Kevin Hassett believes politics is more important than Americans.

(Click here)

He is currently the Director of National Economic Council of the United States of America. 

He states President Trump’s economic policies are working.

Hm?

At whose expense? 

Hassett complains that cutting government spending reduces inflation.

So, let me get this right. President Trump and his legislative minions have cut off subsidies to the Affordable Care Act in the Big Beautiful Bill to reduce inflation? How exactly does that work? Oh, wait. I get it now. Cut the subsidies, cut inflation, abandon Americans in need of healthcare to emergency rooms, send hospital systems into chaos and financial ruin, but, the bottom line is that the inflation is under control simply because health insurance no longer is purchased, hence, end of inflation.

Seriously? That is not controlling inflation, that is victimization of Americans.

The personnel normally taking care of these military installations have changed. The commanders may not have the experience with these ships and facility. 

Sue the Navy for private contractors to assess the facility. 

Infants, pregnant women, and children are at risk depending on the radiation levels. Local hospitals need to be on alter. City buses can move populations away from danger. 

Food and water supplies could be at risk. This is the time to protect people and ask questions later. Regardless of the radiation levels is it known how long they have been elevated? Length of time of exposure is an issue as well as levels.

Trump’s soybeans

If Americans can’t afford the bread then they should make it themselves. The picture immediately below is tofu. A half a cup of tofu contains at least 10 grams of protein.

Below is a picture of bushels of soybeans currently in silos without a future use.

When the USA had so much spare grain it was at times dumped to maintain the price of the grain as a commodity. The other use was to send it to distant lands to feed people there. 

Today, we have a president that sunk the price farmers need to continue their work and to support their families. The largest buyer of American soybeans has been China. So farmers were abandoned by the President and his administration to chase a dream that imports could be taxed to pay USA costs to removes taxes as prescribed by the sixteenth amendment. 

China has not returned to purchase American farmer’s soybeans. Congress has ended the tariffs as of yesterday, October 30, 2025 

(Click here). That does not mean the soybeans are leaving the grain bins. 

I once grew soybeans on a small acreage farm where most of our crops were vegetables. Our soybeans were a cash crop harvested by large agricultural machines called combines. I could have just as easily turned those acres of unharvested soybeans into pick your own. As a matter of fact even after harvesting there was enough left on the ground to fill a bushel. 

American farmers need to sell their crops. Americans need grain, no different than those the UN sends food help to people in need. People can band together to seek purchase of grain from American farmers that can’t sell it elsewhere. Food cooperatives can result in wholesale purchases of soybeans, wheat, oats and any other commodity to provide for communities of people. We can find a way to provide grain and food to our communities while supporting our farmers to allow them to farm.

Nearly 3:00 pm on October 30, 2025...

...with about nine hours until October 31, 2025. Then there is another 24 hours until November 1, 2025.

The current fiscal year has been alive about 30 days. Americans are waiting to live their lives because of the delay in Washington, DC. The problems the USA faces today are enormous. The American people are expecting Washington, DC to work. They want every Representative and Senator doing their job to solve the problems they face. The work to solve the problems of the American people is not being conducted. 

The USA House is dismissed from work. The government is shutting down more and more everyday. I believe that is the desire of the Republican Party. Why is the USA House of Representatives being paid? They have dismissed the problems Americans are facing as important. The importance of American concerns have been dismissed and so the pay checks of the USA House should be dismissed as important.

The government shut down should be effecting the USA Legislation as much as the people of the USA. The Republicans are blaming the Democrats for a government shut down. There is no blaming the Democrats if an entire legislative house is on dismissal of their responsibility. The USA House is NOT solving the problems of the USA. The continuing resolution the USA House passed is hurting Americans. The only people seeing that as important are a group of Democrats demanding attention to the budget that is currently victimizing the American people.

The continuing resolution passed by the Republican majority is victimizing the American people. There is blame. There is plenty of blame to go around as the victimization continues to grow to more and more people. This is not a difficult issue, the USA legislature should be working today to negotiate the future of the American people in a way that is predictable and measurable. To simply decide that the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid is not worth the paper it is printed on and then to completely defund those measures is a victimization of the people of the USA that will result in their illness and death. There are many aspects of the health care law that protects American lives such as preventive care. All that is important and not simply the glib idea that emergency rooms can provide care to the uninsured. Seeking to place American health care at the Emergency Room destroys the fundamental nature of the American health care paradigm based in timely preventive care to cut the cost of neglected people with enormous problems requiring extensive stays in hospitals, etc. These parameters are recognized and accepted as the best health care for the people that require it.

