It’s a photo of an old bald man who tries to cover up his baldness with a fancy combover.  ON top of that, he’s in mid-stage dementia, wears adult diapers (Depends) to catch his urinary leakage.

Of course, out of respect to the President, DO NOT spread this photo all over the ‘net.

 

Don’t know if there will be any scenes of this in the movie.

 

 

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Donald Trump is increasingly unhappy with Pam Bondi, describing her as weak and ineffective.

This I suppose is because she sometimes still pretends that the DOJ is at least a little constrained by laws and stuff, instead of just imprisoning and expropriating all of Donald Trump’s enemies at a speed of light.

Bondi’s replacement will probably be Nick Fuentes or Alex Jones or Pepe the Frog — in any event, someone who will make Bondi look like Clarence Darrow by comparison.

 

 

If the United States follows through on Trump’s threat to invade Greenland, we need to be crystal clear about what happens the next morning. This is not a real estate transaction or a routine military exercise. It is the geopolitical equivalent of pulling the pin on a grenade in a crowded elevator. The moment American boots hit the ground in Nuuk to seize territory from a fellow NATO member, the world as we know it ends. The consequences will not be temporary sanctions or angry letters. They will be total, permanent, and devastating.

The first domino to fall is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization itself. NATO is built on the sacred promise of Article 5, that an attack on one is an attack on all. If the U.S. attacks Denmark, we are not just breaking the treaty; we are triggering it against ourselves. NATO dissolves instantly. The alliance that kept the peace in Europe for 75 years evaporates, leaving the continent to rearm and realign against the new aggressor across the Atlantic. We don’t just lose an ally; we create a unified enemy.

The military repercussions will be swift and humiliating. Europe will immediately demand the closure of every U.S. military base on the continent. Ramstein in Germany, Aviano in Italy, Lakenheath in the UK, all gone. Our ability to project power into the Middle East and Africa vanishes overnight. We will be evicted from the very soil we helped liberate and defended for decades, forced to retreat to our own shores as a fortress nation, isolated and friendless.
Then comes the economic nuclear option. The European Union is the largest single market in the world, and they will weaponize it. Europe will likely move to call in U.S. debt and dump their dollar reserves, sending the value of our currency into a death spiral. The U.S. economy, which relies on the dollar being the global reserve currency, will collapse. Inflation will make the post-COVID spikes look like a rounding error. Your savings will be worthless before the ink dries on the invasion orders.

Corporate America will face an extinction event. U.S. companies will be expelled from the European market. Apple, Google, McDonald’s, and Tesla will see their assets seized or their operations banned. Trillions of dollars in market capitalization will be incinerated in minutes. The stock market will not just crash; it will close. We are talking about the complete de-globalization of American industry, cutting us off from the wealthiest consumers on the planet.
The skies will go silent. European aviation authorities will almost certainly ground all Boeing jets and ban U.S. airlines from their airspace. Transatlantic travel will cease. If you are in Paris or Berlin, you are stuck there. The logistical arteries that feed our supply chains will be severed. We will be cut off from European medicine, machinery, and technology. We will be an island nation in the worst possible sense.

The cultural isolation will be just as stinging. The International Olympic Committee and FIFA will have no choice but to bar the United States from competition, just as they did with Russia. There will be no World Cup matches in New Jersey. There will be no Team USA in the Olympics. We will be treated as a pariah state, unwelcome on the global stage, forced to watch the world celebrate without us.

For individual Americans, the consequences will be personal and painful. Visa-free travel to Europe will end immediately. Americans currently living or working in Europe will lose their legal protections and residency status. They will become persona non grata, potentially facing deportation or internment. The “blue passport” that used to open every door will suddenly be a red flag at every border crossing.

This is the end of trust, and it does not reset. You cannot invade a democratic ally and then say “my bad” four years later. The psychological break will be permanent. Europe will realize that the United States is no longer a partner but a predator. They will build their own defense architecture, their own financial systems, and their own alliances that specifically exclude us. The West will continue, but the United States will no longer be part of it.

Invading Greenland is not a show of strength; it is an act of national suicide. We are trading our reputation, our economy, and our security for a frozen island and a handful of minerals we can’t even process. The price of this real estate deal is everything we built over the last century. If we cross this line, there is no going back. We will be the lonely superpower, ruling over nothing but our own decline.

