Facebook Entries on Trump
Mexico didn't pay for the wall. He
didn't lock up Hillary Clinton. He never released his tax returns. We never got
DOGE checks. We were never going to get tariff dividend checks (always an odd
concept considering we would just be getting back our money since we paid the
tariffs). He didn't end the war in Ukraine "with one phone call." He
didn't "bring prices down on Day 1." He didn't cut energy bills in
half "within 12 months." He did start the war in Iran he promised he
would never start. Over a decade later, we've still never seen any kind of
health care bill from him.
Time after time, Donald Trump makes
his supporters look like fools, and they just keep cheering him on.
For six years, he's claimed the
"evidence is overwhelming" that the 2020 election was "totally
stolen." Well, he's been back as president for a year and a half —
one-third of his presidency — and where's the evidence? He essentially has
unlimited resources at his disposal, and we've seen nothing. He's proven
nothing. He's just been doing what he always does — whining and crying about
the fact he lost to Joe Biden.
Six years of all that whining, all
those attempts to subvert our democracy, and he's one-third of the way through
his presidency and still hasn't proven anything. Because it's always been a lie
from a man who claims anything that doesn't go his way is "totally
rigged."
It's the same nonsense with
"Democrats rig elections," as Republicans control all of Congress and
the White House. Another whiny conspiracy he pushes that's not backed by
reality.
Throughout his 2016 campaign, he made
locking up Hillary Clinton a pillar of the propaganda he pushed at his rallies.
His cult chanted "lock her up!" all the time. Well, he got elected
president — that went away very quickly. It was all a lie. Just anti-Democrat
red meat he was feeding the gullible to distract them from the fact that he's
never had any actual policy ideas.
Such as the health care bill I
mentioned. For over a decade, he's claimed the plan was just about to be
unveiled and that it would be the "best health care plan" we've ever
seen.
He's never — not once — produced
anything.
The war in Ukraine he would "very
easily" end — what a joke. He spent the better part of the past year
sucking up to Vladimir Putin, literally rolling out a red carpet for him on
American soil, while he berated the Ukrainian president at the White House, and
the Russian dictator has done nothing but blow off this president and ignore
all of his weak threats that Russia needs to accept a deal "or else."
This idea that Trump's some sort of
"master negotiator" is absurd. The Iranians are publicly mocking this
president and his administration as we're working on ending the war he started
with them that he claims was "totally won" weeks ago — as we're
heading into its fourth month.
But that's okay. After all, do you
know how long we were in Vietnam? You know things haven't gone as planned in
Iran when he's evoking Vietnam trying to make his war appear better.
Inflation is at three-year highs.
However, even before his war in Iran, it wasn't any better than it was during
Biden's last year in office. From October 2024 to January 2025, Biden's last
few months in office, the average inflation was 2.6%.
You know what it was from October 2025
to January 2026?
2.55%.
Electric prices? Nope, they didn't go
down either — and they sure as heck weren't "cut in half" within 12
months.
The average kilowatt-hour in 2024:
16.48 cents.
The average kilowatt-hour in 2025:
17.30 cents.
That's a 5% year-over-year increase,
and it just keeps going up. This year's projection is expected to be around
18–18.2 cents per kilowatt-hour.
So much for cutting those electric
bills "in half."
The worst part is, his cult just keeps
making excuses for him. It's not as if we're telling him to make up these lies.
He did that all on his own to manipulate people dumb enough to believe him. All
folks like myself are doing is using his own words — which there's ample video
evidence to prove — to hold him accountable, as we all know he's always been
completely full of crap.
It's why I've said his legacy as one
of the worst presidents in history won't just be sealed by his decision-making
and incompetence, but by the millions of supporters who simply refuse to hold
him accountable for anything. Because doing so would force them to admit that
they were wrong and that all those "libtards" they've been
brainwashed into believing are the true enemy of the United States have been
right about him all along.
And at the end of the day, that's
really what this comes down to. They will go down with that sinking ship
because that's preferable to most of them than having to admit that we've been
right about this con artist for the past decade — while he's been treating them
like dumb, mindless sheep willing to believe anything he tells them, just as
long as it's what they want to believe is true.

