Trump is rapidly deteriorating mentally and physically. The confusion, rambling, ranting and rage posting are obvious signs. The yellow complexion, bruised hands, swollen feet and public sleeping are also obvious signs. It is not sedition or treason to point this out. It is the truth.

Trump’s latest social media ranting closing the airspace over Venezuela to commercial airlines is illegal and extremely dangerous. He is using this as a distraction from his unpopularity, incompetence, declining health and immorality. Where is Congress?

The fascist Trump Administration is cascading down the totalitarian rabbit hole. The wholesale persecution of political enemies continues with the baseless Letitia James indictment. The resistance must intensify. This horror must end.

Trump’s deployment of federal troops to Portland, Oregon is obvious distraction from the Epstein files. There is no need for this. It is the move of a weak, frightened despot.

Kenvue should sue the Trump Administration for slander and defamation to the tune of 10’s of billions of dollars. Trump and Kennedy offered no credible evidence of a link between the use of Tylenol and autism. This is pure unadulterated negligence by the federal government.

Another case of overt thievery and corruption from the Trump Administration. White House boarder czar Tom Homan caught on camera taking a $50,000 bribe from undercover FBI agents. However, the case was quashed by the Justice Department in January 2025 Good job Trump.

Trump’s intention to fire U.S. Attorney Eric Siebert after he failed to find evidence that New York Attorney General committed mortgage fraud is a blatant abuse of power. It is also evidence of an illegal vendetta against Letitia James, In a rational, just society he would be impeached for this.

Charlie Kirk was a divisive figure in American society. He made racist, misogynistic and homophobic comments. His death was a tragedy. As is the thousands who will die via gun violence this year. However, it does not justify the suppression of criticism and dissent by the Trump Administration

The removal of Jimmy Kimmel Live is an absolutely shameful act by Disney and ABC. It is a direct kowtowing to the fascist and authoritarian Trump administration. It is an overt threat to our American ideals. This country and its leaders cannot let this stand.

FCC Chairman Brendon Carr’s diatribe against Jimmy Kimmel and threats to Disney and ABC is shockingly fascist and authoritarian. Criticism and dissent are cornerstones to a free society. A stand must be taken. Kowtowing to overt fascism must end.
