Be ready. YOU will be the next great security threat. You must be. There is only one truly profound danger to our national security and that is someone who is eligible to vote.

Steven Himmiller has written the order and used his crayon to outline the rational to stop the election of 2026, you just haven't heard it…..yet. They failed to stop the children of immigrants, they are failing to stop mail in voting (unless, of course you are the president), and they have failed to pass the SAVE program so what is left?

Holding an election in this environment must pose a substantial security threat.

And it would, for some.

If you are an official whose sole purpose is to perform duties in violation of the Constitution, you are threatened.

If you are a multi billionaire poised to avoid income tax or run a company which violates free trade or safety regulations, you are threatened.

If you plan to ignore election laws, housing regulations and zoning ordinances, you are threatened.

And if you are living in military housing for free because your very existence depends on having an absurd level of security due to your hateful, fascist ideology, you are threatened.

The only way to protect your interests is to be certain that everyone else’s interests are destroyed. We cannot be trusted to cast a vote that will ensure the security of our once great nation. We must be stopped before we destroy America.

By voting.

Does anyone out there doubt that this line of reasoning is being swatted around by the Mango Moron and his staff of trained monkeys? This is not some political science exercise designed to test the waters or create an outcome, this is the vision of the pedophile in chief and his cronies.

And we will sit by like powerless children and let it happen because the fascists have staffed the election with their breed of infected loyalists. As soon as the Orange Disaster claims the county is under threat, the padlocks come out, the ICE goons are stationed and our election, OUR FREEDOM, dries up and blows away.

These may be the last two months in the life of American Democracy.

While this has a great degree of truth to it, the language of a party platform provides insight into the party’s priorities, vision desires and built in biases moving forward. For instance, if the language contains sentiments or plans for outreach and support, we can be assured that the party will dedicate itself to bolstering existing programs (or build new ones) for those in need.

On the other hand if the language is about prosecuting persecuting, deporting and attacking others….well….. we know what the results of that would be AND can fully appreciate why the current regime doesn't have a party platform!

Could you imagine a party statement promising the protection of rapists and pedophiles or the pardoning of drug lords and scam artists? Only drug lords and scam artists would support them (and may do frighteningly well)!

This, in part is why the fascist… err …. Republicans do not have a party platform! The basis of their view of social issues and economic opportunity is predicated upon the total upheaval of society for the benefit of the “2 %” who benefit most from their activity. It would promise white supremacy, urban police poisoning and unlimited ICE funding to undermine all political opposition and change for equitable society.

Much less than 30% of the public would support this ( at least, I hope so). Even deeply fascist states like Indiana would have to experience a moment of reflection and consideration before pulling that lever or checking that box!

So we have a party which is built like a college football team. Before they can “snap the ball” (or in congressional terms, any legislation can be considered) they stand and look at the bench to see what the chief is thinking, or the pedophile is planning.

There is no clear guidelines about ANYTHING! Programs that once were considered highly favorable, for veterans, seniors or government employees, are now chopped up, revised, or outright dismissed once the pedophile in chief gets his hold on them.

Add this to the cry of the incredulous:

IS THIS ANY WAY TO RUN A COUNTRY??

But add this provision:

Is this any way to run a political party who expects control of a country?

Clearly the answer is NO.

Clearly the Republicans do not deserve our support without presenting a clear outline of their priorities.

“The observers had cited statutes related to the Americans With Disabilities Act and the Civil Rights Act…..

This year, the Justice Department’s observers have visited polling places in other states, including politically tense regions such as the Minneapolis area. The agency said on Tuesday that it had sent 80 monitors to seven states during primary season.”

I find it disturbing that these “Observers” would cite ADA and Civil Rights requirements when their administration has clearly shown disdain for utilizing or enforcing such regulations.

The good news is that the election officials in Wyoming (surely one of the most conservative states in the US) turned them away when they requested to inspect machines and interview voters.

Let that simmer for a moment.

What kinds of questions would these fascists ask of voters? Name, address, nearest family, net worth? Do you own any gold that you would be willing to donate to our Fearless Leader?

If people refused to speak with them, who would prevent from being forced to submit? Are the DOJ goons going to join forces with the ICE goons to help gather “critical” voter data?

I admit to the absurdity of these observations but cannot dismiss the possibilities given the greater absurdity of this administration.

So this “test” failed in the most conservative state in America, will it be revised and strengthened for future use?

Crypto is WORTHLESS, except to those who own it and must trade it to create an illusion of value. What does it make? Where are it's products, staff, factories? When crypto goes bankrupt what will creditors seize to provide funding for investors?

IT IS WHOLE CLOTH!!! No actual value, no actual worth.

The perfect parallel to the Felon In Chief who has no skill, no value and no worth EXCEPT that which we bestow upon him. Doug Ford is right to call him out as a fraud and a loser.

ABC was wrong to pay him off but then right to sue the administration for going after their license. Disney is a hero for embarrassing him by pretending to toss Kimmel then bringing him back stronger than ever.

Where is the ACLU? Where are the organizations that fight fraud in government? What happened to the strength of opposition that destroyed other candidates but whither and blow into dust with this creep of no value?

