Where did the $555 million disappear to?

The Reagan building is fine temporarily for the FBI. No one can ignore the Monopoly game board that Trump is playing. He is once again breaking the law.

If there was to be better, more efficient use of government infrastructure there is a correct way to conduct it. As Trump dictates the restructuring of the federal government the law and public procedures are being disregarded as well as violated. When does the abuse of power end?

Between the demolition at the White House, the elimination of vast agencies, it appears now to have a far different purpose than shrinking the size and cost of government. Trump 2.0 is running roughshod over the federal infrastructure because he believes he is better to be THE DECIDER than the American people and the rule of law. We have already seen an addition at the White House demolition; what is going to happen to the rest of our plans and processes? Trump efficiency that leads to bankruptcy? Trump might say the federal government is already bankrupt.

There is a lot of national pain coming with Trump.

I will put it this way:

Trump will fill in the “Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool” and build a gold temple to himself between the “Lincoln Memorial” and “Washington Monument.”

I mean, everyone will love the improvements of the Capital of the New “United States of the Western Hemisphere Empire.”

He had to clear out all the old dead wood of the federal agencies so he can shuffle around what is left and destroy the ancient building still standing in DC. The East Wing is nothing compared to his corrupt plans. 

How easy was it for the diabolical Putin to manipulate Trump into doing his dirty work? 

The value of vintage stone.

Trump will destroy more than the East wing of the White House starting with the J. Edgar Hoover building. He will take the vintage stone and tell the people they didn’t have to pay for hauling costs while violating federal law.

It appears to be blackmail to me.

Trump and Putin have struck up a deal. I am relieved the Canadian Prime Minister met with President Zelenskyy yesterday.

There is always a chance it isn’t and Putin could just be his usual evil self. But, here is a larger picture. 

Obviously, if Zelenskyy weakens his resolve and gives Putin his wishes then the Russian assault will stop. But, every free world country knows it is a pause in Putin’s long term goals. If there is a pause in Russia’s struggle now, it will be more than a pause but a reprieve to rebuild to his goal of an advancing nightmare in the future.

But.

What of Trump’s Western Hemisphere goals?

And.

Is the free world asking too much if Ukraine?

Ukraine’s fate has always been its own facing a border with Russia and Europe is never a clear way forward. The people of Ukraine have spoken over and over again with clear choices. We have an ally with them for all the reasons the other Post Soviet countries are allies. There simply is this insane game because Ukraine was seeking peace with Russia while the other Post Soviet states built their dreams and moved forward. Putin was never going to give up Ukraine for all the reasons Ukraine is a powerful country all by itself. Ukraine engaged in a war of attrition. That is important.

As to Trump. Simple. Yes? Mexico is China’s life blood of its economy and Canada and Greenland is NATO. Who wins when Trump takes control? Russia. It will then be pivotal to an economically disadvantaged China and  smaller NATO. 

Spoken or not. Written or not. Budapest.

South America? It is a completed picture to unlimited military recruits and economies only built on crypto. 

Who wins? Greed under the guise of military dominance leading to world control by a global cartel of greed merchants casting all less fortunate into economic slavery and poverty.

Why?

The USA is already the last great Superpower.

Trump isn’t king.

The Third Oil Tanker

The only reason Trump can’t get his hands on the third oil tanker is because there is a United Nations Security Council meeting preventing the torpedoing of the USS Gerald Ford.

Trump has no authorization to conduct the strikes on civilian boats even if they are drug runners. Trump is well outside the limits of 90 days of his right as the Executive Branch administrator to carry out emergency measures without Congress.

The USA Navy needs to move off, return to sea and real responsibility.

This is exactly the abuse of power Trump wants with his illegal independent $100 billion OCO funds.

Excuse me?

John Fitzgerald Kennedy died for this country in 1963 because of his strength of purpose in standing up for civil rights. That is fifty-two years of respecting the high moral standards he brought to this country. 

Hegseth wants to bring the racist named back to our military bases. Trump can’t hold a candle to Kennedy.

Trump is under the impression he can put his name every place on a whim. He can’t. He also has no right to unilaterally rename the Gulf of Mexico or the USA Department of Defense. He is NOT allowed legally to carry out any of those acts of hostility to the proud heritage of this country.

