*** “Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present i. which the Party is aways right.”
[ George Orwell: “1984” ]
We end 2025 with an apology. We”re sorry, but we cannot keep up with the daily drumbeat of damage the Trump DICTATORSHIP is inflicting upon America. Below are SOME of the anti-democratic recent headlines, reflecting on the WIDESPREAD CATASTROPHE and EVIL imposed on Americans by ‘our” government.
1] “How the letter “K” describes the shape of the U.S. economy…The wealthy get richer, the poor struggle more” [Christopher Rugaber; Associated Press; 12/3/25]: “The top 40% of all U.S. consumers are driving two-thirds of all consumption….the wealthiest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of the stock market..” [50 million Americans are food insecure {4/17/25}. 44% of U.S. workers are in low-wage jobs; 60% of U.S. workers live paycheck-to-paycheck. {11/18/25}
2] “The Cost of Care in the Land of Plenty….For many Americans the question may not be ‘how bad is it?”, but rather, can I afford to get this looked at?” [Andrew Tait; The Progressive Populist; January, 2026]. [can. YOU. afford medical care or health insurance in America????????]
3] “White House downplays risks of AI”. {Tony Romm, Colby Smith; New York Times; 12/25/25]. – versus “A.I. Will Displace Workers at a Scale Many don’t Realize”. [Sal Khan; New York Times; 12/28/25]. Jeremy Rifkin’s “The End of Work [1995,2004], and many other analyses showed from DATA that jobs were ALREADY being lost, from manufacturing to white collar jobs. – before A.I. A.I. will only make job loss WORSE, plus many other issues like privacy.
4] “Somber mood at scientists’ annual meeting….Amid cuts, many say American science is suffering under Trump” [Eric Niiler; New York Times; 12/21/25]: “It’s a fundamental disruption of the systems that allow science in this country to function.” “Morris lab down to just 3 scientists….Soils laboratory among many ag science sites gutted by federal cuts” [Christopher Vondracek; Minnesota Star Tribune; 12/30/25]. “Science Under Siege” [Michael Mann, Peter Hotez]. “Fool me Twice….Fighting the Assault on Science in America”. [Shawn Lawrence Otto]. WHY does the radical reactionary R-W attack science? Because science deals in proven FACTS. FACTS are POISON to the Trump DICTATORSHIP.
5] “Bankruptcies soar amid tariffs, inflation….Filings for 2025 reach highest tally since 2010” [Aaron Gregg, Jaclyn Peiser; Washington post; 12/30/25]. Trump’s policies have hurt manufacturing, construction, transportation hardest’; small businesses are hurt, many closing.
6} Get more facts: “Trump’s First Year Back, in 10 Charts” [New York Times; 12/28/25]: ‘..by year’s end, Mr. Trump’s popularity has sunk to historic lows, as many Americans recoiled from his brutality and his extremism. Above all, they fretted about his failure to improve their economic well-being.”
7]. “For DOGE, Big Disruption Returned Meager Savings….Largest Claims Were Wrong and Real Cuts Were Small, Times Analysis Finds”. [Emily Badger, David Fahrenhold, Alicia Parlapiano, Margot Sanger-Katz; New York Times; 12/28/25]: ‘..the group did not do what mr. Musk said it would: reduce federal spending by $1 trillion before October. On DOGE’s watch, federal spending did not go down at all. It went up.” [!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!] And then this: DOGE broke numerous federal privacy laws and policies, often at gunpoint, to acquire YOUR personal data. What did they do with it??? WHO has YOUR personal data – Russians, Chinese, criminals, musk??????? Just perhaps – the REAL DOGE goals were NOT savings. – BUT WERE. – acquisition of YOUR data, destroying independence in the federal government, ruining the federal government. – all enabling the Trump DICTATorship. to do whatever it wants ???????!!!!!!?????
8] “Trump’s Monroe Doctrine Will Tip Our World into Chaos….We are headed for more confrontations, more brinksmanship, more war”. [Greg Grandin; New York Times; 12/21/25]. Trump’s plan could result in 3 big powers ruling the earth; china, Russia, America – back to pre-WW I. “Trump’s vision; A nation unto Itself” [Naftali Bendavid; Washington post Weekly; 12/21/25]: “The problem is that strategic detachmewnt was attainable in the 19th century, it’s not attainable today,” Kupchan said. “This will..ultimately fail because it’s not possible.”
