Americans need healthcare.

There are tens of thousands of young Americans with families without healthcare or the means to pay for it because of the draconian firings and layoffs of federal workers by Trump.

The Democrats are their only hope to be protected. The people who accepted buy outs in fear of the future of their federal jobs are not finding other work. There are tens of thousands of Americans seeking work for the same job. 

Musk said of DOGE job cuts permitted by Trump that the workers would simply find work in the private sector. Those are the lies told to them. As these Americans now flood the job market there simply is no success for most of them.

Not just that but there are no jobs being created. Trump’s greed is grossly adverse to the outcome of Americans. The Republicans have signed on to a failing economy with this president while the cost of goods are escalating.

The federal government is being starved of employees. What do Republicans think they are funding, a bunch of hallow offices? 

Besides being a preeminent primatologist…

…Jane Goodall has a humanitarian and concerned for Earth. She is already missed.

It sounds like a Russian attack.

Time to ready NATO.

No one plays roulette with Americans health.

Congress needs to continue to work to find a bipartisan solution to fund the government.

The Republicans don’t care.

Shutting down the government forever is the Republicans’ idea of perfection. They will pack up and leave Washington, DC without remorse. So, attempting to bring them to the negotiating table to protect citizens, while noble, will be fruitless.

Those dedicated to preserving the USA Constitution need to have a plan when the Republicans sabotage the country. What occurred in Quantico should be a clear indication to their intent.

They don’t care. Be prepared to place a new government quorem without them. A new revolutionary government with remaining loyalists of Democrats. 

History will provide a path following abandonment. Trump wants his empire. There has to be plans in place to go forward without the Republicans. An act of conscience will result in time. 

The economy. A general strike. A return of the power of the electorate. Wall Street. The techies. Keep the central core and economic best interests strong to move forward and establish controlling authority. Boston Tea Party and the New Declarations of Independence. Wall Street can’t exist without the federal government. 

Declare victory and a call for elections with an establishment of a 65 percent majority to replace those that abandoned the work they were elected to do. The American people have bills to pay and a military to run. A president is not needed. The legislature can govern. The military will run. 

Abandonment is treason leaving the country without a national defense. Be prepared for the worse scenario.

Trustworthy leadership is at the core. 

Chain of power after the catastrophic death of the executive branch. President, Vice President, Secretary of State, etc. 

Abandonment is the new death of authority.

The military is not about ideological soldier presentation.

The military is about readiness. Women comprise an average of 17.6 percent. We can’t afford to lose that many dedicated and qualified soldiers. This is nuts.

Hegseth is a regressive leader that compromises readiness with his ideology. We have already dealt with this stuff. Moving forward is all that has to occur. 

The USA military is not the good ‘ole boys club. The USA military is a diverse population of highly qualified persons. How well is our military doing? Pretty darn good from where I sit. So what is the monumental problem that has compromised the USA military today?

It seems to me it all boils down to Trump the dictator and his personal preferences. 

IF THE MILITARY WORKS, DON’T FIX IT!

The biggest problem soldiers should have is how often and when they are with their families.

They put their lives on the line every flyin’ day for us. All we need to do is get out of the way!

So far as best I can tell, Hegseth’s great contribution to the readiness of our military is a well stocked grooming kit. Yes? 

Trump/Hegseth want women out of combat

The Generals know their soldiers. Mental health issues manifest during transitions. Some of what seems like a simple transition of duty stations can result in mental health issues, sometimes severe. 

Radical changes in daily living will result in additional complexities to already complex military mental health. 

I don’t see that personal identity in the way soldiers groom themselves should fall under scrutiny so long as they are clean and serving in uniform. There are going to be problems. The grooming issues will result in morale issues.

The Generals and Admirals must maintain order resulting in readiness. I trust them to under the morale of their soldiers and protect them from ridicule. Hegseth wants a dress code, basically. I don’t see individuals going to Leavenworth for five o’clock shadow. 

As far as women in combat? I think the women need to be good and equal partners. For some reason they can’t? The only determining factor on a case by case basis is whether or not the unit is compromised by women or men in combat. If readiness and safety is working, I don’t see a problem.

The complaint by women is about advancing to higher ranks which require combat experience. I thought we moved well past issues of stereotypical ideology.

It is my understand…

…Trump thanked and praised the military. That is a sea change. What does he want?

