More than 50 percent of millionaires in the USA are nearly old enough to receive Social Security and Medicare.

This is Democratic Party strong suit. They should not overlook this demographic. 

The most important fact in this entire survey is the average age of millionaires in the USA and how quickly they are occurring in recent years. They are Baby Boomers in their final years of retirement. No wonder the average home buyer is in their late 50s. They are preparing to retire for the rest of their lives. Is that the American Dream? Americans literally have are retiring into the wealthiest part of life in the USA. Or at least the ones that achieve it.

No wonder the global share is 41 percent. The USA has a higher population than the rest of the Free World. It also has more land in private ownership. These self made millionaires obtained the status because they played the real estate market in their years before retirement. The fact that more than three quarters are college educated is even more interesting considering Trump's Education Secretary is attempting to shut down higher education facilities.

The action by the Trump Regime paves the way for nuclear holocaust in the Middle East.

The religious volatility in the Middle East is far too high to trust this level of engagement with any country in that region.

Saudi Arabia for generations has attached itself to the USA for ideological reasons and use of it's military to engage in wars of choice. Iraq was a war of choice and now the assault on Iran is a war of choice. This is a country with a Prince that has overseen the acidic removal of a journalist practicing in the USA for a major newspaper because of the truth telling about the Saudi Prince's regime. This is a country that had a regime of terrorists carry out the attacks of September 11, 2001 under the leadership of Osama bin Laden. This is not a country that is an ally in the way the American people believe an ally should exist. This is a country with it's own direction dictated by it's religious beliefs. There is no democracy in Saudi Arabia, nor will there ever be.

Israel is already unsettled over this allowance by Trump. If there is ever engagement of nuclear weapons by Saudi Arabia, Israel will strike first.

The U.S. and Saudi Arabia on Wednesday (click here) forged a new agreement that could potentially provide the kingdom with uranium enrichment capability for its civilian nuclear program.

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Saudi Minister of Energy Abdulaziz bin Salman formally signed the nuclear cooperation agreement, known as a “123 agreement,” alongside what the Trump administration described as a “bilateral safeguards agreement.”

The U.S. administration released scant details of the deal, but the framework paves the way for the building of a uranium enrichment facility in Saudi Arabia after a joint U.S.-Saudi study, according to a person familiar with the matter who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

“These agreements reflect our two nations’ shared commitment to strengthening U.S.-Saudi commercial relations, delivering prosperity at home and security to our allies abroad,” Wright said in a statement. “Rest assured, these agreements uphold the highest standards of nuclear safety and nonproliferation, while relying on the world’s best nuclear technology and scientists, designed right here in the United States.”...

Americans' health is no longer safe from their government.

Human physiology and cell damage has not changed. If this is not profit driven then it is part of Trump's ideology in killing people. Just that simple. He prefers Putin over NATO. Hello, everyone?

These policies are being changed without any public comment period. The Trump regime is out of control and ranks up there with Saddam Hussein in the assaultive approach to governance. The Saddam Hussein governance allowed for sexual exploitation of women and with the "Manosphere" acknowledged by Trump and his children there is no difference than with the PRIVILEDGE of power.

What the American people are now experiencing is the profound CLASS divide that has always existed in the third world. The ruling class are the wealthy and privileged and the rest of the population impoverished and enslaved. The disconnection between the classes is well underway and will only grow from here.

The deregulation of the nuclear industry is just one example of Trump's assault on human health. The EPA, HHS, DHS, Education, and Interior Departments are engaged in dangerous deregulation of all forms of governance that established not only guardrails, but, walls between industry, private sector interests, and the health and well being of the American people.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (click here) is proposing to eliminate a foundational safety principle that has for 50 years minimized the radiation people in the United States are exposed to and that has been adopted around the world.

Currently, facilities such as nuclear plants, hospitals or academic institutions that use radioactive materials must ensure radiation exposures are kept “as low as reasonably achievable” — the ALARA principle. The NRC proposal would abandon that philosophy while keeping a separate standard on maximum radiation exposure.

The two standards have worked together in radiation safety. Dose limits set the maximum amount of radiation the public and radiation workers can be exposed to, while ALARA kept radiation exposure as low as practical under those limits. Research shows radiation exposure increases a person’s chance of getting cancer, a risk that increases as the dose increases....

