Tennessee's Governor political CYA moment.

The Executor is not the problem, the fact he has no sincerely effective method is the problem.

The resignation itself is not political. I don't care if both men affiliate with the same party or not, the point is the resignation does not solve the problem before the prison systems in regard to death row inmates.

Pope Leo opposes any death penalty. Any professional that does not carry out a death penalty killing is on the right side of their faith beliefs and that of the ethics of their professions.

Following the botched execution (click here) of Christa Pike, the Catholic and Episcopal Bishops of Tennessee call for the US state’s Governor to commute her death sentence and uphold their opposition to the death penalty....

The facts of the matter are obvious, even Chirsta Pike predicted her disabling outcome. There aren't qualified people starting the IV that required with the fatal injection. Christa's arms are burned and badly bruised because the person attempting to find a blood vessel could not achieve that goal. Those administering the fatal cocktail believed they had a patent IV access regardless of the first failure. They tried to inject the killing drugs and failed to reach Christa's heart or any system organ, including her brain, that would have ended her life.

The resignation of the commissioner of the Department of Corrections is not the problem. The resignation is a symptom of the right wing politics of the day that demand convicted death row inmates to be killed. It is not necessary to have such executions in the face of complete disregard of the profound reality of the prison system in carrying out the deaths of incarcerated people.

There is a problem beyond the problem of the lethal injection. It is defined by an organization called, "The Innocence Project (click here)." If there were no innocent people found on death row there would less reason to end such a heinous criminal sentence. But, there are innocent people on death row and it has been proven. That should be enough for a moral USA to stop this indignity of death as a criminal punishment.

The head of Tennessee’s prison system (click here) is resigning, Gov. Bill Lee announced Saturday, the first major staff shake-up since Christa Pike’s stunning failed execution left her unconscious and on a ventilator at a hospital.

Frank Strada, commissioner of the Department of Correction, will step down this month, Lee said. Some of the governor’s fellow Republicans and other elected officials had been urging a change in leadership.

It was the second time since May that Tennessee has not been able to execute a prisoner who was seemingly moments away from death.

Strada said in a statement that resigning was “in the best interest of Tennesseans” while an independent review determines what happened Wednesday when the state failed to execute Pike despite administering two doses of a lethal drug, pentobarbital.

“I believe this review is entirely appropriate and necessary, and I look forward to doing everything I can to help determine exactly what occurred,” Strada said.

Pike, now 50, was 18 when she and her boyfriend tortured and killed a classmate, Colleen Slemmer, in a jealous rage in 1995. She became one of the youngest women to be sent to death row....

Attacks on Cuba.

If there is anyone trying to protect the Cuban people it is the Cuban military. 

February 26, 2026

The American speedboat (click here) that Cuban officials said opened fire on border agents Wednesday was carrying 10 armed Cubans who were attempting to infiltrate the country “for terrorist purposes,” the country’s Interior Ministry said.

Cuban authorities seized assault rifles, handguns, molotov cocktails, body armor and fatigues from the Florida-registered vessel, the ministry said in a statement late Wednesday. The men on board were Cuban nationals who had been living in the United States, the ministry said.

The speedboat was less than a nautical mile off Villa Clara province on Cuba’s northern coast Wednesday morning when Cuban border agents approached and asked for identification, the ministry said earlier. The men on the speedboat opened fire on the Cuban vessel, the ministry said, wounding its commander....

The USA under the direction of Trump and Hegseth is causing a humanitarian crisis in Cuba through still yet another oil embargo. It is the same tactic as used on Iran. There is no Strait of Hormuz involved. There are no drug runner boats full of cocaine or any other substance. This is nothing but a brutal attack on people in Cuba that have no influence or power to stop this cruelty. Someone needs to build solar panels or China needs to fly them in to Havana. Wind power takes a long time to build.

For months, (click here) President Trump has been predicting that Cuba is about to collapse.

“It’s just going to fall,” he told reporters on Jan. 4, a day after taking control of Venezuela’s oil, which had been Cuba’s lifeline.

He then imposed an oil blockade that has pushed the island into its worst ever energy crisis, with mass blackouts now lasting nearly all day. And yet, more than six months later, the Cuban government and people are still standing.

