Never Again
Returns
Donald John Trump is a corrupt businessman with a lucrative side gig as the 47th president of these barely United States. Ironically and inescapably, he is the Duly Elected Idiot (DEI) of Village America.
Twelve months of ill-advised attacks on the OTHER DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) may eliminate his political advantage in the 2026 mid-terms elections.
The Uncomfortable Pause
When the guy living in the apartment above drops his heavy work boot on the floor at 11:00 PM, a high-strung tenant startled from sleep by the noise may lie awake for hours waiting for the other shoe to drop. Thereafter to return to uninterrupted and undisturbed rest.
Anyone along the line of transit of a tornado or hurricane at ground level experiences an eerie moment of calm at the center of the swirling storm winds. There is no path of escape. Deadly violence bounds the eye on all sides.
In This Instant Moment
We the People are in the eye of the Terrible Trump Time storm. Now we stand between the unchecked offenses and outrages perpretrated during his first year back in high office and those threatened during his second year of decline, despair, and malicious abuses of power, betrayal of trust, and derelection of duty.
Mr. Big has caused every diversion, including prospects of nuclear war, he can devise to escape the facts of his sexual nature or misconduct that the Epstein files may document.
He has no cards left to play.
He is an old man in a decaying body with a deteroriating intellect and no apparent moral compass. His conduct suggests that he is terrified of a revelation about his sexual character and/or conduct that the world would mock and his supporters would dispise.
He is all about power.
He acts as though he is terrified he may lose it. And his personal freedom.
That’s why he is so dangerous at this moment of extreme vulnerability.
Self-Absorbed Partings
The Idiot King is an inadequate and self-absorbed partner.
In life. In commerce. In politics.
In 1962 Ian Tyson was inspired by the work of Bob Dylan to write a song about a failing love affair. Ian and Sylvia sang it on their 1963 album.
Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All those things that don’t change, come what may
If the good times are all gone
Then I’m bound for movin’ on
I’ll look for you if I’m ever back this way
The purposefully cruel, chaotic, and wildly self-serving first year of Trump 2.0 employed and enjoyed a gleeful disregard of domestic and international rules of law.
The elections of November 2025 let Trump 2.0 know that those good times abruptly were heading for the exit door.
Because.
His administration has not kept its Election 2024 promises. There is not prosperity at home. Or peace abroad.
America is not more safe. And its Mad King most assuredly no longer is trusted abroad.
His grip on the levers of American power rightfully is feared.
And resisted.
For 12 long months, wise men and fools have laid before him unwarranted tribute to his insecure ego and overweening lust for wealth.
Some favors sought indeed were bought. Numerous “deals” were denied, forgotten, or defaulted.
Only the Trump, Kushner, and Witkoff interests benefitted without exception. And those not entirely in the light of day or above the dealing table surface. Some deals (made as part of the Gaza and/or Urkraine “Peace Plans” proposed conceptually with great fanfare by Mr. Big) either were implied or just now are beoming evident. Like the $500M proceeds of the first sale of purloined Venezulean oil being deposited in Qatar accounts--with access to and distribution of deposits controlled by our very own incredibly corrupt Tricky Trumpster.
Undeterred or constrained, Mr. Big continues to distract from the Epstein files, failing economic programs, and unpopular immigation operations with totally transparent and outrageous grifts. Like invitations to select persons, organizations, and nations to sit a”Board of Peace” that will guide the reconstruction of Gaza. And maybe Ukraine. A payment of $1 billion guarantees a permanent seat. Be amazed that the Tricky Trumpster will receive, deposit, and use these funds without meaningful oversight.
As with every other breach of the rule of law and custom at home and abroad, this blatant siphoning of funds into his personal control and use, while “transparent” and “unprecedented” is illegal, immoral, unconstitutional, and unacceptable, even if unimpeded to date.
Allies and enemies alike are revisiting and reforming their alliances to protect against the whims and self-serving schemes of our Dear Leader.