BRITISH WRITER PENS THE BEST
DESCRIPTION OF TRUMP
Someone asked "Why do some
British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty
writer from England wrote the following response:
A few things spring to mind. Trump
lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance,
he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit,
no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no
humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which
his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.
So for us, the stark contrast does
rather throw Trump's limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump
may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly
amusing – not once, ever.
I don't say that rhetorically, I mean
it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly
disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost
inhuman.
But with Trump, it's a fact. He
doesn't even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass
comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And
like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.
And scarily, he doesn't just talk in
crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple
bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never
any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It's all surface.
Some Americans might see this as
refreshingly upfront. Well, we don't. We see it as having no inner world, no
soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our
heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump
is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He's not
even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He's more a fat white slug. A
Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most
unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is
among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.
There are unspoken rules to this stuff
– the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches
downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he
aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or
voiceless or female – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a
significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does,
listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy' is
a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given
that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer
than us, and most are.
• You don't need a particularly keen
eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially
confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem
pretty bloody hard to miss.
After all, it's impossible to read a
single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into
the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of
pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have
flaws, and so on ad infinitum.
God knows there have always been
stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has
stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look
trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a
monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

Dear Trumpublicans....
You really need to stop comparing your
dislike of former President Joe Biden with our disdain of Donald Trump.
Joe Biden didn't brag about sexually
assaulting women. He never called Mexicans rapists. And he didn’t have an
extensive relationship with a sexual predator named Jeffrey Epstein.
Biden didn't spend years harassing a
former POTUS, saying he wasn't born in America. He didn't refuse to release his
tax returns. He didn’t knowingly steal and store highly classified documents
upon leaving office.
Biden didn't settle multiple lawsuits,
including some for fraud and numerous sexual assault and housing discrimination
charges.
Joe Biden didn't pay a porn star hush
money to hide an affair nor cheat on his wife.
Biden didn't work with Russians to
steal an election. Biden wasn impeached twice. And Joe Biden wasn't forced to
pay $83 million to a woman he raped.
Biden wasn't indicted on 91 felony
charges. And Joe Biden didn't incite a violent insurrection on January 6.
Joe Biden and Donald Trump are not the
same—not even close! Trying to compare them and what Joe Biden did and what
Donald Trump is doing now is beyond absurd!
So STOP, just STOP…!

One could say from recent events that
Trump has been able to withstand the kind of scandals that would have sunk
anyone else's political career. He's a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist,
a con man who ran a fake charity and university, a notorious womanizer who
cheated on all of his 3 wives, a failed business man who bankrupted all of his
casinos, and a glutenous grifter who has amassed a fortune as president.
While he has promised prosperity
during his tenure, all we have seen are ruinous policies such as his tariffs,
rising costs on groceries, pains at the pump, and disruption of the world peace
through his war on Iran. Amazingly, this hasn't affected Trump's perception of
himself. It's as if he's riding proudly in a golden carriage among the poor and
homeless oblivious to what is actually surrounding him. This isn't leadership,
it's cognitive dissonance. One of the campaign slogans that were used when he was
running for his second term was he can fix it. Well if this is fixing it I'd
hate to see what breaking it would be like. At this point it looks like the
only ones who are going to fix this will be the voters at the mid terms.

