Striking fear into the hearts of a nation, I suppose.

Donald John Trump has an alias. Trump’s alias is John Barron.

This has been his MO whenever he tried to change public opinion. The guy is our president and a real bozo. Can you imagine playing games with the people of this country to covertly act against them?

The Republican majority Congress has a real problem. They have a real racketeer in the White House who believes he should be king.

Hello?

Congress is going to restructure DHS, end the charade, and protect the people of this country from Trump’s world view. No more funding until the people are safe. No more military goon squads in our streets.

This is not funny. Trump won a second term because Elon Musk bought into the racketeering and spent more money on Trump’s election than any one donor in the history of this country. The Republican majority Congress has looked the other way for the past year and this is where we are with dead civilians, traumatized public, and acts of inhumanity in removing healthcare and expertise from the lives of Americans.

The Fifth Amendment does not extend to evidence.

Ghislaine was a willing participant in the exploitation of girls. She is a convicted criminal who saw an opportunity when Trump was elected for a second term. I have to wonder why? Why would a convicted human trafficker find solace in President Trump? What do they have in common to hide? 

Considering the number of girls involved and the high profile clients I would expect a president of the USA be demanding the complete unredacted release of every document of the Epstein files. 

Also, we now know Epstein was a high roller within the one collapsed Wall Street firm leading the financial collapse of 2007-2008. There is obviously a far wider investigation needed in all this. 

So.

Trump wants close this down and agrees with Maxwell. That is very curious. Trump received federal monies after the financial collapse to assist with losses and to rebuild. 

There are a whole lot of questions.

The trials that never were held


No one can accuse the Biden White House  and DOJ of anything except following the facts. The materials at Maralago were voluminous. The evidence to the reckless 
transport out of the White House to prevent them from being archived is overwhelming.

Donald John Trump in his first session in office was fast and loose with classified documents when it came to Putin and Xi
(click here). The concern was real, especially after the Trump insurrection of January 6, 2021. 

There is nothing wrong with referrals to DOJ from the President. 

President Biden was not seeking false charges against Trump and had already made it clear he would not run again. July 21, 2024 (click here).

If the Office of the President was communicating with DOJ about Maralogo, it was all factual. When charges were filed by Jack Smith it was not revenge politics as Patel currently would like to distract from the current facts about Trump and Epstein and minor girls.

What is the claim? Biden knew about the raid at Maralago? So? Trump had proven to be untrustworthy. I am not surprised the FBI, DOJ, and the Office of the President were communicating with each other. It would be worrisome if they did not. If Biden concealed the fact it is because a degree of secrecy needed to be maintained to protect evidence and Due Process. The last thing Smith needed was some zealous political operative attempting to destroy evidence.

Finally, progress.

There are many ways to proceed from here. The best way is for Democrats to formulate a priority of funding for DHS in priority to national security and the well being of people. No one wants illegal immigrants, but, they are not so much the problem as roving DHS agents with military weapons.

So, as an advocate, I think the best way forward is for Democrats to talk directly to the people stating they want to prioritize refunding the department based on the safety of citizens. That means funding essential services such as the Coast Guard. 

Congress can designer legislate the refunding of DHS. Designer legislation can also limit the reassignment of agents. The Department can be required to allow agents to work after completing necessary training in Quantico. 

All the new agents are not necessary. ICE is heavy in personnel and they can be dismissed. A command authority of long serving agents that may have to be recalled back to employment can revitalize DHS with reviews of all the departments to be refunded and restructure requirements for agents, their training, their deployment, and disciplinary procedures for rouge agents. 

DHS is not the law, only enforcement. People are to be guaranteed Due Process and complete safety through that process.

I do not see just a few modifications especially realizing the disarray the department is in and it‘s willingness to disrupt American lives. There is no respect for human life in the way the department is being run.  ICE is about arresting the undocumented WITHOUT destroying the country from the inside out. Considering how much disarray exists in deportations it is going to be a long time to sort through who is to return to the USA. That is going to require more judges and courts to move these processes along.

I don’t see the department returning to the size it is now. It is far too large and requires too much funding. A lot has transpired in transportation since September 11, 2001 and all the reasons DHS was consolidated must be reviewed.

The special programs in the news article below clearly demonstrates how far we have come in perfecting security for travelers. These programs should be regarded as successes in the return of trust and security. Basically, to what extent is DHS as a single department still necessary? Such consolidation of power is proving to be a hazard rather than an enhancement.

