We are officially in a POLICE STATE

In a bizarre directive that could have been written by the staff of The Onion or Putin’s secret police, National Security Presidential Memorandum-7 (NSPM-7), Donald Trump ordered the FBI, DOJ, and more than 200 federal Joint Terrorism Task Forces (coordinating FBI with local police forces across the country) to seek out and investigate any person or group who meet it’s “indica” (indicators) of potential domestic terrorism. They include,
“[A]nti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, anti-Christianity … extremism on migration, extremism on race, extremism on gender, hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.”
  • Have you ever spoken ill of our country or its policies, particularly under Trump?
  • Trash-talked capitalism or praised socialism on social media?
  • Publicly questioned Christianity or professed loyalty to Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Paganism, or any other non-Christian belief system or religion?
  • Embraced the trans or more general queer community?
  • Spoken out in defense of single-parenting, gay marriage, or same-sex couples adopting children?
  • Said things or carried a sign that might hurt the feelings of masked ICE agents, Trump, or Kristi Noem?
Just imagining that any of these could trigger FBI agents knocking on our doors was so grotesque a notion that when the story first appeared four months ago, it was reported and then largely dismissed by mainstream media within the same day. Now, in a second bombshell report, Klippenstein has obtained and published a copy of Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Dec. 4 memo ordering the FBI to actually begin Russia-style investigations of people and groups who fit into the categories listed above. Not only that, Bondi also ordered the FBI to go back as far as five years in their investigations of our social media posts, protest attendance, and other activities to find evidence of our possible adherence to these now-forbidden views. Just being anti-fascist is, in Bondi’s eyes, apparently now a crime in America. From her memo to the FBI:
“Further, this [anti-fascist] ideology that paints legitimate government authority and traditional, conservative viewpoints as ‘fascist’ connects a recent string of political violence. Carvings on the bullet casings of Charlie Kirk’s assassin’s bullets read, ‘Hey, fascist, catch’ and ‘Bella Ciao’ — an ode to antifascist movements in Italy. … ICE agents are regularly doxed by anti-fascists, and calls to dox ICE agents appear in the same sentence of opinion pieces calling the Trump Administration fascist.”
At the same time, ICE is using a chunk of the massive budget the Big Ugly Bill gave them — larger than the budget of the FBI or any other police agency in America (or, probably, any other police agency in the world outside of China and Russia) — to buy tools they can use to spy on “anti-fascist” people who protest or oppose their actions. In a report titled “ICE Wants to Go After Dissenters as well as Immigrants,” the Brennan Center for Justice details how the agency has acquired “a smorgasbord of spy technology: social media monitoring systems, cellphone location tracking, facial recognition, remote hacking tools, and more.” They’ve reportedly acquired devices that spoof cellphone towers, so if you’re near them your phone will connect, thinking it’s talking to your cell carrier. Once the connection is established, ICE and/or DHS can monitor every communication to or from your phone and possibly even download all the content on your phone including emails, pictures, apps, and your browsing history. They’re tying into nationwide networks of license-plate readers, airport facial recognition systems, and using federal surveillance drones to monitor people they consider enemies of the agency. And they’re carefully combing your social media content for posts, likes, and reposts they consider objectionable. As the Brennan Center noted:
“Homeland Security Investigations recently signed a multimillion dollar contract for a social media monitoring platform called Zignal Labs that claims to ingest and analyze more than 8 billion posts a day. The agency is also paying millions to Penlink for monitoring tools that gather information from multiple sources, including social media platforms, the dark web, and databases of location data.”
ICE is also acquiring Russian-style spy software that can remotely target your phone without your realizing it, infect it with the equivalent of an “ICE virus,” and then have your phone send them everything you do, say, hear, or see on an ongoing basis for months. The only clue you’ll have will probably be that your battery life seems to have dropped as your phone is pumping out to ICE your data and everything the microphone in it picks up, all without your knowledge or permission. This Putin-style sort of “search” without a legal warrant is the sort of thing that King George III’s officers did against the colonists (although back then it was reading their mail, spying on them in person, and kicking in their doors) in the 1770s that provoked our nation’s Founders to write in the Fourth Amendment to our Constitution:
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
It’s also a clear violation of the First Amendment’s protection of our rights to “free speech” and “peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” When Putin ended democracy in Russia, he defined the people who protested his policies as domestic terrorists and had his secret police go after them in ways that are shockingly similar to what ICE is launching and Bondi is ordering the FBI to do. It’s chillingly un-American.

The admiral in charge of U.S. military forces in Latin America will retire two years early on Friday, amid rising tensions with Venezuela that include Wednesday’s seizure of an oil tanker and more than 20 deadly strikes on suspected drug-smuggling boats.

Treatment Of "Others"

Here in Amsterdam Eileen and I just stood inside the tiny, suffocating rooms where Anne Frank and seven others hid for two long years because they were different. They were hidden behind a movable set of book shelves. The walls felt like they were closing in, as if they still held the fear, the whispers, the constant dread of footsteps on the stairs. The newspaper and magazine clippings that they had hung on the walls were still there today. That was so eerie. It’s impossible to be there and not feel the weight of what they endured while the Nazis roamed the streets outside their door (and risk of the people downstairs noticing them), risking their family being torn apart and sending many thousands to be tortured and to their deaths.

 

Reading Anne’s words—her dreams, her hopes, her terror—was almost unbearable. Both Eileen and I were crying. Anne wrote about not being allowed outside. Not being able to walk freely to a store. Not being welcome in theaters, shops, schools, or any part of normal life. All the basic freedoms we take for granted were stripped from her simply because of who she was.

Then in 1945 even after the landings at Normandy the goons did come up those stairs and the eight of them sent to three different concentration camps, they all but one gentleman (her father) died or were killed in the ovens. Along with those who helped them.

Standing there, I couldn’t help thinking about the world today. While the circumstances are different, so many people now (in 2025!) —especially immigrants and those seen as “outsiders”—are living with fear, hostility, and exclusion. First it was the bad illegals, now it is just those from certain countries! People not paid a living wage, then because their State did not vote for the President their hospitals are closing and their food benefits are now taken away.  They face doors closing in their faces, hatred shouted at them, and policies that make their lives small, restricted, and uncertain. It’s painful to watch, and even more painful to realize how quickly society can turn on people who look or sound different.

What a terrible thing—to see echoes of past injustice appearing in front of our eyes, in our own time. It breaks my heart.

In just 10 months in office, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has pinballed from one embarrassing scandal after another. In March, it was his use of the Signal messaging app, which a Pentagon inspector general’s report, scheduled to be released Thursday, concluded that Hegseth put military operations and service members at risk. Now, it’s more recent allegations that under his leadership, the U.S. military may have committed war crimes in its undeclared war against drug traffickers. However, the only thing surprising about this latest black eye for Hegseth’s tenure is that it took this long for  such atrocities to happen. If there is a single defining element to Hegseth’s view of the military, it is that “might makes right” and that the laws of armed conflict, which have long guided how U.S. soldiers comport themselves on the battlefield, are for losers. Hegseth’s 2024 book, “The War on Warriors,” is filled with evidence of his disdain for what he terms “academic rules of engagement which have been tying the hands of our warfighters for too long.” And now he has brought his shoot-first, ask-questions-later approach to the Pentagon.

Trump Makes Panicked Move as Affordability Crisis Shatters His Polls

The president will go on a very expensive  national tour to insist there is nothing wrong with the economy.

Donald Trump is preparing a national public-appearance blitz amid concerns that he is ignoring the financial anxiety of tens of millions of Americans.

The president will appear in the key swing state of Pennsylvania on Tuesday to try to convince voters that his economic plans are working, with additional events expected this month and into the new year across the country, Axios reports.

The nationwide push comes as Trump faces mounting criticism that he is too focused on foreign policy during his second term and increasingly out of touch with how Americans are struggling in a cost-of-living crisis.

On Thursday, a devastating Politico poll found that nearly half (46 percent) of U.S. adults say the cost of living is the “worst they can ever remember it being,” including 37 percent of voters who supported Trump in 2024.

More Corruption

 
BREAKING: Trump gets caught funneling $620 million to Don Jr. with a record loan to his investment firm — and it’s all about those magnets that Drowsy Don doesn’t understand.

In the latest episode of the never-ending MAGA money machine, Donald Trump Jr. just scored yet another massive government payday — this time a jaw-dropping $620 million Defense Department loan — thanks to a rare-earths start-up quietly backed by his own venture firm.

That’s right: while President Donald Trump rambles on national television about how “nobody knows what a magnet is,” his son is cashing in on them like they’re the secret to eternal life.

