​​    the war on mental illness

           BY BOB  FRISBY, M.S.







I didn't want to have any political comments in this web-site but the current so called republican party is encouraging delusional thinking; basically, encouraging people to be mentally ill !  Something has to be said about this behavior:


When I think about politics these days, I'm thinking about capitalism,
socialism and fascism. Let’s look at their definitions:

Capitalism (according to my Webster’s New World Dictionary, College
Edition, 1962): “the economic system in which all or most of the means of production and distribution, as land, factories, railroads, etc., are privately owned and operated for profit, originally under fully competitive conditions; it has been generally characterized by a tendency toward concentration of wealth, and, in its later phase, by the growth of greater corporations, increased governmental controls, etc”.

Socialism (according to my Webster’s New World Dictionary, College Edition, 1962): “the theory or system of the ownership and operation of the means of production and distribution by society or the community rather than by private individuals with all members of society or the community sharing in the work and the products”.

Fascism (according to my Webster’s New World Dictionary, College Edition, 1962): a system of government characterized by rigid one-party dictatorship, forcible suppression of the opposition (unions, other, especially leftist, parties, minority groups, etc.), the retention of private ownership of the means of production under centralized governmental control, belligerent nationalism and racism, glorification of war, etc.

When I think of our two party system I think the Democrats are encouraging more socialism within our way of living, even though they're capitalist as well. I see Republicans wanting to hold onto their capitalist interests and currently leaning toward fascism as a way to add to their wealth. I don’t see the Democrats wanting to end capitalism and I do see some Republicans as being willing to spread some of their wealth around to the poor and disadvantaged. The current argument within our country appears to be this: what percentage of the profit made by capitalists should be taxed to assure that the poor and disadvantaged are living a lifestyle which includes having sufficient wages for their labor; so they can afford decent housing, eat healthy foods, dress in clothes that aren’t ragged, maintain a home,
afford decent health care, have reliable transportation to get to and
from work, and have sick leave and affordable child care services. The
“working class” deserves respect and compensation for the hard work they do keeping the rest of the world comfortable.

In the book I wrote: The War on Mental Illness (Street Version), I indicated my belief that my job was twofold; help my clients get a piece of America’s pie and make sure the people’s tax dollars are spent wisely. In my opinion, spending tax dollars looking into voter irregularities which have been proven to be no more significant than in any other election, is a big waste of money! Restricting the right of people to vote is as anti-American as Putin.

Now if you read various letters to the editor and books on politics, you’ll see that some people say that Democrats want to de-fund the police. I’m probably considered a moderate Democrat and I’m proud to say that I have voted for Republican Presidents (not Trump) and Republican Governors. I don’t believe in de-funding the police; hell, my son was a State Trooper! 

Some people say Democrats want Medicare for all, and I can tell you that I believe everyone should have the same coverage that our legislators have. You pay according to your means.

Some folks don’t want the United States in the UN, NATO or any Paris
Climate Accord, yet I, as a Democrat, feel these groups will save
our world from destruction. These groups are trying to maintain a peaceful world, and are doing a pretty good job against the evil that is out there.

Some say the Democrats don’t want religion and a Christian God as part of our national fabric, and I would disagree with that. There has to be separation of church and state, as that is what our nation was predicated upon. The United States didn’t want King George telling us how to practice our religion. The abortion issue is a good example of people wanting to force others to live according to their religious beliefs. I’ll leave it up to the pregnant woman to make her own decision and not hold her decision against her. It is an issue between her, her doctor and her Higher Power. Statistics would show that a sizable percentage of Democrats would try to find alternatives to abortion and therefore aren't necessarily pro-abortion. They should be considered pro-women's rights, even if they're in a pro-abortion rally. And remember this: when you say your anti-abortion, your also saying that doctors shouldn't remove a deceased fetus from a woman; shouldn't remove the miscarriage remains. Women are dying because legislatures are interfering with the provision of medical cares to pregnant women. You can put limits on abortive procedures, but you must include the statement that the physician in charge makes the final call on what procedure is necessary and the law makers leave the call alone! You can't be threatening doctors or others with lawsuits and still have proper health care in your state.

 I served five years of active duty in the US Army including nine months in Vietnam. Around election time I could be quoted quite frequently saying to people that I fought for their right to vote. I didn’t care who they voted for as that was up to them, but I wanted them to exercise their right to vote. I also commented that I fought for their right to have a different opinion than mine. When we entered the service there was an oath we recited and if the internet can be trusted, it went like this: “…I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of
Military Justice, so help me God.”

There was a Lt. William Calley in Vietnam who participated in the killing of innocent civilians at My Lai. He claimed he was ordered to do so by his commander, a captain Ernest Medina. Both ended up jailed, because if your behavior is breaking the Uniform Code of Military Justice or not in accord with our Constitution, you will be held accountable for those crimes. This should be the same for the January 6th attempt to overthrow our government. Just because Trump urged people to participate and fight, doesn’t mean they had to obey those orders; they’re illegal orders and the rioters should have known that.

 It is unfortunate that the current so called Republican Party has chosen to “live the lie” (i.e., the 2020 election was stolen from Trump and given to Biden) and not behave according to our Constitution. They need to stop making efforts to prevent some people from voting and instead encourage folks to vote. They need to stop lying. The Bar Associations of every Republican who continues to back “the big lie” should hold those representatives accountable and remove their license to practice law. The people they represent should make sure these particular Republicans don’t win re-election.

 There are still some great Republican legislators out there who know the election wasn't stolen and who support voter's rights; vote for them if you have Republican leanings. Just ask your Republican legislator if they believe the 2020 election was stolen from Trump. Ask them if they believe Trump was a good president. If they answer yes to either question, or don't answer at all, don't vote for them!

It is unfortunate that a large percentage of Americans have been watching Fox News, as this organization, in my humble opinion, is spreading “the big lie” and other misinformation which only divides our country’s people. The manner in which Fox News and the so called Republican Party under Trump have been treating the Covid virus pandemic is nothing short of criminal. So many lives were, and are being lost, because of them giving misinformation about the virus and refusing to accept scientific knowledge as a way to combat the virus.


Since Twitter has changed ownership recently, it has also again allowed hateful speech on it's product. There is no place in a civilized society for hate speech and therefore everyone should avoid using Twitter accounts. Don't even visit the site! It's also important to only use social media like facebook to communicate with your family and immediate friends; friends you can visit locally. Don't try to build a vast number of followers or establish "pen pals" out there with folks you only know by what they say on line. Don't visit Tik-Tok, even if it has interesting things displayed on its web-site; people can say things on these sites that aren't true and you will get caught up in the lies. Don't spend more than a couple hours a day involved with social media, unless it's your job. Remember that someone said "80% of communication is non-verbal". It is through face to face meetings that you gain and lose energy; where the humanness is clear. If you need friends, join local organizations in your area that are doing things you like to do. You will be rewarded for being more careful in this new world we live in.

It is my professional opinion that it is not beneficial to your mental health to watch Fox News. It is far better for your mind to watch the major network news channels, like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and PBS. While some of these appear to be democratic, that is only because they are speaking the truth and trying to stop “the big lie”. There are lots of newspapers and newsletters being circulated throughout the United States and the World. It is important to know who is behind the literature; for example, I received a newspaper called "The Epoch Times" in my mail. I checked it on the internet and learned it was from a far-right organization who backs Trump. Anyone who back Trump isn't worth your time or energy; don't subscribe to such junk.


If you hear a lie being spoken often enough, you begin to believe it; that is the line you then cross into what are called delusional beliefs. These are fixed erroneous beliefs that can't be changed by logical evidence. I believe the German people in the first part of the 20th century got caught up in Hitler's delusions. Hitler controlled what the mass media said and killed those who disagreed with him. Putin controls the mass media in Russia and puts his adversaries in prison. Trump called the news people of America “the enemy”, “fake news”.  He caused a riot where police were beaten and killed, on our capitol grounds!

