I am an American.
I have been one for 75 years.
I've always known who the "enemy" was during that time.
Now here we are in 2025.
A convicted criminal is in the White House running the show.
A few months ago Putin was our enemy, Zelensky our ally.
Now this has flipped.
Who is my enemy?
The U.S.A.?

I love my country. I think our military for their service. If the military decides to invade other countries or cause harm to American people people, I will no longer cherish them. They have to stand up for themselves and for the country and for people of the country. That's America.

Today the Pentagon censured Senator Mark Kelly and moved to strip part of his earned military retirement benefits for stating the truth.
This administration is trying to convince Americans that truth is whatever it says it is—even when the evidence is plainly in front of us.

The wealthy are always so GD worried some poor people are gonna commit some small time fraud. Meanwhile, big corporations are committing HUGE afraid. Just look at defense contractors.
Why? Because we have all been taught to see the wealthy as virtuous and to see the poor as lazy and unworthy.
