The President's Words

What ~ Me Worry...

Why should I worry about Trump targeting/dismantling the Department of Education?Why should I worry about Trump targeting/dismantling the Department of EPA Why should I worry about Trump targeting/dismantling the Department of U.S. Agency for Global Media, United States Agency for International Development (USAID, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Energy, Department of Homeland Security and the list goes on.

What I worry most of all, is the targeting of Education at all levels. The Department of Education is the Cornerstone of our Democracy. As a former teacher, I am truly angered at the idea that this man in the White House who took an oath to protect our Constitution and our People is hell bent on destroying our Country. In all of My 89 years I have not had this kind of worry.

From Headstart to Harvard, Trump is trying his best to dismantle and destroy education and the First Amendment, which has made our Country the envy of the world. I believe that his hostility toward education is his way to diminish those who are “more” than He. If he can make young people less able to have the best education they are capable of, then in his demented mind, he will have stupid people which he can control and will not worry about his programs. Of course, not having an education does not mean lack of intellectual ability, or having common sense. Sooner or later, the majority of people will revolt and this is born out in the History of all dictators.

Unfortunately, this man has chosen people to lead most of his cabinet, and federal agencies who are not educationally qualified, or have experience to lead their respective agencies. This an example of control he has over our Government and they will lead us to be less than we are now. A good example is RFK and his crazy worm brain...

He speaks of “Americas New Golden Age”, and what he means is that the “Golden” will be for him and his fellow billionaires...

Can He be Stopped? Not without the Supreme Court reversing their  legal decision giving Trump immunity for anything he might do while in office. These are not stupid people, they must be aware that this man is not in his right mind, and is trying his best to make America UNGREAT...or, Congress Impeaching him. Not holding my breath...

 

“Thank you again. Thank you again. I won’t forget.”
So spake the President

Tonight PBS On May 27, 2025, PBS NewsHour featured a segment on

the University of the People,

an affordable online university. The segment, part of their "Rethinking College" series, explored the University's mission to provide accessible and affordable higher education, particularly for students who might not otherwise have the opportunity for College...


    

 

The "boiling frog" syndrome describes how gradual, incremental changes can lead to a state of crisis without being immediately recognized or acted upon, much like a frog in a pot of water that is heated slowly will eventually boil to death without jumping out.

Today I listened to Judge J. Michael Luttig give a interview on the Atlantic and this was the heading of the talk.

“The End of Rule of Law in America The 47th president seems to wish he were king—and he is willing to destroy what is precious about this country to get what he wants”.

He was asked if there is anything that we can do to make the situation for the President to conform to the Constitution and rule of Law, and the Judge said. “Very Little”.

In February, I mentioned to my family that I felt like I was in a kettle of warm water, and they seemed to be taken aback, but when they thought about what was happening to our country, they found the idea appropriate. Now we go to bed and not much has changed for most Americans, but the worry about what is on the horizon keeps many awake at night.

I remember when in his first term at Mira-a- Largo, there was a dinner with people who were Leaders of their Countries who did not have to ask their people permission to do anything, and Trump mentioned that it would be wonderful if he had this ability.

As we watch his progression of wreaking havoc on our rights and the Constitution, not obeying the Supreme Court, what is let for us to do? What will be left of our rights at the Mid Term elections? The dizzying pace of the EO's* is far ahead of anything that the Courts can legally do to stop him. And if and when they do, this President will just ignore the findings and keep on his illegal path of destruction...his sycophants, that he has installed in the governmental agencies will do his bidding, and that includes Congress.

It is my fervent hope that we are not Frogs. I have friends and neighbors who voted for this man to lead our Country, they depend on Social Security and Medicare. These programs are under attact by Congress and the President will sign anything that comes to his desk. He has said that not to worry about these programs, but he has been known to lie about so many things. “I will end the war in Ukraine on day one, Prices will go down, tariffs are not paid by Americans"...