 

 

Eerie Similarities Between ICE & Gestapo

Whenever anyone mentions either Hitler, Nazi Germany, the Gestapo and SS, etc., there are many people who claim to be outraged by the comparison! Some claim doing this is either dishonest, untrue, or an overreaction, while others who have horrible family memories from the Holocaust and associated events, and seem to feel any comparison, in some way, minimizes their loss! Although, one could probably do a thesis on the comparison between President Trump (and some of his closest advisors) and Hitler (and his), the purpose of this article is rather, to consider, examine, review and discuss some eerie, horrific similarities between today’s ICE (and its behavior and actions) and those of the 1930’s/early 1940’s Gestapo and so-called Brown Shirts (used in Nazi Germany to refer to the SA or Sturmabtilung, which was the Nazi Party’s paramilitary organization , often referred to as “Storm Troopers” in England).  While this does not necessarily mean ICE is a Nazi group, but — if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then . . . . .

Warrantless arrests & searches: We are witnessing what certainly resembles those horrible events from 85–90 years ago! In a democracy, in most cases (unless certain specific conditions exist) a court-issued warrant is required to perform many types of searches, and many arrests. Over and over again, it has been revealed, ICE often uses masks and hoods to cover their face and identity, often not even showing any identification of proof of their authority! When this becomes widespread, no one is safe, because it means we are accepting the concept of a Police State, and accepting the diminishment of basic democratic rights, freedoms and privileges. This is exactly what the Gestapo and the Brownshirts often did, and soon, Nazi Germany and other nations where the Nazis invaded and took control, the reduction in many of these rights. It clearly violate ths concepts such as: No one above the law; equal rights and protections of/from the law/justice; legal protections regarding search and seizure, etc.; human rights; free speech; right to protest/assemble; etc.

Suspending legal rights: Basic democratic concepts and legal rights, such as the right to counsel, being read one’s Miranda rights, imprisonment without court appearance to plea, and/or be read the charges, no steps towards trial, etc., have apparently been suspended for many of those detained by ICE. In some cases, even the right to inform one’s family of where you are being detained, etc., have been eliminated. Some use as an excuse/explanation, this is being done because there is an emergency, where so-called violent, dangerous undocumented individuals, yet the reality is in Trump’s nearly 4 1/2 months im office, there have been fewer deportations than in his predecessor, Joe Biden’s similar period, last year! Dangerous criminals should be deported, but if we suspend habeas corpus and due process, we are violating the basic principles, this nation was founded on!

Concentration camps on foreign soil: If this President studied history, he might not act as he is. One of the darkest stains in US history was the detention camps, in California, where we held Japanese-Americans during World War II. Perhaps, he would have learned from the horrific crimes against humanity during the Holocaust, when anyone who potentially disagreed with the Fuhrer were arrested, and sent to those camps! Perhaps, Donald Trump would take to heart the famous poems from the German cleric, which most of us, refer to as, They came for… When ICE and the DOJ, against court orders, sent people to similar facilities, in El Salvador and other places, without any of the rights or legal protections, it sure seemed like the atrocities from the past!

No habeas corpus: Every true democracy since the Magna Carta (1215) has enshrined and protected the concept and right, referred to as habeas corpus, and its associated due process protections! In the USA, it is enshrined, and clearly state, every individual within this nation (citizen or not) was entitled to these protections. Of course, Nazi Germany did not do so, and now, ICE and Trump’s DOJ, Department of Homeland Security, and State Department seem quite willing to neglect these protections, using the false premise they are only provided to US citizens, even though, the Courts have, thus far, clearly ruled against the Trump government’s approaches.

