Energy emergency is all bogus.

The legislated monies are guaranteed to the alternative energy sector of the USA. Those monies were legislated beginning with the Obama Administration after the Great Recession and additional appropriations on a continuing basis. 

These monies do not belong to Trump’s cronies for whatever pie in the sky idea they have this week. By depriving the alternative energy sector of our economy Trump is creating his own emergency. It is political corruption as well as endangerment of life both within the borders of the USA and out. 

President Obama promised at his first inauguration speech to be a President for all Americans. In his first budget bill after the Great Recession he made room for the fossil fuel industry. Natural Gas would see a place in the USA energy sector with a clear understanding all methane leaks would be contained. 

I don’t really care to hear how the fossil fuel industry is injured when in fact they have injured generations of Americans and allies to a stable and livable Earth’s troposphere. In realizing the extent these programs are under attack it appears racism is dominating Trump’s preferences for energy as well. Many of the alternative energy programs and electric grid improvements began under a minority president. 

On one hand Trump wants to replace jobs for citizens with computers. People don’t need electricity to work on the job. Computers require enormous amounts of energy, especially crypto currency.  It is well known if Americans are becoming more and more dependent on computers the demand for electricity is high. That demand has to be satisfied by all forms of energy, especially wind and solar. 

Trump and his cronies will not accept the fact Earth’s troposphere is heating because of anthropogenic pollution from fossil fuels. That is more than unfortunate, it is very dangerous.

Personal Sovereignty

Rarely do Americans think of personal sovereignty. It surrounds our lives everyday. The Rule of Law operates within the BOUNDARIES of personal sovereignty. It is most often realized in laws that protect Americans’ safety, in lawsuits where bodily injury occurs, trespassing laws of personally owned property, and Americans practice personal sovereignty when they treat their bodies reverently with good health practices as simple as using a personal toothbrush.

The rights enshrined in the First Amendment exhibit personal sovereignty as guaranteed by the USA Constitution. The one impingement of personal sovereignty is with Freedom of Religion.

Imagine a bubble around you called The First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. That bubble allows for personal worship of religion. What that bubble does not provide for is forced acceptance of any religion or religious practices. That hacking away of personal sovereignty has been a priority of Republicans as they demand forced acceptance of an unwanted pregnancy or a fetus struggling that creates danger and quite possibly life threatening danger to a woman’s life.

That bubble is chronically under attack by this administration and Congress. That is why Americans are upset and getting more upset. Their personal sovereignty is under attack. Americans need to recognize those uncomfortable feelings for what they are and ACT on them to remove what is basically bad governance by the elites in power. 

Americans must identify those causing such alarm and the value systems that attack us. Then. They have to be eliminated with elections and lawsuits and criminal charges.

Ethics are paramount to healthy personal sovereignty. The ethics need enforcement and recognition, too.

Political Corruption…

…is carried out by criminals called racketeers. What is everyone waiting for.

THE USA CONSTITUTION die not tolerate criminals in seats of power. End it!

Expose them, call them what they are, and run on it. Bring Americans reality, not propaganda. Every state has oppositional candidates able to break through the rhetorical propaganda.

What’s the problem? 

I thought this was the reality generations. Millennials should be masters of their universe, not passive observers. Come on guys, get with it. Bring down the corrupt and corruption.

End the propaganda. 

Greg Abbot has sat in his Texas Governor…

…wheelchair far too long. He has broken federal law over and over. Then he complains when he is exposed. He needs to be replaced with someone interested in lawful behavior that wants safety for all Texans. The state is far too rough cut to tolerate in the year 2025. 

You mean to tell me artificial intelligence can’t improve gun safety for children in schools? 

Oh. 

I see.

Or is it that great safety from gun violence would be a profound disadvantage for profiteers of the gun stockbrokers? 

Every Governor in the USA…

…has the power of declaring an emergency. This would be especially true when a presidential order is illegal. The Governors are obligated to protect their citizens and should explore the rational for their own emergency declarations with their state Attorney General in regard to existing and long established principles, including limiting the movements of ICE in garb to mask their identity. Not every arrest or raid is legit under existing law.

