Whistle Blower Call and email to Speaker Nancy Pelosi

I called and emailed Speaker Nancy Pelosi and told her that the Democratic Party MUST in view of this whistle blower accusation, if true, begin impeachment proceedings IMMEDIATELY.  I was vociferous that Democrats cannot appear to be weak.

I said, Trump should not have the privilege of keeping this Whistle Blower complaint from the Congress receiving it as required by law.  It is an abuse of power against a co-equal branch of government to keep Congress from seeing the Complaint.  It is Congress's duty by law to see the Whistle Blower Complaint and it is also incumbent upon them to keep the name of the Whistle Blower confidential to ensure his/her safety. 

If this egregious even treasonous alleged extortion act by Trump delivered by phone to a  foreign power Ukraine trading $240 million dollars in military aid for dirt on Joe Biden's son to help Trump's campaign, if true, is not grounds for impeachment and even conviction by the Senate then nothing is. 

The Whistle Blower Complaint should be given to Congress post haste.

Here are her contacts if you so choose to voice your opinion.  I suggest you do.  Nothing but the life of the Republic is at stake

Phone Number: (202) 225-4965

It's Warren

Just made my choice it's Warren for the brilliant person she is. My God let's not choose mediocrity which seems to the American way. Mediocre intellect Bush, and corrupt as all hell disgustingly moronic is Drumpf. Holy God we can surely in a nation of 350 million do better than that.

I like Biden and if he is the choice or anyone else with a "D" after their name they will get my vote. If, however, I could magically create the next president it would be Elizabeth Warren. There is NOTHING mediocre about her. Biden is, in my opinion, too old and not sharp on the come back. Sanders is too old and too gruff.   I want someone SMART and tough but gentle at the same time. Warren is it!! 

Emmett Till’s Memorial Sign Shot Up again 35 days after being replaced -- DESPICABLE

https://blacknewsalerts.com/2019/09/04/emmett-tills-memorial-sign-shot-35-days-replaced/?fbclid=IwAR1SpuDV6Ub1IssubFGolXbkDCk3DnRPTIISB7cqVIqbv6yENKLQK3ZOImM

As long as he can get their vote Trump capitalizes on hate by welcoming the haters into his ranks, refusing to call the extremist right out for what it is and always has been a vessel for hate. Yes, it's always been there but it never has achieved the legitimacy that Trump has accorded it. As long as the haters support Trump, and they do, he will not speak out against it vociferously and condemn it with passion. No he will say there are good people on both sides of the political equation. No, a Klu Klux Klanner, an American Nazi and many in the Republican Party today through his acceptance are NOT good people! Hate courses through their veins and they will use it.

The one or the many who defaced the sign of Emmet Till, who did nothing to deserve his fate, are surely not good people. I cry and shake my head and simply hope even in Mississippi there are more like us than there are of them. If you are Christian follow Christ's words: Matthew 25 40 ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

Rollback of clean water protections

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/12/climate/trump-administration-to-finalize-r

If this does not make your mind explode than nothing will. See link above.  Are we creatures with a brain, do we not have children and grandchildren, do we have human beings that we love? What kind of nation is this that cowers to corporate interests while not giving a rat's petuti about the people who will sicken and die from the pollution effects of these roll back regulations.

One need only look at Flint, Michigan to see what polluted water will do and how torturous the deaths are including an abundance of Legionnaires' disease from tainted water. This is utterly horrible beyond comprehension and hazardous to all of our health!

Call your congress persons and scream bloody murder because this is in fact murder! Send this to anyone you choose.  Vote blue up and down the ticket to save your life and the life of the democratic republic that is at least for now our nation!

My letter to Nancy Pelosi

Speaker Pelosi.  The amount of egregiously flouting law and undermining our Constitution by this president knows no end.  The sheer volume of law breaking criminality of Trump is jaw dropping.  Please do not do what Democrats seem destined to do and that is snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

The overabundant rationales for the impeachment of this presidential menace are staggering.  I implore you to get behind those legislators in the Democratic party who are for impeachment and with precision and haste steer them to the road of drafting Articles of Impeachment.  To do anything less would be to turn one's back on the Founders who gave us a roadmap to prevent an authoritarian mad man like Trump from using the powerful office of the presidency to attain unlimited power and wealth at taxpayer's expense subverting from within the Republic they created. 

