  \ 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 On Saturday, the orange buffoon repealed the security clearances of men and women he considers “enemies.”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...

Hey dumbasses: Social Security is not an entitlement: it is our money. I hope every right-wing politician reads this. Someone needs to inform these morons of the facts. In August of 1935, the greatest president in history signed a bill making Social Security a reality. Every American worker, and their employers would contribute to a retirement fund. It was perfect. Social Security would not receive funding from the general fund. It would be fully funded by individuals, and the amount of money received at retirement age would be based on the amount of money contributed by each individual worker and his or her employer. If Social Security is under-funded today, the fault clearly lies with our incompetent and corrupt government. In 2017 Trump chose billionaire Wilbur Ross to be his Secretary of Commerce. His only qualification involved Trump’s puppeteer, Vladimir Putin. Ross had been the President of the Bank of Cyprus. The bank was owned by Putin. This year Trump chose billionaire Howard...

Inside the most depressed person, there are memories of joy and happiness. The mind can easily be overcome by darkness and despair. However, the good remains but is easily subdued by the weakness of emotions which are very dark and very destructive. There is no doubt that emotions like anger, hatred, envy, revenge, and self-loathing take control when a man looks at himself in the mirror and sees insecurity, failure, and total incompetence. Over the years memories of past successes and joy, both small and large, become memories buried too deep to recall. Donald Trump is a man shaped by his own misdeeds, need for relevance, deep insecurity, and total disregard for others. He is the definition of an all-consuming disease. Malignant Narcissism : [Malignant narcissism is not a formal diagnosis, but instead a common term used to describe a person with traits and symptoms of both narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). Also called pathological narci...

You might say ‘it’s too early,” but you would be wrong. One of Kamala Harris biggest problems was the short preparation time she had when President Biden resigned from his 2024 campaign. It is time right now for Democrats to consider the woman or man who will lead their party now. It cannot be cowards like Chuck Schumer, and other old white men. The new leader of the party of FDR must be young and progressive. If you still think this is too early, consider this irrefutable fact: Trump campaigned throughout his first illegitimate presidency, 2017-2021, at taxpayer expense, and continued until election day November 5, 2024. His campaign was seven years in length. That said, I am offering my support today for a Democrat who is a new breed and much needed if those who call themselves “Republicans” are to be crushed in three years and seven months. I believe this person should be a woman who is young, an activist,  and is not afraid to challenge the status quo in Washington, which is de...

One of the prime directives of the Republican Party’s fascist manifesto, Project 2025, was to dismantle the Department of Education. No intelligent or well-educated man or woman who loves his or her country would ever support Trump, Musk, or his Nazi-loving supporters. Trump’s own failings are the reason he hates educated and informed people. Above all he fears the truth and men and women who are far more intelligent than he. I can swear on your bible that Trump is the author of what is a modern adaptation of Mein Kampf. Every idea in the vile and destructive document originated from a promise Trump made during one of his hate rallies. Project 2025 is a 922-page document with step-by-step instructions which if followed closely, will end democracy forever, and establish a fascist regime ruled by one Donald John Trump. Remember this: immediately after his pitiful and illegitimate inauguration on January 20, 2017, the malignant narcissist had all records related to his education sealed. I...

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...

A voluntary enlistment program depends on making a partial or lifetime career in a branch of our military attractive. It doesn’t help when the “Commander-in-Chief” of our military forces abuses and disrespects the men and women who are willing to sacrifice their lives for their fellow countrymen if necessary. In 2001, George W. Bush ordered the invasion of Afghanistan. The purpose was to capture or kill the architect of 9/11, Osama bin Laden. He failed but decided to leave our military in a foreign country. They remained for 20 years. In 2003, Bush illegally invaded Iraq. He lied to the U.N., Congress, and the American people, claiming Saddam Hussein was harboring “weapons of mass destruction” for bin Laden’s terrorist group, Al Qaeda. This forced many of our military to serve as many as 3, 4, and even 5 tours in the Middle East. It was no surprise that this resulted in physical injuries as well as PTSD for thousands of young men and women who were used as tools by a politician. In 201...

The American people are suffering from many failures caused by the federal government, law enforcement, and the mainstream media. Racism, bigotry, discrimination, Greedflation, the unconscionable high cost of healthcare, life-saving drugs, higher education, and housing have existed for far too long, but the right-wing doesn’t give a damn. Two issues ignored by those in power are rampant in the 21 st century and the greatest danger to our nation’s people are domestic terrorism and domestic violence. Occasionally the media reports incidents of domestic terrorism, but only if the number of deaths and/or serious injuries is great enough to attract the interest of television viewers. The truth is, there are more mass shootings than days on the calendar, and this situation has existed for more than eight years. Never reported by the media are the injuries and deaths resulting from domestic violence. Those who pay attention to the epidemic known as “domestic violence” estimate that the numbe...