CALL HIM A PEDOPHILE!!! He has no defense without releasing the Epstein files. Demand that Ghislaine Maxwell be returned to real prison ! Demand that the murderers of Pretti and Good be arrested and prosecuted! Demand that he follow the law and pay E Jean Carrol what is owed.

The man is an empty suit. What power he has is what we give him in OUR weakness, not from any strength he has!

CALL HIM OUT AS A FRAUD AND A FELON AND DONT STOP UNTIL HE IS GONE!!

We need to expose him before election day or all is lost.

I am old enough to remember the 200th celebration. I remember neighborhoods, schools, entire cities coming together in joy to celebrate our democracy. I remember TV specials, reenactments, speakers of all stripes and thoughtful respect of our forefathers and the risks they took in signing that declaration.

I don't remember a single sporting event. I don't recall a bunch of crude, lewd and obscene street fighters at the White house nor a bunch of polluting, loud obnoxious street machines rattling around our capital. Most of all, I don't remember our president inserting himself in every event or celebration.

This year the Pathetic Pedophile was everywhere, overlaying his ignorance and boldly displaying his ego in association with our historic leaders. Those men of vision, of character, of intellect would never have allowed the kind of celebration incited by this “president”. Indeed, I very much doubt he would have been acknowledged at all against the background of statesmanship and true leadership.

No, I did not join in on any of the celebrations. And I don't believe I missed anything, except the need to actually celebrate.

It has gotten so bad that rather than TRY to sue, his staff of communication “professoonals” collapse into a third grade insult competition (“Oh yeah? Well your mother is fatter than mine!”) to address his woeful and nearly incoherent positions.

The media is “weak” the reporters are “stupid” the facts are “proven” because “a lot of people say so…..”

The man has never been a skilled communicator. Today only Mitch McConnell is (probably) the only one worse off. Compound the mental limitations with a sparse selection of usable material, and all you have left is insults and knock knock jokes!

Kudos and praise to the BBC, whose lawyers saw an opportunity and blasted a hole right through the entire Trump family. When the Orange Disaster claimed the BBC report on January 6 would cause him financial losses and damage to his reputation, they said "Oh yeah? Let's see those finances!”. The judge has said that the family has to turn over all financial records, which will make them publicly available for all!

OOOOPS!!

Now the Mango Mussolini can never raise financial hardship again without running the risk that they will have to PUT UP OR SHUT UP!!!

We know he cannot sue over the pedophile accusations because the Epstein Files would have to be released then, either by our DOJ.orbthe Israeli Moussad.

Then there is the problem of legal tactics and proper operational management. Everything has to be properly filed, at the right time, by the right person. The courts seem willing to forgive typos, but not utter ineptitude and illegal or illicit attempts at gaining an edge.

Many regional AG’s have run out of time as their temporary status as “acting” AG is done but DOJ is too busy chasing “enemies” that they can't be bothered keeping staff.

Judges are flat out telling government lawyers they are incompetent or violated the rules (yes Ms. Pirro, you are the poster child for this) which just increases the pressure on them.

Leading to WHO WOULD WANT THIS JOB?

Disney, Capital One, BBC, historical socities even localities are fighting back and the Felon In Chief does not have the staff nor the truth to rely on. Next we may expect counter suits like the one being organized over the reflecting pool debacle.

We can only hope that when this is all said and done, the government can charge the Trumpollini Crime Family for these fees and recover some money for us taxpayers.

But it's just kinda nice to watch him squirm and scream.

“NATALIE! GET ME SOME GOOD NEWS”

Understand that I believe in God, but I do not own her. My God is in no way superior or more proper than any other God. My belief system is my own and could never be forced upon anyone else, and I expect that kind of respect and open mindedness from others.

So I have built in reservations about Zionists who approve of the destruction of others, who willfully allow the seizure of property and the assault of innocents. Yes, of course they are Jewish, but that is just part of their existence, not the belief behind their savage, unyielding inhuman activities.

I don't know which of the many Arab leaders who threatened to “push Israel into the sea” back in the 60’s, but that comment defined Israel as a country living under constant threat. It allowed the zealots to go to work worldwide as “persecuted victims” seeking help, guidance and as much weaponry as they could get.

And the world obliged them.

Fast forward to now and yes they are still under threat and still need help for protection of their sovereignty. But the slaughter of thousands of Palestinians did not inspire the world to protect Israel, it mostly resulted in disgust and disbelief.

But America is in too deep to simply walk away, and even if we could, we risk leaving a bully of immense savagery loose in the world. Leaving would endanger not only Israel but thousands of additional Arabian victims in a full blown regional horror.

So what do we do?

First and foremost, someone needs to tell them in no uncertain terms that they do not dictate American foreign policy. They cannot suggest or demand our military commitments or activities anywhere. The Orange Disaster blew that call immeasurably.

Second, WE need to dictate terms of our military support, selling them ONLY defensive weapons, rigidily defined and designed to assure no possible modification for other purposes. They need to have a proper defensive posture, even if the current threat is a direct result of their own arrogance.

If they don't like that, we walk away.

In fact, forcing them to find arms elsewhere may support American policy. If China began supporting them every missile sold is one could not be used in Taiwan !