And do you remember what happened in Jamestown? On November 18, 1978 a man named Jim Jones led hundreds of his followers in a mass murder-suicide in the South American nation of Guyana. Now we see Trump's followers being sent off to prison for doing what he recommended. Are Americans really considering voting him and his followers back in to office? Not me, I'm voting straight Democratic ticket in this next election.

It also appears that many people in America believe all sorts of conspiracy theories and are spending much time debating these theories. It is far better for your mental health to leave the conspiracy theories to the CIA, FBI and Homeland Security. You don’t have to worry about them or spend any time thinking about them. Let the government agencies work on those issues.

I always told my clients that if we didn’t have honest communication in our relationship, then we didn’t have a meaningful relationship. There are too many legislators who are being dishonest or evasive in their communications; they need to be voted out of office.

Some final thoughts for you to ponder: what is greed?  I believe it’s when you want more than you really need in life to fulfill your mission on this planet. Without a religious/spiritual base as your mission guide, you may well believe that fascism is the way to go. When it comes time to vote, it might be a good idea to ask yourself “who would Jesus Christ vote for?, Muhammad?, Buddha?, Confucius?, and for the Native Americans: Mother Earth?" They wouldn't vote on one issue, they would look at character, caring for others, honesty, and how they show respect for all things on this Mother Earth.          Entered May 2022


P.S:  I just saw an ad where a so called Republican said he was trusted by Trump and you can trust him to protect and fight for you. We don't want anyone in office who's supporting Trump or backed by him. Trump thinks putin is an OK guy. And what is this OK guy doing to the country of Ukraine? Killing women, children, the disabled and the aged. Trump and his so called republican backers are interested in filling their pockets with more money. These folks are full of the greed that isn’t healthy for them, their families or our nation. By the way, there is a significant percentage of democrats that are too greedy as well. The Republican Party as it stood prior to Trump becoming involved is no longer recognizable; it is now the "Trump cult". My dictionary defined a cult as: "devoted attachment to, or extravagant admiration for, a person, principle, etc., especially when regarded as a fad....a group of followers" For the past decade there has been a cultish movement to devalue our constitutional institutions, as if the government is your enemy. I have worked for local government and have seen the value of government oversight. Unless you have worked within one of these institutions of government, you can't say they should be abolished. Government agencies haven't spent your hard earned tax dollars trying to convince you that they're needed in order to help you; they just do their job and you benefit from it. Maybe they should start spending your dollars to tell you what they do that is so important to your way of life?

Reflections following the Nov 5, 2024 election:

*2000 years ago the Jews were asked who should live, Jesus or the rebellious Barabbas, and they chose Barabbas over Jesus; who was then crucified. For the majority of our country to choose Trump over Harris, it feels the same as way back then. And what did Christ say to those who chose Barabbas over him?...”forgive them Father for they know not what they do.” You who voted for Trump, voted for the wrong person and what follows should help you understand why I say this:

1. There is too much greed in America; people wanting more than they need to have a comfortable life. An awful lot of American's didn't vote for Harris because they wanted to expand their riches rather than help the poor and the middle class.

2. There is more racism in America than I could have imagined. Our country started out as a slave country; almost everyone owned a slave. Unfortunately, this led to non-slaves feeling and believing that they were better than the slaves. Many in our nation haven't gotten to the belief that black people are equal to them in our society. They still want to exert control over black people. It may even be in our DNA to experience this feeling. In the small mid-western town where I grew up we were taught that every person is equal in the sight of God. An awful lot of Americans didn't vote for Harris just because she's black; that is pure racism.

3.  There is a powerful amount of sexism in America. Most of the men here want to dominate women and have difficulty treating them as equals; worthy of having their own dreams, aspirations and interests. The next generation of women in this country don’t see themselves as being the one responsible for washing the clothes, making the meals, doing the dishes, cleaning the house, and staying home to watch the children until they get into school. The women of today expect to share these responsibilities with their partner. It’s important in your relationship with someone you’re engaged to, to discuss this change in social mores; establish the house rules before you move in together. Some men in fact, would prefer being the one staying home and taking care of home matters. This country should see women as equal to men and it's time for the men; no matter their culture, to change their attitude on this issue. An awful lot of men didn't vote for Harris just because she was a woman!

4. There is too much hatred for those in the LGBTQ community. I think this is fueled by religions that have deviated from Christ’s teachings (just one of his teachings as an example: “Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers; that you do unto me.”). Two men who had hatred in their souls killed Matthew Shepard, a gay man in Wyoming, in October of 1998; these men are now spending life in prison. Many men and women caught up in the prostitution life would prefer not to live that life and they do find themselves being the target of serial killers. The killer’s hatred is felt to be the justification for taking lives. We have no place for hatred of others in our society.

5. The women of America had two chances now to get a women elected as president and failed.  Both these women (Clinton & Harris) were excellent candidates and would have done a much better job in the position than Trump could have ever done! If I heard the statistics right, 74% of Latino men won't vote for a female president because she’s a woman; that's their culture apparently. Who are they to act like this when the husbands of these women backed the decision? Do you want us to tell your women how to act or what jobs they can apply for? In your country this may go without argument, not in America. 

6. It is true that a nationalism effort is rising up throughout the world because there are so many cultures merging in so many different countries, and it's happening very fast. People in various countries are saying "who are we now?" and they're seeing a fast changing landscape of different people with different beliefs; just like I said about Latino men and their power over their women; they came to this country with that part of their culture and are reluctant to change it. It will take time, but it has to happen. We are a melting pot of cultures and we should be proud of that; welcome them in and treat them with respect; give them time to adjust to our laws and beliefs.

7. Many of Trump's plans, included in Project 2025, are unacceptable to the majority of Americans. Project 2025 is the modern version of hitler’s Mein Kampf. Trump’s plans and behaviors will test the checks and balances that were built into our constitution. I believe the Supreme Court will stop some of those plans where they are appealed. Some of his cult members in the house and senate will not want to cooperate all the time because they're facing re-election; we should see some dragging of the feet so to speak, some outright refusals to cooperate. 

8. We need to continue to fight for the future of ourselves and our children. We need to participate by contacting our legislators regarding issues of import to us. We will need to join protests when necessary. As an example: when Musk comes up with a bright idea on how to cut costs with the federal budget, lets encourage our legislators to go to the street and talk to the clients and workers affected by budget cuts, to see what the result of a cut would be, before the cut is actually made. I remember a cut once that required clients to contribute toward their medication costs; like a person is going to contribute when they don't believe in the medication in the first place! We would have had increased hospitalizations and things were really getting out of control. We got a coalition of groups together and made a desperate appeal to our legislators to reverse the cut. It took six months and the cut was dropped. Quickest I've ever seen a change in legislation! You can bet that this Trump cult will want to take money away from caring for the poor and middle class.

9. The economy is always an issue for the voters. If they think the economy is bad they vote you out of office. The president of the United States has little control over the economy. It takes the house and senate to make it all work. You need to blame them for your financial woes. And the bottom line is this: a democratic president will do what he can for the poor and middle class. A so called republican will work to reduce spending and expand the money going to the wealthy. This is how it's been working for generations!  If your income is under $400,000 always vote democrat, it's as simple as that.

If you voted for Trump, I feel you carry some responsibility for the happenings that have occurred. Here's a listing of those happenings that I will add to from time to time:


1. Women have died in states where abortion has been abolished because they weren't given proper medical attention during their pregnancy. Read up on 35 y/o Porsha Ngumezi from Texas. She was eleven weeks pregnant and was miscarrying. She was bleeding profusely and went to the ER. She needed a D&C, but in Texas, this medical intervention is illegal under their anti-abortion law. In her bleeding she was already passing tissue and after blood transfusions, she was sent home; where she died from loss of blood. She is one of many women who have died in states where they passed anti-abortion laws while neglecting to approve appropriate pregnancy cares.

