Trump is so full of hate he can’t even see the fact that his views on birthright citizenship would send some of his administration and his own wife packing. Quite possibly most of his children, too. Trump’s kids are anchor babies.

Rubio is correct in that the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case…
…is about foreign policy. But, in an attempt to redefine the meaning of foreign policy Former Secretary of State Rubio ignores that the individual Garcia was protected by USA foreign policy before Trump violated it. Individual Garcia is also protected by USA immigration policy before Trump violated it.
(Click here)
The statements by Mr. Rubio clearly proves the perverted state of thinking by the Trump Administration. If this is the state of mind of the administration officials there is reason for real concern about the well being of the Executive Branch.
Mr. Rubio forgets USA foreign policy began long before Trump took office, not the day he was inaugurated. We have problems. This administration is ignoring the Constitution and the Rule of Law.
What Mr. Rubio is stating is part of the planned assault against the U.S.A. Judiciary by the Heritage Foundation.
USA foreign policy regarding asylum of people fearing for their lives has long been a part of our immigration system. Asylum of an entire people as in the case of the Venezuelans only speaks to the cruel domestic policies of Venezuela. If Trump and Rubio want to change the circumstances of the law abiding people of Venezuela now in the USA for protections I suggest talks with Maduro should begin. Those talks need to reflect Maduro is holding power through a military coupe and not the free and fair elections of the people of Venezuela.
It is called the truth. I know the truth is uncomfortable of Donald, but, it is deeply entrenched in USA foreign policy. I will remind Mr. Rubio that Donald’s pardon pen doesn’t work at the ICC.
Mr. Rubio and Mr. Trump may want to discuss foreign policy with the USA House Foreign Affairs Committee and the USA Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the USA House Armed Services Committee, and the USA House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, as well as all the parallel USA Senate Committees. I realize Donald and Hegseth want to rid themselves of the military advisory committees, but, given the sad state of this administration I strongly suggest the military advisory boards file a complain through the courts to enforce the will of the American people.
The reason Mr. Trump is receiving strong head winds with the courts is because they are a check and balance against wrongful conduct by other branches of government. It is called the USA Constitution. While the current executive branch wants to dismantle that magnificent document to please and appease the Heritage Foundation, that is illegal.
The Trump Administration in lock step with the Heritage Foundation is committing human rights violations, as is El Salvador and any other country wrongfully holding people that belong within USA borders.
What are they doing to the horses now?
What the Devil are the trainers and owners doing to their mouths? Tying their tongues down?
Cruelty.
They are tying their toughs down for absolutely no reason. If one trainer allows it, they all will. Where is PETA?
There’s no reason for it. Secretariat and War Admiral never ran with the tongues tied.
The outcome of the Derby today was due to extremely muddy conditions of the track. How many shoes were lost today at Churchill Grounds? Horse shoes, that is.
Waltz-Netanyahu Nexis
My take on that partnership was that of prioritizing Israel vs. allowing Israel be victim to incompetence.
Netanyahu won’t allow Israel to be invaded or Israelis be compromised. What does a world leader do when faced with incompetence from its strongest ally?
I think Netanyahu saw a great deal of danger in trusting Waltz. Waltz, as most of Trump’s administration has no experience with the level of responsibility found in the federal government. When Netanyahu realized the peril faced by Israel he made friends with Waltz and probably mentored him. They prioritized Israel and devised a conversation surrounding Israel.
I believe Israel is always prepared for aggression by Iran. Was Waltz an exclusive, new plan with Netanyahu? Most probably not.
But, Netanyahu would prioritize the deportation of Palestinians at American universities and provide Israeli intelligence. The Venezuelan dreamscape was exclusively Trump’s and Putin.
100 Days of the Heritage Foundation
The Trump presidency 2.0 is not about the country, it is about special interests and getting away with racketeering. The first 100 days or the first 365 days or the first four years has absolutely nothing to do with the country, it’s economy, or it’s people. It is about hate and seeing how much corruption can exist within the Rule of Law of the USA.
It would seem hate is a special interest. All this mess Trump calls an administration is a crime network.
Ohio’s Jim Jordan’s greatest loyalty is forcing through legislation that legalizes the crimes being committed.
Trump’s personal animosity is palpable.
I read about the resistance going on in the country. The resistance is vital.
The assault against our greatest universities and law firms is about hate, not change. That is completely obvious. While some universities believe a change in some aspects of the school and/or administration would stop the assault, that is the furthest from the truth. These assaults Trump is your destroy, not change into conservatism. Harvard is already a conservative university. The Trump assault is about hate and/or personal animosity.
Elon Musk has every investigation ended by Trump. Musk was never hated before he and the DoGE dreamscape assaulted openly the infrastructure of the USA called government. None of the investigations were for political purposes or to end Musk enterprises. The investigations were legitimate questions. Trump corruptly ordered them stopped. That FACT can be found m in any assessment of the first 100 days.
How many laws has Trump broken? Ethics?
He levied penalties called tariffs and when businesses reveal the cost to the consumer he calls it a political attack? Poor Donald can’t live with reality. Everything has to be shushed and invisible.
4 percent of the people of the USA believe Project 2025 is the path for the USA, yet Trump’s first 100 days paved it’s way.
Trump believes he is the greatest dictator/king in all of history because he is taking on the U.S.A. Constitution. Rather than being humble to serve under the greatest document of governance ever on Earth, he wants to destroy it. No matter how one thinks about Trump’s 100 is criminal in content while satisfying blatant racism.