Thanks to the marvelous military strategy employed by the Two Pigs of the Apocalypse, we have depleted our own ordinance supplies to dangerously low levels and left Asia nearly undefended in favor of Israeli needs, as dictated by Net In Yahoo. The Landlord and the News Man have stripped bare our human resources as well as our supplies of weaponry (and now his military priorities include renovations of our aircraft carriers and building outdated ineffective stuff like battleships?!?!)

Israel must surely share the blame with Dumb and Dumber for this situation. They saw the opportunity to undercut American resistence and run the show (and most certainly the Moussad Epstein files allowed this).

We must back away from this bully and join the world in condemning their actions, support World Court condemnation and removal of the current crop of Zionists destroying our world.

But we cannot abandon the people of Israel who must be defended.

A long and complex series of events must occur to make this possible, and it must begin soon.

And it requires new leadership to make it happen:

A president with a spine and a defense secretary with a brain.

For those who don't know the story, during Operation Desert Storm the Iraqi government kept a steady stream of boldly inaccurate disinformation to make it seem as if Iraq was winning the war. Every day American planes were shot down, ships sunk, troops captured or killed and NONE of it was true!

It appears to be a model Steve has enjoyed emulating since he joined the campaign.

It is mind numbing to me as to how anyone can become so comfortable lying ALL THE TIME. Let's face it; we all have a comfort zone in the world of lying. A couple of little lies, an exaggeration or three, an innocent fib is something we have all used on occasion. But to be an endless, relentless stream of degradation, insults, mistruths and outright BS is simply unbelievable.

But this is where he lives. It is an enclave, a suburb of the sprawling community of TRUMPIST LIFE that is probably hardly noticed within the secret Society of Orange. Indeed Stevie probably gets a pat on the head every time he tries to make something up, while he studies at the feet of the Master .

But, make no mistake, this is pure evil. Living a life of lying undercuts the very essence of our government and our society. Making a living out of lying tells our children that, no matter what their parents say, lying is okay and will get you noticed.

I know Stevie is a small, nearly insignificant mushroom in the world of fungus that is this administration. But he is no less disturbing, especially since he must believe that his behavior is right and significant.

It is neither of those things Stevie nor are you.c

Let's be there to ask them.

Let's ask them what is the Republican vision for the party, the country and our community. In 1952 the Party said their goal included….

“..that our children and their children, without distinction because of race, creed or color, may know the blessings of our free land.”
What about our children?

Our farmers ?

Our seniors?

Our veterans and active service members?

Our allies?

Let's ask what EXACTLY do they find so attractive about Donald Trump and his policies and executive orders?

Let's shut them down, make them face unemployment and realize people know what they have supported all along.

Nothing less than the destruction of America’s democracy

Our president distrusts intelligence, avoids security briefings, believes only what he tells himself and behaves with the false bravado of a third grade bully.

All this after firing or reassigning senior staff who chose not to kiss his …. Ring and bow to power. People who had spent a lifetime understanding threats to it nation. Who knew intimately where the intelligence “bodies are buried” and were packed off by the South African Pit Viper, Big Balls or Steven Himmiller.

Sure, if it's his diaper that is in danger he's all over counter measures and increased security. But think of this:

If he is willing to expose cabinet members, senor staff and the press to potential disaster, how could your life possibly measure up in his mind? How could you be worth saving over him? And, if he was under threat, would he sacrifice you for his own survival.

There was a no doubt that every executive decision he has ever made addresses a single question: HOW CAN I BENEFIT FROM THIS SITUATION? Against that backdrop there is no catastrophe (including, obviously, a war without end) that he will not use to his own advantage.

No one wants to believe he would go so far, but considering the amount of time, money and effort this administration has put into meeting his every whim, and the clear priorities being meeting the perceived or imagined needs ( and real.or imagined threats) of this demented leader, how could anyone define the limitless lengths he would go to save his own worthless ass?

I am NOT suggesting that he would direct a domestic disaster to blow up a bridge or a tunnel. But could he bury viable intelligence stating that a clear and present threat of that caliber is on the way? What if he were about to be impeached, or face the end of his second term?

Could he be so ruthless and self centered that sacrificing hundreds, maybe thousands of innocents for his benefit might just be justified?

I am terrified of the clear and obvious answer.

When she got to the tax line she said “….and this $6000 is the annual tax levy on your property.” Then she paused, as if waiting for a reaction. “Oh that's right, you already live in NY so that doesn't shock you.” I said no it doesn't. It annoys me but doesn't shock me. She went in to tell us this story to explain her hesitation.

The couple before us who were moving into NY as part of a corporate transfer were coming from Tennessee. When the realtor pointed out the taxes, the husband hit the roof! “That's outrageous! How could it cost so much! Must be paying NY corruption….” Until his wife shut him down.

“Look,” she said, “ our taxes are much lower in Tennessee but we live in a four bedroom center hall colonial on a dirt road, with no street lighting, no public water or sewer, the nearest library is 40 miles away and the nearest fire station is over 20 miles away. Our kids schools are good for Tennessee, but rank below the 30th percentile nationally. We are paying these taxes because they will make everything better.”

HARD FREAKING STOP!

