When we consider the current presidential administration we tend to think of one person, Joe Biden, but we need to keep in mind that there are approximately 1500 people in various positions who are working hard under the president to build the base of jobs, strengthen the economy, and restore honesty and fairness to government.

If Trump is re-elected, these 1500 people will be replaced by 1500 folks with the same character as the 45th president himself, i.e., criminal liars.

There is a reason that 40 of Trump’s 44 top aids refuse to support him in November.

Here’s a video by a supposed “expert in U.S. military intelligence” who did, perhaps, fight in Afghanistan and appear on Tucker Carlson’s show.  He claims that there is ironclad evidence that Russia and China are planning an imminent EMP (electric magnetic pulse) attack on the United States which will immediately render our country devoid of power, and thus cold, starving, and looted by armed gangs.  Of course, as with the case of all shocking claims of this is sort, it’s something “the government is hiding from us.”

I have a couple of suspicions:

He says he’s a friend of Donald Trump.  So Trump is hiding this horrible truth from us?  OK, Trump is one of the most terrible people this country has ever encountered, but really?

What does he suggest that the U.S. would do if it came under this type of attack from a conspiracy between Russia and China and “90% of Americans were (actually) losing their lives to heat-stroke, frostbite, starvation, disease via failure of refrigeration and hospitals, etc.?  Send over some diplomats with fancy leather briefcases?

I happen to know people personally who have told me (and these are not military secrets), that, under a circumstance like this, that if we are not able to knock these attack missiles out of the sky, we will dump everything we have on the attacking country(ies), eradicating them within a few minutes from the surface of the Earth.

Whom to believe?  This fool, supposed friend of Trump and Carlson, or your own common sense?

Think for a moment how few present-day Republicans hold to what Teddy Roosevelt said here. It’s actually smack-dab in the middle of the modern Democratic platform.

This assertion is what’s now called “woke,” i.e., the notion that we should care about the wellbeing of one another.

One would have thought this was as firmly fixed in our society as anything could possibly be.

I had the honor of meeting the first female justice of the U.S. Supreme Court a few years ago.

The wisdom she expressed here seems to be lost on today’s high court, which has little if any interest in protecting the American people against a “system that that has served others so poorly.”

By protecting Donald Trump against criminal prosecution and granting him immunity, they’ve effectively ended our democracy and headed us toward fascism, a system that has served poorly everyone who has ever suffered under it.

In an age where many Americans seem so eager to re-elect a man to the presidency who tried to overthrow the United States government, there are a few people from his party who stand vocally against him.

Good going, Liz Cheney.

Re: the discussion at left, senior energy and financial analyst Robert Rapier writes:

This is Gaslighting 101, from a man who is reportedly a finalist to be Trump’s VP pick. There was nothing smooth about the transition.
Trump’s team didn’t cooperate at all. Trump didn’t concede. They wouldn’t release transition funds to allow for office space for Biden’s team. They wouldn’t share intelligence briefings. And Trump was the first ex-president in modern times not to attend the inauguration of his successor. That’s all in addition to January 6th.
This is unprecedented behavior for a losing candidate, so don’t try to gaslight us with “It was a smooth transition.”  More here.
Ever since Trump came on the scene, Americans’ regard for truth has fallen through the floor.  We simply don’t care a whit about what’s factual vs, what’s invented.

I’m afraid Steven Martin is correct in what he says here.

If there is an announcement late in the evening of November 5th, 2024, or sometime in the days that follow, to the effect that Trump has won re-election, the world will have to accept that the United States is no longer a democracy and will be rapidly transitioning to an authoritative state.

If I were to name one aspect of Tim Snyder’s uniqueness as a historian, it’s his capacity to take his tremendous intellect and make it accessible to the average person.

And of course, at this point in U.S., history, this is not just some quirky little curiosity; it’s vital that the common American understands what Dr. Snyder is saying in the meme at left, and acts accordingly.

I hope you’ll check out this short video.
