Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

There was nothing to guess. Trump is a criminal. Not just once but 24 times in ONE investigation. The Mueller investigation was getting to close to Trump and Barr shut it down. Jack Smith was simply picking up where others left off.

Since his appointment in May of 2017, (click here) Special Counsel  racked up a lengthy record of court wins, but none of them answered some of the central questions the public had about his investigation into potential collusion between President Donald Trump or his campaign and Russia.

Along with a team of experienced prosecutors and attorneys, the former FBI director has indicted, convicted or gotten guilty pleas from 34 people and three companies, including top advisers to President Trump, Russian spies and hackers with ties to the Kremlin. The charges, which Mueller referenced during his opening statement to the House Judiciary Committee on July 24, range from interfering with the 2016 election and hacking emails to lying to investigators and tampering with witnesses....

Did Russia seek to influence the election to benefit Trump? 

You betcha it did. Ask the NRA.

The business interests of Trump were reviewed and realized by the Late Robert Mueller in his investigation to the relationship between Trump and Russia. Perhaps, Jack Smith realized what the Late Mueller knew. The charges dropped by Barr that Mueller had settled on was about the business interests of Trump. Reversing the legitimate charges brought by Mueller is purely corruption. These charges accumulated long before the classified documents were hauled to Florida. Trump was actively pursuing business interests while in the presidency.

Another curious filing by the Department of Justice (click here) should not be lost amid news about COVID-19. In yet another reversal in a case initiated by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, DOJ filed a motion this week to dismiss charges against two Russian businesses.

The Justice Department has already filed revised memoranda seeking more lenient sentences for associates of President Donald Trump. And now, it has filed a motion to dismiss the charges against Concord Management and Consulting LLC and Concord Catering, companies run by a man known as “Putin’s chef.”

In 2018, Mueller indicted the two businesses along with 13 Russian individuals and the Internet Research Agency, alleging conspiracy to defraud the United States by engaging in a disinformation campaign to interfere with the 2016 presidential election....

Fast forward to today:

...Some of the classified documents (click here) were also "so sensitive that only six people in ​the entire U.S. government had access to them," while one box of documents was scanned, stored on a Trump aide's laptop for nearly ​two years and uploaded to a cloud, raising further security concerns, Raskin added.

The newly released information also showed that ⁠Trump apparently took classified documents on board a June 2022 flight to his New Jersey golf club and showed a classified map to then top campaign ​official Susie Wiles and potentially others, according to his letter. Wiles now serves as White House chief of staff....

Donald Trump finds it very convenient to be president and having control to instill fear internationally and domestically. There is absolutely no reason to trust this administration by anyone. They are corrupt to the core and impossible to call honest negotiators in peace or ceasefire talks.

Trump doesn't care about international standards or laws, he wants what he wants in the way he wants it. He is always looking for leverage rather than common ground. He has to be stopped. He is turning the world into the hell he believes is essentially to his best outcome.

There is no looking the other way and waiting out his years left in office. 

Jack Smith was too much a patriot for Trump do deal with at the level of corruption Trump enjoys. Jack Smith knew the truth and was putting the pieces of the puzzle together opened by the Late Robert S. Mueller.

Imagine loving nature so much there is joy in bird song.

The Boreal Forest (click here) is one of the last great intact forest systems on Earth and the heart of North America’s bird nursery. Spanning from Alaska to Newfoundland, it supports nearly half of the continent’s common bird species during nesting and migration. 

Today, Indigenous governments and organizations are advancing visionary efforts to protect these lands and waters across Canada. Their leadership could conserve more than 100 million acres of Boreal habitat, ensuring this essential ecosystem continues to sustain birds for generations to come.

No one cared until they did.

...An updated lawsuit (click here) filed in November names House Speaker Mike Schultz as a defendant, along with more than a dozen other current and former state officials. The suit alleges Schultz worked with fellow state lawmakers and officials at SITLA and the Utah Department of Natural Resources to keep the land in state hands and to pass a new law “in retaliation” against the tribe.

The lawsuit contends Schultz, while House majority leader in 2019, threatened a trust lands employee, telling him, “sell it to the Tribe and see what happens to you.” That employee, Tim Donaldson, went on to become director of the Utah Land Trusts Protection and Advocacy Office.

