The Autocrat must be checked, and Constitutional order restored, the Article 1 power reasserted, and our Healthcare saved! Vote no on this CR until it is changed to reflect both issues. No Kings Day II, Oct 18. Come out and defend our Constitutional Republic bequeathed us by the Founders.

The Unholy Six of the Robert's SCOTUS will continue on the path of trashing the Civil War Amendments and Civil Rights Era laws. It has now become this Court's defining feature.

As a Christian, I am daily in reflection. Searching my soul for my God's truth and guidance. Great Christian theologians have grappled with whether Christians should be involved in worldly politics at all. So, this song reminds me, I need Him. "I've been lost, Lord, search my soul."

"I need You."
"To make things whole."
"I've been lost Lord, search my soul."

BREAKING: President Obama comes out in favor of Prop 50 in California.

California, help protect democracy and return your ballots today!

Oh, that pesky 1st Amendment free speech right! Seventy-Five Million Americans who didn't vote for the Autocrat will actually use it to proclaim they oppose the Autocrat and to say, "No Kings!" I dare those America haters repeat the vision of the Founding Fathers contained in the Constitution!

Hegseth is truly an example of an "Idiot."
Idiot: "A stupid person."
Or as medically defined:
"a person having an intellectual disability."

The thin-skinned Autocrat? A "larger strategy?" China must have done something to pique him. He has no strategy; he just has hurt feelings.

I closer to deciding if I will throw my hat into the ring for Congress in CO 8th after this Nov's off-year election. Goals: national healthcare, free college & vocational education & homeowner assistance, I want overturn Robert's SCOTUS "official Acts Immunity" ruling by Constitutional Amendment.

We Pro-Democracy forces must stand. The CR gives our Democratic-Republic that chance to breath its freedom, and Pro-Democracy Democrats would be total fools to trust in the word of Authoritarians that they will act in good faith on a "handshake" promise. Autocrata obstruendus est!

For a New America @goldencentury.bsky.social · 2d

None of these things are separate, they are all one fight. And if Sen. Thune wants to keep putting the same unchanged worthless CR up for a vote, it should be voted down every single time! 1000x by 1000x "These are times that try men's souls."

The Autocrat must be checked! Since the Authoritarian Republicans won't do it, the Pro-Democracy Democrats must stand their ground; stand their ground on healthcare, stand their ground on the Article 1 power of the purse that it is ironclad and assured in any deal.

Yes, it's that dire! If you can't see that, you need to read history more. "As our times are new, we must think anew." -- Abraham Lincoln. The old trust is gone. There can be no "handshake" deal with this Authoritarian government -- yes, Authoritarian and its supporters in Congress.

The Republicans are doing NOTHING, ZERO, to check the Executive branch. Nor is the Robert's SCOTUS. This CR may be the one chance our Democracy has to make sure our Democratic-Constitutional-Republic endure in America -- even to reach the midterms for real, free elections!

Another of my long ones....
Autocrata obstruendus est!
The shutdown is not happening in a vacuum people. It would be irresponsible for the Pro-Democracy Democrats to close their eyes to the Autocratic takeover of Article 1 powers and the blatant attempt to militarize democratic cities.

Fox is just an Autocrat's propaganda channel. That twisted entity, masquerading as a news network, spins endless false lore. Exaggerate to extremes that would make Orwell blush.

For a New America @goldencentury.bsky.social · 2d

This changes nothing in America's march deep in the iron grip of Authoritarianism! Good for the suffering Palestinian women and children. And good for the freed Israeli hostages. But as to the American Autocrat, good works do not erase evil unconstitutional and lawless deeds.

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely" as the saying goes. And right now, the Republican Authoritarian party is more and more corrupt by their knowledge that in this moment, they have absolute power: the House, the Senate, the Presidency, and the unholy six of the Robert's SCOTUS.

Creepy Bondi is going for broke for authoritarianism (like the rest of that Authoritarian Party). She wants to ignite a conflagration because she knows in 2026 midterms her goose is cooked like the rest of those Autocratic sycophants.

Don't want to hear anymore speeches from dangerous viper nested in White House. I just want to hear him say "I resign" or the congress say, "You're fired!" He can go give speeches to his friends the demons in hell.

Let the immoral, Frankenstein monster, created by an out of control unholy six Robert's SCOTUS and their "official acts immunity" ruling stay there! The convicted felon and his War Criminal friend Netanyahu are perfect bedfellows for Israel!

I didn't like the interview. The vibe I got from it was all wrong. I found it hard to get pass the first few minutes. I had the feeling of "that ship has sailed." So, I bugged out. VP Harris may have been right, but is she really ready for the brutal fight to come in 2028? Grave doubts, here.
