    In Cache Le Poudre Canyon an oil fracking company truck has crashed and rolled over into the river. The river is pristine, beautiful, and sacred to many people. Trump and his pals have been very friendly to oil companies. In the Standing Rock protests over oil/gas pipe-lines, Trump and his oil/gas friends resisted Native Americans and environmentalists with every thing available, even court rulings. On environmental issues, Trump installed a man who did everything possible to remove environmental protections and allow companies to pollute and ruin sacred American wilderness areas. Trump has even opened national treasure areas in Alaska to his oil company buddies. The trucker involved in this Cache Le Poudre HAZMAT accident which spilled fracking water into a sacred river is from Mexico. To drive such a truck, the driver needs to pass a battery of Department Of Transportation tests and acquire a TWIX card (transportation workers card) and to work in America, he is required to have a green card, or work permit. After all the talk from Trump about illegal immigration and jobs for American workers, Trump's corporate/oil business supporters appear to still use Mexican Truckers instead of qualified Americans. In most circumstances, they do it to pay less, and cheat the government out of FICA taxes, worker compensation payments (state taxes) and consequently increase profits. When this is done over say 29 truck drivers in an oil/gas fracking operation the profits add up to serious money. Because of Trump's corporate friendly Environmental Law changes, the American people are going to be left with the clean up of the Cache Le Poudre River.

    Trump calls on Ohio to vote for Steve Stivers next week. He's not on the ballot

    Trump calls on Ohio to vote for Steve Stivers next week. He's not on the ballot

    President Trump called for Ohio voters to support Rep. Steve Stivers, R-Ohio, in a special election next Tuesday even though he is not on the ballot.

    The president tweeted at his supporters Thursday afternoon to vote for Stivers, the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, "on Aug 7th." However, the only election in Ohio next Tuesday is the special election to replace former Rep. Pat Tiberi, who resigned from Congress in January.

    Rick Perry has been as confused as Trump when it comes to elections. Perry thought the voting age was 21 and got the date of the election wrong, saying it was November 12.

    Trump made Perry the head of the DOE, one of the departments that Perry said in the election that he would eliminate.

    The DOE was one of the departments that Perry said he would eliminate but couldn't remember when asked at a debate which departments he would eliminate.


    Rick Perry Infamously Forgot About the Department of Energy. Now He Might Lead It
    By Katie Reilly
    December 13, 2016

    excerpt:

    Rick Perry Could Lead the Government Agency He Once Forgot Existed

    "“But you can’t name the third one?” CNBC moderator John Harwood asked.

    “The third agency of government I would do away with—the education, uh, the, uh, commerce and let’s see. I can’t—the third one. Sorry. Oops,” Perry said.

    He later identified the Department of Energy as the agency he had been trying to name."

    Perry is in charge of the nuclear weapons arsenal. He didn't know that either until he was told about it during his confirmation hearings.

    Trump says he hires only the best.

    ‘The most bizarre thing I’ve ever been a part of’: Trump panel found no voter fraud, ex-member says

    ‘The most bizarre thing I’ve ever been a part of’: Trump panel found no voter fraud, ex-member says

    excerpt:

    "President Trump’s claim that as many as 3 million to 5 million fraudulent votes were cast in the 2016 election remains one of his most notable falsehoods.

    No credible evidence has ever been produced, by the White House, or anyone else, to substantiate the claim. The commission, formally known as the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, was formed in May 2017, and it quickly faced controversy from a wide array of groups, including many state officials from both political parties who objected to its requests for detailed data on voter rolls. By the time it was disbanded in January, it had drawn at least eight lawsuits, including Dunlap’s."

    At least Trump seems to have had an inkling this time that he's supposed to be supporting a candidate at an upcoming rally, even though he named a person who wasn't on the ballot for the special election.

    Trump's staged campaign-style rallies since he has been President were supposed to be promoting a candidate, yet Trump has made such rallies a whining fest all about himself.

    Some of Trump's show is a distraction of what is really taking place in America today. All these Alt Right, and White Nationalist movements have shell company-like affiliates and together they want a new country for white people only. The list is long. Among them are: Vanguard America, Patriot Front, Traditionalist Worker Party, New Albion, Patriot Prayer, QAnon, and others. They want a White Ethno-state, in the Northwest and in the Midwest, and in the South, and even in the Northeast. When you put it together, the picture is of a modern day confederate government. In other words, they want to overthrow the government. Steve Bannon called for White Nationalism openly and has gone on to Europe to push the same idea. Bannon, Mercer, Pence, and Trump want Russia to join in on this White Nationalism action, and to hell with the brown/black people of the world. Jeff Sessions openly claimed that white is the master race. November's election is truly for the soul of America.

    Puerto Rico, still without power.

    Trump's agenda for today? Attack LeBron James on Twitter.

    Not all are white racists. Some in the so-called Alt Lite, like Milo (if anyone still listens to him) and Joey Gibson of Patriot Prayer play that down because they want to get in on the action and are respectively part Jewish (Milo) and part Japanese (Joey). But they still play on xenophobia against Muslims and immigrants.

    Have we ever seen anything like this before? Yes, in Germany after World War I, with the Freikorps movement: "private paramilitary groups that first appeared in December 1918 in the wake of Germany’s defeat in World War I. Composed of ex-soldiers, unemployed youth, and other discontents and led by ex-officers and other former military personnel, they proliferated all over Germany in the spring and summer of 1919 and eventually numbered more than 65 corps of various names, sizes, and descriptions. Most were nationalistic and radically conservative and were employed unofficially but effectively to put down left-wing revolts and uprisings in Berlin, Bremen, Brunswick, Hamburg, Halle, Leipzig, Silesia, Thuringia, and the Ruhr....Ernst Röhm, a Freikorps commander, later became head of the Nazi SA, or Brownshirts." Freikorps | German paramilitary units

    Armed confrontation in Oregon between AltLite Patriot Prayer and Proud Boy members versus Antifa brought these to mind, since street brawling with the left was the name of the Freikorps game. Just a coincidence?

    For President Trump, Life Is Just Not Fair — And What That Means For The Rest Of Us
    by Domenico Montanaro

    For President Trump, Life Is Just Not Fair — And What That Means For The Rest Of Us

    excerpt:

    "But the fact that Trump believes it is instructive. His sense of fairness, or unfairness, really, has driven him, his rise in politics — and his priorities for the country. He has capitalized on grievance, especially that of white Americans chafing at the culture of a demographically changing country, and has expressed his view of what is unfair — everything from trade and immigration to the court system, the Affordable Care Act's individual coverage mandate, the IRS, the plight of political allies and, of course, the news media.

    Since he announced he was running for president, he has used the word "unfair" 69 times in tweets, and since becoming president, 40 times.

    Trump often tweets his unfairness outrage when he is in a defensive crouch. For example, over the last several months, with his back against the wall on his trade policies, two-thirds of his tweets using the word "unfair" have been about trade. It's a topic Trump has talked about for 30 years. In the 1980s, he railed against Japanese trade practices. Now, he is talking about China.

    What he views as financial unfairness has been fundamental, not just when it comes to trade. He tweeted his outrage at the IRS for his being audited."
