Present at Trump’s inauguration were several oligarchs. In total there are 813 billionaires/oligarchs in the United States. Our nation’s economy has been based on capitalism for centuries, but devolved into a plutocracy between 2017 and 2021. All three branches of our government are controlled by right-wing extremists who are owned by Trump and his oligarchs. This is exactly the same situation in Russia. Putin and his oligarchs have been in complete control of an entire nation for decades. Anyone who dissents is punished. Trump is attacking everyone who disagrees with his fascist policies, or investigated his failed coup attempt on January 6, 2021.          Recently Trump added another tactic used by both Adolf Hitler and Putin. He barred legitimate news agencies from the White House. Coincidence? Not on your life. Okay, maybe you don’t care about Trump’s lies. In 2015 he was asked about Putin. His response was: “I never met the man.” Records...

My title is of course is a play on the words which compose an old adage. However, it is apropos. Like Trump, Musk cannot accept criticism, although I doubt that he is unaware that he is one of the most hated man in America. Musk was in Wisconsin on Saturday, attempting to buy votes for Trump’s candidates running for the state Supreme Court when he was heckled and booed constantly. In typical Fascist Party response, he claimed that the protesters, all of them, had been paid by Democratic Benefactor, George Soros. After he was forced to exit the town hall meeting, he went on his failed social media, “X”, and wrote the following. "Literally are paid 'protesters!'" Sure looks like people getting ready to protest, or having finished, going home. How do you get paid out of this? I assume that Soros is also responsible for the vandalism happening at Tesla dealerships, the Republican protestors at Town Hall Meetings across America, and the billions of dollars Musk’s business ...

  I shouldn’t have used this title, but I’m not sorry. I was reading a comment by President Moron when on Air Force One, and I was so angry I began shouting expletives at the computer. I am aware that Trump has no respect for the Constitution, but to claim that he might be running for a third term really pissed me off. But that wasn’t the worst. He continued his big lie, claiming that he won the 2020 election and it was rigged for Joe Biden. Un-fucking believable. Here's the truth. There is an abundance of circumstantial and confirmed evidence that both the 2016 and 2024 elections were bought and paid for by Vladimir Putin, and Trump was complicit with the Russian president. I lost it. Above all I hate lies and liars. The truth is if Trump’s mouth is open, he is either stuffing fast food into his pie hole or about to tell everyone another lie. Liars do not deserve trust or respect, and for me this defines my feelings for the worst man in the world. I have no personal reason to hate...

If you are a low-income or poor America who will soon appear in a court of law, you will find justice is swift and brutal. However, if you are rich, and/or powerful and face similar charges, your case may not come to trial for years, and the outcome is likely predestined. The Sixth Amendment in the United States Constitution guarantees the right to a speedy trial in all criminal prosecutions. This sounds good, but the truth is this amendment offers the rich and powerful more ways to escape a fair trial and to never be punished for their crimes. The best lawyers in America are also the most expensive. Our nation’s justice system is similar to the Income Tax Code. The Tax Code is composed of 6,871 pages. With the exception of about 200 pages the remainder offers ways for the wealthy to avoid paying their fair share of taxes. Our justice system allows the rich and powerful to manipulate the law. Not a single one of these privileged Americans has ever been fairly punished for his or her cr...

Across America there is a new four-letter word used by tens of millions of Americans. That word is “M-U-S-K.” His fascist efforts to destroy the lives of working-class Americans is undoubtedly the greatest crime in Republican’s war on the majority since Reagan in 1981. Things the super-rich don’t care about: what other people think of them, the fate of anyone other than themselves, if their actions destroy lives, if America succeeds or fails, and if their efforts to become more wealthy harm others. This is a perfect description of Musk and the other 812 billionaires/oligarchs in America, supported by Trump’s American Fascist Party. It's not that Trump and Musk don’t know that the vast majority of Americans are angry and disappointed by their vile actions, they simply don’t care. These are two, old, white men who lack average intelligence. Here are some of today’s headlines on Google. “Trump doesn’t rule out military intervention in Greenland — again” (Inflation takes a backseat to ...

For the many Constitutional Violations and breaks with normal and well thought out practices prior to their invasion of Washington D.C., Trump and Musk should be locked in a holding cell right now. However, one arrogant old man who ignores the Law of the Land, Elon Musk, is violating a direct order by a federal judge and at the same time violating the Constitution. Remember, this incompetent man from South Africa has no respect for the law or rights of the American people. The ignorant old man is nothing more than a racist interfering in our nation’s government, and although he is forbidden access to Social Security records, he has found a way to circumvent the judge’s order. Remember, he does not have a security clearance at any level. My wife accidentally discovered a website intended to mislead current and new Social Security recipients. The lies offered are dangerous and a reason to place Musk in prison for many years. Of course that won’t happen, In America the rich and powerful a...

