Robert Reich

Friends,

Trump and Vance claim they’re putting “America first.” They’re not. They’re putting themselves first and America last.

So what would a REAL “America first” agenda look like? Take a look:

Our real America First agenda doesn’t exclude or vilify people. It doesn’t surveil them, take away their healthcare, or give billionaires and corporations unrestricted power over their lives.

America First means taking care of and investing in everyone who resides within our borders. Helping people abroad, not bombing them. Ensuring working people have freedom and control over their own lives.

Don’t let Trump and Republicans claim they put America first. They don’t. This agenda does.

Please share.


Trumpel made up a tall tale about peace talks that did not include Ukraine. His premise is that Ukraine should stop attacking Russian infrastructure (oil, gas etc.). If Ukraine halts those actions, the price of oil would drop. He would like everyone to believe It has nothing to do with his tariffs, the incursion into Iran or any of the mis handled deals he has made or attempted to make. First issue is to gain control of Congress so he can be stopped pretending he knows what he is doing and at the same time halt the work of his ill-conceived cabinet members. This is how the Iran situation should have been handled if handled at all since there was an agreement already, senior military advisors should have been consulted (because they have lived and died to reach a point of discussion instead of bombing the civilians).

Bibi used Trumpel’s ego to drag him into this conflict (useful idiot as he is). Now he has all but isolated the US from Nato allies who would have willingly discussed the situation prior to any attack to perhaps avoid conflict. We are all well aware that every comment from Trumpel is pretty much false and our allies know this also, but they would still be amenable to talks to bring this fight (we are not winning) to an end. His campaign sweep in his new plane is purely feeding the ego of a mental midget who has been lucky to escape prison so far. With a changing of the guard in Congress meaningful change may be possible!


Random Thoughts from Me.

This appears to be the year the “Trump “train derails. The outright double dealing and grifting in this administration is loud and in our faces. The unauthorized war (whose stated objective is “no nuclear weapons for Iran”) is a thin cover for the real objective of elevating “Trumpel” on the world stage. Obviously that ship has sailed considering the ego of ‘Trumpel” has put us in a unwinnable war due to the influence of one of our “reliable Partners” Israel or more specifically Benjamin Netanyahu (and possibly input from mike Huckabee). Meanwhile Pete Hegseth has gutted the armed forces leaving no military expertise to even examine and advise on warfare.

In the background Himmler look alike Steven miller is busily buying warehouses to house “deportable” non-citizens (some citizens of color or having a “foreign” name have been caught up also).The entire cabinet is stuffed with inept and unqualified people who are looking to please the Presidiot and stuff as much in their coffers as they can before the hammer drops (mid terms).It appears that even some MAGA folks are clearing the cobwebs now that they have felt the impact of “Trumpisms” in their pocket books. This current administration could go down in history as the worst in many years or at least since watergate.

One does not have to be an avid follower of politics to see and understand how badly this country is from the top. The solution lies in every city, town, village and state in the upcoming mid terms. It is more important to look carefully at the candidates (new and old) rather  than the party as a whole because as individuals these candidates are endowed with free will which allows them to vote their conscience rather than the party line especially when they disagree with the party. Remember politics is a mainstream “dog and pony show” and not entertainment!