"Trump Claims Those Fleeing Bahamas Could Be 'Very Bad People'"

 https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-bahamas-hurricane-dorian-survivors_n_5d76aad9e4b0752102312348

 

 

Each day is a new outrage or new outrages.  All those human beings left with nothing from Hurricane Dorian and he wants to keep them from coming here without scrupulous checks on their so called "criminal" status because some fleeing he says "could be very bad people."  What about Trump's criminal status?  Should we not check on that?  He says he does not want to keep them out because they are from the Bahamas and might be "criminals" our supremely racist squatter in the White House meant to say he wants to keep them out because they are black.

Trump who is so corrupt the CIA does not even trust a Moscow asset living here who could be compromised by Trump, the Putin lover, himself.  The CIA fears for our spy's life.  See "The Case of the Moscow Asset."  https://www.huffpost.com/entry/cia-russia-informant-putin-extracted_n_5d76f3b5e4b0fde50c2bbc9b

Chilling.  If this does not confirm alleged treason or CIA fears of it for good reason committed by Trump then I do not know what does.  He must be thrown out of the White House either through impeachment or electorally because he is a very bad person!

IMPEACHMENT NOW! 

VOTE BLUE UP AND DOWN THE TICKET!

Prince Joseph Kennedy wants what’s properly his--by the Globe's Scot Lehigh

https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2019/08/27/prince-joseph-kennedy-wants-what-properly-his/galIUiQ8WSlwPPTQ0ceelK/story.html?fbclid=IwAR3eFu0kCOgDzEzf6-xfGmwoc0fJlOppQvrZOG-ITurqnRU0XciL2I6_j4g

It's not that I have anything against Joseph P. Kennedy III who is now holding 9 point lead over Markey but when I put the two of them side by side Markey, I believe, has been wonderful on all the issues and has the greater seniority than Kennedy.

I reserve my right to change my opinion but I have never thought as highly about Joe Kennedy III as I have about other Kennedys. I believe he has yet to show the intellectual heft that Markey possesses. After so sterling a record as Ed Markey has had after Markey's 43 year stint in Congress a head to head match shows Joe Kennedy leading Markey by an even larger 14 point margin. I am surprised. Of course, I would support Joe if he is the Democratic primary choice but is there nothing to be said for experience? I guess it is out with the old and in with the new in Democratic politics these days. There is something to be said for that but in this case at this time Markey gets my vote!

"Trump poses with fake map to make it seem like he didn't lie about Hurricane Dorian"

"The National Weather Service corrected Trump to say there would be no hurricane effects in Alabama. So Trump presented a Sharpie-altered map falsely showing Alabama getting hit."   When asked who drew a circle around Alabama with the Sharpie he said as he said about authorizing the sex silencing payments to Stormy Daniels and Susan McDougal.  He meekly said "I don't know."  He does not know?  How about if one takes a wild guess and say it was Drumpf who authorized the payments and it was Drumpf who drew a fake hurricane circle to include erroneously Alabama.

This may seem like a minor lie but it is not minor. It would be if this were the only thing about which he lied but he has lied over 12,000 during his presidency. It would be minor if people's lives did not depend on accurate hurricane reporting.  It would be minor if this were not the essence of this man. He is a pathological liar and a pathological narcissist which makes him extraordinarily dangerous.  His small hands are within reach of the nuclear football. That is what makes all of this a frightening nightmare.

His state department offers cash to Iranian ship captains. It was authorized by Brian Hook of the State Department. When Drumpf was told this his question was "Who is Brian Hook?" He has no idea who is even in his State Department. This is NO joke. The joke is on those of us who had the stupidity to be conned by this supremely immoral man!

General Maddis on Morning Joe

The discussion with General Maddis and the co-author of his book on Morning Joe was riveting. The military competency of General Maddis cannot be denied. I understand what he was saying vis a vie remaining silent on the critique of Donald Trump under whom he served. He did not want to undermine, by getting involved in things political, the strength and success of its leader. He does not stray publicly from the main goal of a military leader and that is to carry out what his commander-in-chief, the president, dictates. It seems when he felt he could no longer do this he left the administration.

I disagree with his adherence to his aforementioned tactic and belief. If General Maddis loves this country so much, was willing in so many cases to lay down his life for it and, it seems, believes firmly in the Founders' separation of powers and democracy they created then I believe it is incumbent upon him to reveal to the American public the criticism of Donald Trump that I know he has. 

This president is a grave threat to this republic as if an enemy were at our gate supporting dictators but critical of democracies and as if he took up the weapons of war in allegiance to tyranny. It is, therefore, I think, mandatory that someone of General Maddis's stature to save our nation from the edge of the abyss, should tell it like it was and what prompted his exit. The very success of this experiment we call democracy depends on it and someone like General Maddis not only could but should critique this president publicly as if he were taking up arms to defend the nation!

