09.23.24-Okay, if you don't like DEI, consider this:
Inclusive Economics offers a pathway to address and puts aside DEI concerns. IE is not about imposing quotas or making token gestures. It is about creating genuine economic opportunities for all. It is not charity; it is a strategic business approach that recognizes the value of all human capital. By focusing on economic empowerment rather than symbolic gestures, IE moves beyond the ideological debates that often surround DEI. It reframes the conversation around shared prosperity and the practical benefits of inclusion for everyone involved. click for more from Time and click this for even more

10.26.24-The 100 Worst Things Trump Has Done Since Descending That Escalator
Some were just embarrassing. Many were horrific.All of them should disqualify him from another four years in the White House.
Some were just embarrassing. Many were horrific.All of them should disqualify him from another four years in the White House.
Trump will forever be tied to the heartless and brutal separation of 5500 immigrant children from their parents, sent to who-knows-where. Some will never see their families again. The Trump administration did not keep records of the family members. Update-11.23.23-1000 children are still separated from their families. A task force also found that 290 of the children removed from their parents were U.S. citizens.
On June 14, 1946, just a little over a year after Hitler died, a new dark force came about. It would go on to poison minds, spread lies and cast a cloud of evil over America and the world.
That date is when Trump was born. |
He has violated all The Seven Deadly Sins: (1) vainglory, or pride, (2) greed, or covetousness, (3) lust, or inordinate or illicit sexual desire, (4) envy, (5) gluttony, (6) wrath, or anger, and (7) sloth. click for complete description)
Trump keeps saying that the court rulings against him are a "bad day for America." Actually that day was June 14, 1946, the day he was born.

Trumps' best friend, Laura Loomer, is a 9/11 denier. She’s a racist and a xenophobe, and a provocateur known for her extreme anti-Muslim beliefs. She’s claimed that school shootings were staged and that the Las Vegas mass shooter was affiliated with ISIS. She attended 9/11 ceremonies with Trump. Who will he let into his circle next? Holocaust denier? Right-wing mass murderer? Who knows? Slime-ball Musk is already |
MAGA Believers: Does this sound familiar?
Adolf Hitler, in his book Mein Kampf, coined the term “big lie”. He asserted that “the great masses of the people… will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one.” This concept refers to a propaganda technique where a known falsehood is stated and repeated as if it were self-evidently true. The goal is to sway public opinion by treating the lie as unquestionable, rather than critically examining it.
Here are the key points about the big lie:
Here are the key points about the big lie:
- Definition: A big lie involves spreading a falsehood so audacious that it seems unbelievable yet appeals to people’s prejudices. Hitler believed that people would accept such a lie if it aligned with their existing biases.
- Examples: Hitler’s use of antisemitism in Nazi propaganda blamed Jews (Now Immigrants?) for Germany’s problems. Other instances include blaming the ‘bourgeoisie’ for workers’ issues or demonizing political opponents.
- Technique: Repeat the lie consistently until it becomes accepted as truth. Present it in bland, matter-of-fact terms to make it more convincing. Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s propaganda minister, echoed this idea: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” He emphasized that the state must suppress dissent to maintain the lie’s influence1.
To understand how the seeds for the Nazi movement were planted In the United States prior to WWII, read this book, a #1 NYT best seller: Prequel. You will then see the similarities between then and now. Click here for a reference to Trump's 'Day One' dictatorship. Don’t scoff at the Hitler comparisons. Trump’s rhetoric is that bad. Click

Why Did Trump Win?
The answer is the right-wing media. Today, the right-wing media—Fox News (and the entire News Corp.), Newsmax, One America News Network, the Sinclair network of radio and TV stations and newspapers, iHeart Media (formerly Clear Channel), the Bott Radio Network (Christian radio), Elon Musk’s X, the huge podcasts like Joe Rogan’s, and much more—sets the news agenda in this country. And they fed their audiences a diet of slanted and distorted information that made it possible for Trump to win. |

