Trump’s video showing him dumping feces on protesters says it all. But the glee shared by MAGA supporters shows how deeply radicalized these people are. We should not underestimate their hatred for liberal ideals. We need to use every peaceful means to drive them from power. Vote on Nov. 4th!

Trump loves to pick on weaker counties like Venezuela and Columbia. But he does not stand up to Putin or Xi. We should expect Trump to once back Putin and attempt to sell out Ukraine. He is also backing down in dealing with China. China knows Trump is a bully who picks on the weak. China will win.

It was a great to see millions attending the No Kings protests. It must continue. But of greater importance is for everyone to vote in November in every election that they are allowed to participate in. A strong showing at the polls will reinforce the No King’s statement opposition statement. Vote.

Will Trump never learn? His latest effort. an attempt to support President Milei of Argentina with $20B loan may have cost Milei the election. Argentinians are a proud people and they do not accept intimidation. But Trump did just that. He linked the loan to an election result. Argentines are mad!

Trump’s attacks on Venezuelan boats makes for great PR but is not going to make difference. We need to stop the flow of drugs. However, a more effective, although less dramatic way, is to adequately fund drug prevention and counseling programs, and local law enforcement. Kill demand; kill supply.

One cannot but be amazed at how short sighted and stupid Trump’s China policy is. He knew, or should have known, that China has a strategic advantage over the U.S.: rare earths. This advantage puts China in a superior position. Yet, he continued to bully China with new restrictions. He has failed.

Trump and Hegseth’s attempt to silence the reporters who cover the Pentagon is another Hitler style example of press censorship. It won’t work. They will get information from various sources in the Pentagon. More importantly, the demand is another attack on free speech. We must oppose such actions.

It looks like Trump, the peacemaker, is back to being TACO. China imposed new restrictions on rare earth exports and uses. Trump responded by imposing a 100% tariffs on all chinese goods. He then sends out a message a few days later that contradicts his actions. Trump blinked; he shows weakness.

I think Hamas won a great LT strategic victory. As a result of the war the U.S., the Gulf States, and other counties will assert control over Gaza. These countries offer the best chance for a Palestinian state. It cost 67,000 Palestinian lives and many more injured but the result is good for Gaza.

Democrats are being blamed for the government shutdown. The impact on federal workers and contractors is terrible. But people should not forget that potentially 22 million people will see their medical premiums increase significantly. Red and Blue will be adversely affected. Dems must not give in.

The really sad thing about the U.S. shutdown is that it is about providing adequate health care to U. S. citizens. Adequate health care should be considered a right not a gift. A healthy population is necessary for a society to prosper. Republicans treat healthcare as a gift. How pathetic is that?

Trump, the peacemaker, is still a wannabe dictator. There is no doubt the U. S. Supreme Court supports Trump when the issues fall into the gray areas of the Constitution. However, the people still have the power to stop him by peaceful protests, calls to their legislators, and voting. We must act.

We must give credit where credit is due. Trump’s efforts in developing and obtaining agreement on his 20 point peace plan is to be highly praised. The plan will take months to finalize but it is a great achievement. Trump is a wannabe dictator that must be opposed but right now he is a peacemaker.

Trump should be thankful to the Democrats for causing the shutdown. The release of the jobs reports has been suspended. But private companies, and banks, are issuing their own reports and the job market is continuing to weaken. His economic plan is not working. He doesn’t want to explain why.

Trump is really threatening U.S. democracy. He is questioning whether Governor Pritzker and the Mayor of Chicago should be arrested for not protecting ICE. He continues to attempt to smash states’ rights. Where are the Republicans that fought so hard for such rights. They are beyond contempt!!

In 1947 Churchill said “democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…’ He was so right. It is the best vehicle for preserving individual rights and creating prosperity for all. We cannot allow wannabe dictators destroy it.

Trump and MAGA keep saying Biden weaponized the DOJ. If that is the case, then why did Biden allow his son to be indicted and found guilty? He could have ended the investigation. Trump would have done it. Maybe the DOJ was doing its job; they were investigating potential crimes committed by people.

Sending Texas Nat. Guard troops to Illinois without the express approval of Illinois is an invasion. When was the last time one state invaded” another state? Trump is leading the U. S. to a stand off between states; he seeks Civil War ll. He wants an excuse to take control of state power. No way.

The Republican Party (the Party) has always stood for limited federal government and States’ rights. Yet under Trump, the Party remains silent as Trump tramples on the rights of states to police themselves. Where is the Party? Silent. They really should change their name to the Trump Party!

Hegseth’s speech was all about eliminating diversity in the military. I wonder what he would have said when Pres. Truman issued Exec. Order 9981 in 1948? That order mandated equal treatment and opportunity for all in the armed services, regardless of race, color, religion, or national origin. Well?

Protesters must be smarter in choosing tactics to oppose ICE, the National Guard ( NG) and U.S. Armed Forced ( AF) The more violent protesters are, the better case Trump can make to send in the NG and AF. Peaceful protests are the only way to win over public opinion. Otherwise we are the bad guys.

Trump is signaling a weakening in the face of Democratic opposition; he is abandoning Republican legislators! He sees that Democrats have the right issue to justify the shutdown; higher premiums will hurt his Party. Democrats may need to endure short term criticism but will win in the end. Fight!

I am not an hysterical person, but I must say, in the loudest way, Trump must be stopped legally. He and his cohort are attempting to takeover of America. ICE, the unnecessary mobilization of the National Guard, suppression of free speech are harbingers of a takeover. We must resist but peacefully.

One way to help people in the neighborhoods that have been invaded by ICE is for all residents to wear masks, gloves, and cover the neckline. I think using V’s mask (taken from the movie “ V for Vendetta” ) would be a great choice. ICE would be forced search everyone not just dark skinned people.:)