This month, we visited the country to understand how. After a week on the ground, we found that while Cubans are clearly suffering, they are also doing what perhaps they do best: adapting....

Additionally, ICE has taken at least one Cuban (at one time had special status) from his life here in the USA and deported him to a very little known country where he is a prisoner. He was not a prisoner in the USA until he was arrested by ICE. To the best of my knowledge there was no legal process to arrest him or deport him.

A tanker carrying fuel originally ‌bound for Cuba (click here) on Friday changed its destination to Trinidad and Tobago, according to LSEG ship-tracking data, a blow for the island amid a severe fuel scarcity that has triggered power blackouts.

Cuba on Tuesday reconnected its power grid and ​brought online its largest thermal electricity plant, ending a nationwide blackout that lasted more than ​29 hours. But the U.S. move to choke off fuel supply to Cuba's government ⁠could cause more outages, Cuban officials have said....

October 2, 2026

The U.S. Coast Guard (click here) announced on Friday the seizure of two ships bound for Cuba that were illegally carrying thousands of gallons of diesel fuel amid the ongoing fuel blockade to the country imposed by President Donald Trump.

The "Grace," a 300-foot tanker, was seized on Sept. 5 by the Coast Guard and Mexican authorities in the Caribbean Sea between Cuba and Mexico, after it was alleged to use covert operations to traverse the high seas, according to Coast Guard officials. Another ship, carrying 200,000 gallons of fuel, was seized by the Coast Guard in June....

There is absolutely no reason for this man to have been arrested in the first place. 

NONE.

In my opinion, this occurred as a scare tactic to the Cuban immigrant population both inside the USA and in Cuba as Hegseth carries out his assault against the people of Cuba.

As he stepped out of the American military cargo plane, (click here) Roberto Mosquera still couldn’t tell where he was or why he had been taken there. When federal immigration agents forced him onto a secret flight 30 hours earlier, it was a hot July afternoon in Texas. Now, after traveling thousands of miles, he felt a cold winter’s morning in the air.

He was in the kingdom of Eswatini, a tiny, landlocked country in southern Africa that until recently was called Swaziland. Mosquera had never heard of it. He hadn’t set foot outside the United States since he was 12, when he arrived on a fishing boat as part of the 1980 Mariel boatlift from Cuba with his mother, a sister and her infant daughter. As a teenager, he joined a Miami gang, and in his 20s, he took a plea deal after being charged with attempted murder for shooting a rival gangster in the leg. That would have been grounds to deport him had he been from almost any other country. But Cuba wasn’t cooperating with the United States on deportations, so Mosquera was allowed to stay, provided he checked in with the authorities each year. He built a new life for himself, becoming a specialty plumber and a born-again Christian; he married and had four daughters....

Trump has no respect for the integrity of government. He is a political animal and nothing else and sees to boundaries to spending taxpayer monies.

September 29, 2026

The Trump administration used funding allocated for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) (click here) in Republicans’ “One Big Beautiful Bill” to pay for President Trump’s government funded political ads that started running last week. House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03) and House Appropriations Homeland Security Subcommittee Ranking Member Henry Cuellar (D-TX-28) released the following statement:

“After gutting $1 trillion from Medicaid, stripping health care coverage from millions of Americans, giving the very richest Americans and large corporations massive tax breaks, adding more than $4 trillion to the deficit, and more than quadrupling funding for mass deportations, it turns out the Trump administration used Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill to pay for President Trump’s political ads.

“When Democrats reclaim control of Congress next year, the House Appropriations Committee will work to uncover and reverse misuses of taxpayer money like this and hold those who abused their power accountable.”

This comes after Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought moved $20 million in resources to the Department of Homeland Security for this purpose on September 19.

It is a matter of the citizens' right to transparency. It us out money Trump is using for political purposes.

Ranking Member to the Appropriations Committee is Rosa L. DeLauro (click here) 

It is obvious what Trump and Netanyahu are up to in building tensions between themselves and Iran.

Iran feels trapped. That is probably what is intended. Its economy is failing and the idea they can negotiate with extremists in power in the USA and Israel is becoming clear that any negotiations is a lie on the part of the opposition to a sovereign Iran. 

I find the fact the USA has left Iraq more than curious. Hegseth is pulling out all the stops before the Midterm elections to escalate the war into anticipated combat after the elections. A permanent automatic registration for the draft in the USA starts in December. 