12.12.24-THESE ARE JUST (accurate) WORDS McCONNELL. FOLLOW UP WITH SOME ACTION-Mitch McConnell is still throwing jabs at Trump. “We’re in a very, very dangerous world right now, reminiscent of before World War II,” McConnell told the Financial Times. “Even the slogan is the same. ‘America First.’ That was what they said in the ’30s.”He went on to throw stones at Trump’s isolationist tendencies, comparing them to the “raging” President Taft’s. He also said he believes that the “America First” wing of the Republican Party will do irreversible damage to the U.S. standing on the global stage. “To most American voters, I think the simple answer is, ‘Let’s stay out of it.’ That was the argument made in the ’30s and that just won’t work,” McConnell said. “Thanks to Reagan, we know what does work—not just saying peace through strength, but demonstrating it. ”The longest-serving Senate leader also pushed back against Trump’s “enemy within” rhetoric, noting that Russia and China are bigger threats than citizens on American soil. (edited from The New Republic) 12.11.24-CHAOS COMING-These are heady times for MAGA. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Elon Musk are teaming up to slash the government to ribbons as part of Musk’s new Department of Government Efficiency. Marjorie and Musk, what could give MAGA a bigger thrill than that combination? But Politico now reports that some Republicans quietly fear this could backfire. They believe Greene will become a distraction from the Trump and GOP agenda of spending cuts and shrinking government. Distraction is Washington speak for disaster. As it is, putting Musk’s right-wing “techbro” worldview anywhere near serious governance is already dangerous, but throwing in MTG could make it even more combustible. And this could have major implications for all of us. MJT is a ticking time bomb. With Musk in the mix, you have two ticking time bombs together. The first thing that tells me about DOGE is that this is going to be crazy town. Greene has no filter and no standards, and Musk and Trump are planning to make this as outrageous as possible with little concern for public opinion. MJT being included is like throwing gasoline on a fire. (The New Republic) 12.10.24-BEST TRUTH EVER-Tom Nichols of NBC News pointed out that when Trump ran for the presidency this year, he “wasn’t running to do anything. He was running to stay out of jail. The rest he doesn’t care about.” AND THIS: YAY! Alex Jones Isn't Getting Out Of $965 Million Verdict To Sandy Hook Families, Appeals Court Says. The Connecticut Appellate Court determined there's “sufficient evidence” to support the damages awarded to relatives of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre victims and an FBI agent. 12.09.24-DONALD DICTATOR-A question for Americans concerns the fact that in six weeks, Trump is going to be the president. The surprising events in Syria serve as a harrowing reminder that there’s a big, complicated world out there and Trump is going to be the single most powerful person in it—the “horse in a hospital” that comedian John Mulaney likened him to. And the weird, and worrying, thing is that even though Trump was president before, we don’t really know all that much about his foreign policy instincts. We might wind up where the U.S. under Trump just becomes another member-state of the Global Authoritarian Caucus—Russia, China, Iran, Egypt, Turkey, Hungary, El Salvador, and so many others. These sorts of despots are the type of corrupt rulers the United States of America used to oppose. Under Trump—who said on Meet the Press Sunday that he might indeed look to leave NATO—it’s a club of maniacs that the U.S. is very likely to join. (edited from The New Republic) 12.08.24-MORE POLICY FOR MAGA TO IGNORE-If Trump’s public statements and the actions of his first administration are any guide, the new administration appears poised to expand detention facilities, attempt to reinstitute family separations, end programs like temporary protected status, deputize state and local officials and members of the military as immigration officers, and attempt to eliminate or limit the right to asylum for individuals fleeing persecution. But for those familiar with the nation’s immigration system, a key question about mass deportations is how the administration will contend with the need to hold hearings for individuals apprehended within the U.S. Generally, noncitizens who are present in the country (as opposed to arriving at the border) may be deported only following a hearing at which they can present evidence that they’re not deportable or are eligible for asylum. U.S. immigration courts have yearslong backlogs, so the need for hearings is likely to be a key choke point in Trump’s plan to rapidly deport millions. Perhaps the administration will just ignore the hearing requirement, because it has no intention of operating a “precise, legal” deportation scheme. (slate.com) 12.07.24-EVEN NEWSMAX HAS A PROBLEM BUT WE SHOULD REALIZE THAT TRUMP JUST THROWS NAMES IN THE HAT AND DOESN'T REALLY CARE ABOUT THEIR MORALS OF FITNESS FOR THE JOB. Pete Hegseth’s bid for defense secretary is so radioactive that even a Newsmax host who once worked for Fox News like Hegseth is railing against it. Greg Kelly on Thursday called Hegseth “blackmailable” after previously noting his “serious baggage.” What’s more, Kelly uncharacteristically took issue with Trump for nominating Hegseth in the first place. “I love President Trump, but he’s not infallible,” Kelly explained. “And from time to time, you know, personnel mistakes will be made.” Despite disagreeing with Hegseth’s support of the Iraq War, Kelly was prepared to back him until he heard that Hegseth agreed to pay a woman who accused him of sexual assault, although he denied wrongdoing. “I was once accused of sexual assault, falsely,” Kelly said. “I would never in a billion years pay that person a dime. That doesn’t sound like a fighter. That sounds like somebody who’s blackmailable. And I’m not comfortable with that individual being the secretary of defense.” (edited from Huff Post) 12.06.24-YOU BETTER HAVE A BIBLE WHEN THEY COME CALLING- From displaying the Ten Commandments to demanding that teachers use the Bible in their classrooms, conservatives seem determined to blur the lines between church and state by infusing Christianity into public schools. And with Trump headed back to the White House and a conservative majority in the U.S. Supreme Court, reshaping the country’s education system is looking increasingly feasible. Late last month, the Texas State Board of Education approved a Bible-based curriculum for public school students in kindergarten through fifth grade. The material uses the Bible in a variety of lessons, including directly quoting from it, as well as teaching about Creationism — the Christian belief that God created the Earth in one week — and the crucifixion of Jesus.“ [Conservatives] have glommed onto schools as a place to indoctrinate students,” Rachel Laser, the president and CEO of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State told HuffPost. “They want to raise the next generation to learn false history, illegitimate science, and to favor Christianity over other faiths and nonreligion.” (edited from the The Huffington Post) |
