D. A. Willis is doing a fantastic job

I have never seen personal attacks on a prosecutor like Trump carries out against those involved with the Georgia case.

Trump is guilty. Period. Full stop. The evidence is overwhelming. 

If D. A. Willis has full confidence in Nathan Wade then there is no other question necessary. 

If D.A. Willis and Nathan Wade found comfort and/or pleasure in each other’s company for a period time that is the end of the discussion. They are allowed to seek social connections where they find them. 

Nathan Wade is perfectly capable of prosecution of an obvious case of guilt by Trump. He was judged on his ability and not his personal experience with the D.A.. I applaud D.A. Willis for being brave enough to have a supportive relationship with a colleague at a time when both found comfort in the relationship. 

To insinuate a defendant can bring about a private investigation of a prosecutor to destroy their reputation in order to have a case dismissed in the face of obvious guilt is an outrage. This tactic by Trump’s lawyers should add to the brevity of the charges filed against their client. Such a tactic is highly unethical and should be on review by the Georgia Bar of the Trump lawyers.

Let me be clear.

The type of corruption, racketeering and gas lighting, practiced by Donald John Trump is exactly the type of corruption The West has stood against in the duration of freedom and democracy.

Late Attorneys General Robert F. Kennedy insisted on confronting any and all corruption in all its forms during his time in office. Corruption has been a longtime pursuit of the USA and its allies. The European Union insisted Ukraine address the problems of corruption before it was admitted to its coalition of economic interests.

Racketeering by Trump is completely obvious. Sure these dynamics can be broken down into innocent occurring and separate activities by many other interests. The overriding outcome of these activities benefitting Donald John Trust is all too clear.

Vladimir Putin just oversaw the death of his most voracious political opponent, Alexie Navalny. That is the same dynamic Trump has claimed he longs for in his presidential powers. He admires Viktor Orban for his stranglehold of Hungry. 

There is nothing innocent about racketeering and gas lighting lends itself beautifully to propaganda promulgated by the Trump’s RNC. Russia has an enormous propaganda machine as does China including the infiltration of the USA with tools such as TikTok.

The problem with TikTok is more than obvious, propaganda that attacks freedom and democracy.

TikTok is owned by a  corporation with Americans on its Board of Directors. The corporation has its main offices in China. The Americans provide a convenient springboard from China into the enormous and lucrative economic markets of the USA. This alone is not egregious, however, other activities by China including spy satellites and listening posts on dock cranes are all intentions that are hostile and aggressive. These activities are to gather intelligence about the sovereignty of the USA to find and/or develop weaknesses to exploit to advance China’s superior status globally, hence advancing communism.

Racketeering is not a minor issue. Donald John Trump not only carried out corruption on a rare occasion, he used it as a method of hostile outcomes for at least two corporations in the USA extending over a year of time. Those hostile acts carried out by Trump’s power venues caused reactions by these corporations to enrich himself and/or his campaign, including the RNC which is now corruptly lead by his family.

There needs to be more investigations regarding Trump and the corruption he breeds in the USA. Donald John Trump is not a great president or past businessman. His declared wealth that impress his followers and is completely false as discovered in the legal proceedings in New York to mention only one front of his corrupt activities.

The world is watching. It is time the American people start to state their disgust with the way Trump conducts corruption with ease.

Cassidy Hutchinson was nothing to fear.

Her testimony is truthful. She heard what she heard. She testified what she heard. If there are agents willing to dispute her recollection only raises the issue of fearing for his job. There are more questions than not with someone disputing an honest, truthful testimony. 

Trump is harassing and intimidating major USA corporations.

This is highly illegal. He and his campaign are profiting from this harassment. FOX media is promoting this racketeering. 

This is the racketeering method that the current House Speaker was elected. This is the current racketeering method of which the U.S. House is obstructing any and all bill passage regarding Israel, Ukraine and the USA southern border. This is the method the Republicans are and will use to abuse power and snare the USA to submit national security to communist control. It is called surrender.