Trump and Hegseth are banking on a war theater would be irreversible no matter what happens in November with the elections. I don't see that as a hurdle. If an ILLEGAL war is started by Trump and Hegseth the idea of ending it is obvious and not an estimation of any kind. The new Congress will end any war powers involved in this insane unprovoked aggression. Oh, Hegseth is pulling 200 USA troops out of Nigeria. 

Europe is making headway into African alliances. Italy is becoming absolutely amazing in it's ability to ally with Egypt and recently Libya. The military strength of other nations is growing in the face of an erratic and provoking USA president and Secretary of Defense. No country worth it's sovereignty is taking anything for granted from the USA anymore. That is truly unfortunate.

I STAND WITH WATSON. 

(click here)

One thing to remember about Major Watson, besides the fact he is a Major, it that he works in logistics. He knows more than he can say about his own point of view. After 17 years as an officer in the field of USA logistics his view of the world is different than most Americans. His decision to speak out was not a simple one for him.

This is what has been reported in "Stars and Stripes," the paper taken over by Hegseth. The update about no probable cause was not reported.

Major Jason P. Watson can demand equal time in any newspaper or media service under the law of this country for the truth to be heard. 

(click here)

An Air Force major who stood on the U.S. Capitol steps and called for the impeachment of President Donald Trump could face dismissal from the service and loss of his security clearance.

Maj. Jason P. Watson, 40, is under investigation by the service and restricted to Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington, D.C., according to Jessica Denson, founder of the Removal Coalition, which hosted the news conference where Watson spoke prior to his protest Wednesday. The group lobbies members of Congress to impeach Trump.

“Who I am is immaterial,” Watson said during the news conference. “In the grand scheme of things, I’m just a nobody. What matters far more than who I am is what I have to say and the price I’m willing to pay to say it.”

The 17-year logistics officer, dressed in his blue service uniform and flight cap, outlined the reasons he called for the impeachment of Trump and Vice President JD Vance, beginning with military involvement in Venezuela, Cuba and Iran....

Most of what Trump and his cabinet does is illegal.

The administration does not engage the public to validate the need for changing policy. Where citizens may be engaged about changes to policy the points made are mute because the administration already wrote he rules and will not implement them. The rules this administration writes is in violation of the rule of law. It is time for the criminality be exposed so citizens can see it for themselves.

Trump's administration changes policy that was legislated without engaging Congress with information that proves the changes are necessary. This administration is so corrupt it conducts itself outside the law. Citizens can carry good reasons to interrupt and stop changes in policy but their input is never taken seriously. Public comment periods for this administration is a formality with little leverage to the plans it has for the wealth that belongs to Americans and their quality of life.

Hegseth is assaulting the ROTC offered in colleges. While there is nothing wrong in beginning programs in good colleges and universities it is completely wrong to end these programs in places like Harvard, Brown, Cornell, and other major universities. These universities participate in preparing leaders for our military. They receive excellent credentials along with their ROTC status. There is just no justification for what is occurring with funding and policy with this administration. 

Cornell University: The only Ivy League institution that hosts on-campus detachments for all three military branches (Army, Navy/Marine Corps, and Air Force).

University of Pennsylvania: Hosts an on-campus Naval ROTC program and coordinates Army and Air Force ROTC through neighboring institutions like Drexel University and St. Joseph's University.

Princeton University: Sponsors an on-campus Army ROTC unit, while Air Force and Naval ROTC are offered through a cross-enrollment agreement with Rutgers University.

Dartmouth College: Sponsors an on-campus Army ROTC program.

Harvard University: Offers Army, Navy, and Air Force ROTC options via cross-enrollment agreements hosted primarily at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Harvard is being eliminated in sponsoring ROTC when it is hosted at MIT. That is simply insane.

Columbia University: Provides access to Army, Navy, and Air Force ROTC through cross-enrollment with institutions like Fordham University and Manhattan College.

Yale University: Hosts Air Force and Naval ROTC on campus, while participating Army ROTC students travel to the University of Connecticut.

Brown University: Offers Army ROTC through Providence College, Naval ROTC through the College of the Holy Cross, and Air Force ROTC through Worcester Polytechnic Institute

ROTC programs in some of the finest universities in the country provide for a better prepared and effective military.

