        During President Donald Trump’s first term he was friendly with China’s Xi, North Korea’s Kim, and Russia’s Putin while being irritating and nasty to our allies around the world. Why? I have never heard a good answer from anybody in the White House during his first term or any of his other people since.

            So far in his second term he has played to the far right wing parties in France, Germany, Poland, and others. He repeated every lie Putin has said about the Ukraine and has kept the NATO countries which has supported Ukraine from being involved in trying to create a solution.

            A few Days ago it was announced United States, Russia, and North Korea had voted against a declaration saying Russia was the aggressor. Immediately after Putin said Ukraine’s President was a Dictator. Trump repeated it.

            We know that Trump tried to do business in Moscow but was unable and hurriedly left. One story was he had been involved with an expensive prostitute who was the object of some lurid and disgusting things. Does Putin have videos?

            The CIA, FBI, and European Agencies say Russia was involved in Trump’s win in 2016 and were even more so in 2024 campaign. Putin’s cyber teams were so involved in Poland’s election they had to do another. The United States cyber security people said Russia was blasting the internet’s social sites with lies supporting Trump. People believed and Putin’s puppet got elected. Why does Putin have control over Trump? Think about it and why Musk has so much power to destroy our Security Agencies and USAID Department? Putin clapped when he was told about USAID. Tesla has no involvement in Russia so will this open the doors for Musk and Trump? Was Trump co-opted by the KGB in the 1980’s as two Former Russians have said?

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! 

History Lesson

        As a student of History, let me give the reader a bit of history to compare with another time. When Adolph Hitler became leader of Germany he put people into positions of authority solely on their sworn loyalty to him. Several were sexual perverts and criminals. He picked out an ethnic group and called them subhuman and a religious group calling them the reason Germany was suffering.

            Hitler curried favor and a sense of loyalty from the major industrialists by talking about his plans to build a new Germany. He told them of his plans to build new highways and rebuild the military. They would employ millions of good German workers while making millions for them. They built the Autobahn so troops and supplies could be moved back and forth quickly and built new factories and foundries to make equipment.

            His appointment of Joseph Goebbels to make sure the people heard and read only what they should know, no matter how much of it was fabricated. By using the Federal Police powers, the Media either followed the directed line or were met with jail, concentration camp, or murdered. Remember the motto, “If you say it often enough people will believe it.”  Of course, if a German didn’t believe it, jail awaited or worse.

            Hitler’s power over the Generals required personal loyalty or shunted aside into retirement. Soon all new recruits had to swear allegiance to him and not to Germany. The promises of a new and more powerful Germany kept them loyal even as he interfered with planning often causing disasters.             Hitler and Germany can be replaced by Putin and Russia. Can the reader see another leader who demands loyalty from appointees with poor character to positions of power? Several are crooks and sexual perverts. Few if any have any experience or skill in management. Who could it be? Will the people see what is coming or wait as happened in Germany and Russia?

Could This Be Our Last Vote?

        As a student of History, I have studied dictators who have ruled over the millennia usually to the detriment of their citizens. Two twentieth Century dictators who died before most of today’s Americans were born are Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini. The Germans and the Italians were extremely adept at gaining people’s confidence and loyalty; they both were originally elected and put their loyalist followers into offices that would control the people.

            Hitler unlike Mussolini used his first group of followers to harass the German Jews who he had designated as the reason the Axis Powers lost World War One and caused thousands of percent inflation. When the Brown Shirts became a political detriment he had his new follower’s, the Black Shirts, kill off the leaders of the original group. He bought the leaders of the new group with important government posts and the industrialists with special advantages and contracts. He got rid of or put in meaningless duties generals who he thought wouldn’t blindly obey his. The other officers and all men in uniform swore loyalty to him and him alone.

            The majority of Germans were so duped into believing Hitler took complete control of all three branches of the government. He put loyalists in the courts, in the legislature, and in the federal police and the newly created the Gestapo. Hitler had anyone creating problems killed or put into concentration camps.

            Vladimir Putin has done exactly the same thing in this century. Putin though was trained by the KGB on how to manipulate people and how to get narcissists and egoists to do as KGB agents want.

            Can you think if anyone who is following Hitler’s methods today? Who will have control of all three branches and majority of the State Governments?? Look up what it takes to eliminate the XXII Amendment!

This Really Smells Bad

        Sometimes, putting two and two together, we get five or even more. Let’s see what number all this adds up to when we put what we know together for sure.

            One, the Trump organization tried to put a hotel with his name on it in Moscow and the deal didn’t go through. We don’t know why. Did Putin want too big a price like he gets from everyone else or does he know something we don’t?

            Two, we know there was collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian intelligence in 2015 but not enough proof to indict anyone. We know they hacked into the Democratic Party’s files, plans, and e-mails and gave them to Trump’s campaign.

            Three, we know Trump met with two high level Russian Diplomats with only an interpreter present in the White House. The law requires notes of such meetings so the interpreter’s notes were edited and then approved by President Trump himself. This was about two years after Putin’s pick for the Ukrainian President was kicked out and the Pro-Western Zelensky installed. The Russian supported rebels and Russians undercover troops took the Easternmost Provinces and landed troops in the Crimea. Trump withheld help that the Ukraine needed and which might have kept Putin from his attempt to capture Kiev. Trump gave Putin’s lie that it was governed by Nazis.

            Four, The Russian Media has been found to be flooding the social media with lies about anyone or organization against Trump and putting out many lies in his support.

            Five, Elon Musk is suddenly putting tens of millions into a PAC supporting Trump and going to his rallies after he met several times with Putin and other Russians. What was discussed neither side will say. Both sides now say their people were wrong and the discussions never happened.

            Six, we know that several American companies are still operating in Russia and/or buying Russian oil and fuel which was refined in India. These companies contribute to the Trump PACS.

            So two and two has added up to six and how many more points I don’t know since most of this is kept secret. The American Government and NATO have named Russia as an enemy and Putin has arrest warrants against him so he must be very careful on leaving Russia or being arrested. NATO is standing with America on supplying weapons to the Ukraine and Trump wants to withdraw from NATO. Putin’s cyber teams have been supporting Trump’s views on our pulling out of NATO and stopping help to Ukraine.

            President Trump’s state and security people have said they don’t think he should be President again. Maybe it doesn’t just smell, maybe it is a terrible stink!
