Friday, September 18th, 2025 has arrived. The days are beggining to get shorter and the temperatures more moderate now. Some leaves have begun to change also. Fall will be upon us in full very soon. It’s that time of year when thing change and rearrange and prepare for the coming winter, here in Massachuetts. One of the great things about Massachuetts is the changing seasons, like the whole east coast does have. It’s like a slow adventure of weather conditions and changes, that we never know for sure what is next.

Next subject Americans, my question is how far are we going to allow Trump to push the Constitution, and our Admendments and Bill of Rights? How long does he get to determine what is free speech and what is not? Listen, the Founding Fathers made the first Admendment for a reason, no man, woman or child should be afraid to voice their opinions, without reprecussions. America is based on certain principles folks, Freedom of Speech is one. Seperation of Religion and Government is two. when one man, just because he is President can tell the American People what they can or can not say, well, something is terribly wrong, period. So President Trump says out of one side of his mouth before elected he believes in Freedom of Speech. Now out the otherside of his mouth he is condemning those who joke, or attack his policies and his words, by killing their likelyhood? Stephen Colbert is cancelled, Jimmy Kimmel is pulled from the air, other comedians are attacked and watched for saying things President Trump doesn’t like about him. Listen folks, if Trump can mock cripples, he can attack politicians on the oppssing party and he can heckle his audiences and newcasters and reporters, why can’s comedians tell jokes and heckle him? What makes him so special? A President is not a King folks, he is not a Dictator, we are not communist, we are not Autocratic here, we are a Republic and Democracy, aren’t we still? Are Americans, now, sheep to fall inline behind one man, and not be able to speak their minds? What happened to the America we all love and protect, that one man can do this?

One more thing, for all Republicans and MAGA backers to understand here. No President no matter his age, no matter his party, can get three terms as President. It’s a law and in the Constitution folks. It was put in for many reasons. So, don’t go breaking the laws by trying to, please. Trump has enough failing cognitive functions and physical functions as it is. He is in worse shape then Joe Biden was when Joe decided not to run again. He stumbles, he fumbles his words, he loses track of what he is saying, he acts like an animal at public appearances and no one goes, look at him! The world is through folks, he embarrassed himself and our country in England and in The King’s dinner, on public television. He fell asleep, he ate like a horse. It’s sad, this man is allowed to represent us, it’s humiliating and embarrassing. yet, he is backed enough to stay in office. Sad. he is aging faster then Biden was, and fading on the cognitive level and physical level severely. I know republicans believe they owe Trump for the positions they hold currently, on The Supreme Court and in the House and Senate, but, lets be realistic now, how long do you think America is going to let this carry on? We have become the embarrasment of the world, due to his being President.

He can’t stop wars, but he is causing and creating civil unrest and anger in American society left and right. Violence erupts on the American land, left and right now. People are shooting others, all under Trump. He is putting National Guard Troops into American Cities! The National Guard is not trained to police anyone folks. They are there because he wants you to fear them. Instill fear, you then control the population, ask those who supported Hitler, ask those who supported Mussoloni folks. It’s true, how do you become a dictator 101 shows it is the first step. we need to wake up and stop this now, before our laws and right are all gone. Before the carefully crafted Constitution and it’s Admendments and our Bill of Rights disappear for good. before Trump starts calling us peasants, and the masses. It’s coming folks, and some are either too blind to see it, or they don’t wish to see it, because they are backing Trump and his MAGA ideals. It must stop!

That said now, there is not much more I can say, on this subject. If Americans can’t wake up to what is being done, then we are done as a Republic and a Democracy! It will all end under Trump, if you let it. I still believe in our Forefathers of our country. men like Franklin, Jefferson, Adams, Washington, Hamilton, and more. Washington feared the Military, Jefferson warned against fights between political parties and Franklin said, right after the Constitution was signed ” We shall only have a Republic and Democracy, for as long as we support and defend it” They knew there would come a time when it would be attacked from within, well here it is folks. What do we as citizens and the people of America do now, do we allow it to all go to hell in a handbasket under Trump, or do we fight back and how?

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?

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!