I am not looking forward to the 250th anniversary of the birth of this country. There is no telling what kind if circus it is going to be. It is a time of celebration with friends and allies. Trump is at the very least insulting Denmark and Greenland. And, why? Because of his petroleum cronies and some strange ideology drummed up by Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation.

I don’t think so!

Justice Alito

He is having difficulty agreeing with anyone. 

No surprise there. Has he at least gotten his flag issues straightened out? 

I think of Alito as an insurrectionist. It is impossible to assign the practice of politics to every aspect of American life without drawing a lot of questioning into light.

It is no different than the Chief Justice taking his personal frustration with racism out on the Voting Rights Act of 1964. There is such a thing as racism and bigotry in this country. It is not a myth. It is noted in tragedies like Charlottesville.

 

Wishing it away doesn’t make it so.

Data Center Funding

It is why Zuckerberg tucks himself into bed I DC with Trump. It is going to take the nation’s treasury to achieve it. 

Projects requiring enormous amounts of money are supposed to be handled through well established institutions such as The National Science Foundation.

Oh. 

But, wait.

All those great research institutions and universities have been either assaulted or defunded only to spends precious monies on lawyers. 

Interesting tidbit. Harvard has decided to keep the same President. Indefinitely. It is called a brain trust because it is a brain worthy of trust!

(Click here)

Two military funding bills

Trump has carved out a separate OCO bill. He wants the Republican legislature to give him about $100 billion for OCO and send it through reconciliation so the Democrats cannot interfere with his OCO war chest. I sincerely think he can skirt The War Powers Act by doing so.

It has to be challenged through the courts.

He has a problem with media that only finds fault with his administration. So did Nixon and Trump is a million times worse. He not only has record numbers of convicted criminals pardoned, he has pulled the FBI off surveillance of dyed in the wool racist groups. 

Political blackmail

This is RACKETEERING!!!!

USA envoys are off track.

It is nice to have new ideas, but, the USA envoys aren’t talking to allies. It seems to me Witkoff and Kushner are trying to marginalize USA allies while attempting to harass Denmark and Greenland. 

Trump thinks because he is Commander and Chief he can do as he damn well pleased. He can’t. 

Another thing, Trump’s BBB (Big, Beautiful Bill otherwise known as the taxpayer invoice) does not coincide with the new Trump boat. The bill reduces the funding to ship building. Either Trump is bald face lying or he’s delusional again. He keeps signing papers as if they actually mean something. Oh, yeah , his buddy in Moscow states they have evaluated Donald’s mental functioning. All I can say is, “Consider the source.”

Hate

The Trump administration and MAGA have enormous problems with hate. That is clearly illustrated with their methodology. Alligator Alcatraz was designed to kill anyone attempting to leave the detention facility. While a judge thinks the construction can go forward the FUNCTION of the facility is a human rights issue. 

It is astounding to realize the facility actually has people willing to work there. It surely does not have union representation. The working conditions are abysmal. That is putting it lightly.

There is a reason why Speaker Johnson kisses Trump’s ring and is a rubber stamp to every demand of the president. The state he hails from, Louisiana, has little to no economy except for immigration detention facilities.

Property

The car pictured below that was being driven by a person arrested by ICE as is reported online is someone’s property. Probably financed and insured. It was abandoned. That is not reasonable treatment of the property belonging to an arrested individual. The window is broken and the car is vulnerable to theft. That is negligence and is a liability to those making the arrest and those detaining the driver.

There is probably property inside the car.

Witnessed online was a woman employed by an immigration attorney illegally arrested. She is an American citizen. She was dragged from her car after it was rammed by ICE. They put her in handcuffs and lead her away to their unmarked vehicle without shoes on her feet. Her shoes were knocked off het in the struggle to keep her freedom. So, there now sat a damaged car with a broken window vulnerable to theft along with what were probably expensive shoes, handbag and whatever else was in that car including any documents she may have been taking to the law office.

The methodology exhibited by the agents of DHS is not safe and creates huge problems for those arrested as well as any family or friends. Lives are being turned into chaos.