I have lived through or witnessed an array of natural or man made disasters in Louisiana, Texas, Vermont, and NY. Blizzards, ICE storms, flooding, fire and, of course 9/11. We paid a lot of taxes in NY to get everything this anonymous woman spoke of, but in each crisis New York responded immediately and in force.

Yes, thankfully assistance flowed in from all across the country. But in these other states it was days before issues were addressed. Sometimes it took weeks to repair infrastructure and provide financial assistance.

Louisiana and Texas have low taxes, but like much of the nation have long arms and big hands they reach out with because they cannot afford to save themselves.

I'm not saying I love paying taxes! Especially come April 15 when I can't believe I have to pay MORE taxes. But I think we tend to look at the wrong end of the formula.

I am no millionaire nor do I employ shifty tactics to hide every dime. Since retiring I depend on a financial planner to manage MOST of my investments and they do a great job.

But I hold on reserve some funds which I invest on my own. My financial planner recommended it (probably to keep me busy and out of his way). In each of the past three years I have done better than most stock indices and ran close to better than the professional advisor (not bragging, there is a point here).

Last year this resulted in my owing the state and federal govt several thousand dollars. It was the most I've ever had to pay, but it came in a year I made over 30% in my investments, collected social security, ( which needed to be taxed) and made several smaller moves that raised my taxes.

The point is that my investments made over $30k (got in on the precious metals boom early and often). Yes I would love to have the $4,000 + back, but I have managed to keep the $27,000+ that I earned. All in all, not a bad year.

For most billionaires this would be unacceptable. They expect to keep every last dime. Ironically they pay lawyers, accountants and tax advisors tens of thousands of dollars each year to make certain they pay the government nothing for the services we all receive, and we are paying our fair share for.

They cannot accept that they need to pay theirs. Maybe 70% tax rate was unfair, but 0% is morally reprehensible, especially this coming year when our government is serving as an instrument to line the pockets of our leaders.

I think we need to appreciate that IF everyone paid their share of taxes WE would have no national debt, better social security, Medicare and Medicaid and a better government for all.

How much of MAGA complain about taxes they do not pay? What % is receiving SNAP, Medicaid or welfare checks while they supporting lower taxes for the billionaires (see Mikey Johnson’s constituents for more on this)?

Stop bitching and start demanding MORE tax revenue from the 1% and voting for candidates who will get this done.

The first two are admittedly obvious as their lack of leadership and wholly political existence makes them useless to the cause. AOC on the other hand is a more difficult case, based solely on the fact that she is so popular.

Popularity won't win elections.

Democratic Socialism will not carry sufficient national weight to win elections.

The presidential waters for every woman has been poisoned for a generation (or more) by Hillary and Kamala.

Please know it breaks my heart to say this, having supported and followed some truly exceptional leaders like Shirley Chisolm, Bella Abzug, Barbara Jordan and others, but the failures of the past coupled with the pending national distrust of extremism make it clear that we cannot win with AOC.

Sure, we all want to believe that coming out of the Fascist regime requires a dedicated vision of equity in our politics. But the Orange Disaster was not elected by fascists or conservatives, he was elected by independents who were fooled by rhetoric and treated to extremist policies and activities.

Well to quote THE WHO “We Won’t Be Fooled Again!”

Up until 2015 I was a Republican” but as soon as the Fifth Avenue Mistake came down that escalator, insulted Serge Koveleski and John McCain, I registered as an independent. I supported Hillary because I thought (knew) that her opposition was fraudulent and idiotic. I also thought she was politically lazy and just failed to speak to the people who would eventually sink her campaign.

Kamala was basically screwed from the get go and deserves credit for a fine effort in a lost cause, but resulted in a compounded disaster for women candidates.

AOC is a wonderful example of a politically compelling success story. As a “progressive” candidate she has a lot to offer. As a “socialist” she is dead in the water. HARD STOP.

If I were a radical fascist (think Steven Himmiller here) I would be financing socialists because they are the only candidate who could be beaten by a fascist. Time to wake up and realize that a choice between extremists is no choice at all. The country is burning down around us and you really want to argue about how big a bucket we need to douse the flames?

John Kelly should be Majority Leader of the new Senate. He is bright purple in a battle ground state. The Orange Disaster’s objection to him makes him a viable middle of the road kinda guy.

There are many viable replacements for HasBeen Jeffries, he was a brightly burning beacon of hope who fell into the pit of NYC politics and has been exposed as just another Israeli big city politician.

Shameful and depressing.

I am certain we could easily find someone better, (maybe even AOC) to serve as the majority leader of the new House.

(Although is anyone curious how three of the four most powerful positions in America have become filled by New Yorkers?)

AOC should remain a spokesperson for us all. A clear leader with a distinct agenda which deserves discussion, attention and careful consideration, but will not get a single vote in Indiana, Montana, Nebraska, Idaho or Utah.

Why does that matter? Because we are still saddled with the Electoral College, so this “socialist” rhetoric sounds good in NYC and Chicago, LA, Detroit or Miami

And almost nowhere else.

Bernie, Barbara, AOC, Mandani, etc. etc. etc are good for the long term health and possible recovery of this country, but none of them can save us right now.