Victor Orban’s authoritarianism is a failure of democracy.

Benjamin Franklin, “(the constitution) is a republic if you can keep it.”

Hungarians gave up their democracy. They weren’t mature enough to recognize the dangers. Democracy is not perfect. Freedom is exactly that. In order to have freedom it requires life skills and social insight. When voters in a democracy relinquish their power to an authoritarian it is a surrender that they can’t discern their own fate. Oppressed peoples don’t have choices. Their freedoms are surrendered. A democracy can slip away from citizens. 

Freedom of speech is the backbone of any democracy. When freedom of speech is put into a commercialized can for profit, that is power. Citizens in a democracy have to discern commercialized speech from serious speech. 

In the sixties there was a movement, primarily in the woman’s movement, that cognitively recognized the power of commercialized speech. Women were living an imagine of themselves and not being themselves. Burning the bra was a clear expression of that movement. Women wanted to be more than sexual objects. Within that same movement were “the kids.”

Women took an adult responsibility to protect the children from growing up as an extension of Wall Street. They were concerned for their husbands as well. For the first time in modern history women were expressing their freedom of speech for the purpose of being human and having the right for self-determined futures. It was a magnificent movement for the country and provided new dynamics within a family. Women were now true partners to their husbands. Economic partners. Social partners. Political partners. The marriage was magnificently dynamic and men found relief within that dynamic and welcomed the care giving of his children.

What does this have to do with Victor Orban? Everything!

Currently there is an insurrectionist leading a major political party that promises an authoritarian government from “ Day One.” That candidate is a result of commercialized canned speech under the guise of the truth. It is a completely deceptive candidacy that has refused to participate in the processes of democracy such as debates. This candidate is an authoritarian within a major political party. No choice, not even from a resigned House Speaker.

How great would it be for Wall Street to dictate its certainty to profit? What Wall Street doesn’t realize is that power over the people will not result in a population of citizens with the power of earning and choice. No more unions to rock the boat ensuring the strength of the Middle Class. No more strength in local governments.

The American people are far too comfortable with an authoritarian leading a major political party. Those people are sheep heading for a cliff and more than willing to go over it, if they haven’t already.

Democracy is hard work. The American people understand hard work. They need to participate in their democracy and refuse the canned language that is defined as nothing short of lazy.

Language is power. Knowledge no longer is the respected power of the people. Americans cannot afford to be lazy, all the ground they claimed under the current president will be lost if they surrender their democracy to an authoritarian party.

Authoritarianism is Anti-American.

Thanks, Joe.

For Making America Great Again!

Four More Years!

President Biden knew he would be running against Trump again.

It is my sincerest opinion that the Robert’s court talks out of both sides of their mouth. 

Let’s say the unanimous majority is correct that the (federal) US Congress must pass legislation to remove Trump’s assault on the U.S.A. Constitution through the election process. If that is the case, then how did the Robert’s Court assail “ The Voting Rights Act, federal legislation that protects the rights of every American? Answer me that.

The Robert’s court does as it pleases to satisfy their politics.

Stare decisis has no definition in the Robert’s court; ie: The Voting Rights Act and Roe v. Wade are only two instances where the conservative majority of that court stepped over the line! Politics is not supposed to exist in the decision making of the Supreme Court. 

Germany doesn’t have to explain anything.

Russian officer Margarita Simonyan is accusing Germany of plans to strike Crimea. She admits at the very same time “am unable to say for certain” if any of the voices were tampered with before publication. 

It is still yet more Russian propaganda to justify killing innocent people.

End of discussion.

Wild temperatures

The wide swing in temperatures being experienced is due to seasonal changes. This is an abrupt closing climate crisis. It is a heat transfer system that is further homogenizing the temperatures of the planet. It is not a good thing. 

