When YOU break the law, rebellion is required. Our legislators ARE EXPECTED TO STOP DICTATORIAL ACTION BY ANY ONE PERSON IN THIS COUNTRy! especially in the seat of government. NO ONE IS KING HERE. NO ONE HAS MORE POWER THAN ANYONE ELSE HERE to deny anyone else's rights. When you deport and imprison without proof, without evidence , without due process of law YOU BREAK THE LAW. When you take people's taxes and spend it on yourself instead of on them, YOU BREAK THE LAW. When you ignore the law, refuse to follow the law, refuse to follow the courts, refuse to uphold the Constitution of this country, you break the law. IT IS NOT A CRIME TO STOP A DICTATOR FROM OVERTHROWING REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT!!

"Rudeness I see aggressive language and writing, a behavior most evident on social media. It's an escalation of "rudeness": the more "bad" you are, the more you write bad things, the more you choose the most hurtful insults, the more you "win." You lose as a human being, but you win in confrontation: without argument, just pure insult. Once upon a time, those who behaved badly were automatically excluded, but today "wins" are recognized only by those at the same level (unfortunately, Facebook is full of mediocre people). A human defeat disguised as a ridiculous victory. Do we want to be just that? A nickname tied to how aggressive we are in our language?"

'MEIDAS TOUCH:Donald Trump woke up to a flurry of bad headlines and poll numbers that tell a story of political collapse and economic mismanagement. The latest Gallup poll found that Americans now trust Democrats over Republicans to “keep the country prosperous,” by a margin of 47% to 43%. Just a year ago, Republicans led that same question by 13 points. That’s a 17-point swing, a direct reflection of Trump’s disastrous leadership.At the same time, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Treasury Department has quietly instructed its employees not to share photos of the ongoing “ballroom construction” at the White House, a project that has already led to the demolition of parts of the East Wing. Treasury officials, whose building sits adjacent to the White House, reportedly have a front-row view of what can only be described as desecration.Then there’s the economy. Small businesses across the country are sounding the alarm over Trump’s tariffs, which economists have called “a massive warning for the economy.” The Chamber of Commerce has even sued the Trump administration over a new $100,000 H-1B visa fee, another policy that is crippling American companies while pretending to protect them. A coalition of businesses is also urging the Supreme Court to strike down Trump’s global tariffs, calling them an “illegal $3 trillion tax” on American industry.Bloomberg published yet another damning report, this one declaring: “The U.S. has no China policy, no strategy, and no clue.” The analysis described the Trump administration’s foreign policy as “strategic schizophrenia.” I would remove the word “strategic.” It’s just schizophrenia. And it’s emblematic of why Trump bankrupted so many businesses before he ever entered politics.Meanwhile, as the fragile ceasefire between Hamas and Israel unravels, Trump posted a rambling and incoherent statement on social media, boasting that “numerous of our now great allies in the Middle East… have explicitly and strongly with great enthusiasm” agreed to his plan to “straighten our Hamas” (yes, his post included that typo). The sentence barely makes grammatical sense, but it’s clear he’s once again playing geopolitical pyromaniac, praising autocrats, confusing facts, and stoking instability for his own image.Even Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, couldn’t hide the corruption when asked about the ceasefire. “Well, Jared’s the investor,” Vance replied. Excuse me? That’s a stunning admission that Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, has personal financial stakes in the region. Just as we’ve been saying.The chaos doesn’t stop there. While China builds the world’s largest solar farms, Trump has canceled approval for a 6.2-gigawatt clean energy project in Nevada, gutting American leadership in the global renewable market. The New York Times reported that Chinese companies now produce 60% of the world’s wind turbines and 80% of its solar panels — a direct result of Trump’s assault on climate policy.And back in Washington, MAGA Republicans continue to hold the government hostage, refusing to fund healthcare subsidies for 20 million Americans. “We don’t have a strategy,” Speaker Mike Johnson admitted during a press conference. When confronted about the health care crisis, he even blamed the Affordable Care Act for existing, rather than the Republican sabotage that is threatening to bankrupt working families.As if the day couldn’t get darker, news broke that a pardoned January 6 rioter, Christopher Moynihan, was arrested for threatening to assassinate House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Trump personally pardoned him.Yet amid this chaos, Trump has found time to announce $40 billion in U.S. funds to Argentina, a move that has already failed to stabilize that country’s currency, enriching Trump-aligned investors while Americans struggle to pay rent and afford groceries.And now, he’s calling for the U.S. to import beef from Argentina, abandoning American cattle ranchers just as he’s betrayed soybean farmers.This is what happens when corruption replaces competence. When narcissism replaces governance. When a con man mistakes the Oval Office for a casino floor."