But not the Felon In Chief. He thrives on the blatant pursuit and propagation of hatred. Without an enemy, he cannot exist. Whether it be on he golf course, the world stage or a cooking competion, he is not satisfied with an “opponent”, he must have an ENEMY.

And so we have been treated to a succcession of fictional and created enemies for him to chew on. Latitia James, Comey, Kelly, Maduro, Newsom, Biden, Obama, the gal at McDonalds who got his order wrong. They are all ENEMIES who require public humilation and utter defeat.

BUT they are not enemies AND Golddome lacks any actual evidence that they have truly wronged him. Their purpose is so he can claim that the world is out to get him and don't you feel sorry for the poor man who has fleeced us for BILLIONS while he makes BILLIONS off of his office. PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN.

Over time, he simply runs out of ways to pursue them. Over time his own sins clog up the works and destroy his nefarious, inferior schemes.

“What do you mean the BBC gets to review my finances?”

“Can’t I sue ANYBODY who calls me a pedophile without opening those damn files?!”

“We were not supposed to get caught money laundering!”

And so we come to the bitter end of useful enemies. I mean you are out of time for blaming Biden and you have thoroughly messed up the whole Obama thing! Hunter Biden fights back (that ungrateful bastard!) and Hillary Clinton just laughs at you!

QUICK FIND ME MORE ENEMIES!!! Call a cabinet meeting, summon the Party leadership (or those who THINK they are still leaders)!! Tell Mike Johnson to get off his knees and find me an enemy!!!

And so we are treated to more mistreatment of one of the most qualified, dedicated an patient public servants ever; Anthony Fauci or, as I think of him, Saint Tony.

Too bad he discovered the 5th amendment because he reads the WHOLE constitution not just the parts that you want to overthrow. Too bad he came out of the dense cloud of COVID with real ideas and actual success. Worst of all he is head and shoulders above the TV pesonalities and Heroin addicts you ave chosen to guide public health policy.

Finally, the greatest of sins, you send a “fake physician” after him. Couldn't the podiatrist with the bone spur diagnosis done this? After all no one believes him any longer.

So now the question is out there; WHO IS THE NEXT ENEMY?

Just imagine the level of complex analysis the Plaza Pedophile is going through:

I got caught trying to supply info to the FBI on Epstein (Mikey, I haven't forgotten that failure). The Parks Department and Interior Department were NOT wasting money AND used the TRUTH (of all things) to expose the reflecting pool debacle. ICE keeps hiring family members of January 6 “patriots” to try law enforcement insrread of law breaking. Even the courts are getting smarter (thank GOD for Clarence and Samuel holding out!)

My loyal cabinet keeps going public with unapproved suggestions and ideas. Worst of all, my friends and heroes are being held up as enemies!!!

Nixon, Bibi, Vlad, Jeff, Mark, Elon, what’s his name, the drug dealer I just pardoned (or was it the bank robber) are not helping!
Maybe I need to fire a cabinet member or two as I am nearly out of scapegoats too…..

Stay tuned America, its gonna be a bumpy ride until Election day!

The last time America had to deal with this, President Gerald Ford pardoned his predecessor, Richard Nixon, claiming that America needed to heal from months of scandal and outrage.

I believe he was right. But Nixon was a man obsessed by paranoia and his offenses did not, in any way financially benefit himself or his family. Nixon did spend taxpayer money to bomb Laos and Cambodia, but that was during a war that was way off plan to begin with.

For all his personal faults, he was widely respected overseas for “opening up” China and the Soviet Union to American business interests. Even while mismanaging a terrible and unnecessary war (seem familiar? It's a Republican gift)

As we know, the Orange Disaster brings none of that with his legacy. Clearly, America will need to heal, but it will only be achieved by exposing the endless and wide ranging criminal behavior of Trump, Inc and seeking compensation for his inept, greedy, ridiculous waste of public funding.

We want our money back Donnie for your destruction of our White House, for the redesign of an airplane we never wanted, for the reflecting pool which only reflects your incompetence, for the war in Iran that only you and Net In Yahoo wanted.

We want our money back for all those wind power contracts you rescinded AND bought back, for the Venezuelan oil money that you have made disappear and for all those legal fees you made us pay for in your retribution campaigns.

But even more essential to our national well being, we need to prove to the world that we NEVER agreed with the way you've treated them, both ally and enemy! We need to heal these wounds which you inflicted on Canada, Mexico, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Panama, and the rest of NATO, because you were NOT representing us.

No Gold Dome, you may not slither out of that White House back to your golf course, not without lengthy and comprehensive investigation hounding you for the rest of your days.

And it would be really nice if it came with a gag order so we don't need to hear the demented drivel which leaks out of your brain.

But alas, your spineless protege will pardon you on day one and the Ohio Error will lead us deeper into the woods rather than out into the light.

But at least you will be gone, and your legacy will be eternally locked up and defined as tragic.

I pray every day for at least that minimal compensation

Democrats are polling well in Texas, South Carolina, Ohio, Maine and Georgia, which is great news. What is disturbing is the reaction from the Felonious Administration.

He insists that vandals caused his pool disaster, continues to pressure for tax avoidance for his family, supports yet another unqualified disaster for his cabinet and continues to deny the economic disaster he has created.