From 2023, devastation in less than 60 seconds.
Is this what everyone wants? Sincerely. Americans can't possibly want this.
Man Watches a Tornado Destroy His Neighborhood From His Porch
El Salvador best not use OUR PROTECTED POPULATION as trading objects with Venezuela.
El Salvador opened it's torturous prison to innocent people according to USA standards of law. THEY ARE OURS. We apologize for the illegal activity of the Trump Administration. They are way outside the law and the entire incident should not have happened. These men have families and employers waiting for them. They need to be returned promptly from El Salvador to the USA.
Enough. Stop the humiliation of men that deserve respect!
Some Americans take the issue of death of very viable lives seriously. Others, like Trump believe the life of others are disposable. That is not at all the case in the beliefs of most Americans. These men are not dangerous to us. They were provided a chance of asylum and made their lives count for GOOD. They weren't bad people. We wish they were back on USA soil already.
I am sure there are diplomats from the previous administration that would be happy to work with El Salvador to bring their own people home without any prisoner exchange with Venezuela. I am confident talks between El Salvador and Venezuela are possible. I betcha diplomats from NATO would also be interested in intervening if possible. They need to be asked. The idea of countries with conflicts talking to each other is a good idea. Diplomats from the Free World would love to resolve dilemmas all over the world. They need to be asked from earnest parties.
Food for thought. The companies leaving the USA may be looking for new homes for foreign investment to employ the people there and improve quality of life. I would love for countries like El Salvador to be at the top of such a list. That and countries in Africa. Africa needs sincere investment and not just medical and pharmaceuticals. Africa is missing that important component of growth that provides a country with assets to improve living conditions for it's people. Wall Street needs to think about where in the world there lacks profound investment to change the way the world ends suffering.

The judge’s ruling permanently prohibits the Department of Homeland Security from removing immigrants detained under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act in the Southern District of Texas, which includes Houston. His decision represents a major setback for the Trump administration’s effort to deport suspected members of the Venezuelan gang under the archaic law to a notorious mega prison in El Salvador....

And let's not forget the flood waters.April 30, 2025
By Jeanine Santucci, Thao Nguyen
At least two people are dead in Oklahoma (click here) after being caught in floodwaters as thunderstorms brought destructive winds and heavy rains across parts of that state and Texas, authorities said.
The threat of thunderstorms, flash flooding, and a chance of tornadoes hovered over the south-central part of the country, with some of the greatest risk in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and north Texas, forecasters said. North Texas, southeast Oklahoma, southwest Arkansas, and northwest Louisiana were all at an enhanced risk for tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds on April 30, according to the Storm Prediction Center....
The solid blue line is 2024. The red line is 2025 and it looks like the same trend with a slight increase. The least number of tornadoes is 2013 with only 943 for the entire year. We are nearly there on April 30, 2025 with a total so far of 689.
There are 16 years recorded here not including 2025. Of six years the highest number are only six. 2011 had the highest followed by 2024, 2019, 2010, 2017, and 2023. 2011 was a pivot point to the increase of tornadoes in the USA, it also holds the current record for deaths at 553 Americans.
The dark line in the middle is the average of all those years. So, the six years I mentioned are all above average years. Except for 2011 there was a distinct increase 2016.
Sometimes there is something called a rolling average in scientific statistics. This is from Wikipedia (click here). The trend of increased number of tornadoes began in 1990 when the numbers crossed 1000 with reliable frequency.
The year on the Wiki chart most interesting to me is 2005. There was a significantly lower number of tornadoes from 2004. 2005 saw three major Category 5 hurricanes with Katrina carrying the most deaths at 1,392. See, these storms, including tornadoes, is sort of like a heat budget. They all distribute Earth's heat to maintain a habitable troposphere.
...Of the 7 major hurricanes (in 2005), (click here) an unprecendented 3 reached category 5 status, with a 4th reaching the greatest possible windspeed within category 4 of the Saffir-Simpson scale....The upward trends only indicate we have a climate crisis that is killing people.
In recent weeks, (click here) top stories have featured violent weather with tornadoes, damaging winds, large hail and flooding that injured people and infrastructures, and even caused fatalities.
How do these values compare to the average? Are we seeing more tornadoes than we used to or is this just par for the course at this time of the year? If it seems like 2025 has experienced more tornadoes through the first third of the year than normal, the data backs this up. From Jan. 1 through April 30, 2025, the Storm Prediction Center has received 689 tornado reports...

Severe Storms That Slammed Central US Leave At Least 3 Dead In Pennsylvania (click here)
Severe storms that stretched from Texas to New York on Tuesday have left at least three people dead in Pennsylvania.
Pittsburgh Public Safety announced that a man was electrocuted by live wires in the South Side Slopes area of the city, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. In a news conference on Wednesday, Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey extended condolences to the victim's family and held a moment of silence.
In State College, police said a 22-year-old man was electrocuted while trying to put out a mulch fire started by downed power lines. Just outside Pittsburgh in Ross Township, a 67-year-old man was killed by a fallen tree, the Associated Press reported.
The storms caused widespread damage across the Pittsburgh area, with the city’s 911 system experiencing a temporary outage. Allegheny County reported more than 5,000 calls per hour to its regional 911 centers as the storms brought down trees and power lines. The Pittsburgh Public Safety Department said the 911 system was fully restored by early Wednesday....