Congress sincerely WANTS to maintain the neglect and hardship of the American people.

 Republicans are doing their every trick in the book to end this democracy and the Rule of Law. They hate the USA Constitution. If they didn't they would not be fighting so hard to end it's democracy.

Congress is guilty of neglect of this country while spending wildly on war.

 “The most significant threat to our national security is our debt.”

Those words have been spoken over and over since the testimony of Retired Admiral Mike Mullens in 2012.

The terrorist attacks are starting again.

This one in Germany shut down the largest LGBT celebration in Europe. I doubt if Trump cares. It violates his ideology to care. Think about that a minute. What kind of ideology would look the other way without recognizing the carnage or inhumanity of the brutal act. Think about law enforcement and whether or not the future for such crimes in the US DOJ would even matter.

Germany pledged justice (click here) after a vehicle attack near Berlin’s Pride event left one dead and 16 injured, as investigators identified a suspect described as Islamist and urged the public to help locate him. The incident, in Tiergarten close to Brandenburg Gate during Christopher Street Day, prompted emergency responses and the cancellation of remaining events. authorities emphasized rapid investigation into potential accomplices and whether the attacker acted alone, while the case unfolded amid a tense political moment ahead of state elections. The government’s response and ongoing manhunt underscored concerns over security and extremism, with opposition parties weighing in on the broader context and implications for public safety. The investigation remains fluid, with authorities examining vehicle details and possible second attackers, as the political landscape faces scrutiny over handling of security threats....

Ignoring the Rule of Law is Trump's favorite past time. What makes anyone believe Trump will do nothing but continue to ignore the law because of his ideology and desire to rule as King?

Blanche is a traitor no different than the man that nominated him. 

There are innocent Americans dead because of these bastards. There are people who immigrated to this country legally for an opportunity to live in this country and contribute to it's greatness, some serving in the USA military now in detention facilities.

The Trump Administration is criminal and ignores the Rule of Law. Now, the assault on Iran is manifesting in blockades by the Houthis and so far one terrorist attack in Berlin. This administration is wall to wall morons.

The current military funding in Congress is laced with corruption and the enforcement of violence and death.

 Iran is becoming a forever war with a clearly growing movement of angry Islamic young men. The war must stop and so does the funding.

DO NOT PASS THAT BILL. It insults the USA Constiutiion.

Where has all the OTHER money gone? That has to be accounted for before ever going forward with any more military funding.

I am grateful for Former President Clinton. He does not have to do this, but, he has and it is important to heed the warnings.

The American people have champions protecting the USA Constitution and the Rule of Law.

 Meet a few of them (click here).

Senators, House Members, and Judges only begin to represent the army of people standing the breach with Trump. All this good knowledge coming from these patriots are also met with honest reporting by Main Stream Media such as The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Houston Chronicles, Washington Post, Orlando Sentinel, Los Angeles Times, BBC, Detroit Free Press, and the Philadelphia Inquirer. There are many, many more as well. They did not abandon us no matter the pressure by the FCC. 

The USA Constitution is strong and showing the only power that can even begin to insult it's integrity is the dirty power of corrupt money in the hands of a criminal president.

The people of the USA in seeking justice against this corruption proves they love their allies and stands with them. The apology to them for all this is obvious.

It is a continuation of the Epstein culture.

I think this ENTITLEMENT culture needs to be exposed. Barron Trump is 20 years old and not a child. He chose or was coached to become a card carrying member of the Manosphere by identifying with the Tates. Enough of this mess.

The entitlement culture is simple. It is highly immoral and victimizing. "I am wealthy, I want what I want, the way I want it, and as much as I want." No respect for anyone. Everyone is a victim if the entitlement culture continues not only to exist, but, to grow and spawn cultural normalization of misogany. 

The manosphere is a hatred of women. Women do not have the right to say no. Women are to serve their male mate and never ask questions. In return the woman receives support. It is the age old culture of the Neanderthals. "Me Tarzan, You Jane."

Somehow testosterone has not become civilized. Testosterone is in charge and it has to be served and women should understand all that. 

