!”

“President Trump and many of his admirers believe he’s “restoring” America’s reputation on the world stage. Trump himself often says that we’ve “never been more respected.” “The deeper confusion is about what he means by “respect.” From the way Trump talks about geopolitics, it’s clear he equates “respect” with a Machiavellian mix of “fear,” “strength” or “power.” That is one definition. For instance, many people respect China as an economic and military power. But such respect is not synonymous with “admiration.” Everyone respects North Korea as a nuclear power. But few non-deranged people admire the Hermit Kingdom in any other way.” (Los Angeles Times)

Trump demands respect; he does not wish to earn it, but by simply stating he deserves respect, he believes, as most lies he spews, that once he says it is so, IT IS SO. Sadly for we the people, those who actually have the power via the Constitution to who can actually intervene in Trump’s make-believe world, and end his dystopian machinations, they too have been trained to be afraid. Be it threatened with a primary or subpoenaed or sued or have their billionaire donors abandon them or be told that the MAGA Christian Nationalists will tar and feather them, those with the power to stop this madness won’t, and don’t. 

We the people, watch, wait, worry, and wonder, what comes next?

 

 

 

YES, YOU

 “The Norway-based NGO  Human Rights (IHR) said it had confirmed 648 people killed during the protests, including nine minors, and thousands more injuries, but warned the death toll was likely much higher -- "according to some estimates more than 6,000", it said.

IHR added that the internet shutdown made it "extremely difficult to independently verify these reports". It said an estimated 10,000 people had also been arrested.” (AFP News)

If you first read this headline, you would not be called foolish if, even for a second, you thought it was about current events in America regarding Trump and his SS Secret Police. And with the latest news, that “Hundreds more federal agents deploying to Minnesota after ICE shooting,” you might actually contemplate that the above headline is predicting the immediate future in America.

The headline about death, harassment, injury, and dictatorship crackdown emanates from Iran, but if you study the current conditions in the United States, you could shake your head in amazement and say, we are not too far from that Hellish reality.

Because Trump can’t help himself but add more fuel to the fires he has already started, he, of course, is sending more of his SS Secret Police to Minnesota…why, well, because he is a very sick man psychologically and loves to showcase his sadistic side. And so far, it has been the Democrats and a slight, slight handful of Republicans in power who have voiced their disapproval.

Like the Iranian Dictatorship, Trump and his American Fascists are looking for any excuse to declare a form of Martial Law and then pretend it is the PROTESTORS at fault for collapsing the current government.  Pay close attention, all of you who voted for Trump, pretending that you thought he was gonna be your guy…cause Trump’s list of enemies, when it runs out will begin all over again, and, YES YOU, most likely will become the next victims!

 

 

 

 

DISRESPECTFUL!

 'Woman was very disrespectful': Trump on Minneapolis shooting by ICE agent. (Donald Trump)

Renee Good, a 37-year-old Minneapolis mom, was fatally shot, let’s use the correct word, MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD, by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, Jonathan Ross, and the first thing Trump has to say regarding this action by his Secret Police is that she was disrespectful. 

Renee Good was MURDERED by Jonathan Ross, who was hired by Kristi Noam following the orders of Stephen Miller, who had been hired by Donald Trump, an American citizen using her Constitutional right to protest, and Trump, minus any human abilities of empathy or compassion, but full of sadistic tendencies, states that Renee Good was disrespectful.

Of course, Trump and his cohorts of his SS Secret Police goons only thrive on hypocrisy, and their oxygen is lies and double standards.

The Capitol Police on January 6^th, who were beaten and died, BUT, somehow in Trump Land did not deserve respect. The Trump insurrectionist Klansmen and women, who tried their hardest to MURDER each and every Capitol Police person, were pardoned, as if their actions were nothing to worry about and were NOT DISRESPECTFUL!

From Just Dance Vance, to the Republicans in power, to the Propagandists of FOX, to Pam Bondi, to Trump, it seems that murdering Americans who disagree with the Fascist policies of the Trump Regime is as American as German Pie…but touch a SS Secret Police thug makes you a Domestic Terrorist. 

 

Anxiety, Anguish, and Angst

 So here I go again, thinking out loud about the current events I find myself living through as an American citizen in 2025, and, sadly, so far in this infant year of 2026. Each day, at least for me, has become more treacherous to maneuver. When I awaken, I shudder and shake whenever it is time to look at my phone, wondering if today is the day when all freedoms cease to exist. 

Trump, the Putin Asset, is declaring that the Western Hemisphere is his and he will control it as he sees fit. It has almost become Make the Western Hemisphere Great Again. And, by doing so, Trump has proudly permitted Putin to Make Europe Russian Again. I mean id Trump can declare a whole hemisphere as his, surely Putin can easily make a whole continent his.