The limerence is fading a little. You
can feel it now with some Trump voters, including close friends of mine.
The infatuation is not what it was.
The mess is getting harder to ignore. The failures are piling up too high to
decorate away with memes, nicknames, and truck decals.
But what still holds the whole thing
together is the same old trick: the misdirected hatred of the left.
That is the masterstroke of MAGA.
Not making America great again.
Not governing well.
Not strengthening the country.
No. The real genius move was
convincing millions of Americans that the greatest threat to the United States
is… other Americans.
Not hostile foreign powers.
Not propaganda networks.
Not oligarchs, grifters, or
authoritarian movements.
Not the global forces actively trying
to weaken democratic institutions and destabilize the West.
No, no. The real enemy, they were
told, is the school principal in Ann Arbor with pronouns in her email
signature. The public health lady in Seattle. The Black congresswoman from
Oakland. Your vegan nephew in Philadelphia. The lesbian city council member in
Madison. The left. Fellow Americans.
And once you pull that off, you can
get people to forgive almost anything.
I was sitting with a group of close
friends the other day — Trump voters, all of them — and one of them criticized
Trump.
This was encouraging for about nine
seconds.
I leaned in, briefly allowing myself
to believe I was about to witness a small outbreak of civic clarity among
people I actually know and care about.
Instead, another one shrugged and
said:
“Well, what were we supposed to do,
vote for Kamala?”
And there it is.
That’s the whole scam.
Because apparently the one truly
unforgivable sin in American politics was electing a normal Democrat.
Not the war with Iran.
Not the dead Americans.
Not the damage to our alliances.
Not the corruption.
Not the clowns in charge.
Not turning the Strait of Hormuz into
a geopolitical carnival ride run by arsonists.
One of the Americans killed was Sgt.
1st Class Noah Tietjens, a Nebraska kid from my hometown of Ord.
So when people talk about Trump’s
strength, I would genuinely like to know which part of this masterpiece was
worth Noah’s life.
Was it the part where American power
got used with the strategic elegance of a folding chair in a bar fight?
Was it the part where global energy
markets started twitching like a patient in a period drama?
Was it the part where the United
States looked so stable and reassuring that our allies now react to us like
dinner guests watching a man stand up, loosen his tie, and begin shouting at a
salt shaker?
And then there is the corruption. The
vulgarity. The daily low-rent constitutional vandalism.
Pam Bondi gets fired for not going
hard enough after Trump’s enemies (or was it for botching the Epstein coverup?)
and gets replaced by his personal lawyer.
Kristi Noem. Pete Hegseth. Tulsi
Gabbard. Kash Patel.
I mean, what is this?
And still, after all of it, the
defense is:
“Yeah, but Kamala.”
You did not have to love Kamala
Harris.
You did not have to admire every
speech.
You did not have to enjoy the laugh.
But there is no serious argument that
she would have been more reckless, more corrupt, more destabilizing, more
humiliating, more weakening to the US, or more dangerous than this.
None.
What there is, is a media machine that
has spent years teaching decent people to direct their fear and anger sideways
— at fellow Americans — instead of upward and outward at the actual forces
hollowing out the country.
That is the trick.
Get the right to hate the left more
than they love the country.
Get them to see teachers, liberals,
civil servants, academics, journalists, and urban voters as a greater threat
than corruption, foreign manipulation, authoritarianism, or democratic
collapse.
Get them to treat their neighbors as
invaders and their grifters as saviors.
And once that wiring is in place, they
will stand in the increasingly obvious wreckage and still ask:
“Well, what were we supposed to do,
vote for Kamala?”
Yes.
That was one of the available options.
And looking at the smoking crater
where American credibility, competence, and dignity used to be, it was very
obviously the less insane one.

The Ship is Sinking
There is a ship that boasts of
strength, plated in pride and painted with promises, yet beneath the surface
it’s hull is already rendered useless by deception and compromise.
The Trump Ship: Admiraled by Donny
Trump, Captained by J. D. Vance, First Mated by Marco Rubio, and Second Mated
by Pete Hegseth is that ship. It sails not on the steady waters of truth, peace
and haronomy, but on waves stirred by division, exaggeration, and
self-exaltation. Scripture warns of such vessels: “Pride goes before
destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18). What appears
mighty for a moment can, in due time, reveal fractures that no slogan can seal.
Admiral Trump, who trusts in his own
cunning more than in common sense, charts a dangerous course for troubled
waters. For it is written, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its
end is the way of death” (Proverbs 14:12). When truth is bent into stubity and
character is traded for victory, the compass spins wildly. The keel is not
strong enough to stand up to the dangerous rocks beneath the surface, and the
hull is damaged beyond repair. But still, the rats do not leave the sinking
ship.
The distress call went unheeded by His
kiss-butt crew members: “When they say, ‘Peace and safety,’ then sudden
destruction comes upon them” (1 Thessalonians 5:3). Not all aboard recognize
the signs, some cheer louder as the vessel tilts, mistaking momentum for
stability. Yet wisdom is not found in the crew as Admiral Trump doubles down
and pushes the throttle Into full speed ahead unable to discern the times.
And so the call goes forth, not of
mockery, but of awakening: “Come out from among them and be separate” (2
Corinthians 6:17). The wise do not wait for the final the rush of water into
the hold. They heed the Spirit early. They deboard the Trump ship of deceit and
the Life Boat anchored in truth, humility, and love.
For there is always a Life-Boat, not
of political allegiance, but of eternal substance. Christ did not teach
domination, but surrender; not manipulation, but truth; not self-glory, but
sacrificial love. “Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does them will be
like a wise man who built his house on the rock” (Matthew 7:24). When the storm
rages, the difference is revealed.
Put the pirate ship “Trump” can’t be
saved by louder voices or stronger defenses. The question is whether the
passengers are willing to leave what is unstable for what is unshakable. The
waters are rising, the warnings are clear, yet wisdom still calls out in the
open, but the pirates choose not the Life-Boat “Grace” anchored to the Rock
“Jesus” and continues its course to destruction.

