On 13 Sept 25, Donald John Trump told “Fox and Friends” that he had “solved just about every problem.”
This is excellent news. For so many. Including, but not limited to:
1. True believers;
2. The loyal opposition;
3. The victims:
a. At home; and,
b. Abroad
4. The Quisling 119th Congress; and,
5. The compromised and corrupt High Court of John Roberts.
The Mad King is a showman for sure. And, now, if he is to be believed—a magician.
Goodie gum drops.
A Programming Suggestion
Here is the trick some good number of We the People yearn to see--Disappear yourself.
No other force on earth, in heaven, or hell seems up to the challenge.
Not being cynical.
Just hopeful. And supportive.
Go for it, Big Boy.
Do your Very Best Trick.
Tuck the Epstein file under your arm and go away.
Erase the fact and consequences of every emergency you have invented.
Retire the horrific solutions you have applied to every political, social, and economic problem you have created.
While you are at it. Abandon your latest vanity project.
You undertook it without consideration of the opinion of We the People. You are funding it in a manner intended to:
1. Avoid oversight, comment, and control regarding:
a. Fair and proper acquisition of design and construction services on federal projects;
b. Compliance with local building and fire codes;
c. Consideration of the opinion of architects and specialists with expertise in historic structures; and, also,
d. Disregard laws and customs prohibiting enrichment of your purse from domestic and foreign investors.
2. Make immortal your lousy taste and truly regrettable brand.
Listen to Spike Lee.
Do the right thing.
Reverse and repair damage you already have done to the historic fabric, character, and function of the White House.
Thoughts and Prayers
Donald John Trump, you have abused and overstayed your most recent and decidedly marginal welcome.
Your act is stale.
End it memorably.
And voluntarily.
Your life is a cautionary tale. Do not let your departure from it and public view be an avoidable tragedy.
Manifesto
The TACO Times will pass.
We the People can, must, and will reinvent ourselves as one nation under whatever powers inform and sustain our most ancient, admirable, common, and unavoidable truths.
In 1993, Jill Jackson and Sy Miller collaborated on a sweet sentiment with an easy tune that Vince Gill made an ear worm worth keeping:
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me
Let There Be Peace on Earth
The peace that was meant to be
With God as our Father
Brothers all are we
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now.
With ev'ry step I take
Let this be my solemn vow
To take each moment and live
Each moment in peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me
Anthem
Being of a peaceful frame of mind is not the same thing as being unconscious of threat. A direct and sustained attack on the human and constitutional rights of every resident of the barely United States of America is underway. The health, safety, welfare, and security of the governed is being compromised where not destroyed.
After a brief bout of debilitating bone spurs, the Tyrant Trump has reinvented himself as capable and ready to devise and lead military operations. Without declaration of war, congressional approval, and in defiance of established law and custom, his administration:
1. Bombs the nuclear enrichment facilities of Iran;
2. Sinks a vessel flying foreign flag in international waters; and,
3. Occupies domestic cities and surveilles persons protesting unconstitutional ICE operations.
The only force on earth, heaven, or hell with the resolve needed to resist Trump 2.0 is Resistance 2.0.
Every member of the 119th Congress complicit in the implementation of the Project 2025 playbook must be identified and removed from further access to power.
Our Dear Leader refuses to lose.
Let us do likewise.
There is no room for despair or time for delay. Let us each continue to exercise our indivisible Power of One. Let us continue to use our persons and our purses every day everywhere in every legal way to deny, delay, disassemble, defeat, and destroy Trump 2.0.
Election 2026 is critical. Let us covenant with each other to remember ourselves well as we refuse to be discouraged or side tracked. Let us keep the pressure on DEI deniers and the breakers of private, public, and constitutional oaths. Let us force a free and fair casting and counting of ballots in every election at every level in every place between now and including Election 2028. Let us demand respect for our presence and our power. Let us require faithless representatives to repent, reform, or retire.
Let us:
Rise
Resist
Persist
Prevail
Go, team, go.
The underground bunker is not so far-fetched as you might think. During his first term, he asked a contractor I knew if it would be possible to dig a tunnel under Pennsylvania Ave between the White House and what was then the Trump hotel about a half mile away.
Fantastic and concise. What a choice for the dear leader. Does he prove he is all-powerful by doing the ultimate trick of fixing the biggest problem of all (him)? Or does he step back and admit he does not have that power? Never did?