2. Racist hate male was sent to many black adults and children. This is a federal crime and is clear emotional abuse. 11-6-24

3. A mob in Amsterdam attacks Israeli soccer team members. Some of the team members may have taken down Palestinian flags. Let the police deal with the poor behavior; you don't beat on people. Nov 2024

4. Wal-Mart is reducing its diversity programs to be more in line with a majority of the voters. This strikes me as a racist behavior. The preamble of our constitution doesn’t support this behavior. The majority of Americans would prefer to pay no taxes and yet we pay taxes. Wal-Mart’s logic is like a water can with holes in it. 11-24-24

5. Ohio law bans transgender youth from using school bathrooms aligned with their gender identity. 11-27-24

6. North Carolina’s legislature is trying to remove power from state positions won by democrats and increase power in the one position they won. Big protests happening  in protest to this. It’s like the GOP is saying “What could we do to upset the democrats the most?”  Another case of dividing the country and causing chaos. 11-30-24

7. South Korea’s leader declares martial law as a way to control his opposition and is over-ruled by his assembly. Just trying what Trump imagined.

8. DACA children who were brought to this county illegally when they were newly born or very young weren’t able to get citizenship because they came illegally. They have lived here for many years, establishing lives and being good citizens. These large groups of children who are mostly adults now, know no other home than America. They are now very anxious given Trump’s deportation plans and will have to try and cope with strong stressors until a decision is made on their behalf. Right now Trump is saying that they can return to their previous homeland with their parents; a homeland they don’t feel any connection too. A lot of these now adults, had relatives who voted for Trump, thinking he wouldn’t touch the DACA children. Now we hear from immigration attorneys that this isn’t necessarily so. We now have an awful lot of “Americans” having sleepless nights. 12-19-24

9. Christopher Wray resigned his post as head of the FBI effective Jan 20, 2025. He still had three years left in his tenure and was an excellent, non-partisan head of the FBI. Trump was going to fire him and this would have led to many court hearings that would cost the taxpayer excessively, and allow continued degradation of the FBI by so called republicans at these hearings. There’s nothing wrong at the FBI. All the so called republican allegations are just a continuation of the lying that this cult had decided to encourage. They lie on so many different levels of government that you don’t know when they’re telling the truth. You want the truth, talk to a democrat and watch the news programs I’ve already mentioned. 12-10.24

10. A female coast guard commander named Elizabeth Nikagawa was denied a D&C for a miscarriage by military insurer Tricare in 2023, even though it had paid for the same procedure previously. She almost died. ProPublica has several stories like this, exposing the flip-side of the anti-abortion coin. How many women have to die or be near death before you anti-abortion people understand that pregnant women have to have care approved by a doctor, not by you? I wouldn’t be human if I weren’t angry about all these issues. 2023

11. Trump has nominated a raft of inappropriate people for high positions in his cabinet. The vast majority don’t have even the basic skills for the office they may run. Did you want this when you voted for Trump? Did you want people in high offices that foreign dignitaries would laugh at? Did you want them to tear down parts of our government without even knowing what important products are produced by that part of the government? There was talk about closing down the Department of Education. Do you all even know what that department does throughout the nation?  12-19-24

12. Musk leads the charge to kill the bi-partisan budget bill, which would keep the country running. Closing down the government doesn’t hurt the rich folks like Musk; just the poor and the middle class. 12-19-24

13 Trump talks about taking control over Greenland, Canada and the Panama Canal; as if he’s a dictator and our military will listen to such grandiose ideas. He wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America; another grandiose idea, just to get his name in print. This is an example of nation building that dictators like to engage in; like Putin and the head of China. We have NATO and The United Nations that have as goals to stop dictator types from trying to expand their borders. You want your family going to war to achieve these grandiose ideas? 1-7-25

14. Trump says there were no guns on the people that stormed the capital on Jan 6th, while we have clear evidence there were plenty of guns. He lies to you all the time; is this what you like? 1-7-25

15. Facebook ends fact-checking program in what it claimed was a move toward better free speech. So….their idea of free speech is to let people come on their site and tell lies that can get people killed. Another reason I have urged folks to stay off Facebook except for communication with people you know and who are near and dear to you. Don’t go on there to increase your knowledge about anything. You’ll end up believing lies. 1-7-25

16. McDonalds is reducing its diversity program. This follows the so called Supreme Court’s ruling against affirmative action. Jan 2025

17. The US House passed a bill to sanction international criminal court officials in response to the court issuing an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu. All you have to do is look at how he leveled Gaza with total disregard for civilians to know that he is guilty of war crimes. Just like Putin is guilty of war crimes for his disregard for the lives of civilians in Ukraine. We can speculate that the house passed this bill at the urging of Trump. It will be interesting to see if this gets through the senate and signed into law. Jan 2025

18. Instagram and Facebook have both stopped fact-checking in order to “restore free expression.” Therefore they are allowing people on these social media sites to lie all they want on any subject they want. Free expression is really freedom of speech in my understanding. Why they gave it a different name is probably related to liability issues they would face when that free expression resulted in people being hurt or killed. I think they will still be found guilty when a charge is brought against them in that realm. We have no place in our society for those who will lie to us. Another reason why I have urged you to stop using these social media sights except for communication with only your closest family and friends. Jan 2025

19. META is moving from California to Texas because the owner feels there is too much bias within his employees living in California. In my opinion, his fears are that they will require honest communication, not lies on the platforms. Jan 2025

20. Trump and Musk are stating lies on social media sites regarding the California fires. Their focus is on the Democratic governor and the Mayor of LA. Trump is sited for his claims that Governor Newsome wouldn’t back a Water Restoration Declaration that would have helped control the fires. MSNBC has clearly stated that no such declaration exists. You literally can’t believe anything said by Trump or Musk. Believe the people from the communities involved. Jan 2025

21. The so called Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito spoke with Trump just prior to making a decision on a Trump case. If Alito has a license to practice law, it should be terminated. We should have protesters outside his home for at least a week each time he does something unethical, as determined by a board of his peers.

22. Trump is sentenced today in a criminal case and is now a convicted felon. This is the first time in history that a convicted felon is going to be President of the US. You trusted a felon to lead our government; will you trust a felon to care for your child in day-care?

23. Speaker of the US House of Reps Mike Johnson fired the head of the House Intelligence Committee (Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio) from his chairmanship of that committee. Johnson claimed it was his decision and not Trumps, yet Turner advocated for Ukraine funding, voted to impeach Trump, and was anti-Putin. Who do you think fired Turner? Turner was able to work bi-partisan in his committee and did a great job there for our nation. You voters for Trump can congratulate yourselves for getting rid of another patriot. Jan 16, 2025

24. President Biden warns the nation that they have given too much power to Industrial Tech Executives and to be prepared for the dangers of an oligarchy gaining power under Trump’s presidency. Go back to looking up your information needs in encyclopedias, rather than Google (Google doesn’t deserve a capital G). Use social media only rarely; make most of your communications face to face. You will get hit with a lot of misinformation and outright lies during the next four years, and as long as the social media giants don’t fact-check what’s on their platforms. Don’t spend so much time in your home alone or with your electronic devices; get out into the public places, like parks, libraries, pools, etc. Humans are social animals and if you reduce socialization, you’re going against your DNA needs; psychological issues can develop due to reduced socialization. I had a client once who became delusional when she was unable to go to her weekly bingo games. We had to put her on medications and were later able to stop those meds when she got regular again in her bingo participation.

25. Lots of extremely rich folks donated a million dollars to Trumps inauguration: Jeff Bezos the founder of Amazon, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Threads Adam Mosseri, Apple CEO Tim Cook, etc. Do you think Trump really needed this money for his inauguration? These folks sent this money to send a message: we helped you, now you help us. They will make you pay more for the services you have been getting from their companies.

26. Mike Johnson survives as speaker of the house due to being close to Trump vs. keeping the house a separate part of government. Trump tells him what to do and therefore Trump controls the House of Representatives. Hopefully this will end in 2026 when Democrats re-take control of the house (if, of course, you vote Democrat).  Jan 17, 2025

27. Inauguration Day experiences: Trump declares a national emergency at the southern border. There isn’t an emergency down there that couldn’t be addressed by Trump signing the bi-partisan immigration bill. There isn’t a need to send our military down there; you can hire unskilled worker to lay down barbed wire and razor wire.

Trump claimed he was saved by God to make America great again. This is a grandiose idea coming out of the mind of a very sick person. He was saved because the shooter wasn’t a good shot.

