1]. “Tribal Leaders Say ICE Is Detaining Natives”. [Susan Du; Minnesota Star Tribune; 1/13/26]: “When ICE detained four homeless men who had been living under a bridge in Minneapolis, they took members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, according to the tribe’s president….ICE detained a Red Lake descendant..after pulling him from his car..Roberto Ramirez was released after his mother..provided his birth certificate….On Friday, federal agents blocked her truck..tried to open her door, demanded she roll down her window and threatened to break it when she didn’t comply. Members of the Many Shields Society, a community security force, ran up blowing whistles and honking their car horns. The agents retreated. At one point in the altercation, which was recorded and widely shared, Dionne-Thunder’s husband, Vinny Dionne, told the agent they were on Native land, to which the agent pointed to himself and said no, it was their land..”

3] “an 18-year old Guyanese U.S. citizen had just finished a quick stop at a gas station near Hamline University in St. Paul when federal immigration agents approached him and demanded identification….The December 12 encounter is among several in which U.S. citizens were stopped or detained by federal immigration agents despite asserting their citizenship…..”I think it’s the first time a population that’s overwhelmingly U.S. citizens are being harassed on U.S. streets..”…..U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar said a similar encounter happened to her 20-year old son, who was born in the United States, has had multiple prior encounters..” [Emmy Martin, Sofia Barnett, Louis Krauss: “As stops continue, fears of racial profiling are growing”; Minnesota Star Tribune; 12/18/25]

4] “The killing of Renee Nicole Good, a mother of three and widow of a military veteran, tests that assumption. ICE, said Ellison, is all about telling people, “‘ You want to defend your neighbors, you’re going to do it at the risk of your own life.’ I think that’s the unmistakable message. Just looking at the tape, hey could have said, ‘You get out of here,’ right? And then she gets out of there. they don’t want her to get out of there. They wanted to either drag her out of that car or do what they did. And it was all about teaching lessons.” [Michelle Goldberg: “No One Is Safe From ICE”; New York Times; 1/11/26]
5] “Martinez survived, only for the Justice Department to charge HER with assaulting a federal officer. Her lawyers soon discovered that Exum had been boasting about the shooting in text messages. In one, he wrote, “I fired 5 rounds, and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.” In another, he said, “Sweet. My fifteen mins of fame. Lmao.” [Goldberg]
6]. “All of us, citizens and immigrants alike, are being ruled by people who think life is a privilege bestowed by authority, and death is a fair penalty for disobedience.” [ Goldberg ]
7] “In the imagination of some on the right, Good quickly came to stand for all the grating Resistance moms they’d like to see crushed. Fox News sneered that Good was a ‘self-proclaimed poet”. – she’s the winner of a prestigious poetry award. – “with pronouns in her bio.” The conservative radio hst Erick Erickson described her as an ‘AWFUL,” or “Affluent White Female Urban Liberal.” [ Goldberg ]
8] “Exum’s giddy sadism shouldn’t have been surprising; it reflects the culture the administration is encouraging among its immigration enforcers. In one ICE recruiting ad, an agent mans a mounted gun atop some sort of militarized vehicle, with the words, “Destroy the flood.” It was a reference to the video game Halo, where players must kill hostile space aliens. Another shows sword-wielding knights with the words, “The enemies are at the gates.” [Goldberg]

The Trump Dictatorship – Stupidity, Cruelty, Corruption, Craziness, CII – The Death in Minneapolis, II – and More
*** “Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law.” [Justice Louis Brandeis]
Details and events are still unfolding in the Twin City area concerning the shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent. Other effects and indignities continue to be imposed. Many AMERICAN CITIZENS are now carrying around passports and other official I.D. – as people continue to confronted by masked, armed thugs in unmarked cars. This post provides a few more – some of which have implications around America.
1] There is a growing problem created by ICE thug activities: state and local law enforcement are presented with a “no-win” situation. ICE has become. “TOXIC.” This toxicity threatens to undermine law enforcement all over America. Please consider some thoughts raised:
2] “Tensions Rise Among Law Enforcement Agencies”. [Shaila Dewan, Chris Hippensteel; New York Times; 1/11/26]
– “Normally, federal, state and local law enforcement are on the same side, investigating crimes, sharing leads, and tracking down suspects. But under the Trump administration, tensions between some local and federal officials have intensified
– “Cooperation between federal authorities and state and local enforcement is essential to holding drug gangs, other violent criminals and white-collar offenders accountable..”
