Birds of a feather flock together

Eric Adam’s found a kinship with Trump. They are both corrupt to the bone. So, why not use Adam’s to divide and conquer? Trump is hoping the Adam’s voter will abandon the Democratic Party.

Mexico needs to build desalination plants

A desalination plant won't solve the short term problem. There will have to be supplies brought in from other countries. Mexico will have to develop autonomy in meeting the needs of the people. There needs to be investment in infrastructure. There are some wealthy folks in Latin America. They should concentrate on the people's needs and the capitalism that will satisfy those needs.

None of this should be happening overnight. There must be processes, especially with allies, that allow their ultimate independence. This is inhumane. If the river is stunted because of use in the USA from it's headwaters, then trucking water in has to be considered.

For the first time (click here) in more than 80 years, the U.S. has denied Mexico's request for water from the Colorado River, escalating tensions over a water-sharing agreement between the two nations.

The State Department says it denied the request because Mexico hasn't complied with the 1944 treaty that established the water-sharing system. That agreement requires Mexico to send 1.75 million acre-feet of water from the Rio Grande to the U.S. every five years. In turn, the U.S. must send 1.5 million acre-feet of water to Mexico from the Colorado River each year.

By the end of 2024, Mexico had delivered only a quarter of what it owed for the current five-year period, which ends in October. Mexico has been struggling with severe droughts for several years. In the first quarter of 2024, the country's agricultural production fell by 6.1 percent, according to a report from the Bank of Mexico. Activity in the north-central regions, which includes the border states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, and Nuevo León, fell by 3.3 percent. The country has sought emergency water deliveries to alleviate the strain on its water systems....

Family farms have it rough enough, now Trump is making it worse.

Family farms are a beautiful way of life. They work long hours at all times of day. The work is mostly hard work. They deserve the trust and faith of the federal government to deliver wholesome food to those most in need.

Farmers as a community are also already under stress with some suffering from mental health issues. This is the last thing these farmers and their community need.

The farmers should be talking to their federal legislators about this. Just because they are not corporate farms is no reason to abandon them.

Green Bay Zoo needs help with a missing otter.

Evidently two otters were able to escape their enclosure and were missing. One returned, but, the other did not. If there is a chance a young person thinks they are caring for a wild otter, they would be mistaken.

Please return the missing otter to the zoo. His friend misses him.

Reality check

When is a government buy out of its talent not a government buy out?

When it is a Trump political stunt.

Oh, yes. Those employees are no longer working, they were basically laid off with pay until September 30, 2025.

September 30, 2025 is the end of the fiscal year. A new federal budget starts on October 1, 2025.

The money the federal employees are receiving are their BUDGETED SALARIES. They are not receiving a buy out. 

This is a political stunt for Trump to satisfy his ravenous followers expecting him to, like in “The Apprentice,” fire them. This is a hoax.

The way the corporate downsizing of the federal government SHOULD HAVE taken place, was to supply notice to all the EMPLOYEES their jobs would be eliminated at the end of this fiscal year. In doing so, those employees could find new jobs or look to transfer into jobs still existing but vacant.

This so called “firing” is fraud. The employees should be at work supplying valuable services to the people. Social Security lines should not be out the doors with Americans suffering waiting for their rightful help.

Trump is committed fraud and the employees receiving the so called “corporate buy out” should return to their jobs and allow their services to be eliminated PROPERLY by department leaders who are capable of downsizing their departments effectively and efficiently.

The American people should be outraged at the Trump White House for carrying out fraud and attempt to coup their effective government. Any congressional member “playing along to get along” should be looking at a recall election. Now.

This is a joke, right?

Someone needs to press some serious charges against Elon. He is out of control and completely dysfunctional. Seriously. He was interviewed a short time ago on FOX News stating vandalism is not helping Tesla. He doesn’t get it. He doesn’t understand the people are attacking his oligarchy. The cars aren’t the focus of the country’s anger. It is him. 

Look, his actual real world value is not what people think. Space X is not a Wall Street commodity. It is a private company with cash flow compliments of the USA Treasury. If the contracts for space flight and satellite communications stopped the company would go bankrupt in 24 hours. The USA does not need Space X. Space X needs the USA Treasury. Space exploration still goes on as a sovereign authority without Musk.