After Hitler invaded Poland in 1939, most of the world’s nations realized that only a world war would halt the advance of fascism. A single madman was intent upon placing the world under the rule of his Nazi Party. Only after the United States was attacked on December 7, 1941 did America join the rest of democratic nations to halt the spread of fascism with the intent of destroying Hitler and his Nazis from shaping the entire world according to his personal ambition. I ask a question no one else will: “the previous situation is being repeated today by two old, white Nazis with lesser intelligence. Why have all nations attacked by these two greedy men not targeted them for removal by any means possible?” I will offer you one irrefutable reason. With few exceptions, most of the world’s leaders in the 21 st century are weak, and even cowardly. Only vicious and murderous dictators like Vladimir Putin and Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman are willing to murder their opponents to remain in p...

I still remember 1981. I, and millions of other Americans were fooled by an actor. His words allowed us to believe that he would serve all Americans after his 1980 election. However, almost immediately Ronald Reagan earned his label as one of the worst presidents in American history. He waged wars against minorities, the working class, women, and all non-Christians. Trump, who has never taken action based on his own ideas, is now waging war on older Americans and the disabled. He and Musk are making changes to the Social Security Administration which prevent it from being an efficient agency, mandatory for the survival more than 80 million Americans. Approximately 73 million retirees rely on Social Security for most or all of their income. We earned our money: it does not belong to the federal government. We and our employers contributed to the program through payroll deductions. The amount we receive is based on the amount we contributed. If the federal government impedes payment to e...

I was a ‘latch key kid’ in the 1950’s. My brother and I were never in danger because our apartment was very close to our school. Next door to our small apartment building was an old house, followed by the convent, the rectory, the Church and the school. The first television we had was 9 inches wide and 9 inches tall. Of course the picture was in black and white. Television was our family’s major source of entertainment. If I was home, the television was on, even as I did my homework. I’m sure that I was one of millions of young men and women who fantasized about living the lives of the characters on the screen. Some things never change, at least not entirely. Two of my favorite movies, and one of the greatest television shows in history inspire me to dream again, even at the age of 78. For as long as I can remember, I held in my mind an image of what a President of the United States should be. The first president I remember was Dwight Eisenhower. I turned on the television when I came ...

  \ One story of little or no significance proves that Trump is a senile old man who lacks average intelligence. He is vindictive, moronic, and has reverted to being childish. He is exposing the fact that he was a “spoiled rich kid” who enjoyed the highest level possible of white privilege. Musk’s history is similar. He grew up in a form of even greater white privilege, known as “apartheid.” He began his life in South Africa. Now he is running the government of the United States of America, although he has no experience in government at any level. Musk is an engineer whose business empire is falling apart. He is too busy playing the role of an important person. On Saturday, the orange buffoon repealed the security clearances of men and women he considers “enemies.” They include President Biden, and Hillary Clinton. At this point in the story it must be noted that Musk has no security clearance. The action was retaliation for President Biden’s decision to r...

The greatest president in American history was without a doubt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Rightfully known as “the People’s President, his policies were always focused on all Americans and protected the working class from greedy men who sought to control their workers by underpaying them for their efforts, requiring tortuously long hours and working conditions, and children were not exempt. On August 14, 1935, FDR signed the only perfect bill in our nation’s history. It was designed to guarantee a retirement fund for all Americans. It is known today as Social Security. It was fully funded by employee and employer contributions. The only government involvement needed was administration. Republicans lie and call Social Security an “entitlement.” If the program is going broke, as they claim, it is because of government corruption and incompetence. The worst government in the world has stolen money from the American people for the last 90 years. Every penny my wife and I receive is based ...

Attacks on our Constitutional Rights. Planned attacks on Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Protecting the greedy pharmaceutical companies from charging fair prices for life-saving medication, required by President Biden. Violating our First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendments. Greedflation is a reality: inflation is not. The former are actions taken by Trump and his fascist party, and our nation’s 813 oligarchs whose greed is real, and their patriotism is an illusion. America has devolved. Capitalism failed the working class for decades. Their greed is never ending. Our nation is now a plutocracy, and only a fascist regime can make the situation permanent. All super-rich Americans hate democracy: it doesn’t work for them. Putin and his puppet, Donald Trump, are planning the demise of democracy in America by the end of this year. None of these despicable men and women are concerned that at least one-half of all Americans struggle to survive every month. The fact every American mus...

If Musk wants to end government waste and remove government employees who fail to perform their jobs, he is looking in the wrong direction. In a building known as the “Capitol,” there are 535 men and women who do nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing for our nation’s people. Their base salaries cost taxpayers $90,090,000 each year. We don’t need any of them. Add Trump to this reality and another $400,000 could be saved each year, not counting the more than six million dollars he wastes each month golfing and partying at Mar-a-Lago. That would save our nation at least $162,490,000 every single year. Let’s stop the hypocrisy, Musk. You don’t give a fuck about our nation or our people. Op-ed by James Turnage If you follow my blog, you will be an informed citizen    

  Trump is three weeks older than yours truly. He has been using “other people’s money,” including taxpayer’s, for decades to live the lifestyle of a real billionaire. He is totally unaware of what life is like for a 78-year-old man and his 74-year-old wife in 21 st century America, and he doesn’t care. I can tell you: it is very, very difficult. Add together multiple factors and you will begin to understand the challenges faced by most of America’s older citizens. Everyone over the age of 70 has physical impairments: major or minor. Whether we face chronic ailments from the result of aging, or physical challenges, every older American faces impediments to their daily life. Sadly, a large percentage are fighting mental disabilities which make life nearly unbearable for themselves and their loved ones. What none of us should struggle with is the ability to purchase the necessities required to live a healthy, comfortable, and safe lifestyle. My bride and I have a single source of in...