– “More broadly, federal agents have traditionally notified local authorities of most planned operations, both as a matter of courtesy and safety.”
– “It’s breaking down not only, obviously, on the immigration side, but to the point where the ICE brand becomes so toxic that the state and locals don’t feel like they can cooperate even on the things where there would be widespread public support,” he said.”
– “Police leaders expressed fears that ICE tactics cast a shadow on the professionalism of their officers and would undo their efforts to gain public trust.”
[Read this again, then read the entire article.. Read the comments by PROFESSIONAL American law enforcement personnel.]
3]. “One of the major concerns many of us had when the FBI was ordered to join in on these immigration operations was that it would create an implicit conflict of interest if we ever had to conduct a use-of-force or civil rights investigation of the other involved agencies..” [Glenn Thrush: “Early Comments Cast Doubts Over ICE Inquiry”; New York Times; 1/11/26]
4] “Lawmakers are denied access to ICE facility” [Kristi Miller; St. Paul Pioneer Press; l/11/26]: Three U.S. Representatives were kicked out of a federal detention facility at Fort Snelling. They’d been granted permission, but “higher ups” ordered them kicked out!!! This in spite of a December court ruling affirming Congress’ authoroity to conduct oversight.
***. “When people are disappeared into the darkness, American democracy dies….they are disappearing U.S. citizens, people who have proper documentations..” [ U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar ]
5] “A close examination of the shooting of Renee Good”. [Greta Kaul, Jake Steinberg, Amanda Anderson, Anna Boone, Jake Lovett: Minnesota Star Tribune; 1/11/26]. On pages 8 and 9, a 12- frame sequence is presented with explanation. Photos “were source from. X. Satellite imagery is from Google Earth.” Picture #2 is Renee Good, her window down, one arm out the window, a smiling non-terrorist expression. If in ANY. doubt about what circumstances were and what happened, this will likely help YOU understand THE TRUTH.
6] “New video shows ICE agent’s view” {Mitch Smith, Hamed Aleaziz, Julie Bosman; New York Times; 1/11/26]: Minnesota State Representative Aisha Gomez “said the release of the footage was “clearly designed to be like, ‘Look at these terrible people who are interfering with law enforcement. Don’t they deserve to get executed in the middle of the street in the United States of America?” “The answer,’ she said, was, “no, they don’t”
SO – my fellow Americans – THIS. is THE. question: does an ordinary American citizen, when confronted by law enforcement. “deserver to get executed in the middle of the street in the United states of America?” Would YOU???
And, disruptive things keep happening, courtesy of ICE. A woman was videoed trying to talk to an ICE thug – he put his hand up against her phone, said something like this: “Haven’t you learned..” !!!!!! HAVEN’T YOU. LEARNED – we can do anything we want, no regular police practices, no law can stop us. After ICE thugs were on/around school grounds – local schools canceled classes for two days, games were canceled, a “Senior Night ” wrestling team celebration was canceled. “They’re a little confused as to why this is happening..They didn’t grow up with Jim Crow and institutionalized racism…” [ Joe Christensen: “High school athlete’s lives upended by ICE surge”; Minnesota Star Tribune; 1/12/26]
Perhaps – “all the criminals”. will soon be arrested and deported – so America will be “safe”?????
***. “The most odious of all oppressions are those which mask as justice.” [ Justice Robert Jackson ]

*** “The Party told you to reject the evidence in your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
[ George Orwell: “1984” ]
Nothing better illustrates the cruelty and dishonesty of the Trump DICTATORSHIP more than the ICE operation – in concept [based on the BIG LIE] that immigrants are all criminals and job-taking welfare recipients. And. – the manner in which armed, masked government thugs are assaulting American CITIZENS, smashing car windows, violating long established American police practices, creating chaos and fear among American CITIZENS. The murder in Minneapolis, the attempt to cover up all evidence. – stands as a monument to the EVIL the Trump DICTATORSHIP is daily perpetrating.
***. “Truth is the most precious thing. That is why we should ration it.” [ Lenin ]
Details are still being evaluated, but this is what is known on January 10 so far:
1] From a video evaluation by Devon Lum [New York Times; 1/8/26]: “The videos show the driver wave one vehicle by. When a truck with flashing lights approaches, she waves again, but the truck stops and federal agents emerge. Two step out and move toward the driver’s side door. The agents tell the driver to get out. {Question: why don’t they just tell her to drive away???] One ..tries to open the driver’s side door.. a third agent crosses in front of the Honda..the driver begins to reverse, turning away from the agents. Immediately after the Honda shifts from reverse to drive and begins to move ahead, hat agent at the front of the vehicle, standing near the driver’s side headlight, pulls out a gun…The Honda moves forward, turning to the right. The agent aiming the gunfires..continues to shoot as the vehicle moves past him.”