This is the climate crisis the world was warned about for decades if not a century. Stop abusing Earth with emissions of all greenhouse gases.

Currently in Traverse City, Michigan, USA outside temperatures 35 degrees Fahrenheit. Winds are 13 mph southeast (out of the northwest) and increasing. Road surfaces are wet from rain, but, metal surfaces are iced over from being pummeled by ice from the sky. Basically, it is an ice storm that melts when reaching warm ground. Temperatures are expected to continue to fall to a low of 21 degrees Fahrenheit. Unknown whether to expect he ground to freeze over. End.

Funeral agencies…

 …in Russia were told not to cooperate in regard to Alexei Navalny’s funeral. 

Either the Russian communists stop violating the Rule of Law or they allow his body to be transported to his wife and children. 

Another George Wallace

Greg Abbott is another populist governor that violates federal law because he wants to stay in power. He is traveling the same path as George Wallace, only it was segregation at that time. It is the same “States Rights” baloney all over again.

File lawsuits against transportation companies.

The immigrants from the southern border are going to freeze to death in the northern cities. It is a human rights issue. Cities in the northern USA cannot continue to receive migrants shipped to them from Texas. The funding has run out and there is now less housing to protect them from outdoor temperatures.

Abbott is in violation of federal law, 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(ii).

The cities need to sue the transportation companies and possibly arrest bus drivers. Texas needs to be sued as well as it is committing human rights violations.

He is going home.

 

This is the way I remember him. This is the way I will always remember him. Strong, unafraid, and focused with love for his country and all its people. 

Wrongful death

This is called “a treatment for infertility.” How many more medical treatments will become death row sentences? This is the future of genetic medicine at the very least.

This resulted out of the political power of wealthy Evangelicals. Amy Coney Barrett refused to answer Senator Blumenthal about this issue while calling up judicial wisdom as the ultimate “decider.”

Malignant melanoma treatment includes a successful genetic treatment that had received millions, if not billions of dollars in research for decades (click here). What is happening to quality of life in the USA due to an extremist decision by an extremist judge in Alabama? Besides hurting potential parents, the Alabama economy is being reduced with this decision. IVF anything is shutting down in Alabama, including embryo transport services. As of this decision the embryos in Alabama are logistically frozen. Potential parents can no longer take their embryos with them if they move out of state. There are no services to provide that transportation.

The economic return of investment companies that backed genetic research, including IVF, is now ending in Alabama. When does the damage by extremist Republicans stop? They are attacking not only democracy, but, also the free market system and American quality of life. Who is seeking an autocracy with alliances to communism? Political money and the Citizen United decision is destroying the USA one judicial decision at a time. Now, Alabama citizens seeking to become parents no longer can have the option of a pregnancy with their own genetically familial sons and daughters.

The political system in the USA is out of control and aligned to ideology out to destroy freedom and the “safety of ideas.”

As the GOP begs for forgiveness…

…from an extremist Alabama judge that has no concept of separation of church and state; the country needs to realize one thing. Only one thing.

MAGA Republicans are allied to Russia and lead in ideology and greed by Vladimir Putin. Those legislators openly in loyalty to Putin and communism should never had been elected in the first place! Trump included.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

I looked at the plan the Prime Minister presented to revitalize Gaza. I think it a strong plan that ultimately the Palestinians have to recognize as their best future. They have to focus on the quality of life for their children, value the education they will receive that will result in a secure and peaceful Gaza.

Israel will never demand anyone to turn away from a peaceful and benevolent God no matter the religion practiced. Israel wants peace and not a forever war based in ideology. Iran needs to practice tolerance of others and stop terrorist affiliations.

Terrorist organizations must be rejected as a means for aggression and hate between sovereign countries. Hamas used the Palestinian people as human shields while they plotted to kill Israel’s citizens. There is no room in the world for hatred of any kind. The world of people have much bigger problems, namely a climate crisis that kills everyday.