He’s tariffed just about everyone but
Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You’ve said nothing.
He attacked a nation during mediated
negotiations. You said nothing.
His ill-conceived war killed 175
little girls in its first days. You’ve said nothing.
He’s alienated and insulted more
countries than I can keep track of. You’ve said nothing.
His ICE Army is terrorizing and
murdering U.S. citizens. You've said nothing.
He has committed murder on the high
seas. You've said nothing.
He's co-opted the Justice Department

This will be my last post about Donald
Trump. Please consider reading it.
I watched WAKE UP DEAD MAN for the
fourth time last night. It speaks to me on a core level. This line (pictured)
is everything.
I just had a former Facebook friend
attack me personally in my DM's while defending a man who threatened genocide,
attacked the Pope, and portrayed himself as Jesus Christ, all in the past week.
While attacking MY character, he
explained that Trump is trying to get a rise out of people, is a genius playing
four-dimensional chess, etc. etc.
The truth is, I really don't care if
Donald Trump is being strategic or if he's an insane narcissist. I suspect it's
both.
There are lines you don't cross, no
matter what your endgame or strategy is. Trump has crossed SO many of them. And
he's done it while taking my Lord's name in vain and draping himself in an
American flag.
Watch WAKE UP DEAD MAN. Study how
Wicks radicalizes his followers, as well as what he stands for.
Yes, the film is a work of fiction,
but it's smart, insightful, and holds a mirror up to our times.
Trump has said and done enough that
many who followed him are waking up and abandoning ship. What he's doing is not
what they thought they were signing up for.
The others, I'm done wasting my social
media space trying to reach. I don't know how you justify the cruelty of ICE,
AI videos of Trump literally sh*tting on his opponents, or a million other
things.
SO many people who personally know him
have defected and warned the American public about him. As Jesus said "he
who has eyes to see, let him see. He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
BTW, this post is NOT defending
Democratic leadership. They are largely corrupt, weak, and incompetent. I'm
merely acknowledging that we've got bigger problems right now.
I support anyone who continues to
speak out. I just think, at this point, Trump is the best argument against
Trump, and people are seeing it.
Speaking of the film, I want to be
more like Father Jud. Not fighting those I disagree with but loving them.
So, I will attend every "No
Kings" protest I can. I will vote for political moderation. But this man
gets no more of my space.
There’s something almost absurd about
this moment.
Out of everything—everything—this is
what finally sparks outrage?
An image. A meme. A piece of
blasphemous, self-aggrandizing nonsense posted online.
And yes, it is offensive. It is
grotesque. It does reveal a level of ego and delusion that should concern
anyone paying attention.
But let’s be honest for a second.
If this is the moment that shocks you…
where have you been?
Where was this outrage when he said he
could “stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody” and not lose
support?
Where was it when the Access Hollywood
tape surfaced—when he bragged about grabbing women without their consent?
Where was it when he mocked a disabled
reporter on national television?
When he called immigrants “rapists”
and “criminals”?
When he told American congresswomen of
color to “go back” to where they came from?
When he separated families at the
border and children were put in cages?
When he downplayed a pandemic that
killed hundreds of thousands of Americans?
When he incited a mob that stormed the
Capitol?
When he has lied—repeatedly,
verifiably, relentlessly—about elections, opponents, allies, and reality
itself?
All of that was somehow explainable.
Defensible. “Taken out of context.” “That’s just how he talks.” “You have to
understand what he meant.”
But now—this—is too far?
That’s not discernment. That’s not
moral conviction.
That’s selective outrage. And pure
stupidity.
And it exposes something deeper and
far more troubling: for many, the issue has never been character. It’s never
been truth. It’s never been integrity.
It’s been loyalty.
As long as he served their interests,
advanced their agenda, or said the things they wanted said, the behavior didn’t
matter. The cruelty didn’t matter. The dishonesty didn’t matter.
They built an entire framework to
excuse it.
And now, suddenly, an image—an
image—is where the line gets drawn?
It would be laughable if it weren’t so
revealing.
Because what this really shows is how
shallow the foundation has been all along. When the truly consequential
things—the harm, the division, the degradation of public life—don’t move you,
but symbolism does, it says everything about what you value. Or don’t.
This isn’t about politics anymore.
It’s about discernment.
And a whole lot of people have shown
they never had it.

