Trump has alienated America’s friends and supporters, destroyed our relationship with NATO and the rest of the world.
If Trump was not such a psychopath we would not be involved in a Middle Eastern War for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
Obama made a perfectly acceptable deal with the Government of Iran with the Ayatollah and it was beneficial to Iran to accept and uphold that agreement.
It was only for his own ego that Trump had to destroy Iran in order to create a war to make himself look like a hero.
The man has the ego of a mountain and the brains of a sewer rat.
Trump should be impeached. He should be declared unfit to serve as President of the United States before he destroys the country completely.
How do we do that? How do we do that?
We the people can do it.
We the people can elect a congress and a senate who will serve the people of America and refuse to kiss Trump’s ring.
For God’s sake, let’s do it.
The Thieves Among Us
Why should we worry about people with insider information profiting in the stock market, futures markets, or even crypto-powered predictions markets?
For one thing, it’s unfair. It hurts average investors while increasing the wealth of certain people who know, for example, what Trump is about to do (including Trump and members of his family).
We should all be concerned that the top enforcement officer at the SEC abruptly resigned last week because the SEC’s chairman and other Republican appointees wouldn’t allow her to be more aggressive in pursuing charges of fraud and other misconduct against Trump’s inner circle.
Friends, there’s a word for this. It’s called corruption.
Farewell, My Love. Dearest of All, Farewell…
There’s something wrong with America today that has enabled us to elect someone who committed treason against the United States. Does it not seem strange to Americans that, despite charges against him, Trump has nonetheless been elected President of the United States of America?
Now, is it also not strange that a man who has made billions and billions of dollars while in office; who has destroyed the White House; and, so far, has not used his own money to rebuild it. Who has taken America into a war in the Middle East with no reason, no plan, and no allies. If Trump is not stopped, America will be destroyed by him.
He is Putin’s “thing,” and together, their desire is to destroy the United States of America. And they are succeeding.
Is War Destiny or Destruction?
Does the president of the United States of America have the right to declare war or to start wars against any country which he decides is an enemy of America? Does the congress of the United States have something to say about whether the country goes to war or not? Should we not, as a nation, have some control over whether or not war should be declared?
In the case of Iran, it may be a good thing that Trump has eliminated the Ayatollah (the scourge of the Middle East for 45 years). But there is a good probability, his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, now his successor–a man of no experience, background, and, probably, no plan for the future of Iran–will be even more dangerous. There needs to be a plan for what is to be done with him. But, instead, Donald Trump created a vacuum now filled by Khamenei, and, as is typical of Trump, he has no plan for the future. Now, we are all left with bated breath, waiting to see what happens. He has left us hanging and wondering, “are we on the brink of another full on global war?”
National Emergency
“We are in a moment of crisis.
I fear for this body, I fear for this institution, I fear for our Constitution, but I still have faith in the people.
We can stop this erosion of our constitutional norms, we can stop this democratic backsliding, we can protect our rights and our values, but more people need to speak up, and it is a shame upon this body that those who have power and position now do nothing.”
– Cory Booker, US Senator for NJ
Hitler, We are Home to You
In 1933 Hitler came to power in Germany.
He destroyed the country; murdered 6 million jews plus God knows how many other people.
Led Germany and the world into World War II.
Today, we have Donald J. Trump, Hitler here in our own country.
He has destroyed tactical relationships that have kept the world out of war for 60 years.
His attack on Iran, whether good or bad, may lead us into World War III.
Trump is an egotistical destroyer, always looking for the most violent way to solve problems.
He is denigrating America.
He wants a dumbed down, unhealthy, poor American public whom he can whiplash and move into any direction of his choice.
He has alienated every Country in the world and destroyed every international relationship that America has had and is now leading us into World War III.
This time we will fight alone. We will have no allies. And we will be fighting a war that we cannot win.
Go to the polls and vote. Vote against Trump.
Fight. Fight to save our nation, our country, our America.
Fight even to save our inalienable right to vote.
The Law is the Law for All
If you were doing the right thing, why would you wear a mask to hide your identity?
ICE was created in 2002 in response to the attacks in New York on 9/11.
It has since become an independent organization serving at the personal whim of an egotistical, demented president.
ICE was not created to simply pick people up off the street – women, children, families – nor to kill them.
The cost is very high and very dangerous to the survival of our democracy.
You are not allowed, as President, to deny Americans of their legal rights under the law.
Even the President of the United States must be subject to the law of the land.
The legal rights of the people must be observed.
“Successful” Failures
The “self- made man”…
In today’s market, the money Trump’s father gave him would be the equivalent of $413 million.
Perhaps it’s interesting to know something about Trump’s claims of great personal success as a businessman…
Trump University- 2005- Was to offer insider education in real estate without accreditation and from barely qualified professors. Trump paid a $25 million settlement for fraud and deceptive practices in 2017.
