*** “Nothing is more terrible tan ignorance in action.” [ Goethe ]
Below are headlines from ONE day. – discussing the STUPIDITY, INCOMPETENCE, CRUELTY, RECKLESSNESS. leading to undermining and damaging America by Trump DICTATORSHIP actions:
1]. “Justices cast doubt on bid to fire Cook”. – because it would “weaken, if not shatter, the independence of the Federal Reserve.” {Mark Sherman; Assoc. Press; 1/22/26]
2]. “In Ist year of his second term. Trump leaves economic stamp”. – “an all-out assault on many of the institutions and policy paradigms that have long been seen by leaders of both major parties as the foundation of American economic strength.” [ Ben Casselman; New York Times; 1/22/26 ]
3]. “Social Security data bared by DOGE”. – “confirms concerns among career government employees and data security experts that DOGE’s chaotic access to sensitive government data risks sharing this data broadly…without knowing what data was exposed or who has seen it..” [ Eileen Sullivan; New York Times; 1/22/26 ]
4]. “Off-duty police officer boxed in by federal agents”. – “Bruley and fellow law enforcement personnel spoke against what they say is a spate of racial profiling by federal immigration agents..” [ Allison Kitel; Minnesota Star Tribune; 1/22/26]
5]. “Gap in ICE ‘worst case'”. – “Homeland Security has released the names of only about 240 immigrants arrested”; nearly ALL had served time and were “not actively wanted by police..” [ total people arrested is about 3,000 !!!]. [Christopher Magan, Jeff Hargarten; Minnesota Star Tribune; 1/22/26 ]
6]. “Refugees with legal status being detained” – 5600 Minnesota refugees “who have gone through a robust screening process and are on a pathway to citizenship.” [ Susan Du; Minnesota Star Tribune; 1/22/26 ]
7]. “Russia observes Greenland with glee” – “state media praises Trump’s goal as historic…it weakens the European Union and NATO…takes some of the West’s attention away from Russia’s war in Ukraine.” [ Dasha Litvinova; Associated Press; 1/22/26 ] {Trump is sabotaging THE most effective alliance in world history}
8]. “Canada Elbows Up On Global Stage”. – “PM gets standing ovation at Davos for firm talk about the U.S….calling the current phase ‘a rupture..” [ Matina Stevis-Gridneff, Ian Austen; New York Times; 1/22/26 ]

Look over the above again, and THINK. – what this mea”coldns not only now but years from now. “Our” 13-year old P.R. performance president does NOT think long-term, cares little for details, and – as a Pulitzer Prize winner said – thinks ONLY of himself. And – reflect on the following:
A] “But economists from across the ideological spectrum warn that Trump is setting the country on a path hat will, in the long run, leave the economy less dynamic, the financial system less stable and Americans less prosperous in the decades ahead…. “We’re weakening the special sauce that made America great,” said Kimberly A. Clausing…. Vance Ginn, who was chief economist in the Office of Management and Budget during Trump’s first term…said the benefits of those moves are outweighed by the costs of its policies on trade and immigration, its failure to rein in the federal deficit and its intervention in the private sector.” [ Ben Casselman; New York Times; 1/22/26 ]
B] “Three top Catholic clerics decry U.S. foreign policy”….’..American “moral role in confronting evil” is put in jeopardy, they say.”… “is in question for the first time in decades..” [ Ruth Graham; New York Times; 1/22/26 ]
C] “Trump insults Minnesota Somalis at Davos” – “Trump directly questioned the intelligence of members of the community…Some near the front of the audience groaned loudly.” [ News Services; 1/22/26 ]
*** “A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.” [ James 1:8 ]
THINK about other facts:
1] America was on the winning side of several 20th century wars, hot and “cold”. – BECAUSE we had friends and allies; BECAUSE. American treasure and blood were spent defending freedom and other nations
2]. American “soft power” conquered the world – music, movies, freedom, openness, accepting immigrants ans scientists, economic opportunity. We did NOT go out of our way to make enemies.
3] Look at NUMBERS. – not rhetoric. – expert, mainstream, bipartisan. analysis of many, if not most, Trump DICTATORSHIP. policies, shows they will NOT. ‘Make America Great Again.” But will, numerically, make America weaker, less prosperous, less stable. Listed above, YOU have only ONE day’s worth of the STUPIDITY, INCOMPETENCE, DESTRUCTIVENESS. of ‘our’ 13-year old president and the radical reactionary Rasputins around him. America has now endured 365 days of this INCOMPETENCE and STUPIDITY.
***. “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” [ Proverbs 29:18]
THINK also when the Founders created the United States, the goal was to have a government that was intended to “..promote the general Welfare..” This is NOT a goal of the Trump DICTATORSHIP.
“You shall love your neighbor as yourself…The stranger that dwells with you shall be to you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself.” [Leviticus 19: 18, 34] This is NOT a goal of the Trump DICTATORSHIP.