NOTE: The agent “in fear of his life” is standing by the LEFT side of the car, the car turns to the RIGHT, the agent fires as “the vehicle moves PAST HIM.” ]
*** “If the facts say otherwise, the facts must be altered.” [ George Orwell: “1984” ]
2] One prominent federal official immediately labeled all this as “an act of domestic terrorism.” Consider this: “Her ex-husband said she was no activist and that h had never known her to participate in a protest of any kind. He described her as a devoted Christian..” [Michael Biesecker, Jim Mustian: “‘Wife and mother’ died in new neighborhood”; Associated Press; 1/9/26]
*** “Orthodoxy means not thinking – not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.” [George Orwell: “1984”]
3] “Experts see questionable use of force”. [Jeffrey Meitrodt, Emmy Martin; Minnesota Star Tribune; 1/9/26]. The Star Tribune spoke to five legal experts on this case. “Four of the experts who spoke to the Star Tribune had seen the videos that documented the encounter. None of the experts said the available evidence proved the shooting was justified.” The article also contains expert commentary on standard police procedures in situations like this. Police officers are told to NOT shoot into a moving vehicle.
***. “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever.” [George Orwell: ‘1984″]
4] “Feds block state BCA from shooting inquiry”. [Mara Gottfried, Alex Derosier; St. Paul Pioneer Press; 1/9/26]: “After the Wednesday morning shooting, there was consultation with the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI, according to a BCA statement. It was decided the BCA’s Force Investigations Unit would conduct a joint investigation with the FBI.” The Minnesota BCA began investigating. – then that afternoon the FBI told the BCA the U.S. Attorney’s Office had reversed course – the Minnesota BCA was OUT!!!!! ONLY the federal government would “investigate” !!!!!
***. “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” [George Orwell: “1984”]
5] All of the above occurred before another video [1/9/26], apparently shot by an ICE agent’s body camera. – shows the victim, Renee Good, and her partner – who was outside the car on foot. – smiling and relaxed, talking comfortably with ICE agents. A “domestic terrorist” does NOT do this, a person intending to hurt an ICE agent does NOT do this. There is NO. WAY. this video can be explained away. – BUT the Trump DICTATORSHIP will try mightily.
*** “They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
[ Benjamin Franklin ]
SO. – YOU tell us. – what do YOU think the chances are for the REAL truth. – as told by several videos, by bystanders at the scene itself. – emerging from THE ONLY OFFICIAL REPORT being allowed, given to YOU by the same government that is responsible for the shooting????? From a ‘government” run by a person falsely claiming the 2020 election was “stolen”????? From the same person who dispensed 30,000 plus DOCUMENTED LIES in his first term????? From a president who demands “loyalty” above all else????? From a president who’s already tried to extinguish every bit of independent accountability in the federal government????? From a “government” that has already made its. – FALSE. – conclusions on he shooting?????

The Trump DICTATORSHIP – Stupidity, Cruelty, Corruption, Craziness, C. – “Jan. 6 Was Just The Start”
***. BUT – it wasn’t: “…the four ways in which Republicans have been hacking away at the foundations of democracy and civil society for a quarter century: their war on truth, their growing exploitation of racism and white supremacy, their sabotage of the institutions and norms of government, and their dehumanizing of opponents and stoking of violence….And in the process, they murdered democracy.” [ Dana Milbank: “The Destructionists’ ]
This post presents excerpts from “Jan. 6 Was Just The Start” [New York Times editorial; 1/4/26]. Please read the entire article. Please continue to support the TRUTH about January 6, 2021. Powerful forces want to RE-WRITE January 6 history. – an ambitious project because the world saw the actual events; perps confessed; even Mitch McConnell immediately laid the blame on Donald John Trump [before he recanted!!!]. In trials all over America, perps confessed, were given jail time. But then – this is what authoritarians do: re-write history [Jason Stanley: “Erasing History…How Fascists Rewrite The Past To control The Future”]
*** “The accumulation of all power, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”
[ James Madison, Founder, 4th U.S. President ]
13] “Once..[Trump]..was elected, his post-Jan. 6 experience inspired his administration’s goals and methods. he and his aides concluded that intimidation and lawlessness could yield victories even in seemingly unwinnable and sometimes illegal circumstances.” [N.Y. Times editorial]
8] “THe shocking part of the story was the response of so many other people in government, media and business.”
