Thank you for the daily bulletins Ron, they are very helpful in getting a deeper dive into the craziness American politics today

Craziness is putting it mildly!!! As I scroll down I am more and more in disbelief how f’d this country is

Expand full comment

Yes thank you Ron. A highlight of my day to catch this. There’s so much to unpack in the chaos that he’s caused in such short amount of time. So much is used for distraction like in all of that you find he rescinded the Equal Opportunity Act! That’s a big one. He said those words as he got the bills to sign. “Oh this is a big one!” He wiped away so much with the stroke of his oversized sharpie, it was hard to keep track of it all. I’m going to need a list because if our media doesn’t call it out it will be hard to know all that’s going on. Again thank you Ron for letting know where we should be diving deeper to find more information

I appreciate the daily updates, too, but each one frightens me more than the one before, especially as the dangers posed by elon become more apparent. He must be stopped. . .but how?

Expand full comment

I may prove wrong, but they are both such egomanics that Trump isn't going to continue being OK with Musk trying to be President - that has already ruffled his feathers more than once. And the stoned one isn't going to be happy taking 2nd place ...

I am so sick of hearing about wanting Dr. Fauci prosecuted! That man was our only salvation during the beginning of COVID under Trump. What a horror show that was! And some of us lost family members, myself included. Leave that wonderful man alone and let him retire in peace! Thanks for your hard work, Ron. Uncovered was great too! 💙🔥💯❤️

Yes agree totally!! There were freezer trucks outside hospitals in nyc!! For gosh sakes!! And add the work Dr Faucci did for HIV?? Leave that man alone he needs some apolgies!!

Expand full comment

Exactly! And God forbid if we have another pandemic in the next 4 years under Trump, we will be screwed without Fauci. Who will we have to rely on, RFK?! God help us if he is confirmed. I would hope they would put a qualified doctor in place!

FOTUS literally just defunded the pandemic budget. Read that again. Defunded the pandemic budget. He's mad at Covid.

Expand full comment

Holy shit he defunded the pandemic budget? Why he just charmed Bill Gates whose life mission is Global Public Health, Bill Gates came away from his meeting with Trump and said he was optimistic about Trump. Now only what a week later Trump takes us out of WHO AND he eliminated the pandemic budget? Whadda say now Billy Boy? Trump got your million dollar donation, so that was money wasted.

Expand full comment

Sounds bad, but I'm hoping for another pandemic soon. MAGAs don't get it until it hits them in the face. And even then, sometimes they still don't.

Expand full comment

Or is it really his base who's mad at it? Because if you recall Trump got covid himself and it was said that he almost died from it, but he got the medication which I believe was Paxlovid and made a quick recovery. It's deplorable that he's taken away pandemic funds and taken us out of the WHO. Abuse of our tax money.

Great! As the Avian Flu Virus spreads, he cuts funding. Asshole.

Plus he just removed us from the World Health Organization! Someone needs to slap it into him that he WORKS FOR US!

Exactly!! I need to remind myself its not the Donald doing this! Its his advisors, Marr Logo members that are paying him to do it!!! Donald is a bought stupid wounded Narcist! He cannot handle any type of critics. He can't admit mistakes!! He's a thin skinned fascist. says Mark Milley! Elon giving the salute twice ? After just leaving that Germany rally??? We have two South Africans Elonia and Peter Theil where 10% ruled!!

Donalds bought just like JD.

Anyone else wonder why he stopped bleeding so fast after the top of his ear was winged? What happened to the trajectory mark on his right cheek? No ER report from the hospital?? I would not put past a wwe event after how he treats hole one in Jersey where his X is? Just sayin! Sick, sick money driven wounded Narcist! Someone taking a bullet to propel him to the whitehouse? so he can stay out of jail? Elon and zuck joined up soon after that wing ear shot!!

He is scum. Why look for reasons. The worst excuse for a human nevermind a Felon President

He's not human! You're right! No need to look any further we've witnessed his behaviors! Friends of ours are no longer with us due to how he handled things!! Donald sold us all out numerous times! He is right now!! Messing with not helping California is going to hurt us all! 70% of farm workers failed to show up to help us pick oranges! ICE was hiding in unmarked Suburbans! They should bombard them with rotten oranges.!!!