The Republicans are cutting off the lifeline to millions of Americans by defunding Medicaid and eliminating financial support for health care insurance decisions. The Republicans are making health care decisions for the American people instead of their personal physicians. Not only that, but, the continued belligerence of the Republicans will be costing Americans the simple nutrition they and their families need to require health care. The SNAP benefits needed by millions of American children is ending because the funding is not available today. This is a huge problem facing Americans as they seek food banks to live and the food banks are defunded. 

The resolution by Republicans is to pull the plug. The Republicans want the change of the future to happen now regardless of the neglect of the American people and the children in need. That is not governance. That is victimization. The people need a governance that examines the change needed for the future and to act on it. What the people do not need is an undermining of their ability to cope with inflation and choices that are all wrong. There should be no choices to make when it comes to eating vs healthcare. There should be no choices that dictate adverse outcomes. Those are not choices, those are creating a victimization of the American people they never asked for nor agreed were FAIR.

The Republican continuing resolution is UNFAIR to the people of this great country and the Congress needs to return to resolve the problems Americans face without first victimizing them as if they need a bandaid torn off their conscious in order to see their way forward. That is a strategy that is permission to create victims and then look the other way. The American people don't need a strategy, they need answers and the continued neglect by Republicans to even identify the needs of the people is what has the government continuing it's advance to failure.

It is called nuclear armaments for jets.

It doesn’t get more convenient for Putin, does it? He gets rid of Americans without risk of killing Russians.

How stupid is Trump? 

It is the Russian equivalent of the C-5 Supergalaxy.

It took some time to load it and fly it to Venezuela. It is only the beginning of a Russian build up in the Caribbean Sea. Parking a Carrier Group in the Caribbean Sea was going to invite the communists. This is their reason for living. A real chance to take over the western hemisphere. 

The only pressure that will reverse this is the USA moving into Ukraine. Pressure on Moscow. Hell is being delivered to the USA now. 

The unspoken “peace” is broken. The five nuclear nations “understand” each other. I wouldn’t call it respect, but, they honor deterrents. Hegseth violated the basis of “the balance of power.” The communists have been preparing for this since Trump’s first term.

There won’t be any deals. Communication has already broken down. The communists took all the classified information Trump gave them before the insurrection on January 6th and made their plans, then came Biden.

Melissa has historic central pressures.

This is from the Associated Press. The military is keeping track of Melissa. 

I was looking at some photos from Jamaica and realized there are a lot more boats in the Caribbean Sea than Columbia and Venezuela. I have to suspect the arrival of USA Navy’s carrier group is pretty terrifying to others. 

There are subsistence fishermen utilizing those waters.

Taking advantage of gray areas of law.

The scoundrels of the Trump administration know they have some leeway due to their status. So, in order to distract from issues like Jeffery Epstein Bondi and Nome decided some propaganda would be appropriate.

They put their toe over the line and accept criticism knowing to comes with little consequence.

It is not Hegseth’s private militia.

It is an intimidation tactic to ensue obedience regardless of lawlessness.

Hegseth is acting against the sovereign rights of the USA. 

Congress should be holding closed hearings for proof of these claims to determine appropriate nature of Trump’s 90 days into the sovereign waters of Columbia and Venezuela campaign which involved a huge expense to the USA military costs.

This is the problem with the U.S. House being chronically recessed, there is a country to run and it’s not exclusively limited to healthcare.

There is an aspect to Trump’s administration that is mostly unprecedented; there is no recognition of forgiveness of past criminal history. That is the case both domestically and internationally. Domestically if an immigrant has any criminal history that person faces deportation proceedings. All the demands of the criminal justice system have been met, but, the history alone stands as relevant. 

That is a violation of USA law. 

Double jeopardy.

Once a criminal faces the justice prescribed by due process that ends the criminal sentence as an obligation. Time served, etc. 

The same demand for prolonged sentences past the criminal penalty was sighted in the death of the Colombian fisherman. While Columbia complained about the death of the fisherman Trump’s administration stated as if relevant that he had a history of drug involvement WITHOUT disclosing any facts past or present. 

