I am reading Isaacson's bio of Elon Musk. Musk is a great innovator. He breaks a lot of things with a high tolerance for failure. Three SpaceX rockets blew up before a successful launch. That's ok for rich men and unmanned rockets. Not so good for people needing healthcare and social security.

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

Here's the difference between Trump and the opposition. Trump commands a singular, albeit confusing, presence and voice. The opposition message is promulgated through multiple substack accounts, each of which has a paywall. It is disheartening and ineffective. Actually, its shameful!

The Associated Press reported on Friday that 1,300 probationary employees at the CDC were being let go, citing a federal official. The CDC had 12,000 employees as of last year. Gee, after a catastrophic pandemic, wouldn't it be better to increase our vigilance and expertise? Are we great yet?

Some 325 workers have been let go from the department's National Nuclear Security Administration, which manages the U.S. nuclear weapons fleet and works to secure radiological materials around the world, two of the sources said. Musk says, "Oops!" Are we feeling great yet?

Kevin Roberts stated that Proj. 2025 was the "second American Revolution which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be." Some are calling it a coup. A coup overthrows a leader. A revolution overthrows a government. It is a Revolution! Is this truly what American's want? I don't, do you?

Pope Francis’ letter to U.S. Bishops is incedibly powerful. This stands out to me especially. Every purported Christian faith leader who has endorsed or stood silent before Trump’s ugly immigration policies needs to be confronted with this statement. www.vatican.va/content/fran...

I used to think that Donald Trump was the "Useful Idiot" of Putin and other autocrats, but I think that I was wrong. He has always been the "Useful Idiot" of the fascist fringe and christian nationalist in America. We have spent too much time looking out and not enough time looking in.

CBS news reports that National Archives director, Colleen Shogan, has been fired.Probably because Trump associates her with the doc search of Mar-A-Lago, Also consistent with Trump's need to whitewash history. Yuval Harari writes in Nexus, "Autocrats have always wanted the power to change the past."

Read the story on the link below. It offers a strategy to end the Trump/Musk attack on the U.S. gov’t. We need a storyteller who can reach people on an emotional level, not a lawyer or a politician. It was Cronkite telling the human story that ended the Vietnam War. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

America purchased Alaska in 1867 for $7.2 million dollars. According to the CPI Inflation Calculator that is the equivalent of just over $154 million today. Apparently, Elon Musk recently purchased the United States, including Alaska, for just $250 million. Trump is no Real Estate genius.

For those puzzled by the storm trooper attack on USAID, Proj. 2025 focuses Chapter 9 (28 pages) on this program. Both South Africa (Musk's homeland) and Greenland appear in the chapter. A coincidence you say? Proj. 2025 is the Playbill for the Trump Tragedy. Follow along to see what comes next!

There is a serious fentanyl problem. It is a problem we share with Mexico, and Canada. Solving it requires cooperation. Trump blames others because it frees him from responsibility to solve the problem. Americans are dying from fentanyl is a tragedy. Tariffs on auto parts isn't going to solve it!

Imagine if President Trump had to speak two languages (or one) fluently to address the nation. I urge you to listen to this address by Justin Trudeau regarding the tariffs. Why are we spitting in the face of our best friends? Does this make America great? www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KKm...

Why did Trump exempt energy imports from tariffs? According to U.S. Energy Information Admin. (2021) the US imports 3.9 barrels of oil per day from Canada. 10% of that comes from the oil sands and is imported and processed by Koch Ind. The Koch brothers are major contrib. to Republican campaigns.

According to AutomotiveAftermarket.com, Mexico provides 38% of the auto parts for U.S. car manufacturers. Canada provides 10% and China provides 9.5%. If I voted for Trump and I need of a new car, I hope I can pay for it with all the money I save on eggs!

As an aviation enthusiast from Phila., I’m heartbroken by tonight’s air ambulance tragedy. I deeply respect the NTSB’s work—not just on major disasters but also on small, general aviation accidents. NTSB, ATC and others, deserve our gratitude and respect; not criticism from clueless politicians.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

If you want to get true insight into the events leading up to the air tragedy that occurred last night, I urge you to watch this step by step analysis by a former Air Force and current commercial airline B777 pilot.

It takes a year or more to determine the cause of a plane crash. Donald Trump spouts blame and nonsense before all of the bodies are recovered. Recording of the Air Traffic Control shows clear communication and guidance. It is available on VAS aviation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r90X...

You are a birthright citizen if born in U.S. That is the only reason you are a citizen. No special blood or DNA. 14th amend, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States." It's in the Constitution!

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

When posting facts, please cite sources and/or links. This will truly make Bluesky different. Putting the onus for fact checking on the reader is inefficient and unfair. It will also readily separate fact from opinion. It will make Bluesky the social media you can trust.