I am looking forward to Israel’s implementation of the plans for Gaza which means the complete dissolution of Hamas and other terrorist organizations that never had and still do not have respect for human life. They rage against others based in religious bigotry. All that must stop and peace the only goal religions should be seeking.

Russia is not following their own Rule of Law.

Mrs. Navalnaya is no different than any other relative of a deceased person, she wants to bury her son with dignity and any religious right she feels necessary to bless his soul to God.

In the United States of America even those who die on "death row" are released to their families for burial. This is not respectful of a woman now 69 years old and having to bury her son for being a decent and honorable man. The government of Russia is paranoid about the re-re-re-election of Vladimir Putin. It is time to let this anger end and provide the family with Alexie's body for proper treatment at the time of death. What is occurring is not even legal according to Russian law.

...Lyudmila Navalnaya, (click here) Mr. Navalny’s mother, said she had been “secretly” taken to a morgue Wednesday night, “where they showed me Aleksei.” She was shown a medical report on Mr. Navalny’s death that said he died of natural causes, according to the Navalny team’s spokeswoman, Kira Yarmysh....

If there is any solace to the family at all, the world is watching. Many in countries that might consider themselves friendly and even allied to Russia do not believe the level of corruption that accompanies Alexei Navalny and now his death. This is all corruption and illegal. The man is dead, what possibly can Russia fear from their own citizen and a mother of a man that died unjustly in a prison?

Let the family have time with him to properly mourn him and put his soul to rest. This secrecy by official Russian authorities is alarming to say the least. I believe the spouse, Yulia Navalnaya, currently lives in the UK. The body and his relatives should be remanded to the British government for his entombment. There needs to be an end to the corruption following this man's life and a proper burial of his body for his wife, mother, children and other relatives, friends and those that supported him. It is time for Putin to allow this to take place so it is over before his election and all is behind him.

Mr. Morris Tidball-Binz (click here) was appointed the UN Special Rapporteur on extra-judicial summary or arbitrary executions, on 1 April 2021. Mr. Morris Tidball-Binz (Viña del Mar, Chile, 1957) is a medical doctor specialized in forensic science, human rights and humanitarian action. Over the past 35 years, he has conducted fact-finding, technical assessments and capacity building missions to over 70 countries in all regions.

Perhaps Mr. Tidball-Binz could provide historical handling of the deaths of political prisoners to provide guidance to such events.

Arrest Greg Abbott

He is repeatedly violating a Supreme Court decision.

January 23, 2024
By William Melhado

The U.S. Supreme Court (click here) on Monday ordered Texas to allow federal border agents access to the state’s border with Mexico, where Texas officials have deployed miles of concertina wire.

The order did not explain justices’ decisions. For now, it effectively upholds longstanding court rulings that the Constitution gives the federal government sole responsibility for border security.

In October of last year, Texas sued the federal government after Border Patrol agents cut some of the wire strung along the Rio Grande, arguing the Department of Homeland Security destroyed the state’s property and interfered in Texas’ border security efforts.

The 5-4 order from the Supreme Court vacated a previous injunction from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that prevented Border Patrol agents from cutting the concertina wire....

Some Republican governors, such as Missouri and New Hampshire, are backing up the illegal activity in Texas by sending National Guard troops.

National guard troops can be called up to serve by state governors, I don't believe it is within their capacity to deploy the troops to other areas of the country or the world. That capacity to deploy National Guard troops is a federal authority.

Texas is building a new military base for National Guard (click here) members deployed to the southern border in Eagle Pass, Texas -- where state and federal authorities have been in a tense conflict over dealing with immigration -- Gov. Greg Abbott said.

At a news conference on Friday, Abbott announced the construction of what he said would a new "base camp" that could house up to 2,300 soldiers.

"As opposed to being scattered around many different places across this region, they will be operating out of one place. It will amass a large army in a very strategic area. It will increase the speed and flexibility of the Texas National Guard to be able to respond to crossings," Abbott said.