This hostility against The Clean Air Act is not backed by any proven change in the decades of attempting to institute Clean Coal Technology. President Obama tried everything to perfect coal’s use and every attempt, including a model plant, failed. The Coal Industry has been beating this dead horse far too long. If the coal industry wants to make money, make diamonds with clean energy. Diamonds are more valuable than any burning ember. 

An illegal order is an illegal order and should be met with demands to prove otherwise.

Trump’s signature is worthless when faced with factual documentation to prove he is not only breaking the law, but, enacting political corruption to back cronies. Such demands for proof can bring about the strength of states RICO statutes. 

The strength of the USA Constitution exists to expose the lawbreakers that may include federal House and Senate members.

“The Clean Air Act”

The Trump Administration is in violation of the law. He needs to be removed from office along with his cabinet. They are a clear and present danger to every American alive today no matter what country they are living in. 

The role of the president is to protect lives anbd not destroy them. He is far outside the role and oath of office. His emergency declarations are political corruption without documents to validate their basis. Emergency declarations within the power of the presidency is to protect lives not destroy them. Trump and his administration is far outside that definition and have no valid reasons for any declared emergency.

These are illegal presidential orders.

It is called, “Acid Rain.”

There is nothing artificial intelligence can do to stop it in unregulated coal plants. What acid rain does to tree leaves it does to human lungs. These plants will shorten people’s longevity.

Trump is so out of step with reality it is extremely dangerous. These plants are regulated and replaced for a reason. Solid scientific reasons are closing these disastrous energy plants. Their pollution goes into moving air masses changing climate as well as health. These air masses moving around the planet creating issues for every other country in the world. 

There are excellent replacements. This is political corruption and nothing short of it. The plants should be bombed into oblivion.

There is a different approach to interpreting the USA Constitution as a living document rather than parchment and words.

The terms "strict constructionist" is always on the lips of the six Neanderthals' of the Supreme Court. Welcome, instead to "loose constructionism." It protects the interests of the individual which is the focus the founding fathers as they moved into the Revolutionary War.

Strict Constructionism is an afront to the founding fathers principles in leaving behind a king. Loose constructionism is the real world.

Loose constructionism (click here) is a legal and political philosophy that advocates for a broad interpretation of the U.S. Constitution, allowing for flexibility and adaptability to changing social and political contexts. This approach emphasizes the "living document" nature of the Constitution, suggesting it should be interpreted in light of current circumstances, not just the original intent of the framers. Loose constructionists believe the federal government has powers beyond those explicitly listed in the Constitution, especially when those powers are deemed necessary and proper for the nation's well-being.

Rucho vs, Common Cause

This is the decision that turned gerrymandering loose. This is what the court said that provided the spring board to call everything that comes before the Supreme Court politics. Of course, politics is the game that everyone in the USA plays, so why make sincere legal decisions when it is a game. So what if only the wealthy get what is needed. 

Rucho v. Common Cause, No. 18-422, 588 U.S. 684 (2019) is a landmark case of the United States Supreme Court concerning partisan gerrymandering. The Court ruled that while partisan gerrymandering may be "incompatible with democratic principles", the federal courts cannot review such allegations, as they present nonjusticiable political questions outside the jurisdiction of these courts.

...while partisan gerrymandering may be "incompatible with democratic principles"...

...while partisan gerrymandering may be "incompatible with democratic principles"...

...while partisan gerrymandering may be "incompatible with democratic principles"...

...while partisan gerrymandering may be "incompatible with democratic principles"...

In 2016, (click here) Common Cause filed a lawsuit in response to congressional districts drawn by the North Carolina legislature, calling the map a partisan gerrymander that violated the U.S. Constitution.

Partisan gerrymandering, or the act of creating electoral districts that favor one party over another, silences voters and robs them of the ability to elect the candidates of their choice.

Although the U.S. Supreme Court ultimately ruled in 2019 that partisan gerrymanders cannot be challenged in federal court, Common Cause’s extensive work using the case to educate the public resulted in unprecedented nationwide attention on the need for redistricting reform.