Language Barrier

Most Americans can express themselves and be understood, but, what if a person doesn’t speak English or doesn’t speak English well? It is a huge problem for the person caught up in the DHS meat grinder. 

Some of the facilities being utilized are not safe for extended detentions beyond 12 hours. 

One of the advocacy that aligns with these arrests and detentions is that human beings may not know their rights. What if a human being is detained without knowing their rights or believing there is no other recourse except living through the detention with hopes for being heard. Judges are sensitive to the fact language barriers are significant obstacles to receiving the truth. What if a human being never makes it to a judge for whatever reason they don’t and are handicapped or disabled in some way.

It is my opinion DHS currently is in violation of human rights. How do we get that changed? When does the cruelty of ICE come under control? 

State governments have a responsibility to their citizens and any human being within those borders. State governors need to take example of Governor Pritzker who asked the public to continue to record and post to sites familiar to government events of ICE activities. That is a reasonable request. That action is not activism, it is an accounting of agent activity who believes they are above the law and accountability.

This is real. DHS is not operating safely. That is a known fact. The American public following ICE are not interested in attacking agents; they are most interested in protecting life.

Missing person after ICE arrest?

This is a concern, too. What if someone is taken out of their life without family or friends to notice a life was interrupted?

There needs to be a reporting of such arrests to local law enforcement. There has to an accounting of human beings to someone. If not local law enforcement then ACLU with a stipends paid by ICE to maintain contact. It is vital to have a third party involved because we already know people are detained without due process. That is a fact.

DHS needs to be held responsible for such gaps in accountability. If human beings are being arrested and processed without due process, that is a criminal act. Ask any local law enforcement if they would get away without carrying out due process. ICE should not be getting away with it either.

What did DHS do with schizophrenia?

Why was Nick going through medication adjustment on an outpatient basis? This instability was never a problem before. Three decades of life has never been a manageable problem with Nick for the Reiners. There is a reason Trump was bouncing off the walls over the Reiners’ death. What was Trump hiding? 

It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No. It is Auterion.

There are just times when the Military Industrial Complex is interesting.

Schizophrenia?

There is one report stating he was on medication and it was being adjusted. Sorry, but, why wasn’t he hospitalized when the medications were being adjusted? It isn’t exactly an outpatient diagnosis. Besides that he also had a bad habit of self-medicating with street drugs. 

I think he had too much freedom. Treating an unstable schizophrenic as if having the potential to be normal by some sort of self-willed discipline is delusional in of itself.

I have witnessed what appears as miracles when proper medication and dosage is achieved. Completely normal in demeanor, conversation, mood, and life activity. Absolutely normal and able to conduct a normal life. That doesn’t happen by mistake or self-willed, but, by assessment and treatment of a highly practiced psychiatrist. 

This is an immeasurable tragedy. It may have three victims and not just two. I think Nick Reiner should be under treatment now. If he is suicidal he needs to be treated at a secure facility. He obviously is still unstable.

This is an insult to Denmark and Greenland.

This is a hostile gesture which can be refused by Denmark. Refuse Jeff Landry and send him out of sovereign Greenland. Everyone knows Trump is a crackpot president. Congress hasn’t authorized any of this.

This plan is excellent, albeit urgent.

Europe’s charm is what tourists come to enjoy, but, safety is paramount in recent years. Until all these improvements are made there can be airlift capacity of munitions and vehicles via cargo planes with fighter escort. I congratulate the EU in taking readiness to the next level. I hope the holidays will be joyful for all NATO officers and troops.

Cuba

Venezuelan oil went to Cuba. There are no shipments now that the ships are confiscated by Trump. The Cuban people are suffering. 

This is why amateurs should stay out if it.

Republicans want to give money to Americans.

My understanding of one of the Republican plans for healthcare is to give Americans their deductible.

Supposedly when Americans purchase the healthcare insurance there is a deductible in the thousands. The federal government is to grant every American enough cold, hard cash to pay their deductible in the way of a healthcare savings account. 

I thought it was an interesting approach. So, with a healthcare savings account infused with federal tax dollars then purchase the cheapest policy possible with the highest deductible. This way Americans can pay out smaller amounts of money while the federal government is on the hook for the rest.

