THE PRESIDENT'S WORDS,

are lies

In America our President speaks many words to the People. In the year of 2025, the words of the President are filled with lies and disinformation. The concept of Truth seems to be considered only when it benefits this President. Contradicting what we see with our own eyes and hear with our ears, he proclaims the opposite in his statements.

What is the value of Truth? It lies at the heart of our Democracy. Our Constitution has been the guiding truth with Articles and Amendments which have been our National truth for 250 years. Now, the President has spoken to the People that he is King. This is a lie.

Post from the White House


On his social media platform Truth Social on Wednesday, Mr. Trump went a step further, likening himself to a king as he celebrated his administration’s move to kill New York City’s congestion pricing program.

Congestion is Dead. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED,” he wrote. “LONG LIVE THE KING!”


His words this last week that Ukraine started the war with Russia is lie. He has given the entire world a lie, which has alienated our historical allies. And given them a reason to doubt our participation in NATO, article 5 which has been the guide star for peace since WWII.

The very title of the platform on which the President speaks, “Truth Social” is an anathema to the Truth of our National Conscience.

The Words of the President could be an inspiration, which can bring the People together for the challenges of our world's peaceful future, or they can destroy our human condition with his greed and self serving need to be King of our destiny...

THE PEOPLES WORDS


AMERICA'S WORDS COME FROM...

MANY SOURCES:

Our historical written documents, our news media, our Congressional Leaders, The Supreme Court, The President of the United States, and the People of America.

Today, the headline by the San Diego news paper, the Union Tribune proclaimed;

MARCHES OPPOSE TRUMP AGENDA: IT'S TERRIFYING”.

Today, the words come from the People of America living in San Diego and the Tribune printed them. “The People will not bend down and let Elon Musk ravish the treasury and destroy regulations meant to protect the people”.

In pondering the speed with which the new administration and Mr Musk is penetrating the various agencies, we encounter a strategy of overwhelming the courts in their ability to stop the culling of information which should be private to us from the various federal agencies which were created to protect us, we the People. So far the Department of the Treasury, the Department of of Labor, Education and more. When reading the Project 2025 last summer, it was apparent that this would happen. We were warned. Yet, how many people read this 900 page document and took it to heart? Mr. Trump tried to distance himself from this plan, and people believed him.

So now we learn that Mr. Trump was lying. He appointed the worlds richest man, who is a far right Nazi sympathizer, to invade our Federal agencies and steal our personal information. How do we stop this madness? He appointed to his cabinet people who are “loyal” to him and will not obey established law, and this leaves us with no clear path to stop the implementation of Project 2025. The Words within this document are proposed to be the American Words which we should live by.

John McCain, His last Words

more important today than when he spoke in July 2017                                           



 Words we can be Proud of...

Some of Americas best words have come from speeches from the Floor of our Senate. The Words are sometimes inspiring, and sometimes a warning. I remember well the last speech of our great Senator John McCain. It was July 25th 2017. Here is his last speech, he was recovering from surgery with brain cancer.

When I listen today, I weep. Where are all of our leaders of today who can say words which could bring us together?

            COMING TOGETHER  



AMERICA'S WORDS OF INSPIRATION


    1. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. Preamble to the Declaration of Independence.

    2. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"

    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore""Send these, the homeless, tempest tossed to me I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Inscribed on the Statue of Liberty.

    3. “We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America”. Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America.

    1. O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave”? The last sentence of our National Anthem, the first verse.


    5. Possibility


Who does not become emotional when we hear the words of our National Anthem. At our ball games, School events, even the Rose Parade when the B2 roars overhead, we swell with pride and tears flow. 

Our Country tis of Thee...

Tis of thee" means "it is of you" - it's an old-fashioned way of saying "belongs to you" and is most commonly used in the patriotic song "My Country, 'Tis of Thee," where it signifies that the song is about one's own country, expressing a sense of national pride and belonging.

Our Country is Us. We have to start working together and NOT hold to the argument that one party is wrong and the other is right. There has to be a way to consider the good and the workable from both sides to form a new productive conversation for our way out of the destructive path we are currently having to live with...

Founding Fathers and the Signing of the Constitution of the United States

We the People were given a Republic, will We Keep It ?

For almost 250 years we have the greatest good fortune to live in America  governed by ourUnited States Constitution. For most of this time it has served us well. There have been threats and wars, abroad and here and at home. Never the less, we stand, as a Nation of United States.

Now, our Constitution is under a new threat. The Supreme Court has endowed the Presidency with new and far reaching powers which are contrary to established law. This President is in the process of taking away the 14th Amendment, section 1 which gives American Citizenship to all born in America regardless if the parents are citizens. It is not within the power of the President to do this. Congress has to vote for a Conditional Amendment both the house and Senate to be repealed. However, the words of the President have impact and a troubling influence for our American people. Words if repeated enough become implanted in the narrative of the cable news, the social media as real, and the words seem to be true. 

At this time, a federal judge on Thursday temporarily blocked President Trump’s executive order to end automatic citizenship for babies born on American soil, dealing the president his first setback as he attempts to upend the nation’s immigration laws and reverse decades of precedent. Will the President take his efforts all the way to the Supreme Court ? The Court did not serve us well when they nullified the 14th Amendment Sec. 3.

                                                   The Salute


When I was 7 years old we changed our morning American Flag pledge of allegiance from giving a salute with our right hand out stretched towards the flag to placing our hand over our hearts. Of course being so young, we had no clue why this was done, but our parents and adults with a thinking mind knew what had become an overt and widely known at that time, that the Nazi's were using this salute, to give allegiance to Hitler. There were many of my family who fought in W W II and by the time it was over, all of the children knew what this salute represented.

This salute is banned in Germany, and many other nations. Since the end of World War II, displaying the Nazi variant of the salute has been a criminal offense in Germany, Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, and Poland. Legal restrictions on its use in Italy are more nuanced and use there has generated controversy. ...it is recognized in America for what is was and still today the emblem of allegiance to Hitler.

Two nights ago, Elon Musk gave an enraptured Nazi salute to the crowds in the Capital One Arena to those celebrating the election of our President a convicted criminal. The news media has white washed this salute as an excited gesture and not to be concerned. Our former news outlets have bowed down to this foolish way of reporting, and so, we are not supposed to see what we see.



The Bellamy salute was replaced by the hand-over-heart salute in1942. This change was made in response to concerns that the Bellamy salute resembled the Nazi salute. The Bellamy salute was the original way Americans saluted the flag during the Pledge of Allegiance. It involved extending the arm out from the body with the palm facing outward from the chest.

  • In the 1920s and 1930s, Italian fascists and Nazi Germans adopted a similar salute.

  • Americans became concerned that the Bellamy salute could be mistaken for a sign of support for the fascist regimes.

  • On December 22, 1942, Congress passed legislation that changed the Flag Code to instruct Americans to place their right hand over their heart while reciting the Pledge.

As we can see with our own eyes, in this case Mr, Musk's actions speak more loudly than words of our media...
