Stop Censuring Tv and The News


The Republicans, and MAGA Base of Trump’s is going too far, in censuring TV Shows and Late Night TV. They get Stephen Colbert pulled and cancelled because they don’t like his political opinions and jokes. Now they kill Jimmy Kimmel’s show over jokes about Charlie Kirk’s death? Let me say this clear and loud. The United States People have a right to Freedom of Speech, wheither it is on tv or on it’s streets. We are guaranteed that right, period. You don’t like what people say, you have no legal right to stop their livlyhood and show from being in the tv airwaves. You can object to what is being said if you wish, but, to take the shows off the air is pure political censure ship period and wrong.

Charlie Kirk was a political Activist and speaker only. He was not an elected politician, he did not for America, except incite the MAGA platform and people following Trump. He doesn’t deserve a MEdal of Freedom or a state Funeral. His death and Assasination is wrong true, and I agree it should never have happened, no one deserves what happened. But, stop trying to blame the Democrats or the Republicans for one lone nut shooter! It’s wrong!

Lets discuss the anger comming from the Republican side, yes the MAGA side of it. Scott Jennings, who is a political commentator on CNN, is constantly more angry daily, attacking liberals and democrats of all natures and kinds. He has gone in my mind from a political commentator who I once respected to an idealouge and die hard MAGA Supporter who is pushing rhetoric he should not push. You can aggree to disagree yes, you can state your opinion, on either side folks, but when you start backing removing shows from the airwaves because they said something you don’t like, well you are going too far. I don’t care if your’re pulling Stephen Colbert, or Jimmy Kimmel, or whomever, over the television air waves, the name doesn’t matter, the act of shutting down Free Speech in America is wrong, period!

That said, lets get to the truth and get the Epstein Files released in full. Let’s find out the truth, why was Donald Trump one of Epstein’s best friends for 15 years? what about alll the photos of Trump holding 12 years old girls, and touching their thigh and more? I don’t care what the MAGA crowd says, or Trump says, photos don’t lie. In the end, america elected a 34 Times convicted felon tp the Presidency, threw caution to the wind in doing so and created an illegal climate in our governement. Whether he is a pedophile or not, should be proven eithe rby releasing the files, or in a court of Justice, and soon. What of the victims of these cromes? Don’t they deserve Justice? I think they do!

Let’s stop the angery rhetoric, lets stop the violence incenting, lets get to the truth now! Stop, people like Scott Jennings from coming on the air waves and attacking every democrat and every liberal he can to protect Trump and MAGA period. If you can stop Kimmel and Colbert, and say they are wrong and remove them for jokes and comments on Kirk’s death, then you should also remove Scott Jennings for his hate filled rants and attacking the Liberal and Democratic side too. As momma once told me as a boy, always remember, what is good for the goose is good for the gander too. Let’s treat both side equal here. Lets be realistic and honest, Jennings needs to tone his rhetoric down, his anger down and back off or he should not be on CNN or any other news channel as a commentator unless, he does. He should stop inciting violence and anger, we don’t need it anymore.

Let me close with this statement today! I write poems, I write stories and I write these blogs of all different subjects too. There is no need to sue the New York Times, fo rtheir reporting, of Trump’s misdeeds or crimes. Trump knows it too, he is doing it, only to hurt the Times, a respected Newspaper and news source. He has attack many news sources and it is wrong. If you think, they reported the Epstein case wrong and your President, and can prove they are wrong, relase the files? bring the full Epstein files out to the public and prove you are innocent! Lets go!

I stand by the Constition and our Bills of Rights. We the People have the right to Freedom of Speech, just as much right as any President, Senator or Congressman or Politician in American. stop, killing TV SHows,and Magazines and Newspapers or Tv News Stations, because you don’t like what they say or write. we have a right to speak, it guaranteed unde rour RIghts. You don’t like it and can prove slander or predijuce or discrimination, then do so in court. Period. Freedom of Speech is vital to healthy nation and democracy folks.

Whats next America?


There comes a time. for all to realize, some things in America today. So, as a blogger, a single senior male, who is a widower, I look for ways to wake the American spirit I once knew growing up.

I was born in the 1950’s, and grew up in the 1960’s amd 1970’s. we had schools that taught, cars that worked an dprotected you, because they were made of steel. We had the best darn music too, with Aerosmith, Deep Purple, The Doobie Brothers, and all the Motown groups and artists. Movies were made to entertain, not shock, and not show how to kill. What happened to our world folks?

People had jobs and factories were everywhere. Work was plenty and prices were low, on gas, utilities and homes. We actually had the best years when I was young for sure. we found friends at parks and in schools. We kept the friends we had too. Some we have lost that is true and some moved on like me and you. Yet, some stayed and will never go away, we keep in touch is all I can say.

What happened to the peaceful streets of small towns and cities. What happened to peaceful protests, of the days of Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy? What happened to Presidents who had logic and common sense and morals and ethics? Where did our good Senators and Representatives go? You know the ones that would fight for our benefits, our rights, or freedoms! Where are you now, when we need you most?

Our streets and news filled with violence and shootings. Prices rising steadily, people hungry asking for food, homelessness rising, and hate mongers preaching and getting people more riled up than ever before. What happened folks, where did we go wrong? In my lifetime, I was born under Eisenhowser folks, he warned of the military, he warned of Russia. Kennedy came in and it began with his assasination, the bullets took over. But, at least it stayed stable for a while under Johnson and Nixon, of course there was Watergate too. what happened folks, where did the corruption come in, the anger and hate that now shakes America to it’s core?

Now prices are high again, jobs are disappearing and the homelessness rises again. People are hungry folks, desperate once more, begging for help. The anger between the Political Parties has now boiled over to the full public, as republicans and democrats argue and fight it out, with threats, and some die from bullets once more. Why?