Officials expect that by mid-April they'll have a 300-bed capacity and will add another 300 each month until completion, Texas Maj. Gen. Thomas Suelzer, Abbott's top military adviser, said at the Friday press conference. The camp will include several features like large dining halls, individual rooms for soldiers and medical care facilities....

This is all political (click here) because Republicans promised the southern border would be secure and there were Republicans elected to the USA House of Representative from districts along the Texas border to allow that to happen. US Republicans only see running for office as politics. The Chief Justice John Roberts always falls to the political argument as he did in the Colorado decision regarding excluding Trump from the Republican primary election. National Guard troops are for national security measures, not politics.

Greg Abbott has made speeches implying the governor wants the right to order the deaths of those crossing the Rio Grande to the USA. Trump has considered Abbott for a Vice Presidential candidate.

The border crossings are at issue. There are problems. But, violation of the Rule of Law is not the answer. The US Senate has run aground again in attempting to end any obstruction to passing border protections. The US House simply is not interested in any legislation. They are interested in their own politics and not much else. This rancher in Arizona would love to get relief from border crossings, but, the USA House refuses to act. Greg Abbott should be pounding the halls of the USA House to bring about agreement and not simply allowing politics to rule the day.

...His plan for the day (click here) was to survey three remote water tanks and locate a few lost cows — simple tasks in a place where everything had become increasingly complicated during the last several months. Jim laid out a map of southern Arizona on the hood of his truck and showed Sue the route he planned to take across their cattle grazing land, an area three times the size of Manhattan located on the outskirts of Arivaca, Ariz. He traced his finger over a desolate mountain range, across six canyons, and down to the five and a half miles of their ranch that ran along the U.S.-Mexico border in what had become one of the busiest corridors for a record wave of undocumented immigration....

The nonsense in the US House and at the Texas border is nothing but politics. Inaction and fear mongering is the resolve of the Republican Party.

As president, (click here) Trump sought to use military planes and bases for deportation. Now, he and his allies are talking about a new effort that current and former officials warn could be impractical and dangerous....

The USA does not need a militarized southern border, it needs a better neighborhood.

"My revenge is my success."

What is his success?

Specifics.

Methods

Cost

Anti-American goals?

Expected outcomes?

What if outcomes are not American?

...“I think (click here) that we have to take Donald Trump very seriously,” Cheney said Sunday. “We have to take seriously the extent to which you have now got a Putin wing of the Republican Party.”

“I believe the issue this election cycle is making sure the Putin wing of the Republican Party does not take over the West Wing of the White House,” she continued....

I didn't watch the town hall where Trump appeared and answered questions, but, a Trump supporter was bragging the comment was wonderful and what they wanted to hear. The problem with all that is that the devil lives in the air between the supporter's ears and his mouth. What they think they are hearing and what is actually the plot by Trump only lies in the fact he is a showman and not a loyal American.

Co-governance of Gaza

I realize Israel fears for its citizens. Their efforts to end terrorist violence must continue, but, Israel must start to work with the Palestinian Authority to govern Gaza.

The Israeli intelligence agencies are using highly accurate. I mean all the time. They missed their mark on the recent raid on the hospital. It is time a governing authority has control of Gaza working with Israel to cleanse Gaza for f Hamas and other terrorists.

A joint authority has to occur. The PA was out gunned by Hamas and took control of Gaza. Israel must show good faith and begin a joint governance of Gaza to stabilize the area and return function. The Palestinian Authority must work diligently with Israeli intelligence to end the presence of all terrorist elements to protect citizens from being used as human shields ever again.

This is a transition that will be welcomed globally for the stability of a legitimate governance in Gaza. The safety and stability of Gaza has to be the priority and not simply a ceasefire and occupation of the same terrorists elements as before the war. There is now a trench separation and that must be recognized as an important security measure.
