"I'm calling time of death on the rule of law this past Sat, Sept 20, 6:44 pm. The rule of law would not allow an American president to do something like this..." Miles Taylor, Former Trump Homeland Security Official. Trump sent AG Bondi a message demanding prosecution of political adversaries.

Putin's and Trump's Bromance is alive and well.

If you refuse to hear, you will eventually feel.

50 heavily armed, masked ice agents in military garb were walking through a West Jordan, UT neighborhood this week. We wanted chaos at the border to stop not to move into our workplaces and communities. Imagine doing yard work or walking your dog & running into dozens of heavily armed, masked men.

People wanted chaos at the border to end. They didn't want chaos shifted into our workplaces and communities.

Steven Miller is a White Nationalist obsessed with "White-ifying" America. He now has a budget to make all his dreams come true. ICE will have 5 times more money than the entire U.S. prison system. He wants to detain 3,000 migrants per day which is a loss of 84,000 employees per month. Devastating!

The Rolling Stone reports that Trump's birthday bash is wildly unpopular. A poll finds 3 out of 4 Americans oppose it, including a majority of Republicans. They are expecting over 3 million to attend one of the 'No Kings' peaceful protests with worldwide support.

The current administration wants to decimate the State with the 4th largest economy in the world. Last Thursday, California was doing fine. Trump and his people came on Fri and now they are not fine. It will take years to clean up Trump's mess. That will be Trump's legacy, cleaning up his mess.

L.A. is part of Trump's playbook. A distraction from worst week he's had. It is to distract from his fight with Elon, his big bad bill not passing the Senate, disastrous comments he made about Putin and Zelinsky like children when Putin is a terrorist killing children, and his flailing tarriffs.

Now that Trump and Musk have broken up, could we get Trump to break up with Putin as well?

DEI is now more popular than DJT!!!

A Pew Research Center poll found 53% of Americans disapprove of Trump's actions to end DEI. Only 40% approve of the job Trump is doing.

100 "OOPS" in 100 days!!!
April 24, 2025 at 1:25 PM
The Trump Administration is coming up on accumulating a 100 "OOPS" in their first 100 days. No other presidency in our history has accomplished this level of incompetence.

On the flip side, penguins don't care if their economy goes underwater.

'They're eating the squids'. 'They're eating the fish'... Those Penguins, they get a Tarriff!!!

I just called my Senator's Washington DC. Phone number. Everyone call your Senators. Tell them to fix this tariff situation, and let them know that it's urgent. We cannot wait and see. We are losing thousands of dollars by the day out of our 401k's.

A great sign I saw today:

Make Lying Wrong Again!!!

Today is a turning point:

1. Crawford beat Elon/Trump, "Courts are not for Sale"

2. Booker got the fight to save Democracy off to a great start.

3. Florida showed Republicans that 20 points isn't enough cushion to save their seat.

4. Elon is so far under water he can't save your campaign.

Senator John Thune (R) said, "We have a mandate to govern." Susan Crawford in Wisconsin has just ended that "mandate". After today, Republicans can no longer falsely believe they have a mandate from Americans to destroy our democracy.
April 2, 2025 at 2:55 AM
People say that they want the Democrats to fight. It looks like Cory Booker has finally gotten the fight off to a good start.
April 2, 2025 at 12:06 AM
"...we have a president who doesn't think the rule of law applies to him. So anybody using their voice and using what is available to us, I think that is important." Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii says about Cory Booker.

When a historian on Fascism at Yale, Jason Stanley, is contemplating leaving the US and working at a University in Canada, we should all pay heed.
March 27, 2025 at 3:17 PM
Bertrand Russell once said about Fascism, "First, they fascinate the fools. Then they muzzle the intelligent."

The US struck Yemen without the EU asking. JD Vance said that they did it for the EU. The US now thinks the EU should pay up. Sounds like an elementary school bully or a "Protection Racket".

Oxford Economics, predicts that the US tourism sector could face a $64 billion loss in 2025 due to lower levels of international and domestic travel.
