HEY DONALD
“Where do I go to report an immigrant who was working here illegally before obtaining a fraudulent visa, had an anchor baby, brought her family here through chain migration, and who’s currently living in government-funded housing and receiving free health care?”

“Is he dead yet?” asked Piglet.
“No,” said Pooh.
“Fuck,” said Piglet.”

This is a color drawing of Piglet and Pooh, walking in the snow, between a small stand of trees and shrubs.

MEDICARE FOR ALL!
Astronomical health care costs and lack of access drive individuals, families and businesses past their breaking point, while insurance companies continue to soak-up billions of health care dollars, and millions of children’s basic needs go unmet.

MEDICARE FOR ALL!

Santa is wearing his wire-rim glasses and a green shirt with red suspenders and standing in a parking lot on a cloudy day, with cars and green trees in the background. He is holding a “MEDICARE for ALL - Health Care is a RIGHT” poster.

“The American people need to raise Holy Hell and not stop until the full Epstein files are released and every person implicated in them is brought to justice, despite their party or position. We’re either a nation of human decency or we’re not. This should be a nonpartisan demand."

In states that have Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) & open primaries, no one pays anything to get on a ballot; however, they may pay a nominal filing fee to run. If a candidate is supported by a political party, they do not necessarily have to spend their own money, during a possibly expensive campaign.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!
The Eliminating Limits to Justice for Child Sex Abuse Victims Act (2022) eliminated time constraints for survivors to file civil claims related to sex abuse crimes against minors, including forced labor, sex trafficking, sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children...

"It's tiring to look out at combat formations, or really any formation, and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon and leading commands around the country and the world."
~ US Secretary of War
-> DJT = Commander in Chief

Color photos of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. Hegseth, is shirtless and standing with several other physically fit, shirtless men (Navy Seals) on a cloudy day, a microphone being held in front of him. Trump is wearing a white shirt and shorts and his red cap and playing tennis, his large, fat butt facing the viewer, as he swings his racket.

"WE THE PEOPLE

Efforts by leaders to
pressure artists,
journalists, and
companies with
retaliation for their
speech strike at the
heart of what it means

This government shut down is all about whether Republicans will get away with raising health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throwing 15 million people off their health care.

We can't allow that to happen.

REPUBLICANS THREATEN A SHUTDOWN!
Republicans control the House, Senate, and Presidency.
➡️ “Each one of these Presidents (Biden, Clinton and Clinton) inherited an economy wrecked by a Republican, and each one left with a booming economy, only for the incoming Republican President to wreck it again.”

“Should any political party attempt to abolish Social Security, unemployment insurance & eliminate labor laws & farm programs, you would not hear of that party again. There is a tiny splinter group that believes you can do these things…Their number is negligible & they are stupid.”
~ Eisenhower 1954

A black and white photo of President Eisenhower, standing behind a lectern and microphone and in front of an American flag and dark curtains, wearing a light-colored suit jacket, tie, and his glasses:
“Should any political party attempt to abolish Social Security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things…Their number is negligible and they are stupid.”

“American fascists claim to be super-patriots…They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly & vested interest. Their final objective is to capture political power…using the power of the state & market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjugation.”
~ H Wallace

A close-up, sepia-toned photo of U.S. Vice President Henry Wallace who warned us about Trump in 1944:
“American fascists claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjugation.”

I appreciated your posts about FCC, DOD, Fascism, and Speaker Johnson. I don’t like the crass, commercial, secular spectacle Christmas has become in many places or your doll post. Farewell.

BF: I liked several of your posts; however, I wish you had read my bio, prior to posting your comment. Wishing you well…

おそらく、万博と、スコーバレーで開催された過去のオリンピック、そしてニューヨークで開催された万国博覧会との間には、興味深い類推が成り立つだろう。最後の二つの例は、それぞれの事業に伴う明らかな利益と損失を示している。これら三つのイベントは、いずれも既に消滅しているべきであり、あるいは理想的には、社会が享受できる永続的な均衡をもたらすべきである。