I am not unaware that Putin is pulling Trump’s strings. However, in typical Trump ‘style,’ his ego surpasses his little brain’s abilities, and he lashes out, making moronic decisions without information or careful thought. His latest ridiculous decision in retaliation to the European Union’s response to his tariffs would place a 200 percent tariff on alcohol products exported to the United States. It is fair to say that Trump is declaring war on nation’s who were our closest allies for a hundred years. Once again, Trump proves that he is unfit to be our president, and once again he confirms the fact that he is not an American. He is destroying our nation piece by piece as Putin is laughing in his Russian castle. If you have been a loyal supporter for 10 years, and fail to realize that he doesn’t give a damn about you, there’s something drastically wrong with your inability to think clearly. Co-presidents, Trump and Musk, are ruining lives and creating pain for people around the world. ...

Donald Trump’s America is not my America. I no longer trust anyone with power over my life. I have no reason to respect anyone in our federal government. If I met any member of our three branches of government today, I would ask them this question: “who the fuck are you, and why are you doing nothing for me and my fellow Americans? This is your job.” It is not exclusively the failure of our government to perform the jobs for which they were elected and appointed. The mainstream media, formerly the “Fourth Estate,” fails to expose the massive corruption and criminal action happening in Washington today. Let’s look at a few examples of how extreme the hypocrisy and cowardice has become within the print, internet, radio, and television media. The disastrous results of the 2016 presidential election are a perfect example of how the mainstream media refuses to do the right thing, placing profits ahead of the future of 340 million people. These are facts. Like today’s fake Republicans, the m...

Washington D.C. is not only in chaos, it is being terrorized by Nazi enthusiasts led by Donald Trump and Elon Musk. What if you had worked at your job for about 10 years, and you believed your family’s future was secure? What if you had worked more than 20 years and were planning for retirement? Maybe someone in your family is facing a serious health emergency and you are counting on the insurance you paid for at your job to pay for most of what will be expensive treatment. What if in a single day your life was turned upside down and you were unemployed and all your benefits disappeared? Who would do this to you? What kind of man or woman could be so callous and take away your job for no reason? That person is a monster capable of unimaginable evil. Fact: between 2017 and 2021, Trump failed to accomplish a single positive success for the American people. He destroyed many of the accomplishments of his predecessors, intentionally divided our nation, and belittled minorities, the LGBTQ c...

Elon Musk has been called Trump’s “co-president,” and even THE president. His “made-up” position is illegal, immoral, and a danger to our nation’s future. He, like Trump, is a tool of Vladimir Putin, put in positions which would disrupt our government, further divide our nation, and alienate our closet allies. Congress has the power to eliminate Musk from the picture and cease Trump’s unconstitutional firing of necessary government employees. They are cowards and corrupt. However, the people are taking action against Musk’s fascist actions. Billionaires/oligarchs care about one thing and one thing only: their bloated offshore bank accounts. [In February, Tesla shares plummeted 28%, signaling their worst month since a 37% drop in December 2022. The stock fell by an additional 3% on Monday alone.] Trump’s tariffs could harm Musk’s businesses even more as necessary materials to manufacture his products become more difficult to procure, and more costly. Musk is not doing any of this for hi...

I can confirm that Trump is the Antichrist. Just ask yourself: “what would Jesus do,” and the orange buffoon is doing the opposite. He lacks the basic traits which would label him a human being: intelligence, common sense, compassion, understanding, and concern for anyone other than himself. [In Christian lore, the Antichrist is a person who will oppose Jesus Christ and deceive the world before the Second Coming. The idea of the Antichrist comes from the Bible, Jewish traditions, and other sources. ] No one on earth is more deceitful than Donald Trump. If his lips are moving, he’s lying. He falsely claims to be a Christian. By his own words and actions, he is diametrically opposed to the teachings of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. That fact alone confirms that he is indeed the Antichrist. Over the last 47 days Trump has revealed his true self to us once again. His racist immigration policy, his random firings of hardworking Americans, and his support for the super-rich while ignori...

Two arrogant and self-serving white men are destroying our country, and no one is bold enough to do anything now. They are waiting for the courts to make decisions which may be based on political bias, and will require weeks if not months to arrive at a decision. Our nation’s future does not have time to wait.   Trump and Musk are not very bright men. It is clear that everything which is happening in Washington comes from Vladimir Putin. These old men are simply tools. Their handler is laughing as he witnesses the destruction of our nation piece by piece. Democrats have never learned the value of public opinion. In 1996, billionaire and fascist-leaning newspaper magnate, Rupert Murdock, created an extremist propaganda machine under the guise of being a legitimate news service. It became Rush Limbaugh 2.0 and has been brainwashing uninformed Americans for more than three decades. I do believe that without Fox, Republicans would have lost most elections beginning in 2000. Their polic...