A “normal” president would be seeking to unravel some part of his awful regime. Given his well developed love of scapegoating, you would think a cabinet member or two would be packing their desk, or a “mea culpa'“ moment (of someone else's mistake) would be making headlines.

There would be a sudden influx of FEMA money or announcements of a long term grant program to address critical issues. Hegseth would be pushed out and blamed for the Iranian failure. The creation of a committee to uncover solutions for social security, healthcare or (his favorite) govt efficiency.

I do not believe for a moment that any of these things would exist at the end of November, but creating them now MAY help. But instead we get nothing. The racket of the crickets is overwhelming.

The Republicans continue to campaign on their record of cruel and insane achievements. Less than 12% of immigrants detained have proven to be criminals, and less than half of them are violent. Millions have lost health insurance or SNAP benefits because of the South African Pit Viper's initiatives. Researchers and scientists are seeking work overseas. Measles and public health threats abound like never before.

This is why (and deservedly so) the GOP is heading towards a bottomless pit in 90 days.

IF there is actually an election.

I know, the Constitution gives all electoral responsibility to the states. I realize that even under a fictional Emergency the federal government cannot stop the vote. I pray that people will stand and resist intimidation and overcome whatever idiocy Steven Himmiller and the Clown Cabinet have devised.

But that will not happen.

Not in the demented, evil, self centered mind of our Felonious Leader. He must have a plan to stop this election and allow him to rule without limits.

I am not saying it will makes sense ( why mess with the perfect track record established thus far) and I completely believe it will be illegal on every level, but when has that EVER been a priority to him? He rules by the courts, placing every idiotic whim into a ”legal blender” to buy time while he devises the next challenge to delay and confuse.

Yes, he loses 90% of the time. There is a case outlined in the latest issue of the New Yorker (an excellent and terrifying article) where Roy Cohn defended Trump's racist rental policies in court for three years and eventually lost, but made it seem as if the evil govt was pursuing him (ironic coming from the evil Cohn).

If this admin tried this, we would all be subject to the extension of this foolishness until his legal options were exhausted. This would be followed by legal challenges about Presidential term limits to muck up the 2028 elections.

Underlying all this are the fascists he has appointed to state election boards and management.

Underlying all that is Elon Musk and his bold declarations about “delivering a victory” in 2026.

I try to present ideas or examples for hope in my articles. I believe that our system of government assures us that SO LONG AS WE VOTE, justice will be done.

But we have to be able to vote

In that same vein, I do not support schemes and plans regarding the assassination of our president (all natural causes would be applauded).

The Orange Disaster and his cronies were not elected as Fascists or billionaire backed morons or even conservative progressives. They were organized, supported and victorious as Republicans and continued to identify as such through all fascist trappings.

We have lived through radical, extremist ideology and found it unacceptable on all rational levels as it has degraded (if not destroyed) our democracy and raised tensions among and within our divers population. Many of whom are registered (or lack of registry) as “independents”, just like me.

I was a Republican for 30 years. I believed in small government, states rights, lower taxes and the “village” ideology. I NEVER believed abortion or gender issues belonged in the political arena. I felt strongly that this country has been built by immigrants of all kinds and derives its strength through diversity, but I will admit I have never been comfortable with “en Espanol marque el dos” (long story from my immigrant mom’s beliefs).

I accept wholeheartedly that we need a more equitable tax code and a complete revision of the way our government collects taxes. I believe that we need to save social security, reinforce Medicare and Medicaid and fix healthcare and education in this country before we slip any further down the ladder as judged by the world.

And, God help me, I believe we can do this.

I also want gun violence, gay rights, voting rights and regulation and a host of other needs addressed….. EVENTUALLY, and I believe that too can be addressed.

I know we would benefit from ongoing and intensive research and discussion of new ways to identify and address our challenges. But approaching them with the term “socialism” is utterly unacceptable.

Let's face it; we are a conservative SPECIES, not just a nation or a community. It took us 200,000 years to get out of the blessed trees for crying out loud, and that instinctual hesitation does not disappear because we have computers and AI.

If anything, those things enhance our fear of change and long standing Luddite thinking. The idea of sacrificing the painful, long winded and often inconclusive process of CHOICE to a machine because it is convenient is horrifying.

So is the idea that most of this nation is ready to embrace anything termed SOCIALISM. I guarantee you the fascist enemy wants that definition smeared on every bumper sticker and yard sign! Because it will assure their victory in the Senate and the white house, guaranteed.

Progressive? Sure! Images of Teddy (and Eleanor) Roosevelt should be everywhere. Revealing what great things that ideology has achieved, and continues to achieve is wonderful. Unemployment Insurance, social security, rural electrification and healthcare, national parks are all great things which we should be proud of!

Having “socialists” rewrite the tax code? I can count the number of votes that idea will receive in MOST of America on zero fingers. And “most” of America controls the Senate and the electoral college, so be ready for a shock if you really believe that will pass muster.

Yes, the idea is good for America! Yes the right energy will overturn the big beautiful abomination and help right the ship. Yes we need to explore and develop new thinking for the age to come.