The bad judgement of this administration and it's bizarre policies need the attention of the courts because there is no dealing with them otherwise.

...In the lawsuit, (click here) Attorney General Nessel and the coalition argue that this is the latest front in a multi-year campaign of failed attempts by the administration to terminate, withdraw, or place conditions on funding that supports programs Congress has chosen to fund, but with which the President disagrees. Impoundment — the administration’s refusal to spend funds Congress has lawfully appropriated for particular purposes — violates the separation of powers, the Appropriations Clause, and the Presentment Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The coalition further argues that the impoundment of funds is unlawful agency action in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act....

Christa Pike received an amateur attempt at execution. She knew the executioners would fail.

The State of Tennessee has no alternative but to end the execution of their death row inmates. The idea behind a full life sentence without parole is to protect society from these criminals. 

The reason there are botched attempts at executions is because there are no medical personnel anywhere that will be a part of this barbaric form of justice. Marsha Blackburn is basically stating she has the guts to attempt another execution by signing a piece of paper as if that means there is competency in the execution. A signed paper only proves the State of Tennessee has no valid method of execution. A signed paper by a governor is not going to mean the prisoner will be deceased humanly or at all.

The death penalty in the USA is more a judgement of a society and it's inability to limit cruelty in the obvious presence of failure. 

Ms. Pike was 50 years old and she may have lived another 20 or 30 years. What difference does it make if a prisoner is incarcerated if they will never be back in society? As a nation we have a right to dignity. A life behind bars is not as much a deterrent as the death penalty? I believe it is. Crimes of passion as is the case with Christa Pike occurs in the face of consequences.

I am not a victim's family and perhaps they can answer the question about the cruelty of the death penalty in Tennessee, but, the issue is justice and finding methods that work to eliminate and not deter crime. These cases are a challenge to society to find solutions for such crimes rather than seeking a form of justice that leaves society scarred with the cruelty that accompanies it.

Christa Pike was unconscious, intubated and on a ventilator (click here) in a Nashville hospital a day after surviving a botched execution attempt, her lawyers said in a court filing, raising questions about whether the state could legally try to execute her again.

As of Thursday evening, Ms. Pike, 50, was critically ill, they wrote in the Friday filing in Davidson County Chancery Court, and both of her arms were swollen, burned and blistered when she arrived at the hospital.

Her condition sets the stage for an unprecedented ethical and legal quagmire: A future attempt to execute Ms. Pike could hinge on whether she is determined to be capable of what the Supreme Court has described as a “rational understanding” of the reason she is to be put to death.

And although Gov. Bill Lee has paused executions for now, the front-runner to be elected governor next month, Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn, said that she would try again to execute Ms. Pike, who was convicted of the 1995 murder of a classmate....

NATO countries mistreated by Trump should apply to the USA courts to enforce the treaty.

The NATO Treaty was signed in 1949 after the end of WWII. This is a legal document authorized by Congress. There is no way Trump has unilateral control over anything within the treaty. I am confident the treaty an be reviewed by the justices in the USA and upheld beyond Trump's temper tantrums. 

France provided the groundwork for the misdeeds of Trump in a rather accurate speech. I believe all that can be introduced in lawsuits to demonstrate his ill will to the allies and the measures of which Trump has executed to jeopardize not only the alliance, but, the national security of alliance countries, hence the national security of the USA.

Trump is embarking on escalation of violence in the Middle East against the laws of the USA. He is far beyond the 90 periods when the USA's president can execute military actions without Congressional approval. There is no such thing as pretending he is within the laws of the USA if his focus continues to be the very same country he is unable to negotiate even a ceasefire yet alone a peace treaty.

Also noted is the failed vote by the USA House of Representatives to remove Hegseth from office. It wasn't a condenses not to impeach, it was a derailed vote through manipulation of the calendar of the House by the current Speaker.

Is going through a second attempt at killing an inmate double jeopardy?

This isn't the first time Tennessee has messed up an execution. The wardens need to have emergency personnel on standby at the hospital when they are making such attempts. Notification to the hospital there is going to be an execution taking place, date and time. This way the hospital staff and EMTs can have a dedicated bay and ambulance when, not if, something goes wrong.