We now have the American version of the Gestapo, called ICE, and it seems that the Republicans in power have no problem with that being the case. If an ICE agent can, in broad daylight, murder an American Citizen in cold blood, and the only response by those Republicans is she had it coming, then, indeed, they have condoned this American Gestapo.

The Emperor Trump has decided that health care, groceries, and shelter are less important than erecting buildings in his honor. No money for you or me, but tons and tons of money to build THE TRUMP DISTRICT OF DONALD.

And pay close attention to how the blue cities in the blue states are being picked off one by one by Trump, you know the places that, in large majorities, did not vote for him. I believe this is an attempt to keep people in those regions of the country terrified and afraid. So, before Trump declares Martial Law, he is trying his best to intimidate the voters who vote blue. If that does not work, he will declare martial law a few months before the midterms.

It makes my gut feel a little better if I say these fears out loud. It does not erase the fear, but by speaking out loud, I can make room for even more anxiety, anguish and angst.

 

Even more!

 “Minnesota officials have called the shooting unjustified, pointing to bystander video they say showed Good's vehicle turning away from the agent as he fired.

Noem and other U.S. officials have maintained that the agent acted in self-defense because Good, a volunteer in a community network that monitors and records ICE operations in Minneapolis, drove forward in the direction of the agent who then shot her, after another agent had approached the driver's side and told her to get out of the car.” (Reuters)

The murderers of the Noam/Trump Gestapo continue to deny any responsibility for their heinous acts, and by not intervening and letting true justice take its course, Noam/Trump Gestapo have signaled to their Soldiers of Fortune, that not only can they murder anyone who they feel has emasculated them, but they will not be help accountable for the death and destruction they cause.

And because Trump is a Psychopath and a Malignant Narcissist, insecure in his own skin, and a bully, Trump will make the matters in Minneapolis even worse: “Homeland Security to send hundreds more officers to Minnesota, Noem says.”

 

 

 

PSYCOPAHTY/MALIGNENT NARCISSIM

 Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterized by a lack of empathy or remorse, impulsive and manipulative behavior, and antisocial tendencies. Individuals with psychopathy often exhibit superficial charm and may engage in criminal activities. (Psychology Today)

If the mental illness fits… then, by God, wear it, and Trump dresses up in this mental illness each and every day of his life.

If ya haven’t paid much attention to the actions of this malignant narcissist before today, then wake up, you fool and pay close attention! A malignant narcissist is a person who exhibits extreme narcissism combined with antisocial behavior, paranoia, and sadistic tendencies. They often manipulate and harm others to fulfill their own needs, lacking empathy and remorse for their actions. (Psychology Today)

We have serving in the most powerful position in the world, an individual suffering from TWO, count ‘em TWO personality disorders, and he continues, unimpeded, to disrupt the health and welfare of every single person living in this nation, including you, who voted for him pretending that he was the go-to guy to make America great again!

Read the words describing this mental illness: lack of empathy or remorse, manipulative and impulsive behavior, antisocial tendencies, paranoia, and sadistic tendencies. 

Trump is all of the above. Perhaps many of his Cabinet and Republican Leaders are all of the above, and worse, if anyone out there continues to support this man, you too are suffering from kind incurable mental illness, or you are just one hell of idiot!

you don't , say

 Donald Trump has expressed strong support for the protesters in Iran, calling them "brave people" and warning the Iranian government against harming them, stating that the U.S. is closely monitoring the situation and may intervene if necessary. He emphasized that Iran is in "big trouble" and highlighted the ongoing unrest as a significant moment for the Iranian people seeking freedom. (Al Jazeera)

Interesting, ain’t it, no, the words I think I am looking for are fucked up, pathetic, and oh yeah, what the fuck!

So, Trump says he may intervene if the government of Iran does something as horrible as shooting its citizens. You know, like the recent murder in Minneapolis, owned and operated by the US government. Or you know the kidnapped of American citizens by the US government.  Trump emphasized “…that Iran is in ‘big trouble’ and highlighted the ongoing unrest as a significant moment for the Iranian people seeking freedom…” 

How convenient, or rather how like Trump, to have zero insight or take any culpability for his own anti democracy actions. Here we have another example of a man out of touch with reality, only to smother himself, with the support of his sycophants, within his fabricated reality.  As bad as it has always seemed to be, it just gets worse!

TOTALITARIANISM: AUTHORITARIANISM:

 It is called GOVERNMENT GUILT. It is called a cover up. It is called propaganda. And IT, is what the Trump Reich has always been very good at doing, knowing that a large percentage of his cultists desire how to be instructed as to what they see, what they hear and what they should feel. It is called TOTALITARIANISM: Totalitarian regimes typically violate basic human rights and deny common freedoms in maintaining total control over their citizens. It is called AUTHORITARIANISM: Through largely passive techniques such as propaganda, authoritarian states work to win the blind, voluntary submission of their citizens.