Vulcan Elements, the barely known company boosted by Trump Jr.’s 1789 Capital in August, is suddenly getting the largest loan the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital has ever issued. And — surprise! — it’s only the newest in a string of fat government contracts funneled to firms connected to Trump Jr.’s portfolio. Four of them have already raked in $735 million since the president returned to office in January.

Ethics experts are sounding the alarm, warning that presidents are supposed to avoid even the appearance of funneling taxpayer money into their own family’s pockets. But this administration has blown straight past “appearance” and into full-blown “walking conflict of interest in broad daylight.”

And if it weren’t so corrupt, it would almost be funny: President Trump spent November insisting on Fox News that magnets are mysterious forces nobody understands — apparently unaware that scientists cracked that code two centuries ago. Critics couldn’t help but note the uncanny similarity to Insane Clown Posse’s legendary line, “F—ing magnets, how do they work?”

Turns out it’s pretty simple — when your dad runs the government, magnets work extremely well — especially for your bank account.

The Washington Shooter and a Deadly Offer He Could Not Refuse

The former Afghan fighter who killed one National Guard member and left a second critically injured just two blocks from the White House may have been blackmailed into carrying out the shooting, 

U.S. intelligence is investigating information that a Taliban hit squad threatened to murder Rahmanullah Lakanwal’s family in Afghanistan unless he opened fire on American troops in the nation’s capital.

Donald Trump and his MAGA acolytes, including FBI Director Kash Patel, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, and “War” Secretary Pete Hegseth, have described the 29-year-old married father-of-five as a “monster” and a “terrorist” and insisted he would likely face the death penalty.

But investigators are asking themselves why a man who was vetted by two administrations, and with no criminal record and no history of extremism, should drive across the country on an apparent suicide mission to shoot at heavily armed U.S. military personnel with a revolver.

One line of inquiry they are seriously pursuing, according to sources with knowledge of the investigation, is that Lakanwal was made an offer he could not refuse. Either he accepted the mission, or his family in Afghanistan would be beaten, murdered, and possibly beheaded a they have done to other families.

 

  My Lai Lesson to Donald Trump    Donald Trump and his Secretary of Warrior may like to check their military histories under “My Lai” to see what happens when troops carry out an illegal order. On March 16, 1968, American soldiers from Charlie Company, 11th Brigade, Americal Division, entered the village of My Lai in Vietnam. “This is what you’ve been waiting for—search and destroy—and you’ve got it,” the men were told by their superior officers. And the killing began. By the time the smoke had cleared, more than 300 unarmed men, women and children were dead. In the awful aftermath, as full details of the massacre emerged, the U.S. top brass deemed it necessary to better educate service members about the military legal system. Lt. General William Jones, commander of the Fleet Marine Force in the Pacific, sent a letter on August 15, 1972, along with a booklet to the Marines as an attempt to provide a “ready reference on the legal system for the individual Marine,” and urged those under his command to ask questions.   The booklet was disseminated after the height of the Vietnam War but months before the U.S. withdrawal the following year. Chapter Six focused on the legality of orders. It outlined that obedience to orders is a “fundamental concept” of the Marine Corps, but noted “the order given must be a legal one.”   “1. Am I required to obey illegal orders? A. No, you are not,” it states in bold. “ 2. Suppose someone gives me an illegal order, I obey it, and I am subsequently charged with an offense because of my obeying that illegal order? Can I use obedience to orders as a valid defense to the charge? A. No, you cannot. Since you are not required to obey an illegal order, your compliance with it is not a defense.”   But the guidance to Marines stationed in the Pacific (FMFPAC) did not stop there.   “3. How can I tell if an order is legal or illegal? A. It’s not as hard as it sounds. Most of the cases wherein this issue has been raised involved killings of humans under circumstances such that compliance with the order to kill would clearly be murder. If you rely on common sense and judgement, you should be all right.”   The specific example in the booklet of one such illegal order given to Marines was shooting a prisoner who was subdued or did not pose an immediate threat.   “4. What should I do if I receive an order which I consider to be illegal? A. Advise the individual giving the order that you consider the order to be illegal and that you are not going to comply for that reason.”   So why was it so wrong for six Democratic Party lawmakers to urge troops not to obey unlawful orders? To Trump and Pete Hegseth it was sedition, and they launched investigations into the Democrat  “traitors.”   More to the point, should Admiral Frank M. “Mitch” Bradley have followed the order reportedly given by Hegseth to leave no one alive in the narco boat strike in the Caribbean on September 2? The U.S. fired one missile that killed almost all on board the Venezuelan vessel and a follow-up to finish off the two survivors.   It seems pretty clear what Lt. General Jones would have thought.

Yrump’s failures

  1. Tariffs which industry experts say will hurt U.S. industry. Some:
    1. 30% on solar (the fastest-growing industry in America),
    2. 20% on steel, and
    3. 10% on aluminum.
  2. Loaded his cabinet with incompetents. Many of whom have a history of suing the department they now head.
  3. Repeatedly attacked the ACA. Actually 100% GOP in origin!
  4. Insulted and threatened our allies.
  5. Put Pence a heartbeat away from the presidency. A man who said: “I am a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican. In that order.” And who favors conversion therapy, and opposes equal rights for LGBT+ prople.
  6. Moved to open the entire U.S. coast to drilling. And signed an executive order basically overriding the Clean Water act and allowing mining waste to be dumped into waterways.
    1. FYI — this is Beyond his authority! He cannot overturn an act of Congress!
  7. Eliminated 2 national parks, because Obama created them.
  8. Pardoned several people without knowing anything about the cases: “I make the right decision with very little information. Other than what I already know, and you know, common sense.
  9. Ignored Russia’s mercenaries attacking U.S. troops
  10. Ignored Russian tankers violating the embargo on North Korea by transhipping fuel to NK tankers in international waters.
  11. USED the fact that Russia had military personnel at the Syrian airbase that the jets responsible for the gas attack on Syrian citizens came from to warn the airbase if his impending missile bombardment. Results:
    1. No damage to planes
    2. Minimal damage to the base
    3. Planes flying in and out the next day.
  12. Reallowed trophy importation “on a case by case basis.” With the deciding panel loaded with trophy hunters!
  13. Pardoning wholesale those who were involved in the assault on the Capitol on January 7th using an autopen for his signature1.

Revolting Yrump 

In no order:

  1. This story about Trump cutting off health coverage for his sick nephew out of revenge will make you hang your head in shame
  2. Rolling back key Obama policies just because the latter made fun of him at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner a few years ago.
  3. Everything he has done to the LGBTQ+ community.
  4. Mocking the disabled reporter.
  5. Being a misogynist. Look no further than the Hollywood Access tape and his comments directed at Christine Blasey Ford.
  6. Making a fool of himself overseas. He says the whole world is laughing at America but to narrow it down people are laughing at HIM.
  7. Giving people the right to be prejudiced. There has been an increase in misogyny, racism, xenophobia etc. since he took office.
  8. Seeing it as acceptable to body slam a reporter. This shows that he finds violence totally acceptable.
  9. Separating children from their parents at the US-Mexico border, imprisoning them in cages and not reuniting them.
  10. His behaviour following McCain voting against repealing Obamacare. Even when McCain was terminally ill with cancer Trump refused to let things go. He also said that he did not like the fact McCain got caught during the Vietnam War when Trump is the person who dodged military service citing bone spurs!
  11. Siding with the enemy on numerous ocassions e.g. Russia, Saudi Arabia, Israel, etc.
  12. Using Twitter in an attempt to demean people who he believes have done him wrong. The nicknames he uses are just childish and are really just describing himself e.g. Lying, Cheating, Crooked etc.
  13. Sleeping with a porn star shortly after Melania had given birth to their son.

There are more but these are the main ones I can think of. I try to see the good in people but I cannot see anything good about him.

When the founding fathers of the United States wrote the Constitution, they did a few things on purpose that we all know. For instance, they made it somewhat vague, realizing that they cannot predict how the amendments set forth would impact the future.

 

Some parts of the Constitution are far less vague. You see, the American Revolution was a Civil War. British Colonists in North America declared independence from the Crown and the British Monarchy. They wanted a system where there were clear rules, where citizens had clear protections, and where the government could not become tyrannical. They wanted a system where there was no monarchy. A system, put by Abraham Lincoln as a…

“Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.”

 

Donald Trump is dismantling this system. What separates a President from a Dictator? Is it just the title, or is it actions? A President rules in accordance with the laws, and a Dictator ignores the law and the rights of his people, according to his own will.