In the wake of the decision, Common Cause is turning its attention to winning reforms in the states.

Trump is valued at $5.1 billion.

A New York appeals court said Trump’s civil liability for crimes he committed against others is too high at half a trillion US. The actual judgement is in the neighborhood of $350 million, but, because demands to finance it rather than pay it, the interest has increased that liability to over a half a billion U.S.

So, here again appears the racketeering and it worked with this court. He CHOOSE to finance the liability and not pay it. He knows full well he is using the Eighth Amendment of the USA to blind side an appeals court and the majority fell for it.

The actual cost of the liability is ONLY $350 million, not 30 percent more in interest rates. Trump is worth PLENTY and could pay the liability and go about life as usual ESPECIALLY considering he now lives in PUBLIC HOUSING with an enormous expense account, including OCO (Overseas Contingency Operations) funds.

Now, who is kidding who when it comes to the PROTECTION of the VICTIMS of Trump crimes? Even Trump’s legal costs are paid for by the people of the USA and other political allies and NOT his own funds. 

So, does the 8th Amendment to the USA constitution apply to a man valued at $5.1 billion?

HELL NO!

Where are the payments to victims AND that of the expenses of “the people” in his prosecution? 

What were Republicans thinking,

What are they thinking to move our democracy so very far right?

(Click here)

If one goes by Chuck Grassley, it seems as though even a string constitutionalist is brainwashed into the ideology Trump is determined to carry out.

Basically, Republicans are waiting for their oligarchies to be delivered. Americans are upset and getting more so as Trump is dismantling a long standing and strong democracy.

These effected Americans are from all political leanings, but, primarily Middle Class. Well, I tell you this, there are two classes within a communist country; the elite/ruling class and the abject poor. Now. Where does anyone think this democracy is heading given the fact the Republicans are attempting to rig the election of 2026? 

See, Trump has plans for his kingship. Literally, he is working for himself while using the power of the USA government. Our democracy is providing him the power to kill it, run the Middle Class into oblivion and rule by force as King. When I heard Grassley state someone was insulting Trump and therefore undesirable, it screamed brainwashing. I am serious.

How can any elected official to any government office simply turn their back on the people that elected him or her WHILE plotting against those very people? That is ruthlessness with an understanding there is a payoff to them personally.

That paradigm is racketeering and Trump has plotted against the people of this country since his first term. Racketeering was glamorized by the right wing press and a savior of the people was born. 

Trump does not want to leave the presidency. That is a fact. He is creating a King-dum everyday. He is making decisions and forcing loopholes to work for him in favor of his King-dum. He has a kingly aircraft as a gift from Arabia that CONGRESS has agreed to make Air Force One and PAY FOR IT as they tack on $4 Trillion in our national debt.

What does Trump’s King-dum look like? The all powerful Trump will use the power established by our democratic principles and Constitution to CREATE a group of countries, once at war, now growing in numbers to worship Trump. His peacemaking is possible because of the USA economy. Yet, he will cast the Middle Class into poverty to live high and mighty. The ALL POWERFUL Trump.

Well, Putin is giving him a taste of Russian medicine when he bombed a USA electronics factory in Ukraine. 

This is it. It is the American people vs. the Trump Oligarchy. What side are you on? 

(Click here)

NATO…

…may consider speaking to all the countries Trump has and is talking with as he builds an independent alliance. NATO may strengthen Trump’s burgeoning alliance by offering membership and trade relations.

There is a reason why weapon purchases from the USA is being offered. It makes each country stronger and able to stand on its own in a conventional war. Alliances are always a good idea, except, when it is Trump building his own.

This is a hopeful step forward, but,...

...there is another agenda behind this. The return of the Yanukovych regime. Better said, elections within Ukraine that will result in the return of corruption and a Russian regime as before the deaths at the Euromaidan or Maidan Uprising of November 21, 2013.

There are two consistent statements made about Ukraine within the Putin paradigm.

Trump, "How can there be this length of time without elections? You mean to tell me if I declare war there will be no elections in the USA?"

