a few early morning thoughts;

TRUMP - Not who you think he is. There is no “Choice”. Look at his action not his words.

so far the only difference i can find between the orange man and the fool, is that in his last dance the orange man didn't start any new wars, kept the border considerably more controlled than the fool, and spoke some reassuring words. at the same time under his heading the jab was released and insisted upon. private business was ruined in many cases with the shutdown, while corporate was allowed to function with out change, effectively. 

both act as if israel is in charge and 'our' government acts as they're the 'employees'. both waste uncountable amounts of cash on the war department in ineffective 'weapon systems'. and in the fools reign the 'justice' department is used as a weapon against opposition. for those who buy the zionist story that they are god's chosen remember the biblical warning about 'false joos' which the ashkenazi are. 

we have no effective democratic government. we're trying to start several wars, or encouraging the ones we've already agitated into existence but few know as they buy the lies on their tv. meanwhile there are a few knowledgeable scholars who predict situations in which 'our' government is setting us up for the mark of the beast: digital id, cbdc to replace money, and so things ain't gonna get any better. 

the two political 'parties' are as galloway says, two cheeks of the same ass, and for the most part are indistinguishable in their 'results'. the only active opposition comes from a few representatives, about thirty like jim jordan, tom massie, or mtg, who is quite vocal but has few from the rethuglicans in support of her obvious opposition to the dumocorps. we're using the kurds against our alleged allies, the turks, who have the second largest army in nato. this could easily begin another war there. armageddon could easily be in play in large part created by the empire: america. we treat europe as if we own them. i could easily go on with more that this blog posts as being reinforcement for these conclusions i post here.

 those of you who support the zionists either don't know the nature of your chosen gang or are complicit by association which is a bit of law frequently pasted on others. either way the zionists are criminals who deserve the hell they tell their victims is on the way;

Bibi is just trying to trigger wars everywhere.

That is his strategy.

If he can get things hot enough, then the Americans (and presumably the Europeans) have to come save the Jews.

This is basically the exact same strategy they used in Germany in the 1930s.

The Guardian:

Israeli soldiers have destroyed 11 homes and other structures in an isolated community in the occupied West Bank, leaving 50 people homeless, amid a reported uptick in house demolitions and spiralling violence in the Palestinian territory.

Contractors with bulldozers accompanied by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops arrived in Umm al-Kheir, a village mostly home to shepherds, on Wednesday morning and demolished six houses, tent residences, an electricity generator, solar cells and water tanks, according to residents and Israeli activists who documented the proceedings. Agricultural land and fences were also damaged and trees uprooted.

The demolition has destroyed about a third of the village’s infrastructure.

“We have fought in the Israeli courts for years against this as most of the village is under threat of demolition and they have done this before,” said Eid Suleiman, a resident. “But they came this time without telling our lawyer. We didn’t have time to collect our belongings.

“We have put up some tents to keep the children cool in the heat. But we are afraid the soldiers will come back and take those too because they say we are building illegally.”.........more......

 this genocide total is larger than what mondoweiss reports and seems more plausible due to the nature of conditions in gaza;

Gaza's Health Ministry recently reported that Israel's ongoing assault on Gaza has resulted in over 47,000 Palestinians killed, wounded or missing, with at least 3,000 massacres documented since Oct. 7, 2023.

Ministry officials highlighted that they are operating with minimal equipment in the northern Gaza Strip as Israel continues to block the delivery of medicines, medical supplies and fuel to the besieged enclave. 

"We are trying to restart vital departments in the Al-Shifa Medical Complex and the Indonesian Hospital," the ministry stated.

Both hospitals have been directly targeted by the Israeli army during the 258 days of conflict in the Gaza Strip.

The ministry has recorded 37,431 Palestinian deaths and estimates at least 10,000 bodies are trapped under rubble, unreachable by health workers. Approximately 5,000 of these are believed to be children.

Three-quarters of the registered deaths are children (about 15,747), women (10,406) and elderly people. Over 85,653 individuals have been injured due to Israel's bombing of the strip, most of whom are children and women.

The ministry also noted that 98 percent of children in Gaza lack access to safe drinking water.

