Come on people now.

Earth is what we all have in common.

Yet here we are, Putin, Netanyahu, and Trump trying to slice it up as if it were cake, salivating over the potential of real estate and resources. Oh, include Elonia Muskrat, the tech bros, and the oil-igarchs in on the carving of those commodities. Collectively, they have no respect for the planet–and a complete disregard for the people!

Russia, Israel, and now the United States are the bullies of the world. They see people as assets to be exploited in the labor market or liabilities to be eliminated by denying them food, shelter, and access to healthcare.

The Earth will keep spinning until one of these madmen blows it off its axis. Until then, our only hope is solidarity. We must come together, smile at each other, and try to love one another. Right now!

We are the change we seek in the world and the answer to each other’s prayers. Every religion and philosophy has its own version of The Golden Rule: treat others as you’d like to be treated. Think how much better the world would be. We have more in common than not.

How do we start? How do we begin to overcome the darkness that Trump, the dictators, and oligarchs have unleashed? Come on people now. SMILE.

Smile at your brother, your mother, your neighbors, your co-workers with Strength, Mercy, Integrity, Love, and Empathy. It begins with a SMILE.

Come on now. Listen to the Youngbloods, and let’s get together.

Loquaciously,

Donald Trump is Putin’s Bitch!

Donald Trump has declared himself king. He’ll deny it if asked directly–he knows his answer should be “of course not, America has no king,” but his words say otherwise, and behind the scenes, Republicans are scrambling to change the Constitution so he CAN remain in office. He’s pushing Trump “merch” at the White House gift shop: Trump 2028 hats, shirts, mugs, coins…you name it, the fleecing of the sheep continues. Does that sound like someone who intends to leave?

He’s also been accused of being a dictator. With one breath he denies it, the next, he’s gaslighting us, telling us Americans WANT a dictator. And some of his followers do want Trump to stay in power until he dies. King or dictator? They don’t care; they’ve surrendered their autonomy and sworn their allegience to Daddy Trump.

BUT THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS DO NOT! Hence, the “No Kings” protest on June 14, 2025 and the upcoming October 18, 2025 date.

NO KINGS protest in Iowa!

The news media isn’t showing the full scope, but MILLIONS marched across the United States in June. I anticipate MORE in October due to Trump stepping up authoritarian rhetoric and actions!

We are in precarious times!

On August 18, 2025, according to a C-SPAN headline, “Trump Quips About Canceling 2028 Elections If U.S. Is At War.”

Trump has just recently come to understand that–IF WE ARE AT WAR, HE CAN SUSPEND THE NEXT ELECTION. Please understand: TRUMP WANTS A WAR. He just changed the name of the Department of Defense to the DEPARTMENT OF WAR!! Don’t pretend he’s not serious. He is. And soon we won’t even be able to protest because First Amendment rights are under assault! Don’t think so? Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel would like a word.

And yes having a word and an opinion contrary to Trump’s is becoming grounds for prosecution. Thinned-skin wanna-be king Trump says so.

We must not capitulate. We must stand up to tyranny. We must defend our Constitution and Democracy. Don’t let this fool scare you into silence! Speak up, stand up, show up. For your friends, family, neighbors, and community.

Tell Trump: AMERICA HAS NO KING! And Justice is coming.

Tell Trump and Putin NO!

Trump IS Putin. Putin IS Trump. And Elon? He’s the ketamine-challenged billionaire-baby who bought himself a nation.

Trump has made the United States the bully of the world. And the only way to deal with a bully is to apply opposing EQUAL force. If we are to stay with the current world order (where NATO stands), Putin must be stopped and forced to leave Ukraine.

The alternative is a new world order where Russia, China, Israel, the Saudis and North Korea—with the help of the United States–dominate. The atrocities these countries subject their people to are horrendous. There are no individual rights: black and brown people–anyone who is not white–suffer, women suffer, the poor suffer (sorry, your whiteness won’t save you here). A reality where LGBTQ people are heckled and scorned, where everyone is required to believe whatever religious bull-crap the supreme leader spews: he is “the chosen one.”*

*Author’s note: Ridiculous. Just nonsense. He’s delusional, playing a character on a tv show. We’re being told the sheeple love it, but not so much. Trump voters are feeling the sting already.

Come on, think! Why is Trump aligning us with Russia and all the authoritarians?

Trump’s God is POWER. MONEY + CONTROL = POWER. Those driving forces are driving Trump, and Putin, and Elon, and Bibi, and his lover Kim jong un…

WE must tell Trump, Putin, Musk et al. NO.

NO, he cannot give Ukraine to Russia and divvy up their resources.

NO, he cannot buy Greenland. IT’S NOT FOR SALE.

NO, he cannot take the Panama Canal! ffs!

NO, he cannot join Netanyahu in destroying and then re-colonizing Gaza.

NO, he cannot bully Canada—our closest trading partner, ally–friends up north!–into becoming a state.

Who will stop this madman?

Europe is stepping up. They know Ukraine is essential to a free world. And the American people must also step up! NO, Trump does not have a mandate and he DOES NOT SPEAK FOR THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS!

It’s going to take all of us who still believe in Democracy and individual freedoms to take action: call our congressmen and women, boycott big-money corporations, challenge the “news” sources, continue to speak up—and march in the streets!

Stay informed, people. Find ways to resist. Join the marches and protests. Refuse to look away. Fight for your rights, our rights. Fight for America. Fight for the people of the world! Fight for the planet.

Tell Trump NO.

Hell NO.

F NO.

Not on my watch.