 

Fact 1: Donald Trump is threatening Law Firms and lawyers into compliance

Donald Trump has begun a coordinated and strategic assault on the nation’s most powerful law firms. Through various Executive Orders, he attacked law firms involved in the prosecution of Trump or his allies. This included election tampering, the January 6th Insurrection, classified documents, sexual assault lawsuits, fraud, and a long list of crimes he committed.

These Executive Orders prevented attorneys with these firms from going to any federal building, like a court, and also would allow the US Government to cancel contracts held by the clients of these firms. So most of the cracked who met with Trump agreed the drop any outstanding litigation and do billions of dollars of free work for Trump, not America- TRUMP.

These Law Firms often work with the Government and are the centers of legal power within the US. They have the brightest minds, the most capital, and the best connections. Using executive orders to attack Law Firms that did their job and forcing them to roll over is diabolical.

Now this will make lawyers afraid to represent clients that Trump is after. This will make it harder for you (if you’re American) to get legal help or find a lawyer. It is a bit more than a warning shot to lawyers not to stand in Trump’s way.

 

Fact 2: Donald Trump is threatening other Judges

The biggest thing that restrains a President is the legal system. Even with a friendly Congress and Supreme Court judges, Law Firms can file to sue, requesting restraining orders, or otherwise challenge the legal validity of the actions of the President, which Judges will rule on. With Law Firms running for the hills, Trump turned his attention to judges. He’s been doing this since he took office, stating a few months back…

“Hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth, much more than that, in just a short period of time. We want to weed out the corruption. It seems hard to believe that a judge could say, ‘We don’t want you to do that,’ so maybe we have to look at the judges.”

-Donald Trump Oval Office Interview, February 11th, 2025

 

That reads like Tony Soprano said that. This is far from the only thinly veiled threat or overt threat Trump has made against any and all judges who do not bend the knee.

 

Fact 3: Judges are now being arrested and fired as part of an ongoing “crackdown,” with ICE

To date, 2 Judges have been arrested by the Trump Administration. More correctly, Judges were rather unfairly jailed by ICE under the orders of Trump.

  1. Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan
  2. Don Ana Country Judge Joel Cano

Both were arrested by ICE as part of a larger crackdown. Arresting not 1 but 2 judges is bold and is a clear sign that Trump is more than happy to cause a Constitutional Crisis in his crusade to rid the US of all migrants- except his wife and Elon Musk.

In addition

  • A union for immigration court judges recently said that over 100 immigration judges have been fired or otherwise removed (resigned, etc.) since Trump returned to office. VisaVerge+2ABC7 Chicago+2

  • A recent example: 17 immigration court judges were fired across 10 states in a wave of dismissals. Business Standard+1

  • Because these are “immigration judges” — administrative-court judges under the Executive Office for Immigration Review — they are not the same as lifetime Article III federal judges (district court judges, appeals court judges, justices, etc.).

Fact 4: Donald Trump is ignoring Court rulings

As many of you know, people are being deported without a trial. Hundreds now resided in a super-prison for terrorists in El Salvador who broke no law and had no day in court. In a 9–0 Supreme Court ruling, it was determined that the Trump administration should facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and Trump just ignored it. This has become habitual and is concerning.

If you cannot intimidate the lawyers, then intimidate the Judges. If that fails, argue that the Judges have no power and ignore them. With unqualified Trump loyalists running the Department of Justice, the Department of Defense, the FBI, and DOGE- well, you see the issue.

 

Fact 5: Donald Trump intends to erase your basic legal rights and the entire legal system.

Donald Trump is coming after the bedrock of America- our legal system. Now, look, I will be the first to say it is flawed and corrupt and has issues, but it is the thing that protects you from the government. That is why the Constitution was written- that is why it has been upheld by such fervour for so long.

Law Enforcement cannot just come into your home and look around. A trial is just and fair, and an attorney must represent you. There are so many rights that you possess to protect you from tyranny. That was the ENTIRE IDEA behind the USA. Liberty, equality, and so on.

Now this part is opinion, but I believe Donald Trump learned a lot in his 1st term. I think he learned the value of loyalty (in his own estimation), and he learned how powerful the courts were in stopping him. So this time, he ensured that every position was occupied by a loyalist, and he has found ways to “cut out” the courts.

This isn’t a conspiracy. People have already been deported, and Trump told Bukele to “build 5 more” (prisons) for the “homegrowns”. Yes- now you can be picked up and sent to a terrorist prison run by another nation with no recourse. No lawyer, no coming home, and nothing. I mean, even if the Supreme Court declares you must be returned to the US, Trump just will ignore it.

These systems now exist forever to be used by Trump or some future President. The cracks in our system are now canyons.

Trump saying he wants to run for a 3rd term seriously isn’t really a big deal. I will be because if he did, he would lose and then start another insurrection, but regardless, that is years away. Attacks on the US economy, Elon Musk’s nonsense, Pete Hegseth (kill them all, even they are no threat), Q-Anon members RUNNING the FBI, siding with Russia over Ukraine, attacking trans people, deporting legal migrants who broke no crime, and it just goes on and on.

  1. Do you think the world views the US as safe and stable? Is it a good place to invest money or build factories? As a good ally or partner, while Trump destroys NATO?
  2. Is this ever forgiven? The humiliation of Zelenskyy, the conflict in Gaza, the treatment of people, and the desire to completely destroy the due process of law….
  3. Is anyone living a better life due to Trump? Seriously. Did wages go up? Did healthcare costs go down? Have prices improved notably? Has there been ANYTHING other than ripping up our basic rights and siding with warmongering dictators?

The reality is that if nothing else, Trump has exposed how weak the legal system is and is exploiting it. Trump is violating the rights that protect you from tyranny. How court rulings can be ignored, and how Presidents can choose to make and break the law as if they were Kings. That is the worst thing Trump has done for the US.

 

 What is the worst thing Trump has done so far as president?

By far the worst thing Donald Trump has done is to imperil our democracy by his continued ridiculous attempts to keep himself in power by casting untrue suspicions on the electoral process. In doing so he imperils the continuation of our democracy and flirts with sedition. Republicans follow along because Trump is a source of funds and votes to continue their sinecure in Congress.

There are several things you need to look at to understand Trump and people’s antipathy to him. It is not largely based on present politics but on Trump’s record in business and, to a lesser extent, his amoral personal life.

He is an actor playing a part and his script is the election speeches in his campaign. The rallies are the only place he feels comfortable enough to riff on his script, (universal adoration will do that to people)

His schedule is a tv actor’s schedule, short “takes” and then a recuperative time while the next shot is set. Only a limited attention span is needed and only a page or so needs to be read.

His tweets are his way of arguing his points without being face to face with one person or a group which will increase his insecurity because they are not on script. Extemporizing requires an actor to be reactive and flexible and he is neither. Hence the keeping of staff he has expressed dislike for. If you’re not in total adoration, he avoids you.

He is a fabulist “ 1. a person who composes or relates fables. 2. a liar, especially a person who invents elaborate, dishonest stories.

In his business life, lying was par for the course. Often he would tell one party what they wanted to hear and another what they wanted to hear, amalgamate the lies together to make a third lie and when called on it to point at anything else to avoid being cornered which also many times involved a lie. He still does that. Look at most confidence schemes and you’ll see the same pattern. In business, only a few people or a few thousand people heard the lies. Now it’s millions around the world. In international relations blatant lying makes you someone, and the country you represent, unreliable

So the next thing you need to understand about Trump is that he is, at his core, a con man with no empathy. Therefore, he assumes that all other people are also con men with no empathy, and every exchange of goods and services that exists in the world is, on some level, a con. Trump assumes every transaction in the world — between people, businesses, nation-states, even between two different agencies of the same government — has a winner and a loser, a scammer and a sucker. He believes if you’re not ripping someone off, you’re getting ripped off.From an economic perspective, this is complete nonsense. Unless there are major information asymmetries or distortions of market power, and often even then, most transactions are generally to the mutual benefit of both parties. Otherwise no deals would ever get made.

But Trump — the man who created a fake university, made promises and then stiffed contractors, some of whom went bankrupt, hired the mob, and filed for bankruptcy six times — cannot believe this. So he goes out of his way to cherrypick how he sees the world, so that everything does looks like a ripoff, a negotiation based on the disrespect a con man has for his “mark”. Depends what you call negotiating. In some cases, you have no choice and may agree to the negotiation out of weakness or the need to keep cash flow going, if you can. Several people I know have had contracts with Trump. When they presented the bill, he refused to pay, stating the work was not up to his standards. To him, that seems to be a typical negotiation. and several other people I do not know well have told me similar stories about personal experiences they had with him including adding a “Trump clause”, bidding more than full price so they basically got most of the money up front.

This worked mainly because with Trump’s reputation he had meant less choice in tradesmen because of others previous dealings.