This entire war theater in the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean has reached it’s 90

day limit and is entering into secrecy arrangements not allowed by USA military law or requirements. The attack by Hegseth against disclosure to Congress and any Inspector General is a violation of the oath of office.

Category 5 Hurricane

GET THEM OUT OF THERE !

Winds are minimally 140 mph with expected rainfall of 20 to 30 inches. Winds that high will send sailors off the edge of the ships, damage assets, and will flood the boats with bilge pumps working as hard as they can. Get them out of the way. Now.

Hegseth put the USA Navy at risk with a category five hurricane spun up in the Caribbean Sea.

Every commanding officer is required to put the safety of our sailors first as well as the assets on those ships.

I don’t want to hear about heroics. Katrina tossed oil platforms around like tinker toys while pulling them from their moorings.

There are no surviving drug cartel boats in a category five hurricane.

Roe v Wade

I suppose I have to read the decision in full, but, in an interview Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett stated abortion is unconstitutional because of Due Process. 

That is a political manipulation of the USA Constitution. Due Process, or any other rule of law applies to citizens of the USA. The 14th Amendment states “…anyone born in the United States and Territories is a citizen at birth…”.

A person by law is not a citizen of this country until birth. That means Due Process only applies to the woman that does not want the pregnancy and/or has a pregnancy that can kill her. 

Sorry, but, the Dobbs decision is crackpot lawyering for political expediency to override any legislative process.

The basis of Dobbs needs to be challenged again and again until a constitutional decision results. This is nuts.

A fetus at any stage of development is not a USA citizen until birth. The decision is wrong. A birth results in a viable life. Currently, at about 24 weeks the fetus can survive outside the uterus with life support systems.

Every USA citizen has a right to a life of happiness with or without a uterus. A woman with a uterus has every right to control her own body in privacy.

Abortions were always considered a medical decision and LEGAL since the 16th century on the land now called the United States of America. The exception to receiving an abortion in the times of the colonies was up to the point of “quickening.” Quickening (feeling life - baby felt in uterus by the mother) occurs between 16 and 22 weeks. 

Abortion is a crackpot political issue.

Why Letitia James?

The claims Trump is making through the DOJ are basically insignificant. So, why? Money, that is why and it has absolutely nothing to do with a piece of property Ms. James owns.

This is from two years ago. Trump could never win any of the cases brought on the merits, so, he retaliates through defamation of the prosecutors. We saw this same strategy in Georgia. Personal attacks against prosecutors to attempt to remove financial liability for his chronic criminal methods of fraud.

The same can be said about James Comey. And when Former Director Comey hired a very able attorney that is also a friend of his, Trump’s DOJ drummed up more untruths about Patrick Fitzgerald. 

I think Bondi and Trump have been crooks for so long they honestly believe this is how it is done. Ya know. Ya go through college and LD school, take the stupid bar examine and all of a sudden reality comes to visit. Then low and behold lots of money comes your way as covering up crime, playing to political cronies, and attacking your political enemies works.

So, here we are with a bunch of dirty crooks at the top of the federal government pretending to be noble while abusing power to find millions, billions, and trillions for their personal comforts, while FINALLY doing the dirty work no one else was willing to do, like assaulting Venezuela, and conquering every oil deposit in the world including Canada and Greenland for complete control over any country’s energy sector.

Crooks have far different priorities. Does anyone actually believe those priorities are wholesome to benefit the people of this country? No. Nothing Trump does benefits the people of the USA, everything benefits him. Yes, him personal. Like Argentina. Anyone check out the increased value of the Argentine Peso? Ride the bubble. What fun. Why bail out Argentina when Wall Street can achieve the same goal by a simple spoken promise?

Anyone know where the Trumps keep their off shore accounts?

Jeffery Manchester

Thank him for his service.

Commute his sentence.

Apologize for sending back into the same poverty he left when he put his life in the line to protect the people of this country by serving in the military.

Give him $100,000 at least for pain and suffering.

Ask him what kind of work he wants to provide a life for himself and the families that miss him. Then provide the education and support he needs to achieve it.

Then ask him if he would consider a career with the CIA.

Health and Education

They are tools of any Free World Democracy.

These are not luxuries for the elite. They are necessities to maintain democracy and freedom.

Think about it.

Abuse of power

The collective laws of the USA Constitution are based in benevolence, not power. The laws are written with clear buffers to absolute power of the Executive Branch. The reason why Trump is abusing the powers of USA law is because the Congress has surrendered to the power of money in politics as CREATED by a 2010 judicial decision of “Citizens United vs Federal Election Commission.”

