LOL

Chinese manufacturers are moving their factories to Cambodia. 

Trump is going to tax the entire Southeast Asia. 

LOL

Then thru will move somewhere else. 

LOL

Wall Street can relax, the Chinese have got this thing.

LOL

The last time they tried to stop China they moved to Mexico. This time they’ll move to Venezuela. At least Venezuela can use the jobs. The shipping is a lot shorter, too. This is funny.

Does a day go by?

How does anyone communicate the truth to Donald Trump? Vladimir Putin is not recognizing the fact that he is making it impossible to have peace. This is not President Zelenskyy’s problem. Ukraine did not invade Russia. 

President Trump needs to realize Putin is not a reliable partner in negotiations. Putin is always changing the terms. I think Trump has issues he can’t solve with a Russian president.

Vance goes to Vermont

(Click here)

These men know they have a bad reputation with many people in the country. That does not matter to them. Vance went to Vermont to stick a finger in Bernie’s eye. He went to state there is at least one person in MAGA that appreciates the Vermont economy. He wants more of his followers to take on Vermont to save it from socialism. 

So, the folks from Vermont should be aware they are a target of political plans by MAGA. The invaders won’t succeed. They tried it elsewhere and while the real estate increases in value because of a glut of buyers, the community values never changed.

The Vermont economy flourishes for a reason. The culture there supports that economy and the culture is as valuable as currency. 

This is where the anger laced hate comes from.

This is Trump’s modus operandi. 

“America will not put up with it much longer”…

His following wants the government to have control of the Russian outcome. He is expecting to build a strong enough support of his propaganda to stop NATO from succeeding. I don’t believe he will ever have that. America loves Europe.

But, this is Trump and what to expect. He is masterful at propaganda. He needs to realize there is no fighting in the streets in this civilized country. He expected the country to break out in violence. That hasn’t happened and no reason for a police state. He has it wrong. That level of violence does not fit the American character.

Trump is hoping for a Rodney King reaction. He wants it. He really does.

I think he looks like a gangster. But, no matter. When (consumer/taxpayer) anger accompanies hate; the hate is legitimized. It becomes intractable and very muscular.

The level of hate within the dialogues of the USA is very concerning. It is more overt than ever in the past. The willingness to be overtly hateful has a next step. Trump has no conscience.

There is no secret formula to prevent tariffs.

Donald John Trump doesn’t want to pay taxes. 

If I may.

Trump believes the obvious that the USA is an enormous economy and every country on the planet wants to bring their goods to market. That is just the beginning of the ideology with this administration.

When it comes to Canada and Mexico I sincerely think Trump is looking for leverage to take over the entire North American continent under one government. So, if he is successful in making life miserable for Canada and Mexico annexation will be easy. 

However, there is also the reality that if there were tariffs on the biggest exporters of goods to the USA (an enormous economy that other countries cannot do without) there will be no need for taxes. Basically, let the entire world pay for the allowance of their goods to a great number and willing customers. 

I think the issue of paying taxes is at the heart of any of Trump’s tariffs and HE DOES NOT CARE if Americas are struggling with inflation. He absolutely expects to be King. Absolutely.

This delusional mindset is NOT new. He has been scamming people all his life. This is more of the same. The difference this time and why he believes he is king is because of the American plutocrats (otherwise known as oligarchs) that have attached their idea of fun to his coattails and find him a willing person to expand their wealth. They don’t care about him being crazy. What their bottom line can do with Trump in the White House is their only focus.

This at the very least is corruption of government, but, in all honesty it is purely racketeering. The bottom line with plutocrats is what matters. They don’t care about the truly insane world vision Trump has. They don’t care if he turns the USA into Hilter’s dream come true. They don’t care about ethnic cleansing. They care about profits. That is not new either. Both world wars came to USA shores before the sleeping giant awoke. The Lusitania in WW I and Pearl Harbor in WW II.

So, if China is trying to understand why Trump is punitive realize this IS Trump. There is no diplomatic understanding. Simply greed and nothing more.

By every measure…

…Ukraine is doing well. Not to diminish the losses, but, the military is quite successful. There is a problem at times in holding their achievements. The USA had a similar problem in Iraq. The Late Senator McCain called it “Wack-a-Mole.” It is that sort of thing. But, when looking at the history of the violence over the past three years, Ukrainians and their military have done well.

The Ukrainian border with Eastern Europe is quite fluid. If looking at statistics there are frequent movements of people crossing that border regularly. It lends itself to the idea that refugees are not permanent. In other words people under some sort of insecurity for their land, homes, or apartments move readily back and forth as missiles and drones become an issue.

So, to honestly assess Ukraine’s circumstances going forward, it isn’t catastrophic. The people move away from Russian terror and return to rebuild and assume their lives again. Basically, I think Russia’s mischief is more an annoyance to highly resilient people.

In many ways the Ukrainians are a magnificent example of indomitable virtue. They sincerely love their country and the lives they enjoy there. I am sure the evidence of so many churches and religious buildings are a factor in the resilience Ukrainians exhibit.

It is correct to support them. They are magnificent people.

There was also a report about Ukrainian prison facilities for captured Russians. The Russians were happy there. They were saying, albeit as a POW, life in the prison was better than life back in Russia. When decisions are made about loyalty to democracy or communism, there is no doubt, the evidence points to a higher quality of life within democracy.

No surprise.

Europe has a far different and longer history than the United States. They were going to take leadership and their national security seriously. Their increased involvement with Ukraine is only a natural place for Europe. 

Israel was never going beyond the first step of the ceasefire. In order to enter the second phase Israel would have to develop its diplomacy and cooperation with Abbas as a trustworthy custodian of a burgeoning peace. Even that primitive level of trust is proving too much of a burden for the war cabinet. Netanyahu came to the USA to be certain 

Trump’s hatred for any form of humanity was intractable.