Remember he said, “On Day One I Will be Dictator for one day.” His words. The Day has lasted for these 100 days and will in all probability last until his term ends. What will America look like ? I hope for my small great grandson, it will remain a Country where there is rule of law, and the Constitution is still our guiding North Star...

Women

and Words

The Percentage of the United States population for women is 50.5. We are now stricken from “being”in any written form in America's Governmental Agencies. Somehow we are gone from being a wife, mother, teacher, doctor, business leader, congress member, astronaut, scientist, artist, musician, author, service positions, and organizer. This is not a complete list of what women do in our lives as Americans, but you get the idea. Well,....just what does Trump and his minions think will happen if we all just quit our roles in our democratic society? We could just go on strike for a week and our world as we know it would be in chaos.

The Handmaidens Tale, by Margret Atwood written in 1985, The Disappearance by Philip Wylie written 1951 gives us projections of a world which seems now be a possibility. Trumps consistent statements and actions of how he treats women have now become reality in the disappearance of Words from government agencies.

I have often wondered what we would be in our intellectual presence, what the word to define ourselves would be, if we were not connected to the word man or men. What if we were Wons... What would we have as an image of not being Adams rib? What would it be like if we were the ones who gave birth to Man in our collective religious stories and not the other way around ? Actually, it is us, the female who gives birth, life to the other sex. It is us who creates the warm, the caring, the nourishing, the environment of learning in the early years, the building of the structure of the hearth, and the giving wonder of love. We inculcate the concepts of goodness into the male child making him aware of reason, respectfulness, truthfulness, empathy, and the ability to love others.

Our religious heritage of Michelangelo's god giving life to Adam reinforces the idea of man being God, and a Man God creating man. The President, unfortunately thinks that this concept makes him above all else in our world of the now. “I run the country and the World” ...his words.

I am becoming a Won...Ruth J Jameson and, we are legion...

Beware of those not your friends bearing   Gifts...especially really Expensive Gifts 

"A jet donated by Qatar would also be a "counterintelligence nightmare," ABC News contributor Darrell Blocker, a former CIA field operative, said".

Blocker cited that when the U.S. embassy was being built in Moscow in the 1980s, the U.S. had to "take it down to its bare bones" because the Russians "put bugs through every room, every facility."

"I think the people of Troy, when they accepted that horse, regretted it after the fact also," he said.

These are the words of our Fourth Estate. The News that the President says is the enemy of the People. History does tell lessons to us if we care to listen. Woe to those who don't listen...

“I could be a stupid person and say no, we don’t want a free plane,” said the President of the United States about the Boeing 747-8 which the royal family that rules  Qatar has offered as a gift...

 

Picasso's Guernica

Historically, Art has contained messages concerning, Political, Religious, Environmental, Race,War and dealing with many rights of the marginalized peoples of our Country and beyond. Picasso's Guernica was one such work. While this post is certainly not of Picasso's caliber, I have taken my plea of our current status concerning my political angst in a very simple and easy way to tell a story of what it means to me about America's values...

Make America True Again Make America Friendly Again Make America Green Again Make America Legal Again Make America Smart Again Make America Readers Again Make America Responsible Again Make America Voters Again Make America Savers Again Make America Thinkers Again Make America Generous Again Make America Scientific Again  Make America Honorable Again Make America Respectful Again Make America Protectors Again Make America Truthful Again...

I believe that more words are needed to be mentioned. The words that are important for leadership. Leaders for America should be of the highest, brightest and most qualified with backgrounds in education and experience pertaining to position. 

