What the F@#! is Going On About A Quatari Airbase in Idaho?

Secretary of the Defense Pete Hegseth clearly stated on Friday the Pentagon was “signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emiri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho.” So now JD Vance is suggesting Hegseth's statement is a "fake story." So which is it? The Trump administration has officially accepted a jet from Quatar. Is this even legal? According to one news source, "Democratic Senator Adam Schiff quoted a section of the US Constitution that said no elected official could accept "any present... of any kind whatever" from the leader of a foreign state without congressional approval. Frank Cogliano, a professor of American history at the University of Edinburgh, says this clause "was intended to prevent bribery to influence the government". 'It is certainly stretching the Constitution and we have not seen a gift on this scale, or of this nature', says Professor Andrew Moran, a constitutional law expert at London Metropolitan University." My legal opinion is- absolutely not. America is not for sale. America's military bases are not for sale. Too bad, it seems Trump's ethical compass does not exist.

This blog is to document (with links) bad history as I see it. Let me be clear. There is good and bad on both sides of the political aisle. I am just trying to do my part to educate, save and contribute to a healthy democracy for all.

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 ...