Isn’t there a way to debate and discuss anymore? Isn’t there any morals and ethics and beliefs to treat one another fairly anymore? Where did it go folks? Please tell me why I can’t turn on the news and not see someone was shot today, or someone robbed or killed someone today? Why, is so much anger and misery in America, the land of the free, that we call it? Is there ever going to be peace again?

Let me state a few things here. We are still a republic and a democracy at least right now. we still have a Constitution folks and our Bills of Rights. But, for how long is my question? Can we maintain it or will we lose it all? I have said it before, and I say it again here, Empires are built and they fall, will, America fall like the rest after all? Are we too greedy, too angry, too non-caring, like the others that fell before us? Is our moral and ethical basis disappearing, is America crumbling? It sure looks like it to me.

Our children go to school, shootings, education is disappearing because it is being shut down by our President and Governement. why? Voting is being questioned left and right, mail in voting they want to kill next. One by one, piece by piece America is being dismantled, when will it stop? Social Security under attack, Medicare, Medicaid too. We paid into Social Security to have something for retirememnt, now, who knows how long it shall last? Medical costs skyrocket each day, elderly people die because their insurance isn’t paid and they can’t afford it. Burials are crazy prices and funerals too. what is America becoming is my question folks, where is it heading to?

The laws of the land we live in are constantly under attack. The Supreme Court does not act, and it protects the President, no one else it seems. Thats what happens when you let one man pick the Judges and they owe him you see. It’s as plain as it gets to see. I wish to remind everyone, no President can serve three terms in office, it’s the law of the land. It changed for a reason, and it should remain that way.

Wars rage around the world now, and slowly but surely, America is being drawn into them. Ukraine battles for it’s existence, Gaza falls to Israel, yet, we watch in horror and do nothing. Russian drones fly into Nato countries and Nato does not react, what is Nato for then, if not for protection of it’s members? Please explain that one?

Look I am a man who served my country for 16 years. I gave up my time, my energy, my body to defend and protect, what I believed in and still do to this day. I am disabled and a Veteran, I am old now, we served volunteerily back then, now we can’t find men and women to serve, not anymore in the same spirit. This is not the America, the Founding Fathers brought forth, anymore. It has turned into a quasi-autocratic nation under one man, who wants to be king, and dictator in one. Sadly, no one is stopping him! Congress grovels at his feet and kisses his ass, and he just goes on doing as he wants with illegal Executive Orders, and breaks laws left and right. Why isn’t he being stopped or impeached? So many politicans who hated Trump originally all of a sudden turned around and now kiss up to him, why? What is he holding over these people? The fear of being primaried? Look folks, you, can run again if you wish, but you will not win the votes, if you don’t grow a set of balls and stand up for what is right! Thats my opinion anyway. The way I see it, the mid-terms will come soon enough, and by November 2026, more Republican and MAGA politicans wil be headed home. America can not and I believe will not allow, this to continue for too long. It’s a check and balance thing we have going for us. It must now, snap back into place very soon. If it doesn’t folks, do yourself a favor, get a copy of Babbel language programs and learn Russian, because we are headed there. And that my fellow Americans, is not what we want for sure!

My rant for today! When will Americans wake up?


Hard to believe, but, I really don’t have much to say this am here. I know I post blogs all the time on the dating scene for seniors, politics and even comments on the NFL! Yet, there comes a time when one, must just sit back and think things out, before engaging to write a blog.

From a political persepctive, I think America is in the largest trouble it has ever been in, since it’s inception and creation as a nation. Some don’t think so, but, I believe we are about to find out, very shortly. Prices are rising, food, rent, housing, gas, all up. Clothing up. Utilities are rising too as the electric companies charge more, heat and hot water rise also. Mortgage rates climb and more Americans can not afford to buy a home, so rents climb also.

If that isn’t enough folks, President Trump is laughed at on the world stage daily. Putin does as he wishes in Ukraine and ignores Trump period. Now Putin has drones flying into Poland, a member of Nato, what will Trump do now? Any ideas folks? Are we headed in to war and not realizing it? Maybe!

Well what else is in the news these days, that is interesting? Famous people pass away, movies come and go on the big screen, and people are more angry in America than I have ever seen. It’s a sad state of affairs for a country, that is supposed to be the world’s leading democracy and republic.

Our President wants to kill, mail in voting, kill elections and run for a third term, even though, it is against the Constitution and laws of our land. Deportations are happening and while I believe, illegal immigration is wrong and they must go, grabbing them off the streets without due process is just wrong, and I don’t care what Trump says or the supreme court.

Talking about the Supreme Court, did anyone else notice, since Trump appointed the majority of the Justices, they don’t stop him from doing anything, and they take his side in everything? I thought the Supreme Court was to be the protector of the laws and Constitution and the people, not one sided and bowing down to a President like he owns them. whats that all about folks?

Yes I am ranting I know, and some times one just has to do so. I have so many things to rant on it is crazy these days, it’s now become the American way. The Department of Education is slowly closing down, schools are suffering. What guidance will our children have to learn from now?

Medicare and Medicaid are under attack, Social Security is being examined and attacked also. What right does DOGE, Musk, or Trump have to your personal information? Why are they doing it all? Where is all this money being directed to, when it is shut off to lay off federal employees?

So many questions abound these days. it is crazy folks. Where does America go next and will we continue to be here in the future or will we be lost in time?

I said this before to all and I shall say it once more. In History, great societies have risen and fallen, many. Go back my friends and look, The Aztecs, The Incas, The American Indians, The Romans, The German Nazis and the Japaneese Empires. The Huns, The Vikings, even. All rose to positions of greatness at one time, then, they fell like a building of bricks, knocked over. Why? Greed of Power, thinking they were greater then everyone else, wanting control of everyone and the world. All worked to kill these empires and dynasties. Well, guess where America is headed folks, we are falling too, in our unigue and own way. Our economy is failing, under Trump, our Education System is going down, our social programs are dying and so are jobs. Unemployment levels rise, and people are hungry and homeless like never before in American History. Look closely folks, for in the end, it’s all true what I am saying, and what shall be left for your children and grandchildren and generations to come? Not, much at this rate. The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer and the middle class is aching and in trouble. These are things pointing to an Autocratic society folks. Dictators and Kings ran countries this way, till they were toppled is what I say.

