He’s sent in more National Guard members — something he refused to do when his buddies he told he loved them trashed our Capitol and killed and injured other police officers — then hired one of them to a high-level position in the U.S. Department of Justice. He seems to believe in law and order only when he decides the definition of law and order. He has normalized anyone who is trained or not to act like police officers who are trained to handle our cities. He seems especially gleeful of taking over D.C. because our mayor and our police chief are Black women.
He has taken over our beloved Kennedy Center, expressing his grievance of never having been honored there. He said he wanted one, but never got one so maybe next year with him being 98% in charge of what goes on there. He will serve as host as he takes over the performing arts center. (I am not making this up!)
Now he’s reviewing the Smithsonian museums — including Washington’s National Museum of African American History and Culture — to determine if the museums are displaying anything that conflicts with his views. The White House has targeted Smithsonian sites for historical rewrite.
God help us with the actions of what is called president who warned us that we may never have an election again. We see as he beefs up his authoritarian helpers: Pam Bondi, Pete Hegseth and Judge Jeanne Pirro (a television personality).
He has federalized Washington’s police and said he can extend his invasion without Congress’ approval. He’s acting like the king the Supreme Court authorized him to be! Of course, the wise women (Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Ketanji Brown-Jackson and Elena Kagan) were not a part of that vote! Old Clarence (Thomas) was right up there with the Trumpers.
Following after that brother (Notice I used a small b) the one from South Carolina (another small brother with a small b) Tim Scott, instead of forgetting that Trump looked all over him for his cabinet, is right back in the game supporting bossman Trump. He actually said to me (see below):
“Friend, I’m gonna shoot straight with you. The Radical Left is moving like a bat out of hell to sabotage the president’s agenda. And now we’re staring down the barrel of a full-blown liberal takeover. That’s why I’m reaching out to YOU, Friend…I’m not here to wring my hands, I’m here to fight. And I need you standing with me. So I’m launching an emergency survey for TOP America First allies and you’ve made the cut. I need your voice on record before the end of the night. Every response will help guide me and Senate Republicans as we fight back against reckless spending, open border chaos, and the ENDLESS attacks on American values.”
Tim has the nerve to rush me to give his bosses an answer! He goes on with “But here’s the catch: I HAVE to send my first round of results to our leadership team before midnight and time is running out! Don’t sit this one out, Friend. In the Bible it says, a house divided against itself cannot stand. We can’t afford to let the Left continuously divide the house we call America without a fight. We’ve got a country to save and it starts with the work we do here and now.”
Even if I were a friend of his, he’d know what I’d be saying to him now! This is a part of what we’re facing, but don’t be discouraged. We just have to work harder to find voters around the country who know right from wrong and will vote against Tim’s kind of foolishness!