When examining the historical benevolence of governance of the USA Constitution as opposed to its application since that judicial decision the deterioration of political balance is pivotal. There is absolutely no doubt that Trump is in the office of the president because Elon Musk spent enormous amounts of money to win that election for the sole purpose of implementing racketeering.

The Trade Law of 1974 is not being followed and can be used internationally to disempower the tariffs imposed by an unchecked executive branch. Trump is allowed to impose tariffs emergently while investigations of unfair trade practices go forward. Those investigations are then to be presented to Congress to pass laws to return the balance of economic fairness.

Foreign trade partners can freely submit their own investigations to the USA Congress and international organizations such as the WTO for a return to balance of trade. If tariffs are applied unfairly by Trump, a demand for refund of those tariffs can be made. 

Ten months and not one investigation.

Trump is breaking the Trade Law of 1974. The law was written to empower the Executive  Branch of the USA government to act emergently to protect USA businesses. The law was not written as a power tool of a dictator. Here again the Republican Congress has failed to act to resolve tariff issues raised by Trump. 

The Trade Act of 1974 was never written to replace Amendment 16 which allows the government to impose income taxes to support the federal government. The 1974 trade law is to impose tariffs FAIRLY as a balance of trade to protect the domestic economy. The law was never written for the purpose of creating a wind fall profit for the federal government. 

Here again Trump is abusing power of the people and allowed to do so by a majority Congress that looks the other way rather than governing.

The Caribbean Sea is a sea and not the ocean.

This map is from researchgate.net (click here) illustrating the depth of the Caribbean Sea. The USA Navy has a deep displacement for its armadas. I find the dispatch of an aircraft carrier group highly irregular, unsafe, placing our sailors at risk in far shallower waters than should ever be entertained as a possibility. If Hegseth is dismissing USA Navy leadership in disagreement with him, there are damn good reasons why they are dissenting. 

Hegseth has no clue what he is doing. Moving a carrier group into the Caribbean Sea is inviting war at our borders. 

Epstein

It is a mistake to dismiss the Epstein pedophilia as an old issue. Saying he is deaf so the crimes are dead and there is no story here to chase is completely wrong. 

One of the aspects of Epstein’s story is the religious site in St. Thomas. It was an attempt to legitimize pedophilia. There have at times been discussions of about acceptance of pedophilia such as “The Man - Boy Connection.”

There is always the ideation of revisiting pedophilia as a dedicated religion. If the discussion of the perversion of Epstein and Maxwell becomes silent, the demons can creep back in. I think the Epstein focus is correct and should be seen to the end and a real world understanding of pedophilia’s damages even to adulthood. We have lost women to suicide that were once Epstein’s victims. They need a memorial to society’s failings. 

Jack Smith

I believe him to a great American. 

If he is denied the opportunity to testify on the record because of the cowardess of Republican leadership, there is an alternative.

Democrats can pursue a formal letter to Jack Smith’s lawyers asking him to accept questionnaires he answers under oath. Those questionnaires can be published to Americans.

The ACA saves lives.

It is estimated 50,000 deaths will occur annually in the USA if the Republicans succeed in blocking the funding needed to support Americans with their healthcare premiums. With a statistic like that no one should be looking at the person in the mirror favorably if denying healthcare is a priority. 

The Republicans are wrong in their support of a very bad budget bill. 

Millions of Americans will lose the health insurance and the very option of wellness care. Wellness care does not occur in an emergency room. Americans that are left with emergency room treatment due to lack of healthcare insurance are at the risk of death without wellness care ( preventive care is mandatory annually).

Trump’s Press Secretary is lying.

This is the official government website for the Affordable Care Act. It CLEARLY states it is impossible for undocumented immigrants to access the website and purchase healthcare insurance. 

The Democrats want funding for Americans already eligible for financial help under the Affordable Care Act. If the Republicans would join with the truth this shutdown might end.

ABA - Ya hafta trust somebody.

Basically, the legal society of the USA recognize the Robert's Court as corruptive of the Rule of Law. You have to know if the Supreme Court isn't demanding ethical treatment of the political mechanisms that protect the USA Constitution, they are corrupt to the core.

The Supreme Court has sanctioned PARTISAN gerrymandering. Got that? Let's review that one time.