I have heard the story of a banker in New York who dealt with Trump just before he went bankrupt. His argument when the bank said they were going to sue was that they stood to lose more by cutting him loose than by hanging in there with him. They decided to wait. Then he declared bankruptcy.

He is non traditional but not in a good way. He thinks nothing of screwing anyone he can. If by negotiating, you mean does he get what he wants and the other guy gets the Bronx cheer, the answer is yes. If by negotiating, you mean does everyone walk away feeling there was a fair compromise, the answer is no. There is such a thing as ethical business practices. When an ethical person negotiates, success usually results in everyone feeling alright about the arrangement.

An unethical person knows negotiating techniques as well as their ethical counterpart. These basic concepts are common to many instructional works that teach negotiating. Here’s the real core of Trump’s “art’ of the deal.

  1. keep as much information to yourself until the opponent exposes their vulnerabilities.
  2. small print is king. Obscure as much information as possible. Let your opponent commit and do what they committed to do, then offer less for a quick payout, using overlooked details to strengthen your position.
  3. when a dispute arises, be immediately prepared to sue or countersue based on the small print or implied agreement. Rather than spend the money in court, if you wait them out, most will settle for less.
  4. discover the needs and fears of your prospect. Balloon the fears and share how you will eliminate the reason for their fears while meeting and exceeding their needs whether it is the true course or not.

All of these can be useful tools. But when not entered into in good faith, the positive results are often short-lived and bad things happen to good people.

Trump’s modus operandi in the White House shows no understanding of leadership but a continuation of his business persona. So he has a new con, executive orders. Despite what he says about his predecessors use of executive orders, he has signed more executive orders than any President since Johnson. Here’s the con, hold a big ceremony, sign the order, make a great show of doing it with his base and then leave it to go fallow. How long has it been since anybody, except maybe his hand picked rally crowds heard anything about infrastructure? The trillion dollar program? In two years how many of those projects have begun? Have requests been made to city and state governments for needs? My grandkids take the school bus with 40 kids on it over two bridges that were built by the WPA 5 days a week. One of them is now a single lane because it’s too far gone to carry the weight of two vehicles at a time. The county has no money to replace the bridge, the state has enough money for some repairs but the appropriation for a new bridge is years away in the “pipeline”.

The big meeting in Singapore? Nothing happened beyond a couple of chat sessions and a big signing ceremony. You can argue Trump’s unorthodox style but I disagree that it’s producing positive results. Verbally beating up on partners who have proved themselves over and over again while kissing up to the leader of country that represents the remains of the ideology many went to Vietnam to fight.

What are 10 of the worst things Trump has done in his first less than a year of presidency?
  1. Extra-judicial killings
  2. Bringing utter chaos to Washington, to the nation and beyond
  3. Changing the image of a great nation to the laughing stock of the world
  4. Proving that the U.S. Government is truly an Equal Opportunity Employer. Even a mentally deranged person can be given a chance to become president, regardless of the consequences to The People. If you apply for a janitorial job, they will ask you for certain qualifications. Try to get a job as a receptionist, forklift driver, trash collector, nurse etc…and you will be asked for certain qualifications…but not to become the President of the United States….you just lie, manipulate, spew garbage, vomit misinformation, attack anybody and everybody, play dirty, maneuver, receive THREE MILLION FEWER VOTES than the other candidate and still are elected AGAINST THE WILL OF THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE…and We The People must accept you…because our system is incomprehensibly faulty in that respect.
  5. Facts don’t matter, especially if you have a failed Party behind you full of earthworms who don’t have the courage or the necessary patriotism to speak on behalf of the interests of the American people.
  6. Departures, firings, resignations are a daily routine in trump’s world. Turmoil reigns supreme!!!! A reflexion of a deranged mind.

 

7. Being shoved down the throat of the American People and keeping the nation hostage to an ignoramus that does not represent the educated population of the Country.

8. Addressing the issues with a personal opinion drawn out of thin air, without even the least amount of knowledge of the subject at hand…just a personal myopic view, akin to asking Mr. Magoo to land a Boeing 777 on a postage stamp.

9. Shutting down the Government, causing grief and harm to the very people he was elected to protect. The majority (and the trend) had been an influx of immigrants from China and India via airports.

Magoo Trump does not read…and if he reads, can’t understand what he reads.

More than 1 million immigrants used to arrive in the U.S. each year. In 2016, the top country of origin for new immigrants coming into the U.S. was India, with 126,000 people, followed by Mexico (124,000), China (121,000) and Cuba (41,000).

By race and ethnicity, more Asian immigrants than Hispanic immigrants have arrived in the U.S. each year since 2010. Immigration from Latin America slowed following the Great Recession, particularly from Mexico, which has seen net decreases in U.S. immigration over the past few years.

Asians are projected to become the largest immigrant group in the U.S. by 2055, surpassing Hispanics. Pew Research Center estimates indicate that in 2065, Asians will make up some 38% of all immigrants; Hispanics, 31%; whites, 20%; and blacks, 9%.

If we are to address the immigration issue, we need to base it on reality, not imagination, and we need to spend taxpayers money on comprehensive reform. A good start would be to enforce existing laws. If one is not a U.S. Citizen, then he/she can not work in the U.S., and is not entitled to benefits. Illegal immigration is our fault, not anybody else’s. We Americans do not follow the law.

Illegal drugs is an American problem, not a Mexican or Venezuela  problem. We are a nation with a far too large number of druggies and potheads. WE HAVE A PROBLEM, and this president is attributing the blame to the WRONG party. America is sick…Mexicans and other foreigners only provide what Americans want. If it’s not Mexicans, then Americans will find their drugs wherever it is – they will build rockets and go to the moon if necessary…but they will not go without drugs. The problem is within our borders!!!! This president should focus on reality and stop blaming others. If we do not buy, nobody can sell illegal drugs. We must take responsibility for our actions.

10. Making America cry every day!

 

  1. Increasing the Federal debt by $3.1 trillion
  2. 1,220,000 Americans dead from the COVID-19 epidemic (which was out of control in the United States but not in countries with effective governments, such as Germany or New Zealand).
  3. 32.6 % contraction in Gross Domestic Product – GDP (roughly the same as national income): by far the biggest drop ever recorded (the Great Depression of 1929–1932, following the 1929 stock market crash, reduced GDP by 15%).
  4. Destroying over 30 million jobs, raising the proportion of American workers on unemployment benefits to 20%.
  5. Destroying, damaging or disrupting key alliances the U.S. has relied on for national security / defense for over 70 years, including those with the UK, Canada, Japan, and Germany; and multilateral defense collaboration through NATO.
  6. Removing all effective constraints that formerly restricted Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
  7. Destroying or greatly weakening most of the legal rules restraining corporations from polluting the air, land, water and food in the United States.
  8. Trashing the United States Postal Service (e.g. removing and trashing over 700 postal sorting machines) to sabotage the 2020 election.
  9. Tearing up arms-control treaties such the Open Skies Treaty that used to help reduce the very real risk of accidental nuclear war, and slow down the arms race.
  10. Inciting violent far-right terrorism by praising such terrorists: for example, saying that the neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, VA who brutally murdered Heather Heyer were “very fine people”.

Rtump is going to “pardon” the largest drug dealer in the world! Juan Orlando Hernández, undoing all the work of the Justice Dept.

  • Pardoning someone convicted of massive drug trafficking undermines the credibility of U.S. anti-drug policy. Critics argue it sends the wrong signal to traffickers and corrupt officials — potentially suggesting that crimes can be absolved for political ends. Newsweek+2Los Angeles Times+2

  • It raises concerns about foreign interference: the move looks like direct U.S. involvement in Honduras’s domestic politics, especially given the timing around the election. The Washington Post+2The Economic Times+2

  • For many Hondurans, the pardon reopens fresh wounds — corruption, drug violence, and impunity — undermining public trust in justice and the rule of law. AP News+2Financial Times+2

What this might mean — short and long term

  • Short-term: The pardon may energize conservative voters or loyalists of Hernández’s party, potentially giving a boost to Asfura’s campaign. It also sharpens political polarization ahead of the Honduran election.

  • Long-term U.S. credibility: The move could damage U.S. standing on anti-narcotics efforts, especially if future critics argue the U.S. pardoned a major convicted trafficker.

  • Implications for Honduran politics: If Asfura — or another conservative linked to Hernández — wins, Honduras might pivot back to more conservative policies or reestablish old networks, raising worries about corruption, governance, and rule of law.