9] “It Matters Who Owns the National Debt, Too…New invstors demand higher returns for lending to the U.S.” {Geng Ngarmboonanant; New York Times; 12/28/25]. Trump’s policies are a threat to trust in U.S.debt because of questions on the independence of the Federal Reserve; predictability of the Treasury, rule of law; international partnerships. This is also important because Trump’s 2017 tax cuts are 25% of U.S.debt; he demanded these cuts be made permanent, and we ALREADY KNOW this will increase U.S. debt by trillions. You – research Republican tax cuts of Reagan, BushII and Trump – see how much they’ve blown up the U.S. debt since 1981
10] “The White House is a Lost Cause”. [ Jamelle Bouie; New York Times; 12/21/25]: Trump often does NOT know what ‘his” administration is doing , on ANYTHING. “He is, by most accounts, isolated from the outside world….rarely meets with ordinary Americans outside the White House….He is uninterested in anyone except his most devoted fans….the work of the White House has been delegated to a handful of high-level advisors..”
Thanks to a corrupt “supreme court,” America is being moved toward implementing “the unitary executive theory”….”Think Bonapartism with an American twist…the president we have isn’t unitary. He has given his newfound power away to a small set of virtually unaccountable advisors, insulated from public outcry and indifferent to public opinion.”
THEN – consider WHO has benefited from the slow erosion of America’s loss of economic affordability from 1981 forward. WHO has, will, benefit from the loss of civil liberties? WHO will benefit from cuts in government services? HINT: – look at pictures of Trump’s 2025 inaugural, see WHO had the most honored seats!!! WHO wrote “Project 2025? – and. – how many of them are in Trump’s administration?????
*** The “Republican Party’ of 2025 is NOT the Republican Party of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower. Since 1981, R-W reactionaries have steadily gained control. They had a blueprint, often derided, said to b too extreme. Backed by R-W billionaires, they have acquired power in the Trump White House. Matthew Dallek’s “Birchers”:
“Trump benefited from the rhetorical and ideological legacy..Birchers had bequeathed to subsequent generations…he campaigned on a set of Birch-toned themes….Trump’s apocalyptic oratory and conspiracy theories helped mobilize supporters and framed his message….The Birch inheritance not only colored Trump’s campaign but also informed his White House agenda….Trump drew energy, as Birchers had, from white supremacists, militias, and nativists and brought them into his coalition….imposing Christian prayer and “Americanist” teachings on public schools – became a plank of the administration’s policy agenda….The Birch Society’s view of public health policies as a statist plot to squash individual liberties entered the conservative mainstream during the Trump administration’s response to ..COVID-19….Trump’s governance helped turn conservative anti-government idology into a government-as-the-enemy, root-of-all-evil philosophy…the so-called deep state..”
***** What is happening to YOU, and other ordinary Americans is NOT an accident. It has already been investigated and described to YOU – Double Pulitzer Prize winners Donald Barlett & James Steele’s. “The Betrayal of the American Dream”; Pulitzer Prize winner Hedrick Smith’s “Who Stole the American Dream?”; Kurt Andersen’s “Evil Geniuses”; prize winner Jane Mayer’s. ‘Dark Money”; and many more.
*** Do YOUR own FACTUAL research: on. WHY YOUR purchasing power has declined since 1973; on people’s incomes, 1947-73. versus. 1981-2025; on top marginal tax rates 1947-73. versus. 1981-2025; on ordinary American’s ability to buy a home. 1947-73. versus. 1981-2025; on WHY ordinary people are NOT having children, none or 1 or 2. versus earlier having families of 2 – 3 -4 kids.
*** Read the Constitution’s Preamble on WHY “We the People’. created the U.S. government: “Union,” “Justice,” “domestic Tranquility,”…….”promote the general Welfare.” This site criticizes the Trump DICTATORSHIP and the Reagan and Bush II governments BECAUSE of their FAILURE to achieve those goals, and, in many cases, of working to sabotage those goals.
