www.janefonda.com (click here) This year at the Traverse City Film Festival (click here) in Traverse City, Michigan two of the country's most incredible movers and shakers are coming together. Jane Fonda is the special guest at the festival. The timing is perfect and it will be magic to watch the interview of Jane Fonda by Michael Moore. It will be a festival not soon forgotten. This is The first festival since Michael Moore finished his Broadway hit, sell-out production. Come to the festival if you can!
Trump thinks he can make America great by selling out to Putin. Remember how he never cared about national security reports once he became the Republican nominee. Recently, he stated he has an increase to all US veterans receiving retirement and/or disability pay. Veterans believe that is a great idea. They gave him a standing ovation for it, however, they don't see the agenda behind the raise in their monthly income. Veterans will never tolerate the idea of a dictator on American soil and/or strong Russian or Russian-like influence in our government. To even consider such things, to disrespect American National Security will alienate the veterans of the USA. I won't happen once they understand what is occurring. The Mueller Investigation is defamed everyday by Trump, why? Veterans have to understand this is not about politics, it is ABOUT THE COUNTRY. This blog has stated that since the beginning and the country has to respect the investigation and the men and women dedicated to it's final conclusion regardless the length of the investigation.
There is discussion again about the Pebble Mine in Alaska. That was recently decided by the Obama Administration’s EPA. Nothing has changed that would dictate any change. The Pebble Mine is in a sensitive area that has direct impact on the salmon fisheries. Those fisheries are vital to this country. Any reengagement of putting mining interests over that of the fisheries is corruption and the USA can not afford to lose this Alaskan fishery. The Pacific fisheries off Southern California are chronically over fished during Republican Administrations in DC and collapse as well.
Fox News is becoming toxic to the USA democracy. They are taking the speeches by Trump literally without fact checking. They don’t cover all aspects of the politics and accuse all and I mean all other news outlets of being primarily negative about Trump. In particular in Trump’s speech to Veterans he mentioned a satellite image of a North Korean missle site being dismantled. He also stated he was appreciative of “Chairman Kim” for that. Some really good reporting following that speech pointed to the fact that particular missle site was obsolete in that it was a liquid fuel site rather than a solid fuel missle site. This information is in Trump’s hands and he uses it for PR purposes while he seeks to disable free speech through a well educated media. He is dangerous and so is Fox News. The use of classified information is not for politics or for Trump to have a feel good moment with Putin and the Russians. Donald Trump has issues of toxic narcissism and Fox News has enough media penitration to sink and destroy this democracy as Trump grows his stong man dictatorship based in a replica of communist Russia. End of discussion.