Juan Orlando Hernández, Former President of Honduras, Sentenced to 45 Years in Prison for Conspiring to Distribute More Than 400 Tons of Cocaine and Related Firearms Offenses

 
 
Hernández Conspired with Some of the Largest Drug Traffickers in the World to Transport Tons of Cocaine through Honduras to the United States

The former president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, 55, also known as JOH, was sentenced today to 540 months in prison and 60 months of supervised release for cocaine importation and related weapons offenses. The former two-term president was in office until weeks before his extradition to the United States in April 2022. Hernández was convicted on March 8 following a three-week jury trial.

“As President of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández abused his power to support one of the largest and most violent drug trafficking conspiracies in the world, and the people of Honduras and the United States bore the consequences,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “Thanks to the diligent work of the Justice Department’s agents and prosecutors, Hernández will now spend more than four decades in prison. The Justice Department will hold accountable all those who engage in violent drug trafficking, regardless of how powerful they are or what position they hold.”

“The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is relentlessly focused on dismantling drug trafficking organizations that threaten the safety and health of the American people,” said DEA Administrator Anne Milgram. “Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández financed his political career with drug trafficking profits and abused his authority as President of Honduras to traffic hundreds of tons of cocaine to the United States. Let me be clear, political actors who use their power to traffic in drugs and corruption will be brought to justice in the United States.”

“As the former two-term president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández had every opportunity to affect positive change for his country,” said U.S. Attorney Damian Williams for the Southern District of New York. “Instead, Hernández helped to facilitate the importation of an almost unfathomable 400 tons of cocaine to this country: billions of individual doses sent to the United States with the protection and support of the former president of Honduras. Now, after years of destructive narco-trafficking of the highest imaginable magnitude, Hernández will spend 45 years where he belongs: in federal prison.”

According to court documents, from at least in or about 2004, up to and including in or about 2022, Hernández, the former two-term president of Honduras and former president of the Honduran National Congress, was at the center of one of the largest and most violent drug-trafficking conspiracies in the world. During his political career, Hernández abused his powerful positions and authority in Honduras to facilitate the importation of over 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S. Hernández’s co-conspirators were armed with machine guns and destructive devices, including AK-47s, AR-15s, and grenade launchers, which they used to protect their massive cocaine loads as they transited across Honduras on their way to the United States, protect the money they made from the eventual sale of this cocaine, and guard their drug-trafficking territory from rivals. Hernández received millions of dollars of drug money from some of the largest and most violent drug-trafficking organizations in Honduras, Mexico, and elsewhere, and used those bribes to fuel his rise in Honduran politics. In turn, as Hernández rose to power in Honduras, he provided increased support and protection for his co-conspirators, allowing them to move mountains of cocaine, commit acts of violence and murder, and help turn Honduras into one of the most dangerous countries in the world.

During his time in office, Hernández publicly promoted legislation and the efforts he purported to undertake in support of anti-narcotics measures in Honduras. At the same time, he protected and enriched the drug traffickers in his inner circle and those who provided him with cocaine-fueled bribes that allowed him to obtain and stay in power in Honduras. For example, Hernández selectively upheld extraditions by supporting and taking credit for extraditions to the United States of certain drug traffickers who threatened his grip on power, while at the same time promising drug traffickers who bribed him and followed his instructions that they would remain safe in Honduras. In addition, Hernández and his co-conspirators abused Honduran institutions, including the Honduran National Police and Honduran military, to protect and grow their conspiracy. Among other things, members of the conspiracy used heavily armed Honduran National Police officers to protect their cocaine loads as they transited through Honduras towards the United States for eventual distribution. Members of the conspiracy also turned to violence and murder to protect and grow their drug trafficking enterprise, attacking and murdering rival traffickers and those who threatened their grip on the Honduran cocaine trade.

Several of Hernández’s co-conspirators have already been convicted and sentenced in connection with this investigation. Among others, Hernández’s brother, Juan Antonio Hernández Alvarado, also known as Tony Hernández, was convicted after trial in October 2019 and sentenced to life in prison, and Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez, a violent cocaine trafficker who met with Hernández on multiple occasions to discuss their drug trafficking partnership, was convicted after trial in March 2021 and sentenced to life in prison. Juan Carlos Bonilla Valladares, also known as El Tigre, the former chief of the Honduran National Police, pleaded guilty to his participation in the cocaine importation conspiracy and is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 1, and Mauricio Hernández Pineda, a former member of the Honduran National Police and Hernández’s cousin, pleaded guilty to his participation in the cocaine importation conspiracy and is scheduled to be sentenced on July 2.

In total, Hernández and his co-conspirators trafficked more than 400 tons of U.S.-bound cocaine through Honduras during Hernández’s tenure in the Honduran government. This amounts to well over approximately 4.5 billion individual doses of cocaine.

The DEA investigated the case.

The Justice Department’s Office of International Affairs provided valuable assistance in securing Hernández’s arrest and extradition.

House panel joins Senate in launching bipartisan inquiry of Pentagon over Hegseth’s order to kill boat strike survivorsThe Senate and House armed services committees’ pledge followed a Washington Post report revealing that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered that a U.S. strike leave no survivors.

I can make up a “peace  deal” for Russia and the Ukraine, better than Yrump can. It would NOT be: “Ukraine, give up”, It does not mean anything. Putin will not stop unless by force, which Yrump does not understand. Putin sees Yrump as weak, and will string him along, offering huge profits from Russian projects.
Jist like Israel and Hamas, trump did not fix anything, they are still at it.

Yrump is way off base

Massive fraud by Somali immigrants [WRONG, it was perpetuated by an American – Aimee Bock with some help] in Minnesota hands GOP political hammer against liberal programs

Officials say [guess?] some money siphoned away by Somali immigrants made its way to Kenya and Somalia to the Al-Qaeda linked terrorist group Al Shabab.

Yrump luves his conspiracy theories! He is on a roll against those brown people!

I just wanted to warn everyone:that Trump is spiraling out of control. He often accuses others of cheating like he does, reflecting his own belief that dishonesty is widespread. He behaves as though he is above accountability, targeting political opponents—including former presidents, military figures, and astronauts—with hostility and threats of killing them.

His lies are astounding, he tries to tell lies over and over again, thinking that people will believe him, his lies about the prices going down, his tariffs are making us great, and many more are filthy ragged lies.

His claims that the US is respected is just a lie. He is a bully and people know it and ply him with gold to make him stop punishing them. He calls anyone evil if they try to stop him.

His rhetoric shows a preference for white groups over others, echoing the prejudices he grew up around. Surrounded by loyalists willing to carry out his wishes, he is pushing the country into a dangerous downward trajectory killing innocent people.

Venezuela, a vulnerable nation he has repeatedly criticized, now seems like a convenient target for his aggressive posturing. Russia has taken notice and is preparing to fight back.

If no one steps up to counter this trajectory, the future of our own country feels increasingly uncertain.

A large military presence has accumulated in the region, with spy aircraft, F-35 fighter jets, warships and other assets amid the growing tensions. The USS Gerald R. Ford, the largest aircraft carrier in the world, arrived in Latin American waters earlier this month. Trump has also authorized the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to conduct covert operations inside the South American nation.

In a potential attack, the administration has identified military-controlled airports and ports as possible targets, The Wall Street Journal reported in October.

What we are witnessing right now is an unprecedented assault on our most fundamental American values. Donald Trump and his Rubber Stamp Republicans in the House are attacking our freedom of speech, ripping away our healthcare, suppressing our votes, marching us toward a government shutdown and war, and gerrymandering congressional districts to rig the midterm elections.

Donald’s declaration of WAR

On Thursday, Trump told military personnel that the U.S. will take action on land in Venezuela “very soon”.

Russia is sending troops and militry supplies.

Murderer

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all

As two men clung to a stricken, burning ship targeted by SEAL Team 6, the Joint Special Operations commander followed the defense secretary’s order to leave no survivors.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a spoken directive, according to two people with direct knowledge of the operation. “The order was to kill everybody,” one of them said.

A missile screamed off the Trinidad coast, striking the vessel and igniting a blaze from bow to stern. For minutes, commanders watched the boat burning on a live drone feed. As the smoke cleared, they got a jolt: Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck.

The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack — the opening salvo in the Trump administration’s war on suspected drug traffickers in the Western Hemisphere — ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, two people familiar with the matter said. The two men were blown apart in the water.
Hegseth’s order, which has not been previously reported, adds another dimension to the campaign against suspected drug traffickers.
 Some current and former U.S. officials and law-of-war experts have said that the Pentagon’s lethal campaign — which has killed more than 80 people to date — is unlawful and may expose those most directly involved to future prosecution.