Now, if the Republicans are sincere about such a plan the ONLY way to know if it is a viable option for Americas is to offer it as an alternative in the Exchanges. That is the only real way to introduce new methods of paying for healthcare and healthcare insurance. Simply pulling the plug on American healthcare is reckless and dangerous. 

If lawmakers want to change healthcare insurance than make these options as an alternative. It is the ONLY safe way to do it. Americans are used to examining options on the Exchanges so this would be another one.

Poland is very important to regional stability.

What I find most interesting about Poland is the intense interest the government holds of its people. At least a year ago Poland started to build underground bomb shelters. I am not certain any other free world country has done the same. But, it is obvious Poland dearly wants its people to be safe and surviving within its sovereign borders.

Poland has so much insight to Russia’s potential to cause lasting harm to freedom. Poland also acts on its best instincts without diplomatic formality. It truly is a strong sovereign country. I consider it as important to NATO as Germany has proven to be.

All these countries understand the perils of Ukraine all to well. It is important to understand their national security needs, respect that, and assist in NATO’s safety. After all the Russian threat is in their back yards.

Just a couple of things.

 The list of over 200 masseuses has to be protected. The ladies have to come forward if they want to be known and make statements. They could make closed circuit testimony to attorneys and/or Congress. My guess is that they don’t want their lives disrupted and their children hurt. 

I never expected to see Bronson among the files. He has been knighted and is quite the businessperson. Much to his credit he has clothes on. But, it is a tropical island and Epstein is right there in the picture. Perhaps he can shed light on all this and state who the mystery man is? 

The tablet is unreadable with my pixels. It doesn’t appear to be a conventional menu either. Mr. Bronson seems proud of it.

There is some real fear here. Yes?

That is why all the covert redacting and taking photos off websites; fear. Why hide the truth? 

I believe conclusions can be drawn from these actions. The actions of the DOJ are fact. We are all witnessing AND have witnessed a DOJ frantic to hide the truth. This avoidance of the truth speaks for itself. The avoidance has been the dominating factor since Trump’s election has closed out.

Trump used Epstein’s conviction and then death to indict Democrats in strange behaviors. Trump supporters want the files to carry out justice. Trump’s followers have been convinced by him the files are vital. Why avoid the truth?

 I didn’t expect real leadership from any Republican. Johnson in the House is such a whim and rubber stamp I thought they all surrendered the country. 

I am impressed. Senator Cruz is correct, China under Xi has methodically dominated Africa’s coastlines. It is a problem.

Senator Cruz is taking a very interesting approach to unwind the Chinese entanglements that threaten the USA. It is a little to early to say thank you, but, currently it appears he has established a vital forum to address our national security. It is appreciated.

This is not our homeland.

Venezuela was never a USA possession. There are scads and scads of troubled relations between countries around the world, but, the USA has no claim to Venezuela. 

Most often other conflicts are based in sovereign principles and not asset disputes. Trump is wrong. I think it was Chavez that wrote a book about the South American silver mines that were raided by colonial powers from Europe. 

If Exxon lost assets to a change of government in Venezuela it is up to Exxon to seek relief from the new government through court proceedings. The USA military is not a corporate mercenary power.

As much free nations dislike Maduro and/or the autocratic regime there is no USA basis for conflict. Changing governments occur. American soldiers do not receive a corporate paycheck. Last I remember that is a job for Eric Prince.

The USA attempts diplomacy to bring about benevolent relationships with other countries. When Nixon went to China it opened a door to an isolated peoples. American corporations set up business in communist China. The tone in the relationship was very different then. But, one thing has never changed and that is the government has its own way of walking and talking. That means it is not business as usual. Heck, the language isn’t the same. Cultural differences don’t translate well. 

It is called eminent domain.

Insight to Trump propaganda

Trump uses KEY WORDS. No content, just words. He claims the words Border and Groceries are what elected him this time. 

Please understand this is the METHODOLOGY of the President of the United States of America. He is pedaling Key Word strategies in international policies.

If there are policies at all. 

