Mt. Rushmore

        President Donald J. Trump has always thought of himself as one of America’s greatest men. His father or someone else he greatly respected probably told him so. He lied, cheated, or bought his way to where he is today. Even as President he cons people into buying his company stock or soon his private crypto currency saving all the money to his family company.

            He believes, and his sycophants tell him, he is the best President ever. They have even talked about Mt. Rushmore again. They compare him to some of history’s greatest men to curry even more favor.

            He is using Wilson’s and Roosevelt’s failed attempts to get Greenland so if he can coerce the people of Greenland into becoming an American State, he will be greater than both of them. He says he doesn’t want to use force but doesn’t rule it out.

            With Panama, a few ultra conservatives thought we should have overridden the lease termination and kept it. He is going to use every threat to get it or as a last resort force. The act, which may will lead to war, and probably the loss of the canal, as well as the last of our few remaining friends. The canal is easily put out of operation.

            Annexing Canada is an old, old dream by a few people but doing so, Trump thinks would make him the greatest ever. History seems to define the greatest presidents as ones that won a war or acquired more area. Some of those Presidents are Jefferson’s Louisiana Purchase, Polk with the Oregon Territory and the Canadian Boundary, Tyler annexing Texas, and Polk goading Mexico into attacking to get the Southwest.

            Imagine Trump’s ego if he got the Canal, Greenland, and Canada, no matter what he did to make it happen.

Millions of Blind Mice

        How can so many Americans be so naive? During President Donald Trump’s first term he said he was going to build a wall across our Southern Border and tens of millions believed Mexico was going to pay for it. After a few years many saw it was a lie. That lie and many others was a part of his loss in his next election.

            Millions more were sucked into the vortex that the 2020 election was rigged even though his own people and their contractors could not find any fraud committed by Democrats. All the criminal offenses were committed by Trump’s own people as in Georgia and Arizona.

            Once the greatest American and perhaps the world’s greatest con man got into the brains of so many Americans he couldn’t help but suck money from them to buy junk. They thought the proceeds were going into his campaign as the usual practice but the money went into his pocket. Poor people were actually giving their money to a self-proclaimed billionaire.

            Today Trump is slapping tariffs on our friends and trading partners while telling Americans the other country is going to pay the tariff. The truth is the product comes into the country and the buyer must pay the tariff to get the product. The producer then passes the additional cost on to the American consumer. The producer pays nothing of the tariff so how can Trump still blind so many people?

            Elon Musk and others have followed Putin’s strategy of faking admiration to curry favor. Musk put up to a hundred million dollars to help Trump get elected so they could get the opportunity to destroy the agencies they had been fighting with on taxes and regulations. Musk just said he would donate another hundred to primary any Republican that stepped out of line. Oh, notice Musk is into cutting all agencies except NASA. Isn’t NASA where Musk gets his big money to run his Space X programs?       

Guidelines for Some

        Some of us break the law by going a few miles an hour over the speed limit or maybe forgetting to turn headlights on when its sprinkling., We know it is wrong to go through a red light or stop sign because it is a dangerous and definitely breaking the law, just like driving 70 in a 45 zone, or driving impaired. The average American is going to agree with what we might call a guideline and what is a law not to be violated without serious consequences.

            For a fast growing number of Americans the serious laws seem to have become guidelines which they feel do not apply to them. At least four people who were confirmed to be Supreme Court Justices lied during their hearings. Every year hundreds of local, state and federal official are convicted on a variety of crimes and usually given lighter sentences than the average American would get.

            Hundred of people committed insurrection on January 6, 2021 because their President told them to do it. President Donald Trump just pardoned them because “they did nothing wrong.” Thousands of Republicans were shocked at what happened for a few days or weeks before toeing the line put out by a lying ex-President.

            We have never had a President who strayed so far from the normal Presidential behavior. We have never had a President whose ego is so great he thinks the laws don’t apply to him. Trump’s scams include selling boots, Bibles, and other items to fund his election when it actually went into his pocket or the cyber currency that goes to the Trump family entity which he oversees. The cyber currency is definitely illegal for him to sell.

            The Constitution in his mind is a series of guidelines which he can violate as he wishes. He has already decided the Fourteenth Amendment is not applicable today. Does he think the Twenty-second Amendment doesn’t apply to him? His dictator friends are his idols and his rabid supporters would agree.

Illegal Order

        In today’s political climate the first order we think about is President Donald Trump’s order to send the gang members to an El Salvador Prison. A judge said to stop but the flights continued in spite of the court order. That is a minor but first stop in defiance of the laws of our country.

            The illegal order I am worried about isn’t a civil or criminal order that concerns me, it’s the ones he gives to his hand-picked leaders of our country’s military. Yesterday he hinted he could take Canada or Greenland when he wanted. As a student of history, in particular World War II, I remember Adolf Hitler hand-picked the leaders of his general staff. The previous ones had advised against an aggressive military strategy where Germany would start the conflict.

