    Trump remark to try to bring back S. Korean workers after he chained them and deported them:


    "When Foreign Companies who are building extremely complex products, machines, and various other “things,” come into the United States with massive Investments, I want them to bring their people of expertise for a period of time to teach and train our people how to make these very unique and complex products, as they phase out of our Country, and back into their land. If we didn’t do this, all of that massive Investment will never come in the first place — Chips, Semiconductors, Computers, Ships, Trains, and so many other products that we have to learn from others how to make, or, in many cases, relearn, because we used to be great at it, but not anymore. For example, Shipbuilding, where we used to build a Ship a day and now, we barely build a Ship a year. I don’t want to frighten off or disincentivize Investment into America by outside Countries or Companies. We welcome them, we welcome their employees, and we are willing to proudly say we will learn from them, and do even better than them at their own “game,” sometime into the not too distant future!"

    The Trump administration is hell-bent on avenging the death of Kirk.


    Obama: Trump is manufacturing America’s worst-ever political crisis

    excerpt:

    Since the killing, the White House also announced a crackdown on “terrorist” Left-wing groups.

    Stephen Miller, the president’s deputy chief of staff, said on Monday that eradicating the apparent threat [from the left] was Kirk’s dying wish, pledging to “do what it takes”.

    “The last message that Charlie Kirk gave to me before he joined his creator in heaven was he said that we have to dismantle and take on the radical Left organisations in this country that are fomenting violence. That was the last message that he sent me … we are gonna do that,” he told Fox News.

    Uh Oh, US Farmers Totally Screwed Right Now

    excerpt:

    Or as Grassley put it:

    “Putting 50% tariffs on things that have steel in them, when you can’t buy those things in the United States, and you need them for your tractor to be finally manufactured? There should be tariffs on things that you can’t get in the United States. Why drive up the price of John Deeres because of a tariff on something they need for the tractor that they can’t even get in the United States? It’s a stupid policy.”

    What's behind the Trump administration's immigration memes?

    What's behind the Trump administration's immigration memes?

    excerpt:

    Last month, the White House X account posted an illustration of President Trump looking determined, framed by eagles, fireworks, the American flag and a cloud of cash.

    "Six months in. All gas. No brakes. The winning will continue. The deportations will continue. The memes will continue," the post read.

    Trump officials pressuring federal prosecutors to bring criminal charges against NY AG Letitia James: Sources

    excerpt:

    "Days after sending the letter, Martin posed for a New York Post photographer outside James' Brooklyn home, wearing a Columbo-style trench coat. He later posted a photo from his visit on social media.

    As ABC News previously reported, the visit and photo earned him a rebuke from Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy, Todd Blanche, who told him the trip was counterproductive and harmful to his investigation, sources said."

    Ed Martin is the head of the DOJ's Weaponization Working Group.

    It's supposedly looking for Democrats who weaponized their authority.

    It's a Trump group that weaponizes its power.

    Ed Martin did a crackpot photo-op that even officials in Trump's DOJ didn't like.

    Trump's way of standing up for labor rights.


    Trump Executive Order Declares NASA Is Now a Spy Agency

    excerpt:

    "The news that NASA will now be a spy agency was seemingly overshadowed in the media by the president's elimination of union rights for thousands of federal employees — mere days before Labor Day — despite multiple lawsuits challenging the change."

    What are the chances that Mt. Rushmore will be jack-hammered by 10,000 elderly people at $1.00 per hour and the rubble used to
    create a new sculpture of 'you know who'? With a GIANT McDonald's on top !!!

    The American farmers can take great solace in knowing that Trump is building a grand ballroom at the White House like the one at Mar-a-Lago, one that they will never visit.

    More bailouts for the American farmer can be expected again.

    At his 2020 and 2024 campaign rallies, Trump boasted repeatedly about all the taxpayer money he gave to the farmers. And some of them cheered instead of being the independent, self-sufficient people they once were.

    Also, Trump took control of Washington's Union Station.

    According to Trump, a CEO Vena has seemingly talked Trump to sending the military to St. Louis and Memphis straighten them out (as part of a merger deal that the CEO wants Trump to approve).

    And Trump calls Harris a communist.

    The American farmers in 1979 drove their tractors to DC and had a slogan of 'parity, not charity' as a way of showing their desire to be independent and self-sufficient.

    In today's world, some will drive their tractors to the White House to praise Trump for the injury he inflicted on them and the subsistence checks he issued them while using their smartphones to see all the glitter inside Trump's grand ballroom in the White House that they will never visit because it's occupied by the elites that they supposedly disdain so much..

    A political cartoon shows Trump directing construction workers as they finish a sculpture of him at Mt. Rushmore.

    Trump says, "Make me slimmer and get rid of the other guys."

    From

    Dictatorship to Democracy
    A Conceptual Framework for Liberation
    Fourth U.S. Edition
    Gene Sharp

    excerpt:

    "Among the weaknesses of dictatorships are the following:

    1. The cooperation of a multitude of people, groups, and institutions needed to operate the system may be restricted or withdrawn.

    2. The requirements and effects of the regime’s past policies will somewhat limit its present ability to adopt and implement conflicting policies.

    3. The system may become routine in its operation, less able to adjust quickly to new situations.

    4. Personnel and resources already allocated for existing tasks will not be easily available for new needs.

    5. Subordinates fearful of displeasing their superiors may not report accurate or complete information needed by the dictators to make decisions.

    6. The ideology may erode, and myths and symbols of the system may become unstable.

    7. If a strong ideology is present that influences one’s view of reality, firm adherence to it may cause inattention to actual conditions and needs.

    8. Deteriorating efficiency and competency of the bureaucracy, or excessive controls and regulations, may make the system’s policies and operation ineffective.

    9. Internal institutional conflicts and personal rivalries and hostilities may harm, and even disrupt, the operation of the dictatorship.

    10. Intellectuals and students may become restless in response to conditions, restrictions, doctrinalism, and repression.

    11. The general public may over time become apathetic, skeptical, and even hostile to the regime.

    12. Regional, class, cultural, or national differences may become acute.

    13. The power hierarchy of the dictatorship is always unstable to some degree, and at times extremely so. Individuals do not only remain in the same position in the ranking, but may rise or fall to other ranks or be removed entirely and replaced by new persons.

    14. Sections of the police or military forces may act to achieve their own objectives, even against the will of established dictators, including by coup d’état.

    15. If the dictatorship is new, time is required for it to become well established.

    16. With so many decisions made by so few people in the dictatorship, mistakes of judgment, policy, and action are likely to occur.

    17. If the regime seeks to avoid these dangers and decentralizes controls and decision making, its control over the central levers of power may be further eroded."
