Ok, I borrowed this statement from a picketer’s sign as reported by Rachel Maddow. In our current crisis, it is a sadly clever reminder of George Floyd’s tragic end of life experience. Since the Orange Wanker suggested that California could contain its wild fires by raking the forest, seems like non Democratic States have had wild fire catastrophe’s. I enjoyed a recent meme of Smokey the Bear—“Only you can prevent Donald Trump”. I also liked a clever play on the fire reminder, “only you can prevent serial liars”.
Consider that Hegseth ordered the Naval Academy to eliminate any books that support DEI principals including race, gender or systematic oppression. The list ended up near 400 books, it was not stated whether Martin Luther King, Jackie Robinson, or Einstein on Race and Racism are still in the stacks. Thank you Senator Cory Booker for moving Strom Thurman out of the record book.
The last few weeks have proven the ineptitude of our much of our current Leadership in Washington. The signal chat scandal comes to mind but pretty much anything spoken by Peter Navarro and Howard Lutnick is non sense. Remember Peter spent time in jail and was the genius behind the failed January 6 coup and the ill fated Green Bay sweep elector fraud. Really, he is in charge?
I am very tired of hearing how all of the rest of the world has cheated us with their trade practices. I know, if they would just say they are sorry or bend a knee we could forgive them. I am equally exhausted by the idea that Canada, Greenland, and Panama should be part of our newly dysfunctional country. It is truly ‘tariff-fying” (Colbert) to consider that the ‘Orange Shitler’ would use our military to capture Greenland.
Way to go United States citizens. Peaceful protests are sending a clear message, we want our elected representatives to restore a balance of power in our country. Join the Boise protest on April 5, ‘hands off our bodies, hands off our rights’. Marches are planned in all 50 states. The U S Senate voted 51-48 to end the Canadian tariffs. Thank you four brave Republican Senators!! A similar bill in the House is being blocked by Mike Johnson, no surprise he is all in MAGA, even if it destroys the economic prosperity and reputation of our great country. The President would have to sign it—not likely—then we have a good gauge of who is willing to honor their pledge to protect our democracy.
Not sleeping at night—join the club. Over 275,000 jobs lost last month, mostly related to the Government layoffs. Tariff plans drove the Dow down 1400 points in one day. and more pain today. The fourteen state measle’s outbreak is affecting younger American’s and 40% are requiring hospitalization. No, Vitamin A and cod liver oil are not a cure, in fact high doses of the vitamin are linked to liver damage. The cuts to the CDC, FDA, NIH are life threatening for our entire country. No, ivermectin is not a cure for Covid but if you have worms, maybe. 🤔
I remain optimistic and committed to stay involved. This week my inspiration to focus on the future is my granddaughter, Clio turned 8 on April fools day. She is a taekwondo expert and we may need her skills to defend our freedom. Join me in wishing her a happy birthday and fighting to protect her future. Hope you can find the strength to have a tarif-ic day. Mike
