Oh Say Can You Not See

Donald J. Trump is a wannabe dictator. The first thing that dictators do is to destroy the educational system of the Country that they govern.

Since most dictators, like Trump himself, are only semi-literate, they require an illiterate public over whom they can wield their ill-gotten power.

The United States educational system has been ranked as 6th in Reading, 12th in Science, and 28th in Math by the OECD.

It is clear that only an uneducated public could have voted for Donald Trump.

Probably the only book he’s ever read in his life is Mein Kampf and his only aspiration in life is to be a total dictator.

His indiscriminate withholding of funds in order to cause fear and intimidation across Universities nationwide is evidence of his dictatorial plan to control the minds of Americans for the greater glory of Donald J. Trump himself.

He has clearly committed conspiracy against the United States and has subsequently forgiven all of his co-conspirators.

It is perfectly clear that it is Trump’s aim to reduce the level of education in America and bolster the illiterate portion of the population who supported him to begin with.

Only We the People of America can save our Country by urging our congressional representatives to unite, whether Democrat or Republican, in an effort to stop this maniac from totally destroying our Nation.

In other words, it doesn’t matter what party you belong to, this man is a despot.

Echoes of the Past

Anyone who lived through the second World War will recognize the ear marks of a rising dictator. WWII was fought to contain Hitler. He had destroyed the German democracy and the Weimar constitution by forcibly asserting himself as its chancellor. He then went on to conquer the rest of Europe, and was in the process of taking over England and the United States of America.

It is the misfortune of America and the result of an uneducated public that we’ve, again, elected Donald J. Trump as President of the United States. And his true motives become clear by looking at his most recent lawless evacuation of a large group of American residents – residents whom Trump declared to be “enemy combatants” and shipped off to a “concentration camp” in El Salvador. Sound familiar?

Obviously, none of us want to house enemies within our midst. However, it is not within the province of the president or any other official of the executive branch to remove these people, or anyone, without due process. This is what makes America, America. “If members of the executive branch are allowed to issue truth claims that have the consequence that human beings [forcibly] leave the United States, we are in a dictatorship. If we accept that the executive branch can simply deport anyone they call a ‘foreign alien terrorist,’ then none of us has any rights.”

Trump has become judge and jury. It is Trump who has alienated NATO and Canada (our closest neighbor). It is Trump who befriends Putin, the enemy of the people. America beware. Trump is on a mission to define,” …what is true and what is false and who is human and who is not.”

Plainly speaking, President Trump is sewing the seeds for a dictatorial regime that will destroy the America that we’ve known.

The Footprints in the Sands of Time

Elon Musk, who was not born on American soil was afforded American citizenship.

He is now taking advantage of the very system that allowed him to become the wealthiest man in the world.

He has 14 children born by spreading his tainted sperm from one woman to another.

It may be a demonstration of his sexual potency but certainly not of his parental ability.

It is easy to spawn children, but it is not easy to parent.

Elon Musk is an example of a man who is not able to keep his zipper closed.

A perfect example of irresponsibility.

This man who is South African by birth and was granted citizenship in the United States is in the process of helping his cohort, the President of the United States, to destroy the very Nation that made his success possible and is depriving others in this Nation of that same opportunity.

His irresponsible behavior in life has certainly not given him the knowledge or insight to be the unelected “co-president” of the United States.

He must be deposed.

God Shed His Grace on Thee

The great era of America the Beautiful is over.

In the short 49 days that Trump has been President he has managed to alienate every ally in the world except Putin.

Trump is Putin’s “thing”.

He is Putin’s puppet and the price is being paid by the loss of America.

One of Trump’s professors at Wharton was once quoted saying that he had never had a dumber student. Well, it is clear that America has never had a dumber President.

In the 49 days that Trump has been President his abysmal ignorance has already isolated America.

He has destroyed America’s relationship with its closest neighbors and oldest allies- both Mexico and Canada.

He has helped Putin to destroy the Ukraine.

