Another historical disagreement.

Another reason for Trump to try to work a wedge issue to drive allies further apart. The more hostility, the better. Danger time to pick fights with each other.

Now is the time to set differences aside and strengthen alliances. After all, North Korea sent troops to Russia because Russia is running out of people, except of course at the Kremlin.



Elon Musk, the national security threat is feeling powerful.

He, along with most billionaires competing to be trillionaires, have attached themselves to Trump. Trump is an easy president to buy. But, Elon has his own town in Texas. He just opened a school for children. 

I don’t know what the name of the town is, I heard rumors it was being called Monkeytown by the employees that work there. See, that is the reason Musk moved to Texas, there is no morality, only profiteering.

There are standards to prevent cruelty to animals, especially when used in research. Texas doesn’t recognize any of it though. Business is business. I do believe the zoos in Texas meet standards of their peers.

The Biden Administration and a bipartisan Congress…

…could have solved the immigration problems but Trump got scared and feared for his strongest reason for re-election, “fear of the other.”

Trump has no solutions except to satisfy his need to kill and appear powerful. Trump rather kill his problems than pay taxes that solve the problems of the country while upholding the dignity of life. 

Government is not a business.

It is not a cathedral. 

It was never designed to be either. 

It is a place where the common good of the people lie. It is benevolent and not aggressive against the people. Government relies on law and not the power of violence that it owns by its very nature.

When Eric Holder went to Ferguson, Missouri he didn’t send in the National Guard or the military to govern. He didn’t declare a police state. He didn’t disrupt government or governing, he assessed the response of government to the people and determined it to be too harsh and outside the law of any real purpose. Attorney General Holder held those that governed responsible for their misdeeds in carrying out their responsibility.

The violence that existed across the country was in response of the cultural hubris that exonerated Kyle Rittenhouse. Those unarmed men he killed never received a fair trial. 

The Kenosha police stood down to the anger that was filling the air. Rittenhouse and the cultural forces that turned him loose, including media, never followed the same good strategy of police who put life before property. 

It was a time when African Americans felt very threatened. There is a long history of disruption by African Americans when they feel the hate of racism as was the case with Rodney King. It has always been the response of government to stand down and not cause escalations of any confrontation. There was always a clear understanding that life is more important than property. When angry people are afraid for their lives it can erupt in the only vehicle they have and that is fire. It is common globally. France and it’s fire brigades are a clear example.

Michael Brown and Kyle Rittenhouse were both 18 years old. Yet their outcomes were very different. Michael Brown was never afforded an hearing or a trial. The officer’s gun was his jury. 

Unarmed people, like the men in Kenosha, Wisconsin didn’t have a chance against Rittenhouse with his illegally possessed weapon. Yet those men were gunned down as if common criminals destroying someone’s precious property rather than men who LEGITIMATELY feared for their own lives and wanted the world to know. Three dead men and a self-righteous bigot and the bastard walked. Why? 

We, as a country are entering a very dangerous time. The USA is a tinderbox due to violent MAGA rhetoric and a president that seeks retribution not only for himself but the people that backed his particular form “of hatred of the other.” Trump has openly said he intends to declare a national emergency and he is already backed by an extremist House Speaker that has no valid proof of 3 million dangerous undocumented.  

The hate “of the other” is all too familiar a partner to those that want to justify violence. We have a problem and it has been stoked for the past four years. The anxiousness of Trump’s intentions are palpable. Americans should act now to write the elected representatives to end the freely exhibited racism and cultural hubris before it gets started.

National emergency?

Where? 

Texas? 

Take it to the governor and tell him to do his job rather than whining about it.

I can’t look the other way.

I am not good at political dodging, nor do it want to be.

Look, Trump is continuing his racist ways. It is very, very obvious. He has a majority Caucasian staff. In his cabinet the only African American is the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. That is a traditionally Republican cabinet seat for one African American. 

When one compares the Biden Administration with that of Trump’s nominations; Trump is a disgrace. I am seriously concerned for the minorities in the USA, the LGBTQ community, and Native Americans.

There is something very wrong here. The USA should never be in retreat when it comes to diversity and inclusion. The USA needs its brain trust and our children deserve to be represented at the highest levels of government. From where I sit this is nothing but arrogance and complete disrespect for the American people.

There was an attack on the UN in Lebanon?

I guess so. (Click here) Qatar is citing violations in international law. 

Resolution 1701 was adopted in 2006 (Click here)

It appears to me the UAE is concerned about regional stability as well as its plans to combat the Climate Crisis. The Saudis have engaged talks with France, the USA regarding the Middle East and Ukraine was discussed with Russia. I would be surprised if Russia wasn’t asked about any interest with Iran. 

The thing is this, the region has chronic religious migration. I am fairly confident none of these countries bargained for the continued escalation of war. They have more liberal border issues because of religious tourism. It would not surprise anyone if elements of Hamas or Hezbollah would be among those in religious migration.

These other countries must be given some sort of immunity from Israel’s wrath until they can get up to speed to prevent and/or end such danger to their populations. I read there was an incident in Jordan. That is unthinkable.

The USA must have a solid resolve regarding Venezuela. It is where Hezbollah operates its drug cartel. When “I surrender” Donald gets into office he’ll hand over the USA to them. 



This came in a roll of quarters from the bank.

Starting in December merchants throughout the world will not have to accept mutilated money as legal tender.

I went to put this quarter in a coin slot and it wouldn’t accept it. Thinking it was a malfunction I tried it again, and again it was returned to me. So, I looked closer and realized it was grossly mutilated by someone harvesting silver from quarters. 

Someone decided they could legally mutilate this quarter for silver and get away with it. This is the kind of criminality that exists in the USA now. There is no respect for anything.

So, in realizing the monetary policy should protect the integrity of the instrument of money Secretary Yellin has instituted changes in policy to end this form of criminality regarding USA currency. 

This quarter still has value but it will be upto me to take it back to the bank for an exchange for one that still has integrity that a coin slot recognizes.

I thank Secretary Yellin for paying attention to details that others have ignored.