Putin, (paraphrase) "The devil is in the details." Basically, every time there is a ceasefire mentioned Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov states all the details need to be worked out before any consent for a ceasefire can occur. 

I know nothing more the entire Free World seeks than a global understanding that war is a fools errand. It creates more problems than it ever solves and in the Middle East it creates martyr brigades that pledge their lives for revenge. But, as to Ukraine, who would not want in their hearts of hearts an end to the carnage and disruption of global peace? The reason Ukraine disarmed in the first place was to end any chance of assault from powers on both of the governance divide. It wanted peace and prosperity that included trade with both sides. For that Ukraine received an occupation of Crimea and an invasion into Donbas and Russian support for rebels nurtured by communism.

Russian leader Vladimir Putin (click here) agreed at his summit with President Donald Trump that the United States and its European allies could offer Ukraine a security guarantee resembling NATO’s collective defense mandate as part of an eventual deal to end the war, a U.S. official said Sunday.

Trump envoy Steve Witkoff, who took part in the talks Friday at a military base in Alaska, said it “was the first time we had ever heard the Russians agree to that” and called it “game-changing.”

“We were able to win the following concession: that the United States could offer Article 5-like protection, which is one of the real reasons why Ukraine wants to be in NATO,” Witkoff told CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Witkoff offered few details on how such an arrangement would work. But it appeared to be a major shift for Putin and could serve as a workaround to his deep-seated objection to Ukraine’s potential NATO membership, a step that Kyiv has long sought....

Putin doesn't have a choice but to seek such an agreement. Russia never stays true to it's agreements or treaties. There is a long history, especially with Ukraine, to that statement. I believe Putin needs to go forward with a peace agreement and not simply a strategic ceasefire. But, there also needs to be a great deal of detail that spells out clearly the country of Ukraine, the people of Ukraine can move against another regime like Yanukovych without any more deaths or threats to it's democracy. The details have to spell out clearly that Ukraine can not only have Article 5 protections, but, is guaranteed that Russia is getting out of Ukrainian business by allowing application to the EU and NATO (as all the other Post Soviet states) as well as a productive economic guarantee with Russia. Ukraine wanted to trade with Russia. Ukraine wanted to trade prosperity with Russia, not bullets and missiles. Ukraine was officially a neutral nation when Putin changed his mind about any and all agreements and treaties.

No more Russian corruption of elections, politics, or economic forums.

Freedom is freedom and not some sort of distorted elitist governance.

Oops. The leadership at the highest levels of USA government are rank amateurs.

The Alaskan summit was wrongly named. Is was not a summit, it was a meeting without structure to achieve a goal. It was a far lower level meeting attended by Putin and Trump. Nothing significant was going to come of it. 

I might add, this is the level of which Putin is used to in dealing with communists in his alliance. There is little detail when these meetings occur. Putin is more than happy to have men in leadership that don't have a clue about the best outcomes for the people, so much as dangling elitist priorities to ensure there is compliance with his directives. 

Trump fits the desirable Putin profile. He is an amateur and seeks to remove those from within the USA government that outranks him in knowledge of "how the world works." This is all part of the Putin paradigm he seeks.

...During the summit Friday, (click here) lunch was apparently cancelled. But it was intended to be a simple, three-course meal, the documents showed. After a green salad, the world leaders would dine on filet mignon and halibut olympia. Crème brûlée would be served for dessert.

Jon Michaels, a professor of law at UCLA who lectures about national security, said that the documents found in the printer of the Alaskan hotel reveal a lapse in professional judgment in preparation for a high-stakes meeting.

"It strikes me as further evidence of the sloppiness and the incompetence of the administration," said Michaels. "You just don't leave things in printers. It's that simple."

The printed papers are the latest example of a series of security breaches by officials of the Trump administration. Earlier this week, members of a law enforcement group chat that included members of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) added a random person to a conversation about an ongoing search for a convicted attempted murderer. In March, U.S. national security leaders accidentally included a journalist in a group chat about impending military strikes in Yemen.