6]. “Over the next several years, Jan. 6 became a “day of love” in Mr. Trump’s telling: The rioters were “patriots,” and those detained were “hostages’ whose suffering compared to that of Japanese Americans interned during World War II. He made common cause with the most extreme elements of his coalition to manipulate history. Together, they rallied right-wing media to their cause, silenced all but a few Republican critics and intimidated corporate leaders into complicity.”
15] “The pardons issue a message: If you break the law to protect me, you will be supported, and if you uphold the law to restrain me, you will be persecuted.”
*** “The Republican Party is held aloft by a large, powerful, and ever-growing industry of deceit. The purpose of much of conservative media is to lie to their audience. It is fitting that at the heart of the Trump presidency itself is a lie: Almost every Republican elected official in Washington knows Donald Trump is unfit to be president.” [ Stuart Stevens: “It Was All A Lie”]
1]. “It was a day that should live in infamy. Instead, it was the day President Trump’s second term began to take shape…was indeed a turning point, but not the one it first seemed to be. It was a turning point toward a version of mr. Trump who is even more lawless than the one who governed the country in his first term. It heralded a culture of political unaccountability, in which people who violently attacked Congress and beat police officers escaped without lasting consequences.”
2] “The politicians and pundits who had egged on the attack with their lies escaped, as well. The aftermath of Jan. 6 made the Republican Party even more feckless, beholden to one man and willing to pervert reality to serve his interests.”
3]. “All this would have been hard to conceive for many Americans five years ago. Disgust was bipartisan for a time because so many episodes of that day seemed unforgettable.”
4] “The victims who suffered the worst violence were the police officers protecting the Capitol.”
5]. “Mr. Trump made possible the lawlessness. After he lost the 2020 election, he spent weeks peddling the lie that he had rightfully won. He encouraged state officials to ‘find” votes for him or simply appoint electors loyal to him.”
*** “so long as men worship the Caesars and Napoleons, Caesars and napoleons will duly arise and make them miserable.” [ Aldous Huxley ]
7] “This behavior, though inexcusable, was not shocking. it fir with Mr. Trump’s character, as both a businessman and a politician who has long pursued his self-interest without legal or ethical restraint.”
9]. “..on Jan. 12, Senator Mitch McConnell, then the Republican leader, “has concluded that President Trump committed impeachable offenses…”
10] “…handed Republicans control of the House, and they abandoned any Jan. 6 accountability…Instead, they began investigating their colleagues who had attempted to bring justice to mr. Trump.”
11] “The legal system also took some steps to fill the accountability gap. But it moved slowly and ineffectively.”
12]. “With the political and legal systems failing to punish him, much of the rest of the country started to move on. Business leaders made excuses for him. The conservative media establishment promoted him again and cheered on the purge of Republicans who had criticized this role in Jan. 6.”
*** “Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted, when we tolerate what we know is wrong, when we close our eyes and ears to the corrupt because we are too busy or too frightened, when we fail to speak out, we strike a blow against freedom and decency and justice.” [ Robert F. Kennedy, Senior ]
14]. “On the first day of his second term, Mr. Trump granted clemency to all of the nearly 1,600 people charged or convicted in connection with jan. 6. The group included hundreds of defendants found to have assaulted law enforcement officers.”
16] “The thuggishness extends far beyond the people who were directly involved in Jan. 6 cases. The legacy of that day has taught Mr. Trump how to use power more aggressively to advance his interests. In his second term, he has surrounded himself with officials who accede to his lawless demands.”
17]. “Mr. Trump has also learned that congressional Republicans will bow to him even when he treats them with contempt or ignores the Constitution.”
18] “Mr. Trump likewise plays the courts more successfully than in his first term. The Supreme Court has helped him..”
19]. “Again and again, Mr. Trump dares the system to stop him.”
*** “Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law…no court can save it..”
[Judge Learned Hand]
The question of IF America has a real democracy on January 20, 2029. – is up to. YOU. Speak up, protest, organize. Above all – vote out EVERY Republican on November 3, 2026. If Trump has control of Congress. – it may be over. The Far Right blueprint is there in “Project 2025,” some of its authors have power in theTrump DICTATORSHIP. They WILL NOT STOP. attempting to create a PLUTOCRATIC THEOCRACY. – the billionaires behind Trump will demand it; the Christian nationalists behind Trump will demand it; his fearful, misinformed base will demand it.