Recession Part II

Austan Goolsbee was on Larry O'Donnell. He is an economist who is currently the Robert P. Gwinn Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business. Goolsbee formerly served as the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers and was a member of the cabinet of President Barack Obama. He says Trump's tariffs are INSANE and leading us into another recession. Tariff wars according to him are NOT easy as the Beast lies when he says they are. China will not give in and is in fact selling its wares to other nations. Things American manufactures rely on to create their products are soaring in price. Goolsbee thinks because of Trump's idiocy tariffs what will happen is the opposite of what Trump says.

Trump is cratering the economy that already is a hardship to those Trump thinks are his base -- farmers. Unless he changes his ways, watch, wait and see as we retreat to yet another recession affecting our 401K's, other investments and earnings his base relies on to survive. The suicide rate among farmers is the highest it has been as they lose their family farms!! VOTE BLUE UP AND DOWN THE 2020 TICKET AND SAVE LIVES!!

FB Post -- Funny

A Hitlerian Menace

By George Voyager

I genuinely wish I was making this up. Because every normal human being in this country wishes this was not true. It is.
"When you’ve already separated families, thrown children in cages, and held them in conditions that “could be compared to torture facilities,” it’s a bit of a challenge to come up with your next act. Evil takes creativity, and once you’ve forced migrant kids to go weeks without a shower or change of clothes and fed them expired food, it’s tough to continue nailing those Hitler comparisons. Somehow, though, the Trump administration always rises to the occasion:

Immigrant advocates in Boston say federal authorities are unfairly ordering foreign-born children granted special immigration status for medical treatment to return to their countries. The Irish International Immigrant Center says it’s aware of at least five local families who have received notices this month to leave the U.S. within 33 days. The families have “medical deferred action,” which enables them to receive government-funded health care and work legally while their children receive medical treatment…. Advocates say similar notices have been recently issued in California, North Carolina, and other states.

The new policy is reportedly a major departure from long-standing legal practice; for decades, the federal government has used it to exercise discretion where a little humanity is warranted, like when a child is critically ill and will die if ordered to leave the country. Unfortunately for such children, humanity is not part of the Trump administration’s agenda. Per the Boston Globe:

Consider the case of Marie and her 13-year-old son. They were visiting Boston in 2013 when the boy fell ill. He was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia, a genetic condition for which he’s been treated at Boston Medical Center. She filed for medical deferred action almost immediately and they were approved in 2017. The status, valid for two years, meant she could get a work permit and he would be granted MassHealth and afford access to life-saving care. She is required to bring him into BMC for monitoring every two months; otherwise acute problems might arise that can result in brain damage or kidney failure, she said. Last week, Marie got a denial letter from US Citizenship and Immigration Services after filing for a renewal. They were instructed to leave within 33 days or else risk deportation."

What is this person made of?  

I rest my case:  VOTE BLUE in 2020 to get the Hitlerian menace of Trump off our necks!

"Breaking Hate" -- our lives imperiled

I am posting this a little late but you can catch it, I am sure, at other times tonight or even ultimately online. MSNBC is showing a special entitled "Breaking Hate." It is a must see for all those who in our time see the threat of Fascism within these United States. It is guaranteed riveting broadcasting for all groups and most especially for my fellow Jews and other minorities. Is Hitler dead? He is in body but his spirit lives on. We must be aware in our Trumpian times of those whose main purpose in life is to kill those whom they do not consider white.  Hate and the violence it breeds is infecting our nation and is getting bigger every day we do not pay attention to its threat. 

Who of us could know when Trump descended his escalator in Trump Tower to announce his candidacy for president that he would win, ultimately condone and usher in an extremist force hell bent on creating a totalitarian dictatorship within a once strong democracy?  It is sick and he is sick but those who could legally through impeachment end his repulsive rule will not budge within a Republican Party that brings back memories Hitler's brown shirts in the 1930's.  Do not be deceived it can and is happening as this is being written right here and right now.  

AntiSemitism and many other hate crimes against minorities have risen to heights never before anticipated as has the violence against our brown and black brothers and sisters. It is mandatory to view "Breaking Hate" for the words Never Again to mean something. It can happen here unless we, all of us, who are of kind and empathetic hearts stop it before it ruins a heretofore great nation and imperils all of our lives.  RESIST!

