TRUMP 2-STEP TIME

Now, you left your window open
Just to keep your spirit rolling
But you're hoping that your mind will close the door
Take it up two steps higher
When you're drowning in the fire
The hope you had helped you on the way.
-Tedeschi-Trucks Band

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Lying scumbags. All they want to do is incite trouble. White, male Republicans are liars, pedophiles and violent

The three-part plan?
jmp1956.bsky.social
1) Trump increases chaos in the streets

2) Trump declares nationwide martial law

3) Trump cancels 2026 elections

It’s not hard to see this coming. The famous “Epstein Files”, if released, will be ignored. “Voting” just won’t happen.

So what do we do? This is the ultimate “Niagara Moment”

The Hunter’s Moon

The Hunter’s Moon rides high,
High o’er the close-cropped plain;
Across the desert sky
The herded clouds amain.

WORLDWIDE STEEL OVERCAPACITY

Measured by the kilogram, steel costs less than bottled water.

China started an overcapacity of steel production. Too much for China. Dumped as exports, driving down global prices. Response was protective tariffs & import quotas.

Economist, F. Hayek, wrote that a potential dictator must have the support of the "docile and gullible" without "strong convictions of their own" who are "easily swayed" and "readily aroused" to "swell the ranks of the totalitarian party."

Wow, Eric. A lucky guy!

Albania is a place most of us would pick for R & R, right?

OK, a few problems (worldjusticeproject.org/sites/defaul...), but lots of negative people are always knocking down other countries.

Albania: an easy place to stay (see albaniantimes.al/albania-rank...).

Businesses like to quote the Wayne Gretzky hockey maxim, “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.” Good advice, but AI is slapping the puck faster than ever before. Hard to keep up. McKinsey has some thoughts:

Yeh, they can't mess with the process, but they can chokehold the dissemination.

Will they pick him up? Hey, is Puerto Rico part of the U.S.? I asked a Trump dumbass, but he couldn't answer me. Maybe they will give him some paper towels and send him back where ever that is.
