Beware: Trump threatens to "Send more than the National Guard into U.S. cities"

Presidents of the United States do not use the military against their own cities. We have police for crime control. Police receive extensive training on how to effect crime control our military does not (yes, there are military police in the armed forces this is now what Trump is solely using). Today, Trump vows to "send more than the National Guard" into U.S. cities. What is the purpose? Well, the real purpose is to scare Democrats. So far, Trump has sent the National Guard only to Democratic cities: Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland (Oregon), and Memphis (Tennessee). According to 2024 FBI crime rates, the majority of Democrat run cities have crime rates similar to the Republican- affiliated mayor of cities (some cities elect their mayors with party affiliation). When you break it down to states, according to Congressional research, the murder rate in the 25 states that voted for Trump exceeds the murder rate for the 25 states that voted for Joe Biden every single year from 2000-2020. So the real issue of partisanship does not bode well for "tough on crime" Republican platforms. Autocrats and dictators turn their militaries loose on their own people. Trump is a wannabe dictator, not a President who leads with thoughtfulness or intelligence.

No Surprise- Trump and Lies Regarding Epstein Proof

The House Oversight committee released more documents from Jeffrey Epstein's estate . Two are very damning. One is a birthday card from Trump to Epstein "May every day be another wonderful secret" and a picture with Epstein and a long time Mar a Lago member joking about selling a "fully depreciated" woman to Trump for $22,500. These are physical pieces of evidence from Epstein's estate. Trump is of course calling everything a lie- not his signature, etc. Facts- numerous pictures and much evidence prove the Trump-Epstein close friendship. Let's not forget Trump declaring on Jan. 23, 2016, while campaigning in Iowa "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" Enough America. Who in their right mind would think this, much less say it at a campaign event? He truly believes he can get away with murder. Maxwell, Epstein's girlfiend, was convicted of child sex trafficking and ...

Trump Loses it

Image
Last night, this came across my X feed. I had to go to the White House's X account to make sure it is legitimate. Unfortunately, it is. Shocking. Disgusting. Shameful. President Trump does not have the legal power to strip away someone's citizenship. Why is this happening? It is because Rosie O'Donnell openly criticizes Trump . Murderous third world dictators and lawless autocrats (like Putin) pull moves like this, not leaders of the free world. This is the United States of America. Every one has the right to free speech. Trump cannot revoke Rosie O'Donnell's citizenship because he does not like the things she says. The first amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to exercise free speech This is deeply concerning. This is the logic of a 5 year old. How can this even be happening? Stupid is as stupid does. If you want to gage someone's intelligence, observe their actions. Congress has the Constitutional power over de-naturalization ...