Donald John Trump is a serial rapist and was a very good friend of Jeffery Epstein. When does it end? When does the nightmare of male entitlement end? Men can be civilized, good husbands, and great fathers. That's not good enough? 

Barron Trump is not entitled to bring celebrity followings to men who commit sexual assault. Barron can't provide a better image to his generation of men than one that leans on sexual assault as a reality to dating? 

Barron's father always pretended to be a victim of wicked women out to get money from him. That was the excuse Donald would bring to his celebrity when allegations were reported by women he knew. These were not opportunistic strangers. The accusers were women he knew. I think that matters. The reporting of the sexual assault were realistic scenarios of encounters Trump used as an opportunity for sexual excitement. The interview with Planet Hollywood was real. Barron Trump will not give license to his father's old habits or more bad behaviors in a civilized society.

Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari, (click here) who serves as the U.S. representative for Arizona's 3rd congressional district, is demanding transparency when it comes to Andrew and Tristan Tate and their apparent political ties.

The Democrat, 34, has called upon chair of the House Oversight Committee James Comer to "open an investigation into the Tate brothers' coordination and extensive relationships with members of the President's orbit, including his son, Barron Trump," she wrote in an X post on Thursday, July 23.

She attached a formal letter that detailed reports pointing to Andrew and Tristan's supposed ties to the First Family, including President Donald Trump's 20-year-old son....

Data Centers are engineered all wrong.

The energy efficiency was never a priority or any consideration given to the community of human beings that would live in the vicinity.

They should never use water to COOL THE AIR. Cooling the air is a waste of time. Cooling each and every unit with its own electrical cooling unit eliminates the need for generalized cooling of the entire building. If each unit within the building had its own cooling unit the air would never get hot. 

The centers are built in a capitalism ideology using the cheapest methods to maximize profits. We know it is unsafe to live under high tension wires as it causes cancer from the electrical field alone. These monstrous buildings are no different. The cancer reality hasn’t erupted yet. It takes at least a decade and more like two decades for cancers and birth defects to show up. The birth defects will result sooner IF statistics of newborns are kept and processed well by disease analysts. 

There is enormous noise pollution that will cause disease and mental strain. The buildings literally HUM no different than an electrical transfer station. 

Ya know how all the techi CEOs lined up for a group picture with Trump on Inauguration Day? Guess who wrote executive orders to green light these nightmares of projects. 

The noise levels are not mechanical. The noise levels are electrical. Mechanical noise can be contained through engineering methods. Electrical noise travels outside any possible method to contain it.

These data centers are built on ground artificially higher than surrounding buildings and communities. It is designed (not engineered) that way to keep rain from flooding into the building. Stop to realize what a floor, even a minor flood, would look like with that complex of electrical grid. 

The lousy things should be built significantly underground. Such an arrangement would assist with temperature control, but, would contain the noise causing electrical problems. I don’t really see it will work any other way. The FACTORY is too dangerous to human life to have constructed it above ground.

Beginning to see the expense if it were done right rather than for the purpose of profit? 

Governors that green lighted these massively intrusive buildings were never provided adequate details of SIDE EFFECTS. And don’t tell me they didn’t know. I believe it is Facebook that has an enormous building in a mountainous region and I want to say it is in Europe somewhere. At least that is what I recall without looking through my records. They know the problems with these things; they just don’t care because the federal government never demanded them to care.

Public utilities are more heavily regulated than these things. I really think Governors expected the Techies to be more responsible than they are in this instance.

See, IT are people pleasing industries, right? They are dependent on happy consumers. Data centers are a completely different aspect to the industry. Data centers are factories. Few employees are involved. The larger capacity is supposed to make people happy at having endless computer capacity. Wrong! 

Data Centers are an imposition on humanity. I guess if one doesn’t value human life over profits that might explain the numerous engineering problems people are facing now. In Oklahoma there are places where people have moved away because of fracking. The same applies here. Just because the data centers are poorly researched does not mean they are safe.

Each data center should be required to have its own sustainable power source on site. They should never be hooked to the grid. The factory needs to stand alone in its energy needs. Wind and solar projects should be encouraged. Below ground is the data center and at the surface its solar powered or wind powered power source. 

