"Terrible Things Are Happening Outside" Anne Frank 1943 🔥🔥😱 ✡️🌻😱🔥🔥 

Fanning the Flames🔥🔥🔥: During a 2020 interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos Trump said “We have to go by the laws. We can't move in the National Guard. I can call insurrection but there's no reason to ever do that….We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor.”  Now he’s surrounded only by sycophants and rubber-stampers, malignant actors like Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, and Pam Bondi who accede to everything he demands and Stephen Miller who fuels his hate, so despite his earlier acknowledgement we have the National Guard and the Marines in Los Angeles where their very presence, over the objection of California’s Governor, is serving as a violence accelerant. The order authorizing the sending of the troops to LA is so broadly written that it allows for troops to be sent wherever Trump wants to send them. Just a reminder that Trump refused to send them to quash the January 6 insurrection because those thugs were his thugs.  With anti-INS demonstrations now spreading across the country in response to his heavy-handed response to the events unfolding in LA which started after his INS ramped up the arrest of non-violent migrants to meet the quotas imposed by Stephen Miller, it’s only a matter of time before the troops show up elsewhere. As California Governor Gavin Newsom who Trump said should be arrested for the “crime” of being elected Governor and who Speaker Mike Johnson said should be “tarred and feathered” put it last night in an eloquent speech which, if you missed it, is well worth a listen, tyranny begins with the demonization of those least able to defend themselves, but it doesn’t end there.  Democracy is under assault, and we are all at risk. California is suing Trump to prevent what Governor Newsom and the state’s Attorney General call an unlawful militarization.  Last San Franscico federal judge, Charles R. Breyer, brother of former Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, set a hearing for Thursday to hear arguments but didn’t issue the temporary restraining order that California requested. Though the cost of Trump’s autocratic bull-shxt is the least of our problems right now, it should surprise no one to learn that the reality star who has filed for bankruptcy multiple times, has his cronies in Congress working on a budget that strips health care and food from the poorest among us to benefit the richest, who thinks that tariffs will replace income taxes, and won’t spend the money to help North Carolina recover from storms, is spending $137 million plus on this military show of force, an amount that’s above the $45 million plus being spent on this Saturday’s military parade, the one that’s supposedly about celebrating the 250^th anniversary of the Army but is really a big birthday bash for the wannabee👑king.

💉💉 💉 :  In the run up to his confirmation hearing, RFK Jr promised Louisiana Senator/Doctor Bill Cassidy that “If confirmed, he will maintain the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ recommendations without changes.”  Guess what, RFK lied to Senator Cassidy. On Monday, the guy with a worm hole in his brain who brags about his steroid use and is a “recovering” heroin addict with no scientific background but lots of vaccine “skepticism,” removed all seventeen members of the expert panel of advisers that guides the federal government’s vaccine recommendations.  Naturally, RFK said he removed them because they were all corporate tools and Democratic partisans. He promises to replace them with competent professionals rather than anti-vax lunatics, but that promise is likely as good as the one he made to Senator Cassidy, in other words it’s worthless. For his part, Senator Cassidy whose concern about being primaried from the right continues to trump his concern for the nation’s health, promised to “continue talking” to RFK. Stock up on masks and pray for your children because what’s coming won’t be pretty.      

People, Places:  In a totally inappropriate rally style speech to troops at Fort Bragg, Trump announced that he was restoring the Confederate Army names to many of the forts that celebrate insurrectionists and slaveholders.  He also promised to liberate Los Angeles and sadly, the troops applauded him while booing former President Biden, something that should really concern us since Cosplay Kristi asked Foxie Pete Hegseth to direct the troops to arrest civilians, one of those things that the military is not supposed to do.  On a more positive note, Brad Bondi, brother of Attorney General Pam Bondi, didn’t just lose the election to lead the influential Washington DC bar association, he lost by a landslide because scads of lawyers who under ordinary circumstances wouldn’t bother to vote cast their ballots for his opponent.  And yesterday, Congressperson Mikie Sherrill, a former Navay officer and prosecutor, won NJ’s Democratic Gubernatorial primary.  She will face off against the Trump endorsed Republican candidate, Jack Ciattarelli, a former state representative and current businessman.  Both are vying for the seat currently held by term limited Governor Phil Murphy. In other Garden State news, Alina Habba, the interim US Attorney/Parking Garage lawyer announced the indictment of Congressperson LaMonica McIver, one of the representatives who tussled with INS agents while trying to gain access to an ICE detention facility.  A performative and ridiculous action by Habba but expensive for McIver which is the point.