But if people are frightened, and they are, even if they won't admit to it, they will run to old ways and old systems for comfort. If they are engaged and understand their role and the benefit they will receive well that is a whole different aspect of the effort.

That is also the aspect that is missing from the socialist movement. It's just another group of “experts” telling me they are smarter than I am and I should just trust them …. Just like the Orange Disaster.

Experts automatically become targets, especially if they bring actual, hard data with them:

I was in an economic development seminar once and a guy was speaking about “economic incubators” which help small businesses get going with low rents shared services and other supports.

This poor man observed the “80% of incubator businesses are run by men because most women owned businesses move from the home, directly into their own office complex” It was a compliment, but the ten or so women in the seminar jumped down his throat with NO data, NO experience and NO counter information. They just felt he was being biased against women and had to be corrected.

He was not being biased and they were being idiots. Most women owned businesses start in the home because that's where the women were, at least in the 90’s…

This is exactly what the “socialists” will experience in every town hall meeting that is NOW ridiculing and abusing their Republican representative because they are just another “expert” not listening to them or helping them. But this one calls herself a SOCIALIST.

To provide a reality check if sorts; Richard Nixon resigned on August 9 after months of publicity and investigation of multiple crimes including the illegal bombing of Laos and Cambodia. And yet 70% of the people in a national poll believed he didn't deserve to be president because “he used words that weren't in the Bible” because he swore (like a freaking teamster) in the oval office. True fact.

Again, we are a divers and wonderful nation, and it includes a number of people who simply will NEVER accept a socialist leader, but I bet they are ready to hear new ideas and provide input into potential solutions, if properly presented in the context of progressive Democrats.

You know who will support Socialist Democrats?

Republicans, they need them on the ballots

At one small city, on my first day someone said to me “When are you going to get us a Starbucks?” I answered truthfully “never” and went on to explain that Starbucks was (during its heyday) the “Retail Antichrist”.

“You have two local cafes here in town and three diners. If we bring in Starbucks they will crush all coffee competition and try to steal breakfast business as well.” I managed to keep that job and did some good for a struggling city, but never sought a Starbucks as the solution.

The same was true of casinos. Don't get me wrong some of the RESORT casinos with several golf courses, concert venues, various hotels are economic juggernauts. They bring people in and contribute more than their share of tax revenue and community benefit.

But the standalone, strip mall or old factory single building draw people in, take their money, feed them a plastic chicken and send them home (usually by bus). No one wanders the town, no one eats at the diner and (thanks to the buses) they don't even buy gas in those places.

But they do create jobs and (by and large) pay people well, which benefits the community because THOSE people eat breakfast, buy gas and pay taxes. They can be a considerable economic force in that way.

Now consider the latest and greatest economic miracle: the data center. Single buildings covering dozens of acres, gobbling up incredible energy and employing..…maybe 50 people who monitor computers. Bet they bring their own lunch too!

Just read about one being built in Louisiana ( one of the candidates for Dumbest State in America, get your votes in!). This facility, which I am sure Mikey Johnson and Stevie Selise are darn proud of, will consume three times the amount of energy as the ENTIRE CITY of New Orleans, and employ (maybe) a hundred people.

I've been to New Orleans, and I can tell you there are many more employed people there than 100. Come to think of it there are more unemployed people than 100!

So what is the logic of fighting for this empty promise of economic success?

(AUTHORS NOTE; This is where I usually offer a series of bullet points to provide answers to a question posed as part of the essay, supporting or refuting a position on a avilable evidence or suspicion).

NOT THIS TIME . I cannot for the life of me construct a single reason why such a facility would be good for any community. I support the venture capitalists who are investing in putting these things on barges on the ocean or sending them out in space. Makes most sense to me. While communities may lose some tax revenue (which they are probably willing to forgo anyway for a few years to attract this madness) they also don't have to invest billions in their energy infrastructure!

Best of all, if you high tech morons want these techgluttons (remember, you saw that word here first!) so badly to build your business, YOU can ship them to space or out to sea and figure how to power them, AND PAY FOR THEM YOURSELF! The dollar fifty in lost tax revenue will be made up by new retail or REAL corporate investments.

When the history of this era is written a hundred years from now, the authors will point to two things (other than the Orange Disaster and his family) as proof of how STUPID people can be;

Cryptocurrency and data centers.

They are false gods of economic promise.

HOLD ON KIDS!

The real work is just ahead! We probably cannot undo the damage inflicted upon our Democracy in a single term of office. Nor can we rebuild the trust we once deserved from our allies (although could someone please research where we should send the cakes for Canada and Mexico?).

But we can, and must determine our strategy, ideology and leaders for the transition. And let’s start with leadership;

I loved Nancy Pelosi. She stood strong and proud against the Republican tide and fought with true vigor. But when she got her dream president and congress, her bitching just sounded old and tired.

We needed warriors during the reign of terror, but we got chuck Schumer. I admired chuck for his self control initially, thinking that the Republicans were so boldly insipid an completely unprepared in 2007 that they would hang themselves in no time (How about that healthcare plan we were promised TEN YEARS ago?)

But in the second horror, we needed a fighter, someone out there with ideas and outrage and dedication to change. Like Bernie, but not Bernie either.

But we stilll had chuck.

