       This is the current term for something that has been going on for over 160 years. President Lincoln and General U. S. Grant enlisted thousands of black former slaves and free men into the infantry to fight. Black companies were kept into World War I where General Pershing put a few thousand black troops into the French army command. During World War II most black troops were used in transportation, construction and other non-fighting duties. One group was trained in Tuskegee to be fighter pilots and distinguished themselves. President Harry Truman integrated the military with plans for it to carry over into the civilian sector.

            President John Kennedy took another step with the integration of Southern Universities. President Lyndon Johnson continued the efforts with several civil rights laws which cost the Democratic Party the Southern States. Democratic Presidents and lawmakers have continued the policies in spite of resistance from many Republicans.

            Diversity Equality Inclusion also means bring women into the formerly male occupation and management. In the last couple of decades women have become CEOs, Generals, News Anchors, and many other professions at a salary approaching equality.

            Although President Donald Trump says he is against DEI, look at all the crony women he has put in office. Bondi and others are incompetent but pretty. That is what counts with him.      

What is the Truth?

        Throughout history there has been an overlooked question and this is “What effect did lies have on events?”  Many wars have started because of a lie. Perhaps the person with the most expertise was Adolph Hitler’s Reich Minister for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels. For twelve years he told one lie after another and for most of those years most Germans believed them. He may have originated the term the “Big Lie”. He said a lie becomes more believable the more often it is repeated. Today in our country that practice is being repeated almost every day.

            The obvious question is how now and then can people “Believe” something they should know is a lie? President Donald Trump has told tens of thousands of subtle to the most outrageous lies. The most outrageous one is the one started by his boosters in the Oval Office when the results of the 2020 Presidential election were known. He couldn’t have lost so there must have been fraud. He latched on to it and told the lie thousands of times and may now actually believe it. After all the recounts by his supporters, he still tells the lie and millions of people believe it with hundreds of office holders repeating it.

            Today, President Trump listed several newspapers and television channels as liars because they were telling the truth against his lies. He will continue to harass the media for telling the truth. Remember the “Big Lie” requires repeating the lie to make it believable. The Media, however, moves on to another truth allowing the “Big Lies” to win over millions of gullible people.   

            The answer to the question is: the truth is a lie when it conflicts with a leader’s lie.

Trump’s Bridge

        President Donald J. Trump just stopped the opening of a new toll bridge from Detroit to Canada because Canada didn’t use American steel or workers and Canada would, own the bridge and land on both ends. Trump said all the tolls would go to Canada but bridge was built with U.S. Taxes.

            Again it is all a lie. It is co-owned by U.S. and Canada, it is U.S. Steels beams, built on our side and Canadian their side. Canada has their end and Americans our side. Tolls go to pay off bonds to build it which is mostly to American bond companies and banks.

            So, why the sudden change of attitude for a bridge he hailed in his first term? Could it be one of crony friends paid into his directed shelters (pockets) and now wants it stopped because his group owns the other toll bridge and this new bridge would greatly reduce his income? We already know Trump goes where he is getting his money and it’s not that pittance of $400,000 in what we pay him to just be our President.

            Another example  – his meeting with oil and coal CEOs where he told them what he would do if they put a billion into his campaigns before the 2024 election. They did and he is repaying them with fewer regulations and drilling where they want. Shutting down a bridge opening is easy for a few hundred thousand between friends.

            The Pentagon just contracted with four drone companies to test drones. Three are well known but the fourth isn’t. Guess which one his sons is part owner of.

Different Personalities

        I have often compared Adolf Hitler to Donald Trump for good reasons. Trump’s behavior and actions follow the guidebook of Hitler. But I have realized one big difference and that is Basic Personalities.

            Adolph Hitler was an Austrian who saw himself as a German. He was in World War I fighting for Germany and felt betrayed by the elites in German government forcing the Kaiser to surrender. The resulting national punishments further made him more patriotic to Germany and its people. That’s the difference between the two men. One is the people first and the other is Trump first, family second, and people third.        

            Everything Hitler did was to help Germany to regain what he thought was its rightful place in Europe for a thousand years. He was poor and as the Furor he still led a basic life and only put on the “Great One” personality when necessary to promote his goals for Germany. While he “owned” the Nazi party he didn’t participate in enriching himself as his appointees did. Wealth and power were their driving ambitions which allowed some to make life miserable and deadly for many ethnics and cultures.

            We don’t know if Hitler had some conflict with a Jew at some time or was the “Hatred” just the belief of the poor people that all of Germany’s economic and political problems was the Jew’s fault. Since all Europeans are the same color, the Jews facial features, dress, and names were the way of separating them from other Europeans.

            Adolf Hitler truly loved Germany and everything he did was to advance Germany and not himself. Donald Trump was born rich and believes everything he does is to enrich him and increase his already stellar ego. Both fell to the need for greater power to the detriment of their people and country.

The Tail That Moves Us

        Today’s geopolitical situation in the mid-East reminds me of my dog. Tina is a golden doodle. That is a cross between a poodle and a golden retriever. She weighs about 55 pounds and has a heavy tail, so when she gets excited her tail wags hard making her body rock back and forth.

            Have you figured out what I am comparing Tina’s tail to yet? There is and was no good and immediate reason for the United States to get involved with the two attacks on Iran. Trump broke the deal with Iran in his first term on how high could their Uranium could be enriched and inspected, so inspectors could keep track of and test. Iran was complying but Trump broke it at the directions of Israel’s Netanyahu. This caused Iran to break the agreement and enrich their uranium to 60% from 35%.