At least 33 children across the Gaza Strip, especially in the northern areas, have died from malnutrition and dehydration amid a growing famine, according to the ministry.

Israel continues its offensive on the Gaza Strip, pushing further into the southernmost city of Rafah despite international condemnation. 

Rafah Mayor Ahmed al-Soufi told Anadolu Agency that "over 70 percent of public facilities and infrastructure have been destroyed in the Israeli onslaught." Soufi noted that Israel recently destroyed dozens of homes in western Rafah's Saudi neighborhood..........more......

 my approach is if i can't pronounce it i avoid it;

Not long ago, people could only dream of the foods we have today. Tasty, cheap, and ready to eat. They last forever, look great, and come in endless varieties. Ultra-processed foods are a dream come true.

These new foods have achieved their incredible feats thanks to innovations in processing and a long list of additives that grant them superpowers denied to the foods eaten by previous generations.

Some of these additives do important work, like keep food bacteria-free or let it stay safe from spoiling without need for refrigeration. But others are “experiential” and do things like make the food bright red or give it a more satisfying texture.

Additives come in a variety of types. There are preservatives, flavorings, colors, stabilizers, emulsifiers, firming agents, humectants, and more. They have names like “titanium dioxide,” “sodium benzoate,” and “xanthan gum.” And the fact that people are living longer despite most Americans mostly eating ultra-processed foods would seem to indicate their safety.

Except that they are linked to many chronic diseases like cancer, and many other issues, including depression, and anxiety, and may contribute to cognitive decline. They may even be addictive.

Many additives have come under increasing scrutiny, with some states even banning some of them. And in some other countries, additives used in the United States have been banned for years.

While it’s easy to blame food makers for adding ingredients that may make us less healthy, the truth is that we buy what they sell, and ask for more—at the cheapest price possible.

My wife and I do stock some ready-to-eat foods though. Many grocery stores stock vacuum-sealed pouches of Indian food for $3, including rich dishes like baingan bharta, madras lentils, and palak paneer. The names may sound unfamiliar, but if you’ve ever eaten at an Indian restaurant, you know the food is well-flavored, typically a little expensive, and very satisfying.

And the thing that has always amazed me about the instant pouches is the stunning lack of weird ingredients. They are full of whole foods and spices with nothing that’s hard to pronounce. It makes me wonder what kind of foods the innovative companies in the United States could come up with if we really wanted them to.

America created ready-to-eat processed foods that have spread around the world, delivering exactly what we wanted in terms of price, flavor, and convenience. Now we just need to ask for foods with higher-quality ingredients and fewer additives that have uncertain effects on our brains and bodies..........https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/magical-mysterious-and-sometimes-dangerous-food-ingredients-are-impossible-pronounce

 its beginning to look a lot like armageddon but then again that's a frequent conclusion these days;

Iran's mission to the United Nations has put Israel and the world on notice, saying that if Israel launches an all-out war against Hezbollah in Lebanon the whole region will burn.

A Friday statement from Iran's ambassador warned the UN that any "full-scale military aggression" in Lebanon against Hezbollah will mean that "an obliterating war will ensue."

The Iranian statement continued by emphasizing that "all options, including the full involvement of all resistance fronts, are on the table" in a statement posted to X. 

By "resistance fronts" Tehran means the militias it supports in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen will also ramp up their military activities. On a few occasions, Iraqi Shia militias have launched missiles and drones against southern Israel, as have the Houthis, with limited effect.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged this week that a "seven front war" could open up, in reference to all of Iran's proxies across the region. 

For years already, Israeli jets have been regularly attacking 'Iranian assets' inside Damascus, also in a continued effort to weaken Assad, despite the presence of Russia's military primarily in the northwest coastal region.

Israel has meanwhile continued to pound Hezbollah positions in south Lebanon, amid continued fears of a bigger war at any moment. The US has even sent amphibious military ships closer to Israel and Lebanon in the Eastern Mediterranean to be ready to evacuate Americans if a bigger conflict ensues..........more.......

 caitlin discovers that there's no difference between the 'candidates' when you get to the bottom of it all;

It’s so obvious at this point that the US is being run by unelected empire managers who throw up half-dead, half-brained presidential candidates to trick Americans into thinking they live in a democracy.