There is a lot of work to be done at MIT before the first one was allowed to power up.

Trump tariffs are unconstitutional

He can’t use tariffs as punitive measures. He cannot substitute tariffs for income tax either. He has been told this by the Supreme Court. There are refunds going out from the USA Treasury. Either the bastard is crazy as hell or he is still trying to get his way around the USA Constitution which is also crazy as hell.

Congress getting the picture yet!

Thank you to the USA House. The problem is Trump's veto and overcoming it.

In testimony to Congress Hegseth he feels confident they are in a safe zone with a renewed war with Iran. I believe Hegseth's statement about renewing a war is in violation of the Rule of Law.

The War Powers Resolution (WPR) (click here), first adopted in 1973 over the veto of President Richard Nixon, establishes presidential reporting requirements and parliamentary procedures intended to reaffirm the constitutional role of Congress in committing the United States into armed conflict abroad. The existence of these fast-track procedures provide an opportunity for Members of Congress to obtain a vote on—or more often in relation to—legislation that either authorizes the presidential use of U.S. Armed Forces or directs their removal from hostilities. When legislation has been introduced pursuant to the WPR, the House and Senate have often chosen to structure consideration in ways other than those prescribed by the statute....

One report, not two. Sixty days, not every time Trump gets the itch to punitively use the USA military. It is NOT a mercenary force for any president to carry out racketeering on an international level.

...An authorization of the use of military force (AUMF) is subject to expedited consideration during the 60-day termination window that begins when the President reports or was required to report on the use of force. An authorizing bill or joint resolution must be introduced within the first 30 calendar days of this 60-day period....

There is no viable strategy for an attack on Iran. It's geography alone is prohibitive to any military invasion. Hegseth is not the man to lead the USA military if such a measure was ever tired by Trump.

 If propaganda is the goal of Trump and the GOP then they will carry it out to allow for the enormous spending for the military. Trump is naive enough to believe a military draft after the Midterm elections will bring about an end to any future problems with Iran. He is wrong. Americans are already dead and haven't put a foot within the borders of Iran. Iran is not disarmed as Iraq was in that illegal war. Iran will never disarm now. Trump's administration is not trustworthy.

July 23, 2026

By Garrett Downs

Congress on Thursday (click here) split on advancing a pair of war powers resolutions aimed at forcing President Donald Trump to abandon his war with Iran, as the conflict escalates into a deadly new phase and oil tops $100 a barrel.

The moves were the first vote since Trump informed Congress that he restarted the war with Iran following the breakdown of peace negotiations. The conflict’s revival after weeks of a shaky ceasefire comes just months before the U.S. midterm elections. It threatens to scramble the majority Republicans’ plan to maintain their razor-thin majorities.

The Senate on Thursday voted 47-49 to kill a joint resolution under the War Powers Act to force Trump to end hostilities in Iran. That chamber’s action follows a 214-208 House vote earlier in the day to approve a similar measure under the War Powers Act....

Untrustworthy in that Trump does not follow the Rule of Law. He was never supposed to assassinate the leaders of another country.

The Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies (click here) (also known by its acronym, the BESA Center) is an independent, non-partisan think tank conducting policy-relevant research on Middle Eastern and global strategic affairs, particularly as they relate to the national security and foreign policy of Israel and regional peace and stability....

...When the latest but probably (click here) not the last Iran war started on February 28, 2026, the first victims, for once, were not innocent bystanders but rather Iran’s rulers and executioners: the supreme dictator Ali Khamenei, Chief of the General Staff and head of Iran’s Armed Forces General Abdolrahim Mousavi, Minister of Defense General Aziz Nasirzadeh, Head of Military Research and Development Hossein Jabal Amelian, his predecessor Brigadier General Reza Mozaffari Nia, the Minister of Intelligence, his deputy for Israel affairs Yahya Hosseini Panjaki, other officials, and private citizen Mojtaba Khamenei—son of Ali Khamenei but utterly unqualified for the emphatically non-hereditary supreme leader position. Mojtaba has not been seen since the bombing and is likely mutilated if still alive....

