2026

 

In July of this year, on the 4th, The American Experiment will be 250 years old, and in its greatest peril in the past 165 years. One can only Hope, (and Pray), that Donald J. Trump will have somehow been somewhat restrained by then.

At no time since the Confederacy seceded from the Union, has the U.S. Democratic Republic been in such grave danger of devolving into some sort of fascist anarchy. Mainly, the chief perpetrator of this is in fact Trump, but let us not dismiss the %35 of American MAGA Voters who propelled him to leadership and tyranny, nor his fascist co-conspirators presently serving Trump’s Administration in what’s left of the White House.

 

January 6th – ‘Fight like Hell…’

On January 6th, 2021 https://www.britannica.com/event/January-6-U-S-Capitol-attack Thousands of Trump supporters attack the U.S. Capitol 

After Trump tells them at a Maga Rally -  

‘Trump addressed a rally in the Ellipse in the National Mall just south of the White House in which he urged his followers “to fight like hell,” and warned that “if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.” https://firstamendment.mtsu.edu/article/capitol-riot-of-jan-6-2021/

Police Officers were Killed and Wounded

Brave, Dedicated Officers fought with Trump Attackers at the Capitol January 6th. They responded to the Emergency, and performed their Duty Honorably, and with Great Professionalism, and 4 of them died as a result of the Battle.

Scores more were injured and suffered PTSD Symptoms. 1 Officer committed Suicide. Several of them were disabled to the point that they could not return to work. Trump then Pardoned nearly All of the Attackers.

SCOTUS Rules Trump cannot be held Criminally Liable

The Supreme Court issued a Divided Ruling granting Pres. Trump broad immunity from Criminal Prosecution.

Many Americans, such as I, looked to the Supreme Court to serve as a safeguard against abuse of Presidential Power. But This Supreme Court, stocked with Trump/MAGA adherents, did the precise opposite and granted him significant immunity from Prosecution for much of his Illegal Activity.

 

Trump’s DoJ:

Emil Bove, the Department of Justice’s principal associate deputy attorney general, who Donald Trump nominated for the US court of appeals told his associates at DoJ -

‘We’ll tell the Court Fuck You’

Also, Venezuelan Boats Illegally Attacked  

‘The legality of the strikes also is unclear. After the first attack, some legal experts told PolitiFact that the military action was illegal under maritime law or human rights conventions and the attack contradicted longstanding U.S. military practices.’ PBS 10/19/25

 And, to further aggravate that Nasty Situation:

 Venezuelan Boat Attack Survivors Killed –

“Obviously, we don’t know what they were saying or thinking,” one of the sources said, “but any reasonable person would assume that they saw the aircraft and were signaling either: don’t shoot or help us.” https://theintercept.com/2025/12/23/boat-strikes-venezuela-hegseth-bradley-legal/

 The Pentagon’s Law of War Manual is explicit in this regard. “Persons who have been incapacitated by wounds, sickness, or shipwreck are in a helpless state, and it would be dishonorable and inhumane to make them the object of attack,” reads the guide.

‘Some 45 minutes after the men had been plunged into the water, a second missile screamed down from the sky on Bradley’s order. Two more missiles followed in rapid succession, sinking the remnants of the boat’.

During a recent briefing, ‘Bradley explained that the JSOC staff judge advocate specifically said that the second strike on September 2 was lawful 

The Intercept 12/25

 

Meanwhile, at the Pentagon:

Hegseth and Trump besides wanting to rename the Defense Dept. The Department of War, (let us please not forget the ‘Gulf of America’ and the Kennedy Center), fired dozens of Generals, Admirals and other Top Military Commanders, including JAG Officers responsible for oversight of Military Justice.

He then replaced them with his Hand-picked ‘More Loyal’ Officers. (More Loyal to him and Trump, not the U.S. Constitution and the U.S. Code of Military Conduct.)

Also, It is well known by now that DOGE, under Elon Musk cut Thousands of Jobs and Millions of Dollars in U.S. Aid to Foreign Countries.

https://rooseveltinstitute.org/blog/what-musks-doge-really-cut-trust-safety-and-democracy/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid

‘Musk leaves behind no durable reform, only institutions hollowed out, public trust frayed, and a template for how easily government can be turned against the very people it exists to serve’.

‘Just hours before Musk announced his departure, a lawsuit against him and DOGE was cleared to proceed, accusing him of wielding unlawful power over federal agencies, contracts, and data without democratic oversight’

On the late Jeffery Epstein front we have this news-

Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to and provided extras at a Minimum-Security Prison Camp in Texas.

 After an interview with Todd Blanche, convicted Felon Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to, and provided extras at a Minimum-Security Prison Camp in Texas. Normally, a Felon Convicted for Sex-Trafficking of Minors and sentenced to 20 Years Incarceration is Not Eligible for Minimum Security Incarceration by U.S. Bureau of Prisons Policy.

“is highly unusual, if not unprecedented” for the second highest-ranking official at the Justice Department to conduct such an interview instead of a line prosecutor familiar with the case.” Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse D-Rhode Island

‘The meeting was doubly unusual because of Mr. Blanche’s former role as President Trump’s personal criminal attorney

We know by now of course that this is just scratching the surface of how Trump and those around him really Hate America. I could go on for Hours with all the injustice the Trump White House, (what’s left of it after Trump’s Renovations), has inflicted upon us. But; I shan’t. It’s All too much.

What I want to say is the only thing that can change Trump and his bunch of Reckless Thugs is a Democratic Congress. Now more than ever, Dear God, we American Patriots, need Congressional Oversight and restraint of this Felonious Thug, and we’ll only truly get that with a Democratic Majority Congress in the November 2026 Elections.

If God forbid, we get a Majority in the House of Representatives, but not the Senate, Change will grind more slowly and take continuous repeated Action to force the Senate’s hand.

We can be hopeful though, that even if Democrats fail to gain a Senate Majority, the margin will be slim. That too, can work to force a reluctant Senate’s hand.

So, there we have it… these are my personal wishes for a Safe and Happy New Year: a Democratic Congress.

Organize, Advocate, Oppose.
