Racism in America. The buck stops here.
A racist video was shared by the President yesterday. Blaming a staffer doesn’t erase responsibility.
The mask has slipped.
America deserves a President for all its people—not one who divides.

The End of Dollar Dominance — As the World No Longer Needs America
Maybe we do need friends.
After WWII, the U.S. dollar ruled because America was needed.
The world was rebuilding, & the dollar was “as good as gold.”
BRICS has moved away from the dollar.
A global power shift.

Let’s talk numbers. America is in economic trouble.
Tariffs don’t work.
Lack of leadership doesn’t work.
Amazon: 30k jobs cut
Dell: 12k
UPS: 30k
Meta, Target, Walmart, Pinterest, P&G — more layoffs
Not AI. It’s chips.
Jan 2026 = worst job cuts since 2009.

And now Nigeria? Another American war?
The Pentagon confirms the deployment of U.S. troops on the ground in Nigeria officially to support local counter-terrorism efforts. Nigeria is rich in critical minerals & lithium.
Security or America strong-arming critical resources?

Ouch. Why close the Kennedy Center—a great American landmark?
Once Trump got involved, they couldn’t fill the seats. People simply stopped coming.
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is a national cultural center of the US, a vital cultural connector to the world.

THE FUTURE IS HERE — AND AMERICA ISN’T IN IT
China is already living in the future while America struggles with yesterday’s infrastructure.
In U.S. a single pothole can take weeks or months to fix.
In China: No rails. No driver.

Italy Says NO!
Italy has been clear: ICE is not welcome at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
The Italian government stated that ICE agents will not operate on Italian streets.
Why would ICE go to the Olympics at all?
American taxpayers footing the bill for ICE to go to the Olympics.

If journalists can be arrested for reporting, none of us are free.
Don Lemon was just doing his job — documenting a protest.
Arresting him threatens the First Amendment and the future of democracy.
This should alarm every American.

Trump says the dollar is “great,” but it’s been falling for months. Tariffs fail, prices rise, and global confidence is dropping. With more alternatives worldwide, the greenback’s dominance—and U.S. influence—faces serious risks.

Can ICE be this ignorant?
Yesterday in Minneapolis, ICE attempted to enter Ecuadorian Consulate without permission.
Under international law, diplomatic & consular premises are inviolable, meaning host-country law enforcement (including ICE) cannot enter a consulate.

Kristi Noem shot & killed her 14-month old dog Cricket — calling the dog “untrainable”
Claimed Alex Pretti was a threat to “massacre” agents, -contradicted by videos & witness
If someone’s is this extreme it raises serious questions.
She needs to go.

Seriously?! Only in America does a president intervene in another country — and fail to do the homework.
The U.S. removes Venezuela’s leader, assumes control over the country’s debt — including billions owed to China — and American taxpayers are left footing the bill.

Noem claimed: Alex Pretti planned to “massacre federal agents”
Now she blames Stephen Miller.

Responsibility rests with the President.

When the U.S. President insults allies, is America isolating itself?
Calling partners ‘losers’ isn’t strength, strategy, or diplomacy. It erodes trust, weakens leadership, and isolates America.
Respect, not ridicule, builds real global influence.