This site has now published 100 “The Trump DICTATORSHIP” posts in 350 days of Trump’s authoritarian, lawless, reckless, anti-democratic reign. We apologize for not doing more. if we did, besides sleep and eating, we’d pretty much have done nothing else in 2025 than provide YOU with factual evidence of the monstrous depravity of the Trump DICTATORSHIP.
The “Project2025′ strategy was to hit the ground running. They announced the writing of many “executive orders” prior to Trump taking office. Part of their known strategy is to “flood the zone” – do so many things that people can’t keep up. With a CORRUPT Roberts ‘supreme court” of Republican political hacks, there is only Congress to restrain the Trump DICTATORSHIP – and we already know they live in fear, for careers, for their and their family’s safety.
Fear is a BIG part of the “Project 2025” Trumpian strategy – they’ve announced it. Part of the plan is to use YOUR government against YOU. This has already been demonstrated in multiple ways. Fear of persecution. Fear of losing funding. Fear of having your business ruined. Fear of having your career/job lost. This is how DICTATORSHIPS operate.
So. – yes, January 6, 2021, was, “Only Just A Start.’ IF – YOU permit it. Are YOU going to permit it?????????

Today is January 6 – “..a date that will live in infamy.” People inspired by Donald John Trump [they confessed to it] attempted a coup; trashed the U.S. Capitol; injured and killed police officers.

Donald Trump is known as a person who relishes revenge; known for trying to inflict twice as much punishment upon his “enemies” as he received; known for having been accused of racism; known for insulting and demeaning people; known for nursing grievances; known for pardoning people who hurt and defrauded others; . Some have said Trump NEEDS enemies – people he can attack. Trump’s 10 years on the American political scene have featured meanness, negativity, cruelty largely unrestrained by ANY former norms of decency and civility. this post will offer a VERY small sample of Trump’s numerous cruelties.

AGAIN – this site reminds YOU of the Founders’ original intents when they created the new American government: “We the People”. created a government to “..form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility….promote the general Welfare..”
THIS is THE test YOU should apply to ANY American government, including then Trump DICTATORSHIP. We criticize the Trump DICTATORSHIP because it has demonstrated by its own rhetoric, actions, policies, laws. – that it FAILS the Founders’ goals. Which, if ANY, Trump policies perfect the American Union,…establish Justice…insure domestic Tranquility…promote the general Welfare ?????????????
Because the Trump DICTATORSHIP is intent on achieving the goals of “PROJECT 2025.” it CANNOT achieve the goals the Founders established in the American Constitution

*** “The least deviation from truth will be multiplied later.” [ Aristotle ]
This post presents three”letters to the editor”. from January 3, 2026 isssue of Minnesota Star. Tribune, concerning accusations of “billions” in fraud. YOUR. thoughtful examination is requested on the observations of three “ordinary people”:
1] “On Monday, the public’s xenophobic outrage from an unethical YouTuber sharing unfounded accusations of fraud emboldened President Trump to pledge to cut federal funds to the state of Minnesota, a move that could cause the child care sector to collapse….Child care is a failed market system: Parents can’t afford the true cost and average profits are 1% nationally…”
“..child care is the work behind the workforce…the 23,000 children receiving child care assistance in Minnesota will not get the care they need…will prevent kindergarten readiness, cause parents to become jobless and render families unhoused..”
“..I imagine Minnesota will be the first but not the last to have child care axed..we have their playbook. Project 2025 wants to push women out of the workforce, and what better way to achieve that than to sabotage the child care sector?”
[ C. F. ]
***. “Any excuse will serve a tyrant.” [ Aesop ]
2] “Disregarding whether fraud was or wasn’t committed, i find it odd that some people seem to think it’s suspicious that he was denied entry to these child care facilities when he. showed up unannounced, with no credentials and no valid reason to be there…No one who is not an employee or a parent/guardian of a child being cared for there should be allowed in. Two strangers with a camera crew? Absolutely not. The only businesses that should lose their licenses over this are the ones who did let them in.” [ P. S. ]
*** “Instead of clearing his own heart, the zealot tries to clear the world.” [ Joseph Campbell ]
3] “Please allow me to attempt a thought exercise to see if I have the Republican thought process understood.
