The United States is now facing the greatest threat to our free way of life in our history. Even the US Civil War was not the danger that is Donald Trump. In the Civil War, the South wanted to separate from the rest of the Union. Today, Trump does not want to separate from the US, he seeks to destroy the fundamental functions and purpose of the US. He seeks to destroy the Constitution, replacing the Judiciary and Legislative Branches with puppets of the Executive. Plainly stated, Trump seeks to establish himself as a dictator . . . and as of May 2025, he may succeed.

The Trump administration is so stupid it hurts my head to read about it

Attorney General Pam Bondi and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum will reportedly be in San Francisco on Thursday to announce plans to reopen Alcatraz.

President Donald Trump mentioned in May wanting to reopen the federal penitentiary “to house America’s most ruthless and violent offenders.”

The former notorious prison, nicknamed “The Rock,” was closed in 1963 due to crumbling infrastructure and the high costs of repairing and supplying the island facility. It has been a National Park Service site since the 70s.

The planned announcement to reopen Alcatraz as a federal penitentiary is the Trump Administration’s stupidest initiative yet. It should concern us all that clearly the only intellectual resources the Administration has drawn upon for this foolish notion are decades-old fictional Hollywood movies.