The guy is an icon futurist. His world is not real. He is not an engineer and couldn’t build a rocket if his life depended on it. Trump posed with a Tesla because it is the only money Musk has other than the USA Treasury. Tesla is floating primarily because of China. DoGE is raiding the USA Treasury for a reason and it has nothing to do with relief for the people. 

Musk needs to be stopped. He replaced Verizon. Who’s next? 

The guy is not stable. Now he is threatening average voters with slavery.

It’s not going to happen over night.

But, wow.

This is interesting. Both Democrats lost by nearly the same margin. That to me is a partisan divide that didn’t exist before. We can work with that. 




Senator Booker is used to being transformative.







(Click here)

It is his style. He transformed Newark. Newark was one of the most corrupt cities in America at one time. Cory Booker said no to the status quo, became involved in government, and walked the streets neighborhood after neighborhood. No one walked the streets in Newark unless a member of a gang and well versed in the martial arts. 

I know what he did. I worked in the hospital on UMDNJ campus. Cory Booker was brave and people who cared about him and his vision worried about him. He was right about the people though. It was possible to raise up
neighborhoods. He went on to do exactly that in the face of decades of corruption mired so deep it created worry for anyone seeking change. He did it. He then went on to lead Newark and then reluctantly became a Senator.

He made this speech as a wake-up call. 




When does the corruption stop?

This is disgusting. We don’t deserve a tax payer sponsored independent institute that seeks solution for peace? 

DoGE came into our secure government and has accomplished nothing but Republican propaganda and citizen hardship. This is outrageous and the state attorney generals where this invasive fraud is taking place needs to lock them up out of the reach of Trump’s pardons and Bondi’s corruption.

Netanyahu has power over Trump

The two leaders view calls of genocide and ethnic cleansing as a threat. 

Trump, in his ridicule of major universities, the latest is Harvard, is substituting anti-semitism for genocide. 

It is possible to demonstrate against a war to save lives without being anti-semitic. There is that line of demarcation, right?

I realize the war with terrorist groups is justified and legitimate. That includes drug gangs as well. But, the war with Hamas changed character as other terrorist groups, like Hezbollah, threatened Israel. Israel has a right to defend itself. 

University students participating in demonstrations against Israel made errors in judgement as to whom they are affiliated with and the dialogue surrounding their activism. Civil disobedience is common when attempting to change the dynamics of war. 

The stark reality that became Gaza’s death toll was nothing anyone wanted. Those that value every human life were very distressed over the deaths, which included women, children, and the elderly. It is only decent to bring about awareness to the tragedy. That must be tolerated in a society valuing precious lives.

There was no anti-semitism when Palestinians are demonstrators attempting to save the lives of their own family. It was right for others to stand with the Palestinians. I defy anyone to have family in dangerous situations to simply blow it off as nothing because they are not mired in the same danger. We don’t do that. We run and gather strength to stand the breach to save our families. So, to say universities were tolerating anti-semitism is grossly inaccurate, but, one has to consider the source.

Israelis both in the USA and abroad have their limits. Heinous number of dead simply insults the senses and moral core. It is a human condition to abhor such killing.

Netanyahu and Trump see themselves as far more wise in looking past the deaths that all others see, to achieve Israel’s national defense of zero tolerance of Palestinians and terrorists. That type of intolerance is unwise and calls alertness to international concerns. There is a line between securing a national defense and genocide and/or ethnic cleansing. I mean Nasrallah is dead. What else is there to achieve? 

(Click here)





















I am quite sure Former Prime Minister Olmert wants Israel absolutely safe. But, he appears to say to continue killing in the face of other Israeli people becoming indifferent to leadership, is a time to assess the battlefield. 

I believe Trump is very wrong headed about his devotion to Netanyahu where it comes to the intolerance of Palestinians in the USA. Picking on universities by labeling them anti-semetic is a gross injustice. Netanyahu is not of any authority in this democracy and Trump is wrong to take Netanyahu’s intolerance to these extremes.