28. Trump pardoned a vast majority of the people who participated in the Jan 6 insurrection. In the 1800’s they would have been hanged, including Trump himself, for treason. Trump made no distinction between criminals guilty of assaulting police officers and those who were trespassing.

29. Trump shuts down the migrant entry app which helps immigrants get in line for legal immigration.

30. Trump begins selling his new crypto currency. Don’t buy that stuff; this is currency that is in the computer systems and not something you can hold in your hand. Those who do will soon find out that Trump is the one getting ahead. And if I’m not mistaken, if you lose your password to get into your account, the money in that account will never get back to you. And somewhere down the road, they will establish a rule that accounts unattended for a certain period of time close out and the money is given to the managers of the crypto fund, to pay for fund costs, like their super big salaries. 

Musk gives a roman type salute at a gathering of Trump followers. Musk probably knew this would anger those who saw it as the hail Hitler salute. He enjoys causing chaos and division among our citizens as much as Trump and the cult members.

Lawrence O’Donnell Quoted General Ulysses Grant on Lawrence’s episode of The Last Word I heard on MSNBC one evening recently; perhaps 1-20-25:

“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon’s, but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.” [Grant used superstition vs conspiracy theories and ambition vs greed.]

Trump withdraws the United States from the World Health Organization. He doesn’t want our nation’s scientists working with other scientists around the world, to stop the spread of diseases, like Covid. Covid killed off how many republicans? So many of these people died because Trump said they didn’t have to ware a mask. Another round of disease may do the same again.

31.Trump withdraws the United States from the Paris Climate Accords. He is again disputing what scientists have proven about global warming causing increased catastrophic weather events: the fires in California, hurricanes in the south, flooding rains in North Carolina, blizzard in Louisiana, etc. Instead of an inch of rain, you can get eighteen inches of rain in a very short period of time; anywhere in America! Same thing with wild fires; a derecho (straight line winds of tornado intensity) like the one that hit Iowa, could whip up a fire like the Santa Anna Winds did in California and wipe out entire towns; anywhere in America!  The droughts produce increased fuels for fires.

I think the majority of police officers in America voted for Trump. Now Trump has pardoned people who literally killed police officers and left others with life long injuries. If you’re an officer who voted for Trump, you must have decided the rule of law doesn’t apply to you or the rest of the Trumpers. Time for you to get a different job or change your attitude!  1-21-25

32. In his first term as president, Trump separated immigrant children from their parents and this continued for years. Biden had a team set up to re-unite these separated children with their parents. Trump has stopped this team from continuing their work. The result is that there are many children who don’t know where their parents are and parents who don’t know where their children are. If you’re a parent who voted for Trump, you must have known this would happen; Trump was clear in his messages during his run for office.

Trump and his wife launch meme coin.  Don’t buy it! Down the road you’ll lose for sure.

Trump team asks FBI for names of everyone in the FBI who helped with the Jan 6th prosecutions. Senior FBI official refuse to comply. Trump is thus intimating that the rioters are the good guys and those who prosecuted them the bad guys.

Musk calls the USAID organization “a criminal agency that needs to die.” He doesn’t care that it saves babies who are starving, treats mothers for HIV so their newborns won’t come into life with the disease; or that it provides condoms to poor countries in hopes of warding off starvation, and many other great causes that we don’t have time for here. If you read up on what happened to women and children when they stopped funding for USAID, google it…newborns and mothers died, almost instantly.

Iowa governor signed a law eliminating Diversity, Equity & Inclusion staff and programs.

The Honors Program of the Department of Justice was terminated. These were the top of their class students studying law. Around 1-24-25 This is a sure sign of a dictator; they try to get rid of the intellectuals in their country and all who don’t support their agenda. When you voted for Trump, did you want our nation to be run by a dictator?

Trump cut off all aid to Ukraine and threatens sanctions on Russia. Do you want Russia to take over Ukraine? Without our weapons and support, this could happen. And then what country will Putin go after next? Soon he’s knocking at your door! 

Sanctuary Churches have beds in the basement for undocumented immigrants; just like the German people did in the 1930’s when they hid Jewish people. Now you got Trumpers telling ICE staff where the immigrants are hiding. We have no problem getting out the felons, but not those with no criminal behaviors.

Russell Vought who is now the head of the Office of Management and  Budget, said “we will cause them trauma” when talking about civil workers. Is this what you wanted….the social security worker who helps you on the phone, injured emotionally?  Or the postal worker who delivers you mail? Or the FBI agent you called when you were threatened by a Russian? 

The Department of Agriculture pulled its climate info from its website, as Trump doesn’t want to fight global warming.

The Federal Communications Commission chief opens an investigation into National Public Radio and Public Broadcasting System for their underwriting process. In addition, NPR & PBS can’t have office space at the Pentagon anymore. Trump’s team doesn’t want honest communication coming to you from anywhere! You will probably see them open up their own communication link beyond what they have with Fox news and call it “State TV” like you see in Russia and Middle East countries.

An organization called Indivisible is urging Democrats to shut down the government; act like Republican McConnell did when he was a minority leader. When the government shuts down, you will suffer! Don’t blame it on the Democrats, blame it on the Republicans who have given up their souls for money and position, rather than do what is best for you. They fear they or their family will be hurt if they don’t do what Trump says…what cowards!  Whole families were burned to death in their homes by the British in the revolutionary war; they fought on! What did he say? “Give me liberty or give me death”. You need to read up on the Revolutionary War and World War I and II, so you understand that we are looking at history repeating itself. Millions died in those wars because of dictators wanting to rule the world; let’s not let that happen again.

Nihilism: is when you crush the administrative state. It is any viewpoint that rejects generally accepted or fundamental aspects of human knowledge. Is this what you want from Trump and his team?

Pamela Jo Bondi is now the US Attorney General. She lied in her confirmation hearing and wouldn’t answer simple yes/no questions. She should have her law license terminated. Is this who you wanted to oversee our laws? Someone who shouldn’t practice law in the first place.

A multi-drug resistant TB germ is in Africa and was being fought by staff with USAID, who are no longer on the job. This germ will come to the US. Are you ready for it? Read more about “A Problem from Hell” by Samanth Power.

Justice Clarence Thomas went to the Oval House and yet he will have to litigate cases against them. He shouldn’t practice law, much less sit on the Supreme Court. Your Republican Senators are allowing this to happen.

Musk’s team has accessed records at the Treasury, Social Security, and many other places where they aren’t legally allowed due to data privacy rights you and I have. Even if it’s what they claim to be “read-only”, this doesn’t allow them access; we have to sign off ourselves for them to see our information! Consider getting an attorney to do a class action suit for all of us.

Why is Musk so evil? How can he do things that result in starving children dying? With all his money, he is stopping food from going to starving children. What kind of person acts like this? When you voted for Trump, did you imagine he would bring Musk in as his hatchet man? Children literally dying of starvation and your vote for Trump helped this happen….that’s pretty heavy! 

Charlie Sykes, a Newsletter Editor says “This is a constitutional crisis.” He is right and the Republican Legislators throughout the United States know this. Trump and his team are stepping all over the constitution and those Republican Legislators are sitting and watching. You voted for them and you can call them and urge they get off their ass and do something to stop it.

The way Trump’s team stopped unions: fire Gwynne Wilcox from the 70 year old National Labor Relations Board and that would leave the board with two members. That’s not a quorum, so no business can be conducted. Whatever the union vote is, doesn’t matter because it wasn’t certified by the Board.

Trump stops money going to South Africa, probably because Musk urged he do so (Musk is from South Africa). They both lie, so even if you asked them why, you couldn’t expect an honest answer.

The Consumer Protection Agency was shut down by Trump. They handled six million consumer complaints and returned billions to consumers. Who you going to call when some big business charges you fees that seem inappropriate?

Edwin is a Musk employee who was fired previously for sharing company information with a competitor. He’s now a senior advisor at the State Department. These are the people being hired by Trump and Musk. There is no vetting like we required in past administrations. If they did practice that kind of vetting, few of the staff would be acceptable. You asked for Trump, you get him and whoever he brings along with him. We all pay the price for that.