I never expected this meeting to be publicized. Now, every one who cares from domestic terrorists to every other country on the planet will be creating profiles of the leaders of our country. 

It was one thing to have them all in the same room, but, providing the public with pictures? 

I hope they all enjoy their time in the states and get a chance to visit their families before returning to their responsibilities.

The USA military is not for publication. Did they have to sign permission documents for that picture? 

I don’t know when the insult to our national security will end. Congress sure doesn’t seem to care about it.

Putin is already engaging in brinkmanship.

At this point these fly overs by Russia are incursions. They are not benign. They are a violation of sovereign airspace capable of spying. Putin is pushing his luck because he believes the Free World resolve is weak. How many decades have Russian jets played brinkmanship with the Free World? How many times have those jets been met with jets defending their land? But, after all that Putin still toys with destiny. Amazing.

Trump cannot fire the military leadership

These valuable men and women have recourse from a psychotic president that does nothing but spew hate into the country and around the world. Every person Trump assaults verbally with threats and ultimatum have recourse through the tribunals, the criminal courts, the civil courts, and the United Nations including The Hague.

Yes, it can be done. 

Trump is a human rights violator who is well known to everyone on this planet. He is facilitated by a Republican majority that is as corrupted as he is and grows increasingly corrupted.

NO ONE TREATS THE USA MILITARY LEADERS AS IF THEY ARE NOBODY. 

Trump and Hegseth are cowards and their statements prove it. 

They bend a knee to communists and take it out on our military.

Conservatives

One conservative I trust is David Brooks. In a conversation with his liberal friend he stated meaningful conservative dialogue is in the minority in most media he frequents. That may be the case, but, how about addressing those folks caught up impoverished without an interest in reading or somewhat sophisticated conversation? They have their attention captured by tabloids and the WWF. There is that culture that thrives among the impoverished in this country. I don’t mean that as an indictment so much as a frustration.

Uniting the country again under the same reality will require some heavy lifting to bring right wing dialogue, no matter the form, to appreciate the truth without myth or distortion. What I find appalling about the dual truths that exist is that the lies were easily nurtured by the man who was president and is again. This time more toxic than the bleach he queried to its benefits. That is simply not healthy and Americans died within that paradigm because they believed the lies were the truth.

We are still there. Not Covid in its virility as before, but, the lies are still propagated as the truth and the pain instilled by those lies is boiling over. 

In Southport, North Carolina a man in his boat approached people enjoying the shore and fired. That is simply heinous. My thoughts go to those suffering, but, also to my own family who have been married in the public park that is by the waterway. The ceremony had a beautiful day and was completely lovely. What are they thinking and feeling with blood splashing on the shoreline where they once celebrated?

The level of contemptible violence is taking an uptick since summer is turning into autumn. What, if anything, is being done to end the hatred and reward the truth with an embrace by those estranged from it? Nothing? We are left to wallow in misery forever?

People of different belief and persuasions need to get along otherwise the powers that be will see us at each other’s throats. This time though. It won’t be a fight over the economics of slavery. It will be about who lives the truth and who is its enemy.

The man that attacked the Mormons…

…inside their own religious sanctuary is waging a war. There is a lot wrong with that attack, but, he wasn’t crazy; he was however crazed.

Where did he even get the explosives to create IEDs? Granted the crazed people that kill Americans find a way to build bombs no different than the Boston bombers. But, the ingredients to most IEDs should be out of reach both in the substances available and the amounts allowed to be purchased by a given person. 

That sanctuary went up in flames in minutes. 

The murderer had to have surveyed the grounds and sanctuary in order to kill and destroy the way he did. Suspicious people need to be noted, photographed, and reported to authorities without second guessing that decision. The police rather know what is transpiring to look into elements of fear than to pick up the pieces afterwards.

“See something, say something.”

Fear is not a good commodity in any community. Police do care. That’s their job.

“Is not consistent with our community’s value.”

Brendan Carr is directly responsible for the dual reality in media broadcasts in this country.

He needs to be replaced. He wrote a chapter on the FCC in Project 2025. He is placing every American’s life in danger for even allowing the hate speech coming from the Oval Office demonizing those that find Trump inconsistent with our country’s values. 

This might come as a surprise but Trump is not allowed to use the presidency to foment hate causing disruption of domestic peace. It is in his oath of office. Brendan Carr is in violation of his oath of office in (1) looking the other way, (2) providing a hate filled platform to inspire violence not just by Trump but also by right wing media.