I truly could not care less who wins the US election; in my mind Dementia Meat Puppet and Reality TV Oligarch are both perfectly suitable symbols to represent the US empire. And that’s all a US president is: a symbolic representative with no real power. 

I truly do not see how anyone can still give a fuck about this bullshit. It’s so obvious at this point that the US is being run by unelected empire managers who throw up half-dead, half-brained presidential candidates to trick Americans into thinking they live in a democracy. Those empire managers are going to do whatever they want to you regardless of how you and your compatriots vote. Your electoral system is a fake plastic toy they give you to play with so you won’t interfere with the gears of the imperial machine. 

There are no answers in electoral politics. Start looking for answers elsewhere.........more.........

 this makes sense to those of us who realize that the world of the empire isn't what you see on your tv but there's a large behind the scenes functioning machinery that exerts a much larger amount of control with results you see daily. how many of you voted, in 'our democracy',  for the various wars we have going on for example;

This was a setup, and now you have the press worldwide discussing replacing Biden. NEVER before did you have a debate before the candidates were nominated. This was to give Hillary time, and now everyone is talking about replacing Biden. CNN was part of this and specifically asked about his age. They were respectful because they were in this plot from the start.

I feel sorry for Biden, for they trashed this guy all for the Neocons, who are ruthless, evil people. They are destroying the USA with their endless wars, driving inflation and deficits through uncharted territory; this is raising taxes and now the elimination of paper and money, all to keep their hatred going forward. They have managed this for their candidate, Hillary, who would nuke Canada to get three Russians.

They would not allow RFK on stage because this was NEVER supposed to be a debate. They knew Biden was losing it. This was to covertly allow Hillary to be drafted and Biden will “voluntarily” step down, which is also required under the rules. But they had to embarrass him before the entire world just to retain that power to push that red button to wipe out their lifelong enemy – Russians, Chinese, and anyone else who dares to disagree with them. Perhaps Newsom is for VP – not president.........https://www.theburningplatform.com/2024/06/29/the-real-debate/

 international reactions to the great biden debate;

 the rats are discovering who they've been working for and don't like it. money is leaving joe and going orange;

David Sacks is one of the Silicon Valley billionaires who is now supporting Trump and helping to raise money for his campaign.

During a recent episode of a podcast that he co-hosts, he perfectly described what the Democrats and the Biden regime have become. Sacks suggests that this is not politics as usual. He says that the people behind Biden are basically using him as cover to retain power, while they loot the republic and reward the various special interest groups that are part of their coalition.

Sacks also suggests that Biden’s awful debate performance tore the mask off of this act and exposed it for all the country to see.

 here are reasons to have a gun handy even in your house;

Texas has a reputation of being a tough state. Even their anti-litter slogan, “Don’t mess with Texas,” seems a little more aggressive than that of many other states in the nation.

When it comes to armed citizens, the Lone Star State ranks right near the top of the list. And four different home invaders learned that lesson the hard way during the past few weeks in June.

On June 16, a Longview, Texas, man was asleep at his home around 1 a.m. when a man broke into the house. Police later learned that the intruder had been involved in a nearby hit-and-run wreck about 20 minutes earlier and had fled the scene.

According to the Longview News-Journal, the resident grabbed his gun, confronted the intruder and shot him inside the home. The home invader, identified as 23-year-old Johan Nino, later died at a nearby hospital. Police said no charges would be filed, and the investigation into the matter will continue.

The next day in Sherman, Texas, an armed man tried to break into a homeowner’s shed. When the homeowner confronted the suspect, the man allegedly charged him with a screwdriver. Fearing for his life, the homeowner shot the suspect, identified as Jose Antonio Menjivar.

According to a report at Kten.com, Menjivar was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and was later charged with burglary.......more......

there may be a lot in this as the motherwefers love to engage in ritual for what ever reason. the question then becomes exactly who would be included in the focus group targets and goals; 

The debate confirmed what everyone knew: Biden is senile and a figurehead. 