The alleged traffickers pose no imminent threat of attack against the United States and are not, as the Trump administration has tried to argue, in an “armed conflict” with the U.S., these officials and experts say. Because there is no legitimate war between the two sides, killing any of the men in the boats “amounts to murder,” said Todd Huntley, a former military lawyer who advised Special Operations forces for seven years at the height of the U.S. counterterrorism campaign.

Even if the U.S. were at war with the traffickers, an order to kill all the boat’s occupants if they were no longer able to fight “would in essence be an order to show no quarter, which would be a war crime,” said Huntley, now director of the national security law program at Georgetown Law.

This report is based on interviews with and accounts from seven people with knowledge of the Sept. 2 strike and the overall operation.

The elite counterterror group SEAL Team 6 led the attack, according to four people with direct knowledge of the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the ongoing sensitive operations.

Wafer and AI changes

Already, entire buildings filled with computers are on the verge of being replaced by a single “wafer” disc that will carry the computing power of billions of today’s red-hot chips. The Wall Street Journal broke the news just three weeks ago with an article titled and subtitled:

“The Microchip Era Is About to End. The future is in wafers. Data centers will be the size of a box, not vast energy-hogging structures.”

Author George Gilder noted we’re not just on the verge of the breakthrough; it’s nearly in production:

“Cerebras of Palo Alto, Calif., used the concept in its WSE-3 wafer-scale engine. The WSE-3 boasts some four trillion transistors — 14 times as many as Nvidia’s Blackwell chip — with 7,000 times the memory bandwidth. Cerebras inscribed the memory directly on to the wafer rather than relegating it to distant chips and chiplets in high-bandwidth memory mazes. The company stacked up its wafer-scale engines 16-fold, thereby reducing a data center to a small box with 64 trillion transistors.”

A data center — a 700,000 square-foot building drawing gigiwatts of electricity and chugging millions of gallons of water for cooling — replaced by “a small box” that could be powered by rooftop solar and a good battery bank.

Ya think that may have an impact on our economy?

Places booming today as AI and other data facilities and the power plants and transmission lines to feed them are being built — if Moore’s Law applies to data centers as it has proven to apply to all things digital from computers to cell phones to TVs and satellites — will soon look like Flint, Michigan when Reagan’s free trade policies began to seriously bite in the 1990s.

If there’s a lesson from history, it’s that bubbles only appear harmless until they burst. And the bursting always lands hardest on those who never benefited from the boom in the first place

Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, the 20-year-old National Guard member who was fatally shot while on patrol in Washington D.C. this week, had mixed feelings about her deployment to the nation’s capital, according to her former boyfriend.

Beckstrom and 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe were shot while on patrol on Thanksgiving Eve; Beckstrom died as a result, while Wolfe is still in critical condition. Both were members of the West Virginia National Guard.

Department of Justice, X / West Virginia National Guard

CNN interviewed Adam Carr, who dated Beckstrom for six years before breaking up last month, and asked how she felt about her deployment to D.C., a controversial move made by President Donald Trump in August.

“Did she believe in the mission of being there? Did she think it was important, or did she think they didn’t belong there, the West Virginia National Guard?” CNN correspondent Gabe Cohen asked Carr.

“It was mixed,” he explained. “She got deputized in there, and they gave them no rights to do anything.”

He continued, “She was like, ‘People spit towards us, cuss at us, throw things at us and we can’t do nothing.’ She couldn’t detain nobody. She couldn’t stop them from doing wrong. It was—they told them to call the cops.”

“She wanted to make the difference. She wanted to extremely. She was happy with it. And she just was also like, ‘Why am I here if I can’t do nothing?’ Where they limited them so much. She’s like, ‘It’s pointless.’ She’s like, ‘I get why we’re here. Crime is bad, but it’s pointless if we can’t do anything.’”

A president to be proud of. ^

Yrump thinks that offering a horrendus 50 yr mortgage makes him a “great” president. That shows how out of touch he is. No one in his right mind would take a mortgage that would out live them! Paying twice as much as a 20 year mortgage!! Only a stupid person such as Yrump would fall for that.

Yrump on a manic phase again, his idiotic post (remember Yrump uses the auto pen as well)

Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect. The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States. The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him. I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally. Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The Turkey

English speakers called the bird a “turkey,” in other languages the geolinguistic confusion multiplied. The French dubbed it coq d’Inde — “rooster of India” — thinking it came from the Indies. In Portuguese it became a peru, in Malay a “Dutch chicken,” and in Turkish, tellingly, a hindi, meaning “from India.” Everyone, it seems, thought the bird came from somewhere else. But when your Thanksgiving feast is served up, the people you actually want to thank aren’t the Turks; they’re the Aztecs.

Yrimp’s Happy Thanksgiving tweet (full of LIES):
[Why do we let such a disgusting person to continue to be President?]
Triggered by a person HE granted asylum to, he makes stuff up as he goes along!

“A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being “Politically Correct,” and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration. The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it’s eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc…Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many. I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country, end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization. These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorized and illegal Autopen approval process. Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!”

 

The word of the US is no longer tny good, Yrump has disgraced it.

In one of his first acts on entering office, Trump froze the number of visas available for Afghans, many of whom were far along in the SIV approval process or had already been approved.

VanDiver suggested that Lakanwal eventually submitted a separate asylum application due to the extended wait time and unclear future for SIVs.

“He passed vetting a million times,” VanDiver said. “If he had been a problem, he would have gotten caught when he went to another base … when he applied for SIV, for Chief of Mission approval, when he got asylum.”

The immigration policy changes imposed Wednesday, meanwhile, extend a June rule imposing restrictions and additional scrutiny on foreign nationals seeking entry into the U.S. from 19 countries. Now, the policy is targeting foreign nationals living in the United States. For those not granted asylum or SIV, temporary humanitarian parole status given to most of the Afghans who were admitted to the U.S. has already expired, with the administration not offering any extension.

 
 

Many Afghans waiting for resettlement to the U.S. in other countries that agreed to accept them after they were evacuated, and their allies, responded with shock Thursday to the news that USCIS would stop processing their cases.

Andrew Sullivan, the executive director of No One Left Behind, a veteran-led group supporting Afghan evacuees, told The Washington Post on Thursday that he hopes the administration can find a way to balance the need for rigorous vetting with the imperative to protect Afghans who helped save American lives.

“I have, without a doubt, had my life saved by Afghans that worked on our behalf,” said Sullivan, who served two combat deployments in Iraq and commanded an infantry company in Afghanistan. “I hope that we can work constructively with the administration to ensure that there are no risks for Afghans that have arrived. But, my personal experience has been they’re some of the most dutiful and patriotic people on this planet.”

 

Trump figures money talks, no conscience

The conduct of a White House special envoy, working so comfortably with an adversary and seemingly encouraged to do so, has exposed a cataclysmic weakening of American power. Witkoff hasn’t been sacked and is likely to return to Moscow next week, so he must have Trump’s full support, making it apparent that gone is Ronald Reagan’s “shining city on a hill”; US values are no longer disciplined by what JFK described as a hard and bitter peace.

This week, American power has plainly declared itself tradeable. It has become a conscience with a price tag – and Beijing will have taken note.

Despite words to the contrary, Putin is consistently ramping up the attacks, having received minimal criticism from the White House. Russia’s increased industrial output has also allowed for such a strategy.

The tempo of these attacks has been unaffected by diplomatic efforts to end the war, despite Moscow’s repeated claims to be seeking peace. The Alaska Summit in August, for example, was closely followed by some of Russia’s biggest assaults of the war. Just this Tuesday, amid the flurry of diplomatic chat over the so-called “Dim-Wit” peace plan (named after Kirill Dmitriev and Steve Witkoff, the chief architects of the 28-point text), Russia launched the fourth biggest drone attack of the war.

 

Trump Rages as DOJ Moves to Close Schiff Probe

The Department of Justice has maintained an open but dormant probe into Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) for purported mortgage fraud, initiated by a referral from Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte. U.S. Attorney for Maryland Kelly Hayes formally notified Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche that no prosecutable evidence exists, recommending closure, while President Donald Trump renewed public demands for Schiff’s indictment alongside those of James Comey and Letitia James. Investigators concluded the inquiry lacks substantiation, rendering further action unwarranted.

 

Trump said, “I would just say Adam Schiff is one of the lowest forms of scum I’ve ever dealt with in politics. He is a horrible human being. Very dishonest person.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi stated, “We are not going to comment on any grand jury that’s open. We can’t legally.”

Schiff’s counsel, former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, characterized the allegations as devoid of merit and driven by partisan animus. The DOJ has neither advanced charges nor shuttered the file officially.

Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said, “It seems pretty clear that a team of career prosecutors have thoroughly reviewed the politically-motivated allegations against Senator Schiff and found they are unsupported by any evidence and are baseless.”