Congress was wrong to put so much money into a wayward political objective. Congress doesn’t have to apologize, they need to get it right. DHS is NOT to return to its inhumane capacity ever again. It was consolidated to protect Americans, not place them in the line of fire. If Republicans can’t see the errors in trusting this administration then refuse to fund it at all.

Responsibly reduce the power within DHS, return function and not brutality, and cut funding to reasonable levels. All this will require new legislation of the department and possibly removing it from the status of cabinet level with new functional departments at the table instead. They can all still talk to each other within new organization, but, no one Secretary should have such consolidated power, personnel or budget.

ICE may have to be disbanded into State authority only. It can be funded federally and become a division of the State Bureau of Investigation. Customs can move to a responsibility of the Border Patrol with proper personnel and funding.

Citizenship is necessary to vote.

 That is existing law. 


The SAVE Act passed by the House.

Or whatever it is called, is a poll tax and prohibited by the 24th Amendment.

A birth certificate if required to register by law has to be provided free to every American. A birth certificate already states where and when the birth occurred. Nothing else is necessary.

If a married couple is affiliated with a name change and proof is required by the state, then the state must issue a free marriage certificate when the marriage is completed. 

If such measures are passed into law, there will have to be an initiation period of two years while documents are printed and distributed. 

If passports are required, the same paradigm is true. The problem is a passport is a federally issued document and can be held as an invalid measure of citizenship by the states. Birth certificates are state issued.

Tariff yo-yo

When reading through the Supreme Court decision it became obvious there was no investigation leading up to tariff executive orders. It was evident because the tariffs would go up one day, down the next, up two days later and in the case of China it culminated in something like 135 percent. 

Trump is doing the same thing again. Ten percent didn’t make him happy so within hours of the original tariff declaration he raised it to 15 percent. It is crazy stuff. 

It is obvious there is no investigation leading. If there is no investigation, then what the hell is he basing this mess on? 

The Supreme Court made the right decision.

Alito, Kavanaugh, and Thomas are the corrupt justices.

We now know it exists and why Chief Justice Roberts wrote the majority opinion himself.

I think Justice Gorsuch is worried enough about the country that he spoke out about the danger that exists. I appreciate his honesty.

We all have an interest in the steadfastness of this democracy and the national security it guarantees. Freedom is important in all aspects.

The three dissenting justices will never be viewed the same. They have tainted their reputations forever. I am not surprised about Alito. He is a partisan through and through. The other two are a surprise to some extent. But, there is always Ginny and pillow talk. Kavanaugh carved out an identity that secured his nomination and to that end he holds allegiance rather than the oath to the USA Constitution.

We have a new balance of understanding. I always take the three what is called Liberal justices seriously. I appreciate their opinions always.

The justices are given life long terms for a reason. Evidently, that should be reviewed. Some can’t make the important calls in siding with our founding documents. That is a concern.

Small business and auto industry hurt.

When Trump played his isolation game to “Made in America,” the car industry was immediately affected. Other countries decided the electric cars of China were a great alternative to tariffed American imports. Now, the old agreements with allies and trading partners are no more. The damage is done.

This is the USA now. We cater to the individual. Specialty everything. These products are dense in quality and unique supply chains. These entrepreneurs are of the opinion, the damage is done.

Illegal deportations are growing.

The powers of a dictator does not exist in the USA Constitution.

If Putin and Orban are expecting corruption to win out as in their countries they are very mistaken. The USA is a strong democracy with an infallible constitution. 

End of discussion!

Trump throughout his argument is attempting to push the court into corruption, hence permission of a dictator without the balance of “the people” (the legislative authority). 

The good news, at least for now, is that through its own decisions, both legislative and judicial, Trump’s dictatorial powers are limited by the legislative rights of the people.

The executive branch is contained and what the country is witnessing is racketeering and abuse of power.

The repeated attempt at 10 percent global tariff is illegal. He can pretend to carry out such outrageous acts for as long as the corrupted Republican majority of Congress will allow it. Hence, those Republicans in Congress in either House should be removed of their self-permission to corrupt the country with ruling rhetoric (especially racism) rather than law.

Republicans are capable of upholding The Rule of Law, except this class purchased by Elon Musk. This class of Republicans decided illegal loyalty to cash carrying cronies has more clout than the people whom elected them.

There is no emergency.

A president cannot enact an emergency law unless there is an actual emergency.

Ya just can’t make this stuff up to justify a narcissistic need. 

Trump broke the law. He continues to break the law.

It is unconstitutional.

Donald cannot continue to pretend me has the power to control the global economy.

This is timing

The American Worker?

