Trump claims that his tariffs will force large corporations to return their factories to the United States. Of course, this will never happen. America’s motto is ‘profits before people.’ When these tariffs take effect, the result will be even higher prices for consumers. I believed that our presidents were intelligent men; more intelligent than me. However, in 2025 I know that I am far more informed and possess far greater mental competence than the buffoon in the White House. One fact proves that even Trump’s businesses would suffer from his ill-advised tariffs. None of his silly hats, etc., etc.,’ etc., are manufactured in the United States. The huge tariffs on China will force an increase of as much as 50 percent for his own merch. Nearly all of his cheap merchandise, and those of his daughter, Ivanka, are manufactured in the country he claims to hate the most: “Jina.” Like Doctors of Medicine, the first duty required of our presidents is “do no harm.” Trump lied to get votes; that ...

Although Trump’s supporters will deny the truth, it is well-known that Trump’s history is composed of criminal actions, many of them involving sexual harassment. His business practices involved tax fraud, bribing public officials, and refusing to pay contractors for work on his properties. Without bailouts from Vladimir Putin, his oligarchs, and the Saudi Royal Family, Trump would have been penniless decades prior to the 2016 election. However, when he was illegitimately elected in 2016, the seriousness of his crimes rose to frightening levels. His first Constitutional violation continued throughout his failed and illegitimate presidency. He violated the Emoluments clause every day and no one stepped in to stop him, The mainstream media failed to do their job and expose him. Billionaires and millionaires protect each other. The first notable and public violation of the Law of the Land involved efforts to bribe the President of Ukraine. He held aid for the democratic nation hostage in e...

The Truth: Tariffs are Import Taxes which go into the national Treasury. However, Consumers pay that tax when prices are raised for commodities as importers pay more for their raw goods. Trump Obviously Failed ‘Economics’ in Military Boarding School. I was aware of this fact and knew that his promise to end inflation, or more accurately, “Greedflation,” on “day one,” was a blatant lie. Trump jokingly referred to yesterday, Wednesday, April 2, 2025, and “Liberation Day,” when his ill-advised tariffs would become a reality. [The new tariffs introduced by Mr. Trump on Wednesday include a 10% universal tariff, as well as so-called reciprocal tariffs on more than 60 countries that are trade partners with the U.S. The tariffs will be additive, meaning that imports will face both the universal tariff of 10% plus the specific reciprocal import levies targeting each nation.] Trump lied and said that “eventually prices will be lowered.” The facts and opinions of qualified economists claim the op...

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...

  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...

The undeniable truth is that neither political party exists today. The Party of Franklin Delano Roosevelt is nothing but a memory, and the last Republican president who led the Party of Lincoln was Richard M. Nixon. Yes, Nixon, just check his record. After Ronald Reagan’s victories in 1980 and 1984, cowardly Democrats feared losing elections and began moving away from their liberal principles and more to the right. The party of FDR has never been the same. In that same year, 1980, the election of Ronald Reagan signaled the beginning of the end of the Grand Old Party. Reagan proved that he was a better actor than most people believed. He fooled me and millions of others who were looking for a real leader to take residence in the White House. Reagan informed the entire Republican Party of what his presidency would involve. He was in charge. There would be no opposing opinions or arguments when he declared the party’s position on any issue. In other words, free thought and alternate ideas...

Trump says he will bomb Iran if they refuse to agree to his version of a nuclear arms treaty. A diplomat, he is not. His book, “the Art of the Deal” is another joke. The following quote defines your illegitimate president “Violence is the method of ignorance, the weapon of the weak. The strong of heart and brain need no violence, for they are irresistible in their consciousness of being right.” Alexander Berkman, The ABC of Anarchism Did you vote for Trump? At this point, less than three months since his illegal inauguration, no one will admit to casting their precious ballot for an old fascist with dementia. The worst is yet to come. Trump has threatened to use our military against Americans exercising their First Amendment right to protest. It would be an unlawful act of a wannabe Fuhrer, not a president. The reality is, our military cannot be forced to break the law, and if ordered to do so, it could rightfully turn against the person who gave that order. Someone, somewhere in the w...