“The killing of a US citizen by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis was a five-alarm fire for the Trump administration. But a torrent of untruths, half-truths, smears and innuendo has been unleashed by the White House, and amplified by its social media and cable television acolytes, in an attempt to douse the flames.” (The Guardian)

Both TOTALITARIANISM and AUTHORITARIANISM are key building blocks to keep a Dictator in power, and to provide free access for their own Army of protectors and enablers to inflict as much pain on the population, erasing many personal freedoms.

ICE, I believe, Trump’s intended private militia, seems to be immune from any crimes they commit. His legion of doom lackeys understands that their allegiance to Trump keeps their power in place, and Trump knows very well that inflicting fear and violence is what keeps him in power.   How many more Americans will be murdered in cold blood before change happens in this nation is a sad question to be asking!

 

 

Minneapolis Murder

 “FIRST THE SHOOTING. THEN THE LIES. The Trump administration has perfected the smear campaign.” 

“There’s a lot we don’t know about the shooting of Renee Nicole Good, who was killed yesterday by federal immigration agents deployed to Minnesota. But in the chaotic aftermath of the shooting, one thing became immediately clear: The Trump administration was lying about what happened.” (The Atlantic)

Commit a crime, cover it up with lies. That about sums up the Trump Reich and the Republican Fascists in places of power. Hire a bunch of I could give a shit about the truth Militia and wham bam, no thank you ma’am death and destruction, and no one gives a shit about the crimes committed.

And oh yeah, consider this, the same group of Trump Fascists are going to investigate this murder in Minneapolis, who were supposed to look into the Epstein Files, the Venezuelan Fishing Boats, and the immigrants who suddenly disappeared into foreign countries with any due process.

The Trump Gestapo gets away with another crime, and we, the people, are supposed to just look the other way. And yes, NONE OF THIS could continue to happen if Trump and his Brown Shirts were not given permission to maim and murder by the Republicans in Congress and, of course, the Heritage Foundation Supremes!

 

 

 

 

 

Not another, "Just Say No!"

War on Drugs, as if!

Drugs and Immigrants and Trans People, really good propaganda fodder bullshit offered by Trump and his Republican spineless folly of Congresspeople! Use those three categories and get those God Bless (not just any God, the White Jesus God) to ignore the fact that while they are donning their white robes and red MAGA hats, they are being duped, conned, and hoodwinked.

Republicans confirm former Fox News contributor as the nation’s new drug czar. There’s no reason to believe the president’s growing Team of Amateurs will be better this year than last year. The Senate confirmed journalist Sara Carter to oversee federal drug policy by a 52-48 vote Tuesday. A former Fox News contributor who has reported on drug trafficking, Carter will lead the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy as President Donald Trump’s top drug policy adviser. (MS NOW)

One more Trump adoring person from FOX, you know, the place where they had to pay millions for all their lies, is hired by Trump and, of course, confirmed by the majority of Republicans, who have no intention of ever denying their Mob Boss his wishes is hired to do a job in which she is totally unqualified to do. The Senate confirmed journalist Sara Carter to oversee federal drug policy by a 52-48 vote Tuesday. (MS NOW)

Every previous head of the Office of National Drug Control Policy — the position generally known as the nation’s “drug czar” — had served in some kind of public office before taking the job, usually having worked in law enforcement, the military, public health agencies or some combination thereof. Carter, however, covered the drug trade for Fox News for many years — and for Trump and 52 Senate Republicans, that was enough. (MS NOW)

Yep here we go, regarding the Republicans and their REAL CONCERN regarding drugs. This is so reminiscent of Nancy Reagan and her dipshit brain-dead husband, Ronnie, pretending that they gave a shit about illegal drugs, when Nancy said, “JUST SAY NO!”

 

  

Another COVER-UP

 “ICE agent was not in the vehicle’s path when he fired at driver, video shows. An analysis of video footage raises questions about claims by President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem about the fatal shooting in Minneapolis.” (The Washington Post)

One more murder, committed by one more ICE Agent of Doom. One more innocent victim, taken by the whims and the actions of Trump’s Private Militia. And once again, the Republican majority in Congress prefers to look the other way, pretending that civil violence within this nation, when initiated by their Dear Leader, is just a big nothing to see here event. 

“In the aftermath, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem said the woman had committed an act of “domestic terrorism,” first disobeying officers’ commands and then weaponizing her SUV by attempting to “run a law enforcement officer over.” President Donald Trump said the woman “violently, willfully and viciously ran over the ICE officer.” (The Washington Post)

But of course, the standard lie repeated and repeated, and repeated by the Trump Fascist Accolades is that somehow the murdered or tortured, or kidnapped victims were, by disobeying ICE, weaponizing themselves, and but of course, the only recourse the ICE THUGS have is to use as much force as they can even if it turns out to be lethal! 