J.D. Vance, your Vice President, attacks judges saying they can’t control executive decisions and if they try they should be impeached. Any good dictator would say the same thing.

Musk has millions of dollars in government contracts, especially around his space flights and efforts to expand those to Mars. We have a space lab and that’s really all we need. We don’t need to send anything to the moon anymore and we don’t need to send anything else to Mars. We can’t even take care of our own world! The money being spent on space flights beyond the space station would feed and house a vast number of people here on earth. I’m sure Musk is bending Trump’s ear regarding rare earth minerals, as a lot of computer and rockets require such minerals. This is why we now have Trump trying to steer us toward Greenland, Canada and Ukraine; they have those minerals. We can get them by buying them, not expanding our borders or threatening our allies.  Is this the kind of business you want our country to engage in?

The Democrats have very little power right now to do anything except shut down the government. If you want to change the direction of our government, you have to talk to the Republican Legislators throughout the United States. They can stop this foolishness and illegal, unconstitutional behavior in a second!

The Democrats wanted to have a hearing and have Musk come to tell them what he’s doing and why, but the Republicans voted that down.

Paul Krugman, a Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science, is very knowledgeable in international trade. He said “Trumps behaviors are like sabotage to our system of trades.

Measles outbreak in Texas is because they are anti-vaccine. The vaccine schedule for children is complicated, so you need to speak with your doctor to determine your child’s schedule. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said “Measles is good for you”; there are 13 kids in the hospital in Texas with the measles; doesn’t sound good to the parents of those kids.

Louisiana filed an extradition request for a New York doctor who sent abortion pill to a Louisiana client. Governor Kathy Hochul of New York refused the request.

Republicans won’t allow a hearing on the USAID program because the country would hear talk about starving child who have died and a woman who died for lack of oxygen that was being supplied by USAID. HIV is now going to escalate due to lack of proper medical cares in third world countries that USAID provided. Women and children mostly, die from HIV without these treatments.

The Mayor of NY City, Eric Adams is facing trial for several corruption type charges. The Department of Justice is now asking it’s prosecutors to dismiss the case for unwarranted reasons. Career prosecutors have resigned rather than do what they consider is not in the interests of the law or the constitution. Eric Adams recently went to Mari logo and met with Trump, and is now saying he will cooperate with immigration demands upon NY City.

Trump tells federal agencies to fire all their probation staff. He doesn’t know how this will affect your life and down the road you will find out. Federal employees are young adults for the most part; they have excellent minds and great energy to help us citizens deal with serious issues. We need them in the work force, learning from the seasoned veterans, so they can replace those veterans when they retire.

Because Trump isn’t following the constitution, we are in a Constitutional Crisis. Who wins will determine if we’re a Democracy or an Oligarchy. Will we live by just laws or not? It’s up to your vote in coming elections.

Musk and DOGE have posted classified data on its new web site, regarding National Security Issues. Did you want foreign powers knowing the workings of our security programs?

Russia hits Chernobyl with a missile. They are sending a message to Ukraine and Europe, that they will fight this war even dirtier. If that plant is critically damaged, we will again have dangerous radiation flowing out of it and over the planet. It’s the same as hitting Ukraine with an atomic bomb. This would lead to an escalation of the war out into Europe.

Swelling of the brain can happen with flu cases, so if your child is lethargic, feverish and sleeping too much, get them to an ER. The CDC under Trump isn’t educating the public enough about this, the measles out-break and the growing aviary flu spread.

Denise Chung is a DOJ Prosecutor who refused to send an order to a bank to freeze assets provided by the Biden Administration to a contracted service provider. Trumps DOJ staff was trying to say that they believe a criminal act was done to get the grant approved. The 4th amendment to our constitution requires probable cause before search and seizure. She didn’t feel they showed that and was told to do it anyway. She resigned instead. 900 former federal prosecutors signed on a form that they backed her decision. We now have a Department of Justice (DOJ) that isn’t just.

There are 1400 hate groups in America, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. There is no place for hate in our country. These groups should be outlawed and the members monitored for contributing to hate crimes. If you want to learn more about it call 1-800-618-4850 or go on the SPLC web site: HelpFightHate.org

Trump and the MEGA base believe that those who have all the answers are wrong and government agencies should be torn down and rebuilt properly. Those we turn to for answers to difficult problems are the educated, the Generals, the Scientists, the Doctors, the Historians, etc. These are being fired by Trump and that is what dictators do when they take over a country. Dictators don’t want people around who are smarter than they are; they like to pull the wool over people eyes so they don’t see the truth. Dictators take out the dissenters by death or force them to leave the country.

The Indivisible group is organizing protests against Trump’s behaviors that are contrary to our democracy’s very existence. Get on their web site and see more about them.

Trump has shifted his presidency’s policies away from Ukraine and Europe allies, and over to Russia. He is trying to wheel and deal with Russia so he can get the minerals located in Ukraine. We need to support Ukraine with all the ammo we can round up, so they can win that war! They can pay us back in the future by selling their own minerals. America has never bullied countries like this! Do you really want Trump to proceed along these lines?

Russia is feeling very emboldened with Trump in the White House. They are employing sabotage tactics toward European nations that have supported Ukraine; behaviors like cutting communication cables, etc.

Janet Mills is the governor of Maine and recently she and Trump got into a public argument over transgender sports players. During this argument, which will end up in court; Trump said she will lose the legal fight, have federal funds stopped from going to her state and she will not win re-election. This is bully behavior and will adversely affect those who voted for him. You can bet that he and Musk will be sure to put plenty of money into the pocket of the person who runs against her. We’re now in a country where the rich buy elections; just like Trumps election was won with big aid from foreign and rich donors. Like I said before, vote Democrat!

Jamie Pritzker is the governor of Illinois. He commented that what we’re seeing is what happened in Germany in 1938-1939 when Hitler seized power. The people were dismayed with their economy and struggled to live. Hitler pointed out the Jewish people as the problem and that led to the holocaust.  Trump pointed out the government as the enemy and this is leading to what we’re seeing today…a total trashing of our form of government. You need to stop this by contacting your Republican Legislators or you will regret your apathy. Democracy requires courage to stand up for what is right and what is constitutional; nothing less.

If you have doubts about whom a dictator is, look at the New York Post cover showing Putin and the saying “This is a dictator”. And your Trump is wanting to work with him? Putin only works with those he can take advantage of.

Trump is keeping the Associated Press out of White House Briefings because they refuse to call the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America. They are taking him to court along freedom of speech lines. Trump’s behavior over such a petty issue, is not presidential; it’s bullying. When this happened, the rest of the press people should have left the briefing. Bullies have to be put in a proper place, not allowed to continue their behavior. Those who remain there are supporting his behavior.

Hunter Schafer is pretty famous, just not to me. She is transgender and was recently issued a passport that listed her as male, because that was her birth sex. She is not happy! There are so few transgender folks in our population; really no need to cause them grief. Get yourself educated about these people and how they came to struggle with their situation. Watch some documentaries that are shown on decent programming stations; not FOX.

CQ Brown is a black four-star General who was recently fired as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (2-21-25). He served forty years in the Air-Force. Folks are saying he was fired because he supported Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. That may well be, but I’m afraid it may go deeper than that. Where do you suppose the KKK went when they were disbanded?  I would venture a guess and suggest that many went into law enforcement, politics, boards of various sorts and the military. Would the KKK want Diversity? Would they want Equity? Would they want to include minorities beyond the “glass ceiling”? Racism is alive and well in America.

Musk is pouring money into the Wisconsin Supreme Court election so Judge Susan Crawford won’t win the seat. Musk and Trump want Brad Shimmel to be elected. He has the drug companies behind him. Again, we’re seeing the rich trying to swing elections; this is what an Oligarchy does. If you want a Democracy, you better vote for Susan!

Musk is steering Journals and other publications toward his “x” social platform. This is a step closer to the “State News” that dictator’s have in their countries. Stay off ‘X”, you really don’t need to be on it.