The Democratic Party is filled with cowards. However, 10 Democratic Senators displayed a distinctively higher level of cowardice last week when they voted for Republican’s terrible and destructive budget. Their act of waving a white flag prevented a government shutdown. Democrats are now calling for a vote to remove Chuck Schumer from his leadership role, and I agree. Schumer and Pelosi surrendered their power to fake Republicans and Trump over and over again. Real Americans need a determined, and strong leader who will do the right thing and say “fuck you” to Trump and his Nazi followers. Democrats reached their lowest level in October of 2016 after a meeting in the Oval Office with President Obama, Vice-President Biden, and the leaders of both parties, Schumer, Pelosi, Moscow Mitch McConnell, and Paul Ryan. The meeting was held at the request of all 18 national security agencies. It was confirmed that Vladimir Putin was interfering in our upcoming election in support of his puppet, D...

Trump’s supporters share one commonality: they all choose to be brainwashed. This happens when anyone watches more than one-half hour of the lies offered by FOX News, Newsmax, One America News and a few other fascist-leaning television misinformation broadcasts. I have several brothers-in-law. One of them was my wife’s roommate when we began dating. I respected him; believing he was intelligent and credited him with his search for knowledge. However, several years ago he moved to the South: first to Georgia, and he now resides in Florida. What I admired about him no longer exists. He is now a right-wing devotee and has become bat shit crazy. He believes that everything Trump is doing is “great.” He admires Marjorie Taylor Greene because “she speaks her mind.” It pains me to know that he chooses not to believe the fact that Trump doesn’t know what he is doing, and what he is doing is destroying the lives of tens of thousands of men, women, and children. Trump has a very low level of int...

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    

Jeff Bezos has been called many things. “Humanitarian” is not one of them. If you are unaware, Bezos owns the Washington Post. Just a few years ago, the Post was known as one of the most respected newspapers in America. However, after Bezos revealed his support for Trump by blocking any positive stories about Kamala Harris during the 20204 campaign, the Post not only lost all of its credibility, it lost some of the finest, most legitimate journalists in the nation. On Sunday, your Nazi president praised Bezos and his loyalty to Trump’s “Make America White Again” campaign. “A guy like Bezos, I’ve gotten to know him, and I think he’s trying to do a real job, Jeff Bezos is trying to do a real job with the Washington Post,” Trump said, going on to say that he believes that reporting on him from the mainstream media has been more friendly than in his first term. The only thing this situation proves is that the Fourth Estate no longer exists, and the mainstream media cannot be trusted to off...

  This title is obviously what millions of voters were thinking when they stood in a voting booth on November 5, 2024. Now they know the answer to their question: “Trump is much worse than anyone could have imagined.” Let’s look at one fact offered by the orange buffoon today. Trump pardoned more than 1,500 violent criminals who committed acts of treason on January 6, 2021. They were acting on his orders, but he will never pay for the ultimate crime against our nation. President Biden, understanding Trump’s childish need for revenge, pardoned the men and women who were performing their duties, investigating the insurrection on January 6. Trump has committed many crimes and many acts of sexual impropriety during his sad and useless 78 years and 9 months. The one thing he has never done and never will do is to “do the right thing.” Trump will always follow his own personal rule: “do whatever serves Donald Trump, and fuck everyone and everything else.” Trump will ignore the Rule of La...

  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...

Trump is destroying our country and his traitorous party continues to support him. Democrats are verbally denouncing his actions, but are doing nothing. Yesterday 10 Democratic Senators voted in favor of the disastrous funding bill to prevent a government shutdown, including Chuck Schumer. This offered proof once and for all that Democrats are worthless cowards who will never do the right thing regardless of the consequences. Their careers are more important than their country. All politicians who call themselves “Republicans” serve their Fuhrer. They are allowing Trump to destroy democracy, and eventually the country of our Founding Fathers. They are fully aware that Putin is the orange buffoon’s handler. The bottom line is that the midterm elections are more important than ever. As a lifelong Independent, I don’t want to vote for anyone. It appears that I’m wasting my time and energy. No one in power gives a damn about the future of the United States of America. I hate it, by I may b...

Trump has been making promises he never intended to keep since 2015. I write a lot about his complete failure to keep his promise to end inflation on day one. He has ignored the situation for nearly three months. Another of his biggest promises in 2024 involved “ending surprise medical bills.” His co-president, oligarch Elon Musk, just fired most of the men and women whose purpose was to protect patients from being “ripped off” with unnecessary treatment costs from medical professionals. By my count, this is his 522 nd broken promise over the last 10 years. Trump lacks the knowledge and will to accomplish anything for all 340 American people. Everything he does is focused on increasing his personal wealth and power. He is without a doubt Putin’s Puppet: he owes the Russian president his very existence and has been indebted to him since 1987. Trump is not my president and never has been. He is totally incompetent, but his unwillingness to do the right thing for all of America’s people ...

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 ...

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...