1. Eight members of NATO, in support of Article 5, are sending troops to Greenland to resist an American land grab:
a. They are:
1.) Denmark;
2.) Finland;
3.) France;
4.) Germany;
5.) Netherlands;
6.) Norway;
7.) Sweden; and,
8.) United Kingdom
b. Ding Dong Donny has proclaimed a 10% tariff on goods from those countries, effective on 01 Feb 26, increasing to 25% on 01 June 26 and continuing “until such time as as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland.” This hissy fit is embarrassing on so many levels. The American consumer may not wish to pay this penalty. The American taxpayer might not wish to afford the purchase of Greenland, Cuba, or Canada as a territory or new state. Where in the world does Mr. Big get off obligating our purses to any of his global real estate schemes? Oh, right. He proceeds with confidence from his history of using OPM (Other People’s Money) to develop his real estate schemes and create his entertainment venues. His penchant for personally benefiting from bankrupting investors and bilking service providers does not inspire confidence.
2. European nations have become the largest overall donors of aid directly supporting Ukraine’s fight to evict Russia from territory invaded and occupied since 2014:
a. America works the regional conflict for profit.
b. It sells war materials and systems to Europe, for local use or transfer to Ukraine;
3. The European Union is America’s biggest creditor. It can call the debt. Who such a destabilization of global trade and power would benefit is the wet dream of every conspiracy theorist.
4. Canada and China have entered a mutually beneficial trade agreement that circumvents the TACO trade shennanigans;
5. BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa plus Egypt, Ethopia, Indonesia, Iran, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates), and SCO, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (China, Russia, India, Pakistan,, Iran, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Belarus) gain momentum in forming regional trading circles which exclude and withstand American influence; and,
Other end runs around America’s currently unreliable conduct are forecast, rumored or in progress.
At the annual Davos summit this week, other nations will give Ding Dong Donny good reason to perform a TACO moment. Somehow his inevitable word salad remarks during the World Economic Forum will ignore his FUFO tariff misstep. He must, he will declare himself the armored Prince of Peace when he moderates his threat to acquire Greenland.
The administration published the 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS) of the United States after its November shellacing at the polls. The document contemplates zones of (political, economic, military) influence which:
1. Disadvantage Europe;
2. Advantage Russia and the United States; and,
3. Act like China has no influence or say in the matter.
The NSS is purposefully and aggressively tone deaf, as well as unabashedly provocative. Timid Trump is playing Mussolini to Putin’s Hitler.
So.
Until Election 2026, here comes the other half of the attempt of Project 2025 to dismantle Pax Americana. Don’t expect those actions to be pretty. Or safe. Or sane.
The Crazed Captain of Our Battered Ship of State
In its current form, the National Emergencies Act allows the president to declare emergencies with nothing more than a signature. The 119th Congress has not disputed any one of the nine new declarations issued during Trump 2.0. Each and all these orders gave federal agencies more power to act without Congress — including access to emergency funds, waivers for environmental laws and expanded law enforcement tools.
The fabulism of the Mad King’s fetid excuse for a mind and morality is not as vulnerable to attack as one might hope. Those voices hoping for a third impeachment of our Dear Idiot must prove his perceptions of his official duties do not provide him the protection of immunities granted under the 2024 Trump v. United States decision.
The damage done by Trump 2.0 to persons, principles, property, and prospects by every breach of law in the last 12 months is grievous and without adequate remedy.
Only now have the mills of our legal system at its highest level begun to determine the constitutionally of pleadings about the most egregious of the administration’s breaches of faith, dereliction of duty, and wanton disregard for rule of law during its first 12 months of executive operation.
1. Deployment of Military Force Against the Governed. On 23 Dec 25, ruling from its infamous Shadow docket on the last day of the year, the Supreme Court left in place a lower court ruling that barred the administration from deploying National Guard troops in Illinois. The ruling had wider applications elsewhere in the continental United States. The TACO effect withdrew troops in place and planned. Then, doubled down on a legal loophole.