Stephanie Bice (R-Ok) says payments to immigrants are coming out of the Veterans Administration, so cuts are ok. These are probably contract staff who actually serve our veterans health care needs, as well as in other realms I could cite. Her statement is meant to support Trump’s slashing of the budget. She’s got to be kicked out of her position.

Scott Fitzgerald (R-WI) says there is fraud abuse discovered all over the government and that’s why the slashing. He also is making this statement to support Trump’s behaviors; he isn’t showing examples with people’s names and where or what the fraud example is. Just like the election nay-sayers who reported fraud in the voting. There isn’t enough fraud going on that requires the slashing going on right now. Agencies have to monitor their own fraud areas and eliminate any fraud they discover; that’s how this should be handled.

This is a quote from the email Kaesee Bourne, a biologist with the Fish and Wildlife Service received; because she is on probation status:

          “The Department has determined your knowledge, skills, and abilities

          do not meet the Department’s current needs.”

She was hired for just those three reasons!    

Bannon, at a CPAC gathering did the Nazi salute, thus normalizing Nazi behaviors. He should not be listened to.

Since Trump isn’t following the constitution, we are now in a constitutional crisis.

Musk’s DOGE posted classified data on it’s new website regarding national security issues. When the enemy can access your classified data, you have let the fox into the chicken coop!

Vice-President Vance makes a speech in Europe that insults them and lectures them about how to behave. Our government is now insulting our allies and being cozy with Putin. This is a major change in foreign relations and I’m not sure you wanted that when you voted for Trump. It’s what you’re getting! 

This is “isolationist” behavior that the United States tried to do when Germany attacked Poland in WWII and we did nothing. People were saying its ok for Japan to go into China at that time as well. Millions of lives were lost because of that “isolationist” behavior. We need to stay involved with the world and programs like USAID helps us do that. Staying with our allies versus Russia, China, North Korea and Iran is critical “world view” behavior that is necessary for our own security.

JFK Presidential Library was abruptly closed today due to a loss of federal employees. Another example of Trump/Musk getting rid of people we require to run our country properly. 

Dan Bongino is now Deputy FBI Director. He and the Director Patel are both election deniers. Neither are suitable for these positions given their delusions about the election of Biden. 

The first time in many decades: a UN Resolution condemning Russia for its war with Ukraine was not signed by the US. Chine, Russia and North Korea didn’t sign it either. Are you proud of this? Our country denying that Russia should be condemned for starting the war with Ukraine?

US Attorney for D.C. is now Ed Martin and he refers to himself as “Trump’s Lawyer”; this is contrary to the constitution and his Bar Association should take away his license to practice law. It is now common sense that the Department of Justice has no credibility under Trump. You can’t trust them to tell the truth or follow the constitution. Oversight functions in government agencies are being eliminated, so there is no one to say they’re being illegal or unconstitutional.

There is no pride when you say you work for the D.O.J.; not under Trump.

Citizenry and patriotism are necessary to limit abuse of power. The citizens must raise hell with their so called Republican legislators and demand they follow the constitution. You have to be in this for your country. The citizens of Germany in 1939 didn’t rise up against Hitler and his delusions about the Arian Race; most died as a result, fighting his wars and being bombed by the allies.

Budget cuts will affect rural and red districts worst. You didn’t think the cuts would affect you? Those who voted for Trump would be spared? Think again! Watch the news on MSNBC and you’ll get the facts on who is causing you grief.

Your so called Republican legislators are saying “we haven’t been briefed on it…some humanity and integrity is needed…Musk/Trump are going too fast…cuts need to be more thoughtful.”  And yet they have not exercised their role in this nation of having over-sight of the budget matters, including the hiring and firing of government employees. They still voted for the inept and delusional cabinet members. Don’t let them sweet talk you; demand they do their job and call for hearing on what is happening.

Musk was apparently raised by an evil father and was bullied in school. He apparently has indicated he has asperger’s syndrome, which is on the autism spectrum. These folks have difficulty communicating with people in the usual ways we communicate. Adding that stress of having difficulty communicating effectively with people and his abuse history, gives me a better understanding for his hostile behaviors when given control of people. Send him back to his private life; that would be better for his mental health and ours.

It appears that non-profits in America need to be scrutinized for how they spend contributions. I checked up as best I could on the internet regarding the “Helpnokidhungry.org” non-profit and if it’s true, the CEO makes $487,040 a year and the secretary makes $358, 427. Others within the organization also make more than you would expect. You don’t need to cut what little funding the taxpayer contributes to this organization, but you do need to demand they get more appropriate salaries!  I would be ashamed to take that kind of wage for being CEO of a non-profit organization. They say 40% of contributions go for organization expenses; cut it down to 10% or dissolve the organization! Let’s ask the CEO’s who they voted for and what they contributed to political party legislators. Let’s be transparent or dissolve the organization.

 JFK Presidential Library was abruptly closed today…was forced due to loss of federal employees.  Trump do this because JFK was a democrat?  Those Presidential Library’s are for the people, not just one political party.

Measles up-tick in Texas spreading and RFK Jr. not trying to stop it. Most getting it are anti-vaccine. Measles untreated can cause death.

Federal prosecutors are resigning from the Department of Justice because the new management is behaving illegally and unethically.

RFK Jr. says “Measles is good for you” This is just telling Texas there isn’t a need to get vaccinated.

Trump has now shifted away from supporting Ukraine and this is allowing Russia to make gains in their war. Is this what you wanted?

Illinois Governor Jamie Pritzker says [of Trumps behaviors]: “It’s 1939 stuff!”
Did you want our government following Hitler’s plan which takes control of the government and ends up killing millions of people around the world? 

Trump calls the head of Ukraine a dictator…breaking away from Ukraine even more. You know this isn’t a true statement Trump made. You know this kind of talk only makes Putin stronger throughout the world

Patel, who will be running the FBI, says that Jan 6th was caused by the FBI. Facts are clear; Trump caused the Jan 6th riot at the capitol. Look at who you will having running the FBI now…a delusional person.

Hunter Schafer had her passport changed to male because she’s transgender. Trump is attacking the LGBTQ community like Hitler attacked the Jews. Her comment: “F_ _ _ this administration”.

Top Generals in our Defense Department are being fired by the new Secretary of Defense, presumably because they contributed to Equality, Inclusion and Diversity within the military system. Putin had a party when he heard this!  Smells like the KKK is still alive, just wearing different attire.  

Musk is pouring money into the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, trying to buy the election for a Trump backer. Is buying an election the American way?  I know lots of people give money to those running for election; we just need to put a cap on it so it isn’t as outrageous as Musk’s amounts. I think we had a disclosure law about this and perhaps a limit on this, but Trump probably resided them. 

The Foreign Influence Task Force was shut down by Trump. This group monitored foreign behaviors to assure they weren’t meddling in our elections. Apparently Trump wants all the foreign help he can get.

Trump’s behaviors are closer to Isolationist policy’s of America just before we were pulled into WWII. Having a world view as partners in keeping the world healthy and safe is a better approach and usually prevents wars. 

Some DOGE employees of Musk’s resign in protest and say “We will not lend our expertise to carry out or legitimi DODGE’s actions.”  Even they are smart enough to know that the service they were doing as DODGE employees wasn’t good for America.

80 years of half decent world stability is now at risk. European nations are grouping to defend themselves and NATO members, as well as Ukraine; and are not counting on the United States to help anymore. Putin is having a party over this one.

A United Nations resolution on Ukraine which condemned Putin’s invasion was voted against by the United States, Russia, North Korea, Belarus and others. No wonder Europe is saying Trump is changing American allegiance from the free world to dictatorships. Is this what you voted for?

U.S. Attorney for D.C., Ed Martin refers to himself as president Trump’s attorney. This position is supposed to be non-partisan. Ed Martin asks Attorney Denise Chung to do an illegal behavior and she refuses; has to resign. Martin should have his license to practice law cancelled.

A White House team will determine the White House Press Pool. They expel the Associated Press. Questions during press briefings can’t be too challenging to the administration or there is fear you would get removed from the pool. This makes White House Briefings nothing more than photo opts; not worth listening to.