Tennessee officials (click here) were unable to put Christa Gail Pike to death Wednesday for a 1995 murder after administering two doses of a lethal drug.

Her attorneys have filed an emergency motion to halt her execution after they say Pike was “still alive and snoring” after receiving her lethal injection on Wednesday.

“The vein in my arm feels like it’s about to bust,” one witness recalled her saying.

According to the emergency motion, the Tennessee Department of Correction began the execution of Pike at about 9 p.m. ET. The motion says that both syringes of pentobarbital were administered and that Pike “has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat and is audibly snoring.”...

The Trump Arch is about manipulating the public to honor returning soldiers from war.

The Brandenburg Gate was commissioned by King Frederick William II of Prussia, the sandstone structure was built between 1788 and 1791 by royal architect Carl Gotthard Langhans. Langhans modeled the structure after the Propylaea—the monumental gateway to the Acropolis in Athens.

The World War I Homecoming (1918): Following the end of World War I, nine German military divisions marched through the gate on December 10, 1918. They were greeted by Friedrich Ebert, the head of the provisional government, who famously praised the returning troops as being "unconquered in the field of battle". The event took on the grand atmosphere of a victory celebration, even though Germany had just lost the war.

The East African Troops (1919): In March 1919, General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck led his undefeated Schutztruppe (colonial troops from the East African theater) on a massive victory parade through the gate, which had been heavily decorated in their honor.

Prussian Victories (1814): After the defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo, Prussian troops reclaimed the monument's stolen Quadriga statue and marched through the gate in a massive celebration of liberation

It is all very clever. Placing an arch in honor of soldiers returning from war is a huge attempt to rebrand the USA as a waring nation from that of a defensive nation. These monuments are supposed to be commissioned by Congress. This is more of Trump's Truth Social ego trip. How many of those that subscribe to Truth Social will lose sons and daughters to Trump's holy wars?

Amazing story. Everyone is safe and sound.

Flydubai Passengers Land in Israel After Suspected Midair Hijacking Attempt (click here)

Israeli passengers returned home on a replacement aircraft after a pilot allegedly tried to crash their flight from Dubai. Passengers described breaking into the cockpit to stop him...

Where is airport security?

Sky Marshalls that can take over for the pilot. That might be interesting.

There is a lot going on. The USA is out of Iraq. The Shi'ites don't want them there. It seems unclear as to what will come of the American Embassy. Then there is the incident in the UK and the authorities are unsure what exactly the alert was all about or why there were 4 masked men with a van near the military base. 

This is what happens when peace negotiations fail. 

The Shi'ites aren't sitting on the side lines anymore. Since, the Ayatollah was assassinated along with over one hundred girls the Shi'ites have the clear idea they are being systematically removed from life in Iran. Nasrallah is dead along with most of the people in his building, probably some children. There is a lot going on and it won't end without a peace treaty. The Saudis are having problems with the Houthis. This is all due to the assassinations under Trump. It is noteworthy the attacks on Iran were unprovoked and the treaty was eliminated under Trump's first term.

Just a reminder how corrupt Trump and his minions are.

 Manafort was involved with Russian oligarchs, too.

It is called racketeering.

Trump's Board of untrustworthy Trustees have proven they are not worth while in protecting this magnificent tribute to the Late President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. They robbed the foundations treasury. They ran fundraising to donors known to The Center, and they took USA Treasury money provided to the The Center. 

They raided the place and now they want to shut it down, assign the bankruptcy to problems with the building and repairs and do what they did to the East Wing to the Kennedy Center for the Arts. 

Sanctioned by the Republicans, including Musk, Trump is a low, down, dirty crook. 

REALIZE NOW THAT ALL THIS ACCURACY IS CONSIDERED PROPAGANDA. TRUMP AND HIS MINIONS ARE TURNING THE TRUTH ON IT'S HEAD FOR THIS VERY REASON. THE CORRUPTION AND CRUELTY DOES NOT STOP HERE. EVERY PLACE, EVERY THING, AND EVERYONE TRUMP ENCOUNTERS IS EXPLOITED FOR AS MUCH MONEY AS HE CAN GET.