In 2022, Donaldson filed a complaint alleging the sale process was rigged and was terminated from his job the following day, the lawsuit states.

The 2024 state law allows the Department of Natural Resources preferential treatment in the sale of other large blocks of school trust land topping more than 5,000 acres. Its sponsor, Rep. Casey Snider, R-Paradise, is also a defendant in the suit....

On a sunny afternoon (click here) on the shores of Trout Lake in northern Wisconsin, a Catholic sister and a Tribal president sat together at a table and made history.

Two years ago, the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration, a Catholic congregation, had approached the Lac Du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, a part of the Ojibwe Nation, and the original caretakers of the land, with an unheard of proposition: Would they like a piece of their land back?

The question took the tribe by surprise, said Araia Breedlove, their public relations director. They had never had a private property owner offer up a piece of land, much less Catholic sisters. But after ironing out the details, the two parties were able to close the deal last Friday....

...The first white people (click here) to encounter the Coeur d’Alene’s were French trappers and traders. It was one of these Frenchmen who found the tribe to be vastly experienced and skilled at trading, thus the name “Coeur d’Alene,”meaning “heart of the awl.”...

COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho – The Coeur d’Alene Tribe (click here) announced on Tuesday that 12,750 acres of land have been returned to Tribal ownership following their recent purchase from Stimson Lumber.

In the past two years, 42,000 acres of Tribal land have been re-acquired from Stimson Lumber....

This is blatant racism.

We recognize Christopher Columbus as a wayfairing founder of the immigrant population of Americas. The first European to move beyond the square/flat earth theory. 

We gave the guy a national holiday. The Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. 

But, this statue is a political demand by the racists loyal to Trump. They are scared Native Americans actually can claim all the land for themselves and erase the USA from history. Such an act by any other people would be considered genocide. What a shame the modern world conquered Small Pox, huh? 

The entire political movement Trump represents is full of hate of the other.

The move against the Kennedy Center for the Arts is about the same myopic political view. What President would not stand for racism and dared to move equality further? Yep. The late John Fitzgerald Kennedy. He was assassinated in 1963. The Voting Rights Act passed into law under Johnson in 1964. 

All of this mess by Trump is an attempt to erase history to Pre-Revolutionary War when a King ruled 13 colonies. That is what the statue is all about as well as the Kennedy Center. This mess was conceived by The Federalist Society. It is rather amazing to me to realize how often the conservative judges find solace in “The Federalist Papers (click
here). What are they afraid of? 

The USA military is not a mercenary unit.

The USA military is a sophisticated and able defense force. It isn’t or ever intended for mercenary work. Trump is using the USA military to do favors for those as corrupt and cruel as he is. 

Mercenary soldiers receive their pay directly. In the case of Trump he is showered with gifts, money , and corruption in exchange for American people’s defense force. It was very easy for Hegseth to become the Secretary of War. The work has already done for him.

The USA military is hijacked by a racketeer who would like everyone to believe his aggression is necessary for world peace. 

Trump is do very wrong. What he is conducting is genocide and racism. 

The USA, as many other nations, has a no assassinations policy. I don’t care the ignorant justification for any of Trump’s killings. Trump has used the USA military to assassinate Iranian leaders with bombs. That is murder.

The real insult to the American people is that Trump never paid taxes, but, yet he finds our military a convenient tool to his global racketeering.

Trump has no right to use our military for his private wars of vengeance.

Leave the Democrats alone

They are doing important but, unpopular with MAGA, work. The party members are under attack and the result is violence. Until the violence stops unnecessary criticism should be met with ethical balance. I am certain if Senate Minority Leader has peers that are unhappy; he most certainly knows about it. It isn’t necessary to inflame the situation further. If violence was not erupting in such deadly ways I could understand the public display of offenses, but, that is not the case.

