Trump has threatened to launch attacks on Mexico, Colombia and Cuba and enraged our NATO allies by suggesting a hostile takeover of Greenland. He has told The New York Times that international law doesn't matter: "My own morality. My own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me."

He has done nothing to make your life better.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has continued his anti-vaccine crusade by radically slashing the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule and loosening U.S. dietary guidelines on alcohol consumption, hurling parents and the medical community into chaos.

Certainly, none of that makes anyone's life better.

Unity? Peace? Not in 2026 if Republicans let Trump continue.

Again, we are less than two weeks into the new year, and what we have seen from a president and a Republican Party ostensibly put in control of the country to lower food prices and improve the lives of hardworking Americans is chaos and death.

At his 2025 inauguration, Trump said: "Our power will stop all wars and bring a new spirit of unity to a world that has been angry, violent, and totally unpredictable."

Bandying about like pirates snatching other nations' oil and gunning down Americans in the streets doesn't jibe with stopping wars or nurturing a new spirit of unity. It's all divisiveness, all the time.

The killing of Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7 is example No. 1 of the epidemic of cruelty Trump has unleashed. Before we even knew the name of the person who was killed, Trump and his soulless minions had declared that she was a "domestic terrorist" and had justified the agent's actions in the court of public opinion.

Then after we knew the victim was a mother of three, a loving Christian, a person whose last words to the man who killed her were "I'm not mad at you," and after we saw the video that showed the administration was lying about her actions and nothing justified lethal force, the cruelty from Republican leaders kept coming.

The cruelty from Republican leaders kept coming.

#10 So says the government retiree, Major DEI Boaz.

He needed the federal government to give him a life.

#10 Major DEI Boazo says, "The Federal government isn't supposed to be so involved with a citizen's life."

And, yet, there are defense dollars being spent in all 435 Congressional Districts across this land.

And those defense dollars get into the pockets of citizens everywhere, from actual defense employees, down to the diner on the corner, whose employees are paid when those actual defense employees dine there.

Give it a rest, Major DEI Boazo **
