It’s starting… if you haven’t already, please read George Orwell’s novel, Nineteen Eighty Four. apple.news/ACUiwao_3RGS...

Wow… Due process has been replaced by a subjective point system. I’m all for deporting illegal immigrant criminals, but if you wear jeans, a T-shirt and a baseball cap, you’re already half way in points to be deported.

Sadly, our society relies on campaign spending as the primary metric for a candidate’s chances of winning an election. While probably always true, Citizens United officially made political candidates CAPITAL GOODS owned or invested in by private corporations. apple.news/AoMLVRG8nTE-...

Citizens United must be reversed to prohibit corporate campaign donations & strictly limit individual donations. I’d support a mandatory $5 individual tax contribution to even the playing field among party candidates. 154M tax returns x $5 = $770M equitably distributable campaign funding annually.

I figured out the foolproof career path to land a power-perky white house position under Trump: Step 1: Publicly and repeatedly declare your Jesus-like love for Trump Step 2: Acquire wealth… to donate to Trump’s cause Step 3: Get a job on Fox News Eeezy Peezy. apple.news/A-vvGoCq-SUy...

To the 7 Canadian border states that voted Trump into office: Have your costs for goods been reduced due to the tariffs? Have you really seen your fentanyl invasion trickle away? Have the hordes of terrorist immigrants disappeared? None of that is going to happen. apple.news/AhW80yhh4T32...

If the Vance delegation steps foot outside Pituffik SB, they should be arrested as terrorists by the Danish Security and Intelligence Service and deported to El Salvador. Another photo op for Kristi Noem. apple.news/AWD23DqisRfu...

So much for “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…” You can rest your arm now, Lady Liberty. After 130 years, the U.S.A. apparently doesn’t give a shit about you any more. apple.news/AqYL78sbTSka...

If you are an Active Duty/Guard/Reserve member of any of the uniformed services and are of the Muslim faith, beware soon you may be mustered out under the pretense that your faith makes you a spy. The Inquisition is coming for all non-Christian service men and women. apple.news/Af-jPtyHGT-O...

TRAVEL ADVISORY: An utter waste of gravity, thrice-elected MGT represents ~ 7% of the Georgia population. It’s a safe assumption that this part of Northwest Georgia is as backwards as it gets. If traveling near Rome or Dalton, have a full tank of gas and stay on I-75. apple.news/AualtExzwS6C...

Trump and his proselyte cabinet only believe in white, wealthy male hegemony as desired race traits. Americans who don’t meet all three criteria are DIVERSE, which to this administration is synonymous with SCUM. Look in the mirror, Trump voters, to see if you fit. apple.news/AB9VWK82uTCK...

Trump and his incompetent cronies are truly forming a unique form of government deserving of a new descriptive term. How ‘bout IDIOCRACY? Or just MOCKRACY?

Adolph Trumpler’s ICE is using Gestapo tactics to round up/ jail/deport non-U.S. citizens who are in the country LEGALLY merely because they express an opinion that is against the 4th Reich’s absolute pro-Israel policy. The irony is disturbing. Concentration camps next? apple.news/ASkC3jpOuRKy...

TRUMP’S IMMIGRATION POLICY: “Throw out the baby with the bath water.” Atom bomb (vs surgical) immigration enforcement is just the easiest and most expedient way for Trump to whitewash America. Reality: the vast majority of immigrants are refugees from gang violence, not gang members themselves.

Sorry, poor fellow citizens. Trump has decided that feeding low income families is “woke” and you’re not worthy. Sorry, farmers, but I’m pretty sure Trump won’t buy your over-production based on this now artificially truncated demand. I guess farming is woke, too. apple.news/AyhCBd7aHTNC...

Mixed feelings on this. Most global education indices rank U.S. education in the top 15% in the world supported, in part, because we have a Departmental level focus on education quality and equal opportunity access. We should be much better than top 15%, and I fear abolishing vs. refocusing DoED.

ALARM! Trump gives fed judge middle finger over deportation halt order. On rare occasions the Executive branch used the DoD to protect an individual’s rights that were ignored by a state. But who can protect an individual’s rights when the President is the aggressor? apple.news/AGb-xTCIQRym...

This is simple math, folks: If A=B, and B=C, then A=C. Musk refers to Americans who receive federal benefits “the Parasite Class.” Trump hired Musk, and Republicans hired Trump. Ergo, Republicans believe that a significant number of U.S. citizens are simply parasites. How does that feel, folks?

CAR SALESMAN IN CHIEF For $288M+, Trump voters who own businesses can probably buy Presidential sponsorship for their products as well. !*! Be on the lookout for another executive order forcing the General Services Administration to buy Tesla cars for government use. apple.news/AFs_05Fu2RAe...

This and other acts by Trump, and Hegseth in particular, are clear messages to the American public that unless you are an able-bodied, heterosexual caucasian male, you are not wanted. apple.news/A9ZUTcu6PRMu...

Trump is on a path to do everything he can to help Putin defeat Ukrain, short of sending U.S. military forces to supplement the Russian Army. Is that next??? apple.news/AFG0d-QoDQAG...

HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHING FROM WWII? Republican “America First” (i.e., selfish, ruffian, isolationist) foreign policy wants Europe to defend itself against a new Axis of Powers: Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. The Atlantic Ocean is NOT a viable defensive strategy. apple.news/A_dlb96z7Srm...

DANGER: Trump’s/Hegseth’s border security plan is to deploy a Stryker BCT. With this offensive combat lethality (105 mm wheeled mobile gun system, mortars, artillery, and missiles - the same stuff we sent to Ukraine), who are we targeting to kill in CA, AZ, TX, and NM? apple.news/AIZPRRxKIQe-...

Zelensky would be wise to take his minerals deal to the EU - Trump has flung Ukraine under the bus already.

Hmmm… Trump really tried to poke the good ole’ Red, White and Blue at President Zelensky today on behalf of Trump ally Putin. Russia’s flag is also red, white and blue, folks.

WOW! After today’s Trump/Vance ambush on Ukrainian President Zelensky, I am so embarrased to call myself an American. I applaud Pres. Zelensky for standing up to our bully dictator and Putin puppet!!!!

Trump & Musk are agents for implementing Project 2025 and the collective vision of its authors and followers to end civil rights in America, where racism, bigotry and wealth are valued… a revised American culture of wide class and education disparity common 200 years ago. apple.news/Aw_7Z0tJJSd-...

Trump’s bully Gaza “strategy” is what twisted captors do to their captives: threaten to withhold something in order to force the captive to do something against their will. This kind of hostility is reckless and dangerous and puts the USA at serious risk. IMPEACH NOW! apple.news/ARlbTpHYCR9G...

Isn’t it clear yet that Trump and his agency implants are executing a coup in plain daylight? How is it possible that a billionaire outsider (Elon) can be fully empowered to direct throughout the government? Non-MAGA gov leaders must quickly find their spine and stop this. Impeachment ready???