Trump Entertainment Resorts filed for bankruptcy in 1991, 2004, 2009 and 2014. These resorts included:
Trump Taj Mahal
Trump Plaza
Trump Castle
Trump World’s Fair
Trump Marina
Trump Mortgage was started in 2006 but failed by 2008 due to the housing market crash.
Truth Social was founded in 2022 and remains in operation. It is unprofitable and is reporting losses.
Trump Steaks was to offer luxury steaks in 2007 and was pulled only 2 months later after selling almost no steaks.
The Trump Network was a multi-level marketing company for personalized vitamins. Trump backed it in 2009. It closed down in 2012.
Trump Vodka. In 2006, Trump Vodka was offering luxury vodka but failed to find a consumer base and the manufacturing was slow. It was out of business by 2012.
Trump Shuttle- 1989- Trump purchased Eastern Airline’s shuttle service and rebranded it as a luxury travel experience. But, weighed down by debt, labor disputes, and fuel cost, it was absorbed by competitors only three years later. He never made a profit.
GoTrump.com– 2006 – Was a website for booking travel but failed to gain traction and closed a year later.
Trump Ice- Early 2000s- Offered bottled water, but faded in 2010 due to market competition.
Trump Home- 2007- Offered luxury furniture to emulate the “Trump Lifestyle”. Sales declined and they lost partnership with Macy’s.
Trump Fragrances- Fragrances were sold at major retailers and initially drew some attention, but competition from established brands and political backlash eventually took their toll.
Trump: The Game- 1989- A board game that underperformed on shelves and was quickly discontinued. It had a brief revival in 2004 riding the wave of the “Apprentice”.
Trump Communications / Trumpet – Offered phone services specializing in international calls but was unable to secure infrastructure or market share.
Trump Magazine- 1997- initially called “Trump Style”, was free at Trump properties. Publication stopped in 2009 with unpaid bills and disillusioned staff.
Trump Institute- 2005-2009- Offered seminars and workshops, often featuring promotional videos of Trump himself. However, controversies plagued the institute, including allegations of plagiarized materials, misleading marketing practices, and prioritizing profit over genuine education.
What more is there to say?
Destruction From Within
This letter says it all:
“Of all the terrible and dangerous things Trump and the Republicans have done, the assault on voting rights is the most dangerous for the future of the country and the thing that will have the longest impact.
The Trump legacy will be clear in the long run: stacking the courts to concentrate unlimited and unchecked power in the Presidency, attacking and bullying the media and universities, threatening law firms and corporations, sending masked armies into the cities and attacking and murdering citizens, spiriting people away and imprisoning them without due process, provoking and bullying other nations, undermining alliances, catering to Putin and other authoritarian dictators, imposing senseless tariffs to increase his own power and leverage over countries and whole industries, lying and deceiving the American people every day about facts and truths, undermining public health, pitting cities against rural America and blue States against red States, promoting a white Christian Nationalist agenda that has set the clock back and reversed decades of progress promoting civil rights and reducing racism , progress that had increased education and made it more accessible to those least able to access or afford it, and progress that gave the 99% of Americans who were not super-rich a chance to lead a decent, healthy, productive and happy life and at least some hope that they could do so.
He will be remembered as a grifter who pocketed billions for himself and his family, who headed a corrupt administration that made a mockery of the very idea of public service and has have been in lock-step with this evil man in a non-stop assault on the mechanisms, values, insitutions and history that have made America great. He is a convicted fraudster, rapist, tax cheat and felon who should have been convicted of abuse of power, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and obstructing and trying to overturn an election.
Why he hates America so much and wants to destroy it is a mystery to me. Why so many elected officials are willing to go along with with his attack on the country they are sworn to serve is at best pathetic and sad.
Yet, the attack on voting is the most egregious and harmful of all his many anti-American actions and policies, because it is the one thing that, if successful, cannot be undone.
I count the days until the 2028 elections, hoping that somehow, Trump will turn out to be a nightmarish episode in American history, but only an episode and not the end of the American democracy.
Let’s do everything we can to protect the future of our country.”

Look Closely, America
America must look very closely at ICE.
It becomes increasingly clearer that ICE is Trump’s personal private army.
Is it clear that the President of the United States has the right to deploy, at whim, an army of people who wear masks and whose training and responsibility and ownership is not clear?
What seems to be clear is that they have the right to stop and kill anybody.
Has America ever had an army of masked, free ruling, stormtroopers who have the right to murder American citizens?
Under the guise of pretending that they, and they alone, know that this American citizen is a criminal.
This is clearly Hitler’s Germany, come to America.
We may have to have a similar war in order to stop this.
To have masked agents arresting American citizens without due process is anti-American.
Again, rise up en masse, America. Hit the streets and vote vote vote.