Improvised explosive devices?

ATF established the evidence of IEDs at the mass murder at Grand Blanc, Michigan. How did that man know how to make IEDs? Did he create those bombs? 

This is not us. This level of violence is not the USA.

There is a huge issue here. Governor Whitmer  touched on it. The people qualified to investigate the tragedy has to compose the facts in reports and the public has to accept that without septics and inflammatory stories. 

It occurred to me there is a huge alternate reality in the USA. It has been created for political purposes to CONTROL the hearts and minds of people. That alternate reality must stop. It is creating huge problems that are out of control. The people wielding this violence believe in their missions and it is all based on a lie.

How are those of us that live with the truth and in the world of reality supposed to defend from an alternate reality? It isn’t possible. 

Burnt to the ground, 4 dead, 8 wounded.

Sunday morning 

The fifth death was the gunman. The first responders are as good as it comes. They were on the scene within 30 seconds of the 9-11 call. 

This is America now. The hate has been turned loose, by design of President Donald John Trump. Anyone keeping track of the domestic deaths under his watch? There are 11 human beings missing from the Florida detention camp and even in the face of that reality appellate courts are passing the plans through to reopen hell. It is human rights abuses.

Chicago occupation

It appears the National Guard as police officers are racial profiling a food delivery person. How many safety violations did these neighbors and friends make? 

Hint: None of it is good police conduct. They were basically ordered to take anyone into custody that looks like an immigrant according to Nome’s “white man” standard.

Paring down the military

What do you think will happen when this group of generals are gone per Trump’s plans and new ones are brought in? A lot of adverse outcomes. It takes time to build expertise in military operations. Just imagine for one minute being captain of a nuclear power submarine that is part of the USA Triad.

What happens when in this rotation Lieutenants become generals? The expertise of the military diminishes further and further as the officers become younger and younger. What happens when the top brass are all millennials with little recognition of the enemy such as Putin’s Cold War? 

There is a learning curve and I am not just talking about book learning. There is a learning curve to know your enemy and their tactics. How much danger are your enlisted men in when the top brass has about as much knowledge about the enemy as them? 

How is recruitment going? We all know the current status of the military is a volunteer force that wants to be there. What happens when enlisted people begin to realize under this DOD there is no career in the military in 20 years of service? What happens when recruitment numbers fall to very low levels? What are the preferences of Republicans when it comes to to recruitment? Do they prefer it or do they rather a mandatory service of all Americans? 

Republicans want to raise every child in this country. Mothers are baby machines with little nurturing ability. Children aren’t really children soaking up a public education, they are youngins. They need a full course of military service out of high school in order to be a good American.

So what are the goals of the Trump White House for the greatest military in the world? A military with mandatory service for two years with minimal leadership, artificial intelligence as the Joint Chiefs, with no more 20 years retirement. As a matter of fact once Hegseth has completely dummied down the military the only soldier will be robots as they are the most reliable that take orders without question and never ask for a pay raise. Forget about the health care. 

Republican ideology about anything is demented as Trump. Trump has had a stroke. He has also had a heart attack. Trump’s ideologies are as misguided as his business ventures. Do we want our military to fail? Then throw the numbs out and make the Republican majority in Congress do their jobs. Currently, House and Senate leaders have forgotten how to negotiate. It isn’t as though the Democrats have forgotten and are seeking noble changes to the continuing resolution; it’s just that no one else is sitting down to get the job done. 

What is the answer to this? 

Think about it.

Stop playing online gambling.

Instead feel good about where your money will do the greatest good.

Give the money to your candidates runnng for office.

Hegseth is committing a severe national security breach.

(Click here)

The first breach is placing all the Top Brass in one room at the same meeting.

The next security breach is attempting to impose his civilian ideology on our military. 

The next national security breach is even thinking about removing or demoting generals in the field. 

(Click here) 

Hegseth and Trump are civilian with inappropriate civilian leanings and priorities and need to be sued personally and the USA military as well as the members of the USA Congress that are acting irresponsible toward the national security of this country. 

Sitting on their laurels watching the parade go by is insubordination to the USA Constitution. All these massive changes require legislation not the whims of political ideologues. 

Trump wants to replace human beings with computer programs so he can determine life and death from the Resolute Desk. All Trump needs are Starlink satellites.