America’s Forefathers, Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, and more, What would they say about Trump and the way America is today? Would Paul Revere just sit and watch us fall? The Consttitution and the Bill of Rights were written to prevent what is happening today. Yet, here it is in a nutshell folks, just what the Forefathers did not want and worked so hard to prevent. A autocratic and socialist and communist governement slowly taking over America. It’s sad really.

I know and still remember and all American’s should remember what Benjamin Franklin said after the Constitution was signed and approved. He said, ” We now have a Republic and Democracy, and we shall only have it as long as we protect and defend it!” Well it looks like in my opinion, we are losing it and Franklin was correct, it will disappear soon enough. I wish the Forefathers of America were here today, if so they would Tar and Feather Trump, tie him to a telephone pole and run him out of Washington, DC and the country!

Sadly, we don’t have the people with the guts and balls and heart to save this country anymore. Congress is now filled with weak willed, ass kissers, who Trump seems to have control over. He tells them, he will have them primared and run out of office if they go against him, and they run scared. They let Trump do what he wishes and bam, America falls another notch down the ladder, toward a third world nation. The House and The Senate are letting a 34 times convicted felon, the best friend to the biggest pedophile in American History destroy everything he touches. So as a Nation, America falls further and we the People have less freedom, less necessities, food, water, clothing and housing than ever before, and jobs disappear. It’s definitely a sad state of affairs Americans. So, where do we go from here and when will Americans wake up?

Trump and Epstein: Unraveling Their Controversial Connection


As the Epstein Case raises it’s ugly head on a daily basis, we can see the connection to President Trump. We see him in pictures with Epstein and the young girls. He denies it of course but in the end, he can not den=y the 15 year friendship with Epstien or that he is in the photos. So why isn’t Congress addressing this fully and impeaching President Trump?

The other question I have for all is a simple one, where were the parents of these thousands of girls, when all this was happening? Why didn’t they step up and ask where their daughters were and what was happening to them? I am the father of two daughters myself, if they disappeared and couldn’t be found I would be publically screaming from the rooftops, why, didn’t their parents?

The Last question I have for all is this, Why would Donald J. trump be friends with Jeffery Epstein for 15 years? Who is friends with a pedophile and sexual abuser like Epstein was, and not know it? If you ask me, Donald J. Trump has to be a pedophile just like Epstein was, for no one went to Epstein’s Island by plane 37 times, without knowing what was happening. No way, he could not have known.

One last point I wish to make, Maxwell was Epsteins’s girlfriend and assistant in this pedophile operation, and there are pictures of Donald J. Trump with her also. So, what was Donald J. trump doing with Maxwell and these young girls and with Epstein too? Can anyone explain that to me?

Why has no one moved to prosecute Donald J. trump and why is The President of the United States, moving Maxwell to a easier prison situation? She is a convicted sexual predator so who authorized her move? Was it Trump or a Trump Appointed Attorney General’s Office at Trump’s orders? If, so why did he authorize it? What did Maxwell do or say or give to The Assistant Attoney General to get this move and relocation to a easier prison? When do we get Answers America, does anyone know?

America at the Crossroads: The Urgent Call for Change


America, listen please. In our countries history, we have made mistakes, and recovered from them, over time. In the past we have had Presidents we did not approve of, we didn’t like what they did, and we corrected the course in the following elections, usually. What took place in the last election was a mistake beyond measure and is turning out to get worse day by day. As we lose benefits to help the elderly and ill, the children and education, and social security and medicare and medicaid get messed with and changed. We now, need to correct this course not starting in 2028 folks, but in the 2026 mid-term elections. As Tariffs imposed by Trump hit the world economy, prices of what we wear,eat, and need, go up and up. What I hear from Trump supporters is, give Trump time, he has this and he knows what he is doing. The Truth is he doesn’t folks, he is gambling with your financial security and future here.

The Stock Markets are now like a downward ride on a roller coaster, the prices of goods needed to live rise. Car prices are about to double and health care is ridiculous in prices, as Trump cuts back on Medicare and Medicaid. Seniors who depend on these programs to survive are losing the ability to pay for what they need and to stay alive. Then Trump is cutting employees from the Federal Governement at a rate that is just outragious and silly. Where do the people he has cut go now for jobs, the job market can not handle the influx of unemployed now. The jobs are not here.

While I honestly believe in the manufacturing industry and it ability to employ people, you have to have products to build to do so. We don’t have them folks, your not going to build many items we have in the past at cheaper prices then other countries do these days. How many Americans in today’s USA, really want to work in factories and manufacturing plants? Not many my fellow Americans, not unless it is to bolster a war economy we do not have currently. This belief by many that the industrial base of manufacturing will save America if Trump gets his way with his tariffs will work, is not a good one. Americans do not have the nose grinding mentallity of the 1950’s and 60’s anymore, they don’t want to work in factories, sweating and building items. Due to the phasing out of such jobs in the 1970’s and 1980’s, we have also lost the technical know how to do so, properly. We are lucky though that the car industry is still around but barely. Look across your country Americans, and see for yourself the number of manufacturing plants is way down, why because the price of the materials to build them is far too way up. we are in a cycle of a ying and yang that is bad for all America.

I think politicians are beggining to realize now, a little over 100 days into Trump’s second term in office, that, we are in a dire straights situation here. we are bordering on a recession, about to enter one, which at the rate we are going will lead to a second major depression in American history. If it happens folks, soup and bread lines wil be next. Homelessness will rise, people will be begging to survive once more, in what was once the most prosperous nation in the world. I agree we have to have advantages in the economy for America to survive, but tariffs are not the way to go. So, where do we go folks, what do we do next? How do we turn around, the downfall of america and it’s economic, political and international status again?

