The Democratic Congressional letter to Dummkopf Trumpf continues:

"Since the start of the current ceasefire agreement on 10 Oct 2025, at least 356 Palestinians have been killed and more than 900 have been injured by Israeli attacks. On 29 Nov, the IDF killed two brothers, aged 8 and 10, in a drone strike after they crossed into an Israeli-controlled area of Gaza, referring to the children as "suspects" in a statement that failed to acknowledge they were children. The total death toll from the war in Gaza has now surpassed 70,000, including over 20,000 children."

"Additionally, since the beginning of the ceasefire Israeli forces have reportedly destroyed more than 1,500 buildings, many of which did not appear to be damaged prior to being destroyed. These actions raise significant concerns that Israel could be acting in violation of international humanitarian law which prohibits the destruction of civilian property unless absolutely necessary for military operations. We also are gravely concerned that the Israeli government is not allowing sufficient levels of humanitarian aid to enter Gaza."

The hardworking American taxpayer has sent Israel, a prosperous nuclear-armed country with world class universal healthcare for its residents and a better ranked social security program than the US, $298 billion since 1948 (www.congress.gov).

An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC for crimes against humanity remains active for Benjamin Netanyahu and the Istanbul Public Prosecutor issued arrest warrants for him and 32 other Israelis accused of committing war crimes. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law or an international tribunal at the Hague.

The Epstein Files now accuse Donald Trump of being a witness to the disposal of a newborn bastard child at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein in Lake Michigan.
I believe this.
There is nothing in Trump's life of character to make me doubt it.

Too bad USAG Merrick Garland sat on these damaging files from 21 Jan 2021 to 19 Jan 2025.

Imagine if SC Jack Smith, NYSAG Letitia James, and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg had access to these files.

An army of victims would have come forward with high-powered attorneys filing lawsuits as well.

Dummkopf Trumpf would have spent half his time fighting these allegations in criminal and civil courts instead of running for POTUS.

The court of public opinion may have soured on the sex predator as well.

Ask Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor how everything worked out for him.

In 2000, women Veterans were just four percent of the US Veteran population. But by 2040, they are projected to make up 18% of all Veterans, making them the fastest growing group of Veterans. The median age of women Veterans was 52 in 2023. Approximately 22.5% were 65 or older, and 2.2% were 85 or older. Link: Women Vets

Secretary of the VA Douglas Collins has served as a chaplain in the USAF Reserve since 2002 and was promoted to Colonel in 2023.
The Republican war on women, Veterans, the vulnerable, the sick, the handicapped, the medically uninsured, the homeless, and the hungry continues apace.

Good job, Ladies!


There are 2 Kansas City's - Kanssas City, KS and Kansas City, MO. They are next to each other, separated by the Kansas and Missouri rivers. KCMO is much larger than KCKS and KCMO is where the stadiums are - for now. The airport is in KCMO. If someone said they were going to 'Kansas City', most people would be thinking of the Missouri side of the metro, even if they incorrectly thought it was in Kansas. As for the Chiefs - I live in KCMO and this is a mixed bag. On one hand, the Hunts are worth 25 BILLION and can afford to build their own stadium without any assistance, but wanted some kind of welfare/socialism so they didn't have to foot the entire cost. The state of KS came thru for them. The area around the stadiums is run down and KCMO/Jackson County has never done anything to improve it or make it an after game destination. Once the games are over, you have to drive somewhere else for any kind of 'after game' activities. Hard to blame the Chiefs, but sucks that MO can't keep a team they've had for 50+ years. MO's deal seemed slapped together and couldn't compete with what KS offered. Our MAGA Governor and MAGA legislature were far more worried about gerrymandering, fighting to ban abortion, and getting rid of the citizen initiative process in our constitution than they were about the Chiefs, and Kansas took advantage. Bottom line, though, this was the Chiefs (Hunts) decision. Money wins again - another billionaire gets someone else to pay for a place for his team to play in.

Here are the nonprofit colleges that announced closures this year:


Northland College
St. Andrews University
Limestone University
Bacone College
Penn State - Dubois
Penn State - Fayette
Penn State - Mont Alto
Penn State - New Kensington
Penn State - Shenango
Penn State - Wilkes-Barre
Penn State - York
Siena Heights University
The King's College
Trinity Christian College
Sterling College

College or university closures outside the US are rare. Spurgeon's College, a Baptist seminary in London, shuttered its doors this year.

However in the US, nearly 300 colleges and universities offering an associate degree or higher closed between 2008 and 2023. More than 60% of those were run by for-profit operators. Sadly, in 2022 HBUC Lincoln College in Illinois was forced to close its doors after 157 years because of financial difficulties and COVID-19.

As of Dec 2025, the US has approximately 902 billionaire oligarchs, making America the country with the largest billionaire population in the world.

Recently, mega-oligarch Miriam Adelson obnoxiously offered Dummkopf Trumpf $250m towards him seeking a third term.

One AI snapshot revealed that $250 million could potentially save five to ten small colleges from closure. So, Miriam Adelson, or any one of these super-rich 902 oligarchs, could have easily saved dozens of colleges or universities from demise.

The priorities of America's billionaire mega-oligarchs are certainly not for the benefit of the American people but their own greedy self-interest to say the least.