“Medical facilities receive taxpayer dollars via Medicaid assistance to their patients. If I were angry about this and I drove by a clinic at a time when they were closed and filmed the empty lot and locked doors, this proves fraud?”
“If I went to a different clinic and they were open and I demanded to see patient files that they refused to show me, that would be proof of fraud?”
“If I went to a pediatrician’s office during business hours and started filming the children in the room until I was thrown out…that’s definitely also fraud but not an invasion of children’s privacy…?”
“..everything is obviously the fault of Gov. Tim Walz and no one in the nearly equally split Legislature. This much i know for certain, for President Donald Trump tells me so.” [ A. S. ]
***. “When it comes to conspiracy, everything is permissible.” [ Napoleon ]
Then – please consider the following:
4] “Pandemic-era fraud occurred in all 50 states.” [Phil Morris: “Minnesota’s fraud reckoning enters the influencer era”; Minnesota Star Tribune; 12/31/ 25] SO. – can we therefore assume that we’ll soon see the Trump administration cutting off aid to 49 other states?, or, perhaps just ‘blue’ states, or, perhaps…………………??????
***. “The most odious of all oppressions are those which mask as justice.” [ Justice Robert Jackson ]
5] “A 43-minute video…viewed by millions…has also set off a series of events that show the symbiotic relationship between the Trump administration and self-described journalists….highlights the way the White House seeds narratives about key issues, then rewards sympathetic craetors who deliver viral content.” [ Ken Bensinger, Ernesto Londono: “Viral video sparks intense response”; New York Times; 1/1/26] SO – do YOU think that Joseph Goebbels, and, quite likely also, “Big Brother,” just might be clapping in great glee – admiring how a DICTATORSHIP in America manages to drive and control “the news.” ????? !!!!! ?????
SO !!!!! – Do YOU think that a man who ORDERED Republicans in congress to vote against a bi-partisan immigration bill crafted by a very conservative Senator, so he could run against immigration in the 2024 election. – would. – try to conjure up a variety of ‘issues’ so he can maintain HIS Congressional majority in the November 3, 2026 elections ???? !!!! ????? Nobody would stoop that low, right ?????

The Trump DICTATORSHIP – Stupidity, Cruelty, Corruption, Craziness, LXXXXVII. – America Pays A Very Big Price for NOT Having Leaders With Character
*** “Good moral character is the first essential in a man.” [ George Washington, 12/5/1790 ]
This post is primarily built around “When character no longer matters, power becomes the only credential” [Jack Leslie, Ward Brehm; Minnesota Star Tribune; 1/1/26};
1]. “The language of our politics has grown reckless, inflammatory rhetoric and casual cruelty are no longer fringe phenomena; they have crept into the mainstream of our public life. When leaders treat fellow Americans as targets rather than citizens, the damage extends far beyond any single remark. It signals a failure of character, more than ideology, that determines whether a republic endures.”
***. “When the late J. P. Morgan was asked what he considered the best bank collateral, he replied, “Character.”
2] “A democracy can survive ideological disagreement. It can survive bad policy. It can even survive bad leaders – for a time. What it cannot survive is the steady erosion of character as a governing requirement.” [Leslie, Brehm]
***. “Nothing is more essential to the establishment of manners in a State than that all persons employed in places of power and trust must be men of unexceptionable character.” [ Samuel Adams, 1775 ]
3] “A month after the inauguration, thirty-five psychiatrists wrote a letter to the editor of the New York Times: “We believe that the grave emotional instability indicated by Mr. Trump’s speech and actions makes him incapable of serving safely as President.” [ Pulitzer Prize winner David Cay Johnston: “It’s Even Worse Than You Think” ]
***. “The most important thing for a young man is to establish a credit – a reputation, character.” [ John D. Rockefeller ]
4] “We are watching behavior once considered disqualifying become routine; rising intolerance, habitual dishonesty, contempt for democratic norms and the deliberate exploitation of division for political gain. – one rationalization at a time.” [ Leslie, Brehm ]
*** “Character is the only secure foundation of the state.” [ Calvin Coolidge, Republican U.S. 30th President ]
5] “History is clear: Democracies rarely collapse in a single dramatic moment. They weaken gradually as standards erode, boundaries blur and citizens are conditioned to accept conduct they once would have rejected outright. The danger is not chaos. The danger is normalization.” [ Leslie, Brehm ]
