Dog Whistles


“Late Term Abortion”

The Washington Post points out there is no precise medical or legal definition of “late-term,” and “many doctors and scientists avoid that language, calling it imprecise and misleading.”

The Daily Beast also notes that only 1.3 percent of abortions are performed after 21 weeks of gestation, and the idea that a woman can get an abortion moments before giving birth is “not how medical care works.”

The use of “dog whistles” aka “coded” labels has been common for many years but until recently has been out of the mainstream of conversation. The current administration aided by a neer do well Congress has brought these “coded” statements and words to common use. Along with this common usage the administration has trashed agreements put in place to prevent war and improve trade. Tariffs (taxes) put in place to offset the “tax” policy that was supposed to benefit everyday Americans and threats to bad actors who were in a state of containment with the approval of our now alienated allies. The administration has in a few years undermined our economy, foreign affairs and put us on an isolation footing all because of “dog whistles”.

Are You Tired Of Bending Over?


First, I would like to state that we should focus on the individual running for office rather than the associated party. Adhering to the party line is like being a herd animal following the crowd. Each person has the capability to reason and understand the spoken word in hearing or reading. There is no party that can deliver the promises made without Congress and Congress consists of long serving members who range from intelligent to moderately competent. Many members are in for the retirement program by doing just enough to get by some look for glory by pursuing unsubstantiated facts (especially against the opposite party) and pointless hearings (or as I see it “Brow beating sessions” on our dime!). The current administration is so hamstrung by the “Grifter in Chief” that nothing of note is being accomplished other that his ill-fated “executive orders”. In “normal” times, it is hard to govern a country with so many varied people with a multiplex of views on what should happen in the country.

The concept of how the actions of one affect another has been covered over by a blanket of bigotry and ignorance, the reality is that no matter the Religious preference, the nationality of the “melting pot” residents WE are all Americans chasing the American dream, not a reason to denigrate or “other” fellow countrymen and women. At this time we are in the grips of a Master Grifter and his minions who are all out make a buck on the backs of 99% of Americans who are just looking for a decent life for themselves and their children. The last 10 years have brought us plagues (covid, measles), fires and flooding across the nation yet the main powers are literally ignoring the needs of the country while waging an illegal war using our money. at least 6 of these past 10 years have been under the thumb of Trumpelstilskin and the worst cabinet members he can scrape up. If one spends a few minutes and remembers the time when no matter what we had competent members of government who had the wherewithal to consider the results of their actions on the voters. Currently Trumpel has us in a undeclared war with no defined end or result other than destroying a country because his perception was ” they would be easy to defeat”. Coerced by “BIBI: who wants to continue warfare in order to distract from his troubles with his own government, the USA is now isolated from our international allies who were not advised or consulted about the attack (as the proper protocol would dictate). Now there is an icy uneasiness with our European partners along with the expense of an unnecessary “war” which takes funding from programs sorely needed by the American voters. Midterms are coming!

Black farmers shut out of Trump White House farmers’ event: ‘Why can’t we be at the table?’

As President Trump hails his administration’s efforts to support farmers amid rising costs, Black farmers facing foreclosure continue to get the cold shoulder.

President Donald Trump welcomed hundreds of farmers to the White House on Friday, in what the administration touted as a celebration of agriculture and American farm producers. On the South Lawn, decorated with a massive, obviously Trump-inspired gold tractor, the president hailed the event as the “single largest gathering of American farmers that the White House has ever seen.”

Noticeably missing from the crowd of farmers at the White House were the nation’s Black farmers, who have been repeatedly shut out of meetings and dialogue with the Trump administration, which has simultaneously eliminated several programs intended to address decades-long disparities impacting marginalized farmers at a time when many are facing foreclosures amid continued high costs in farm production, mortgages, and property taxes.

“I certainly asked to be a part of it,” says John Boyd, founder and president of the National Black Farmers Association, which represents tens of thousands of Black farmers.

The longtime activist and farmer, who has repeatedly tried to advocate on behalf of Black farmers with the Department of Agriculture and the White House, tells TheGrio he has heard “nothing from this administration.”

“For them not to invite us, they’re really saying, ‘We don’t want you to be a part of this administration at all,’” says Boyd, who told TheGrio that a White House official had previously told him that the administration was “doing away” with farmers of color and DEI. The official told Boyd that farmers being prioritized “happen to be white,” emphasizing, “This is not about race.”

Upon learning about the farmers’ event, Boyd reached out to a Trump official at the White House Office of Public Liaison; however, Boyd’s inquiry to join the event went unanswered. A spokesperson for the White House did not immediately respond to TheGrio’s request for comment.

