We are a lawless country. I hope the international community puts us in our place. This is a disgusting and shameful chapter in America.

Yes. But I think there’s been many a strong message from many countries already. No bombings retaliating yet …but no surprise if most just won’t do business with the formerly ‘good old USA’ anymore..

Send your thanks to the 6 Supreme Court whatever they call themselves for their part in this mess..

Double down warnings how to survive this worst case scenario unfolding …are filling my emails…yours?

Best of luck folks….

As per the Felon who ordered US Delta forces to kidnap a sitting president and his wife from another country

“A couple of guys were hit but they came back and they're supposed to be in pretty good shape." DJT

"It is only those who have never heard a shot... that cry aloud for more blood": General William Tecumseh Sherman “War is Hell”

Going for another walk as well. Stay safe and thank you Mary

Just the nonchalant way over and over again in which he disregards our military and servicemen lives is sickening.. so nauseated, angry this morning just too much…

Those dinosaurs in Congress better shake their tail feathers or they will be selling pencils on street corners. Wow, even while writing that sentence I didn't believe it. We know Hegseth is Dr Strangeloving all of this. He is strutting like a peacock, sipping on the flask just under the desk and screwing his secretary in the cloakroom. Marco Rubio is, I think, early dementia. Does he even know his right from his left? He looks like a grown up infant who can't latch on. Pam Bondi grows more ugly and dangerous everyday. AND YET, these are the people who are distracting from the other criminals: ICE, Noem, Homan, Miller... who are doing irreparable damage to the homeland. What an unfunny joke they all are. I am not laughing.

My heart sunk when I read this horrifying news this morning. I find the excuse of the indictment against Maduro and his wife particularly ironic since this embarrassment of a president recently pardoned the former president of Honduras.

Mark Kelly and other veterans currently in Congress took to the air waves to warn our military leaders that their loyalty must be to the US Constitution and not to illegal orders given by anyone including the President. A powerful chorus of voices of people retired or serving in the military and in government on media platforms on a daily basis plus emergency meetings in Congress are desperately needed now. Citizens from all many walks of life, we all need to hear you. It will take guts and prayers and cool heads to prevail. Sycophants need not apply. Wanted all Paul Reveres.

And so a new year begins…we are circling the drain. Look how far we’ve fallen!

I didn't realize I hadn't subscribed, so I just did. Hegseth is stupid and will do anything Trump wants, but what about the military leaders who carry out illegal orders?

“It’s the economy, stupid”, and this brazen, illegal act of war and chaos is bad for the stability of the dollar, curbing inflation and the general economy.

Trump needs to be impeached and removed now - but he won’t be, as the complicity of the military and Congress in shredding the Constitution shows the Trump coup - which Smith’s factual evidence regarding January 6 proved to be real - is now complete.

My Dear Mr. President:

Recall that in about AD 48, Paul wrote to the Galatians: “…for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” [Galatians 6:7 – K J V]

Evidence mounts this day suggesting that you may have missed that lesson back in Sunday School.

Regards,

We are glad you are writing today. There were concerns here that your head might have exploded after the latest debacle. My husband ran for the blood pressure cuff this morning and said he'd be glad to pay Trump's airfare if another country captured him and flew him out.

We, the people, continue to register our disbelief and disgust on a daily basis with the actions of trump and his administration, however, this debacle of unimaginable recklessness and misuse of power is overwhelming to every fiber of my body. Kidnaping a president and his wife, not capturing, is surely enough to stop the heads of our military from carrying out deranged orders, but it seems not. Is it enough to cause congress to impeach these imposters? While our country continues its downward spiral, we stand on corners waving signs along with millions of other fed-up citizens, but where are our elected officials? Where are they? Where are the safeguards to protect us? Where?
