It is highly unlikely that any Congressperson will ever read the “Big Beautiful Bill,” not even the President.
These are busy people that have far more pressing, enjoyable options, crucial to their maintaining status and power. Besides, if they read it, few would be able to digest or comprehend the thousand pages of legalese in which it is written.
How these legislators abide by the oath each took to “well and faithfully discharge the duties of their office,” is to listen to, and adopt the point of view that attracts the largest covey of the subservient.
It is unfortunate that Trump got on the Knowledge-Go-Round so late in life.
I was with Trump on bunker busting their nuclear sites. After all, you just cannot allow such a despicable rouge state with the mantra “Death to America” to have nuclear weapons. Hell, they had built over 3000 ballistic missiles and enriched uranium to weapons grade, far beyond what is needed to generate power.
So, yeah, lets buy some time, bust it up, so we can get back to the Barack Obama deal that Trump trashed, where we do exactly what Ronald Reagon insisted, “Trust but verify.”.
Mackenzie Scott, who graduated from Princeton, where Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison described her as one of the best students she has ever had, who became a bestselling author, made Amazon by developing its early days with its name, business plan, accounts, even negotiating its first crucial freight contracts. Thus, becoming one of the richest people in the world, who then began infusing the most needy, most promising with most of her wealth.
For this:
Lauren Sanchez, who graduated from Del Norte High School in New Mexico, where she participated in cheerleading and student assembly. Moved to California where she won the international Models World Magazine Cover Girl Competition and entered the entertainment industry. And finally spends 50 million dollars of her fiancée’s money to rent Vence for her wedding.
How can anyone just not want to puke about those suckling fortunes off the masses and creating worlds all for themselves?
Take just one teensy example, a favorite: Lindsey Graham, who Trump called a “disgrace, nut job, one of the dumbest human beings,” who is now tethered on the ring Trump had punched through his nose.
Today, Lindsey just hobbles dutifully along, echoing his master’s every whim, just as he did during his long-lost salad days when he did the same for his buddy, John McCain with his spine to crawl up on.
Islamic leadership that clings to a mindset locked in the Middle Ages, organized to end another inch of advance for women or any other minority or religious sect, endlessly preaching death to Americans, histories most advanced civilization.
Let me be clear, I think the assassination of Trump would be repulsive.
However, I am surprised that in America, such evil still exists.
Even Hitler had at least 40 attempts, many by insiders, but with Trump no insider will do what over 700,000 of our family members, neighbors and fellow defenders of democracy have done: Die in freedom’s defense.
Subverting the 2020 election and having his sycophants attack the capitol.
Abusing his pardon power to release the vilest attackers of democracy.
Using the “bully pulpit” to spread lies and hate.
Withholding funds from Ukraine in support of one of the world’s most hideous dictators.
Hinging all new government appointments to lackeys, compliant to any whim.
Dismissing all whistle blowers, anyone disagreeing with him.
Scrounging what cash he can for his family, off the most need of a hand up.
With a Congress subservient, and the Supreme Court neutered with his appointees, all hope resides, where it has always resided, in the democracy our American ancestors gave birth to, and died to preserve – YOU!
.By 1922, the Ottomans massacre over a million Assyrian
By 1930, the Soviet Union starves 4 million Ukrainians.
By 1945, the Germans shot or gas 6 million Jews.
By 1979, the Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge slaughter 3 million intellectuals, Christians and Muslims.
By 1971, the Bangladesh army ends 3 million Hindus, doctors, journalists, professors in a “classicide” massacred.
By 1994, the Rwandan Hutu’s bludgeon and machete 500,000 Tutsis.
In 2025, 50,000 Gazans have been blown into pieces.
Last week, Vance Boelter, an Evangelical Christian began the murdering of registered democrats.
Today, Richard Kimball, an anti-war pacifist, tried to pick a fight with a fellow tossing a cup from his truck, while his oversized Trump flag flapped off its end.
Luckily, Kimball 76, found his fellow American less angry than he.
Never mind that he claims responsibility for parking dead bears in Central Park. Never mind the worm he claims ate its way into his brain. Kennedy has stumbled on the truth I have long been straining to uncover “Fluoride causes low IQ and brain damage.”
