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...

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...

Claiming to be a Christian does not make you a Christian anymore than a saying, “I am not a racist because I have a Black friend.” I have learned a lot about people as I research information for my articles. I learned that most men and women who call themselves Christians are in fact liars and hypocrites. Included on this list are 99 percent of all politicians, and most definitely Donald Trump. When I was raised as a Catholic, we were taught that a large percentage of those who claim to be Catholics are what we called “Christmas and Easter Catholics.” They never crossed the threshold of their churches with the exception of those two holidays. So what should I call fake Christians in general? Trump has proven beyond a doubt that he is a godless dictator. His political style is a one-way street: “do whatever I demand or you will be a target, upon which I will take revenge.” “Fuck you” is what everyone should say to the immature and cowardly bully, but courage is lacking in Washington in ...

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...

Okay, before you go ballistic about my title, I have a preponderance of evidence which proves that white men are the reason for American never becoming a “great country.” (Trump is simply the worst of the worst). Fact number one: most men my age who are white hold onto prejudices they had when they were much younger. Our generation was about “success,” and success meant making lots and lots of money. We were taught to be “politically correct,” at least in public. Christianity was the only valid religion. Black people possessed a lower level of intelligence than whites. And women were expected to “remain in their place.” One more thing: any type of sexual relationship other than heterosexual was forbidden by the leaders of every Christian religion. They preached their hate messages every time they stood behind a pulpit. Until the age of 16, most of my life was surrounded in an atmosphere of white privilege. In my last year of parochial education, there was a single Black student in the ...

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...

Our government is a combination of two words which should never be used for men and women who control the future of America: incompetent and corrupt. I know it and they know it. After Putin stole the 2016 and 2024 elections for Trump, they not only ignored the truth, they hid it, fearing that all of our nation’s people would know the truth about their inability to accomplish anything. The mainstream media colluded with these failed elected men and women, and they are responsible for destroying the essence of the United States of America. In 2016, Russian agents spent millions of dollars on social media attacking Hillary Clinton. It was effective. A lower than expected turnout in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin allowed Trump to win the Electoral College, although he was crushed in the popular vote, the only vote which should decide the future of 340 million people. Okay, everyone who reads, refusing to “learn everything they need to know from television, is aware of the previous f...

Let’s take a look back into the dark days of the first illegitimate Trump administration. The connections between Trump, his “people,” and Vladimir Putin were undeniable, and supported by “Republican” politicians. From August of 2016 until election day, the man who financed Trump’s campaign was Robert Mercer. Mercer is a billionaire whose closest friends include Russian oligarchs. He is the primary supporter of the right-wing extremist blog and radio broadcast, “Breitbart.” Two years after the illegitimate election, it was confirmed that Trump and Putin were in constant contact during the 2016 campaign. The plan to win the presidency began in Moscow in 2013. Trump’s first Secretary of State was Rex Tillerson. Tillerson formerly held the position of CEO in the Exxon Corporation. More significantly, he was close friends with Vladimir Putin, and conducted many business arrangements with the Russian President. Tillerson received the highest honor a civilian can receive who is not a Russian...

  Yesterday President Musk held his first cabinet meeting. Donald Trump was also in attendance. Over the last 37 days a controversy existed in earnest. The concern was, “who is in charge in Washington?” Now we know. Co-presidents, Musk and Trump, were making the decisions. About that there was no doubt. However, it was clear that in every critical situation, Trump deferred to his brother from another mother. During yesterday’s meeting, Musk was in control, while Trump continued to mumble something on a few occasions. What makes this both interesting and disgusting is that every day Musk remains an active part of Trump’s administration is a violation of the Constitution. He is not an elected official, He has not been confirmed by the Senate. His “agency,” DOGE is non-existent. It is nothing but a fairy tale. Most importantly, Trump has given Musk access to classified information and Musk does not have a security clearance. None of this matters to Fuhrer Trump. By their words and act...