            The German people and military had been told over and over that the Arian Race was the best and Germany was the greatest nation. It was Germany’s destiny to fulfill that destiny. During his last inaugural speech Trump talked about manifest destiny and the artificial border with Canada. He has said Greenland is closer to the United States than to its home country Denmark.

            The question is would our General Staff who swore an oath to our country say no? Would Trump replace them with Generals who would comply with his order to invade both places? We know his ego does not allow for dissension of his wishes and dreams. He has just said he is the leader of the world’s most powerful country and economy and he should be able to do what is best for America and the world. If the Congress and Courts can’t control him, will the Military?           

Stopping a Bully

        What do you do with bullies who only think more about themselves? What do you do about a fifth grade bully that takes the lunch money from third graders by threat of force? What can little kids do when the teachers and parents look the other way? The only way is for the third graders to band together and force him to act decently or face group responses.

            We know bullies in grade school continue their behavior into high school and start carrying lethal weapons. Profilers have found a large percentage of school bullies become criminals with guns because they weren’t stopped earlier when they could be changed.

            Today we have a President who thinks he is the World’s Bully and can do as he wishes since the Congress is scared of his verbal wrath. Currently it is just verbal because he has just gotten control of the Justice Department and the military. Trump has stated repeatedly he will go after anyone opposing him with the F.B.I.

            He has threatened Canada and Mexico with tariffs, taking Greenland by however needed, and retaking the Panama Canal. If I were the leader of one of those countries I would band together all those countries he has already threatened and those he has said he will discipline to curb his bullying.

            Canada and Mexico should move all customs and Immigration people away from the U.S. Borders and put an export tax on all items crossing the border. Trudeau should put all American Military and civilians on buses back to America. Greenland should do the same thing and then put the bases up for sale. They would be worth tens of billions. Panama should stop all American Military ships from crossing and put a platoon on all American Flagged or owned ships transiting the canal. Each ship would be thoroughly searched for explosives. The rest of the world could simply stop buying bonds and threaten to sell the ones they now own. His billionaire friends would be scared, especially Musk.

            That is how a bully is stopped before he advances into military solutions to his threats. Remember, Hitler could have been stopped when he sent his little army to invade the Rhineland. Look what his bulling caused! True Americans must stop him.      

Saving Money

        The Federal Budget is 6.9 Trillion. President Donald Trump and his billionaire cohorts want to cut the spending. I have some ideas.

            Since the President is a multi-billionaire, or at least he says so, why am I paying for his life in The White House and his salary? He could easily afford to pay for the staff and food. He should pick up the tab for all those parties he likes to throw to impress himself. He always paid for his own plane and crew so he shouldn’t he pay for Air Force One and its flight crew? He should pay for his own medical costs like the people who voted for him must do. He had his own guards before he got Secret Service people for the rest of his life so shouldn’t he pay for them? As he keeps moving around we have to pay for all the security facilities and guards. I bet all that would save the tax payer over a billion dollars.

            Elon Musk doesn’t need to poke around Washington D.C. to cut money. He could simply tell NASA to cut all funding and people having to do with sending Astronauts to Mars. The human body can’t live in a zero gravity for very long and definitely not the years it will take to get to Mars, stay for a while, and get back. Hollywood isn’t making factual movies. That would save 100 to 500 Billion for each trip, plus a billion per ton in equipment and supplies.

            He will probably want to cut the auditors at the IRS so they can’t check his huge income statement. His and Trump’s firing those people checking their statements will mean they will get away from having to pay tens to hundreds of millions less. Remember President Trump’s first term and fights with the IRS. Will he and Musk get to pick the Auditors?

WIMP

        If you are into Physics then you know WIMP is short for Weak Interactive Massive Particle. It is part of the basic structure of everything. Few Americans have ever heard of WIMPs. Another meaning for WIMP is Weak In Moral Patriotism. We currently have a major political party which is a great example of being a WIMP in more ways than one.

            The WIMPy Republican members of Congress, both Representatives and Senators, have given up their constitutional role in government to allow the President and an unofficial group to take control of the Federal Government’s operation which Congress has funded.

            Why have they relinquished control? The main reason is their fear of losing their next primary election because of President Trump’s threats and Elon Musk’s money, along with his threat to use 100 million dollars against them. This is public extortion but don’t expect the Justice Department to act since Trump has complete control of the country’s Federal Justice Departments. Of course, the President can always pardon Musk for anything he or his group does.

            Congress’ problem is once they wimped out they don’t know how to get back moral patriotism they have expounded upon for the last few decades. Many know they have signed on to the egomaniac that thirsts for power and are cowed by his threats. Others not only want to stay in their office but want to increase their power. The newbies are just going along with what their leadership is telling them to do.            
A point of 1930’s German History is the Großdeutscher Reichstag thought they could control Hitler after they allowed him to be Chancellor, then President, and then Führer which was too late. It only took about 100 days. History has a habit of repeating itself, doesn’t it?