Well, first we must start within our own political world and status so to say. The mid-terms are ahead, and as we stumble, fall deeper into a recession, Americans will have to get off their asses, and go to the polls in the mid-term election and take back Congress first. We can not allow, one party to run all three branches of government in America. By, doing so, you have made Trump into a King, who thinks he can get away with anything and our Judicial Branch is now all of his party mostly too. So they protect and defend him, when he breaks the laws of our land and he has done so in many ways. Never in American hiostory have so many people been grabbed off the streets of America, and suddenly deported to other countries, without due process in a court of law. It’s illegal folks, you know it is and I know it is and so does Trump. He will keep doing so unles we the American People stop him. It is like a child is running the country, unless you reigen him in, punish him, direct him and make him do right he will continue to act like a spoiled child doing what he wants. We can’t allow it folks, changes must come fast. The Mid-term elections is where it must begin. The Consitution, was written to be run by two party system, not one party folks, and the last country run by a one party system was Germany before world wars happened. We can not have that happening and erupting in today’s world. We must change it back to a two or three party system if necessary and balance our system out once more for it to properly work. Otherwise, what wil occur is disatrous for all of us and the world too. I think many Americans are wrong in what they are allowing here.

Understand one thing folks, before you attack what I am saying. I defended this country, I served this country for 16 years, I gave my time and sevice and my body and soul. I also go hurt doing so, and I am a Disabled Veteran, who will defend this country till the day I can if I must. But, I do not believe America is on the right path following Trump now. and I do not believe in a one party system to run America it is destroying us. There has to be checks and balances, there must be the ability to balance it all, or else America is done.

I will say this, to all who listen, the above is my opinion today on the subjects affecting America, it’s economy, it’ medical well-being and it’s people. It is in my opinion, time for Americans to rise up and change what is happening, before we slide into a depression and a third world status. If we do not change it now, we shall be another Germany, that arrived under Hitler or a communist country soon. When one man, is given too much power and not guided, and stopped from doing what he wants, you get just that. Let’s not let it continue America, lets stop it fast now, the mid-term elections are coming, lets give the House and The Senate back to the Democrats in a balanced way. I am not saying totally, I am saying in an equal way, so that they have a say and we have a say into how far, our President can go. Without balance folks, our country teeters on the brink of collapse. Let’s bring it back from the brink, lets reign in Trump, lets, get the Justice System to work again on equal footing as it should, Lets save Social Security for our children and grandchildren, lets save medicare and medicaid and lower drug costs. and lets protect those who protected and defended and served our country and keep their benefits alive and them too. Don’t let the vital cogs in our countries wheels of proper ways disappear. Lets defend it now, lets get ready for the mid-term elections and lets put back into place the checks and balance system, our countries fore-fathers created.

Let me close with a thought for all Americans to consider, even if you disagree with me, it must be considered folks. America’s Fore-Fathers, Washington. Adams. Jefferson,Franklin, and more, what would they say of what Trump has done so far? My belief is they sacrificed, they gave their beings and souls to create this nation, they would rally, they would protest, they would fight tooth and nail to protect what they created. They would more then likely, if here, go to Washington, DC, if it were their time, and tar and feather Trump and carry him out of office to never be seen again. Like I said, this is my opinion and I have a right to say it, under my freedom of speech rights. You may not agree with it, but, I do. I only hope enough Americans wake up in time to save this country from it’s demise soon. If not, then like all the great empires of the world, we too shall burn out and disappear into history never to return. What would the Fore-Fathers of America, do and say in todays world folks?

The Economic Costs of Trump’s Policies: A Veteran’s Perspective


April 12th, 2025, Good Morning World. I awoke once more at 5 am here, and looked outside to see it has snowed some over night here, but a dusting is it, me thinks.

As America rolls toward a full out recession, which will for the first time in many decades, lead us into a depression, I wonder, did all the MAGA/ Trump Supporters ever think this would come? Probabaly, not is my thought now, but here we are. Trump’s fight with China is about to drag America dead into a depression folks. Trump’s tariff war, is a dangerous game to play. And while President Trump thinks it is the way to curtail China’s position, it is killing American’s 401ks, and much more.

Food prices rise, clothing cost more, more people are unemployed, and the rich just get richer right? Is that fair for the Lower class or middle class folks, do you like it now? How do you Trump Voters/ MAGA people feel now, as it starts to affect your income, your 401ks, and your everyday prices to feed, protect and home your families, now? I bet your all going ouch like the rest of us, aren’t you now?

Remember now, Trump has only been in Office since Janauary 2oth, 2025. If you think the markets tanking, and the economy is getting worse now, hang on. Trump doesn’t care about you folks, or your children or the elderly. He is killing The Department of Education, going after Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid too, just in a sneakier ways is all. He says one thing and does a another. He is caught on tape, talking about how much his buddies and cronies have made since he has tinkered with the markets and stocks and bonds. I remind all that, that is in and of itself criminal behavior. Sad indeed, and the world is watching and reacting also, to the failure of Trump and his so called leadership.

As a Senior Citizen myself who is 69 going on 70, I live off of my Social Security and my Veteran’s Disability check monthly. I can’t work, being disabled of course, and it is a struggle to survive these days. Trump doesn’t care folks, if he did he would leave Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and Veteran’s Benefits alone. If he cared he would react to lower food costs, clothing costs and stop his stupid tariff war he is doing. I hope at some point, it hits his wallet and bank accounts too. I wonder how Elon Musk feels now, that he has lost a good trillion to Trumps games? Musk’s Tesla company is tanking, and more. I wonder if Elon now, realizes Trump is full of shit! I am sure he can see it now!