FBI takes over investigation into ICE killing of Minneapolis woman. The move leaves the probe in the hands of the Trump administration, which already calls the shooting justified. (MS NOW)

But of course, another one of Trump’s toadies is now the one in charge of this murderous event, and of course, the cover-up will commence. The ICE murderer will be free to kill again. And once more, the Trump Reich covers up another crime, first Pedophilia, and now Murder!

 

 

 

MURDER INC./USA

 MURDER INC./USA!

“US immigration agent fatally shoots woman in Minneapolis, mayor disputes government claim of self-defense” (Reuters)

An American sitting in her car is murdered by Trump’s Gestapo, ICE. She is dead, just one more human murdered by Trump’s Gestapo, ICE.  ICE, masked and armed, aimed at the woman and shot her in her head, BUT yet, as is ALWAYS the case with ICE, Trump’s Gestapo, they have no remorse, take no responsibility, and pretend that the well-armed and well-armored ICE Gestapo shot her in self-defense!

“A U.S. immigration agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman in her car in Minneapolis on Wednesday amid an immigration enforcement surge, according to local and federal officials, the latest violent incident during President Donald Trump's nationwide crackdown on migrants.” (Reuters)

Not one kidnapping, not one separation of mother from daughter, husband from wife, or murder is ever the result of ICE being permitted to break the law; it is, according to the Brown Shirts who run ICE, or the Border Patrol, or the FBI, or the Justice Department, or Homeland Security a matter of self-defense…and so far, without any intervention from the Republican Majority sitting in Congress, not a fucking thing has been done to bring these criminals to justice.

I am tired of this being just one more day in Trump’s America. I am tired of being fearful to read the news. I am tired of watching my country fall prey to the demented ideas of people like Stephen Miller, Kristi Noam, Kash Patel, the Republican Majority in Congress, and Trump. I am frustrated, frazzled, dazed, and confused. I want MURDER INC/USA to stop, and I want those who have the power to make it stop, just do it already!

 

 

TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS

 “After the U.S. military’s capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro last weekend, Trump told NBC News that he believes the U.S. oil industry could get expanded operations “up and running” in the country in less than 18 months.

“I think we can do it in less time than that, but it’ll be a lot of money,” he said. “A tremendous amount of money will have to be spent and the oil companies will spend it, and then they’ll get reimbursed by us or through revenue.” (MS NOW)

“A tremendous amount of money,” so says Trump. Now that tremendous amount of money Trump is once again anticipating spending, of course, ain’t coming from his wallet, you know, like the Trump Ballroom, or the Trump Arch in Washington, or the Trump invasion of Venezuela, or the anticipated Trump annexing of Greenland, or the Trump classification of Naval Battleships…NOPE, any money being spent on all of those Trump narcissistic and sadistic projects will be coming from the taxpayer.

But ya’ notice, when it comes to health care, groceries, shelter, welfare, social programs, there AIN’T NO tremendous amount of taxpayer money available to spend. But ya’ notice whenever Trump is not somehow the recipient of honor, or financial gain, there ain’t no tremendous amount of money to be had.

I believe Trump believes the US Treasury is his private bank account. And I believe, so far, Trump’s Congress (yes, he now owns that) has little problem in letting Trump have it all!

 

 

FIVE YEARDS AGO

 FIVE YEARS AGO. JANUARY 6, 2021. AN ATTEMPTED INSURRECTION. A TRUMP LEAD, A TRUMP INSPIRED, A TRUMP PLOT, A TRUMP PLAN TO END DEMOCRACY AS WE KNEW IT IN THE UNITED STATES.

FIVE YEARS LATER, and Trump is once again sitting in the Oval Office, as the President of the United States. The guy who tried to screw this nation once, and was, conveniently, not convicted of his crimes, by the Republicans in Congress, has regained the power to, this time around FUCK the living daylights out of American Democracy!

FIVE YEARS AGO, TODAY. And today, we the people are suffering the dire consequences of a madman who desires to become the Emperor of the Western Hemisphere, the guy who seemingly will permit his cohorts of evil, like Putin and Xi, to become the emperors of their own hemispheres. Once again, with the permission of the Republicans in Congress, this criminal is getting away with murder.

FIVE YEARS LATER, and it seems no lessons have been learned. FIVE YEARS LATER, and we still witness the same insane man, even more sinister, run amok, run rampant, and run any semblance of morals or values, justice or law into the ground. It is once again history repeating itself, and it is as if those with any power to stop it have gone blind!