*** “The best index to a person’s character is [a] how he treats people who can’t do him any good, and [b] how he treats people who can’t fight back.” [ Abigail Van Buren ]
6] “A democracy can survive bad leaders. It cannot survive citizens who excuse them. When character no longer matters, power becomes the only credential. – and history tells us exactly where that leads.” [ Leslie, Brehm ]
*** The qualities of a great man are “vision, integrity, courage, understanding, the power of articulation,, and a profundity of character.” [ Dwight D. Eisenhower, World War II General, Republican 34th U.S. President ]
7] “So here is the demand: Refuse to fund politicians of either party who abuse power, distort the truth or enforce ideology through coercion rather than persuasion. Withdraw your money. Withdraw your vote. Demand civility, integrity and restraint – and vote out those who refuse to meet that standard.” [ Leslie, Brehm ]
***. “Strength of character means the ability to overcome resentment against others, to hide hurt feelings, and to forgive quickly.” [ Lawrence Lovasik ]
8]. “Every generation is tested. this is ours. the question is no longer what we believe, but what we are willing to refuse.” [ Leslie, Brehm ]
SO. – YOU tell me, just how would YOU judge Donald John Trump, and the people around him, his donors, people who wrote “Project 2025,” people in his administration carrying out his policies in general – including those that hurt American citizens? In the light of tenets of good character. – how do YOU judge the INTENT of the Trump administration’s rhetoric, actions, policies? In the light of good character how does one evaluate Trump’s 2017 tax cuts for the obscenely rich – and, his insistence these tax cuts be made permanent in 2025? HOW do these tax cuts “…promote the general Welfare..” [u.S. Constitution]???
*** “When wealth is lost; when health is lost; something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.” [Billy Graham]
9] “Trump says he does not see any reason to seek divine forgiveness because he has done nothing wrong in his entire life, an oft-made observation..” [ Pulitzer Prize winner David Cay Johnston: “The making Of Donald Trump” ]
*** “I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty.” [ Adolf Hitler ]
The Trump DICTATORSHIP – Stupidity, Cruelty, Corruption, Craziness, LXXXXVI. – Trump’s. Radical50 million Americans. Reactionary Incompetence
*** “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.
***. “The least deviation from truth will be multiplied later.” [ Aristotle ]
The Trump DICTATORSHIP – Stupidity,, Cruelty, Corruption, Craziness, LXXXXV – The new “Trump-class”. Battleships !!!!!!!!!!!
*** “Ignorance, when it is voluntary, is criminal.” [ Samuel Johnson ]
Trump’s 2025 “Christmas gift” to America is……..a new ‘golden fleet’. of naval warships featuring mammoth 35,000 ton. “Trump-class” battleships !!! This is a stereotypical Trump project because it displays. his STUPIDITY, his HISTORICAL IGNORANCE, his ARROGANCE.
In rendering this judgment, please consider the following pieces of evidence:
1] America turned the tide of World War II in the Pacific at the battle of Midway. American planes sunk four Japanese carriers. The Japanese never recovered.
2] The mighty German battleship, the Bismarck, was disabled by a British Swordfish torpedo, then sunk by naval gunfire.
3] In December, 1941, the Japanese sank the British battleship “Prince of Wales” and battlecruiser “Repulse” by airplane attacks.
4]. Ukraine has forced the Russian Black Sea fleet to retreat to a more remote Russian port further away from the war zone. – by using drones !!!
5]. The biggest warships in the current Chinese navy are “Type 055 Renhai-class” destroyers, often called cruisers – which are listed at 13,000 tons.
Read the above again. Now. – think about Trump’s 35,000 ton TARGETS.
Read the following analysis from retired Rear Admiral Mark Montgomery: He said. “the ships are behemoths ill-suited to confront China”…. said the Navy instead needed a dispersed fleet of minimally manned or unmanned ships with large weapons magazines to combat the Chinese threats at sea. “These ‘battleships’ will achieve none of these tactical goals,” said Montgomery.” [ “Trump announced new ‘golden fleet’ of warships named after himself”. [ Zolan Kanno-Youngs, Eric Schmitt, John Ismay; New York Times; 12/24/25 ]
Trump’s. “vision”. – is, as usual. – STUPIDITY. and. ARROGANCE – plus his well-known ego mania of naming a building or institution after HIMSELF. Now it’s American warships
The. VICTIMS:
1] American taxpayers. [except billionaires]. who are forced to pay for these worthless ships
2] American sailors who’ll be assigned to these floating BIG. TARGETS.
