Trump's health policies are in effect murder policies. The lack of universal medical care and the attack on vaccinations, the CDC, and environmental protections will produce increased mortality and morbidity.

BALLAD OF WHISKY PETE
Gridley, you may fire when ready,
God man, why's your hand unsteady?
Fire the missiles, Pete's ordered it!
I must tell Hegseth they've been hit.
But Admiral, can't you see?
They're only fishing boats to lee;
We'll blow them all to smitheries,
Just as we did at Wounded Knee.

The FIFA Peace Prize, given to Trump, is the equivalent of the Wizard of Oz's presentations of a heart, a brain, and courage to Dorothy's friends.

DICTATORSHIP OR TYRANNY ARE THE RIGHT TERMS, NOT MONARCHY. SOME OF THE MOST DEMOCRATIC COUNTRIES, ESPECIALLY IN EUROPE, HAVE MONARCHS. I AM NOT A MONARCHIST, BUT LET'S BE REAL.
If the Democratic Party retakes Congress, the first duty is accountability. Every crime, every abuse, every betrayal of the public trust must be unearthed. If we look away, we teach future generations that power excuses corruption.

I would say FIFA has sold its soul to the Devil by giving Trump a peace prize, but it never had any soul. It is as corrupt as the Trump regime is. Boycott the World Cup 2026. I SAY THIS AS A HUGE FAN OF FOOTBALL.

The "second strike" of September 2 is "controversial"? So all the other strikes on alleged drug boats are OK? Wait until they start blowing up houses "suspected" of harboring drugs. Better throw out that Tylenol.

Hegseth's second strike on an alleged drug boat to kill survivors was murder. But does that mean blowing up the other alleged boats with first strikes was OK? Why not just stop them on the high seas and search them? Remember, the US declared war on the UK in 1812 for that sort of thing.

We must remove Trump from power. But that will not be enough to preserve America's Democracy. His enablers will remain. Unless the USA carries out major reforms of its political system, the danger from anti-democratic, fascist movements will remain high.