End this thing before it gets out of hand and the entire Middle East is on fire. Israel has a plan in case of such escalation. Now, in anticipation of being able to continue his aggression Trump wants to give Saudi Arabia nuclear capacity. He cannot do that without the express consent of the USA Congress. He can negotiate an agreement, and sign it, but, the ultimate law must be passed by Congress.

Any nuclear capacity is not a government activity alone. The Congress has to provide for it and the private sector will receive the funding and financial benefits. Does anyone actually think the Saudis will actually see a nuclear reactor built yet alone any opportunity for centrifuges. Already the Saudis are daunted by the Houthis. It was not long ago the Saudis were involved in a war that did not go well. Who was it then, Yemen? It was. The return of such warring parties will not go well for Saudi Arabia. It nearly went well last time.

What is Hegseth going to do? There aren't enough American soldiers to go around. The Trump administration continues to widen the war theater. Trump alone and his faux ambitions is the biggest threat to the USA national security. 

This aggression by the Houthis is directly Trump's fault. He is spawning more and more battle ready jihadists.

The U.S. war with Iran could yet become a conflict (click here) defined by two maritime chokepoints, analysts have warned, with the under-fire regime in Tehran seeking to leverage its regional "Axis of Resistance" allies to throttle international trade and raise the economic costs of the American campaign.

This week, the Iran-aligned Houthi rebels in Yemen -- who since 2014 have been locked in a conflict with the internationally-recognized Yemeni government, which is backed by Saudi Arabia -- announced the start of a maritime embargo on Saudi Arabia, following weeks of escalating tensions over planned flights between Houthi-controlled Yemeni capital Sanaa and Iran.

The embargo puts into focus Saudi Arabia's western coast along the Red Sea, which is bordered at its southern end by the Bab el-Mandeb Strait -- only around 18 miles wide at its narrowest point. On its eastern side is southwestern Yemen, parts of which are controlled by Houthi forces....

Tehran has a population alone of 9.6 million people. End this mess with Trump. The USA never wins these wars. People die. The people of Iran will suffer and die in large numbers if Trump thinks nuclear ambitions is the way forward. The Iranians will not allow nuclear escalation. 

Iran demographics (click here)

The USA Congress assessment (click here) for nuclear capabilities of Iran. It is inconclusive. A war cannot be declared based on nuclear capabilities if it doesn't exist. 

Since the early 2000s, Tehran's construction of gas centrifuge uranium enrichment facilities has generated widespread concern in Congress that Tehran is pursuing nuclear weapons. According to past U.S. intelligence assessments, Tehran had the capacity to produce nuclear weapons at some point but had halted its nuclear weapons program and had not mastered all of the necessary technologies for building such weapons....

Trump does nothing but lie. The IAEA has not been on the ground in Iran since Trump decided Iran was the best country in the Middle East to hate. Enough of this.

How do billionaires express their morality?

 

Is every American working as they want to be?

The published unemployment rate (click here).

What astounds me is the disregard for Americans employment by this administration. The job numbers are not great. People fall out of the job market depending on the availability of jobs they are trained or educated to do. 

The spike in unemployment with Trump vs. the Great Recession (click here). That was the COVID-19 unemployment rate. The Congress passed a gap measure to supplement unemployment in the USA. For 2025 and 2026 it is creeping back up again.

Is every American satisfied with their employment and income vs. cost of living?

Are Gen Xers happy?

July 23, 2018

By Richard Fry

Few American homeowners (click here) were spared from the broad housing collapse a decade ago, but Generation Xers were hit particularly hard. Newer to the housing market, more likely to be buying at peak prices and taking on more mortgage debt to buy their homes, they lost more wealth than other generations. But a new Pew Research Center analysis of Federal Reserve data finds that Gen Xers are the only generation of households to recover the wealth they lost during the Great Recession....

Why is this important? Because they have been, in the past, resilient. More than resilient, they have been industrious within their own lives within the USA experience. They had opportunity to return them to a comfortable status. Today, SSI is under threat without any promise of resolving any short falls.

The Congress just approved enormous military spending. Why isn't the same spending occurring to rescue the SSI accounts of Americans? The Gen Xers are going to need SSI. Will it be there for them? Right now, the SSI accounts are saying 2035 to a half in all SSI incomes. Generation X has done their part. They have contributed all their lives. Hello?

