The guy that cleared the plaza by force in front of the National Cathedral for a photo op while holding a bible upside down wants us to believe that he is not only Christian but anointed by God himself. ( or at least his devotion psychopaths do.) This rabid group of his devoted supporters claim all the time that we are a Christian Nation and that we should live our lives by those values. Sadly it appears that non of them ever read the New Testament because all they can spout are Old Testament scriptures.

Christ and his followers were taught to welcome the stranger today we want to deport anyone who doesn’t look like us. Definitely not a New Testament Christian value.

Those who say that our founders were built our constitution off of Christian values or Christianity are mistaken, because it does say that we have the right to freedom of religion, but that also means a freedom from religion. Most of our founders were Mason’s and agnostic the Masons creed is that you have to believe in a God, but not the Christian God or the Muslim god but just that there is a creator. So I will argue till I’m blue that we are not a “” Christian nation, although we do follow or have in the past followed the value set forth in the New Testament.

How in the hell did Congress get to the lame position of allowing this President and his lacky to destroy our government and our country. They have the power to put the brakes on and they are doing nothing, or at least the republican half is doing nothing. If you can do nothing else to situlate the muscles in your ass think about the world you will leave for your children. Education for the privileged, no public protection in case of disaster, no food safety inspections, probably inadequate or no safety for air travel, roads and bridges falling apart. Our entire country will crumble around your ears and because the jack ass in the White House says he will destroy your political careers you sit on your hands. Have you not figured out that your inaction has already destroyed your career, your home, and our country. The wealthy of this nation are all smart to a point, but blind to the fact that when it all implodes they are not going to have the easy life either. Change needs to happen as we move forward, but the changes that are now being made indicate a drastic downward spiral not a change for the better. Musk has a kid on his team that goes by "Big Balls" and at present all members of the republican party should be known as "No Balls". The number of people that voted to put Trump back in office that are now regretting that move far outnumber the ones that are proud of their vote. None of these people thought about what had been in his first term. They could not have listened to his speeches and comprehended what was being said, or they refused to believe it. Whether they are rich or poor they are all going to suffer from that decision just like those of us that did not vote for the felon. The attacks on Social Security by people that would treat the highest amount paid to any one individual as pocket change makes no sense. These rich folk think that reducing the size of government is going to help them, and yet all those people losing their jobs may mean they lose their homes because they can no longer pay for them, that means if you are into property investing you can buy more, but no one can afford to buy what you just aquired. How does this help? No one gets a Social Securit check and people start being homeless, and lots of people die. How does this make your world better? If you, Mr Money, run a service industry you will lose first. If you sell products that are considered extras your fortune will be the next lost and finally when no one can afford to buy anything all the money in the world will not change the fact that you to will starve and die. Society is build on interdependence of interactions and when the ability to be a part of those actions are taken away destruction follows. Break out the history books and look at what has happened before and you will get a good idea of what is going to happen next. Many of the wealthy that currently think this is truly a blessing are going to be some of the first to feel the fury of those they have caused harm for the sake of a few dollars in tax breaks and it will be a kind of justice for your good works. Fear and intimidation are the products being pedalled from the Oval Office. He and his innercircle feel that they are going to get away with whatever they want to get away with and no one is going to stop them or even challenge them. That is a falicy as more and more people are standing their ground and the resolve of the bullies is not nearly as great as the discust of the masses. The push back has gone from the street all the way to the Supreme Court. The wholesale destruction has got to stop and whether Trump or Musk or any other fool thinks they are going to walk over people without consequence are totally mistaken. Every day there is more crap thrown at the fan. Why do we have all the strife that goes on for what seems to be forever. Our situation has not gotten to the point of killings in the streets, and hopefully it will not, but to satisfy a damaged ego creating the destruction of your own home is stupid. Trump did not buy an insurance policy that is going to pay off when America is destroyed, his fate and fortune are linked to our well being and there is no way he is going to prosper from all this, and that also serves for all the people that are following his orders. We have been shown the program of this effort to destroy America, project 2025. This was put together by people that are privileged to have money and power and they want more believing that destroying the middle and lower classes is going to make that possible. It was written and published and preached during the election and now they have a spokesman that is blaming it all on a former President from the opposition party. The least they could do is take responsibility for their actions, but placing the blame elsewhere is hoping they will not be the ones that have to stand trial when all this falls apart and the citzens of this nation decide to put those responsible on the chopping block as the French did with the Royals.

I drive around all day long and see hundreds of accident attorney billboards. I don’t know if I believe in manifesting but I do believe if something is always on your mind it just might happen. So do you think there may be a plan with attorneys that if they keep showing us pictures of accidents or asking the public about accidents that we may just get into an accident?

I know crazy thought, but look at the world we live in.

With all these numbers dear Donald is on track to double the deficit he created the first time he was sitting in the Oval Office but once again the American public refuses to accept provable facts.

He is on track to turn our Democracy into an autocracy and there isn’t an automatic government on the planet that is successful or effective in helping its citizens. The 2025 project, that this administration is implementing, will hand the power and treasure of America to a few at the sacrifice of many.

If we have fair elections in 2 or 4 years the Democrats will again be expected to fix the problems just as we have for the past 50+ years, that is if we have free and fair elections.

Lyndon B. Johnson led the nation in an untraditional manner at times, going so far as to conduct meetings with his advisers while seated on the toilet. The 36th U.S. president was known for a method of persuasion called the “Johnson treatment,” in which he won political victories either through flattery or bullying. One of LBJ’s most common tactics was inviting people into the bathroom and continuing the conversation, often leaving the door wide open and creating an awkward environment.