            In Trump’s second year, Netanyahu talked Trump into bombing the underground facilities. Trump says he destroyed everything forever so the second war was unnecessary, – right? After another meeting with Netanyahu we suddenly attacked the leadership which decapitation of leaders has been illegal for decades. We are also literally flattening the entire country killing thousands. Everything is based on the Israeli intelligence agents. Those same people persuaded Clinton into bombing a pharmaceutical factory and Neta Chemical Weapons Factory in Sudan in 1998.

            Israel has been wagging our tail for years getting us involved in the wars that Israel starts and expects us to protect and supply them with planes and thousands of bombs, rockets and weapons. The Shia will now make us a real enemy instead of just a chant!

            The only “Greater Good” is the destruction of the drone factories that supplied Russia with drones to hit Ukraine.

Alexander’s Prophecy

        Alexander Hamilton on August 18, 1792, wrote to George Washington a letter warning of a Demagogue who could “mount the Hobby Horse of Popularity” to create chaos in America and its political divisions.

            Hamilton said such a person would be unprincipled, desperate, and instead of standing for liberty, would actually create a chaotic tyranny. How could Hamilton foresee 233 years ago what we have today in the White House? The only things he left out were such a monstrous ego and paranoia. Perhaps he didn’t know those words.

            Other phrases Hamilton used in the letter was “Bold in his temper”,  “despotic in his ordinary demeanor”, and “flatter and fall in with the nonsense of the zealots of the day”. Sound familiar?

            Another phrase was such a person would “throw things into confusion” for personal power. This last phrase is in the public record of the 2019 impeachment trial. All the other phrases should have been quoted repeatedly in 2024 so voters could realize the con job that was being played on them.

The Real Quantum Story

        If all works out as planned the new Quantum Campus will make tremendous changes for a several square mile area. Some changes will be undesirable for the current residents, but some will be good. The one thing we all know for sure is the area will never be the same again.

            Hundreds then thousands of people will be needed to build out the campus and its area infra-structure. Major streets and utilities will need to be upgraded to support the permanent thousands of people not living in the area. Additional public transportation will be needed. The campus will require three shifts so traffic will be much heavier all hours.

The local economy will boom with the increases in local jobs at the campus and businesses supporting it. The unfortunate side affect will be gentrification. Rehabbers will buy up older buildings and others fix them up or tear them down, building new ones. New people will move in displacing those who may have lived there all their lives or those who can’t afford the higher rents. As property values raise so will real estate taxes even with the millions the companies will pay.

            Hundreds people will move into the area that will be making high wages. Locals who don’t work on the campus will find jobs with new businesses and expanding current businesses.

            The area can look forward to much increased Police presence so area’s crime rates will be as near zero as possible. The area schools can expect more diversity and probably better schools and educators in them.                   

Overall, some people won’t be happy but the vast majority will adjust and be happier.

June 20th 2027

June 20, 2027 is an important date for felon Donald J. Trump. That is the last day he can be indicted for the additional felony of having his attorney certify he had no Presidential documents.

          Since the felony was committed when he was not President it only requires for the warrant to be issued. The rest of the proceedings can be done in January 2029 when he is out of office. Unless the evidence is “lost” in the meantime, it is an open and shut case. The penalty could be up to five years.

          August 8, 2027 is a connected date, because that is when the FBI recovered 102 documents he had hidden after signing a document he didn’t have them. Keeping those documents is a felony under U.S.C. 1924 with a penalty of up to five years also.

          I am sure Trump lives in fear that some Federal Judge will issue the warrant awaiting January 21, 2027 for a personal service of the warrant. Of course he could hide in a country without extradition like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, or Dubai. We know how close of a relationship he has developed with those Leaders-For-Life!

Interesting Observation

18 Sunday Jan 2026

Posted by in Constitutional Changes, Dictatorships, President Trump

≈ Leave a comment

Here is an interesting observation of History and a possible future for the United States. Vladimir Putin was President of Russia in 2000 to 2008 with Dmitry Medvedev his Vice-President. The Russian Constitution prohibited him from a third time. He made sure his Vice-President was elected to follow him for his prescribed legal time. Putin then got back in power with a changed Constitution: President remains in power for life.

            Here we have a President believing he should be President for the rest of his life. If he is unable to get the Constitution changed in the remaining three years, will his followers put J.D. Vance in to succeed him? Barring a neural collapse or being jailed Trump could possibly live through a Vance Presidency controlled by him.

            Trump thinks of himself as being on the same level as a Putin or Xi who have total power and able to be dictator for the rest of their life. When he has the total control of the nation’s legal system and control of the nation’s legislative body, and an apparent strong influence over the Supreme Court he is basically a Dictator now.

            Putin is one of the world’s richest people through his power. Trump has done much of the same thing through his sleight of hand by putting things into his trusts and companies which benefit him. This has made billions for him and his family.  

Mythomania

Mythomania is a psychological term for a habitual liar. It is a pathological defect causing a chronic behavior that is characterized by habitual lying and is consistent with dishonesty.

Another word for it is pseudologia fantastica. Both are a form of mental illness which causes the liar to seek ever increasing amounts of attention. With many people it is caused by low self-esteem, insecurity, social anxiety, or unresolved childhood abuse. If it is caused by a brain injury or dementia it could be the person could seem charming and even charismatic to cover their psychological pain. In other words they lie to make themselves more important.

Another aspect of this disorder is to lash out verbally or physically at anyone who punctures that aura of invincibility and superiority. They simply lie to make themselves more important and must lie more to cover previous lies.

As a person of this mental defect grows older more examinations are preformed to track its progression. Soon they will live in their own reality and their charisma draws others into their reality and lashing out at others becomes a constant need to keep their own fantasy.

The world knows of someone who has all the above behaviors and is worried about its rapid progression. World leaders know they must buy and curry favor to keep from being the object of his verbal abuse and tariffs. When such a person has one of the world’s most powerful militaries nobody knows what could happen.