Senators Schumer is a well seasoned leader and knows what he is doing. I am certain his office and staff in DC receive more than their ample share of email and otherwise. Perhaps Senator Schumer would consent to an interview about the work they are doing and their goals to protect human life. I am sure there is a lot he has to say about popular topics like the Trump tirade in the Middle East, the entanglement of MBS in the demands for the USA to escalate the conflict, the cost of living in the USA, housing and the failing job rate. Simply criticizing him without a chance for him to answer those criticisms only gives him the appearance of hiding something. 

I ask media outlets to be cognizant of the dangers Democrats are facing everyday and measure the way that is approached without inhibiting free speech.

He is doing a great job.

Consider the source of the criticism. They are afraid of Senator Schumer. The man from New York.

Very wise decision.

It is time to pass sincere immigration reform including Dreamers. Human beings are not political fodder. Patriotic Americans using their First Amendment rights to enforce the U.S. Constitution are not targets. 

The immigration reform act will be titled “The Renee Good and Alex Pretti Act.”

ICE detention centers will be shuttered and reassigned as welcome education and health centers where proper processing of asylum claims will occur with exclusive judicial courts on site.

 (Click here)

Detention Centers are no place for parents.

Detention Centers were unsafe to begin with. Health agencies, either local or state, should take an interest in disease prevention by the center and seek judicial review. 

There is no funding for these facilities. They should be shuttered. Legislation should be introduced to use county jails for immigration detainees. Basically, any immigration agent making an arrest of an illegal immigrant would be required to remand them to local authorities for due process proceedings. It would reduce the enormous budget currently enjoyed by ICE.

It is called racketeering.

The California vote was overwhelming. The California process is so beautiful. It is truly the will of the people. 

In Texas on the other hand the Republican majority was too scared to allow a vote of, by, and for the people (click here).

The Republicans absolutely hate the USA Constitution. It is so much work pushing back in any way possible. The Republicans want the Constitution and Americans out of the way to financially exploit the land.

TSA agents vs. ICE?

They handle people completely differently. 

Their focus is not the same.

TSA have capacity to handle arrests, etc. on the rare occasion it is necessary, but, ICE are instigators of confrontation.

I would not be surprised if there will be demonstrations and whistles at airports, too. 

Good luck with that.

Mars, here we come.

The greatest American story ever told.

This is what Republicans call genital mutilation.

Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld

If one is too ignorant and unsophisticated to know this man, then look it up.

I have no patience for this level of idiotic stupidity!

It is a lie. The Republicans are stating the one true reason for the oppression of The Voting Rights Act is the radical agenda of the Democrats, such as genital mutilation. The arguments Republicans are making is fear and ignorance based while attempting to fill the faithful full of fear.

The Republicans that tolerate the incredibly high incompetence of the Trump administration are using fear based propaganda with absolutely no basis of truth to rob Americans of their voting rights.

Sex Reassignment Surgery has been around since the 1920s. All of a sudden the sexual urges of Americans will be driven by those who want a different gender identity. The Republicans believe propaganda is so powerful it drives the tiny brains of the majority of Americans.

Therefore, American children will be prescribed a sexual identity to satisfy the sexual desires of the LGBTQ community ONLY. That is not only bizarre idiocy, it is an insult to every member of the LGBTQ community.

The Nazi Party of Germany became so controlling of “the message” it became truth to them and they removed Dr. Hirshfeld’s license to practice and shuttered his research.

There is a descriptor of genital mutilation that Republicans simply ignore.

…non-medical reasons…

Genital mutilation is a crime.

Sex reassignment ANYTHING is therapeutic.  

I don’t know about anyone else but for all my life I have been who I am and NEVER CAUGHT THE GAY GENE. At least Republicans believe gender is based in genetics. 

MAGA has been around since Reagan and they have always believed the wealth of a person proves the intelligence of a person. The Democrats as a political party have been around since before Reagan and have always believed every human being has the potential to aspire to the American Dream if they chose to achieve it.

One party is about control of personal wealth hidden in Biblical teachings (I do believe Jesus said, “Give to Caesar what is his.” Doesn’t sound like valuing of wealth to me.) and the other party is about the quality of life of the entire population of the USA and what is possible to achieve goals to that end.

The SAVE Act is unconstitutional, full of propaganda and lies to make it appear legitimate and should be shelved for the hideous attempt to throw the 2026 Midterm elections into so much chaos proper determination of elected representatives is impossible.