Make America's Leaders Truthful Again, Make America's Leaders Honest Again Make America's Leaders Constitutional Again Make Americas Leaders Work Together Again Make America's Leaders Accountable Again, Make America's Leaders Civil Again Make America's Leaders Honorable Again Make America's Leaders Scientifically Qualified Again Make America's Leaders Have Term Limits

 CAN THE COURTS KEEP THE CONSTITUTION

FOR THE PEOPLE

Judge Ellen Hollander

Two days ago, Rand Paul went on a tirade on the Senate Floor telling his truth about one Individual having the power to 'tax' the American People. He spoke for 15 minutes decrying the cowardly congress for giving away their power to determine the purse for spending and for taxing. He also said that he voted for the President, and agreed with most of his polices...What a contradiction of ideologies. Does he honestly believe that on one emergency declaration that the President will do what is right, and on the other declaration he will break with the Constitution and do what ever he wants to do? Pounding on his lectern, he repeatedly said that One Person does not have that right to taxation, according to the Constitution. I remember when Mich McConnell stood up after Jan. 6^th and proclaimed that Mr Trump was responsible for the insurrection the previous day and that he would be held accountable in the Courts after his term...

Two powerful leaders of our Congress, their words have no meaning in our real world today. Rand Paul will go on voting for any legislation which comes to the floor supporting Mr Trump, and Mich McConnell will add his voice to the same lame support of Trump. Where is the voice which will uphold the truth and laws which have made our Country so powerful for 250 years? Is it the Courts?

Today in the Union Tribune San Diego there came a voice for the People. Judge Ellen Hollander of the U.S. District Court of Maryland. Concerning the Social Security agency and that Doge wants to have access to our records therein.

Judge Hollander has imposed strict conditions on access to the records int light of the agency's abiding commitment to the privacy and confidentiality of the personal information entrusted to it by the American People. In her ruling, Hollander wrote that the”intrusion into the personal affairs of millions of Americans – absent an adequate explanation for the need do so is not in the public interest.”

To attain the two trillion dollar cut to the national budget, only cutting Social Security and Medicare would give Trump's administration the needed money to give the tax breaks for billionaires and fund Musk's demented dream of colonizing Mars for his future...

Will the Courts hold for our People when the appeal processes begin on so many of the lawsuits now on the way for resolution? When these appeals wend their way to the Supreme Court, will this Court follow the Constitution or will they repeat their folly of making Trump not accountable to anyone...

Will one person's emergency declarations be our new rule of law? Will this new method of emergency declarations of taking away our rights and security be our new reality? Is our Constitution Dead?

 

 I RUN THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD

Thus spoke our President today. Words spoken by a madman by my accounting . His delusional broadcast to the world only defines his madness, as even Hitler never made a statement such as this. If his intention is to tell the world that he is the master of all humanity, he only made himself a laughing stock and let the world see his limited mental awareness of reality.

Even the world's richest man is pulling himself away from the asylum of what used to be our Nation's White House of honor, law, and due process. Our Presidents of the past have never tried to overthrow our Constitutional Process of electing a new President.

This man is not interested in the Constitution, and has advocated his desire to do away with it altogether. He is on the way with his insane march of destruction, of tearing apart our Nation's greatness with his acts of retribution, destruction of the agencies of protection for our people, and the annihilation of the Free Press with the owners of the press bending the knee out of fear...

I do not call this person my president, for he has no interest in the People of this Country. He has no interest in me, my family, or my neighbors. He has no interest in our laws, no interest in our Military's integrity, no interest in our environment, no interest in our health, and no interest in our seniors, no interest in Children who are hungry. He has told his “people” many times he only wants their vote.

This can be documented by the people he has chosen which have absolutely no expertise in running the various agencies which keep us safe and our Military functioning at the highest level of competency. The people in charge of these agencies would never have been hired by corporate entities that depend on their people to be of the highest and brightest qualities to make their business thrive.

What are his interests you might ask? Well, it seems like his meme coin has made him billions, his sick retribution for his political adversaries, his unadulterated admiration of the worlds dictators, imposing tariffs on the entire world, and playing golf.

To the World, and to Me, he is a convicted felon, and has been given our Great Nation by the Supreme Court, which made him a king in his deteriorating mind, a decision made up of whole cloth, and our National Nightmare has begun for real this time. Nixon and Watergate was a tea party in comparison...

This person's words are not America's Words. America's words are enshrined in our Constitution, and from our great people who care about Democracy, Law, and the First Amendment, and our right to speak as I have this evening, April 29, 2025.