That’s it, that must be it! Fluoride has made Americans stupid.
In spite, of all those Trump intimates, the Generals, Chiefs of Staff, even Musk, broadcasting Trumps childish, ignorant nature, millions that don’t know him, never worked with him or have ever even seen him, are stuck on him.
Why is it that so many Americans not in the know, without the teensy bit of know, lock on, despite what those in the know are screaming at them.
We once all wished for, could hardly wait for, dreamed about being adult, when we could do ANYTHING in that otherly world where there’s no more grabbing your hand telling you to look both ways, no you can’t have this, you can’t have that, stand up straight, sit up, brush your teeth, wash your hands, finish your vegetables, say your prayers, stop picking your nose, go to sleep.
After what seemed eons, that dreamed of day arrives at that arbitrary digit set for all, 18.
Now you have all the ice cream you want, go where you want, cuss, drink, smoke, pop pills, get tattoos and do the diddily, even slaughter animals, including people, if you register with the right group.
They have itty bitty, tinny weenie, scrappy lives, some leaning female, some male. Born in captivity, they live for months dreaming of freedom. If released, they are discharged with 10s of millions, all wiggling and straining to find the one home given to the first that gets there.
How can you not have compassion for the littlest losers dying by the millions, lost, starving for love, or just drying up in the bed sheets?

The few males in a hive just wander around looking for some queen to stick it too, while the females do all the work.
If there is trouble, it is the females that have the stinging weapon and launch into battle often giving up their lives, while the bigger males just pretend to be girls to save themselves.
If our hive is to be saved, it will be women that do it!
I must have been asleep and missed the Kool-Aid refreshments. For when I awoke, England, Canada, Germany, Australia, Demark, France, all democracies our fathers once died for, were now enemies. While Russia, North Korea, Saudia Arabia, murderous tyrannies we once hated, now our best buddies.
“It doesn’t matter that the Army no longer needs or wants the armory, we must keep it open to support the jobs. Jobs equal votes.”
“What the Hell? He voted to subsidize tobacco growers? How can that be, we all live in Arizona?”
“Oh that. We needed to support North Carolina tobacco growers, or their congressmen won’t vote to support our ditch from the Colorado River to Phoenix and Tucson to sell more property.”
I was a young Washington staffer, when I heard such things, they had all been my bosses, all prominent Presidential candidates and Democrats. Yes, it isn’t just Republicans that lack the courage to lead.
Political leaders don’t often stay well-grounded citizen servants. Republicans and Democrats become dizzy under the relentless ladling of self-serving partisan slop that fertilizes big heads.
An 18th century Scottish Historian argued that America’s freedom fighters were anchored in courage and if successful, would find liberty and great abundance, but abundance would lead to selfishness, then a complacency that would return them to bondage.
I spent 33 years locked in a promise I made Presidents Ford and Carter. I would not involve myself in partisan politics while running the organization we had begun.
Once retired, I still would not involve in political discussions. That isn’t to say I had nothing to say, it is just after those 33 years of struggling to help people deal with the facts, I am no longer interested in what anyone else thinks.
From where I have stood, no one thinks. Like eating a Big Mack to satisfy their hunger, people have become accustomed to tunning into some political preacher who says what satisfies and then mimics them with “lock box” conviction.
When politics becomes the conversation, I have become a joke. “Mention politics,” they say, “if you want to watch Kimball walk out of the room.”
If I am stuck, as the other day, with a devoted Christian, Trump supporter and close friend, who thought him God’s tool to make things wrong, right again, I simply agree.
Yes, Jesus was selfless, thoughtful, kind, forgiving with endless compassion for the suffering, downtrodden and all those without hope. Trump, his doppelganger – very difficult to see much difference.
Daily, millions of our fellow citizens enter that condition.
As the absurdity of supporting this quasar of toddler self-indulgent nonsense begins to roost in bank accounts, a day of clarity presents itself.
It isn’t that right wing media begins to crack, or even Congressional fanaticos suddenly skulking for self-preservation, it is The People, whose roots lock back in and the human desire for justice and fair play is renourished.