My bet -- Sewage for a soul

Just a hunch with no proof but hey if Drumpf can indict Clinton with no proof I can indict the Beast.  I'm betting on Drumpf and/or his minions of his ultra wealthy men allegedly having sex with Epstein's underage teens had a LOT to lose.  Somehow he/they got to one or more prison officials and said just let Epstein stay without a suicide watch and let him do his own handiwork killing himself. No one has to actually do a thing except let him be on his own with no one in his cell.  Epstein attempted suicide two or three weeks before.  Epstein will take care of the dastardly deed and let the ultra rich off the hook.   Money talks in the U$ of A.

The fact that Drumpf tweeted Clinton as the guilty one took the spotlight off Trump or so he thought.  It really put the spotlight on the Beast. I say no. Drumpf coming out so quickly to offer up the false flag of Clinton to me only made Drumpf look guilty and more likely that he allegedly committed the crime or his ultra rich crime syndicate did by having those in prison power, the guards, do his/their bidding.  My guess is it would be for a nifty price that could easily be paid by polluted, corrupt and very rich men with sewage for a soul.  

Jeffrey Epstein Found Dead In Apparent Suicide Ahead Of Child Sex Abuse Trial--Doubting Thomas

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/FMfcgxwDqfGdJgnstJpKstqvFxHVHsNt?compose=new

 

 

Something is rotten in Denmark. Epstein was supposedly on suicide watch but the watch allegedly was turned off in federal prison. This man had the goods on allegedly SO many powerful wealthy men. Please forgive me if I am a doubting Thomas on this "suicide." Epstein allegedly ran his business out of Mar A Largo, Trump's so called southern White House. Supposedly Drumpf was not involved in this? You will forgive me again if I question the veracity of that. More WILL come out.

Surely if those who wanted Epstein dead think this will be the end of it. Think again. More questions will arise, more on Drumpf's role if any, and more on other rich and powerful men who may be named.  My God how LOW can it go?

The President's Speech--My dear he does not give a damn

Trump utterly fails to draw a straight line between his own racist hate provoking never ending vitriol in front of his base and the violence it evokes.  He delivers speeches of hate indicting inner cities calling them infestations and comparing them to Afghanistan.  He calls immigrants diseased invaders coming to this country in caravans uninvited spreading disease and lawlessness.  Trump knows nothing but lies.  He's told by the Washington Post over 10,000 of them. 

Moreover, he spews words spoken with utter malice toward the four persons of color congresswomen telling them if they hate America (which they do NOT) meaning if they disagree with his rancid policies then they should go home. He never considered their home was here.

His brew is toxic and his election has opened the skies to right wing extremists including white separatists and neo Nazis. He, if you can remember, called himself a NATIONALIST. He said "I'm a Nationalist. " We know what he is talking about. Does he think we are so dumb that he can bamboozle us with his sentiments of lies from a teleprompter?  His speech was probably written by someone else. It sounds nice but my prediction: Nothing but nothing will get done and nothing was said about making weapons of war illegal.

Right wing extremism is VIOLENT, it is cruel and even kills their own people if one does not like what the other is saying. They are an explosive, gun loving, toxic and inhumane political movement who now thinks they died and went to heaven because finally they have a president who yearns for their vote. They never had that before and now they do. It is no accident that hate crimes have increased since Trump walked his unfit-for-the presidency body into the oval office.

Until we rid our nation of the terrible plague of Trump you will see he simply, my dear, does not give a damn!


RESIST AND VOTE BLUE UP AND DOWN THE TICKET

The Threat

White tribalist racism is not new. What is new is a rancid ugly president who sees this strain in the American body politic and, as the con that he is, stokes it and provokes it to win the presidency with the help of Russia. Couple that with the speed of the Internet and it is a recipe for profound disaster.

Trump is without a doubt not blameless. His voice however stupid is heard by his adoring stupid racist base. The Proud Boys, the American Nazi Party, Storm Front, Aryan Nations and so many more think they have died and gone to heaven as their hate groups gain a foothold through Trump. Their ideology heretofore was on the fringe and their path to power a pipe dream. Their thought of becoming mainstream seemed out of reach.

 

American Nazi Lincoln Rockwell was assassinated by one of his own men in 1967 and George Wallace burned out in the American south. I thought it was the end of the extreme of extreme rightwing. Now it is hard to believe its a reality in contemporary politics. Amazing a phony slug like Cretan Trump is responsible for stoking the embers of American hate which never in reality totally burned out. Worse, white nationalism it is worldwide.

RESIST and vote blue up and down the ticket!

OMG another mass shooting

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/shooting-dayton-ohio_n_5d467878e4b0aca3411eede9

OMG another gd shooting in Dayton, Ohio!!!!!!!! 9 dead. I am sickened just sickened. What can one say what can one do? We cannot do much with an entire OBSTRUCTIONIST Republican Senate. I hope it is not too late....all the so called progressive ideals and predictions have come true. There are too many gd guns, military assault rifles and some states with zero or lax background checks for those crackpots who want to injure innocent human beings; climate change is real and has shown its face here and all over the world. Science doesn't care what a science denier thinks and it will do what the real scientists are saying it will.