3]. American citizens who actually think Trump has ‘improved” American defense. – when it actuality. – he’ll have weakened it. – money wasted, money NOT going into modern weapons
This is one more instance of THE COST TO AMERICA of having a 13-year old as “our” president.
***. “Self-deception once yielded to, all other deceptions follow naturally more and more.” [ Thomas Carlyle ]
***. “I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do.” [ Donald John Trump: “The Art of The Deal” ]
The Trump DICTATORSHIP – Stupidity, Cruelty, Corruption, Craziness, LXXXXIV – Trump’s Storm Troopers, and What It Says About America
***. “The best political weapon is the weapon of terror. Cruelty commands respect. Man may hate us. But we don’t ask for their love; only their fear.” { Reichsfuhrer SS, Heinrich Himmler ]
“Dystopian Nightmare: Storm Troopers in the Carolinas…Homeland Security cops – gunpoint assaults” [ Hal Crowther; The Progressive Populist; January, 2026 ]:
1] “You can’t really experience the deep bone-chill of police-state fascism until it reaches your neighborhood. This stunning, court-defying immigration purge, with armed, masked thugs authorized to abuse and kidnap anyone who looks Hispanic, has come to central North Carolina….Hundreds have been arrested and detained, agents have smashed car windows and thrown women to the ground.”
2] “No charges were filed against any of these victims – all three turned out to be American citizens. Imagine your reaction if your own government turned on you so violently, so irrationally.”
***!!!***!!!*** THIS. – is the CORE ISSUE. “Imagine YOUR reaction if YOUR own government turned on YOU..”
3] “One of my greatest disappointments is that when a cruel, stupid leader like President Trump is calling the shots, so many ordinary soldiers are ready to answer the call.”
4] “If the resistance and the rule of law should fail and a constitutional democracy collapses into some kind of fear-ravaged police state, the autumn of 2025 will be remembered as the moment when our dam broke. These aren’t just civil rights but human rights that have been flagrantly violated.”
***. “Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law.”
[ Justice Lous Brandeis ]
5] “The shameless lie that the federal storm troopers are only pursuing “the worst of the worst” is contradicted by every reported statistic. Of the 600-plus immigrants arrested in Chicago, only 16 had any criminal records, and two of them were for drunk driving. if law enforcement was truly focused on “the worst of the worst,” it could find most of them on that huge list of thugs and insurrectionists Trump has pardoned..”
6]. “In some cozy corner of Hell, Adolf Hitler is smiling. “Those damn Americans destroyed me,” the Fuhrer is thinking, “but now they’re admitting I was right.” He might even note that the Trump administration has requested a list, including contact information, of Jewish students, faculty members and employees of the University of Pennsylvania – ostensibly to “protect’ them…”
7] “Welcome to the Fourth Reich.”
*** “He that despised his neighbor sins.” [ Proverbs 14:21 ]
8] “Its not just our laws and constitution that Trump vandalizes, but our codes of civil decency and acceptable behavior. Anyone who still pretends that the president isn’t crazy is ignoring his outburst at a White House reporter who was trying to question the Saudi prince. – “Quiet. Quiet, Piggy?”
9] “For those of us who suspected that he was a Russian agent all along, here’s a foreign policy update, too. A United Nations resolution that condemned Russia for the war in Ukraine, drafted by the European Union, was rejected by only 18 of 176 nations. The negative bloc included Russia, Belarus, north Korea – and the United States.” [!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
Question: What’s the difference between. the Nazi Gestapo, the Soviet KGB-NKVD, Trump’s ICE thugs?
Answer: Trump’s. ICE. thugs wear masks.
*** “First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Jew. And then they came for me – and there was no one left to speak for me.” {Pastor Martin Niemoller – 8-year concentration camp personal prisoner of Adolf Hitler ]
And. – remember this: at Auschwitz, there were at least 6 major inmate badges: for “politicals,” for criminals, for homosexuals, for “anti-socials,” for Jehovahs Witnesses, and – for Jews.
And this; the first Nazi concentration camp prisoners. WEREN’T. Jews.
AND – perhaps. YOU. – just might want to think on this: in”your’ president’s 11 month reign of terror – he has attacked a large number of people, groups, institutions. – that he personally, and his supporters and donors, don’t like. He, and those around him, have demonstrated a CONTEMPT for “the rule of law.” What’s to prevent King Donald I from persecuting. YOU ??????????