Trump will always be the biggest joke played on our nation. The slogan he adopted is a major part of that joke. MAGA has proven to be an anagram for “Make America Garbage Again.” This is a reference to the time before Franklin Delano Roosevelt when the United States government was completely controlled by the wealthiest men in America. That is exactly what is happening today: the destruction of every accomplishment over the last 60-70 years. Over my 78 years, Republicans were known as the “party of regression,” and it is even worse today. It has moved so far away from the Party of Lincoln, it has become an organization composed of fascist philosophy. It is Trump and his party who ignore the needs of all Americans. They and the oligarchs who own them, are responsible for Greedflation, why America is the only nation without universal healthcare for all, allowing the cost of higher education to rise to a level unreachable for most of our country’s people, and denial of the fact that all p...

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...

Trump 2.0 is a continuation of 2017-2021, he is doing nothing for our country and its people. Trump, “the Dictator Destroyer,” is dismantling important agencies, while he ignores inflation, and the fears of millions of our nation’s people. To damage our country further, the Destroyer selected the worst of the worst to fuck up everything which functioned, including Musk, Rubio, Hegseth, RFK Jr., and the rest. The inmates are running the asylum. Some of the “very important” efforts by your mentally challenged president are forcing Greenland to be part of the U.S., making Canada our 51 st state, ending federal funding for education in the inner cities, dismantling law firms associated with many investigations into Trump’s never ending criminal life, and to sum it all up, “taking revenge on anyone and anything which exposed the real Donald Trump.” Hillary Clinton has the courage to tell the absolute truth. Clinton wrote: “Top Trump administration officials put our troops in jeopardy by sh...

In recent days it has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump’s administration is the most incompetent and unqualified in history. Sadly, the hypocritical and cowardly members of the Senate confirmed these morons. The careless and dangerous security violations by Mike Waltz and Pete Hegseth are far more serious than Trump would like you to know. Imagine that the attacks were against our greatest enemy; Russia. A mistake at this level could mean the physical destruction of America. It is more obvious than ever that Trump’s administration is composed of men and women who fail to possess qualifications for their positions. Unlike President Obama and President Biden, whose staffs were composed of people whose talents and abilities were incomparable. Trump chose individuals much like himself: criminals, degenerates, ambitious men and women who would take any position offered them which would give them relevance and credibility. Experience and qualifications were not considered by T...

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 ...

Why is Trump determined to crush any efforts to implement a policy of DEI in American business? Simple. He is a Nazi and the leader of the white supremacist movement in America. He was raised to believe that whites were the persecuted race and men and women of color were attempting to take control of our nation. Trump’s idols are the worst men in history, including Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Putin, and the Cown Prince of Saudi Arabia; Mohammad bin Salman. He studied Hitler’s speeches every night. It is true that none of this can be proven. However, several individuals claimed that Trump’s father, “Fred Trump,” attended KKK rallies. What is undeniable fact involves Fred Trump’s real estate empire. Rental agents employed by Trump’s apartments were instructed to place a large red “C” at the top of any applications submitted by men and women of color. Trump worked for his father in these buildings after he received his diploma, obviously purchased by his father, from Wharton Business College. ...

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 ...

It’s obvious that Trump and his co-conspirator, Musk, don’t care, but a revolution is beginning across America. The policies of these old, white men are so vile and offensive, a ground swell of angry protesters are filling town halls across America directing their anger at Republican politicians. At the same time, Vermont Senator, Bernie Sanders and New York Representative, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are holding rallies in opposition to the current plutocracy and the fact that Trump is surrendering America to his 813 oligarchs, and drawing huge crowds of supporters. Facts: Trump, Musk, and their party are Nazis forcing their fascist agenda on the American people. A plutocracy, rule by the super-rich, cannot exist when a democratic government is in control. Trump’s plan is to end democracy, and establish a fascist regime, with himself as its Fuhrer. Don’t believe me? Read the Republican Party’s fascist manifesto, Project 2025, and you will quickly learn the truth. Very few Democrats and I...

  \ 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...