2. Taxation without Representation. As early as 20 Jan 26, the high court may announce its view of the constitutionality of the administration’s sweeping tariffs imposed on and after 02 April 25 under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA),
a. If the Supreme Court denies Trump’s invented national emergency declaration and associated actions, it’s still unclear what will happen to tariffs already paid by companies. More than 1,000 companies have already filed preemptive lawsuits asking the government to refund tariffs they’ve paid, if the Supreme Court determines they were never lawful. It’s still possible the court could determine that the tariffs are unlawful but only apply the ruling going forward, and say the government can keep the money it’s already collected in tariffs before the ruling came out.
b. The administration has a “fallback plan” to mitigate against an unfavorable ruling. Stop gap 10% tariffs would likely be imposed under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which allows presidents to impose tariffs of up to 15% for up to 150 days to resolve trade imbalances. More lasting tariffs would be imposed under other statutes, which allow duties on specific industries or countries.
An avenging organization might cause prosecution and punishment of civilian and military minions of Trump 2.0 “doing as they were told” while performing illegal, unconstitutional, and inexcusable acts on other human beings at home and abroad on land, sea, in the air and/or near space. The only way to reach the Tyrant Trump DIRECTLY is the time-honored and pretty much fail-safe course of discovery of fact of personal crime—follow the money.
Facts put Capone in jail. A cover-up attempt caused Nixon to flee.
Those guys were weak sisters in the annals of self-serving corruption. They did not know how to weaponize the judicial system to protect themselves from punishment. That skill is one Tricky Trump’s super powers.
Warning labels on perishable products suggest expiration dates for safe use.
The shelf life of Trump 2.0 has expired.
We the People are well advised to toss it out.
As is any other source or force voluntarily embracing and administering the implementation of the toxic Project 2025 playbook.
The A Cappella Imperative
Agency is a powerful aspiration. Liberty is an unquenchable thirst. Unbidden and unscripted before, all through, and most probably after historical note, arises a single voice, in all places and always, since human life graduated from primordial ooze, to attest freely, openly, and compulsively--“Now sings my heart” to life and thought immediately available, perceived, enjoyed, and spontaneously celebrated.
I am with Tiny Tim. God bless us one and all.
No darkness can extinguish or defeat our native light. Right is right. Wrong is wrong. And, although they might and frequently do, compete, never shall the twain meet.
The Grey World Is a False Image
We live in a time where folks in our vicinity wear different skin colors, histories, habits, preferences, and perspectives. All claims to the contrary, each of We the People inescapably is what we were served for breakfast. Black and white produce grey. Add in brown, red, and yellow—you get (again) white, the all-encompassing and inclusive color. Give it over, puppet masters. We are unavoidably, eternally, intuitively, and ultimately in control of the arc of right over might. White is right only when it is inclusive.
Anthem
Election 2024 put Fox Trump in Hen House America. He is misrepresenting our national nature and will. He is abusing our history and compromising our prospects. He is squandering our taxes and endangering our fiscal health.
The Tyrant is a self-absorbed and compulsively self-enriching old man cornered by his follies and fearful of the loss of his personal liberties. As he spirals toward his demise, he is attempting to coerce the nations and affairs of the globe to obey his whims and enrich his brand.
He is a clear and present global concern. He is our inescapable responsibility. We created him at the 2024 ballot box. It is up to us to neutralize him in 2026 with a new, responsible, and responsive Congress.
At this pause between the first and second years of his Time of Terror and Tour of Retribution--Give no quarter. Do not let “Never again” occur on our watch.
Rise.
Resist.
Persist.
Require respect for the will and power of the governed.
Force the arc of history toward the benefits of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Insist that these inalienable truths and high aspirations shall not perish from the earth on our watch during these troubled times. Immediately cause:
1. Defunding of ICE;
2. Provision of adequate and continuing support of Ukraine’s fight to evict Russia from territory invaded and occupied since 2014; and,
3. Funding for the health, welfare, and security of the governed.
Demand release of the full and unredacted Epstein files.
Go, team, go.
Well written. Well and heart-saddening written.
Thank you for this clear and true account of Trump’s attempts to destroy America while enriching himself along the way.