Bharara added, “The transparently vindictive effort to pursue the Senator has no merit, and if there is any justice left in the Justice Department, this should be the end of the matter.”

During a press conference on Thursday, Trump called a female reporter “stupid” when she said his Department of Justice this year reported there had been “thorough vetting” by the DHS and FBI of Afghans who had entered the U.S.

When directly asked if the suspect was granted asylum under his watch, Trump dodged the question, saying, “When it comes to asylum, when they’re flown in, it’s very hard to get them out, no matter how you want to do it’s very hard to get them out, but we’re going to be getting them all out.”

“I have directed a full-scale, rigorous reexamination of every Green Card for every alien from every country of concern,” Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Joseph Edlow said Thursday afternoon in a statement on X.

Trump  Derails Troop Call With Bonkers Rant About His Golf Record

The president spent Thanksgiving bragging about being better at golf than Joe Biden.

President Donald Trump veered off the fairway into the rough after being asked during a Thanksgiving call with troops just how good he is at golf.

In a livestreamed call Thursday with troops from bases around the world, Trump was asked his true golf handicap and if he and former President Joe Biden are ever going to play a round.

Trump claimed he had invited Biden, but he never showed up, but dodged the question about his own golf handicap except to suggest it was far better than his predecessor’s. In an extended brag, he also insisted that his dozens of tournament wins were all “legitimate.”

 

Trump has gone golfing on nearly 25 percent of the days he’s been back in office, according to a website that tracks his time on the green.

He golfed through it over the summer while his administration was taking heat from his own supporters for failing to release the Jeffrey Epstein files and again this fall during the record-long government shutdown.

Asked about his handicap during the Thanksgiving call—after bluntly breaking the news that a National Guard member shot near the White House had died—Trump rambled off into a defense of his golfing record.

< Trump has golfed on most weekends of his second term, reportedly costing taxpayers millions of dollars.

“I know a lot about golf. I’ve won 38 club championships, and I don’t get to practice much. I won one last year,” he said. “I won a club championship at a big club, beating a 27-year-old kid. I said, ‘You know, I’m decades older than you.’ But I said, ‘The fairway doesn’t know how old you are as you walk up the middle and he’s in the rough.’ And, uh, I’ve been a good golfer over the years.”

He didn’t say what his handicap is, describing it only as “very low.”

The president cheats at his favorite pastime by kicking balls from the rough into the fairway, instructing his caddies to throw opponents’ balls into bunkers, and awarding himself numerous “gimme putts,” according to The Times of London.

He also regularly claims to “win” tournaments at his own clubs, including competitions where he has skipped rounds or where nobody has seen him play, The Palm Beach Post reported.

During his Thanksgiving call, Trump insisted that all of his tournament wins had been “legitimate” and then launched into a rant about Biden.

President Trump said it made him angry when former President Joe Biden said during the 2024 debate that his golf handicap was a six.

“A lot of people talk, but they can’t play, like Biden. Biden can’t hit a ball 30 yards. I’m telling you, I looked at his swing. He cannot hit a ball 30 yards. He said he was a 6-handicapped. He said—that was the only thing that made me angry during the debate with him—he said he was a 6. I said, ‘You’re not a 6.’ And he said, ‘Well, I’m an 8.’ I said, ‘That was quick. I picked up 2.’ But he’s not 100.”

During the 2024 debate, Trump and Biden sparred over the former president’s golf handicap, which Biden said was previously an 8 but that he’d gotten down to a 6 while he was serving as vice president under Barack Obama.

Golf pros who analyzed footage of Trump’s swing told the Daily Beast in August that Trump’s game was above average and impressive for a man in his late seventies, but that it wasn’t champion-level play.

Shooting

Trump makes a speech about the shooting of the National guardsmen. A terrible thing, but I’m surprised it hasn’t happened sooner. If Trump were not deploying these soldiers where he has no business or authority to deploy them it would never have happened. Sure it was an Afghan this time, but how long before pissed off Americans do the same.

I’m surprised they haven’t shot any ICE personnel yet. This is what Trump wants. He wants to make people so angry that they will start attacking , and then Trump can say that there is an insurrection and declare martial law. Anybody can run around with guns in USA. Shootings are so prevalent they are almost the norm. Trump has created this huge hornets nest and if someone gets stung, I put the blame squarely on Trumps shoulders.

Just listen to this speech…..the Trumproach is almost gloating….he is revelling in this. He blames Biden for letting in unvetted people from Afghanistan…..all lies. …and worse, it wasn’t Biden who let this shooter in…it was Trump himself who granted this man asylum…..this year, in fact. IT WAS TRUMP…..NOT BIDEN!!!! How will MAGA justify this ????

Yes, there are the lies……almost all of it is lies, but the Fox viewers who listen to this bullshit will believe every word. How much revenge rampaging will we see from Trump supporters.

This is well worth a watch. Harry is really wound up about this!

No Vaccines in Florida? Only Death?

Nearly two months after calling for the elimination of vaccine mandates from Florida statutes, the DeSantis administration announced it will hold a three-hour public meeting in Northwest Florida for the public to weigh in. The Department of Health has scheduled the meeting in Panama City Beach on Dec. 12 to discuss changes to the existing rule regarding vaccine requirements for public and private schools, from preschool through grade 12 as well as adult education classes. While the DOH announced a meeting date and time it did not release a draft of any of its proposed changes. Health care attorney and lobbyist Christopher Nuland predicted the meeting will be well attended. “Despite the state putting the notice for a workshop in the most remote corner of the state, there will be several doctors who will be attending that workshop to argue for the existing rule,” said Nuland, a Jacksonville lobbyist whose clients include the Florida Chapter of the American College of Physicians Services; the Florida Chapter, American College of Surgeons; and the Florida Neurosurgical Society, among others. Students who attend public and private schools are required by Florida law to be vaccinated for poliomyelitis, diphtheria, rubeola, rubella, pertussis, mumps, and tetanus. The statute allows the DOH through rule to require additional vaccinations, which it does. DOH’s rule allows exemptions for valid medical reasons but also for religious and certain belief systems. Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced in September their desire to eliminate all vaccine mandates from Florida statutes, although their focus, for now, appears to be school-aged children. Ladapo, a long time vaccine skeptic, likened vaccine requirements to slavery and told those attending the press conference that the government lacks authority to require vaccinations. “It’s wrong, it’s immoral,” he said at the time. “They do not have the right to tell you what you put in your body. They don’t have the right to tell you what your kids have to put in [their] body. They do not have the right. Do not give it to them. Take it away from them. And we’re going to be starting that here in Florida.” The announcement made national headlines and was immediately blasted by top Democrats. Even some Republicans have distanced themselves from the idea. The 2026 regular session begins Tuesday, Jan. 13. To date, the DeSantis administration hasn’t floated its legislative proposal to eliminate all vaccines from statutes. Meanwhile, Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith is pushing a proposal (SB 626) to amend statutes to include hepatitis B, chickenpox, haemophilus influenzae type b, and pneumococcal disease in the list of required vaccines in statutes. The meeting site the Hyatt Place Panama City Beach, The Dunes Conference Room, 15727 Front Beach Road, Panama City Beach.

Taylor Taranto was pardoned by President Trump for his role in the January 6th Capitol riot and was sentenced to time served for unrelated charges related to making a threat at the former President Obama’s residence, which Trump had DOXED.

The tragic case of a very incompetent Trump official

 

In the service of President Donald Trump, Lindsay Halligan, Trump’s second interim appointment as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, may lose her license to practice law.

Who is Halligan?

Competence is a key requirement for obtaining and retaining a law license. But nothing in Halligan’s education, experience, or training qualified her to prosecute federal crimes, much less lead a US Attorney’s office of more than 300 attorneys and staff in four divisions in Alexandria, Richmond, Norfolk, and Newport News. For starters, she has never tried a criminal case. But Trump always prefers loyalty over competence.

Halligan attended a private Catholic high school and a Jesuit university where she studied politics and broadcast journalism. She competed in the Miss Colorado USA pageant in 2009 and 2010 and received her law degree from the University of Miami School of Law. Upon graduation, she went to work in a Miami law firm, representing insurance companies against homeowners and businesses.

Even if Halligan manages to keep her law license, she will never recover her professional reputation. It’s the Trump effect.

Yrump would be happy to emulate Nazis

Oradour-sur-Glane

This was a small town in France  who dispised  the Nazis where all the residents were rounded up by the Nazis. They shot some of the children first, in front of their parents. Then they shot the men in their legs so that they couldn’t stand and left them to die on the floor. After that, they locked the women and remaining children in the church and set it on fire. They then set the whole town on fire.