That has to CHANGE. I do not have a recommention except to say that this champion of freedom cannot come from the coasts. We need a solid, stalwart, respected individual ready to battle and knowing the sky is the limit if we plan and execute carefully. Mark Kelly would be genius, but I am hopeful there would be others as well.

Hakeem is now HasBeen. When he took over and explained ALPHABETICALLY what we needed to right the ship of state and forge a bright future out of the ruins of the first Disaster, I was inspired.I had never heard such a comprehensive summary of our needs, presented from memory no less!

But Hakeem decided to become a politician instead of a leader and fell into the NYC Mayors contest; a political minefield if ever there was one, and then fell into the pocket of Israel, which should not be surprising for any NY politician, but I though he knew better and could rise above the Zionist Crapola.

Again I do not know who would be best for our future and I am sorry to say it is NOT Hakeem, who came ready to fight, but fought the wrong enemies and fought poorly. But I do know that out next champion must represent the suburb or even the rural parts of America with a folksy charm and a delightful energy and yes, IF Bernie were ten years younger and had not started his career as a Communist, it could be him.

But it cannot be him now.

Our leaders will need to oversee and execute a complex response to a multivariant problem.

• We will need a cabinet of qualified individuals (who the Fascists will hate), no more Bozos on the Bius

• We will need a justice department who can effectively recruit real lawyers and not lapdogs (a supply of “We’re Sorry” notecards should be included)

• We need a carefully managed and focused impeachment procedure. Yes Epstein is awful, but destroying the White House, accepting the plane from Qatar and the unbelievable grift involving Tweedledum 1and 2 (the spawn of evil) will play much better on main street and force the Republicans to show overdue outrage at the way we were duped by Teedledum Prime

Yes, I know there are 2,465 other elements which may come into play. But we have to NAIL HIM fast and sure to get him out office. So our leaders need to assure everyone that our technique may seem simple, but it will achieve our goal.

We will get to prosecute the family. Hegseth will face the world court for war crimes. ICE murderers will be arrested tried and put away, if not executed for their crimes and, of course, epstein will be revealed to the world, and Ghislaine will be returned t an actual prison

Focus people. The cracks have appeared, the opposition is feeling panic and the future is the brighest it has ever been.

MAKE SURE YOU VOTE or SHUT UP AND GO AWAY.

There will be people in your community who will be genuinely afraid to vote (yes, really, and let that sink in). The elderly, people of color, legitimate citizens who chose this country for its freedoms who may need company to go vote. Organize community volunteers to bring them to and from the polls and make certain that Trumps Goons stay at bay. Go in groups if need be but help us profundly and completely rid this country of the evil infesting our democracy by VOTING and making certain others can vote.

Then let the games begin

Own the courts with appointees who would not question the party perspective, even in the face of clear constitutional law.

Weaken all “enemies” especially the media and the large universities through lawsuits, funding cuts and staff reductions.

Own the military by reducing the resistence to total domination by a class of officers and administrators who could identify, disarm and control fascism with their eyes closed, and replace them with people willing to sign up for personal loyalty over constitutional requirements

That's it, plan completed.

But party leadership missed a few things!

It DID NOT include a poorly conceived and disastrous attempt at controlling Iran.

There was no provision for a new plane gifted by Qatar nor a complete renovation of the reflecting pool.

Sure, we expected some pardons would be granted but no one thought they would be sold openly.

The party leaders knew that his pure evil and greed would have to allow some “leeway” in the Emoluments laws, but that could be reasonably contained with a congressional lapdog in place.

Who knew his kids would be as greedy as him? They have run roughshod through every aspect of diplomacy, commerce and rational economic theory without constraint or control.

How could we have overlooked the fact that he would build himself a bunker to escape to by destroying the White House without permission.

Plus, didn't we expect the Epstein stuff to be scrubbef and sanitized before exposure?

Weren't the euro leaders supposed to fold under Meloni and that idiot from Hungary?

So now, the question is: HOW SOON CAN WE CUT OUR LOSSES AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THE MASTER PLAN?

The “party” has installed their leadership in many critical election roles do as to assure limited voting “interference”.

The “party” has cleared the way for billions of “investments” to flow through government into industry without oversight, especially where such investment may be used to electoral advantage.

Party members now own much of the media and control much of the law enforcement and justice functions on the federal level.

So why, they are asking, do we need the embarrassment of a senile egomaniac who inserts himself into every possible opportunity to sell his “brand” at the expense of reinforcing our successes?

I guarantee this conversation is ongoing, and may soon be held in the offices of the Speaker and Senate majority leader.

If I were immoral and greed driven that's what I would do. Figure a way to remove the cancer so as to strengthen a weakened body….. Our guide has brought us to political Nirvana (or Valhalla according to a few misguided macho idiots), so why put up with the noise resulting from continued and relentless stupidity?

Because that is what the Orange Disaster has always been: an easily manipulated, ego driven idiot who will do their bidding so long as it has his name on it and makes him money. While conscientious objectors focus on his erratic behavior, or are amused by his sitcom antics, the real work of destroying Democracy may be completed.

Trump will be tossed aside soon, but those of us who have objected to him have no reason to celebrate.

The real work is about to begin