That’s Trump. Gimmicks galore.

Let me get this right. Trump is throwing all these federal employees off payrolls, but, he wants to keep tax cuts that will cost the country trillions in debt while adding more tax cuts? 

????????????

How is Trump justifying tax cuts that cost Americans trillions in national debt and how is he paying for them? Or more like it, why is he not paying for it?

(Click here)

Perfect

Trump’s chronic folly.

This is Putin. Expansionist. There is no reason to ever believe Putin will honor any agreement for a ceasefire or a lasting peace. Trump wants to rule the world as he is the only one that can. Well, he is in a real beauty contest with Vlad.

Mayor Brandon will be on display for the purpose of fear.

Any congressional hearing at this point is nothing more than an opportunity for propaganda. Trump needs to continue to sow fear otherwise his politics will fall apart.

Mayor Brandon has a huge opportunity before him. He can champion the minority citizens in this country and point out the mounting intolerance of racism. 

I heard a commentator make an example of former MSNBC anchor Joy Reid. Supposedly, Ms. Reid is an example of extremism. Really? Of course there is nothing extreme with MAGA.

We have to bring the country to its senses if possible. We had a magnificent society when it wasn’t distracted by lies and hatred. There are a lot of falsehoods in the vapors these days. One of the first executive orders Trump signed was “freedom of speech.” Little did we know there was a clause in that executive order that said, “except for minority women on MSNBC.” The MAGA folks really do believe January 6th is a lie. They believe Trump was a victim. They believe the was a reason for the idea “Stop the Steal.” 

Hopefully, there will be lots of opportunities like the one Mayor Brandon has before him to bring the truth to the people to end the hate.

What is Johnson doing about the insecure attack on our government?

The Republicans are a lot of “Yes men.” The USA does not belong in Ukraine politics, no different than Putin belongs in ours or Ukraine’s as Trump is obviously carrying water for him.

In case Johnson hasn’t noticed there is a war in Ukraine and every 90 days I believe the circumstances are reviewed and elections are delayed because of the chronic attacks by Russia. Currently, that review (which Johnson has no clue about or doesn’t care about it) will occur May 9th. I am confident if the circumstances the people face (including refugee status) are better elections will be set. But, until a solid peace is realized the Ukrainian Constitution must be respected. Something Johnson, along with the other “Yes men” can’t seem to comprehend.

Putin would love for elections during a war in Ukraine because his minions would promise peace. What was his name? Oh, yeah, Viktor. I am sure Putin would love to return Viktor to the palace as is the hopes of Trump.

Representive Johnson needs to concern himself with the invasion of a private citizen ruining the USA government. That simply seems to escape him.

Absolutely not!

Elon Musk and DoGE are national security risks. They are finished with any sort of insecure temporary status.

These are not bright men.

I don’t know what everyone is expecting, but, these are not bright men. They have money. So does every street hustler in the country. Money means nothing. Republicans like to say the wealthy equate to highly intelligent. NOT.

To top it off Trump has been in the Oval Office before, yet, without any regard for a long established democracy he relinquished every lever of power to Musk. If anyone is a hustler in this country it is him. He went from businesses with his brother to PayPal to Tesla to Space X.

SO!

Former Musk employees are out there screaming about him. They aren’t doing it for vengeance. They are scared for us and the country. They get nothing for screaming warnings to the people that will listen. Their concerns begin with the fact he demands long hours and then followed by firings. 

When employees put on long hours that asking for trouble. 

The nuclear capacity of the USA can’t be toyed with. Ever. Yet, Trump thinks Elon is great. I suppose if a president wants to be a king and subservient to Putin none of this is important. 

Who has the nuclear codes? Who is paying attention to hair trigger satellites? Are orbits deteriorating? I guarantee I have more questions than Trump has answers.

DOES ANYONE CARE?

Correction.

DOES ANYONE CARE THAT KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING?!?!

There is no more politics. There are only hard truths.

Zelenskyy in a suit? I think not.

(Click here)

One of the most incredible First Ladies to grace the White House was Barbara Bush. This is a picture of her at a Thanksgiving Dinner with our soldiers. Conversational and bringing smiles to their faces. But, more than that she clearly told them in no uncertain terms “they were not alone.”

President Zelenskyy spurns a Wall Street suit because his heart and mind are always with his soldiers. There is never any doubt with the Ukraine military that he is on a mission to protect them, end this war, and bring his people back home.

I find his clothes very honorable and to be respected.

It is up to Minority Leader Schumer to end this travesty.

(Click here)

Minority Leader Senator Chuck Schumer must obstruct the U.S.A. House budget bill (click here). 

The House Democrats were very strong in their opposition and one House Republican joined them. The Republicans are sitting down the federal government so the Senate needs to end this travesty of a single party rampage of our democracy.

Senator Schumer must demand all employees return to work with interviews to follow to allow one on one conversations with supervisors who maintain vital government functions.

Additionally, the “No Kings Act” must be attached to this budget along with ample funding to maintain the health of vulnerable Americans. 

There is no reason to do anything else. Any Republican that opposes the “No Kings Act” as an amendment to this bill will tell on themselves as to whether they are Senators for the American people or minions of Donald John Trump. 

Musk also needs to be ostracized from ever manipulating this government again.

Ukraine must be secure as well.

The House budget bill is an outrage!

A new Free World Leader?

The French President Emmanuel Macron is very competent. He is always on the job. He leads a strong country. France is one of the five permanent nuclear nations. He is ready.

Ukraine was never abandoned.

Ukraine received support from many countries around the world. It is another reason USAID ended. I am sure the support helped facilitate the support Ukraine received. You will never convince me Putin never had a hand in Project 2025. It serves his agenda.