NATO has taken steps to unite itself and distance from America.

He has destroyed the Agency for International Development (USAID).

He is continuing to gut government services that are important to Americans’ health, safety, and economic security.

And it has only been 49 days.

Before the advent of Trump, America was admired by the world for its progressive views and financial prosperity as well as its impressive social programs.

Today, after only 49 days, the world has turned its back on America.

America, thanks to Donald Trump and his henchman Elon Musk, now stands alone, with no allies and no friends to support it.

This man, Donald Trump, out of ignorance and egotism, has destroyed the fabric of America.

Americans. Impeach him.

Take Back Our Land!

It is becoming increasingly clear that Donald Trump and his vice president, JD Vance, should be impeached immediately before they have the time and opportunity to completely destroy America and turn it over to Putin.

If the events of Friday’s meeting in the oval office between Trump, Vance, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky taught us anything, it’s that Trump is Putin’s thing. He is owned by Putin. His only desire is to turn Ukraine and then America over to Putin and Russian domination.

Remember that when Trump tried to borrow money in the late ’90’s, no one would help him. Ultimately, it was only the Deutsche bank that lent him money. This bank was totally funded by Putin. Trump is not interested in doing anything to benefit the US. His disgusting behavior toward Zelenskyy made it clear and obvious that he is only interested in benefitting Putin.

This man must not be president of the United States of America for one day longer. He will destroy this country. He will abandon NATO completely. He will cause a world war, and America will be completely isolated with no allies. 

It is up to the people of this country to pressure every elected official—from mayors to governors to the senators and congresspeople—to impeach Donald Trump. Force him to face the 37 indictments against him, and let him spend the rest of his life fighting his way out of a jail sentence.

It is sad and disgusting that the United States of America should be represented by a person who is a traitor to his country and whose only interest is in himself. He is the enemy of the people. He must be deposed.

People of America: hit the streets! Demand his impeachment, as well as that of his henchman, JD Vance. And Elon Musk? Keep him as far away from government as possible! 

The King and his Henchman

Elon Musk, an immigrant from South Africa, moved to Canada in 1988 at 17 with his mother to pursue higher education, in addition to avoiding mandatory service in the South African military. Then, in 1995, he moved to California to attend Stanford University, where he was able to develop his skills and co-found the software company Zip2 (which is known for providing and licensing online city guide software to newspapers). Then going on to sell that for $307 million (of which his share was $22 million) in 1999. That same year, along with Ed Ho, Harris Fricker, and Christopher Payne, he founded the online banking service X.com, which later was renamed PayPal. Then in 2002, the company was acquired by eBay, and Musk walked away with $175 million, the very same year he legally became a citizen of the United States. This primed him to be an early investor in Tesla and set him on the course to take over the company as chairman and CEO in 2008. 

Nobody would deny him these achievements. They very much showcase his strategy and smarts in the business world. This however does not qualify him in any possible way to be an unelected co-president of the United States of America. It does not give him the right to treat the Oval Office as his private playground for his child. It surely does not give him the right to have access in any manor, shape, or form to the private information of private citizens of the United States. He is a man who has never been elected to public office and, in truth, should never be elected to public office. His only interest is to serve his own financial and egotistical goals.

If the congress and the senate of the United States do not step up to take control over both the president and his henchman, Elon Musk, this country will be destroyed by them. This country, this nation, this democracy, NATO, the EU, and everything that has contributed to the safety of Europe and America since WWII. These men are dangerous and destructive. The Congress and the Senate must step up to protect the citizens of this country. That is their job: to represent the citizens of this country and to exercise the limit of power that either a president or his henchmen may have. They have not been elected to “kiss the ring” of any un-appointed leader or an appointed one who would dare call himself “King.”

Pigs Roam White House

This is the way Europeans are viewing America today…

A letter from a European friend:

“It is with horror that I follow the recent developments in the United States. Our newspapers are full of Trump and Musk stories, one more outrageous than the other.