Recently his Chief of Staff gave an astounding interview. Trump is an empty shell impressed with his ability to be controlling through language that is terrifying to the civilized world. Trump has to be isolated and his abuse of power ended. Don’t look for cohesion in any policy if he is unable to contextualize the words he speaks.

I realize the Daily Show uses humor. This is not funny.

Distraction

While Trump is busy CAUSING problems through federal agencies, he is also compromising national security. 

Governor Waltz and his administration have to take allegations seriously, but, they have to do so with a headwind of lack of cooperation. Trump’s administration makes public allegations before evidence is known. The state and federal government should be working hand in hand to end fraud, but instead the media is used for distraction, sensationalism, and propaganda.

Generalized statements are unhelpful when trying to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse. The Governor and his staff need specifics. This DRAMA QUEEN behavior by the Trump administration is a waste of time. 

Trump is currently trying to move the focus of our national security to the Western Hemisphere. He is favoring deals with China for our most sophisticated artificial intelligence computer chips. Before China sent balloons and spies; now they send a memo at best. Trump is trying to end involvement with allies while supplying USA technology to communists. Trump can call it what he wants but it is treason. Trump is not just incompetent of national security, he us openly sabotaging it for payoffs.

Best advice I have.

The Golden Rule is based in Matthew 7:10.

“do unto others as you would have them do unto you”

Transgender Care

Independent hospitals need to be organized by physicians who care for the transgender community. The people need help and while the victimization of this administration continues, there has to be a strategy forward for them. It may mean the only opportunity for youngsters is a special school in Europe if that is still an option. But, the idea Americans are being abandoned to their own fears of who they believe they are is also extreme mental cruelty. 

This is not how to address changes in health care. Sudden changes in the name of Project 2025 is quite frankly a human rights violation; as well as the idea of abandonment of Americans who feel differently about their gender identity.

The community needs to find alternatives. We all know the desperation when one finally identifies differently than their gender at birth. Hopelessness, despair and demise. That is Un-American.

Extreme Mental Cruelty

Picture (click here)

The reason society is experiencing upheaval at every level is because of the extreme mental cruelty of the Trump Administration.

As immigrants have made a life for themselves and have it turned into a huge nightmare is a reality Donald doesn't understand. I am not going to justify killing, but, stress when realizing the life one has made is going to end badly will result in anti-social events. 

Kindly think about this.

The USA has been a beacon of hope for immigrants for most, if not all, its existence. 

At the time Ellis Island was welcoming people from around the world, the immigrants were valuable labor. They worked to improve the country's infrastructure and supply economic vitality. The USA is a large country. There has been a lot of places to settle. The railroad opened up this country and wagon trains before. No one is coming to the USA expecting to be deported to El Salvador to be tortured and beaten.

Not one person sent to El Salvador, in spite of their tattoos, was a criminal. None had a criminal record in the USA. That was NONE. 

All of a sudden Trump's ideology kicks in and he starts deporting good and decent people to places inspired by hell. Imagine waking up to a reality straight out of hell. One day a person is working, planning for the future, enjoying life and freedom and all of a sudden on the evening news, on a favorite radio frequency there are reports of deportations to who knows where. 

Trump has chosen PURPOSELY to deport to Third World countries. Not only Third World countries, but, SPECIFICALLY countries where the deportee has no experience and huge language barriers. Their future is not only bleak, but, dangerous. The question will they live through this ordeal is wide open. There is a very good chance the deportees will die upon arrest, stashed in a prison with an alligator moat, on a plane flight, or upon landing wishing they were dead when they reach their destination.

Now, imagine being a well educated immigrant that came to this country with high hopes from a friend that had written how wonderful life was in the USA. A promising education at a highly sought after university, a successful life right up to the point where Trump declares all immigrants illegitimately occupying space in the USA. Trump doesn't even want OUR IMMGRANTS to breath the air as his hatred runs deeper and deeper as time goes on.

Then Melania comes out, at the very least an AI image of her, stating there will be no dual citizenship. I had to check out the voice because I thought I was getting a transmission compliments of Putin. Russia's movement to end dual citizenship and change their citizens to ONLY Russian Speaking People is all documented on this blog. It started about a decade or more ago. Now, loyalty to Putin includes death at the front lines of a war with Ukraine that never should have begun.