Why would the Demonrats choose an unfit candidate?

Regular contributor CK has the answer.

“A Humiliation Ritual is a deliberate act designed to embarrass, demean, or degrade an individual or group … to break down an individual’s sense of self, making them more malleable and easier to control.” 

The COVID mask is another humiliation ritual.

 by CK – (henrymakow.com)

If you ever pledged a college sorority or fraternity, you experienced Hell Week, a Humiliation Ritual you must pass through before being initiated into the “Greek Organizations” on campus.

Many powerful cults and secret societies like the Illuminati use Humiliation Rituals as an important part of their initiations, too, and they are also frequently used in Hollywood.

Now, the entire world has been plunged into a Humiliation Ritual to initiate everyone into the One World Order. A Humiliation Ritual is a deliberate act designed to embarrass, demean, or degrade an individual or group, often in a public or communal setting. These rituals can serve various purposes, such as increased behavioral compliance and can be used to break down an individual’s sense of self, making them more malleable and easier to control. The long-term impact on individuals can be damaging, leading to issues such as decreased self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and trauma......more........

 this on drones from the russians to the empire. the following is from the moon of alabama;

A new statement by the Russian Defense Ministry says:

The Russian Defence Ministry noted the increased intensity of U.S. strategic unmanned aerial vehicles over the Black Sea waters, which are conducting reconnaissance and targeting high-precision weapons supplied to the Armed Forces of Ukraine by Western states to launch strikes at Russian facilities.

This demonstrates the increasing involvement of the United States and NATO countries in the Ukrainian conflict on the side of the Kiev regime.

Such flights increase the possibility of air incidents involving the Russian Aerospace Forces’ aircraft, increasing the risk of a direct confrontation between the alliance and the Russian Federation.

The NATO countries will be responsible for this.

The Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation Andrei Belousov has instructed the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces to make proposals on measures for rapid response to provocations.

NATO reconnaissance and radio relay drones were regularly patrolling over the Black Sea before and during recent ‘Ukrainian’ attacks with long reaching, western delivered weapons on Crimea. This was also case during the recent release of cluster ammunition over a popular beach near Sevastopol which has caused several civilian death and wounded some 100+ people.

While the drones are nominally flying in neural airspace they are obviously used for attacks on Russia assets in Crimea. That makes them, arguably, legitimate targets for Russian air defenses. Russia had so far held back at destroying them. This will now change.

NATO or the U.S. may well regard such attacks on their ‘neutral’ forces as hostile. Some will press for retribution. But I am convinced that mere attacks on drones will not be seen as sufficient reason to launch World War III..........https://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=290319

 i thought the orange man one milimeter better than the biden because he hadn't started any new wars and the border was secure. now days it appears his border was the only saving grace and otherwise there's little difference tween orange or biden; 

No way to make this pretty. Donald Trump’s decision in 2019 to withdraw the United States from the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), which was negotiated during the Presidency of Ronald Reagan, is one reason that Vladimir Putin announced that Russia will start producing medium-range missiles:

The INF treaty banned the production, testing, and deployment of land-based cruise and ballistic missiles with a range of 500 to 5,500 kilometers.

So let us take a look at what President Putin said on Friday at a meeting of Russia’s National Security Council:

As you are aware, several years ago, under a far-fetched pretext, the United States withdrew from this treaty and announced that they would start producing these missile systems.

In 2019, we announced that we would neither produce these missiles, nor deploy them as long as the United States does not deploy such systems anywhere around the globe.

We now know that the United States is not only producing these missile systems, but has brought them to Europe, Denmark, to use in exercises. Not long ago, it was reported that they are in the Philippines. It is unclear whether they have taken these missiles out from the Philippines or not.

In any case, we need to respond to this and decide on our further steps in this regard. It appears that we need to begin producing these attack systems and then, based on the actual situation, decide on where to deploy them to ensure our security, if necessary.........more......

 the reactions to the biden abortion are vast though i suspect you'll be valuing tuckers take on it;

I doubt there’s a person who regularly reads the Treehouse who doesn’t know our long-standing prediction about the 2024 democrat nomination. Factually, if you go back to the first set of articles written after the 2020 election, you will find it has not changed in almost 4 years.