I’m not here to analyze whether or not
Donald Trump is medically fit to be president.
I’m not a doctor.
Additionally, I really don’t pay
attention to people who claim he’s suffering from some form of dementia.
The honest truth is that none of that
matters to me.
I don’t care what’s wrong with him —
it’s irrelevant.
The fact of the matter is that he’s
completely unfit to be president — period.
He does not have the dignity, the
emotional stability, or the mental competency to hold that office.
That’s not a medical diagnosis, that’s
just an observable fact.
He’s a disgusting, horrible, corrupt,
narcissistic human being and the exact type of person why our Founding Fathers
created three co-equal branches of government, a system of checks and balances
on a president’s power, and why they gave Congress the ability to remove
someone from that office.
There has never been a president more
unfit to have that title than Donald J. Trump.

Too on point not to share. An
Australian's reply to Trump's rant about 'NATO not being there for America':
"Mate. You run a country with
600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of
adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where
insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A
country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where
women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of
abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens
than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North
Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of
them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make
bail.
Your life expectancy is going
backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant
mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between
maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15
years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges
and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack
you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon,
adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist
running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you
very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly
run?
Greenland has universal healthcare.
Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes
bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because
their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed
them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked
Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens
of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia
wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without
telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling
other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned
aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your
f----- mouth."

While Donald Trump is in full
distraction mode, I want to remind him and the rest of MAGA that we will not
forget:
The economy is a mess and only getting
worse.
The Strait of Hormuz was open before
you started your war, so “opening it” isn’t any type of accomplishment — which
you haven’t done.
We’re still fully aware that you’re
trying to cover up the Epstein files to protect child predators — of which you
may very well be one.
You’ve still never released a health
care plan.
Inflation is higher than it’s been in
years and has never improved since you took office.
Oil and gas prices have skyrocketed,
and you’re the only one to blame.
Your approval rating sits at
historically low levels, with most of the country strongly opposing your
policies.
Your behavior has become so erratic
and unhinged that even far-right lunatics who spent 10+ years defending every
terrible thing you’ve done are walking away from you.
While our troops are at war, you’ve
spent nearly every weekend golfing and recently attended a UFC event on the day
the Iran negotiations to end the war broke down.
Your policies are adding trillions to
the national debt at a record pace.
You just fired your attorney general
for not protecting child predators well enough.
The war in Ukraine continues over a
year after you said you would end it “very easily.”
You skipped church on Easter to go
golfing — the same day you threatened mass genocide.
Even though you deleted the post, you
still posted an image depicting yourself as Jesus Christ.
Your wife just came out and said
Congress needs to move forward with going after any guilty parties in the
Epstein files — and while she declared her innocence, she didn’t mention you or
your innocence at all.
You recently said we don’t have money
to fund programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and others that tens of millions of
Americans rely on because we have to spend too much on wars and military
spending.
So as much as you try to gaslight the
American people and distract them with so much bullshit that it’s difficult to
keep up, I just want you — and your cult followers — to know: people like me
will not let the American public forget just how corrupt, incompetent, and
unfit you are to be president.