Russia is murdering Ukraine, laughing at Trump and Putin is winning, why, cause Trump is isolating America from the world. The more isolated we are the less fortunite we are and will be. The World Markets, are weaker now, and so are we. I hope all the Trump/ Maga backers, will get hit just as hard as the rest of us have. If so, the Mid-Term Elections, will turn around fast and Congress will go Democrat. This one sided government was a mistake Americans, never should one political party have full control like this This only proves the Founding Fathers of America were correct, when they created the Senate and House. Checks and Balances are vital to our nation, and they need to be used once more to save it.

Being 69 going on 70, I have lived through, Eisenhowser, to Trump a second time around. While I am not a big fan, of many Republican Presidents, none have been so illiterrate, so uneducated and so vain as Trump. Add in his ineptness, and foolish bravado and you have a walking disaster folks. On top of all the financial turmoil he has caused and damage to our country, and we are in serious trouble now. We teeter on the brink of depression and total isolation, as our one time constant allies turn against us. Canada did nothing to us, Mexico is not all bad. Yet Trump attacks both nations attached to us. He attacks Europe folks, Germany, France and England are mad too now. I warn all, America is not an island that can survive without no one else. While China nd Russia are the most powerful enemies we have in the world currently, to fight them with tariff’s this way, is just a mess.

I can’t change what is happening to America folks, but, I can say this, I defended America, I represented America, I believe in America and served her for 16 years, before I was injuried. I am sad now that America is failing to realize, it must step up and stop the Trump Lunacy, and assine policies to survive. If Congress does not act soon, where will America end up on the world stage? We are now laughed at, and ignored. Whats next American’s, where do we go from here and does Congress allow the country to go to finanacial ruin and to be isolated and disrespected so much? If so, how do we recover now, unless Congress grows a set of balls, stands up to Trump and stops him, we are lost!

Why Dynasties Fall: Insights for Today’s Leaders


Many Empires, Dynasties and Nations have risen and fallen over the history of our world. You can start by The Dynasties of China, The Empires of The Aztecs, The Persians, the Japanese, and more, and even the Germans under Hitler. What killed each and everyone of them, including The Romans? Arrogance, the foolish idea that one person man or woman is God’s gift to the people these people they follow. Greed gets in the way, arrogance gets in the way, lust for power, and jealousy too. Each Empire, collapsed folks, some were overrun by others, but most fell because there was no want of change, or in some, no reason to want to change. Empires come and they go folks, the question this brings up is simple, how long can even the American Republic/ Democracy last? We are heading down a road, many nations and empires before ours have fallen on. Do we wish it to happen, is it destiny for America and it’s people and have we risen to a height we believe we can’t be pulled or knocked down from? I don’t believe that is the case with America, I think we have leveled off, and now can not maintain the status quo we set, and are beginning to crumble. Sadly, it is evident in our status in the world, our economy which is unstable and in the leaders we place in office these days. America has fallen to being gullible, yp being led by liars, thieves and con men, and worse of all a Convicted Felon! We have entered what I call the Twilight Zone, led into it by a convicted Felon and his array of rich cronies, who bought him the Presidency.

Like other leaders in the world, have found out, money buys power. Donald J. Trump brags of a mandate in the 2024 election there was no such mandate as he claims. Check the real numbers folks, please. If Harris had run from the start of the 2024 election cycle like Trump did, she would be your president coming into office today. Trump barely beat an opponent who only ran for 119 days, that should shock you all.

Let say this Trump has no mandate, he barely has control of the Congress by one or two seats. The check and balance system in America will keep him in check for his term. Of that I am certain. Where will he go with his plans? Well first he wishes to tackle immigration he claims. So how does a government find and round up the illegal aliens in our country to deport them and what procedures will he create? Where do you gather these illegal immigrants, how do you do it, do you make camps for them and how do you ship them out from our country? And what is the cost of doing so folks?

Will America and Trump attack Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid? What of Veteran’s benefits and more? My real question is simpler, what the hell is Doge going to be and how do you make cuts, left and right? How powerful will Elon Musk and his rich cronies be? We all know thenumbers on the donations and contributions Musk made to Trump, and in the end he bought himself a Presidency didn’t he? trump is really a puppet folks, of Muck and Russia, look closely. If I were in Congress, I would be watching the budgets, the finances and Trump very closely. Don’t let Trump and Musk sell us to Putin and Russia, don’t let Trump alienate Mexico and Canada! Don’t allow Trump to cow tow to Putin and Russia and other communist!

As Trump takes over on Monday, be careful Congress, for we are headed to a Dictatorship or a Autocracy, don’t allow it, please. I shall state this clearly, does anyone understand American History anymore? America is based on being a Republic folks, for the people and by the people , not a Dynasty or autocratic nation, ruled by one party, person or group. I wonder now, what would the Founding Fathers of America say of what is happening today? What would Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and more, including Ben Franklin have to say, of what has happened to our republic and democracy?

Remember, a few things folks, one we have a Constitution and we have our Bills of rights, for reasons we all understand these days. It is to protect and defend our country against just what is happening and incoming on Monday January 20th. 2025. No one party, one person, should be allowed to overcome the will of the people or quiet their voices and do as they or he pleases. That’s why Checks and Balances were created in our land and government. I pray that, it will remain in effect and work properly for the next four years. If it doesn’t, well America’s Republic has then run it’s course like all the past Empires and we shall fall, flat on our face.

I know my History and in America, it was Washington, who saved us from Dynasties, and said two terms is enough for an American President and he left. It Was franklin who said after the Constitution was signed into law and approved, ” We Shall only have a Republic, as long as “We the people protect and defend it” Congress today in 2025, must heed Franklin’s words and those of Washington too, do not let our Republic and Democracy fade from existence, keep it, and defend it, and most of all, keep our freedom please. I didn’t give sixteen years of my life, defending my country as a Veteran who is Disabled today, to see it fall!