Biden was installed for a single ‘throw every leftist wish list item at the wall‘ term in office.  Biden equaled, one single term where every far-left agenda item would be triggered; with hundreds of millions poured into the donors’ vaults via GND legislation.

With that baseline in mind, we accepted that Biden would not be the left-wing 2024 nominee regardless of how much people stomped their feet and said he would.  That scenario was just never going to happen, and still won’t.   I never flinched from that non-pretending position.

My own prediction was that someone akin to Gavin Newsom would be joined with someone akin to Susan Rice.  I have written about it extensively.  Every single person in/around my orbit knows that for me the conversation in the last 48 hours is like discussing water that lacks dryness.

These are the moments when I just sit and watch.  There’s really not much for me to say or write, other than to wait, then bring everyone into the room of ramifications that comes after walking down the hallway where reality gets accepted.  In the ramification room we start discussing how the multinationals, World Bank, World Trade Organization, NATO, EU, BRICS, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin will respond to the non-pretending reality.

Right now, everyone in the USA is discussing the ‘remove Biden’ political landscape domestically. However, in the bigger picture there’s an entire world of really big issues that come along when the USA media start openly admitting the USA president has dementia. There’s a reason why President Trump refused to engage this conversation before. It’s not good for the world.

When you use a bullhorn to announce the zookeeper is sick, people near the big cats start discussing how to unlock the cages. Yes, sure, people like Barack Obama and his tribe will giggle and laugh, but in the biggest of big pictures this loud public conversation is not good for our country or the world. It is good that we all stop pretending; our Lord knows we have hoped the pretending would cease. But don’t forget to think… and watch out for what comes next.  Here’s Tucker Carlson:........more.........

 here be more 'official' reaction to the biden disaster many of us anticipated;

When I watched the debate, I saw exactly what I expected to see. Pretty much point-by-point, there was nothing that seemed strange or surprising about it. The one pleasant surprise is that there wasn’t a huge back and forth over who was best for the Jews. But otherwise: it was all just exactly what I expected.

What is shocking to me is how shocked everyone else is. Like, was no one paying attention to all of these clips of Biden being completely senile? What I have figured out is that the mainstream media hasn’t been showing these clips. I am in a bubble where I see that stuff, but the majority of the public was apparently unaware just how far gone this guy is.

Now, everyone is freaking out.

Just check these headlines. They are unending. No one is defending Biden. Most of them are calling for him to be replaced...........more............

 a part of the putin decision to ditch the dollar is because its overextended and doomed to collapse soon. another part is to deny the empire the ability to control russia's existence based upon 'permission' to deal with dollar trade;

Russian President Vladimir Putin started long ago to steer Russia away from the global liberal order. One way he did this is by establishing the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) in 2014, which aims to create a new power center to rival the U.S. and Europe. Putin already concluded then that he needed to separate the Eurasian economic zone under the chairmanship of Russia. The embodiment of this idea was the creation of the EAEU.

This was recently revealed by Russian economist Sergei Glazyev during a Moscow FM radio show. He warned also that even back then, Putin already foresaw a looming economic catastrophe for the West due to unsustainable financial practices, predicting global repercussions akin to the Great Depression. This is why, he said, Russia has been preparing to ditch the dollar and international treaties.

"The need to leave the American-centric system and create our own is dictated not only by the fact that the United States cannot and does not want to deal with Russia on equal terms, but also by the fact that the main financial instrument of the West in the form of the dollar is collapsing and very soon its owners will formalize its collapse," Glazyev said in the interview.

According to the economic expert, the U.S. financial elites delayed this collapse for many years as a massive collapse of financial markets in America should have happened back in 2008 when the well-known economic crisis broke out. The administration then printed more fiat money to "save" the economy. So when the American establishment decided to repeat the experience of the financial crisis in 2020 and 2021, once again the government stimulated its already hopeless economy with new gigantic injections of liquidity. Now, statistics show that what they did was just effective for a very short period and led the United States to a dead end........more........

 mr peters makes some good points and asks uncomfortable questions here, concerning the biden;

Picture a couple of piranhas in a fishbowl, cheek to cheek. Each eyeing the other for signs of weakness that, when seen, leads quickly to the one piranha consuming the other. Last night, we watched Joe Biden being eyed – by the Left.