President Trump praised what he described as his administration’s many accomplishments on behalf of farmers, even as input prices for land, machinery, seeds, pesticides, and fertilizers have risen. The president’s war is also driving up fuel costs, which are impacting farmers. Trump pointed to last year’s $12 billion aid announcement to farmers amid the financial firestorm created by his global tariffs, and the elimination of federal estate taxes, even though USDA’s own data shows that only about 0.3% of farm estates are subject to federal estate tax. Trump also announced that the Small Business Administration will issue a new loan program for farmers.

“My first year back in the White House, farm income has soared by 20%,” Trump falsely stated (USDA forecasts income in 2026 will decline). “The American farmers, ranchers, growers and producers, once again have a true friend and champion in the Oval Office.”

Despite the president’s remarks, Boyd says the Trump administration and its anti-DEI policies have been less than friendly to Black farmers. Cultural and systemic barriers largely shut out Black farmers from much of the USDA resources, in addition to the termination of grants and debt relief that was intended to help dig them out of financial ruin.

Boyd tells TheGrio he has turned to the Congressional Black Caucus for help; as many as 190 of his members are facing foreclosures on their farms.

“The White House don’t want us, but these congressional districts have companies in them that represent some of these [agriculture] companies. Let’s bring them to the table and see what they can do to help us with these farmers,” he says.

As for being shut out of Friday’s White House convening of American farmers, Boyd said of President Trump, “[He] says that he’s not racist, but this shows racist tendencies right in your face.”

Where are the White Farmers in the Farming Brotherhood?

Jesse Ventura on Donald Trump assassination attempt: ‘Ever hear of a blade job?’

Published: Mar. 26, 2026, 5:00 a.m.

Professional wrestling legend and former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura appeared on Piers Morgan this week and went after Donald Trump again.That’s not uncommon for Ventura, but one of the bits from the interview making headlines is an accusation that he made about the assassination attempt on Trump’s life that took place in Butler, Pennsylvania during the 2024 Presidential Election.

While the two were discussing Trump, Morgan said, “To be fair to Trump, when he got shot, he got back up and said, ‘Fight, fight, fight!’”

“Oh yeah, right, right, right,” Ventura replied. “You ever hear of a blade job?”

A “blade job” is a term used in professional wrestling for when the performers actually cut themselves out of view of the audience so that they bleed during the match.
“You think it was fake?” Morgan replied.

“I don’t know,” Ventura replied. “Where’s his scar today?”

Morgan then referenced Pennsylvania native Corey Comperatore who was in the crowd that day and was killed during the assassination attempt.

“Somebody died literally sitting behind him,” Morgan replied.

“I don’t know,” Ventura said. “You know, come on Piers. You’re gonna tell me this guy is a big hero now? That’s what you are going to tell me?”

“I thought that day he was,” Morgan replied. “That day he was.”

“Really?” Ventura said. “Really?”

Morgan stated again that Trump was a hero on that day.

“Then he accomplished what he wanted out of you guys,” Ventura said smiling.

“No, I think you can be heroic on one day, and you can be less heroic on others,” Morgan said. “But, if you ask me was he heroic when he got shot, he was.”

“Sure, yeah, yeah, you’re right,” Ventura said. “You know what I feel bad about it? Was that if he’d have joined us in Vietnam we might have won, huh?

“Why did he run and hide, when he could have joined us and led us to victory?”

Morgan replied that he didn’t think anything could have changed the United States’ fortunes in Vietnam.

“Yeah, probably not considering he called us all suckers, didn’t he?” Ventura replied.

There is no evidence the assassination attempt on Trump was staged.

“On that tragic day in Butler, Pennsylvania, we tragically lost an American hero, Corey Comperatore, who selflessly laid down his life to protect those around him,” the White House said in a statement. “President Trump will never forget Corey and his beautiful family.

“On that dark day, God spared President Trump’s life by a miraculous millimeter,” the statement continued. “President Trump is standing stronger than ever as he continues to ‘fight, fight, fight’ for the American people. Only a fool would believe otherwise.”

Ventura is not the only person to question the circumstances around the assassination attempt, with some MAGA-leaning content creators on social media also entering the discussion of late. In fact, the rumors prompted a response from White House communications director Steven Cheung earlier this month.

Cheung shared an X post stating that the assassination attempt was not staged.

“For those of us who were there with POTUS at Butler,” he wrote, “anyone saying it was staged truly needs to have their heads checked out because they have no sense of reality.”

Naivete: affliction affecting voters, both sides!


First rule of political issues: do your homework, do not I repeat DO NOT take promises and statements from ANY politician as fact without investigating issue yourself. All statements may not be false, but you owe it to yourself to spend a little extra time sourcing the basis of that information. It does not matter if you like facts, you just to have them to make intelligent voting decisions. Remember as a general rule all politicians lie (or stretch b the truth) but often their words or beliefs are generated by speech writers and influencers. Common sense always prevails and 99.9% of us have it, so engage that gear!