It has been preserved exactly as they left it, so that we never forget what happens if we allow fascist cowards to take over.

 

The people are buried in the cemetery but their burnt-out houses and cars remain exactly where they left them, so that the whole world can see.

This was not a military target. They were just ordinary people going about their daily lives. The Nazis were losing the war, so they did this out of hatred and revenge.

Yrump approves of a man from Afganistan (who helped our troops there) getting asylym here in the US in April this year.


The man is upset with National Guard being in Washington DC and shoots two of them.
Video shows the Guardsmen’s buddies tackling the man and taking him down.
Police Chief says we have hin in custory he is in a hospital.

Trump lets him in and says it is Biden’s fault{?!?}.

“WHY DID THE FBI LEAVE THIS OUT OF THEIR BRIEFING?” New York Times bestselling author Don Winslow wrote on X. “WHY DIDN’T KASH PATEL MENTION ANY OF THIS?”

Oblivious Patel says “We will find the guy that did this..” {?!?}

We have idiots running the asylum,

[What happens when Yrump is lied to about South Africa, believes it, then goes on a rampage, refuses to go to a summit, then throws a tantrum when they do not kiss his ass?]

World Leader Absolutely Rips Trump’s Social Media ‘Insults’

PICKING FIGHTS
 
The U.S. president has continued to make wild false claims about the country.

President Donald Trump warned South Africa that it will not be invited to next year’s G20 summit in Miami after what he perceived to be a snub against the United States.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa quickly clapped back, calling Trump’s salty social media post “regrettable.”

On Wednesday, Trump, 79, repeated his claim that a white “genocide” was taking place in South Africa, promoting a debunked right-wing conspiracy theory. He also said he was offended by a protocol dispute at the G20 summit held in Johannesburg last week.

The meeting was attended by leaders from Japan, China, Australia, France, South Korea, Canada, Brazil, Turkey, and other countries. But while the U.S. is usually present, Trump refused to attend or to send any White House officials to the event.

“It is a total disgrace that the G20 will be held in South Africa,” he wrote in a post on Nov. 7. “No U.S. Government Official will attend as long as these Human Rights abuses continue.”

In a G20 tradition, President Ramaphosa declared the event closed by banging a gavel on a block. The gavel is then traditionally handed over to the leader of the next country to hold the rotating presidency.

The White House instead attempted to send a staffer from its South African embassy to accept the gavel handover. However, South African officials felt handing the gavel to a junior diplomat was an insult and a breach of protocol.

Trump posted, “At the conclusion of the G20, South Africa refused to hand off the G20 Presidency to a Senior Representative from our U.S. Embassy, who attended the Closing Ceremony.”

World Leaders including Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, Indonesia's Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen, European Council President Antonio Costa, China's Prime Minister Li Qiang, Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Angola's President and Chairperson of the African Union Joao Lourenco, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney (C) France's President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, South Korea's President Lee Jae Myung and Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud pose for a photograph as leaders assembled for the “family photo” at the G20 Summit on November 22, 2025 in Johannesburg, South Africa ahead of the G20 Summit.

He added, “Therefore, at my direction, South Africa will NOT be receiving an invitation to the 2026 G20, which will be hosted in the Great City of Miami, Florida next year. South Africa has demonstrated to the World they are not a country worthy of Membership anywhere, and we are going to stop all payments and subsidies to them, effective immediately.”

Ramaphosa posted a lengthy statement on X, saying, “As the United States was not present at the summit, instruments of the G20 Presidency were duly handed over to a US Embassy official at the Headquarters of South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Cooperation.”

Ramaphosa said while the U.S. was expected to participate in all the G20 meetings, it elected not to attend the summit in Johannesburg of its “own volition.”

Ramaphosa added, “South Africa is a sovereign constitutional democratic country and does not appreciate insults from another country about its membership and worth in participating in global platforms.”

Ramaphosa said that South Africa would “never insult or demean another country or its standing and worthiness in the community of nations.”

Ramaphosa’s statement ended by noting it was “regrettable” that despite “numerous attempts” to reset South Africa’s diplomatic relationship with the U.S., “President Trump continues to apply punitive measures against South Africa based on misinformation and distortions about our country.”

In his Truth Social post, Trump claimed America’s absence from the G20 was because the South African government “refuses to acknowledge or address” Human Rights abuses endured by Afrikaners, and other descendants of Dutch, French, and German colonists.

“To put it more bluntly,” Trump said, “they are killing white people, and randomly allowing their farms to be taken from them.”

It is the latest move in the ongoing feud Trump has with South Africa over his claims they are discriminating against the white population of the country.

When Ramaphosa met with Trump at the White House in May, Trump played a video of what he claimed were the burial grounds of white farmers allegedly killed by Black South Africans trying to take their land.

Trump then confronted Ramaphosa with unsubstantiated claims that South Africa’s Black-led government is anti-white and perpetrating a “white genocide” against local farmers—while Elon Musk, the South African-born billionaire, stood on the sidelines of the Oval Office.

“Have they told you where that is, Mr. President?” Ramaphosa said in response to the claims. “I’d like to know where that is, because this I’ve never seen.”

Fact-checkers later established that the footage Trump played didn’t actually show the “burial sites” of “over a thousand” white farmers.

The white crosses on display had been temporarily erected as a memorial to a white farming couple shot dead on their premises in 2020.

Trump claimed the “Fake News Media” were not covering the “genocide.”
[because it never happened! Yrump is such an idiot, he hates black people and is willing to believe anything fake about them.]

Appeals court panel upholds nearly $1M sanctions against Trump, Alina Habba over Hillary Clinton suit
Max Rego
A federal appeals court upheld nearly $1 million in penalties against President Trump and Alina Habba for filing “frivolous” lawsuits against Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee (DNC), former FBI Director James Comey and others. William Pryor Jr., the chief judge for the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, wrote Wednesday that the president and Habba committed “sanctionable conduct” by filing suit against the parties in 2022. The president filed suit against Clinton, the DNC, Comey and 25 others more than three years ago, alleging they conspired to undermine his 2016 presidential campaign by accusing it of colluding with Russia.

MORE YRUMP LIES, no one is getting killed nor farms taken, Yrump is hallucinating
President Trump said Wednesday that South Africa would not be invited to next year’s Group of 20 (G20) summit in Miami, escalating his feud with South African officials over allegations of mistreatment of white farmers. Trump announced the decision on Truth Social as this year’s G20, which was hosted in Johannesburg, came to a conclusion. He said the U.S. did not attend this year’s event “because the South African Government refuses to acknowledge or address the horrific Human Right Abuses endured by Afrikaners, and other descendants of Dutch, French, and German settlers.” “To put it more bluntly, they are killing white people, and randomly allowing their farms to be taken from them,” Trump alleged.

Trump and Dirty Coal, Dirty Water, and Dirty Air The Trump administration is proposing to extend the life of some coal plants and their controversial waste-disposal practices. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed Tuesday to allow as many as 11 coal plants to keep operating for three extra years. The Administration is ratchiting down rules on a what it called the ‘biggest deregulatory action in U.S. history.’ Administrator Lee Zeldin’s proposals include a call to upend the basis for the EPA’s climate change actions and impact rules on emissions limits, wastewater regulations and air quality standards.

‘We need to go in!’ GOP lawmaker salivates over oil company ‘field day’ invasion promises

“Venezuela, for those Americans who do not understand why we need to go in, basically [it’s] for three reasons,” said Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL), speaking with Fox’s David Asman, The Hill reported Tuesday.

Those three reasons, Salazar explained, were for American oil companies to have “a field day” in enriching themselves with Venezuela’s oil reserves, the single-largest proven oil reserves in the world, to curb terrorism, and to oust Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, whom the Trump administration has designated as a narco-terrorist.

 

You have got to see this Kennedy poem.

I would like to know if it offended you as much as me that the leader and murderer Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia was given the red carpet treatment by the                 anti American occupier of White House. He defended and praised the leader of the country who had 15 of the 19 hijackers kill 2,976 Americans and injured thousands more. MBS also ordered the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi and American journalist because he is a thin skinned dictator (sound Familiar). Trumps display of affection for this despot was disgusting and as a New Yorker who lost friends on September 11 this enrages me. How much is Trump earning from the Saudi’s. The transactional tyrant in the White House greenlit the sale of F-35 fighters and 300 Abrams tanks to the Saudi’s. I am afraid that this orange transactional occupier of our White House, who has the attention span of a gnat (sorry gnats) will put this deal together to fill his pockets and will bite the USA in the butt in the future. The classic wannabe dictator move. Shame on the MAGA minded who put this traitor in the White House.
