Is everything with Hegseth an emergency?

Watch a female U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III pilot perform a stunning emergency takeoff at full throttle, pushing this massive aircraft to its limits. With seconds to decide and no room for error, this thrilling moment demonstrates elite training, raw power, and incredible courage.

 But, how? Why?

Hegseth

 The USS Gerald Ford was on fire. 

The USA military is striking Iran?

 What left is there to strike?

Ya wanna know who is a hero?

 Joe Biden.

CO2 Emissions in the United States (click here) increased to 4632160 KT in 2024 from 4618270 KT in 2023. CO2 Emissions in the United States averaged 4868161.25 KT from 1960 until 2024, reaching an all time high of 6135287.21 KT in 2007 and a record low of 2880505.51 KT in 1961.

According to this source (Emissions Database for European Commission) the USA had four lower emission levels of CO2 during the Biden years. It should be as close to zero as possible to reverse the deadly trend of greenhouse gases. 

Is there any wonder why Biden was demonized by the Republicans? 

Who cared about the kids the most, Joe?

Led by the oil and gas industry, (click here for Open Secrets) this sector regularly pumps the vast majority of its campaign contributions into Republican coffers. Even as other traditionally GOP-inclined industries have shifted somewhat to the left, this sector has remained rock-solid red.

Since the 1990 election cycle, more than two-thirds of this sector’s contributions to candidates and party committees has gone to Republicans. Besides oil and gas, the electric utilities industry is another big donor in this sector. Less generous, but even more partisan, is the mining industry. [Read more Background]

Now, why would Trump be delighted at inflation?

The inflation doesn't effect Trump. He has no real costs so much as profits from inflationary trends. Sure, sure the stock market has been having ups and downs, but, for the most part it has been up and up and up (click here).

Then there is the Republcian agenda to be happy about, too. They want to end Social Security. Well guess what the CPI does to SSI?

Trump: ‘I love the inflation’ (click here)

President Trump told reporters Wednesday that he loved “inflation,” after he was asked about inflation spiking in May.

“No, I love it. The numbers were great,” Trump said when asked if he was concerned about the latest data, which showed the consumer price index rising to 4.2 percent over the past 12 months — with an increase of 0.5 percent in May alone, according to the Labor Department.


Then there is Nividia. Trump is a repeat offender.

Recent presidents (click here) have stayed away from trading stocks in companies whose fortunes they could lift or scuttle with the stroke of a pen, but Donald Trump smashed that precedent in the first quarter of this year with more than 3,600 buy and sell orders, many of them involving companies whose profits have been directly impacted by his decisions as head of the government.

Among the Trump trades in a recent report filed with a federal ethics agency was as much as $6 million in Nvidia, whose advanced chips Trump approved for sale to China last year. His portfolio also scooped up stocks of several U.S. military suppliers impacted by the Iran war, including Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman.

“If he were defense secretary, he would be committing a crime,” said Richard Painter, the chief White House ethics adviser in the George W. Bush administration and a big critic of congressional trading, too. “Technically he can do this, but it is a fundamental breach of trust.”...

Take a close look at the chart from today of USA stocks (click here). Catastrophic, right? The DOW lost 900 points. Every company on the Big Board is falling, right?

The tech stocks are doing fantastic this year. Yes, they lost today, except, for Apple. But, look at the year in returns so far. Every tech stock is in the green except Microsoft and Meta.

I feel so bad for the country. It simply isn't fair we have to go through this. I hold Congress responsible.

What is very concerning is that it appears Congress has as much of an agenda as Trump. I cannot believe they authorized such large payments to ICE and the Border Patrol given the very bad performance of those agencies. They should be ashamed of themselves for being so weak and their party for being so corrupt.

I congratulate Kristen Welker on an incredible interview exposing Trump for his meanspirited method of attempting to impose lies on the American people. Thank you. I understand there is supposed to be a second interview. I doubt if there will be transparency to what he is up to with all the money Congress gave him. I actually expect him to divert it to elections where he believes it is necessary to create hysteria to impose emergencies when Americans are balloting. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the California elections. 

Senator Jon Ossoff was given information about the incredible corruption taking place with Kazakhstan. He made a YouTube video about it and it is jaw dropping. Kristen should provide equal time to Senator Ossoff and interview him regarding his findings. The truth is out and there is no taking it back.

My understanding is simple. The president of Kazakstan called Trump and stated he wanted an American company to mine tungsten. Why? Kazakstan doesn't have companies that mine? Europe doesn't have companies that mine? Why ask a country across the Atlantic to take an interest in Kazakstan tungsten?

At any rate, Trump found a company in the USA to mine tungsten. It wasn't as though he was happy for the country and the company, that wasn't it at all. He first purchased stock in the company. Not only that but he had his two sons make a trip to talk with the president of Kazakstan about the good news. No doubt the boys had a sizeable amount of stock in the company, too.

It doesn't stop there. 

Once the contracts were signed and the news was out on Wall Street and the stock price was rising Trump reached into his presidential bag of tricks and gave the company an enormous grant of taxpayer money. Got that? The American company who has partial ownership now by Trump and his sons received monies from the American people in order to carry out the mining.

There is one word for this and it isn't corruption, it is racketeering. The American people are now engaged in racketeering empowered by the president, but, it isn't as though it is benefiting the USA Treasury, it is benefiting Trump's treasury. Racketeering is highly illegal. I doubt if the American people consent to illegal use of their tax dollars.

Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) (click here) is raising questions about a Kazakhstan mining project that has become linked to Donald Trump's sons, saying in a recent X post (1) that "$1.6 billion of your tax dollars" is backing the venture that's now expanding the Trump family's business footprint in critical minerals.

The Georgia Democrat's criticism centers on a tungsten mining project that reportedly received significant U.S. government support before becoming associated with a company tied to Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. The allegation has fueled debate over both government spending and potential conflicts of interest....

And the Kazakhstan president's reaction. Amazing. He couldn't be happier.

Tokayev, in turn, (click here) conveyed his respect to President Trump and reaffirmed Kazakhstan’s interest in further strengthening bilateral cooperation, Akorda reported.

During the meeting, the two sides discussed the implementation of joint trade, economic and investment projects, as well as prospects for cooperation in key sectors, including critical minerals, transport, logistics and digitalization.

Special attention was also given to the work of the Board of Peace, an international organization established earlier this year at President Trump’s initiative and supported by Kazakhstan.

Tokayev reaffirmed Kazakhstan’s readiness to continue contributing to international stability and humanitarian initiatives. The two sides also exchanged views on current regional and global issues.

Let's not window dress this and normalize it. It is criminal. Just that simple. Trump took out stock in the company and subsidized it to remove operating costs and increase profits. This isn't about benevolence for either the USA or Kazakhstan. This is about the profiteering of Trump and his family. It is illegal and is taking place while the Republican majority of Congress is looking the other way. No doubt they will praise Trump for bringing tungsten to the USA. 

Hold it right there!

The tungsten is going to the highest bidder even if it is the communists.

Say good-bye to the treasury of the USA. It is going into Trump's pockets.