Up to that announcement the other day, the First Lady had mostly stayed out of the fray. Interesting that has changed.

Donald John Trump is a diabolical man with severe mental health problems. The sooner that is realized the better. Just because he is following a contorted Republican Playbook entitled Project 2025 doesn't mean he is a dedicated MAGA so much as a man that takes direction well.

The insanity of Donald Trump and his band of followers, including his family, needs to end. And soon.

Claudio Manuel Veves-Valente

This is what DHS is posting in expectation of Americans realizing how dangerous immigrants are and why the Trump administration is so viciously perusing every one of them including naturalized citizens.

I don’t see it that way. I believe the Trump administration is pushing our immigrant community to the brink. I blame this administration for the incredible stress our immigrant population is experiencing. 

In witnessing this man’s journey from Florida to the university where he found success and to the home of a fellow citizen-immigrant he was looking for security in a country now turned against him. A brilliant physicist unable to cope with emotional pain inflicted because of hate at every turn.

I didn’t watch Trump scream at the country.

Benjamin Netanyahu

This will appear arrogant, but, it needs to be said. 

One of the missions of Israel is to provide a safe haven for the faith and the faithful. One of the missions of the Prime Minister is to strengthen ties to every country where the Jewish diaspora lives. Prime Minister Netanyahu is failing his purpose on a global basis. 

After the assassinations of innocent people gathering to celebrate their faith on Bondi Beach, Prime Minister Netanyahu openly criticized the Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for the carnage. Netanyahu stated Australia exhibited the wrong set of values considered to be anti-semitic.

The failure in leadership belongs to Netanyahu and his war cabinet. Their continued cruelty and inhuman treatment of Palestinians is endangering the lives of the Jewish diaspora in every corner of the world. Valuing life and human rights of Palestinians is not the wrong set of values. Stating such values exist in free societies is more of the same self-righteousness of Israeli leadership resolved to destroy any semblance of order in

The Middle East. 

Hamas cannot be considered a viable form of leadership. They are terrorists that were able to propagandize suffering to form a political party and turn Palestine into a country of hatred rather than peace. Terrorists finding that type of foothold need to be recognized and removed from power.

Is there a single tunnel left in Gaza? Then destroy them, make Israel safe, end the suffering of the Palestinians, and carry out rules to bring about a benevolent government for them, but, end it already. They are human beings that require a homeland and not further displacement.

There is not one Jewish man, woman, or child safe and it is a direct result of the continued suffering of the Palestinian people. Israel cannot be there to protect them. Israel is unrealistic in expecting every other country to know the next attack. There will be more. No one knows when or where as the deaths in Australia were never supposed to occur.

I could go on and on about the gun lobby and the loopholes they create within law due to their particular political pollution, but, in this case it is a war against humanity that is of issue and it must end.

This was written as Hanukah is being celebrated. It is not anti-semitic, just unfortunate.

It is surreal. A sincere tragedy.

Spinal Tape was Rob Reiner’s first acting venture. Spinal Tap was a very unique movie. It was an inspiration to many and began a new genre. 

His first directing venture was the  “Princess Bride.” (Click here) Most Americans don’t realize how deeply affected the film industry is reeling from their deaths. As much as he was conventional in many ways, he was also a mover and shaker during most of his career. He impacted the end of “When Sally met Harry,” as it was the film when he met his spouse, Michele. 

(Click here) Princess Bride

The New York Times is correct and what makes these murders such a shock. Rob and Nike walked together in life. Nick was a troubled person and his father was deeply concerned for him. It is shocking to find such a tragedy to the end of life of a brilliant couple. No one would have thought this possible.

My understanding is that the couple’s daughter lived on the property and was the one that found them dead. I can’t help believe she may know something and may have feared her brother. But, perhaps not. 

Rob and Nick (Click here)

This is a very sad day. Many people who appreciate film know the extent the Reiner’s talent existed and never could conceive of any of this. It is so astonishing. I understand Nick may have been homeless to his drug addiction. Homelessness is one of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. One of the very basic requirements to human beings is a home. I can’t help but speculate that this might have played a role in Nick’s unhinged rampage. 

To the family mourning this loss, they are not alone.