The Consumer Protection Bureau was closed down by Trump. 21 Billion was retrieved for consumers from fraudulent companies during the course of one year. Who’s going to help you get your money back from fraudulent companies now?

Maybe some understanding of Musk’s background will help us understand his vicious behaviors of the present and his total lack of compassion for even children starving:
1. When he was nine he lived with an evil father (his words) following a divorce.
2. He was bullied at school and at home.
3. He says he has asperger syndrome, which would explain his uncomfortable ness around people and difficulty communicating properly with people, and may even include episodes of poor judgment.

The Securities and Exchange Commission had him pay a 20 million dollar fine and required him to have lawyers screen his tweets. No wonder they closed down that commission when Trump got into office. 

Food and Drug Administration secretary Jim Jones resigns because cuts by Trump eliminate the ability to safeguard what America eats.

Texas child dies from measles because the child’s folks didn’t believe in giving the vaccine; probably following RFJ Jr.’s statement that vaccines are not necessary.

Because USAID staff and money cut, they can’t respond to Ebola outbreak in Africa. A doctor who is expert in Ebola treatment indicated that “they [Trump Administration]can’t fix the mess because they don’t want to.” The global health threat has greatly increased under Trump.

National Institute of Health has stopped funding research into new cancer treatments, so experimental drugs stop being given to patients already in trials to determine possible life saving treatments.

Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan were flew out of Romania at request of Trump and found safe harbor in Florida. The brothers are being charged with rape, human trafficking and violence against women.

The Republican Party has experienced moral collapse…gave away their conscience…sold their soul to the devil. Are you going to try and stay with them as they head into the abiss?

IRS is closing 1100 offices that were available to assist the public with their concerns.

1.4 million in Wisconsin are on Medicaid and this is due to be cut in the upcoming Republican budget. 

Grossly inappropriate communication between President Zelensky of Ukraine. Trump and J.D. Vance. Appears Zelensky was ambushed. Putin’s having another party! It was an obvious case of our country trying to bully Zelensky into a peace deal that isn’t good for Ukraine.  2-28-25

Ben Rhodes who does a pod cast called “Save the World”, says “America is no longer part of the free world.”

Trump has spread the message well…he’s with Putin and against Zelensky. Could this be because Zelensky wouldn’t dig up lies on the Bidens when Trump was running for president? Of course it is! The president you voted for is in the process of getting revenge against everyone who he felt was against him.

The message now out to the world is that there are no rules…time to grab land wherever you can, like Russia; and like Trump wanting Panama, Canada and Greenland. There will be wars with this attitude. God forbid your vote for Trump resulted in us being at war again…war is hell for everyone!

And what does Rubio say “Praise Trump”
And what does Graham say “Zelensky was disrespectful to Trump; Zelensky should go.”
Two weeks ago Graham applauded Zelensky!  What the hell?

The New Yorker said the office scene at the white house was “a mugging…a disgrace”.

Remember what Stalin said: “show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.”

Be careful with Trump for he lies about what’s wrong with situations. 

Mike Kennedy, a Republican from Alaska, denied Russia started the war with Ukraine
What planet is he living on?

When Trump was asked about his phone calls to Putin, he said: “I don’t’ want to say anything about that.”  It is my belief that Putin has video tapes of Trump when Trump was in Russia and is holding that over Trump’s head. Trump doesn’t want the public to see those videos and is willing to trash our democracy to avoid it. It’s an old trick, having someone get drunk and then offer them a situation that their poor judgment can’t resist.

Security checks are no longer necessary to get hired in Trump administration. How does this make you feel about our countries secrets? If I were a foreign country I would not share sensitive information with America.

Trump stopped supporting Ukraine energy power grid this week. Putin is having another party!

Sec of Defense Hegseth said “unrealistic for Russia to leave Ukraine without keeping some land.” So, start a war, take some land and then stop the war. In a few years, start a war, take some land and then stop the war. Eventually you’ll get what you want. We need to say no to Russia keeping any of Ukraine.

Most all of the changes your seeing in our government aren’t good for Americans and are good for Putin.
This is Trump paying off his boss. These changes are clearly what someone would do if they were being framed.

Senator Cory Booker said “When good men do nothing, that is the ingredient that is necessary for evil to be triumphant.” He’s referring to the Republicans who aren’t stopping Trump’s abuse of power.

Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuanian are countries Russia wants to take back. Other nations surrounding Russia are in the United Nations and therefore protect each other from Russia.

USAID is still not getting what they need to save lives and stop diseases from spreading from Africa to the rest of the world. Deaths will be on a massive scale! These are experts talking, so time will prove them correct…I’d bet on it. 

Canada has ripped up its Starlink contract which is connected to Musk. My new subaru has starlink as part of the software you can purchase...I won't be doing that.

Businesses didn’t think Trump would go this far with tariffs; now they will pay the price for supporting his presidency.

Trump suspends all aid to Ukraine, giving the Russians a chance to build up a powerful attack on that country. Tom Tillis, Republican from NC backs aid to Ukraine.

Vendors for USAID were unpaid when Trump froze funding to USAID. It went to the Supreme Court and four of the nine judges said the vendors didn’t have to be paid. Those judges were Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. The other five judges agreed that the vendors needed to be paid ASAP. It should have been 9-0 and unfortunately we have four judges who are so tied to Trump they can't use good common sense.

Trump says HIV treatments via USAID are being done when that’s not true.

30% of the federal workers fired are veterans. Is this how you wanted these veterans treated? Sure, trash the federal government because you don't know what services they provide....real dumb stance.

The corruption with Trump has reached a new high, with him selling audiences with him at Mara Logo for 5 million each. What do they get in return?

A French senator, Claude Malhuret, says “Trump is a traitor backing a dictator”. He went on:
”Trump’s message is that there is no point in being his ally since he will not defend you, he will impose higher tariffs on you than on his enemies and will threaten to seize your territories while supporting the dictatorships that invade you.” 

The Bush Center released a statement saying Trump is wrong and Ukraine is right.

Trump wasted billions of gallons of California water due to his order to let the water flow from two reservoirs up north in California, even though the water couldn’t get to LA where it was needed. Officials did as he asked and took a picture for him of the water release. An example of people doing what a psychotic person wants. They should have said no given the obvious waste caused.

A scientist was one of the federal workers fired. He was working to prevent pests from destroying our crops. Hope your not a farmer.

The Department of Human Services spent $30,000 on an ad in Florida thanking Trump for his work. And DOGE is trying to find ways to reduce government spending? 

In an effort to eliminate anything with the word gay, the Department of Defense ended up removing a write-up and picture of the Enola Gay which dropped an atomic bomb on Japan, as well as a soldier whose last name was Gay. This is an example of Trump and his staff trying to re-write history and expunge what they don’t like. The Germans did this in 1938/39.
 
If Russia continues the war with Ukraine, NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) members would join military forces with Ukraine, just as North Korea has lent its forces to Russia in the fight against Ukraine. Look for this option coming into the picture. It would be better for the United States to fight with Ukraine to kick the Russians out of Ukraine. These messes can lead to wars that will take your relatives into the fight.

What does Musk say to Poland?  “Be quiet small man”  Is this how you want our Trump Administration talking to foreign governments? His entire cabinet speaks with disrespect and lies/or refuses to answer a yes/no question..

Trump is escalating his attacks on the free press, wanting to stop the press in America from saying disparaging comments about him and his administration. This is an attack on free speech in America; no one wants people in this country unable to voice their opinion on anything. Are you in favor of gagging people from speaking their opinion, even if it’s against what you believe? They’ve listened to what you had to say and didn’t try to gag you.

A Department of Justice attorney was fired for not backing Mel Gibson getting his right to have a gun again. His conviction for domestic abuse (threatened his wife with a gun while she held their baby; also gave her a black eye) had prevented this. Look for the DOJ to reinstate his rights to carry a gun. His former spouse/s better arm themselves. Restoring gun rights to those charged with domestic abuse was a major goal of the Trump Administration. Did you realize this?

RFK Jr blames poor diet for up tick of measles. Doctors say get the vaccine.