None of the tariffs have benefited the American workers. There has been enormous contracture of the USA economy. The rhetoric from some Republicans is nothing but lies!

The job rate has been horrible! 

No Justices should be shamed.

Trump is out of control and has been since taking office. Having imposed tariffs personally to leverage power over entire countries including allies are international crimes. I doubt if sanctions against the International Criminal Court will hold up now that his racketeering is obvious.

The crimes are already committed and there is no going back. The Republicans cannot do anything to erase the racketeering of the past year. I am grateful to the international community for having restraint and handling all this peacefully. It could have been a lot worse.

Trump has to be removed from office. He is in the presidency of the United Stated of America to control his personal outcomes financially and legally. It is time to come to terms with all of this. 

Look what he has done. He is an abomination upon humanity and nothing short of it. Today he announced he was going to allow the EPA to return heavy metal pollution into the air of the USA. Acid rain. People will die. There will be lawsuits to stop this outrage under The Clean Air Act. The USA House passed a bill to attempt to control elections on this country. It is all racketeering and outrageous!

Excellent. Correct decision.

This shuts down Trump’s international racketeering operation. The USA Treasury will have to pay back all those tariffs.

The American Consumer will get hit twice by Trump’s racketeering; first paying the higher prices and now in paying back illegal tariffs. Watch the national debt become ridiculous.

This is what happens when voters put their hopes and dreams in the hands of criminals. 

He  cannot impose a percent tariff on top of any existing tariffs that legitimately exist from previous legislation. All this mess can be litigated through USA courts and/or the WTO. 

Trump is a criminal and incompetent and needs to be removed from office. He causes far too much hardship globally and domestically.

The negotiations with Iran have collapsed. No surprise there. During Trump’s first term he resigned from the treaty with Iran about nuclear enrichment (JCPOA) with the P5+1. Now, miraculously Iran is supposed to believe he is earnest in his negotiations after assassination of two Iranian military leaders and bombing facilities that will soon be back to use.

Russia has called for calm in the Middle East with Trump’s radical build up USA fire power. There are many, many reasons Putin is asking all Middle East parties for calm. He doesn’t believe Trump or Hegseth obey international law or dynamics that prevent the world from exploding into war. That is exactly Trump’s goal. 

Trump is an unpredictable madman and needs to be removed from office. The Republican Congress had a chance to rein in Trump over Venezuela and now he has taken the two vote margin to be permission to start a Middle East crisis. Do the Republicans ever do anything right?

Untrustworthy and victimizing policy

There is no medication that repairs a severed spinal cord, or replaces a severed arm or leg. There is no medication that cures concussive injury or brain damage from shrapnel. 

All these are permanent disabilities resulting from combat and/or service to this country. It is completely inexcusable to attempt to create a false narrative otherwise. This policy is fraud. 

I recall a report about a wacko waterbed that cures all problems once a person lies on it. I think they call it , “The Jesus Walk on Waterbed.” This is exactly the problem with all of this administration. They want to sell extremist ideology based in fraud. 

From beginning to end Trump has nothing to offer to Americans except false hope and deranged ideas. I don’t care what department it is, the only people that recognize any benefit from this administration are billionaires and tabloid wackos.

Think about it.

There is only one cure for injecting bleach to kill COVID. Donald Trump. Donald Trump the germophobe of all germophobes wants to destroy COVID by killing all those that have it. That is exactly the outcome to injecting bleach and the president of the USA said it.

What did this country witness with COVID?

What did this country witness with COVID?

What did this country witness with COVID?

Invalidation of science, denial of danger, political COVID parties to spread the virus, and UNNECESSARY natural deaths. It was their time to go. Who were the victims of that deranged culture? Who were they? Antivaxers? People who blame the government for their problems? The unwitting? The uneducated?

Who is Donald Trump’s political base? Who is profiting from this administration? 

And the sane people are supposed to live with this because a majority Republican Party drank the Kool-Aid? I don’t think so.

It has become strange in the USA.

There are children missing in Minnesota. Missing children and dead citizens are not about politics. 

DHS will have to be held accountable for all that and the economic loss to Minnesota. 

While all this damage is being done to communities there are magnificent athletes representing this country. Their accomplishments no matter how minor or how amazing represent the best of us. They speak about their homeland that appears foreign to them. I appreciate the fact they have not disconnected from the factual USA. As I stated, they are the best of us in every way. 

Minnesota needs help in recovery. Spring is coming and tourism will help. People in the USA and across the world have been generous to Renee and Alex’s families. So, there is honor to the dead and we grieve together.