Anti-semitism as practiced in the USA is by White Nationalists. Trump is loyal to White Nationalists and pardoned something like 160 of them for their violence of January 6, 2021. This measure by Trump against some of the greatest universities in the world is completely laughable. Netanyahu should be more selective as to whom he calls a friend.

Alarming. The right wing in any country is on crisis.

The political right wing is in crisis of their own making. This is getting to be very typical. The candidates are law breakers hoping they can turn a democracy in its head through popularism. Then when power is secured they dismiss their crimes as a political attack. It is ridiculous.

These democracies are under attack with its rule of law and judicial process. That is our government and NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. If Le Pence had embezzled in a country dominated by an authoritarian government she would already be in prison. She probably would be listed with the prison guards to kill her at first opportunity no different than Alexei Navalny. Yet she persists in baseless threats against the government.

Amazing.

Le Pen went through Due Process no doubt scamming all the way through attempting to perjure the judge and jury. She was found guilty of embezzlement fairly and without prejudice.

So, this is where we are. Figures seeking power are criminals with very immoral track records believing they can remain above the law. Shame on them.

They are seeking power because without it they are in sincerely major trouble that will remove their freedom and demand payment for breaking with the social contract that demands lawful conduct. 

The political right wing has gone too far into the unthinkable. Le Pen and Trump are beating the same dead horse. They won’t quit while pretending they are a victim. It is outrageous. 

Their criminal minds want to break down our democracies in order to satisfy their self-righteousness. We, the free people, are supposed to appreciate them and allow our lives to fall into disrepair or worse. We are supposed to rally to their side as if suddenly awaken from a deadly slumber.

They have more nerve than brains.

The public needs to realize we are not the problem. LePen and Trump own their own problems. We need to let the judicial system work to incarcerate the people found guilty of corruption. Embezzlement is corruption and is all part of racketeering. 

Every freedom loving citizen should be grateful the law and due process works. Criminals, like LePen will be given plenty of opportunity to reflect on her crimes in prison while judges protect us from further harm.

Alarming. Climate crisis is a concern going forward.

Where USA soldiers and allies are training or even operating, they need to have the USA Army Corps. and USGS assessments.

Condolences to the family, friends, and peers of these magnificent soldiers.

The USGS records are invaluable in understanding what the land HAS looked like when assessments were initially carried out. Those records need to updated to facilitate our military and our allies. 

We are seeing drastic changes in the landscape and any water systems such as lakes and streams in the past decade, but, more so in the past year. 

USGS and the U.S. Army Corps need to be placed in a higher status in carrying out assessments where soldiers are training and/or deployed. The assessments conducted in the past were absolutely accurate for decades if not a century. Today, we are seeing catastrophic changes in the landscape especially where water in the form of rain and snow are being seen in record breaking amounts. 

So, with that is the new reality that no matter the readiness of the troops to be trained or deployed, they may find themselves with
new challenges that can kill these very valuable soldiers.

The Climate Crisis is real. This is still another example of tragedy due to the USA lack of recognition of the warming of Earth.

So sorry to hear this has happened to rather magnificent soldiers.

Hey, New Jersey and Ukraine

The USA Coast Guard has drone catchers. They are passive devises undetectable by radar. How simply great is this? The catapults don’t use fuel and have no missile vapor trail. 

The catapults are far easier and simple to manufacture. Set up a front line with them and release them all at once. It is similar to Roman legions firing off arrows, except, the missiles can be loaded with explosives on contact.

LOL, blatant corruption in Wisconsin.

The real story isn’t the Wisconsin petition turned lottery, it is the lead up to it. People showing up to sign the petition/political lottery were actually paid $100 just to sign it.

Why pay for political advertising? Hold rallies to have petitions signed and hand out Benjamins. If the Democrats want to end corruption they should follow the Musk example. It will get them votes and I guarantee as soon as Democrats are handing out cash, the practice will be judged illegal. Guaranteed. The reason Republicans are getting away with it is because Democrats don’t do it. 

When Democrats are handing out Benjamins MAGA will have to double their payment to voters. Just do it. And keep going. Pay an additional $50 every time MAGA increases their payments. In court ask the judge if he/she wants to sign the petition while handing the judge 100 single dollar bills. It is free publicity. Just do it.
