What Trump is doing now is similar to a Tornado touching the ground and destroying everything with it, our Democracy, the Rule of Law and then SCOTUS is giving him free hand to rule as he sees fit. Will we be able to turn it around. My family is experienced Hitler, this is much faster, so I worry.

European leaders are coming to Washington with Zelensky on Monday. Smart move so Trump cannot just embarrass and bully Zelensky and will have to show more reference and all of them can tell Trump in no uncertain terms that giving up all that territory is dead on arrival.

Dutch artist Judith Van Leeuw did this mural in France of the Statue of Liberty silent protest against immigration policies in this country. The shame associated with them is real.

We are forever grateful for the soldiers that liberated us in the Netherlands and paid the ultimate sacrifice. They fought fascism so we can be free. All the graves are adopted by a Dutch family who then cares for that grave. We will never forget!

What is the chance when you go out to breakfast with grandkids in Colorado and your waitress takes your order and you get your coffee in a mug from your town. Fun coincidence.

The first concentration camps in Germany were established after Adolf Hitler's became chancellor in 1933. The Storm Troopers and police established camps beginning in February 1933. These camps were set up to handle the masses of people arrested as alleged political opponents. 44000 camps.

Good morning from our new home in Colorado where the community looks out on the Garden of the Gods. Not bad for two old folks downsizing to be closer to children and grandchildren. Away from the madness near DC a little bit, although I will miss the good people there and the cherry blossoms.

Trump is buckling down and doesn’t give a rat’s ass about those of us seniors with some retirement saving or anybody with savings for that matter. And these Republicans in Congress will not stop him. It is beyond atrocious that this man can take us all down with his sick idea of power.
