You may remember one of his many boasts (lies): “Only I can fix it!”. That statement should read: only I can cock it up! As previously stated “Trumplestilskin spinning gold into crap! The gold market has steadily shown (until now) growth for years and now under the management of this administration and its corps of unqualified cabinet members we (USA) are saddled with 40 trillion in debt, high inflation, an ill-used Whitehouse and an illegal war that we can’t get out of. Meanwhile Trumpel bloviates his way on his behalf. I daresay Trumpel thinks the treasury is his own private cashbox.

President Donald Trump has “dug himself into the deepest hole of his life” by starting the Iran war, and knows he’s at a disadvantage, one top foreign policy analyst says.David Rothkopf told The Daily Beast Podcast that the president, after nearly six months of war and the expiration Monday of a truce deadline, faces several problems of his own creation, including weapons shortages, declining troop morale, and ego-fueled expenditures. Iran, meanwhile, has only become more emboldened.”He has dug himself into the deepest hole of his life,” Rothkopf, the Daily Beast’s chief global affairs columnist, told host Joanna Coles. “He was better off with his bankrupt casinos in Atlantic City than he is with this war in Iran.”


It is apparent that the Presidiot and company use “pre lies” to cover their lies. This method of communication is common among Dictators, the downside is that it takes ordinary people a minute to catch on to this tactic. Major instances of the “pre lie”: Condition of the East wing’s condition to raze it and build a ballroom with someone else’s money (ours), removal of the venerated Rose Garden to install a marble clad, Patio. The “remodeling” of the reflecting pool (or perhaps we should say the “greening of the reflecting pool) again with someone else’s money (the taxpayers). we couldn’t possibly list the grand scale of the “pre lie” in this administration but we do have a sense of it


This past year has been an eye opener. The Congress has all but capitulated to the whims of Trumpelstilskin. The evidence of his malfeasance and downright criminality shows in every sector of America and our allies on all sides. Without making an impossibly long list, look at his increase in wealth on the backs of citizens medical plans, tariffs which affect American consumers and general ignorance of the role of President. His cabinet choices are disasters and have been the reason for medical crises, job losses and the desecration of public buildings inside and out. One of the most egregious acts is an attempt to push legislation that would prevent he and his family from prosecution for his outright theft of public funds.


Suppose we were able to have all of the past legislators (and some current) from both parties who really spoke and worked for the voters and the country, would we be better off? With all of the negatives we have experienced from various members of Congress we should be smarter in voting, yet we are not! I struggle to remain as neutral as I can in politics but the past political climate from pre-civil war until now has shown me that the political parties fail regularly, it comes down to who fails the least or causes the least harm to voters. Flexible voters should be our goal-not locked in parties.

The success of a country depends largely on the people being engaged in the election process by a reasonable knowledge of what their elected officials are doing on their behalf. We have all heard, seen or experienced political rallies that promise actions and fail to deliver. Denigrate their opponents to get votes and still do not deliver! It ONLY takes a little more reading or listening to several news sources for a realistic view of what is happening in our daily lives. Politics seems to have two primary effects on those who run for office and win, they either go high or they go low each extreme land on the heads of the voters. This constantly moving event causes irrational voting and understanding of what is being done leaving the door open for misinformation and division between voters according to their place in life.

I am sure everyone who looks at any news has seen or heard any news understands (or should) that the current administration is corrupt and dishonest. We all marvel at how people we elect (some of them) go into the office poor (so to speak) and leave well heeled. Prime examples: Mitch McConnell, Mike

Madigan. The dailies on the current Presidiot are jaw dropping! Truumpel went into the office a mere Millionaire (if we are to believe him) and is now in less than a year is a billionaire! Congress has said nothing or done nothing except chase down Dr. Anthony Fauchi. Voters have the power to end it



Trumpelstilskin is still trying to spin tariffs into income for Americans. The last round of tariffs resulted in less income for voters and their families. The administration was sued for tariffs by many companies and won! Now the Presidiot is putting more tariffs on goods to finance his ill-fated war with Iran. It should be no surprise that this administration is failing as the cabinet members are all unsuited for the jobs they were selected for (fealty should not the main qualification for a cabinet post). There is a possibility for Congress to wrest control of the Government if they chose to do so, this has been shown by statements from retiring members of Congress who broke with Trumpel on their way out the door.The one strong card the voters have is the vote, and (pardon the pun) our Trump card.-

It is difficult for me to believe that so many of us (voters) still think our votes do not count, well you’re wrong. Think about the machinations of this administration to create new laws regarding voting rules governing who can vote. The 2020 election was clean and fair, yet the Grifter of the United States is still trying to litigate it in the public sphere. The power to create good government starts in the voter’s booth. it’s time to say” no mas, no mas “to Trumpels actions which amount to high crimes and misdemeanors which are impeachable offenses. To the die-hard Trump supporters, if you believe in his actions against other countries and deporting the residents of those countries who work in our fields, our healthcare facilities and other sectors are good things, then explain to me why hospitals. farms and other unskilled labor jobs are going unfilled.

