Oh my goodness! How much messier can it get? One can either fret about it all, take some action in whatever capacity one is able to, or forget about it and go to the spa, the mall, or wherever, while electing to disregard the obvious fact that, sadly, there is no Political Leadership on the World’s Stage at this juncture that is equipped to deal with all the mess that we have all created for ourselves, so they are just bumbling dangerously along while so many more hazards loom on our horizons! Whether here in our United States, or in Europe with all those Old Fogey Politicians determined to butt heads with Putin at their own peril, or in the Middle East where the Genocide and Starvation Campaign against Palestinian Humans continues as Netanyahu thumbs his nose in defiance at Trump subjecting the whole region to a much more violent and dangerous future, although Trump and his team seem to be focused on bringing this Neo-Colonialism Peace Deal through, or . . . or . . . with the good, the bad and the ugly seen and unseen effects of AI already occurring, or with cybercrimes, ransomeware, hacking, crypto crimes and what have you increasing by the hour it is, yes very Muddy Scary Stuff!
However, let me start with celebrating “No Kings Day” that took place on October 18th. and the Protests by over Seven Million Humans against Trump’s Authoritarian, and, Yes, his Fascistic endeavors to remake this Nation into a White, Christian, Supremacist, Racist Caricature of itself! “Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty” said Thoreau! It sure is! In the meantime this Brazen, Audacious, Vulgar President can create AI videos depicting him shitting on the Protestors, however, I have a feeling that they will not simply give up and go home!
Meanwhile, this Demolition Presidency has managed to dismantle and to gut every single one of our Government Departments! Every Single One of those we hear and know about, and those we do not! However, this short-sighted success will not, and cannot last! US history tells us that these Supremacist efforts have happened previously and didn’t last either, because American Humans will not put up with this for long!
Anyway, yes, old structures need to be updated, renovated, redone as time progresses: bathrooms, kitchens, carpeting, drapes, plumbing, wiring etc. etc. Almost every John and Jane in the nation has updated their old abodes! However, I was the most perturbed by seeing the Demolition occurring on the White House structure!! Yes, one of the Iconic Symbols of the USA, one that I, before immigrating to these shores, thought was Sooo America and Sooo American being Demolished right in front of my sentimental old eyes for a Gilded Ballroom? And the Rose Garden is gone too? Would it surprise Anyone if Mount Rushmore is next? Oh my! Remember when the Criminal Dubya Bush Gang was mocking and ridiculing Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi Dictator, for his gilded faucets, bathrooms, ostentation, corruption and all else, and the horror expressed by some of our most Prominent Corrupt Media Personalities and Pseudo-Experts regarding Saddam’s audaciousness? Well! Well! We now have the nerve to put up with Trump’s Ostentation and Gilded Everything? Really? Perhaps we should learn to get over our Arrogance and pointing of our Fingers at Others? Huh?
Moreover, it does not seem that this Administration has one iota of respect for Traditions, History, Continuity, Laws, Rules, Standards or Anything at all! They are conducting themselves as if their Ideology is not going Anywhere soon, but that it Owns this nation. Forever? How much Hubris and Arrogance can they have? And, this Quid Pro Quo President Par Excellence seems to be intent on exiting the stage not only as the Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, but, also, as the Richest Man on the Forbes 400 List by whatever means necessary! Oh my!
Let us remember though that while Trump seems to be planning to rig the 2026 and 2028 Elections (perhaps like the Cameroonian President he wants to run at 92? Gross!), that ICE and the National Guard are now his own private army, and, while all his co-conspirators in the White House and amongst the Cowardly Republican Politicians continue to support this atrocious Demolition of Everything in our Government Structures and Institutions there are American Humans and Organizations pushing back and Succeeding in their efforts!
I’ll start with the Terrific Jane Fonda who has revived Peter Fonda’s organization that was fighting the McCarthy era diktats of suppression in order to support free speech and to stand against authoritarianism, censorship and repression. Over 550 entertainment professionals have signed on already and more every day! Right On!
Honorable Judges, Universities and Law Firms are standing up and refusing what the Administration is ordering them to do. Bravo and Hats Off To Them!
Honorable Media Outlets have walked out of the Pentagon refusing Hegseth’s orders to censor and monitor their material and sources. Well Done!
Admiral Alvin Holsey, of the US Military South Command resigned allegedly because of the obliteration of so-called Venezuelan Drug Vessels by our military without due process, accountability or proof of anything nefarious. Respect Sir! Respect!
The Trump Retribution Campaign against political figures and lawmakers is meeting with counter lawsuits and defiance. As it should be!
Some in the Media Networks are pushing back against the Lies, Deceit and Hypocrisy of an Administration hellbent on rewriting history, facts and their efforts at silencing dissent. And, we need the Media to continue this and much more for as long as it takes!
But what is the looming scandal hovering over all the chaos, disruptions and pettiness of everything going on? It is The Epstein Scandal! And, the reverberations of this scandal traveling across the ocean from the United Kingdom and Buckingham Palace and how Prince Andrew has been stripped of his royal titles and benefits due to his involvement in sexually abusing the now deceased Virginia Giuffre as illustrated by her posthumous memoir: Nobody’s Girl is bound to have a ripple effect on our shores! How long will they manage to cover up for the Lolita Express and its Abusive Passengers in a World that does not keep Secrets Anymore?
Oh! My Goodness! Breathtaking! Dangerous! Controversial! Unpredictable! Where does all this go as the Demolitions continue?