I am not generally a conspiracy type but some day the truth will out that the shooter kid was set up by the dark right.

Expand full comment

Don't you wonder what happened to the part of the video that showed Trump touching his ear and seeing blood on his finger(s), then again putting his finger to his ear and drawing them across his cheek leaving finger smears of blood? That was very plain and obvious in the first showing of the video as the secret service people where trying to get him under cover. I can't have been the only person who saw that!!

Expand full comment

I didn't see that, I did see what I thought was a bullet transitory mark on his right cheek! Then less then a minute no bleeding? Somehow information from the emergency room not available? Oh then Don Jr. Says he phoned his Dad asking him if it messed up his hair?? I think that call statement was a cover!! There is more to this!

Just like his X Ivanka former Olympic skier falling down a flight of stairs?? He put her in a not cared grave site hole one in Jersey?? Not because she was talking to the FBI? Jeff Epstein strangled with a wire with a guard outside his cell door?? Its nothing to do with 1 time charged felon tax evader Capone lover 34 time felon Donald?? Uh huh sure Donald keep talking fool you will expose yourself. He's a emotionally driven thin skinned buffoon! Prove me wrong??

We need to fire him immediately

I despise Trump, and all the idiots who voted for him. I loved the sermon from the Bishop. Trump and company all looked like deer caught in headlights. She was amazing and her every word was heartfelt and the truth..

But the man baby could not take the truth. Too bad a lightening bolt didn't come down from the ceiling and take him out. I am hoping for a third attempt, that will be successful. The entire world would cheer and be a far better place without his sorry ass. .that thing, called Trump has no redeeming qualities. He is a lousy businessman, bankrupted everyone of his companies. He commits adultery, he is a pathological Liar, a cheat, and a 10th rate schlock salesman, and a soulless creep. I take comfort from numerous psychics who

predict he will be gone in 6 months to 18 months. I hope they are correct.

We live near a hospital and remember seeing ambulances going into the hospital every.single.day. for months during the first year of the pandemic.

We won't forget that, or the relief when the vaccine became available.

You didn't cover it because you so extensively covered everything else, but medical professionals are reeling:

"Basically we have lost our access to WHO connections, the FDA, the CDC, the NIH." That's a Big Deal. And ordinary Americans might be interested if they care about their own health, because their MDs have been neutered and can no longer provide care.

It is shocking but also that the AMA never fought back against Trump or came out for Kamala. Trump is literally taking down our country..

Trump yanking us out of the WHO terrifies me, and his “blackout” of external communications by federal health agencies really makes me think that Trump has already received information or some kind of alert level indicator about a potential global health threat.

I doubt if the DEI ban is only for the government, I am sure they will enforce it on all government contractors and consultants to agencies like the FDA AND CDC also. Order them to cease and desist any DEI programs in their businesses also.

Expand full comment

Check this out. I looked up Zuch and found that he and his wife have an organization called Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. They say:

"There is much work ahead to strengthen our DEI strategy within CZI. This includes building a diverse workforce, creating a thriving organizational culture, driving effectiveness in our work, offering employee resource groups that build community among our staff, and fostering a safe and inclusive environment for personal and professional growth." https://chanzuckerberg.com/dei/workplace/

I'd like to see him confronted about this statement and his support of Trump's DEI ban.

Great point! Thanks for doing that research.

In Florida Desantis banned Dei from colleges and universities last year. Closed all the offices in them. project 2025 has been in affect since 2022 in some capacity in Florida. They have a utopia and it is religion telling the masses who they are and the masses following them. Life Church has popped up in huge new venues as big as auditoriums in Florida… we must vote every Republican out we can in 2026 and replace them with a democrat. Convince the regular republicans to help their country by starting all over and that the democrats will vote for normalcy !!!!

Where is this quote from?

Expand full comment

Dear Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde,

Thank you for using your prophetic voice to speak truth to power during Washington National Cathedral's Service of Prayer for the Nation on Tuesday, January 21st.