Warnings About Trump’s Political Appointments and Policies


January 17th, 2025, in a few days, I shall reach 69 years old folks. My back is a mess from my Naval Service and my health is holding at least, referring to my lung cancer, I had in 2013. The cost of everything is about to rise, due to the incoming Trump Administration and there seems to be no stopping it now.

Biden said his farewell to the Nation now and he has warned the money brokers will take over, is he right, I think so. You want proof of it, take a good look at Trump’s Inauguration come Monday. As the stage shall be filled with people like, Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, and the rich left and right. I remind all Americans, Trump will be President yes by title and position he was voted in as, but the real power is Elon Musk who bought Trump the Presidency. If musk says jump Trump will, plain and simple folks. And if Putin says jump trump will too, Trump is a old man, 78 and in the end, he is controlled by those surrounding him now. His physical health is poor, just look at him and listen to him talk, and you can see his mental prowess is down and his capability to really lead is shot. But, America in it’s great wisdom, decide to give him four more years, that we will sadly have to survive.

That said, let me say this now before The Trump Administration takes over. Joe Biden, led the country out of covid, he led the country in creating jobs and an economy that worked. Joe Biden, led the world in peace efforts across the globe and accomplished many items.Now, he is leaving and the country is being turned over to Trump, I am betting that by Janauray 2026, America wil be lagging behind in job creation, your taxes will rise, your health care will disappear, and the US Economy will tank. We may be headed into the biggest recession in world history, and with Trump in charge, laughed at the worse in the world too. Trump isa convicted felon 34 times over and that will stay on his record for the rest of his life. There is no place he can go to hide from it. America is about to become the largest laughing stock ever. Other countries who are democratic or republics or free countries, see what is coming and that it is Trump and they shake their heads at the American People for putting this man in the Presidency. Now, this is all my opinion folks and how I see it, since this is my blog, I write what I wish, we still have freedom of speech in America, at least for today!

When Trump’s plans go into affect, the border with Mexico, his fence will restart again, he wants to Tariff Mexico, Canada, who are allies of ours and attached to us. That alone will drive up the prices of oil, cars and more in America. Who do you think pays for those tariffs, the American taxpayer folks! he thinks strong arming your allies is the way to go, well it is if you want to lose them. we are not an island on our own here, we have allies world wide to maintain peace, and help one another out, if he goes as he speaking, well those ties will weaken.

On the home front here in America, i recommend all save their money and hold on tight. Expect taxes to rise federally and state wise on you. Someone must pay for Trump’s ideas and crazy thoughts he has. He plans on repassing his Tax Break for the rich and his cronies. He wants to kill Obama Care/ HealthCare, he wants to misuse Social Security funds and attack Medicare and Medicaid too. The damages his first days in office, never the rest of his term will cause will be substantial in all ways. I know, I have heard all the MAGA People oh Trump is Great, best thing to hit America since Apple Pie, well they are wrong and now America will see why, soon enough. Sadly, you who voted for Trump wil pay the same price as those of us, who voted against him. But the biggest damages will be economic and as I see it also in the people he is putting into high positions.

Pete Hegseth has no experience, in running any organization or business the size of The Defense Department. he doesn’t understand all of it, and in the end all it take sis one stupid mistake to set off a Nuke War, or a ground war. he has no experience in handling a budget that large, he knows nothing of the Navy, Army, Marine or air Force either. Hegseth served only in The National Guard folks. That is not a person with military strategy in his mind. he couldn’t plan his way out of a paperbox. Yet, the Congress is gonna confirm him. Sad. Kash Patel doesn’t have any knowledge of the Operation, planning or actions of the FBI either, he is not a real Director if confirmed. I remind all, Trump is putting people into position not to run the country correctly, but so he can get retribution against those who prosecuted him for crimes or investigated him. Tulsi Gabbard is not qualified either to be the DNI director. But again, the Republicans are saying Trump deserves to have his picks, sad. What happened to oversight of congress?

As we near Monday January 20th, 2025, I remind all, Trump will take the Oath of Office once more, and like last time he will speak the words, and raise his right hand on a Bible. Yet, like his first time around, he will not mean it. he is there because Elon Musk bought him the Presidency, not because he is qualified for it. Elon Musk attached himself to Trump and paid for Trump’s run for President. Why do you think he did that, simple he wants to control trump as much as he can, to prolong and extend his own financial empire, he has no worry or care for the average American or our families. It’s a sad day on January 20th, in my opinion. And if your joyous as a Trump Supporter and Maga Backer or member of MAGA, well fine so be it, but that shine will wear off quickly, I promise you.

I pray America is smart enough to keep checks and balances on all The Trump Administration is doing and will do. I pray Congress wil use their oversight powers correctly and control fundings and more. If they don’t, it won’t take Trump long to break America’s funding and spending laws. he will rip the Country off for al he can get, and at the same time sell us to Russia. It’s coming.

I write this as a Warning to Congress and the American People. Trump has ripped off his suppliers and builders over the years, he has attempted to launch a University that never happened and ate those funds. He couldn’t sell water, or steaks either. This is a man who sexually harassed and touched women he had no right to. yet, here he is in The Presidency in a few days. Sadly, Americans voted for him, which is their right, but there isa reason a convicted felon has never been a President before now, and I pray, Congress, the American People, will watch closely, monitor and keep track of all he is about to do. For in the end, we may end up the first Country to commit Bankruptcy under Trump. be prepared, is all I can say. I would walk away from Trump is I met him in person, whether as President or not. He is an unbalanced individual, old and aged, and unstable mentally and definitely physically too. Sadly, we must live with the decisions people voted in place for now. One thing to stopped and think about, if Trump, due to mental or physical disabilities, can not perform his duties, you will end up with a President Vance, you chose it folks, good luck.