WAKE UP AMERICA, vote blue up and down tickets or lose your nation and I might add the planet too! My heartfelt condolences to all the victims of mass shootings. Our nation is on the precipice of a sad death at the hands of man's cruelty to his fellow man unless we act -- VOTE. In the end we ALL of us are of one race -- the human race. Rest in peace my fellow Americans we are most ALL of us with you and those who grieve for their loved ones lost!

El Paso Walmart Gunman Identified As 21-Year-Old Trump Supporter Who Was Reportedly Against “Race Mixing” -- A preliminary comment

This is madness:  https://www.huffpost.com/entry/nation-reacts-to-el-paso-walmart-shooting-social-media_n_5d460517e4b0aca3411ec19b

This is indeed madness for a plethora of reasons too late to enumerate now. We MUST as Americans where most of us who were and are the product of immigration stand firm to oppose this right wing terrorist's so called screed of white supremacy​, white nationalism​ and race separation. He is an obscenity and should be shunned as such. The sooner he is tried, prosecuted and rots in prison for life or put to death as he did to infant children and human beings in the El Paso mall the better for our nation.

We who support a kinder, gentler and empathetic nation are NEVER going away, we will NEVER succumb, ​we will NEVER surrender; ​we will join hands each to the other and say as Martin Luther King did: WE SHALL OVERCOME!

Ugly Nationalism

I omitted an important point in Trump's racist rule in my opinion yesterday entitled "My Words are Insufficient" and that is the racist component of Nationalism: Trump calls himself a "Nationalist."  Most in his sphere especially Trump, I am guessing, have not a clue what Nationalism means.  It sounds so intellectual though doesn't it?  Trump, indeed, is no intellectual.  He probably learned that term at the feet of Steve Bannon his once philosophical guru or Stephen Miller his extreme right wing racist advisor. 

Nationalism is often racist -- white racist and it is at its heart and most of all a punishing authoritarianism. It appeals to the many in nations who have a racist history and, too, have felt ignored in national policy and perceived by them demeaned and unappreciated in international sentiment.  It rules out of fear of the "other."  Trump calls himself a Nationalist but we know that means white nationalism. Nationalism means for Trump by his own words America First.  America First was used by the Nazi lover and, sad to say, American aviation hero, Charles Lindbergh.  America First adherents do not care whom they hurt or even kill to get what they want.  The followers who call themselves Nationalist must be unquestioning and submissive to the leader and authority. The penalty not to be so or to question him or those in authority to him can be, of course, in Trump's case removal of them from office or in "The Apprentice" like fashion fired! 

Nationalism is ugly; Nationalism was Nazi Germany; Nationalism was Mussolini's Italy and Nationalism was Franco's Spain. It is authoritarian, it is expansionist, it is cruel and it is murderous in its ideological intent. It seeks war and domination of nations and/or alliances with other authoritarian leaders. Democracy is its enemy.  WWII Nationalism at its end killed 50 and some say 70 million human beings world-wide. It makes no pretense about humane policy; it is not humane; it makes no pretense of being all inclusive. It is not all inclusive. It is exclusionary, separatist and racist.  In the US case it is America First but really means the leader and his henchmen first.  Right now the penalty for opposition to the leader is removal from a job or any angry puerile tweet.  Trump has removed so many they cannot be enumerated on a cable TV panels. Most positions in the Trump universe are "acting."  The impermanence of that means the leader Trump can change on a whim persons who occupy that office.  Trump demands total unquestioning loyalty and appoints those like Trump on this Nationalist path. He is singularly trying to destroy our balance of power system, placing the Executive branch Constitutionally first, Congress second and filling the courts with his right wing extremist lackeys whom he can be assured will do his bidding.  It is chilling that in two years he has been successful in near obliteration of this system of government's checks and balances while pitting one American against another stirring simmering racial animosities that heretofore have remained latent or within fringe groups vociferous.  Trump has given these racist groups an equal voice.

In reality we are and should be a global community interconnected in a thousand ways. Yes, we care about our own interests but must compromise and learn to play well with others. Trump's eradication of everything Obama will, I hope, ensure his failure.  Trump is a failure in business, failure in governing, failure in ethics, a failure in marriage, and an egregious failure in telling the truth.  Again RESIST Nationalism at all costs and save the world.