Generation X has the most pessimistic view (click here) of the economy, and worry they don’t have enough money stored away for retirement, according to a newly released study.
This age group was born between 1965 and 1980, making them around 46 to 61 years old.
Americans can start to receive their Social Security retirement benefits as early as 62 years old, so it makes sense that Gen X would start thinking more heavily about retirement....

Was Gabriel Perez acting on his own or did he carry out insider research and trading with Trump's interests in mind?

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is looking for public comment on it's Whistleblower Rules (click here). The general public needs to look at these rules and decide if they need to be changed and in what ways. if the public does not get involved there is a better than 50 percent chance the new rules will be punitive toward whistleblowers.

WASHINGTON - The federal agency (click here) that regulates prediction markets is investigating President Donald Trump’s longtime teleprompter operator for potential insider trading, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

The sources said White House employee Gabriel Perez made trades on the prediction site Kalshi that were flagged for possible insider activity. The trades were on “mention markets,” where users can bet on which words and phrases that public figures, including Trump, will say at speeches and events....

The myth of capitalism

The millionaire-billionaires of the world actually believe they are the most intelligent of all people. The proof as they believe is the size of their wallet. 

The truth is, the only thing they have right is the power of their money and the intelligent talent they hire to keep it. Their hired help are the intelligent people. NASA and MIT hold some of the most precious brain trust in the world along with universities. That is true intelligence and achievement. It is not measured in dollars, but, in the sophistication of an advanced society.

Congress is not responsible enough for what is occurring with this country.

The Republican majority is stuck in basically intimidation and inexperience in knowing how to handle racketeering. The USA House is completely out of control when it comes to military spending. They drank the Kool-Aid and Kissed the Ring. Netanyahu and Trump have decided they can do any damn thing they want so long as they appear to be trying to destroy the NATO Alliance while worshipping Putin. 

Another $1.4 trillion? The first spending hasn't been accounted for and Trump is running a racketeering game on Congress. Instead of reining in the dilusional Dictator-King they decided anarchy via the White House gaming of the system is the best route to the Midterm elections, including corruption of the voting system. That is how much the US House is playing with fire. They don't care about the Constitution either. They don't know how to handle Trump so they simply don't.

...The final bill includes a variety of conservative provisions (click here) aimed at solidifying GOP support — including renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War, blocking coverage for gender-affirming care and making it easier for troops to carry their personal firearms on military bases.

Republican leaders also attached their election overhaul backed by Trump, known as the SAVE America Act, at the behest of hard-line members who previously blocked the defense bill.

The typically bipartisan support for the legislation — one of the few major bills to become law each year — broke down early on as Democrats declined to endorse Trump’s record-breaking budget without guardrails on the Iran war, strikes against suspected drug smuggling boats in Latin America, the deployment of National Guard troops to U.S. cities and other contentious administration policies.

Compromise defense legislation is unlikely to materialize until after the midterm elections....

I swear Republicans are suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.

Hegseth is Trump's puppet and he likes that way. He has not a clue what he is doing so long as he is doing what Donald says to do. This is the man who called President Zelensky by the name of the Russian King of the Oligarchs.

So far Hegseth has sent two naval vessels he put aground in the Caribbean for repairs. The Gerald Ford nearly burned to the ground. There are innumberable jets destroyed, not by the enemy, but, by Hegseth. Hegseth openly admitted in testimony he is bankrupting the country and he simply said send more money.

Why send more money? He is destroying the military without the enemy lifting a finger.

HERE IS SOME REALITY.

It is impossible to fight the Iran War.

(click here for graph)

This is the Shia Crescent. It exists for reasons of faith. But, it also exists with men who fight the civilized world. They have been oppressed until the Iranian Revolution. Under the deceased Ayatollah the Crescent and countries in the region were provided munitions and missiles. The USA military and Israel would stop the shipments. 

