We must resolve, with unwavering purpose, that their efforts were not in vainโ€”that this nation shall experience a renewed birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. (3/3)

Today, we are called to test whether that nation, or any nation built on such principles, can truly endure. It falls to us now to carry forward the unfinished work that those who came before us so nobly advanced. (2/3)

To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln -
Two hundred and nine years ago, our forefathers founded a new nation on this continentโ€”born of liberty and committed to the ideal that all people are created equal. (1/3)

Letโ€™s be perfectly clearโ€ฆ

When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is โ€˜the role of Congressโ€™ to remove him from officeโ€ฆ

Full stop.

Any Questions?!

I attended the Spring Grove School Board meeting last night. Board Members actually stated they voted for budgets in the past without actually knowing what was in the budget. Then lectured the audience about how to run a for profit business, as if the education of your children were a business.

When we talk about trade deficits it would be interesting to look at the per capita differences. 350 million Americans buying from a country with 10 million people. Of course the 10 million wonโ€™t buy as much from 350 million.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

Hell, when I listened to my NPR news summary I heard about a โ€œSorosโ€ backed candidate winning in #Wisconsin and two Trump backed candidates winning โ€œdecisivelyโ€.

Iโ€™m not saying everyone needs to do *this*.

But @booker.senate.gov figured out the biggest best thing HE could do right now. And then he did it.

Everyone needs to do *that*.

The second time it played the reference to Soros was no longer there and the Trump backed candidates won in "closer than expected" races.
Curious.

Colleen wasn't present for the summary and later when she came in the room I told her it appeared that NPR has been corrupted by the fascist regime. She asked how...so I told her to listen to the NPR news summary. 3/4

When I listened this morning, the summary discussed how a "George Soros" backed candidate won in Wisconsin and how two Trump backed candidates "decisively" won in Florida. 2/4

Interesting - We have a Google Audio system at home. In the morning I tell Google "Good Morning" and it provides the weather and a news summary from channels I select. The 1st channel is NPR. 1/4

I think progressives have had a problem with "purity tests" (the need for all leaders to have tightly aligned perspectives or else stay quiet about it)

And I think the Democratic Party has had a problem with being...undemocratic - with too much power in the institution and not in the people.

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employeesโ€ฆ is it sinking in yet?

Breathtaking.

A federal prosecutor in LA was fired Friday at the behest of the White House, after lawyers for a fast-food executive he was prosecuting pushed officials in DC to drop all charges against him

White House ordered firing of L.A. federal prosecutor on ex-Fatburger CEO case, sources say

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.