A few facts: American forces did not engage in wars in Afghanistan, and Iraq. We invaded both sovereign nations. Russia invaded Ukraine three years ago: Zelenskyy did not ‘start a war.’ However, Trump lied again, claiming that the military action in Ukraine is all President Zelenskyy’s fault. He is using this as an excuse for not including him at the meetings in Saudi Arabia, labeled as an effort to end the violence and suffering. Trump’s actions can be called “destructive and immoral.” However, this meeting will be the biggest and most destructive event in history. Ukraine will be without representation. The facts will be ignored, and the biggest bully in the world, and America’s greatest enemy, will be forgiven for his ultimate crime. When will someone from the once-respected fourth estate tell the truth? Trump has been Putin’s “boy toy” since 1987. He could not have won either election without assistance from his mentor and handler. Russia has the best ‘hackers’ in the world. I will...

    Politicians all lie, and the most ridiculous of all is the claim that America is the “greatest country in the world.” America is not even close. In a study of 15 developed nations, the United States is rated poorly in most categories. In the most important category, ‘quality of life,’ our nation was rated 15 th . It is obvious that politicians and the super-rich believe that the U.S. is the most ‘important country in the world.’ Arrogance is a trait which defines all politicians and all of our nation’s 756 oligarchs/billionaires. The facts prove that between 2017 and 2021 America lost its status in the world. Trump has made a laughingstock out of a once respected and admired nation. However, Trump and ‘his people’ don’t care. They think they are more important than anyone else on the planet. As I predicted, long before the 2024 campaign season began, Trump is now a dictator with no resemblance to any legitimate president other than himself. In collusion with Elon Mus...

This I expected. Every lifetime criminal would love to have control over any branch of law enforcement which has power over them. This is exactly what Trump is attempting to do by placing the Department of Justice under his complete control. If he achieves his goal, he will have achieved the exact same control of America, and a failed justice system, as Hitler had in 1930’s Germany. The rule of law would become non-existent. If you don’t think this will happen, you are not being naïve, and choosing ignorance over fact. Trump and Moscow Mitch McConnell stacked the current Supreme Court with right-wing extremist justices. In 2024 these six traitors to the Constitution declared that ‘presidents have total immunity.’ Trump has always been placed above the law and now he has nothing to fear. One of the first actions by co-presidents Trump and Elon Musk was to fire dozens of men and women whose only purpose was to oversee the daily proceedings in Washington and report corruption and criminal...

Trump, the Destroyer, and Musk, the Idiot, will meet with Vladimir Putin, and Ukraine President Zelensky to discuss ending the war. The meeting will be held in Saudi Arabi. The Saudi Royal Family owns Trump, and the orange buffoon has been Putin’s Puppet since 1987. Who do you think will lose in this situation? Trump continues to praise Putin. When sanctions were approved by congress in 2017, after our government admitted what I already knew, that Putin had assisted Trump in his Electoral College win in the 2016 election, Trump vetoes any actions against his handler. A meeting has been arranged in Saudi Arabia to find a way to end the invasion of Ukraine. Our nation’s greatest enemies will be in attendance: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Crown Prince, Mohammad bin Salman. Ukraine President Zelensky has also been invited. Unfortunately, Mr. Zelenski is outnumbered, and the decisions will most definitely not be acceptable to him or his people. Trump and Putin are bullies. Bin Salm...

Everyone who claims to “work” in Washington is useless, corrupt, and a waste of taxpayer money. However, there is a single thing we can always count on from these cowards: they will never “do the right thing.” Let me use two examples of how I learned that the government of the United States of America would be overpaid if they worked for nothing. One month before the 2016 election, a meeting was held in the White House. The meeting came at the request of the leaders of all 18 security agencies. In attendance were President Obama, Vice-President Biden, Moscow Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi. The purpose of the meeting was to confirm the fact to our nation’s leaders that Vladimir Putin was interfering in our upcoming election in support of Donald Trump. However, our gutless leaders decided that the voting public had no right to learn the truth. The result was Trump becoming our 45 th and illegitimate president. Our government has ignored the fact that they ar...

