The News in 6: What Trump/Elon Did This Week

All the armies of Europe and Asia… could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men, we will live forever or die by suicide. ~Abraham Lincoln

6 Ways Trump and Elon Undermined America This Week

Trump/Elon didn’t completely destroy America this week. But they certainly tried. Here’s my pick for the top six ways in which they attacked our country’s safety, morality, economy and health.

1. Fire The Joint Chiefs.

What head of state is stupid enough to decapitate their own military? Hitler didn’t. The Roman Caesars didn’t. Henry VIII didn’t. I can only think of one head of state who did. Joseph Stalin. While Hitler was building his military and invading Europe, Stalin was shooting and imprisoning his generals. Then, when Hitler invaded Russia, Stalin hid under his bed. It was Hitler’s own brutality, which pushed the Russian people to fight, alongside Hitler’s interference with his generals orders in the field, America’s industrial might which Roosevelt poured into Russia with the Lend-Lease program that gave them something to fight with, and, ultimately General Russian Winter that saved Stalin’s bacon. But there isn’t another America to save us. And we don’t have a General Russian Winter. All the guns and tanks and planes in the world won’t save you if you don’t have generals to command effectively.  I believe that Trump is decapitating our military to get rid of the people with integrity and loyalty to our democracy. I think he wants “generals” who will order the troops to fire on American citizens.  Trump administration fires top US general and Navy chief in unprecedented purge of military leadership,  President Trump fires 6 top-level military officers.

2. Fire The Judge Advocate General

Pete Hegseth, the alcoholic/sexual predator/failed businessman/talk show host that Trump appointed as the Secretary of Defense of the United States of America and that the Republicans in the Senate slavishly confirmed, didn’t mince words. He said straight out that the reason he fired the entire military counsel of the United States’ military was so that he could put people in these positions who would do whatever Trump wants, no matter what the law says or the Constitution requires. This certainly sounds like another step in taking over the military to use it against the American people. Hegseth: Trump will Install New Military Attorneys Who Won’t be Roadblocks to Anything. 

3. FDA Cancels The FLU Shots Meeting.

This one may not sound like much. But just wait a few months. RFK Jr canceled the FDA’s meeting to start the process of developing next year’s flu shots. Put that together with Trump withdrawing the USA from the World Health Organization, which is where we get the information about what virus is cooking up so we can develop the vaccine, and we’re looking at going into next year’s flu season with no effective flu shots. I could give you statistics as to how many people this might kill, but it’s pointless because Trump/Musk/Junior are also firing the people who keep the statistics and the scientists who do things like develop flu shots, as well as erasing, re-writing (lying) and hiding the statistics themselves. The bottom line is a lot of people are going to get very sick and a lot of people are going to die. One of them might be you or someone you love. FDA cancels advisory committee meeting on flu vaccine strain selection, Vaccine meeting to prepare for coming winter’s flu season canceled, U.S. withdrawal from WHO could bring tragedy at home and abroad, 

4. Elon Takes $2 Billion FAA Contract For Himself

The FAA had a contract in place with Verizon. Verizon was already working to fulfill the contract. Then, this week Elon swooped in and, using the tyrannical “persuasion” power that he has simply taken on himself with Trump’s blessing, he is forcing the FAA to cancel the $2 billion contract with Verizon and award it to Elon’s own Starlink, instead. Not only is this classic corruption, it disregards the safety of air travelers. If you’re wondering why Elon isn’t worried about the falling sales of Tesla, this is it. He doesn’t need sales of his products. He’s raiding the United States treasury. It’s not about saving waste. It’s about stripping this country bare and putting our money in the pockets of the chosen billionaires. SpaceX’s Starlink lines up to swoop Verizon’s $2.4bn FAA contract, Elon Musk says he’s sending Starlink tech to FAA while saying, without evidence, that air safety is ‘at risk’, Elon Musk Seeks to Have His Company Take Over Verizon’s $2.4 Billion FAA Contract

5. USA Votes With Russia AND North Korea At United Nations.

In major speeches, statements and the betrayal of Ukraine, the Trump administration has aggressively re-aligned America with Russia against all of the Western democracies. I won’t belabor this. Just think about it. Trump has put America on the side of tyrants and dictators against democracy. Consider also that Trump is destroying America’s military effectiveness by firing our commanders. Who benefits from the destruction of our military besides Trump who wants to use the military to control American citizens? Putin benefits. This week, Trump made it official when the United States of America voted with Russia, North Korea and Belarus against the rest of the world on a resolution condemning Russia for the Ukraine War. US sides with Russia in UN resolutions on Ukraine, US joins Russia, North Korea and Belarus to vote against UN resolution on Ukraine war, 

6. Trump Forces Romania To Free Sex Trafficker/Rapist Andrew Tate And Brings Him To The United States. 

Andrew Tate is an “influencer” and big Trump supporter who is evidently wildly popular with many of the men who support Donald Trump. He is charged with sex trafficking and rape in Romania. I watched one of Tate’s broadcasts to get an understanding of what the President of the United States supports. I can’t link to it. I might do it if I could,  even though it espouses extreme hatred of and violence against women,  MAGA “christians” know what Trump is and they support him anyway. They don’t mind this stuff. Here’s an excerpt of who Tate is and what he says.  “I guarantee I will change the way you look at sex forever. You’re gonna be f—-g crying. You’re gonna cry b——h. I’m just gonna start beating the s—t out of you. When a girl comes at you “You cheated, you cheated” you just Boom! in the face and grab her by the neck. When I grab her by the neck and then I bam! Bam! Bam! Right in the face. Then what are you gonna do with your face all smashed in and your jaw broke?” This is the man Trump used his power as president to free and bring to the United States. The story is, Tate is a guest at Mar a Lago this weekend, with Trump in residence. Needless to say, Elon reinstated Tate on X when he took over. Now Trump has helped him avoid justice and brought him to the United States.