WHERE ARE THE ARTIFACTS AND MUSEUM QUALITY ITEMS TRUMP TOOK FROM THE OVAL OFFICE? WHERE IS THE RECEIPT AND RECORDS FOR THEIR REMOVAL AND STORAGE AND ON GOING SECURITY OF ALL HE TOOK? THE SAME HOLDS TRUE FOR EVERY INSTITUTION HE COVETS, INCLUDING THE SMITHSONIANS. HE WANTS THE AFRICAN AMERICAN SMITHSONIAN MUSEUM TO DISAPPEAR. 

Jack Smith's prosecution of stolen documents from the Presidential Archives is only the beginning.

Trump and the Board are responsible in raiding the treasury of The Center and driving the organization into bankruptcy. RESPONSIBLE. They have personal liability. They criminally took the monies and pocketed it. The DOJ is sanctioning the crimes. They all need to be replaced and sued for the problems they are and continue to cause.

The USA Attorney for DC is as corrupt if not more so for ignoring the crimes and allowing the bankruptcy to proceed knowing full well and investigation and arrests are in order.

In the 19 months (click here) since President Donald Trump took over the Kennedy Center, the institution has borrowed everything its bank would lend it, dipped into money donors had given on the condition it never be spent and written off pledges from supporters who stopped paying, according to confidential board documents and tax filings reviewed by The Washington Post....

Here is the plan.

Trump keeps finding fault with negotiations with Iran and the House won't allow a vote to impeach Hegseth because the plan to invade Iran is set for after the Midterm Elections.

Hegseth is removing the top brass to create more money for the frontline GIs.The war plans are set and Johnson has bought into it. 

GET RID OF THE REPUBLICANS AT EVERY TURN. THEY WILL INSTITUTE THE DRAFT.

It is the holy war to end all holy wars.

Game on!

Hegseth, Trump, and Netanyahu do not plan to have our soldiers survive if all they are looking at are numbers. 

Jack Smith

To begin Jack Smith did his job and did it so well he is the focus of desperate Republican politics.

One has to balance the testimony of Jack Smith with recent early dismissal of Congress by Johnson. Realize Johnson dismissed the USA House a day early to PREVENT an impeachment vote of Hegseth, a Trump loyalist.

(By the way, the rash number of pilot ejections from US Air Force jets needs to be investigated not only for the unusual number of such incidents, but, the resultant injuries of the pilots involved-(namely disabilities), but, maintenance records and quality of maintenance and EXPERIENCE of the mechanics and training besides the pilots)

See, to be a Trump loyalist as Johnson (Louisiana economy and federal money dependence) is requires one to BELIEVE every word Donald says. Therefore, Trump and his minions on the Cabinet are above the law. Why? Besides the fact Trump is perfect and a specimen of holiness? The “Drank the Koolaid” Republicans WANT to destroy this country and they have to fight the rest of us to do it. But, the “Drank the Koolaid” Republicans must enforce THEIR ( really Trump’s) dialogue to succeed. Therefore, Jack Smith IS THE ICON of the Trump lies about the Biden elections of 2020.

By the way, did anyone other than me notice Trump can ONLY beat the Democratic women in elections and not the White Men? He beat Hillary and Joe’s Veep, Kamala. Just sayin’. I really think that is “a thing” to Trump ‘s enormous ego. Seriously. So, Trump had to have beat Joe. Ya know?

But, that aside, Trump has to win the argument Jack Smith is wrong. Otherwise, what are the consequences? If Trump were to state Jack Smith did his job well and he has no real demeanor or attitude problem, then what next? What is next is Trump’s guilt. 

Who is keeping track of the cost of all Trump’s lawyering? The past and current lawyering is a continuous process no different than other hoodlum bosses. If Trump’s lawyering costs were compared to other gangland bosses it would be comparable or more. It is how Trump stays on the legal side of prison bars. It is how all the wealthy gangland bosses stay on the legal side of prison bars. They eventually get caught. Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, Carlo Gambino, Pablo Escobar, Frank Lucas, and John Gotti just to name a few. Didn’t Trump go to high school with Gotti’s son? 

But, to put Jack Smith’s testimony into perspective it has to be realized the consequences and why destroying a justice system as strong as the one created by the USA Constitution is vital to Trump’s survival. Trump attempted a coup on January 6, 2021. Realize the consequences of an attempted coup of the USA Constitution is potentially death. That is a very powerful reason to carry out a fictional storyline suitable to save Trump’s life and the corruption of the wealthy that sponsor(ed) the attempted coup. The false storyline is the continuation of the attempted coup. The “Drank the Koolaid” Republicans can ultimately be held to answer for their crimes as well. 

