I quit X where I went to “express myself”. I have NO other social media besides BlueSky
People have accused me of being obsessed with taking down Trump- Guilty as charged!
I am often wrong but seldom in doubt!
14th Amendment:
SEC 1- “ALL PERSONS BORN OR NATURALIZED IN THE UNITED STATES, AND SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION THEREOF, ARE CITIZENS…”
If Trump or SCOTUS have an issue with this change it the old fashion way by another Amendment to our Constitution‼️😡

Trump lecturing Europe reminds me of that famous quote by Oscar Wilde:

“America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.”

Latin American countries must grant no-bid contracts to U.S. companies. Taiwan’s significance boils down to semiconductors & shipping lanes. DC’s “hectoring” of the wealthy Gulf monarchies needs to stop.

The world as seen from the WH is a place where America can use its vast powers to make money.

831 million people live at or below the level of extreme poverty across the globe. According to World Bank, that’s $3/day when adjusted for currency & cost of living.

If every billionaire were left w/only $1 B, the rest of their seized wealth would be enough to end world extreme poverty for 196 yrs

Sec. Hegseth pushed out 4-star Admiral Holsey after months of conflict
The WSJ reports that, contrary to Hegseth’s announcement in Oct. that Holsey was retiring a year into his tenure, he asked Holsey to resign. Tensions between the 2 increased w/the campaign to bomb boats ostensibly smuggling drugs

Goldman’s bill would impose a 20% excise tax on loans & lines of credit backed by capital assets for individuals making more than $400,000 or joint filers making more than $450,000.The legislation would exempt home mortgages & some other loans. Borrowed funds generally aren’t subject to income taxes

No question that this SCOTUS is an activist partisan pro authoritarian court that puts the ideology of six of its members over the good of the country and any sense of fairness or justice❗️🤨

Hassett’s claim of spending restraint has been challenged by budget watchdogs, notably the Peter G. Peterson Institute & Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, the former of which calculated the debt’s growth by $1 trillion in just 2 months was the fastest ever recorded outside of the pandemic.

Headlins SHOULD be:
Trump secures YUGE GOP donations from oil industry for foreseeable future.

It SHOULD come as no surprise that a 2nd tier talk show suit w/NO EXPERTISE in upper echelon military or security protocols would screw up a top secret missive like the Signal Chat or issue an illegal order to kill survivors clinging to wreckage in the sea‼️🤬
FIRE KEGSBREATH❗️❗️❗️❗️

Somalia’s leader said Wednesday that it was “better not to respond” a day after President Trump called Somali immigrants “garbage” during a xenophobic tirade.

THE ‘LEADER OF FREE WORLD’ SHOWS HIS DIPLOMATIC SKILL ADDRESSING AN ALLY🤦‍♂️

“The Trump administration is making every effort to ensure individuals becoming citizens are the best of the best. Citizenship is a privilege, not a right,” said Matthew Tragesser, a spokesman for U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services

The best of the best … or the whitest of WASPs❓😡

47 seems to have blinders on when it comes to tariffs, not only do they add consumer tax here but they inhibit sales of our goods there❗️

“U.S. manufacturing contracted for the 9th straight month in Nov., w/factories facing slumping orders & higher prices as the drag from import tariffs persisted.”

“Ukraine & Europe were reportedly shocked by some of its contents, in particular those that appeared to hand Russian president Putin much of what he wanted.”
This is what happens when Russia dictates “peace” to the “negotiators”
It looks like the USA is a vassal state of Russia🤬
December 2, 2025 at 2:47 AM
Ever wonder why people have lost ALL faith in the institutions of government❓
When we see this sort of incompetence paired with the obvious corruption of Executive Branch, Judicial & Congress there shouldn’t be doubt❗️
The Government of the USA is failing US‼️

Trump threatens Maduro by calling him a narco state enabler out of one of his faces then pardons Juan Orlando Hernandez of Honduras, a convicted criminal who helped El Chapo traffic tons of cocaine into America, out of the other face‼️

We don’t need another stupid war started by a 2-faced liar🤬

Karoline, LEAVE IT❗️🤬
This is just one consequence of hiring DEI (Dickhead Enemies of Integrity)!
The military code of justice, maritime law & our Constitution say this extrajudicial killings of 2 noncombatant sailers is MURDER‼️
If we do not prosecute it labels US as complicit & a barbaric nation❗️‼️❗️😞

TEL AVIV, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Israeli PM Netanyahu appeared in court on Monday for the first time since asking the country's president for a pardon in his long-running corruption trial, a request backed by close ally U.S. President Trump.

DON’T DO IT❗️
Only encourages the bastards‼️🤬

“Every public sign and warning by the president raises the risk that the US is on an inexorable path toward a military confrontation that would represent a big political gamble given the public’s antipathy toward new foreign wars.”

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DO NOT WANT ANOTHER SENSELESS WAR‼️

“He once boasted that he would “stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses.” He accepted a $1 million bribe from El Chapo to allow cocaine shipments to pass through Honduras. A man was killed in prison to protect him.”-NYT

Trump was never about fighting drugs!

Is this what DonOLD means when he says “There will be so much WINNING”❓
Remember, tariffs are a tax on consumers (you & me) which is in lieu of raising taxes on the UBER RICH‼️
(Trump & his donors)😞
Meanwhile American exporters get tariffed too❗️😡

Eli Lilly valued at $1.5 TRILLION!

(To get a sense of what a trillion dollars is, consider that a million seconds ago was last week, a billion seconds ago was early 1994 when Clinton was POTUS & a trillion seconds ago it was around 30,000BC, when Neanderthals shared the planet w/homo sapiens.)

David Sachs, part of the S. African mafia that ingratiated themselves to Trump w/ YUGE donations! He & Ego Musk & Peter Theil, all left after apartheid ended to come to America where anything is possible if you grease the RIGHT wheels‼️🤬