Watch Trump Closely: A Warning for 2025


Good Morning January 15th, 2025! Some have suggested I should move back to Connecticut, because I do not understand the so called Massaholes here. I also don’t understand the taxes here and how the towns and state want to soak it’s residents all the time. But, that’s me folks, and no I am not moving to Connecticut in the future, I own my condo here in Westborough, Ma.

That said, lets discuss what is ahead for the nation as a whole. I did not vote for Trump and never would or will. The man is a convicted felon first off, and that alone shall never be removed from his name or reputation. He has bought himself out of it, in every case he could, yet, New York said nope your guilty, live with it. Yes it pisses him off, he is now officially the only United States President who is a convicted felon period. I would recommend, Congress and The Senate watch him closely, for he will rip off the American Tax Payers for whatever he can as he goes along. A Con Man and a convicted felon never change their colors folks, and they find ways to hide what they are doing. So, I recommend people put Donald J. Trump under a microscope, and watch him closely. Never in my lifetime have I ever seen a President who wants to kill the Department of Education, wants to go after Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid, but here one is. His views on World Affairs also suck, he thinks intimidation is the way to control the world. Lets tariff everyone, and see if they like it. While his tariffs will slow down other countries, they will kill the American Economy too. Many Americans do not understand, how tariffs work, when they find out the tariffs are not paid by other nations but by Americans in the end, well you can get the drift so to say. Anger will rise, as the economic numbers start to jump, gas prices will rise, food prices will rise and more. Trump has never been a negotiator when it comes to anything, his idea is force them to do what he wants. That attitude and anger will, cause major American Economic problems and rising prices.

Next, Trump needs to be watched closer on legal matters and using the Justice System to get revenge and retribution. He wants to go after anyone who prosecuted him, charged him etc. As the old saying goes Donald J. Trump and Baretta said it best ” Don’t Do the Crime if you can’t do the Time!” Your lucky your free to be President and The Justice System saved you. Also, you should kiss Elon Musk’s ass, he saved you and bought you, for the next four years. Bottom line, your a puppet of Elon Musk now, and Putin is pulling your strings also. You never did get out from under Putin, Trump, you just hid it well, for a while.

As we start 2025 and the Trump Administration comes into focus, take a close look folks, and Congress both the Senate and House, his appointments tell their own stories. A Defense Secretary, who only served in the National Guard, and has opinions that make no sense regarding women in the military. A Sexual Harasser of women, running the Military as sad tale indeed, and easy for Russia and others to just blackmail. Other appointments are even worse, I get he wants to shake up Washington, but, don’t be totally stupid Senate and The House, you let him have his way, with no controls on him, your done and so is America. He will sell us out to Russia and let Ukraine go down and more, He is weak, scared and not capable in my opinion. Your going to Confirm a Secretary of Defense who never handled a budget over 100 grand a year and when he did he blew it, to the tune of deficits in the hundreds of thousands. Now he can get his hands on the over eight billion dollar military budget if he is confirmed, Wake up!

That being said lets discuss another Trump item and problem here. I remind all, that Donald J. Trump is not a healthy man at 78 years old and his age alone is a factor here. If at anytime, Trump gets ill, has heart problems, or more, and can’t handle the job, you now will get a President Vance. Is that what, American’s want? Imagine, Trump enters office in a few days, his health goes south, and wham, we then have a President Vance who has no experience, no knowledge or ability to lead this nation. If you thought Biden was a problem, with a back up of Harris, well, your deeper in the shit if Vance must take over at any point. Think about it folks!

These are just a few of the facts of the coming Administration in America. Looking at it now, I can honestly say in my 69 years of life, this month I have never seen a mess so bad in American History. Oh I have heard it all, MAGA is Great, the Wall will be built, he is going to deport all immigrants who are illegal, ok, how do you pay for all of that now. Where is the money coming from for his petty bullshit projects, and how rich is his friends going to get off of all of it and him too. I never thought I would say this about American’s but, here it is, your gullible, easy to fool, and basically, ignorant of what is coming. Sadly, it is going to be your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren who will suffer, when Trump buries Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, attack Health Care and destroys our reputation on the world stage. he was already laughed out of Nato in his first term, and how many countries will allow a convicted felon to tell them what to do, or allow him in their nations? Not many! he is foolish, he wants to attack Canada, Mexico and then take Greenland, the Panama Canal, and do it with military force, and his incoming Defense Secretary has already told Congress, he will do as the President tells him to. Sad !!!!

I know I can’t change how people voted, no one can, you made your decision Americans! Now I suspect, you will have to live with the results we all will. Good Luck, because me, I will mind my own, save my money left and right and not get involved with MAGA, Trump or any of it. I pray, American’s will heed my warnings here and keep very close tabs on Trump, his Administration and what he is doing, otherwise, we get handed to Putin in the near future.

The Truth About Massachusetts: Population, Politics, and Parenting


A little commentary about some subjects that may or may not disturb people here in Massachusetts and else where for today!

First, let me say this, Massachusetts, has it’s problems in many ways. It wants to increase it’s population, but has numerous problems controlling it’s citizens, and it’s tax rates. Crime in this state rises, and then towns decide they want to improve, so they attract Senior Citizens and build condos and then sell them and then tax the buyers out of them, for projects they can’t afford. That my friends is stupid, it is like a double edge sword to it’s own purpose of attracting the Seniors in the first place.

Next, let me address a common problem I have run into in Massachusetts, the popular called Massaholes so to say. let me say this clearly so I am not misunderstood, there is no need or want or any other reason for this to be. People are strange here, and mean and argumentative too. They do not accept new people coming into their state for whatever reason. Secondly, the citizens here, seem to think, they rae better than anyone else in the nation, and they are always right when they are not. Politics plays a factor here too, but, it is not as strong as this Massahole bullshit going round. Wake up folks, you can’t call for people to come to your state, to increase the population and tax base, then, tax us back out and get away with it. Sonner or later you will find, we wake up and leave, in mass exoduses. Is that what you want here, just the money you can squeeze out of people?