Short Description


Presidiot aka Trumpelstilskin aka mental midget!

Reasons for Current economic conditions and an undeclared war, strained relations with European and Asian allies.

The Bill Came Due


Recently I looked back at events from the past 15 years and wondered how and/ or why we got to this point. It appears to me that over time and quietly the religious, political and radical right have been collectively and separately pursuing an agenda of “owning” America in their cause of authoritarian control. America has long been the champions of justice and freedom in the world, now these right groups have been working to control the Government by elections, payoffs and control of major companies. Our “High Court”: has been “bought”, the Congress appears to be in the pocket of big business.

At this time, we have a war started by a foreign ally and we jumped right in with no examination of the situation, without the benefit experienced military leaders and finally without notifying or conferring with our allies in the region. Currently we are at the beginning of a quagmire of our own making and cursing our allies because they did not jump right in.This the state of our union because of the ill-conceived aggression on what was perceived as a small and weak country. Our “leader” was possibly bullied or flattered into this incursion and now every nearby country we are on good terms with are being attacked by this “small and weak country.

This action has exacerbated the current high prices due of food, energy, farming and manufacturing because of ill-conceived) tariffs, and this poorly thought out and executed war. It is clear that this war benefits no one except the administration and their friends. The misaligned and mishandled administrative actions beg for voter action.

The Useful Idiot


Trumpelstilskin continues to march to a different tune which only he hears. It took no less that 4 Primary Generals and Admirals to wage WWII. They (the Generals) had a mandate from Congress to do so. These top military leaders had many qualified military officers and men to evaluate their moves based on intelligence from a myriad of sources including their allies. Aside from wet dreams what nightmares are popping up in his head other than being used by: BIBI” who has determined along with Putin and our allies that he is no more than a useful idiot. Now he “Trumpel” has become a danger to the world order. There appears to be no other country running to his aid but his actions have prompted other countries to activate their military due to unprovoked attacks by the “little Country” “Trumpel” thought he could bully. It is not too far a stretch to say that China and Russia are working their own plans to continue doing business without being involved in this little war. IF we ever get a few well-endowed members of Congress this all could be halted!

No Voter Fraud, Just TRUMP fraud!


The “loser” can’t reconcile his losses to Biden and Obama so he keeps bringing up voter fraud. His legislative “tricks” to alter our national voting, immigration are based on actions and speeches used during WWII by Himmler and Goebbels. As Voters we need to ignore the B.S. and remember the facts of our history. Politics is a mechanism to promote ideas that are not universally welcome to all voters. Religion and Race have nothing to do with a well-run government since it takes ALL of the “melting pot” to produce the country we live in.

Are We Stupid or Are They??


There is nothing I can add to this blather put out by Speaker Johnson aka Spkr. Milquetoast. I have reduced my news intake as it at once depressing, anger inciting and informative. I miss the days when one could look at any channel, any daily newsprint and get a reasonable idea of what is happening in the nation and the wider world. Now the advent podcasts, online apps and one-sided news on the tube have brought me to scour the news feed from the few sources I allow into my life just to get a “fair” idea of what the facts are. The pitch by Johnson below gives me the “ick”.

House Speaker Mike Johnson delivered a contentious pitch to voters Tuesday at President Donald Trump’s Florida resort, calling it “foolish” to vote against Republican candidates in November. This comes as an NBC News poll shows Democrats well-positioned to retake the House, with some Republicans fearing Senate losses too. Even Sen. Rand Paul predicted “disastrous” midterm results for the GOP. Johnson framed the election as a contest “between normal and crazy,” claiming the Republican majority has “defied expectation and historical trends,” while governing. Speaking at the Trump National Doral Miami, where membership costs $50,000 initiation plus $1,000 monthly dues, Johnson attacked Democrats as “Marxists, open socialists, the far-left insurgent politicians,” pushing the party “over the edge,” and leaving America behind. He vowed Republicans would defy historical odds again.

If indeed the Presidents party prevails in the midterms we can be assured of a modern day civil war which will allow the current clown to continue running the circus. I can only state again: cut through the fog of bull shit and vote for folks who are as honest as we can get in the political sphere. Keep in mind if it sounds like BS, it quite possibly is!

Netanyahu” warmonger#1, Trumpelstilskin mini warmonger



I am thinking Trumpelstilskin is a useful tool for “Bibi” to try to give legitimacy for attacking Iran. The “smart” man who leads(?) the USA is definitely a pawn for anyone he perceives as a strong leader of their country. He wants to emulate them but does not have the knowledge or ability to do it. It takes an entire team of people to wage a successful war and we don’t have that. Trumpel is more a follower than a leader. A successful cook can only stir one pot at a time.