The Supreme Court has sanctioned PARTISAN gerrymandering.

The Supreme Court has sanctioned PARTISAN gerrymandering. 

Yep. It is called corruption.

Since the Supreme Court has decided gerrymandering, currently called redistricting is the way political advantages are won in the USA, it is time for all Democratic Governors to get down and dirty. Sorry, but, there is no real ethical way to play fair anymore. 

The Supreme Court, Gerrymandering, and the Rule of Law (click here)

Summary

Constitutionally, gerrymandering is the equivalent of giving every Republican in the state two votes while giving only one to every Democrat.

In Baker v. Carr, Justice William J. Brennan notes two basic situations in which a constitutional claim should be treated as a non-justiciable political question.

Rucho v. Common Cause is the first case after the decision in Carr in which the U.S. Supreme Court held that it could not develop manageable standards and concluded that there was no way to establish standards for identifying unconstitutional maps.

Jump to:

Although the U.S. Supreme Court has undermined the rule of law in a whole variety of areas, its treatment of partisan gerrymandering is arguably the most destructive. The reason is that gerrymandering is the one area of the law where the Court itself acknowledges that state and local officials are regularly violating the Constitution, but it has refused to allow any federal judicial remedy. And it has done that based solely on the highly debatable suggestion that it is just too difficult to establish standards for separating lawful from unlawful conduct. The Court created this problem by ruling, in Rucho v. Common Cause in 2019, that any federal constitutional challenge to a district map, based on the theory that it is a partisan gerrymander, presents a non-justiciable “political question.” As a result, in this one field, there is literally no “rule of law” because the Constitution can be violated with no consequences.

What Is a Gerrymander?

A partisan gerrymander is a district map—for Congress, or for a state legislature, county commission, and the like—that is intentionally designed to enhance the power of one political party at the expense of the other, regardless of how the people of the jurisdiction may choose to vote in a given election. This is a uniquely American problem because we are the only democracy in the world with two features—(1) the use of single-member “first past the post” districts (an inheritance from the British), and (2) systems that allow partisan legislators to draw the maps that we use (in most states). In other countries, if districts are used, they are drawn by non-partisan officials. And in most of the world’s democracies, there are mechanisms to ensure that seats in the legislative body are proportional to the votes cast by the people....

There was a time when gerrymandering was a bad word.

Now, because of a politicized Supreme Court, redistricting, AKA gerrymandering, is a method to protect the USA Constitution from the Republican Oligarchy.

Politics refers to the study and practice of organizing and managing a state or community. It involves various activities related to governance and the administration of public affairs.

Gerrymandering is a problem. It has always been a problem. Now, the Republican Party wants all Americans to think gerrymandering isn't happening, but, simply redistricting 5 years early. It is called corruption.

There is a difference between redistricting and gerrymandering. Neither are illegal, but, gerrymandering is unethical, until it has now become a strategy to protect the USA democracy. See, Trump has a lot on the line in the 2026 elections. The criminal president is working overtime to attempt to once again steal the election. Yes, the election of 2024 was stolen by Elon Musk who has profited widely and immediately after Trump's inauguration.

Redistricting has now become a survival of this democracy.

September 29, 2025

Efforts to redraw (click here) U.S. House districts for partisan advantage are spreading to more states ahead of next year’s elections.

Lawmakers in three states have approved new congressional districts since President Donald Trump began pushing for mid-decade redistricting.

The trend began in Texas, where the Republican-led Legislature passed a plan backed by Trump. California Democrats responded with their own map to help their party, though it still requires voter approval. On Sunday, Republican Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe signed a revised congressional map into law.

Redistricting typically occurs once a decade, immediately after a census. But in some states, there is no prohibition on a mid-cycle map makeover. The U.S. Supreme Court also has said there is no federal prohibition on political gerrymandering, in which districts are intentionally drawn to one party’s advantage.

Nationally, Democrats need to gain three seats next year to take control of the House. The party of the president typically loses seats in the midterm congressional elections.

Here is a rundown of what states are doing:...

Marc Campos holds a copy of the lawsuit won by his father, Tony Campos, in his Heights home on Oct. 21, 2025, in Houston. In 1987, Tony Campos sued the city of Baytown in a landmark case that opened the door for Black and Hispanic voters to join together to bring voting rights challenges across the country.

...Tony Campos died in 2023, (click here) the year before his case was overturned and two years before the Texas Legislature cited that new court precedent as Republicans positioned themselves to grab as many as five new seats.

