A thoughtful, principled, and reflective individual with a rich background of 40 years in business, global travel, and final chapter as a teacher, with a heart for mentorship, committed to passing on meaningful values—engagement, fairness, and the future.
It is such a shame that during these couple of years available to celebrate 250 years of the United States of America and all that has been accomplished that trump-world has seen fit to sew such mistrust, fear and division! What a sad excuse of a man! And, shame on all his sycophants too!

Fascism continued: Belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy. Opposed to Marxism, democracy, anarchism, pluralism, free markets, communism, liberalism, and socialism.

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests.

We are at the inflection point for America’s future. Trump-world really doesn’t care. They will just ignore and make outlandish statements but, WILL DO NOTHING in the cases of court directives because they run the DOJ, the Federal Marshals and everything that isn’t local law enforcement.

We are at the inflection point for America’s future. Trump-world really doesn’t give a hoot for what the courts, including SCOTUS, judge and serve up in rulings. They will just ignore and make outlandish statements but, WILL DO NOTHING in the cases of court directives because they can’t be stopped!

Don’t go running down the street with your hair on fire but, we didn’t have to wait long (even if you consider our 250 year history) for a scumbag autocrat like trump to flaunt rulings and ignore the rule of law! We now get to watch SCOTUS twist itself into pretzel so they don’t tell him what to do!

Voters won’t care about edicts unless they are stopped from voting because they need two pieces of ID and it interrupts all the other errands they’re trying to do that day! Let’s face it, while horrible to contemplate half our nation has voted and scuttled “the Great Experiment”!

It is sad to have to say this but, the only way Trump-World will be stopped is when real voters get hurt or affected PERSONALLY! The American people are basically self-centered, self-serving and lazy. The opposing messaging and “screaming in the wind” won’t change a thing.

Made a mistake - Hegseth was a Major and should have known better; it’s the Vice President who was the corporal - if it wasn’t ALL SO SERIOUS it’d be laughable! If the President was an executive in one of my companies I’d have had him “separated without pay” just for his HR choices!

Team Trump risked
Americans’ safety and all of it is in the hands of unqualified amateurs, who clumsily invited The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief to join a chat about a military strike.

This is why you don’t put a U.S. Marine CORPORAL in charge of the DoD!! Are you kidding - fire this mutt!

Always a danger: Dangerous & famous Milgram experiment demonstrated that people are highly likely to follow orders from authority figures, even if it means harming others.

Military & police operate within strict hierarchies that reinforce obedience through training, discipline & cultural norms.

The PEOPLE have to keep in touch with family members in uniforms so the “ common sense” and national idea of “what’s right & wrong” are kept alive. Just as in China, North Korea, Russia, Venezuela and other non-democracies.

In America the LLEs, government police, military and civilian peace keepers can think for themselves. With over 15.8 MILLION veterans in the USA we’ll walk Trump-World’s “secretaries of mutts and Musk” to the exits!
March 24, 2025 at 2:26 PM
However, as a one-time Sergeant of US Marines we don’t need to have JAG officers telling us what a “lawful order” is. If it doesn’t “feel right” the lowest private knows you don’t do it! These mutts Trump-World have another think coming if in America they believe they can just tell us to keep peace!

Musk, Trump & the mongrel-secretaries: in autocratic nations the members of the military & police develop strong groups, often seeing themselves as separate from the general population. Their loyalty is frequently directed toward their comrades & institution itself rather than the broader society.