Little to no government oversight: One of the key components and concepts of our Declaration of Independence and US Constitution is the checks and balances, created by the Balance of Powers. We keep seein what seems like executive overreach, where the President and his minions seem enabled by the SCOTUS Presidential immunity ruling, and Trump appears to feel he is above the law. Tradionally, Presidents have appointed Cabinet members and advisors, who have specific experiences and expertise, to make government agencies operate more smoothly, and in accordance with our traditions, and the greater good. Supposedly, the DOJ and the AG and FBI Director are supposed to be the people’s attorney and law enforcement overlookers, but both Bondi and Patel have been behaving more like Trump’s personal attorney that as AG, and Patel has seemed to simply follow orders without questioning. That’s how Hitler, so quickly gained power and control, and demanded outright loyalty. In our democracy, those in government take an oath to the Constitution, and NOT any President! We are not supposed to allow anything similar to the hateful, obedient, Nazi salute!

All of these behaviors and actions seem to have as a common thread, inducing fear and thus, making blind compliance mandatory!

While only time will tell if we allow ICE to become this generation’s version of the Gestapo and Brown Shirts, many of the steps and actions taken to date, are eerily similar to the horrific days of Nazi Germany! Jews and many others state, Never Again, related to those Nazi atrocities, but we all must remember and learn from what occurred at the onset, and ensure we don’t permit anything, or anyone, using similar tactics, etc.!

Wake up America, and don’t be fooled again. Resist and persist, as if our freedoms, rights and democracy may depend on doing so, because it very-possibly, may!

Jan 6, 2021 was a mob — organized, supported, and dispatched by Donald Trump — a mob that intended to overthrow an honest, accurate election that Trump lost.  The only thing the Capitol Police and the DC Police did wrong was that they did not issued automatic weapons and hose down the mob, stacking bodies about six deep.

Jan 7, 2026, was the murder of a completely innocent person by a Gestapo thug who has been in federal police service for ten years, waiting for his chance to murder someone.

---

Meanwhile, this Gestapo thug asked a woman:  “Have y’all not learned from the past couple of days?”  What he means is;  “If we don’t like you, we will murder you and there’s nothing you can do about it.”

 

 

There was no enforcement operation happening when the Gestapo thug Jonathan Ross murdered Nicole Renee Good

Whatever operation ICE agents were there to conduct that day had ended. The only reason the ICE agents were still there is because one of the agents got his vehicle stuck in a snow bank and he called for other agents to come and help push him out. This fact is from DHS Secty Kristi Noem — she said so herself in her first statement.

So no, Renee Good was not impeding enforcement.

Just wanted to clear this up because there is so much misinformation and outright lies being told about that morning from the professional liars — Trump,  Noem, Vance and their cult.

The Gestapo thug Jonathan Ross is guilty of first degree murder.  He should get the chair, the needle, the rope, or the firing squad.  Doesn’t matter which.

UPDATE 1/16/2026

Three days after the ICE thug Jonathan Ross murdered Nicole Renee Good in cold blood, DHS Secretary Kristi “Dog Killer” Noem stood up in public and lied — she claimed Ross was suffering from “internal bleeding” as a result of being hit by Good’s car.

LIE.  Video from several angles clearly showed the car made no contact with Ross.

And now there is this:

Jonathan Ross, the ICE thug who murdered Renee Good, was NOT TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL according to police reports. He was taken to the Federal Building. He was NOT INJURED. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01/15/us/minneapolis-shooting-ice

According to a report from the Minneapolis Police Department, Ross was still on the scene as much a half-an-hour after he murdered God.  He WAS NEVER TAKEN TO A HOSPITAL — he was taken to a federal building.

 

From Thom Hartmann’s substack blog.

In Wednesday’s Daily Take here on Hartmann Report, I mentioned Russell Kirk and the origins of today’s hard right GOP. A few people replied with, “Who’s that?” and similar questions; others were incredulous that Republicans actually believed the middle class created by FDR’s New Deal was a bad thing. So, here’s the backstory to what I mentioned.

I was thirteen years old in 1964 when my dad, a Republican activist, gave me a copy of John Stormer’s book “None Dare Call It Treason.” The Goldwater campaign had sent it to him, and its claim that the State Department was filled with communists intent on handing America over to the USSR had his friends buzzing.

Ironically, Stormer’s book and the movement it ignited within the GOP is largely responsible for that party today standing on the precipice of fully endorsing fascism as an alternative to democracy in the US.

And it was started by morbidly rich men (it was all men back then) who wanted to use the threat of a “communist menace” to gut the union movement to increase their own corporate profits and CEO pay.