While some advisers would turn away in order to give the president privacy, Johnson would invite them to come closer so he could hear them better. One such instance saw national security adviser McGeorge Bundy nearly stumble and fall onto LBJ’s lap while he was seated on the toilet. Johnson treated other private facilities as meeting rooms as well — he was known to have aides stand just outside the shower, and he kept the conversation going while drying himself off afterward. Johnson even had telephones installed throughout various White House bathrooms, to ensure he’d never miss an important call. The president’s eccentricities weren’t limited to just the toilet, either. LBJ once completely stripped down while conducting an interview with reporters aboard Air Force One, continuing the conversation as normal. He also began many mornings by inviting aides into the White House bedroom to discuss official business while he was still in bed with his wife, Lady Bird Johnson.

Where have we gone? The administration is using armed force to enter buildings and shutter offices that they have no business being in. The French want the Statue of Liberty returned becasue of Trump and his policies. The military is preparing plans for the takeover of the Panama Canal, Greenland is to be annexed by force if necessary and Canada is being targetted as the 51st State. That is just this side of the world what else besides Gaza does he have on his agenda? He has no plan for helping anyone unless they are rich, he plays golf most of the time and ignores the duties he was elected to fulfill and seeks to avenge every little slight or insult with the power of the federal government, and no one has called him unfit or tried to remove him from office. That may be because they have looked at what will take over, either an unelected foreign born egotistic rich boy, or another mentally defiencent idiot that once called Trump a Nazi and now kisses his ass. Now Putin and Trump are going to have a talk about ending the war in Ukraine without anyone from there being in the meeting. These two despots are going to decide what happens to another nation that was violated by one and has been abandoned by the other. This reminds me of the story of the flea climbing the elephants back leg with rape on its' mind. Both of these "rulers" need to have an awakening of their limitations even if it means a dramatic end to the capability to draw breath. The outcome of this meeting is no doubt going to be detrimental to Ukraine and its citzens and that is not a positive things for them or anyone else involved. We in the US are on the brink of having all this turmoil turn into open violence and we do not need to destroy our country for the sake of one mans ego. The Supreme Court has just decided that they are not going to roll over all the time, now they need to pull the immunity nonsense so the courts can take this idiot out. He has been classified as an insurrectionist by two states highest courts and found guilty of felony 34 times amoung other charges why he was ever allowed to run for office again is an insult to the rule of law. Everything the founders found to be repulsive in a monarch are present in this administration and the little ass wipe that is doing all the dirty work of destroying our nation. The time to stop this is about 4 years over due. Time to punch the ticket and make him pay for his crimes instead of making the citzens of the nation be his scape goats for his criminal prosecutions. The push to grab power over everything and everyone is very concerning. Those that have been named to positions of authority at the various agencies appear to have no conprehension of the damage they are doing, or they are just mental enough to enjoy being bullies on a fanominal scale. The goal to destroy so much of our structure, the principles we live by and the resources that allow us to live period, seems to have no positive outcome for any of us, the poor or the wealthy or anyone in between. If only one person profits from all this we can bet that person is named Trump. His ego, his vanity, his thirst for power will hopefully consume him in negative fashion before he has destroyed us.

The recent news indicates that there appear to be connecting channels between the magma chambers along the known volcanos of the cascade range. In one way this is very troubling as it means that there is a very present danger not just near the peaks the other side of that is that there is an opportunity to utilize that network for power generation. Most people do not want to have the national parks industrialized for any reason. With the channels connecting that means there is a way to tap the scource of heat without entering the parks.
So the idea is to place thermal operated equipments, steam engines, along those corridors and produce electric power by tapping into the heat source and injecting water into that system where it will create steam and power the engines. It should be possible to build a system that catches the expelled steam and condense the stean into water and recycle it so that fresh sourced water is kept to a minimum. That system could also provide the means to build a series of greenhouses to grow food crops on a year around basis.
Grown locally those crops would provide a source of food items for local use without high transportation costs. This would be great for schools, homes for the elderly and to help the needy. The system would provide work for a variety of skills, electrical, steam operators, gardeners and people to transport and distribute the production of the greenhouses. Utilizing the natural heat would help eliminate the use of fossil fuels in power generation and may provide an additional measure of bleeding off some of the heat that could result in lessing the danger of eruptions.
The water that would be recovered from such a process would be distilled and would need to be processed to replenish the water with minerals to help with the growing process. Mother nature does that by running water over mineral rich soils and by means of what takes place in storms, and we could create those conditions to enhance the water. After it has provided the plants with energy it could then again be reeturned to make steam and go through the process again, at least it seems possible. Not sure of what this would cost, but it seems like there would be a great deal of gains for the expense.

Arlington National Cemetery has purged its website of pages about notable Black, Hispanic and women veterans, as well as information about the Civil War and Black history, as the Trump administration’s ongoing effort to remove references to “diversity and inclusion” on government webpages.

The DOD has removed pictures of the Enola Gay The aircraft that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima because of the word, gay .

Women, Margaret Crosby who worked as a cryptographer for the OSS’ Greek Desk. Agnes Meyer Driscoll – broke the Japanese M-1 cipher machine. Genevieve Grotjan Feinstein – found the crucial break in the Japanese Purple cipher. Are being down played . As are the Tuskegee airmen because god forbid anyone who isn’t male or white gets recognized by this administration.

We, well most of us, knew that Donny was going to do damage but his a racist, misogynist ego is… it makes me so angry that I don’t have words.
