Week 3

Where to start with what has been a disasterous 3rd week of a President Trump?

Let's looks at some of the pardened J6ers.
Andrew Taake punched officers on Jan. 6th and should have served a 6 year sentence. But he got a parden. He was arrested for outstanding child sex crime charges.
hmmm

Emily Hernandez went to trial for drunk driving and getting into a car wreck. A woman in the other car died, and her husband was injured. It was their 15th anniversary. Hernandez got 10 years for DWI and a separate charge for driving while intoxicated that led to a person's death.

Matthew Huttle was pulled over by the police, allegedly resisted and was shot by the officer.

Then we need to look at what Musk and his team a recently graduated high schools students and college grads are doing. They got into the Treasury Dept and started accessing data, including the payment system. This data and payment system handles payments for Social Security, Veteran's benfits and tax funds and more. They were accessing personal information on Americans, including their social security numbers. U.S. District Court judge Engelmayer blocked Musk on Friday from accessing more, citing the risk of irreparable harm.

And let's look at some of Musk' team. Marko Elez resigned after racist posts found on his now deleted social media posts. "Normalize Indian hate." - wow, that is just who we want handling sensitive data -NOT! There is this 19 year old fellow:

Yes, this is just the type of person we need to have access to people's tax returns and SS numbers and more.
Apparently Trump is ignoring the need to have security clearances after vetting. It is irresponsible and dangerous.

Now Musk is saying that the Department of Education does not exist. That department is what backs much of the Special Ed programs in the US. The red states are pretty dependent on it. That department was created by Congress in 1979 to ensure all students have the opportunity to access to high quality educations. The Department of Education Organization Act was signed into law in October of 1979. EVEN PRESIDENTS HAVE TO FOLLOW THE LAW. But Trump is activing like a king.



Credit The Status Kuo for image.
He believes his EOs overthrow laws of the land passed by Congress and signed by previous Presidents. Nope. The lawsuits are piling up.

Trump was going to leave US citizens employed under USAID in various countries in the world, leaving them at risk. A judge has stepped in:

A judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump from placing 2,200 workers at the US Agency for International Development (USAID) on paid leave, hours before it was due to happen.
Judge Carl Nichols issued a "limited" temporary restraining order, in response to a last-minute lawsuit filed by two unions trying to save the agency.
The order will remain in place for a week, until 14 February at midnight.
Trump has argued that USAID, the overseas aid agency, is not a valuable use of taxpayer money and wants to dismantle it - with plans to put nearly all of the agency's 10,000 employees on leave, except 611 workers.
Some 500 staff had already been put on administrative leave and another 2,200 were due to join them from midnight on Friday (05:00 GMT).
But the last-minute lawsuit on Friday argued the government was violating the US Constitution, and also that the workers were suffering harm.
Judge Nichols sided with the unions, saying they would suffer "irreparable harm" if the court did not intervene, while there would be "zero harm to the government".

Ivanka Trump once championed USAID. Ending it will hurt farmers.


Something else to hurt farmers.....

When J.C. Penney was running the company, he would take prospective managers for his stores to dinner. He watched if they seasoned the food immediately, or tried it first. If they put salt and pepper on before tasting it, they were likely not getting hired. His reasoning was that one should see what is set up and why before making changes.

Musk and his little team and Trump are seasoning the food first, so to speak. They are not doing the due diligence to know how making changes will affect the economy and American workers like farmers. Ending USAID will also open the door to China to be the one who steps in. They are all over Africa and Central and South America.

I left out a big story in that T[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] said this about Gaza:


The other Middle East countries are not supportive of this. It would start a war imho. ......but he is suppose to be a president of peace.
