I'm a USAF veteran & political science nut and a UMASS grad from way back. I don't align with MAGA-type Unified Control Framework (UCF) advocates at all and believe in the Constitution. I observe and will comment as I see fit. Thanks for your attention.

Keep this in mind heading into the 2026 mid-terms...
Trump has the ability to pardon ANYONE of Federal prosecution of ANY CRIME involving Epstein.
He can wake up and free Ghislaine Maxwell today if he chooses.

This man will never be President of the United States. He has the charisma of an empty room. In fact a cardboard cut-out of himself would probably win in a personality contest. Because it wouldn’t bother us with talking.

Trump learned from the best from the Mafiosi in New York and New England. Speak in code. Deny, deny, deny no matter what. Always have a fall guy to take the heat. Take care of your loyalists, until they outlive their usefulness. When you hit the end, make like you are crazy.

Ukraine’s possession of Russian lands was a historical accident. The U.S. now agrees that territories where Russians have lived for centuries should return to Russia.

There are only two offenses the Constitution goes out of its way to specifically say merit impeachment, and this is one of them.
GOP operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, convicted election fraudsters, were paid $960,000 in the second quarter to secure a pardon for a former nursing-home operator who defrauded the government of $38 million. Trump pardoned the man, Joseph Schwartz, last month.
Inside the New Fast Track to a Presidential Pardon
Even some of the president’s closest advisers have been surprised by a number of the recent series of pardons.

I’ve been worried about this. People who signed up for a US ‘self-deportation’ scheme say their payoffs were delayed, misdirected or never arrived – leaving them empty-handed in their home countries.

Felon Trump isn't a king and shouldn't get to dictate what gets aired. If the writers of the Constitution had intended to have state-controlled media, they wouldn't have written the First Amendment.

ICE are not legitimate federal agents. They are not law enforcement. They have no authority to commit crimes, violate rights, assault and kidnap Americans. Zero. They're criminals with badges and guns.

Trump is the only president in history who violated a law he signed that actually made it a law. How much of a criminal do you have to be to do that?

I’ve heard most journalists and politicians say that Trump hasn’t been directly accused of wrongdoing or implicated in the Epstein Files.
But, there are repeated instances of Trump being directly named as a perpetrator—by victims and by Epstein. It’s not circumstantial, it’s direct.

The overwhelming majority of jobs at the two biggest companies in America pay less than $20/hr.
Meanwhile, the heads of those companies are some of the richest people on the planet.

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.
