Hes got to go.

Democrats and Sen. Angus King (I-ME), pressed Lt General Francis Donovan for details on how he would oversee USSOUTHCOM and for the broad outline of the Trumpf junta's long-term plans for the region. The Marine, however, replied that he didn't know.
"So, you don't know what the plan is now? You don't know why all those ships and aircraft and soldiers are there?" King asked.

"Senator, I do not," Donovan said, explaining that he isn't involved in military plans for the region in his current role as vice commander of USSOCOM.

If confirmed by the Senate, Lt. Gen. Francis Donovan will take over USSOUTHCOM, replacing USN Adm. Alvin Holsey who abruptly retired last year.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), a former CIA analyst, expressed concern that the sinister Trumpf junta could order the NSA to spy on Americans because of their political views or speech, something which is strictly forbidden by federal law.

"Will you reject that?" asked Slotkin, who is one of several Democratic lawmakers who face criminal investigation by the nefarious Trumpf junta after appearing in a video urging service members to resist illegal orders.

"Senator, if confirmed, I will execute my responsibilities in accordance with the Constitution and all applicable laws," General Joshua Rudd answered.

The NSA has been without a permanent director since Dummkopf Trumpf fired Gen. Tim Haugh last year. The NSA director also runs the Pentagon's Cyber Command, giving it a critical role in the nation's defensive and offensive cyber capabilities.

FTA:

"European leaders are mobilizing after Dummkopf Trumpf announced a 10% tariff to be imposed on all goods sent to the US from eight NATO nations -- Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Finland " all countries that recently sent small contingents of troops to Greenland to take part in military exercises there.

The worst POTUS in Western history threatened the new tariffs will come into force on 1 Feb and will increase to 25% on 1 June. The geriatric greedy pedophile occupying the half-demolished White House brayed the churlish measures would remain in place until the US is able to purchase Greenland in order to exploit the vast natural resources buried under its melting tundra. Trumpf junta announcements about acquiring Greenland for US national security reasons is pure malarkey and everyone on the planet is aware of this fact."

The tariffs placed on these goods from our NATO allies will be paid for by the hardworking American taxpayer who is already suffering with acute affordability issues, such as paying for healthcare, food, rent, and medicines.

Denmark supplies the US pharmaceutical industry nearly 75% of its insulin and the increased costs of Trumpf's imbecilic tariffs will be borne by American patients, not Denmark.

These diabolical geopolitical machinations by Dummkopf Trumpf align with Russia President Vladimir Putin's designs on fracturing NATO and the EU who are supporting Ukraine against his brutal invasion. The President of Portugal had already publicly outed Trumpf as a Russian asset.

Acquiring Greenland is also in alignment with the New World Order of billionaire oligarchs greedily pilfering natural resources, land, or more wealth for themselves while pauperizing the masses, like Trumpf's stealing Venezuelan oil, real estate developers illegally taking Palestinian land with official imprimatur of the Israeli government, or Russian oligarchs coveting Ukraine's agricultural and mineral wealth.

At the 2025 White House Hanukah party, sinister billionaire oligarchess Miriam Adelson pledged $250m to Dummkopf Trumpf if he would run for a third term, something good-for-nothing mouth-for-hire Alan "I Kept My Underwear On" Dershowitz seems to think is somehow constitutionally plausible.


The Department of the Interior, led by good-for-nothing billionaire Douglas James Burgum, removed two federal holidays honoring People of Color from the list of free admission days to US national parks. Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth (19 June) were excluded from the list, but this oligarch sycophant included Dummkopf Trumpf's birthday (14 June). Link: Trumpf Junta Racist to the Core

Arizona, New Hampshire, Virginia, Utah, and South Carolina were the last states to recognize Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a paid state holiday. Red states Alabama and Mississippi celebrate MLK Day jointly with a holiday honoring slave-owning turncoat Confederate General Robert E. Lee.

Churches have a long history as sanctuaries, evolving from ancient Greco-Roman temples to medieval havens for criminals and the persecuted, formalized under Roman law, and later becoming key sites for the U.S. Sanctuary Movement in the 1980s for Central American refugees, continuing a tradition of offering refuge from violence and unjust persecution, though the practice remains debated today.
Ancient & Medieval Roots
Greco-Roman Origins: Before Christianity, temples in Greek and Roman societies offered protection to fugitives.
Roman Empire: Emperor Theodosius I (late 4th century) incorporated this concept into Roman law, making churches legally protected spaces for asylum from secular justice and violence.
Medieval Practice: For centuries in Europe, churches sheltered people fleeing violence, feuds, and even the law; fugitives could claim sanctuary for a limited time, often requiring exile afterward.
Modern Revival (U.S.)
Underground Railroad: Churches served as crucial stops for escaped enslaved people in the U.S..
Vietnam War Era: Churches became sanctuaries for draft resisters, like those opposing the Vietnam War, creating a "sanctuary for the conscientious".
Central American Refugees: Starting in the 1980s, the Sanctuary Movement began in Tucson, Arizona, with churches sheltering refugees fleeing violence in El Salvador and Guatemala, challenging U.S. asylum denials.
Contemporary Context
Immigration: Today, churches continue to offer sanctuary to undocumented immigrants, a practice controversial due to potential conflicts with immigration laws, though the government historically avoided raids in "sensitive locations" like churches.
Focus on Innocence: Modern sanctuary differs from medieval times, focusing on protecting the innocent fleeing persecution, not harboring criminals.

Oxford's Math whiz John Lennox short.

Also an interesting worldview from SF novelist Philip K. Dick:

"Through his studies in philosophy, he believed that existence is based on internal human perception, which does not necessarily correspond to external reality.

He described himself as "an acosmic panentheist", which he explained as meaning that

"I don't believe that the universe exists. I believe that the only thing that exists is God and he is more than the universe. The universe is an extension of God into space and time. That's the premise I start from in my work, that so-called 'reality' is a mass delusion that we've all been required to believe for reasons totally obscure".[24]

After reading the works of Plato and pondering the possibilities of metaphysical realms, he came to the conclusion that, in a certain sense, the world is not entirely real and there is no way to confirm whether it is truly there. That question was a theme in many of his novels."

I've been seeing comments lately in industry articles giving Ringo a lot more credit than he ever got back in the day.

Your "word," shrimpsized(30-40)genitaliahiddenbyataco"Danielle" (28 29 30 plonks), is as useless as your so-called "English."

In the toilet.