We are witnessing the arming of the Crescent along with any other Islamic man who wants to fight. Does anyone believe this will ever end? No It will be the end of Israel as Israel is already building walls between the occupied Gaza and the Gaza left to Palestinians. There are also settlers headed for Lebanon. And what does Lebanon say? Lebanon's leadership has stated they cannot fight Israel so they have to accept it's fate at the hand of Israel and do it's bidding in the country of Lebanon. That is not an alliance, that is danger with the mask of surrender. It should not have happened, but, did because Trump threw the weight of the USA behind Israel's occupation of Lebanon.

Don't forget Iraq is religiously aligned with Iran.

There is no way to end this war. There are enormous numbers of Islamic men in sympathy with Iran as it just buried it's leadership. Not only that but they buried and continue to mourn the two military leaders assassinated by Trump in his first term. 

Disengage from it now or pay the cost of trillions of dollars flowing through the fingers of Americans EVERY YEAR. Johnson's House has proven there is no will to end the atrocity that is Donald John Trump. This is the new reality of the USA and the Republicans WANT to corrupt elections in order to maintain their hold not just on the power of the USA military to use as it wishes on any given day at any given hour, but, to harness the work force (horses) of the American economy to fund the damn bastards anarchy.

They do not know what they are doing? They are in a failure spiral and they can't see the forest for the trees.

Donald Trump removed any competent member of the USA military leadership and then replaced them with incompetents. So, he not only has no real insight to the best operations of the USA military, he does not have anyone that can formulate answers to the problems they face. Trump has literally destroyed the capabilities of the USA military except to kill at will. That is Trump's answer. Kill everyone, call it demolition, take the land, and build hotels and casinos and prove to the world, the world is wrong and Trump has been the genius his entire time alive while he did nothing but build casinos that failed.

The Trumps are delusional idiots existing to spend money they abscond from every government, business, and organization ever built in the world. The entire world is the empire of the Trumps for the sake of their bank accounts. They have no real answers, they only pretend to. Not that they believe their own delusion. They do. If they didn't it wouldn't work.

Melania is attempting to turn a man into a foreign country. She believes he should not be allowed the freedom of speech of a journalist/author, by sanctioning him. Melania doesn't care about the USA Constitution. She does not recognize the First Amendment. A human being can write or speak anything he or she wants. It is guaranteed by the First Amendment. A person cannot be sanctioned into silence. If Melania is so very aggrieved she has to carry out revenge by what was stated or written then there are the civil courts. There is no sanctioning the First Amendment. The media is in the business of business. That means they are selling whatever the public is interested in reading or hearing. Of all people, the Trumps have to know "infortainment" has treated them well. The Trumps thrive on tabloid journalism. Hello? Just because they don't like the tabloid journalism of the political left, doesn't mean it can be silenced.

Melania and Donald do not want to give up the power and money. It is their survival. Got that? Survival. They have no talent. They have glamour and now they have right wing White Guys trying to turn the country back to the fifties, remove the vote from women and minorities and declare the USA Constitution dead. (If the Civil War was won by the South, the USA Constitution would end.)

That is what they call survival. Melania and Donald are the glamour. The White Supremacists are the footmen. Billionaires like all that chaos just fine.

Americans have to end this thing once and for all. Get rid of the Republicans. It is the only way.

$1.4 trillion dollars? You've got to be joking. Look for the $1.776 billion in a different form, Donald has his eyes on it.

The Trumps are criminals and that is their Achilles Heel.

Not impeachment, imprisonment.

A bomb in NYC

Who didn’t see that coming? Oh. Wait. Homeland Security didn’t see it coming. 

Trump Dictates

Hegseth has no answers about anything because Trump is dictating military movements from the Oval Office. The voice of the Master is all that matters. No one puts Trump in his place. 

The Trump administration has no plan. Trump uses the military as a cudgel, not a military. One day the Caribbean and the next day the Persian Gulf. 

Trump removed the people capable of maintaining a strong and purposeful military and national defense. He closed down office after office with DOGE and now expects the country and its national security agencies to run smoothly. This has absolutely nothing to do with anything except high levels of an incompetent administration. 

There is no more war capacity, Hegseth and Trump are bankrupting the government.

This is Donald Trump racketeer. He ruined his own administration by putting on a show not carrying out governance. When is this Congress going to do it’s job?

Trump’s Tariffs are unconstitutional

Tariffs are to balance trade.

Tariffs are not punitive.