Is that all there is……People are afraid to die. People don’t want to die.So everything we do, is because we do not want to die.It is an instinct we are born with, they say.Why are we afraid to die……I think it is because we see dying, death…as pain and suffering. All our lives are about avoiding, preventing pain and suffering.I think this was so, before “gods”.After “gods”, we were afraid to die for continued pain and suffering in an “Afterlife”.Where did these ideas come from?Somebody thought them up. And because humans did not know for certain…..those ideas stayed around.They got elaborated further and further.There are those who say it is more that we want peace and joy…..that everything we do is to get peace and joy.Why do we want peace and joy…..because the opposite is pain and suffering….and we do not want that.What about those who are ready to die….who want to die…..They are experiencing pain and suffering…and see no way out…..no way to stop it while they are still alive.Everything we build, construct, create…..I think is to avoid thinking about dying. Everything we do is to distract from thinking about dying.And it is not really “thinking” about dying…..It is about the “feelings”, the “emotions” we experience around dying. Our “emotions” are what differentiate us from the rest of organic life here.Our “emotions” are physical-chemical-electrical-biological.Animals have that. Those glandular excretions are what keep them from death…..though they are not “conscious” of that.Humans have that too. If you put your hand on a hot stove, your body immediately pulls it away before you have a chance to consciously make that choice. Most of us who drive have had that experience when a possible accident is imminent, and we experience everything going into slow motion,when our body simply takes over our responses. How many times do people nearly miss incredible damage or death, and call it a ”miracle”……The level of our “consciousness” is also what differentiates us from the rest of organic life. We are “self-aware” on a level other organic life is not.There is a great amount of research and study now, on what “consciousness” is. This does not go on in the rest of organic life here.Animals seem to operate primarily on an inborn “instinct”….and on some level of “learning” as well……but not to the extent of humans.Human “consciousness” is what creates theories of “gods”, and builds rituals around those theories called “religions”. No other organic life form does that.We do see what look like “rituals” other organic life performs, but this is around attracting mates, procreation and the care of the young.Again this seems to be inborn unconscious “instinct” rather than “conscious” learning or conscious choice.We do see “attachment” amongst animals. We have theories about that. One theory says that if you put the scent of an individual animal on another individual, or on an object, that attachment will happen….because instinct makes it recognize its own scent. Cats are comfortable in places where they pick up their own scent. In studies, the scent of one animal was placed on another, and the first animal will attach to the other.There are also instances of opposites, of predators and prey becoming companions with each other instead of meals.I have not seen that one explained, though I have seen a lot of examples in life.All our human lives seem to be built around avoiding death. We have gotten very elaborate in all our behavior to avoid, to prevent, to stave off death.Politics…..the worst of all our attempts to avoid death, which includes eliminating the very resources we have to have to stay alive…..a trump Fascist Regime right now, creating as much death as it can, that it thinks will assure the survival of its numbers, by reducing the numbers of all the rest here scrabbling for the few resources everyone needs to survive.There are other better ways to do that….that have already and repeatedly been proven…..and trump is erasing that history, so that you will think trump is the only possible way…..which is The REAL Dumbing Down of America.