TRUMP CEMENTS HIMSELF AS THE
ANTI-CHRIST
Over the weekend Donald sent out this
nauseating depiction of himself as Jesus. And of course it calls to mind all
those many passages in the New Testament where Jesus exhorted us not to turn
the other cheek, but to wreak violence upon whomever we choose and to
"bomb the hell out of entire civilizations."
Like many other people, for years I
have been calling out Donald Trump as the Anti-Christ if there ever was one,
i.e. a con artist who would capture the worship of self proclaimed religious
people while personally and politically representing the exact opposite. Go
ahead MAGA, let's see what kind of mental contortions you can come up with to
excuse if not justify this kind of hideous blasphemy.

"Trump supporters say, 'We
suffered 8 years under Barack Obama.'
The day Obama took office, the Dow
closed at 7,949 points. Eight years later, the Dow had almost tripled.
General Motors and Chrysler were on
the brink of bankruptcy, with Ford not far behind, and their failure, along
with their supply chains, would have meant the loss of millions of jobs. Obama
pushed through a controversial, $80 billion bailout to save the car industry.
The U.S. car industry survived, started making money again, and the entire $80
billion was paid back, with interest.
While we remain vulnerable to
lone-wolf attacks, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully executed
a mass attack here since 9/11.
Obama ordered the raid that killed
Osama Bin Laden.
He drew down the number of troops from
180,000 in Iraq and Afghanistan to just 15,000, and increased funding for the
Department of Veterans Affairs.
He launched a program called Opening
Doors which, since 2010, has led to a 47 percent decline in the number of
homeless veterans.
He set a record 73 straight months of
private-sector job growth.
Due to Obama’s regulatory policies,
greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 12%, production of renewable energy more
than doubled, and our dependence on foreign oil was cut in half.
He signed The Lilly Ledbetter Act,
making it easier for women to sue employers for unequal pay.
His Omnibus Public Lands Management
Act designated more than 2 million acres as wilderness, creating thousands of
miles of trails and protecting over 1,000 miles of rivers.
He reduced the federal deficit from
9.8 percent of GDP in 2009 to 3.2 percent in 2016.
For all the inadequacies of the
Affordable Care Act, we seem to have forgotten that, before the ACA, you could
be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition and kids could not stay on
their parents’ policies up to age 26.
Obama approved a $14.5 billion system
to rebuild the levees in New Orleans.
All this, when Mitch McConnell
famously asserted that his singular mission would be to block anything
President Obama tried to do.
While Obama failed on his campaign
pledge to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, that prison’s population
decreased from 242 to around 50.
He expanded funding for embryonic stem
cell research, supporting ground breaking advancement in areas like spinal
injury treatment and cancer.
Credit card companies can no longer
charge hidden fees or raise interest rates without advance notice.
Most years, Obama threw a 4th of July
party for military families. He held babies, played games with children, and
served up barbecue.
Welfare spending went down: for every
100 poor families, just 24 receive cash assistance, compared with 64 in 1996.
Obama comforted families and
communities following more than a dozen mass shootings.
He was the first president since
Eisenhower to serve two terms without personal or political scandal.
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
President Obama was not perfect, as no
man and no president is, and you can certainly disagree with his political
ideologies. But to say the USA suffered?
If that’s the argument, if this is how
we suffered for 8 years under Barack Obama, I have one wish: may we be so
fortunate as to suffer 8 more."

