Americans did not receive supposed $2,000 tariff dividend checks nor checks resulting from Department of Government Efficiency savings. The DOGE savings checks were estimated to be as high as $5,000. And now $90.00 for Medicare recipients. Trump never delivers on his bribes. What is our vote worth?

Vice President JD Vance thinks that Americans are too worried about the “little things” ahead of midterms—like gas prices, debt, Immigration and Customs Enforcement killings, and war. Well those may be little things to Vance, but add them all together and they become big things.

Trump continues to claim non citizens are voting in American elections. Investigations revealed 0.00009% of 174 million registered voters in the U.S. were non citizen voters. State investigations have shown: that instances of non-citizen registration and voting are exceedingly rare.

Hackers broke into the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC). That’s one of the main record-keeping systems for the military. And Hegseth wants to protect our voting systems from foreign hackers. What could go wrong?

“We have people running for office in the Republican Party that can’t even tell the truth, and today’s farce, today’s gaslighting, mendacity, perfidy, lies, mistruths cannot obscure what the mountain of evidence and Americans saw with their own eyes,” said Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J.”

We may all want to read “The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity” by Carlo Cipolla. Reading may help us restore some critical thinking skills.

“Within a democratic system, elections are an instrument to ensure the steady maintenance of stupid people. This is because politicians have to appeal to the stupid in order to maintain power, ensuring that stupid politicians will always make up a fraction of government officials.” Carlo Cipolla

“What we would do in the next two years is exactly what we have been doing already, and that has been putting the conditions in place for a strong America again.” Speaker Johnson on what Republicans would do if holding House majority. Seems logical.

Smith stood by his decision to charge Trump in two felony indictments during his years out of office, focused on mishandling of classified documents and the second on his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. “I would do so regardless of whether the president was a Republican or a Democrat.”

There could be an unseen advantage here. With Hegseth providing election security, it could be difficult for Trump to claim to midterms were rigged or fraudulent.

Hegseth says national security, military cyber forces will guard US election systems during midterms. Given his record, we may be vulnerable. Or maybe we will have to complete ten pushups or pull-ups to vote.

The last five recessions, and seven of the last eight, have happened under Republican presidents. Look ’em up: December 1969, November 1973, January 1980, July 1981, July 1990, March 2001, December 2007, February 2020. Only the 1980 one happened under a Democrat (Jimmy Carter).

Just be mindful that we have seen six Republican presidents, going back to Gerald Ford and counting Trump twice, have overseen economic calamities. Only Ronald Reagan did not. We may want to stop voting against our economic interests.

Words are very powerful, and the past 45 presidents of this country, have not used such vile language. Is that how teachers, corporate leaders, nurses, doctor, dentist speak in their work environment? It’s not OK. It’s a decline in respect and honor, period. We must not normalize Trump’s behavior.

One of our closest allies now believes that it can’t rely on the United States under President Donald Trump’s leadership. Our allies are not the only folks who believe they cannot rely on the United States under Trump’s leadership. Many Americans believe this to be true. We will find out in Nov.

The ad Trump is running is no public service announcement. So we should not be paying for it. But it does remind us of Trump’s incompetence and corruption for the upcoming election. As Vance says. We might give them another chance to destroy our nation and world. Or not.

Just be mindful that the Republicans who are trying to distance themselves from Trump are the same Republicans who have been doing his bidding for years. If they are re-elected they will continue to do Trump’s bidding. Do not be fooled by these crocodile tears.

When Joe Biden left at the start of 2025, diesel cost an average $3.63 per gallon. Just this month, that price blew past an average of $5.85 to a record high of more than $6.50. Trump says that is a small price to pay for his war with Iran.

“We have more people eating beef than ever before, but if it is too expensive … you can eat chicken, pork, salmon, eggs,” Rollins said. So the Ag. Sec. says if beef is too expensive for us, eat eggs. Chicken, pork, and salmon are up too. Republicans just do not care. November is up to us.

If possible do not wait to vote by mail. Find out when the opportunity to vote early in your state and go vote. Encourage all to vote early. Voting numbers early will overcome Trump attempts to disrupt the election.

Trump’s most consequential foreign policy actions have destroyed our allies trust in American reliability. Canada, NATO, and Asian allies no longer trust American leadership. It will be challenging to restore that relationship.

In response to the networks' decision, a White House official said the media has no place "demanding a spot in the President’s Oval Office," adding that journalists are capable of reporting from directly outside the White House. Here is the key. It is not Trump’s s Oval Office. It belongs to us.

Trump says his planned arch would become a ‘military complex’ able to host drones and snipers. I am sure Trump will explain why we need a militarized arch in Washington. Maybe it is due to his growng paranoia. This borders on the insane. Press should boycott Trump. Give us all a break.

Do not allow Republicans candidates to “distance” themselves from Trump. They were with Trump for the last five year. And they will return to him if re-elected. Do not fall for that false flag. We cannot afford to give Republicans a second chance this election cycle.

PolitiFact checked Trump's full promise list. 20% fulfilled. He promised to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours. Still going. He promised no Medicaid cuts. Then he cut Medicaid. Nearly five million people have lost coverage. He promised cheaper gas. Lower grocery prices. Costs under control.

Trump’s proposed “Triumphal Arch” in Washington, D.C., will harm historical sites, but claims it must be built anyway. So destruction of the White House, Kennedy Center, Reflecting Pool, NATO, relations with Canada and our closest allies. Give GOP another chance to destroy America?

Trump told a North Carolina audience that if Republican Senate nominee Michael Whatley doesn’t win in November, he would withhold FEMA funds. And if his name does not go on Kennedy Center, no funds. This is the real Trump. Cruel and corrupt. And Congressional Republicans back him.

usct70.bsky.social @usct70.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
Trump says no money for Kennedy Center unless his name goes on it. We need to realize that Trump will apply this standard to all funding for America unless his name is included. Just remember that when we vote in November.

Republican Congressman Says Ground Beef Is ‘Less Than $2 A Pound.’ It’s Actually Almost $7 A Pound. Despite what Rep. Tom Emmer had to say, it's been roughly 23 years since ground beef prices were below $2 per pound. Maybe he is buying Trump’s mystery meat.

So Don Jr’s wedding was financed by a secret benefactor: Umar Kremlev, a Russian oligarch close to President Vladimir Putin. Kremlev paid to rent out one of the private islands, where a reception was held and where guests slept. He also covered the fireworks show. Trump owes this Russian.

Trump rejects calls to rein in A.I., saying a smart president is all that’s needed. We better elect a smart president the next time we get a chance. For the next couple of years it does not appear that America will be served by a smart president.

With the midterms around the corner, the affordability crisis could have major consequences for Republicans at the ballot box. Gas prices are surging and inflation is rising, but Trump says the economy is "the greatest" America has ever seen. And he is correct. The economy is best for the oligarchs.