It is bad enough that we are in an unnecessary war that we are the losing (note that no allies or military personnel were involved in that decision) and has caused our nearby to be attacked with no warning. The cost of this incursion is costing the American people, and we will get no return on our money!


Dude made a deal with the Saud’s for Nuclear abilities in exchange for? Most likely some deal for himself and his family. It should be understood that the dude is out for himself and not the United States. Essentially, he is stealing in plain sight! His ineptitude is classic to say the least and prominent in his “deals” which always result in his enrichment! He needs to go!!

John Thune casts aside 'Trump's whims' as 'GOP bickering' rattles party: report

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has been forced to cast aside President Donald Trump’s “whims” amid a “formidable” dilemma facing Congressional Republicans this week, a week that serves as one of the party’s “last” chances to advance the White House’s agenda, Punchbowl News reported Wednesday.

Under the leadership of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), House Republicans are pushing to advance a reconciliation package that includes $60 billion for the Pentagon to help cover costs of the deeply unpopular U.S. war against Iran. The House will adjourn for a five-week recess on Thursday, giving House lawmakers a short window of opportunity to advance the legislation.

On Tuesday, however, Thune spoiled Johnson’s plans by declaring he “wouldn’t advance” the reconciliation package – scheduled for a House vote on Wednesday – until the Senate finds a path toward advancing a broader government funding bill for next fiscal year, Punchbowl News reported.

“Let’s be clear about how disastrous it would be to jam through a [continuing resolution] via reconciliation,” Punchbowl News’ report reads. “It means Democrats could force an unlimited number of amendment votes at a simple-majority threshold on pretty much any topic.”

“Thune is looking to protect his vulnerable senators from yet another vote-a-rama. As he finds himself increasingly at odds with Trump, Thune is looking out for his Senate majority – not Trump’s whims.”

Further complicating matters is the SAVE Act, Trump’s controversial voter ID bill. While the House has passed the SAVE Act multiple times, Thune has repeatedly stated that the bill lacks enough support to advance in the Senate.

“Senate Republicans are skeptical they can get any of the SAVE Act included in the reconciliation bill,” Punchbowl News’ report reads. “That will cause major problems with House Republicans.”

The report emphasizes the widening rift between two powerful GOP leaders.

“We’re seeing once again the massive gulf between Johnson and Thune,” it states. “The two top Republicans seem to have different motivations at the moment and are handling their jobs very differently.”


We have forgotten or ignored the phrase: “Lest WE Forget”. The indications and actual statements has given us clues as to what FFLOTUS was going to do in a second term. We have an opportunity to compare the first term to the Biden term as well as the accelerated actions of FFLOTUS’s second term (which is only a few months old). The speed of actions (Executive actions) and the unresearched content or effect is a wakeup call, or IT SHOULD BE! The so called “red” states” and their representatives to Congress are oddly quiet while the changes, tariffs and cuts to the Government workforce which will affect all states with a federal government office in its cities. What is affected by cuts and tariffs? Tariffs are Taxes pure and simple no matter what anyone says. Downsizing government offices staff will slow processes needed to continue the Governments work. The hardest hit will be the least able to afford even the smallest cut in their incomes. Then there’s the illegal war with Iran! Trumpel started this war as an affront to Biden and Obama and perhaps to enrich himself and his cronies. The current Congress (GOP) has all but given up the legislative responsibility it has to enact war powers and control spending. The most wasteful administration in decades is spending wildly with only a few comments from Congress. As a taxpayer, I see the erosion of public trust and the decimation of the national ability to function in a normal fashion. Now more tariffs are proposed on Canadian goods on top of what already exists. This administration has stolen more funds from the people than any criminal organization in history. We are essentially in a “Nero fiddles while Rome burns” situation. The way out is an all-out voter revolt where the people speak out in the voting booth!