Which is about to consume him.

There is now very little doubt that the obviously senile old grifter is done-for. He is chum. Whatever the Orange Man’s deficits – and they are many – he is not (as yet) a dead man walking. Biden became just that – almost literally – as he shuffled onto the stage last night; his vacant-angry facial expressions could have been crafted by a mortician. He looked, at any rate, like a man who will soon require the services of one.

The pretense that this near-corpse will be the nominee of the Left – there is no longer a “Democratic” Party – is another delusion of our times, along with “safe and effective.” But few believe that anymore, either.

Now the eyes of the piranhas focus on the soon-to-be-chum. It may not even be another week before he is bones scattered on the bottom of the fishbowl, the flesh picked clean.

It is that bad – and they know it is..........more.........

 caitlin brings up a few uncomfortable questions;

It’s very revealing how everybody’s focusing on what Biden’s dementia-addled debate performance says about his ability to win re-election instead of on the fact that the current, sitting president of the United States has dementia.

If you were lucky enough to have missed the debate, Biden was so confused and zoned out that not only did CNN’s audience overwhelmingly say Trump won while the word “dementia” was sent trending on Twitter, but it was also uniformly acknowledged to have been a horrifying catastrophe by Democratic Party operatives and liberal media pundits, who are now widely suggesting that the president should withdraw from the race.

But the conversation has almost entirely revolved around Joe Biden as a presidential candidate, with relatively little attention going to the fact that this person is the president right now. Everyone’s talking about whether Biden can assure American voters that he has what it takes to be president, and nobody seems all that concerned about the fact that he is already president and will remain so for half a year............more........

 

 a few mencken quotes i find useful in the face of the 'debate' and considering some current events;

Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under. H. L. Mencken

Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. H. L. Mencken

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” H.L. M.

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, and intolerable...” ― H.L. Mencken

“The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.” ― H.L. Mencken

“The aim of public education is not] to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence. . . . Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim . . . is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States.” H.L. Mencken

 “Under democracy, one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule — and both commonly succeed, and are right.” H.L. Mencken

 the author labeled this; concerning the debate;

I watched the first Presidential debate since we are on the precipice of WWIII which has a high probability of being a nuclear war. Here are some takeaways:

1. I was surprised that people were disappointed in Biden’s mental faculties. Where have you been?
2. I was looking for some truth concerning Ukraine, Israel, China and the “vaccine” but was disappointed by Trump.
3. I was pleasantly surprised by the moderators and the format.

I will not go over Biden’s performance but I will review shortcomings from Trump:

1. He said that any Ukrainian solution would not involve letting Russia keep the Donbass. Why? This region was bombed by its own government for years (including Trump’s administration). He gave Putin no credit for his restraint and patience: Minsk accords’ treachery, CIA Maidan color revolution, Nord Stream bombing, supplying arms against Russia and sanctions. Sanctions have failed miserably while allowing a new economic alliance based on gold to develop.
2. He will continue to side with Israel and its genocide in the West Bank. He barely mentioned Iran’s role, the impending war with Hezbollah in Lebanon or the humiliation of our Navy by Houthis in Yemen.
3. He did not address Taiwan, North Korea or an impending civil war here.
4. I had hoped to find out who would be his vice-presidential choice.
5. He should have thanked Joe for using lawfare to give his campaign contributions and polls a boost more than a brief mention in passing.

What did I want to see? I wanted to hear Trump state that his priority is to stop a nuclear world war. I wanted him to say that justice will be restored and the people who usurped our Republic would be held accountable. I wanted an outline of his first 100 days and I wanted him to put Congress on notice that they would be held accountable to restoring this nation’s status, economy and eliminating the debt crisis.

In other words, I wanted to know that the government would be held accountable to do the job that they were elected to do. And on that account, I give Trump a failing grade.

David DeGerolamo