Cooling a Monstrous Ego

        President-Elect Donald Trump is throwing his weight around again by threatening other countries to do what he demands. If I was the leader of one of those threatened countries I would respond as follows: As the leader of Greenland, I would close the American Base. If they didn’t leave immediately I would block the roads to it, shut off utilities, anything else to ensure all Americans leave. I would then ask other NATO countries to move their people to the base.

            If I was the President of Panama I would declare the canal a demilitarized zone and move all non-Panamanians out of the zone, put a platoon of troops in the wheel house with the Panamanian guide on every American ship wishing to use the canal. As a demilitarized zone I would stop all military ships from passing through it.

            If I was the Prime Minister of Canada, I would arrest American Fisherman using Canadian waters on both coasts, close the Wellington Locks to all American ships, put a tariff on all items crossing into Canada, close all American bases, and anything else we could dream up. It’s his trade agreement he wants to stop.

            Since many of the Southern refineries are set up for the thick oil from Venezuela, as leader, I would have all the oil delivered to another country in spite of sanctions.                                          

            If I were the President of Mexico I would close the Border to all items coming from the United States since Trump is trying to violate the trade agreement he forced on Mexico and Canada.

           All of Trumps’ life he has made demands; people and companies have ultimately complied so he thinks as leader of the most powerful country he can tell other countries to obey. Maybe these countries could cause his followers to see him for what he is and do what is right for the United States and not Donald Trump’s Ego!

The Future Is Dark

        Here is what could happen if Trump fulfills his campaign Promises. He has promised to send all illegal immigrants back to their own countries. He has promised to override the trade treaties. He negotiated with Mexico and Canada by instituting twenty-five percent tariffs on all items crossing the borders. He promised at various times to put a fifty to hundred percent tariff on everything from China. The people he has proposed for his Secretaries have stated their goals to destroy not only their own departments but the public land. He has promised to restrict voting rights. He has promised to allow unrestricted drilling rights on public lands. He has promised to do away with the Education Department and reduce the IRS personnel. His close advisors want to put the Social Security funds in crypto currency and the stock market while changing the terms for retirement.

            Imagine if President Donald Trump sent all the illegal immigrants back home. Several years ago a law was passed causing farmers to hire illegals to go to jail. Two years later they cancelled the law because crops of fruit and vegetables rotted in the fields. The INS raided a meat packing plant and it closed the next month. Many landscapers and home builders would close. They are the majority of Home Builders in California which needs them now more than ever before.

            The Federal Reserve has said the tariffs would reduce the economy by at least a point and raise the inflation rate to at least 9%.

            Eliminating the Education Department means many states will go back to the 1950s systems and laws on what can and cannot be taught.

            The plan to restrict voting rights will allow many states to keep millions from voting. Instead of his claims of hundreds of thousands of questionable ballots in 2020, less than 2000 were bad. Many of those were wrong poll or by mistake in a law.

            Imagine drilling rigs and pipelines in designated monuments, parks, and reserves.

            Imagine the Federal Budget not being responsible for the Social Security Payments. Some private company might invest your contribution in highly volatile things like the thin air of crypto currency and its makers.

            While imagining the Trump Future, remember he is trying to put RFK into the position to do away with vaccines. We all know the stupid things Trump told people to take to avoid Covid causing thousands to die by getting Covid or dying from the poisons.

            In today’s world being a pervert or a crook seems to be a badge of honor. Running the Federal Government of the richest, most powerful country is still the reason for the biggest con in History.

Power Behind the Throne

        Most Kings and Queens in history were guided by one or two people because the Royals needed help. Today American Presidents often have help in making decisions and someone to carry out those ideas. Vice-President Dick Cheney is the best example of someone guiding an American President. It took six years for President Bush to see he was just a pawn and put Cheney on the back burner.

            Today we have a similar situation with Elon R. Musk starting to guide Donald Trump. During Trump’s first term he was erratic and changed his direction often. He even changed it more than once in a single day. His Vice-President for the upcoming term is definitely not the solid advisor Trump needs. Trump appears to have been taken by the richest person in the World. Trump’s ego is overshadowed by Elon Musk’s huge shadow. Musk’s wealth is based on his being able to influence smart people to work for him and to overwhelm others with his personality and wealth. Trump likes to be near him and almost worships him.

            Since Elon Must was not born in this country, the Constitution prohibits him from being President so controlling Trump is as close as he can come to becoming the top dog. His overpowering ego is boundless allowing him to get Trump to do as he directs. His influence with the leaders of other countries, including China, makes him close to being the person an alien would want to see after asking “Take me to your leader.” Can he run Tesla and control Trump at the same time? Trump’s tariff plans work around Tesla while hurting the “Big Three” and others. When Foreign Leaders want to discuss something do they go to Musk first? We will see!