The Massahole affect goes deeper than you think, it is in your attitudes toward one another and strangers too. You shut people out, ignore people, fight and argue with people too. Grow up here will you! Just because someone does not think the same as you, doesn’t mean we are wrong or right, it means we have our own ideas and opinions too. Accept that will you, please and stop thinking your shit doesn’t stink! There is no excuse for the rudeness, arrogance, anger, that comes out of the Massaholes! None, it drives people away, it affects people emotionally and mentally too. Wake up! The coldness, and anger towards others is really nasty in Massachusetts and it is bad for the state and it’s citizens too.

Third problem, as I was discussing with others in online chat rooms and blogs and more, the loneliness factor here in Massachusetts, is huge. The dating scene in this state is sad. Look, whatever happened to approaching someone and saying, I like you, I like your looks, or your personality, want to have dinner or a coffee, I would like to know you? It seems in this state that is looked at as being too forward or rude or too demanding, why? Please explain that one, ladies and gentlemen, please. I have no idea, how this state even accomplishes the task of repopulating itself, if people push you away for asking someone out or liking someone. It’s stupid and if you think someone just wants you for you money, well, that is not the case always. The other thing I have noticed is Massachusetts has more narcists then anywhere I have lived or been, why? It is a sad thing to see and one has to watch out for these people, they don’t care for anyone but themselves. This Massahole attitude and problem extends into public places and worst of all on the roads, when your driving at times. Wake up, Massachusetts!

The state already has what I believe is the highest tax rate in the nation, maybe not exactly but close to it. Now I want to remind all, a new Administration is coming into power in Washington, DC and with it comes problems like never before. They intend to tariff to death our neighbors Canada and Mexico, tariff other countries to control them and try to make America first once more. I am tired of this bullshit of Make America, Great Again, it’s crap. I will remind all Americans, I was born here, I will die here, I defended this country and gave my health for it too, for 16 years, America has always been great! Why, because we have the right to Vote, to Free Speech, and a Constitution unlike any other. We have The Bill of The Rights and protections for our people. We take care of one another in many ways. We still have the best of almost everything in the world. The most resources too, so don’t fill me with crap about Making America Great Again, we never lost out greatness and never will. Wake up folks ! You can run around with your little red hats all you wish, screaming and jumping up and down, because we are America, go do it in Russia and lets see how long last there, before your either killed or shipped out to Syberia! Wake up!

Next topic, the raising of American Children these days. If you decide to have children, please remember some basic facts. 1) You made them, you pay for them ok, not State Aid or welfare. 2) It’s your responsibility to teach them right from wrong, and manners and morals and ethics. 3) Discipline them, make them understand societies rules, and common courtesies. 4) An Xbox, Playstation, or Video Game console is not there to raise your children or babysit them. It’s entertainment they must earn to have. 5) The Internet must be controlled and so must the children’s access too to it. Do, your job as parents, guide, teach and protect, and raise them properly. Teach them logic and common sense please, and correct them when they are rude or get too arrogant. What the hell happened to parenting your child and correcting them properly? Damn! One other thing too, schools are not your child baby sitters folks, they help a child learn yes, they teach your child the things needed to make a living and survive, you control your child, and their behavior in school on the streets and in places of public usage, is your responsibility, it reflects back on you as a parent and adult, when your child gets out of control, or does something illegal, wake up.

I know, I have heard it before the old argument of what decade was the best in American History. What Generation was the best to live in, and I have heard people get upset when discussing this. Well being as i was born in 1956, I can not account for any decade before 1960, in my experience. The 1960’s produced jobs and money in America, but failed to police itself properly, as we all know. we had the peaceniks, the drug usage and alcohol usage increases too. The Vietnam and Korean Wars and Assassinations too. Then, we moved into the 1970s, pot became the thing, peaceful protests, political turmoil and more. We still had the best cars and music of any era in my opinion. Yes, we had political turmoil again, Nixon and Watergate, and Agnew too. By the end of the 1970s, with Carter as President, we learned even America had to learn to save energy in the world, turn our thermostats down and worry about jobs once more. We learned or began to learn, the world didn’t like us as much as we thought and they started attacking us for political positions and actions we did in the world. In the end I still believe the 1970’s were good years, but I am partial to them.

Let me say this to all, today in 2025, we now enter a period of time, where America itself, and our way of life is at stake and our way of government too. Democracy is at stake as is the Republic as founded by the Forefathers of our Nation. We can not change the way the voting went, or the President we will have legally, but we can defend our rights and make the incoming Administration live by the rules of our land, for no one is above the law. We have checks and balances and as Americans we have the right to use them to protect our way of life and our people. The Presidency may have been bought by Elon Musk and his billions, and we may ultimately end up under a President Vance also. I remind all Americans, whether you Voted Trump or not, he is 78 years old, not in the best of health, just look at him, and imagine if something happens, you get a President Vance, I hope your ready, because i don’t think you thought of it when you got all MAGA excited and voted Trump in again. Time shall tell if I am right or wrong here, I am not young myself, so, I may or may not live to see it, happen. But, I think all politicians no matter party, race, nationality, should prepare just in case. For this is America, we will have to adapt and change and adjust, as we go forward and yes the majority voted and yes I understand that. I am just saying what few thought about when they ran to the voting booths. Sorry folks, just honest opinion here.

Let me close here with a simple thing, in America these days, there are still a few of us who have manners, ethics and morals. We still open doors for women, we still respect their opinions, we still can say without doubt everyone has their right to their own opinion. We still can be civil, polite and work together no matter what, I hope. I still have Hope in The Promise of what Our Forefathers, Washington, Jefferson, Adams and Franklin and more said, and made, and as ben franklin said, after they signed the Constitution of the United States, We shall have a Republic only as long as we the people, Protect and Defend it! Never forget that Americans, we must do that!