“It was painful to see my dad’s name in the news, for the wrong reasons,” said Marc, a longtime political consultant for Houston-area Democrats. “He was having memory issues the last few years, but he always remembered that suit.”

Forty miles away, Mark Henry watched the same proceedings and saw a very different story. As Galveston County judge, Henry helped overturn Campos’ ruling, getting the same court to approve of his dismantling of the county’s one majority non-white district, and rule that “coalition districts” couldn’t be allowed as a remedy to discriminatory maps.

This sharp reversal of four decades of court precedent was a seismic shift in voting rights, as celebrated in conservative legal circles as it was vilified in liberal ones. It will now be harder to challenge new voting maps in court, especially in multiracial urban areas where no one racial group dominates, and opens the door to redraw diverse, Democratic-leaning districts previously sanctioned by the courts....

No Respect President

It is called defacing government property. Congress is hideously silent as Trump walks all over and shits on the American people. 

I am quite certain it is illegal. This assault against history started when he destroyed The Rose Garden. This is more of the same. Isn’t the East Wing where the First Lady has her Executive Offices? 

Trump has no right to destroy the house the American people treasure for their First Family. Trump needs to be personally sued for restoration of the original Rose Garden and now the East Wing. This is not his property. It is supposed to be an honor to live among the history of the White House. 

Wasn’t it Former Bill Clinton that caught hell from Republicans for allowing guests to sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom? Look, Trump is a sick man, this is more of the same. The White House from here going forward must be returned to its ORIGINAL structure and stature. It is our history Trump hates and does not have permission to rewrite it.

The White House is the First Family residence but is a museum where thousands come to visit every year. This is not allowed.  Trump is turning the USA into a banana republic that transforms into insults everyday. It is an outrageous expression of nouveau riche power and outside appropriate demeanor for a president of this country.

Climate change lawsuits are intended as a tax on oil companies and consumers is a lie.

There is dearly nothing more toxic to the climate of Earth than the petroleum industry and attempting to put fear into consumers that their demand for alternative energies and the past polluting habits of petroleum is some kind of huge conspiracy theory is a lie.

From Facebook

Meta just announced it’s cutting ≈ 600 jobs in its Meta Superintelligence Labs AI division.
Meanwhile, the company has been on a massive hiring spree, poaching top talent from OpenAI and others with compensation packages reaching hundreds of millions.
Meta didn't have to do this.
They posted $62 billion in net profit in 2024.
Layoffs come with a massive cost.
They should be a LAST resort for companies.
For many people, especially those on visas, it’s not just a job loss.
It’s a life upheaval.
Layoffs like these are short-sighted.
Meta’s mission is to “build community and bring the world closer together.”
You don’t build community by cutting people loose.
You don’t bring the world closer together by laying off 600 people in one of the most profitable years in company history.

Putin

People have to stop taking every word Trump says as law. President Zelenskyy was a pawn to Trump’s propaganda volley. That is highly unethical contributing to an uncertain path. 

Are the Ukrainian children returned yet? There is no success there either? Does any of this have validity or do the Trump’s like to appear to have the world on a leash?

Arrogance

There is a huge difference between governance and arrogance. The Trump administration does not govern, it has an arrogant attitude to cover up the fact they don’t know what they are doing.

The reason no one is stopping Hegseth from killing innocent people fishing in their sovereign waters is because the experienced leaders are gone. Those that are not gone have been insulted so they aren’t helpful so much as contained.

Pam Bondi is probably the best example of arrogant attitude as demonstrated at the Senate hearing. RFK, Jr. is no different.

Arrogance is the appearance of competency others simplify don’t understand. So, considered the Trump presidency is based on lies, no one needs to understand anything except the truth. 

The arrogance of the Trump administration is getting the USA into a lot of trouble. The Congress needs to identify the trouble and act to close that gap of authority based in truth. Trump himself is such an arrogant man he boasts victory over Russia while the JCPOA expires and Iran is being empowered by Putin. 

There are many problems being stirred up by Trump. It is time this administration finds remorse and brings military leadership back to the Pentagon. 

More of the same (click here). Savaya delivered Michigan and now with Russia’s proxy Iran coming back into view, he is given the status of special envoy to Iraq. 

It is all a lot of mischief without benevolent policies. Well. Syria is in play again. Or should I say, still.