“God Deserves All the Glory” — No, Mr.
Hegseth. He Does Not.
At a Pentagon press briefing yesterday
morning, Secretary Pete Hegseth declared a “decisive military victory” in Iran
and proclaimed, “Our troops, our American warriors, deserve the credit for this
day, but God deserves all the glory. Tens of thousands of sorties, refuelings,
and strikes carried out under the protection of divine providence — a massive
effort with miraculous protection.”
I am a Catholic priest. I have spent
nearly 52 years at the altar. And I am telling you plainly: what Mr. Hegseth
said yesterday morning is not faith. It is blasphemy dressed in the language of
devotion.
To say that God deserves the glory for
a bombing campaign that struck more than 13,000 targets in less than 40 days is
to conscript the Almighty into the service of the Pentagon’s press office. It
is to make God the chaplain of a war machine. It is precisely the kind of
theological arrogance that has soaked every unjust war in history with the
blood of the innocent — and the rhetoric of the righteous.
This is not new. This is not
surprising from a man who has publicly prayed for “overwhelming violence of
action against those who deserve no mercy” and for God to “break the teeth of
the ungodly.” A man with crusader tattoos and a theology of holy war is not a
man equipped to speak for the God revealed in the Sermon on the Mount.
God does not root for armies. God does
not award victory points to the nation with the most combat sorties. The God I
have spent my priesthood worshipping weeps over war — all war — because war is
not a triumph. War is the catastrophic, irrevocable failure of everything best
in the human person. Every ceasefire is not a victory. It is a confession of
how badly we have failed one another.
Archbishop Timothy Broglio said in a
Sunday interview that he did not agree with Hegseth’s efforts to paint the Iran
war as something Jesus would justify. The Archbishop is right. And his
restraint is more episcopal than I am capable of this morning.
Mr. Hegseth is an Evangelical shaped
by a theology of conquest that has no home in Catholic tradition, in just war
doctrine, or in any serious reading of the New Testament. But this is not a
sectarian complaint. This is a human one. When the machinery of war is wrapped
in the language of divine blessing, the people who question that war — its
proportionality, its civilian cost, its long-term consequences — are implicitly
cast as enemies of God. That silencing is precisely what religious war rhetoric
is designed to accomplish.
Do not let it work on you.
God is not an American. God was not
cheering in the situation room. And the glory — if there is any glory to be
claimed in a ceasefire struck after 13,000 targets and incalculable human
suffering — belongs to the diplomats, the peacemakers, and the negotiators. You
know, the ones Jesus called blessed.

I understand why a lot of people voted
for Donald Trump.
Many were fed up with elites talking
down to them. Fed up with chaos at the border. Fed up with inflation. Fed up
with feeling ignored by both parties.
I get that.
But let me ask the MAGA base an honest
question:
Is this really what you voted for?
Did you vote for a president who posts
profanity-laced threats on Easter?
Did you vote for more instability,
more rage, more reckless talk about bombing and war?
Did you vote for a man who seems to
wake up every day and pour gasoline on an already dangerous world?
Because this is not strength.
This is not leadership.
And this sure as hell is not peace
through strength.
You may have voted for tougher
borders, lower prices, less bureaucracy, and a president who would fight for
ordinary Americans.
Fair enough.
But THIS is something different.
This is disorder dressed up as
toughness.
This is impulsiveness sold as
patriotism.
This is ego masquerading as courage.
And at some point, decent
conservatives, independents, and MAGA voters have to ask themselves:
How much more will we excuse?
How much more chaos will we call
strategy?
How much more cruelty will we call
honesty?
How much more recklessness will we
call strength?
You do not have to become a Democrat
to say enough is enough.
You do not have to abandon your values
to admit this administration is betraying them.
You do not have to hate Trump to see
that he is leading this country somewhere dark and dangerous.
America needs leaders with character,
discipline, wisdom, and self-control.
Not constant outrage.
Not endless division.
Not this.
So to those who still support him, I’m
asking sincerely:
Is this really what you voted for?
Because if it isn’t, then now is the
time to say so.
Silence is complicity.
Character still matters.
And our country is worth more than
blind loyalty to one man.

The Department of War will go back to
being the Defense Department.
The Trump Kennedy Center will go back

Scientific agencies like NOAA, the
EPA, and the CDC will go back to publishing research without political
interference.
The U.S. will re-align with its allies

The unfinished East Wing (it won't be
finished by the end of Trump's term) will be rebuilt by the next president, and
it will not be a ballroom.
Federal agencies packed with
unqualified loyalists will fire those people and rehire the career experts
Trump fired.
The Department of Justice will go back
to enforcing the law instead of protecting the president.
The presidential pardon power will

Inspectors General will go back to
investigating corruption instead of getting fired for it.
The White House press room will go