Fact: Trump has never accomplished one thing through his own efforts in 78 ½ years. However, he is very good at “undoing” great things. The label Trump has earned is “regressive.” If the last two weeks are indicative of what is happening to our government, the United States will be less significant than Lithuania but with a huge and unnecessary army within his first six illegitimate months in office. Trump and Musk, with guidance from Putin, are destroying everything which made America a respected nation. After studying Project 2025 and Mein Kampf, Musk and Trump learned how to destroy a country from within and remake it in their own twisted image. I have no doubt that Putin has been of great assistance to the two traitors. The easiest way to destroy a country is by removing everything it stands for. This is exactly what is contained in the modern day fascist manifesto, the 922-page Project 2025. Although Trump lied during the 2024 campaign, claiming that he knew nothing about it, ever...

I am a proud pacifist. Violence never accomplishes anything, and no war has ever been “won.” Even when I was a martial arts instructor, my first attempt was to encourage my students to avoid violence whenever possible. Our oath: “I come to you with empty hands: I have no weapons. However if it is a matter of life or death, right or wrong, then these are my weapons: Karate, my empty hands.” I am beginning to think that “my empty hands may not be enough.” It is an undeniable fact that Trump is Putin’s puppet. It is a fact known by our government, both political parties, and our military that in 2016 and 2024 Putin won the election for Trump. On both occasions, Trump is an illegitimate president whose intent is to destroy the dream of our founding fathers forever. As a pacifist, I have renounced the destructive emotion of hatred for most of my life. However, because the future of 340 million people is in the balance, and the country I love is under attack, I have learned to hate Trump and...

In January of 2017 a dossier composed by former MI-6 agent Christopher Steele exposed collusion between Vladimir Putin and Trump to secure a victory for the failed businessman in the 2016 election. This information was released just days before Trump’s inauguration. However, the document could not be substantiated by Republicans and it was removed from the media. Was this another cover-up by our federal government? Not one part of the dossier has ever been disproven. Multiple investigations by unnamed individuals appear to suggest dismissing the document. However, uncovered lies from Trump and a post-election revelation seem to suggest that the dossier was entirely true. Another of Trump’s many lies throughout the 2016 campaign was exposed by Politico in 2017. When asked if he had ever met Putin, he replied: “I never met the man,” and went on to offer favorable comments about the Russian President/Dictator. The truth is, they undoubtedly met in Moscow in 1987. Trump and his first of th...

Principles, morals, respect, and trust. Every country, every nation’s leaders, and every individual in every country must possess the first two qualities and earn the latter two. Without these qualities, no country, no individual will accomplish anything of value, anything worth remembering. These things I learned from my grandfather and one of my uncles. I consider myself a good and spiritual man because I have worked hard to be the best person I can be. I am far from perfect, but my search for perfection continues at the age of 78. Education is a tool. If it is used properly, it can aid an individual in his or her search to reach higher levels of spirituality and understanding. Therefore, I believe in questioning everything. If you don’t receive answers which make sense, you should probably discard the information. Why am I writing about myself? The truth is that I am not important enough to have anything written about me. However, the most valuable part of my education has come from...

I criticize our government and the mainstream media because everything I write is true. For example, over the last nine years, I revealed a fact which everyone knows, including our leaders in Washington: Vladimir Putin is Trump’s handler, and it is Putin who pulls Trump’s strings and controls our nation’s future. Every man and woman in our government was aware that Putin interfered in our 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections, and he was successful. These were acts of war, but no one suggested a suitable and appropriate response. How many members of our government are loyal to Putin and not to the American people? Courage to simply do the right thing is the missing component in our government today. Putin is Hitler without the bravado and screaming. His goal always has been world domination, and that begins and ends with the fall of the United States. The invasion of Ukraine was not only illegal and immoral, it was a big mistake. Putin’s forces have been decimated, and the financial cost is o...
