*** “Where there is no knowledge, ignorance calls itself knowledge.” [ George Bernard Shaw ]
YOU can’t make this stuff up !!!!!!!!! Nurses don’t need education and training ????????
Does the Trump DICTATORSHIP have a “Department of Fools” ??? – who regularly churn out stupidity ???
Around November 20, 2025 – multiple news media reported something like this: “The Trump administration has announced that nursing is no longer classified as a “professional degree.”
SO – when YOU go to the dentist – do YOU want just anybody off the street poking around in YOUR mouth???????
Look up ‘hygienist” – the I-net says: “a licensed healthcare professional..” Read more and YOU find this involves a 2-4 year educational program. Do YOU think that states think that might be a good idea ??????
Look up “nurse’ – the I-net says: “a licensed healthcare professional..” Read more and YOU find this involves several years; 3 years for a registered nurse.
World Book Encyclopedia has a 4-page article on “Nursing,” including information on education required.
When YOU go in for surgery of any type – do YOU want just anybody off the street working with the dentist or surgeon?????????
Classroom work: student nurses study such subjects as anatomy, chemistry, nutrition, pharmacology, physiology, and sociology, as well as the fundamentals of nursing care.” SO – under the Trump DICTATORSHIP – does this mean nurses working on YOU no longer have to do this ?????????????
“Operating room nurses assist surgeons during operations. These nurses must react INSTANTLY AND ACCURATELY. to the surgeons’ request for operating instruments. SO – under the Trump DICTATORSHIP’s. “wisdom” we can put just anybody into the operating room ??????????
Face the FACTS – we in America are now “governed’ by FOOLS, ideological. IDIOTS, good-looking. LIARS, CORRUPT tax-cutters fro the already obscenely rich. YOU are witnessing, on virtually a daily basis, an advanced ‘democracy”. based on math and science slide into “Banana Republic” stupidity, craziness, cruelty, and above all massive and unending CORRUPTION.
Ask YOURSELF – what type of. FOOLS. would even think about saying nursing is no longer a professional healthcare profession????? WhenYOU were born, how many nurses were involved in YOUR healthcare??? WHO makes hospitals function????? WHO cleans YOUR teeth in order to prevent cavities???????
THIS – is an obvious illustration of the type of “thinking” now going on in the Trump DICTATORSHIP. Now, please, judge EVERY Trump DICTATORSHIP action, policy, announcement, rhetoric. with this STUPIDITY in YOUR mind. Re-examine EVERY Trump action since January 20, 2025, in this light.
The Trump DICTATORSHIP is populated with FOOLS, LIARS, INCOMPETENTS……..

The Trump DICTATORSHIP – Stupidity, Cruelty, Corruption, Craziness, LX – Armed Soldiers On American Streets
***** “any excuse will serve a tyrant.” [ Aesop ]
This post consists of excerpts from “Patrol that haunts me more was in Dupont Circle,” by Command Sgt. Major Eric Chastain; originally written for the Los Angeles Times; September, 2025.
1] “I know the look of an armed patrol. I’ve seen it in Baghdad, in Syria – in streets where fear ruled and peace was fragile. I never expected to see that same look on the subway in our own capital.
2] Chastain sees National Guard troops, talks with one. “I reminded him that the most important weapon a soldier carries in a city like this isn’t on his hip – it’s the trust of the people around him.”
3] Dupont Circle is “..a crossroads of international ideas and local community life. to see armed soldiers patrolling there is to see force imposed on a place built for conversation, exchange and civic trust.
4] Chastain “..spent nearly five years..on operations in the Middle East. through it all , what unsettled me in those places was the fragility of trust between armed patrols and the civilians around them – the uneasy sense that one spark could undo any tenuous stability. I never expected to feel that same fear, not for myself, but for our society, while riding the D.C. Metro.”
5] “What I saw last week didn’t resemble the disciplined Army I know. That should unsettle us.”
6]. “Asking them to police a city is unfair – to them, and to the people they’re supposed to serve. This is not what the Guard was built for. Its mission is to respond to disasters….not to serve as an armed show of force on city streets.”
7] “What was once extraordinary is quietly being treated as routine. ˇhat should alarm us all. The sight of soldiers with weapons patrolling D.C. and Los Angeles streets should feel jarring. Because once we accept it as normal, we begin to accept the very thing our military has always fought against – the idea that legitimacy comes from the barrel of a gun.”
8] “..my greatest worry is that by placing young soldiers in impossible positions, we are undermining the very trust between society and service members that holds our democracy together.”

The Trump DICTATORSHIP – Stupidity, Cruelty, Corruption, Craziness, LVII – The Corruption of the American Soul
***** “How can you say to your brother, “Let me pull the speck out of your eye,” and behold, a plank is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take out the plank from your own eye, and then shall you see clearly to take out the speck from your brother”s eye.” [ Matthew. 7: 3-5 ]
Of all the crimes against America and Americans by Donald John Trump, perhaps the worst, the most insidious, likely the longest-lasting, will be the egregious damage and corruption of the American soul. The Trumpian virus eats away at America’s aggregate humanity and simple decency. Trump has inspired hate, not love; fear, not optimism; suspicion, not trust. This has, will continue, to take a great toll on how WE as ordinary Americans treat each other.
1]. “Trump’s perverse genius, and he follows in the footsteps of cult leaders and dictators alike, is to convince his followers that the world is a dangerous place that only he can fix.”………..
“According to Malkin, political leaders such as Hitler, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong-un exhibit malignant narcissism. As Robert Jay Lifton notes in “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump,” such narcissism in a leader can lead to “malignant normality”…people can come to accept aberrant and even pathological behavior as the new norm, especially when it is exhibited by an authority figure. He applies this to Trump..” [Steven Hassan: “The Cult of Trump”]
Note: “…”malignant normality”…people can come to accept aberrant and even pathological behavior as the new norm..” This is painfully becoming obvious in America – after 9 years plus of Trump’s insults and public put-downs, a new brutality has been unleashed. The necessary self-restraints and norms about how decent people treat each other in a “civilized society’ have, are, being ripped away. So ordinary people feel “justified’ in cruelty.
*****. “Instead of clearing his own heart, the zealot tries to clear the world.” [ Joseph Campbell ]
2] “Trans panic zealots are following girls into the bathroom now, I guess”. [Noor Adwan; Minnesota Star Tribune; 8/l4/25]:
A]. “A Minnesota nonprofit filed a discrimination charge against a Buffalo Wild Wings location in Owatonna, Minn., on Tuesday after a server allegedly followed an 18-year-old into a bathroom, then proceeded to bang on the stall door demanding that the teen prove she was a girl.”
B]. “According to the news release from Gender justice, the high schooler – feeling trapped and humiliated – resorted to unzipping her hoodie to ‘show she had breasts”. in order to make it stop.”
C]. “Here’s the thing, though: G.M., the teen on whose behalf the charge was filed, isn’t trans. but it’s no secret that this type of moral panic is simply a way of alienating and shaming those who don’t conform to societal expectations of gender expressions.”
D]. “We know G. was targeted because of how she looks, [her step-mother]. is quoted as saying in the news release.”
*****. “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven you.” {Ephesians. 4: 32]
BUT – CRUELTY is a major part of the Trump strategy. Important people around Trump, in his administration, have publicly stated, bragged, this is their INTENT. Be intentionally cruel to create fear. It’s worked. there are ever increasing cases like the young girl of this post. – instances where ‘ordinary’ Americans felt “justified” to treat other Americans with malice and cruelty.