Retired General Stanley McCrystal is calling Americans home.

I found this interaction between General McCrystal and John Stewart interesting (click here).

Maybe from a political perspective it was an error to say God did not create the USA, but, that isn't what all the documents Republican rely on to make those statements. The money of the USA states, "In God We Trust." The USA does not appear in the Bible, except perhaps Trump's edition of unreality. But, in fact this country was founded by colonist across the Atlantic Ocean that managed to survive incredible odds to arrive here. Actually, that is not accurate. The beginning of the USA didn't occur until centuries after the Mayflower landed and Jamestown was built. 

Washington Crossing the Delaware (click here)

The United States of America grew out of abuses of power from the former Kings and Queens of England. France was always our ally through history and certainly helped win the Revolutionary War. So, when Retired General McCrystal states, "God did not create the USA," he may be politically incorrect, but, factually he is spot on. Human beings that colonized this country fought against incredible odds and in harm climate to win the land that started of the USA out of 13 original colonies. They may or may not have had strong faith in God to see them through their battles for freedom, but, God did not create the USA out of nothing as he did in the Bible of Eden.

President Zelenskyy should recognize…

…the movements of National Guard in the USA. I know Vladimir Putin does.

The Yanukovych regime had that same militia structure only it was the oligarchs in charge. They were put in place as Yanukovych disbanded and disarmed the federal military of Ukraine.

These National Guard deployments are bending a knee to Putin. The USA under the Trump/Hegseth regime may actually be an unreliable freedom partner.

...“When I look at the situation and the facts, ((click here) I don’t see President Putin very willing to get peace now,” Macron told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker in an exclusive interview Monday after a high-stakes White House meeting. “But perhaps I’m too pessimistic.”

He also said “the optimism of your president is to be taken seriously. So if he considers he can get a deal done, this is great news, and we have to do whatever we can to have a great deal.”

Macron insisted that the United States must apply pressure to Russia and Putin to find a resolution, including introducing more sanctions.

If there is no progress in the bilateral meeting President Donald Trump announced between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and if a trilateral meeting falls through, “or if the Russians don’t comply with this approach, yes, we have to increase the sanctions, secondary and primary sanctions,” Macron said.

“There is an aggressor, which is Russia. There is a country which decided to kill people, stole children and who refused a ceasefire and peace, so we cannot just create an equivalent situation between Ukraine and Russia.”...

The DC iconic area guarded currently…

…by the National Guard from armed vandals and marauding children normally have their own security guards. Did Trump remove that personnel? 

National Guard

They are there to support the emergency and enforcing immigration. Outside of that capacity they are breaking the law. My understanding is they are hanging out at iconic areas of DC. That is for propaganda purposes. Why not station them where it looks as though they are in control? 

As someone I know said, “It is a shit show.”

Trump is putting on quite a show, isn’t he?

Where is Putin? That is the missing partner. I thought perhaps Vladimir was tiring of the old paradigm. Doesn’t look like it. 

Russia is not interested in peace. Poland has been scrambling jets to its eastern board for at least the last couple of weeks. Interesting now Sweden is also alarmed and following Poland. That is not a country interested in peace. Russian artillery is limited to missiles and drones. Putin is willing to use Trump’s dislike for war as a means to find an advantage to his end. 

The concern for Trump’s sudden reversal in having a NATO like defense for Ukraine is that he doesn’t really mean it. It would be advantageous for Putin to have an ally within the borders of Ukraine to create an illusion of security only to have it dissolve when Hegseth decides there is no reason for Ukraine security forces because there are pressing issues elsewhere. 

NATO would be trustworthy, Trump alone would not. A different USA president would never side with Putin at all. The attempt at a ceasefire isn’t holding strong at all. I guess the Zelenskyy-Putin meeting is still on, but, Vladimir wasn’t expecting NATO to show up in support if Ukraine. Putin liked the idea is Trump’s Star Chamber of three, but, no more. 

Zelenskyy was to be the bad guy willing to allow more death. I think this is just Trump weaseling out of support for Ukraine. He is creating an excuse.