Your direct plea to Donald Trump calling for mercy for our LGBTQ, immigrant, and otherwise marginalized people in America speaks to the greatest commandment: to love our neighbors as ourselves. As Christians committed to walking the way of Christ, we stand with you in public support.

We urge you to continue speaking out against the injustice of Trump's executive orders, and we hope Christian leadership from every denomination will do the same.

Thank you, and may God bless you and keep you.

Trump complained and whined constantly about illegal immigrants living in the United States, being dangerous, etc. He signed legislation to deport them. Yet, he just blanket pardoned 1,500+ dangerous, angry, violent insurrectionists, terrorists, Nazi sympathizers, and traitors, from prison, to live back in the United States, and terrorize, threaten, and kill all over again....at Trump's bidding.

I wanna know WHO HE WILL BLAME when one of these j6 losers kills someone. These maggats In full control takes the blame game away. It all you now Donold. That's why the pardons bother him so much. Took away a year or two of deflection tactics, he can't use

We may never know if they kill someone because the media is being neutered.

If one of the J6 losers does something stupid. Terrorize, hurts, kills someone. Will the Trump DOJ refuse to investigate, indict him? That would be another form of get of jail. Will a red state do the same? If in a blue state, will they? If not one does then there is no rule of law.

The hypocrisy is beyond description! Think about those rallies, where he said all the criminals were pouring in from mental institutions and prisons.

Maine is a Democratic state. I don't understand how she keeps getting elected!

Expand full comment

Not really. They tend to be cantankerously independent. Sen. Angus King is an Independent. When the ever so confused and pondering Sen Collins ran last time, we. New England Dems, thought we finally had her. Problem: Mainers don't like outsiders telling them what to do. Yes, we had her - no, you don't mess with Maine politics. They may dislike her - but she's theirs and no one, but no one from outside Maine is going to tell them how to vote. So we have the ever so confused and professionally naive Senator to deal with and if she helps bring down the government, well at least the Mainers can feel assured they got to reelect her of their own free will.

Maybe they're too nice there. Don't want to offend. Who knows

Expand full comment

Susan Collins is, to every Dem Mainer's everlasting embarrassment, a real pill. She pretends to be a "moderate" Republican but she is a doormat; a spineless follower of the prevailing winds. Her "concern" and "troubled" stances are pure bullshit. She will do what ever Trump and the Senate Majority Leader tell her to do.

Collins' ditherings, designated by Mr. Filipkowski as 'Collinsing' is a perfect and devastatingly accurate description of her signature tentative, wishy-washy style.

How I wish we had her former colleague back, Olympia Snowe, who was a true moderate and her own woman. Unlike Susie.

I have used it VERY rarely, I'm 84 now & the last time I went 'home' to UK to visit was 4 years ago & when asked about trump, that word was rather obvious in my reply - my family were stunned but then burst out laughing - they had never heard me use "such language" before - tells you what is happening to all of us ! Now we do not have any words left to use when even more disgusted - that was THE word we all kept for such occasions !

Same here! My parents were Republicans, the old fashioned ones who believed in protecting the environment and not butting into the health decisions of others.

So, I assume the Equal Employment Opportunity Act is a law (the word Act implies that), meaning Trump can't revoke it with a stroke of his sharpie.

I just knew those immigrant raids were going to be targeting via racial profiling. Cruelty is the point.

"Trump made two separate posts on Truth Social last night while in the White House, urging people to buy his crypo scam tokens that his is making billions from." This should enrage every American. I hope the Democrats are keeping track of all this.

Pretty sure no president has the authority to overturn a law passed by congress by simply issuing an executive order. Those orders apply only to the executive branch.

Expand full comment

You're correct. EO's are proclamations. He can't overturn laws enacted by Congress. His disdain for prescription drugs having a cap for those on Medicare are a bee in his bonnet. He signed an EO rescinding that cap. But it was signed in law with the Inflation Reduction Act. He is the most ignorant buffoon to ever disgrace the office of president.

It was really capitulating to his billionaire friends in the pharmaceutical industry because they’re pouting about us having to pay less for their criminally overpriced meds. He doesn’t really care if we can afford our meds or not.