The speaker of the house actually passed a rule in the house that this legislative session would be just one day long for the rest of the year; as a way of avoiding a vote on the tariffs. This is abuse of power.
These kind of games show how unworthy he is to hold office in our country! He’s your speaker, not mine. Now we all pay for the price for tariffs.

Lawsuits brought against Trump’s presidential orders, are winning almost 100% of the time because he is being so illegal. The Supreme Court decision about his powers emboldened him to act this way.

34 military chiefs of Europe met regarding the Ukraine situation; without the United States involved.  Your Department of Defense….not mine….isn’t welcome anymore in those discussions. Your Department of Defense doesn’t know how to keep top secret data away from the enemy (Russia, China, Iran, etc). Trump and the Mara Logo fiasco solidified Europe’s belief that Trump and his staff can’t be trusted. Anything they say to Trump may end up being told to Putin, etc.

An 85 mile stretch in Louisiana called “cancer ally” was being sued by Biden due to releasing too much toxic chemicals that knowingly cause cancer. Much like the bad air my son experienced in the Gulf War to free Kuwait. He died from cancer and that community is dying from cancers. Trump’s Department of Justice is dropping that case due to DEI…so they say. Diversity, Equity & Inclusion…that’s their basis!  Probably because most all the people dying are black; whose homes were there before the plants were built. Trump’s team is saying to Denka Corporation (part of DuPont) which produces neoprene (a synthetic rubber): “keep up the good work”. I think further court action will follow. And until a better decision is made by the courts, people there will continue to die from cancer. Watch out for the plants coming to your neighborhood!

Trump spent 16 million housing 41 immigrants at Guantanamo Bay and has now returned them to the United States. 1,000 government employees are still there, doing nothing. Saving your tax dollars…huh?

Trump’s illegal behaviors go against free speech, freedom of the press, your right to petition the government, due process and the separation of powers….all part of our constitution; all part of what makes America a stand out among nations of the world.

Trump tried to pull us out of Radio Free Europe and failed. Putin appreciated his effort.

Chief Justice Roberts rebuked Trump for calling for the impeachment of judges who sited rulings against him.

We have been in a constitutional crisis since Trump did his first illegal act on Jan 20, 2025 by signing a bunch of presidential orders that were unconstitutional. This behavior is grounds for impeachment and the Republican Legislators better get it going or we’re looking at the end of democracy and the start of a dictator. You will be worse off with a dictator I can assure you.

Trump is attacking the institutions of higher learning, trying to tell them how they should operate within his DEI rules. He’s threatening them by saying he will withhold federal funds going to research and other university programs. He’s willing to stop research that will save lives, just to bow to his will. Did you expect this behavior? Have a relative interested in doing research?

Russia is expanding it’s sabotage efforts in Europe: doing assignation attempts, putting bombs on transport planes headed to the United States, starting fires at shopping centers, cutting cables above and under water, and tampering with water wells. Trump has suspended efforts to counter Russian sabotage.  Why?  Probably because Putin demanded it.

If you didn’t read the booklet 2025, you should read it. It spelled out what Trump and his people were going to do when he got elected. He’s following that process. A friend of mine is a Trumper and he didn't read 2025, just voted blindly for Trump; reminds me of the ostrich burying it's head in the sand. Maybe thinking "If I don't read it, I'm not responsible for what's in it?" Oh, your responsible, whether you read it or not.

Mikhail Zygar: “Putin won’t end the war, he can’t afford to.”

Two Federal Trade Commissioners were fired by Trump because he had the right. One of them was pursuing legal action against three billionaires.

The recent attack on the non-profit US Institute of Peace was like a Hitler Gestapo raid on Jewish businesses in 1938/39.

Trump releases 400 social security numbers when he released the JFK assassination files.

He and his staff don’t even review forms before they send them out; total disregard for data privacy rights.

I sent an email to Brad Finseth; urged he make a public statement regarding the closing of the Department of Education. He hasn’t done so.  60% of Americans oppose closing it.

The Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick indicated a way to check for fraud at Social Security was to stop all checks going out. He thinks those that would call in, would be the fraudsters. Talk about simple and illogical reasoning. This is your secretary, not mine.

I sent an email to Brad Finseth indicating that just the fear of losing the social security check can cause anxiety attacks, high blood pressure and depression. Just talking about the possibility can do this!  They need to leave social security alone!

Jim Banks, a Republican senator from Indiana was asked by a fired federal worker why he was fired illegally; Banks said, “you probably deserved it.” The fired worker then asked “Why did I deserve it?” and Banks said, “because you seem like a clown”. Time to vote Banks out of office!

Canadians are booing when the United States anthem is played at sporting events. I can’t blame them; your president and his cronies’ stabbed Canada in the back with tariffs and insulting language, including suggesting Canada become our 51st state. Time to stop playing it at sports events up there....better that then having our anthem diminished.


Trump fired the doctor who saved his life during the covid crisis.

Sudan crisis: starting in Feb the food kitchens run by USAID were closed. Currently a famine in that country caused by the civil war. People are literally dying because our donated food is not getting to them!  How do you feel about your vote for Trump?

You have Laura Loomer, an extreme right conspiracy theorist going in to to meet privately with Trump and later he’s making decisions based upon her advice. She even indicated that he fired specific people at the pentagon because she urged him to do so. A delusional person helping a delusional person make decisions…boy, did your vote get that all wrong!

900 auto workers layed off due to a pause in production caused by the tariffs.

 I sent an email to Brad Finseth urging he stop Trump’s behaviors that are hurting Americans.

April 4, 2025 Federal judge orders Trump administration to bring back a Maryland man who was mistakenly whisked out of the United States and placed in a illegal prison in El Salvador.

Writers are saying “80 years of friendship between Canada and the United States is over”.
All because of who you voted into the oval office!

Lithuania does major honor ceremony for four US soldiers who died there. Trump won’t honor them by receiving them when they arrive back in the United States…he’s busy golfing in Florida. Some Commander in Chief you have there!

Markets plunge across the globe as tariffs impact consumers everywhere.

April 7, 2025 Trump administration is refusing to bring back the Maryland man who was mistakenly placed in an El Salvador prison. He's basically in contempt of court, and yet the Supreme Court is not holding him accountable. Have they given up their responsibility to our constitution? Sure sounds like it.

 Trump is using the Department of Justice to seek revenge against those who opposed him publicly or in court. It’s not his DOJ…it’s ours…for the people…not for the president.

Sent emails to Amy K, Tina S and Brad F indicating that “Trumpers” are sending pizzas to judges and their family members, indicating that they know where the judge and their family live. Some are sent with the name of the deceased federal judge’s son, indicating a death threat. He was killed by a gunman hoping to kill the female judge. I urged the senators to get the state attorney generals involved, to arrest these idiots and show their faces to the rest of the country, along with stiff prison sentences. Unfortunately, I don’t trust the DOJ to help with this effort. Jewish businesses were destroyed in 1938/39 and the legal process in Germany did nothing to stop this behavior.

Harvard was attacked by Trump and his administration; threatening to withhold government funds for various programs unless they did what Trump wanted. Thankfully Harvard didn’t cave in to this bully!  Looks like Columbia and Georgia did.  You can’t let anyone intimidate you or you are not a free person.
Don't go to college at Columbia or Georgia, your education will be tainted with miss-information.
 
April 15, 2025 Trump refuses court order to allow Associated Press to attend White House news staffings.  He continues his anti-constitutional ways. He’s out of control.

Let me conclude by saying that the so called Republicans are for the rich and are following the recommendations in the 2025 report. Be sure you read that report.

The Democrats have always been for the poor and the working class. The only thing you need to remember come time to vote, is whether you earn less than $400,000 a year or more. If you make more, you'll probably want to vote for the so called Republicans. If you make less, you should vote for the Democrats. It's just that simple...no need to fret about who to vote for; it should be straight Republican all the way or straight Democrat all the way. I hope God appreciates who you voted for.

PS:  You may feel guilty from reading all upcoming negative happenings; feel guilty for voting for Trump. The way to take this guilt off your shoulders is to vote Democrat in every election; no need to hit yourself side the head.