Their words and statements, like ballistic missiles, seem to hit and destroy one agency, effort, country, organism after the other, all around the world. It is pure terror on a global scale.

I saw two very short videos of one of Musk’s sons, his name is X… That boy, at only 5 years old or something, seems even worse than the two of them, and is allowed to walk around the Oval Office.
Everything is going so fast…

I think of you Americans a lot. I wonder how you must be feeling, having this tyrant as a president. I mean, can it be? America! We were looking at you with awe for so many years. Now I am scared for you as I am for the rest of the world.”

How Long can the Fabric of A Democracy Resist Dictatorship?

P.S., These are the signs of dictatorship. Only four weeks into the Trump administration, and these are already the agencies that are being shut down without proper investigation or evaluation by the Congress or the Senate as to their efficacy, purportedly in order to “save money”. Trump and Musk, his co-president, have taken the law, the Government, and individual rights into their own private hands.

– Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services
– Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
– Department of Defense
– Department of Education
– Federal Aviation Administration
– Federal Emergency Management Agency
– Internal Revenue Service
– National Institutes of Health
– National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
– Treasury Department
– U.S. Agency for International Development

This is how Trump intends to find the money to reduce taxes for the wealthiest members of the Nation.

He continues to destroy our democracy one day at a time.

American citizens, force your congressional representatives to take action.

Save our democracy. Save our Nation.

Personal American’s Rights Wronged

What in God’s name gives Elon Musk and Donald Trump the right to destroy agencies that have functioned for the benefit of humanity for many years and to fire people who have effectively run the government.

None of Musk’s various “accolades” qualify him to take over the government of the United States or the right to the personal information of American citizens and Donald Trump is actually quoted as being one professors’ “dumbest goddamn student [he] ever had” (Frank DiPrima).

It would be perfectly acceptable to investigate the efficacy of various programs, but that is not the same thing as totally destroying agencies such as USAID.

USAID, created by President John F. Kennedy, “demonstrates America’s good will around the world; increases global stability by addressing the root causes of violence; opens new markets and generates opportunity for trade; creates innovative solutions for once unsolvable development challenges; saves lives; and advances democracy, governance, and peace.”

These two, whose basic wealth was given to them by their parents, do not seem to understand the vast impact such programs have on people who are in need and often the victims of natural disasters, of climate change, of violence.

It seems that Trump’s warped brain only knows how to seek revenge rather than find compassion. He only aims to search and destroy.

Democracy Diminished

The people of this country had better become aware of the fact that this president, Donald Trump, and his cohort, Elon Musk, the wealthiest man in the world, are taking over the reigns of government. They are defying the constitution of the United States of America and totally ignoring the co-equal separation of power between the executive and legislative branch. The legislative branch of government is the congress and senate, and it is they who decide how our nation’s money is distributed, whether it be for disaster relief in California or funding our nation’s Head Start programs. 

Trump’s imminent disregard and shuttering of existing programs is depriving children of food, elderly people of healthcare, endangering Social Security, and leaving government workers, who have devoted their lives for the benefit of all people of the United States, without work. It is as clear as the light of day that this administration is an AUTOCRACY!!! The so called president of this country has no regard for the survival of the people of the United States of America. 

Trump and his cronies’ only interest is to benefit themselves and those wealthy members of our nation who, blindly, support them. This is an administration of crooks and criminals, and it is the right and obligation of the court system of this country to duly prosecute them. 

As William R. Bay, the president of the American Bar Association, points out in a statement regarding the current administration’s withholding of federal funding, “[R]efusing to spend money appropriated by Congress under the euphemism of a pause is a violation of the rule of law and suggests that the executive branch can overrule the other two co-equal branches of government…This is contrary to the constitutional framework and not the way our democracy works. The money appropriated by Congress must be spent in accordance with what Congress has [indicated]. It cannot be changed or paused because a newly elected administration desires it. Our elected representatives know this. The lawyers of this country know this. It must [be stopped.]”