Republicans are so demented in their values they no longer believe in democracy or freedom. They believe in Donald Trump to carry out his racketeering and deliver the country into the possession of a hate filled king with a global military tirade stolen from American Taxpayers.

Republicans are amoral. Their only god and deserving citizens are money.

Go get ‘em Senator Schumer.

 The very best result from the partial government shutdown would be to isolate the operations of the violent agencies that even judges have said are out of line. Do Republicans want to protect American without jeopardizing the USA Constitution? It is a yes or no question.

The ICE agents roving the country have consistently violated the Rule of Law, the Fourth Amendment as well as valued police standards of practice. 

ICE agents are not trained for TSA work. If they are trained at all. A Rexas Democrat is complaining it is more difficult now for families to locate their loved ones at ICE Detention facilities. There is a simple answer to that, close detention facilities.

Bigger than life. A Great American.

He will be missed. There was only one Robert Mueller.

His system of national security kept us safe until the recent administration actively dismissed agents and scoffed at the rules.

National Security is failing because of incompetence because

There are no words to describe the compromised state of the USA.

This is a lie, besides being incompetent. Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump spoke many, many times and you mean to tell me there was no indication Iran had this capacity and focus?

Trump and Hegseth hijacked the USA military and began to use it’s enormous capacity to carry out their international racketeering using the USA military as a bludgeon.

continued.. 

This is enemy surveillance.

The USA has been witnessing these drone incursions for sometime now. It appeared the first incursion was in New Jersey. These are enemy drones initially for surveillance. But, the surveillance is not benign. Attacks are being planned which mean our enemies have been busy building airfields and/or floating flat tops or submarines in international waters to conduct these incursions.

The attacks being planned appear to be focused on military institutions and high density population civilian areas.

How about a little recap.

There is a high degree of incompetence with the Trump administration to the point where criminality is valued.

But, as to the military:

Two Navy vessels were involved in friendly accidents and were required to be drydocked for repairs. 

The Venezuelan theater is an abject failure. Yes, Maduro is in the New York City prison along with his wife and they have faced their first arraignment. But, the freely elected president has yet to take her place and the next inline with the Maduro government is in power. As if a payment were required Trump stole the oil from a tanker and sold it. There were also extrajudicial murders.

The only person in the Middle East that wasn’t surprised by the attacks by the USA was Netanyahu. There was absolutely no preparation for the aggression into Iran by the USA. Embassy staff wasn’t told and in turn every tourist from the Free World was in the line of fire. 

The Mideast theater never saw preparedness. The Kuwaitis were never brought on board and as a result three expensive USA fighter jets were shot down by friendly fire.

Then for a completely unknown reason the USA jets had to fuel up in mid flight. There were two aircraft carriers in the region. As a result of deregulation by Hegseth all safety procedures were dissolved and the fuel tankers were in frequent flight rotation. As a result of that grossly uninformed decision making one tanker crashed to the ground while another was taking flight. It isn’t Newatk International Airport with a control tower and personnel tracking the entire mess. I don’t know why I even brought that up because within days of taking office a helicopter and jet were in flames on the ground in DC.

With all these failures and Trump’s knee jerk decision making our allies still willing to be loyal to the USA. Their decision making is correct. Ceasefire and then protection of ships transiting the Persian Gulf and passing through the Strait of Hormuz. 

Iran is not a disarmed Iraq.

Iran is not a grossly poor Afghanistan where soldiers were greater by villagers with donkeys.

Iran is a Shi’ite homeland with its own resources and allies. The Free World has never been welcome in the Persian Gulf where pirates make a living and Iranian zodiacs chase USA military ships. All of a sudden a completely incompetent administration believes they can change all that while hijacking the USA military. Any civilized human being would be in great danger no matter the armor plating to think a ceasefire wasn’t absolutely necessary.

Trump and Hegseth need to be reasonable and get rid of the idea they are accomplishing great feats of warfare. They aren’t. Our defense contractors, MIT, and the American people’s tax dollar created a defense that is unchallenged and it was hijacked by racketeers. No one voted for this. No one.