Have a better day, America. The truth survived and continues to survive. Jack Smith is among the greatest of American patriots.

One of the first acts of the new Congress is to pass legislation to protect the judges and justices that uphold the integrity of the USA Constitution and the Rule of Law.

DD214

EVERY AMERICAN who ever serviced in the military needs to immediately apply for a copy of their DD214 form (click here) from the National Archives after the massive data breach that occurred during this administration. 

Hey!

I thought the tariffs were supposed to have the debt clock running backwards.

It is not.

The national debt is greater than the GDP.

 (click here)

It is called racketeering.

Up to now the USA and Europe had strict standards for corruption. The USA and Europe required corruption by any trading partner to be cleared up before they could be introduced into the economic trade.

Trump is learning his level of racketeering and corruption from some of the best autocrats in the business and he is passing it along to the American people in the way of propaganda campaigns. It won't be long before the USA trading partners will be demanding the USA clean up it's act when it comes to trade and the Trump tariffs won't mean a thing.

Previous to the vote Trump is using OUR TAX DOLLARS to pay for his propagandized corruption scheme.

Two years ago, (click here) Donald Trump’s campaign paid to show Americans this message. Today, Americans are paying to have Donald Trump’s government show it to them.

There is something uniquely unsettling about watching a political ad during football glorifying Donald Trump and then seeing five words appear at the end:

Paid for by the U.S. Government.

That means you. Me. Us.

Last week, the Trump administration began buying commercial television airtime for a series of slickly produced advertisements centered overwhelmingly on Donald Trump. They are running on national television and cable, including some of the most valuable real estate in American media: football. By Friday, tracked spending on the first ad alone had reached at least $443,000.

The White House calls them “public service announcements” but what they are is state run propaganda paid for by taxpayers, Nazi style.

So, Bennie, how is the holy war coming?

Trump is attempting to look like a peacemaker while we all know he simply wants to kill everything insight. Is that what you two have in mind? That isn’t going over well with the rest of us. 

Sea level rise and full Moon.

The northeastern inundation is due to the climate crisis. When I look at the visuals about the northeast I see an ocean that has risen without retreat. The ocean is high and well over its usual height. The coastal erosion is nothing like I have ever seen before. The barrier island communities are isolated. The only option is air or ship evacuation. The Coast Guard is their emergency responders. 

What is it going to take for human beings to welcome the knowledge and wisdom that has been lectured at governments for decades about the climate crisis? This isn’t going away.

The ocean is claiming the land. Waves are washing in and bouncing off landfall. The tide then rolls back toward open ocean without resolving its energy. The incoming tide rides over top of the retreating wave. The ocean is literally sloshing back and forth without resolving the energy in the waves. It is wind driven height. The waves are being pushed to unprecedented heights.

My understanding is the storm will stall. That means the northeast will be receiving not only enormous wave and water heights but unresolved energy in those waves. Days of high energy water results in a lot of damage. 

Unscrupulous

The Supreme Court (click here) revived a controversial voter-citizenship database less than two months ahead of the midterm elections. In the ruling, the court sided with the Trump administration, which is seeking to use the Department of Homeland Security’s SAVE database to review state voter rolls for potential noncitizens....

I think it should and can be dismantled. It interferes with the Social Security Administration and the delicate personal information of the entire population of the USA, including children.

What is the SAVE Database?

Original Purpose: SAVE (Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements) is a 40-year-old federal data system run by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, originally built to check immigration status for public benefits.
Recent Changes: The Department of Homeland Security overhauled the system to link it with Social Security Administration records and allow bulk queries. States were encouraged to upload entire voter rolls to check for citizenship and deceased individuals. [1]
Legal Battles: A lower federal court blocked the modified program in June, ruling that bulk data sharing violated privacy and administrative laws.
Supreme Court Action: The Supreme Court stayed that block, allowing the administration to resume using the database to review voter rolls ahead of elections. Critics and voting rights advocates raise concerns over privacy risks and potential errors that could mistakenly flag eligible citizens.
