At 9:27 this morning, the President walked into the Oval Office, excited to once again be the first to do something. He was almost giddy as he made small talk while the event got underway, his attention captured by the large gold bell sitting on his desk. "I'm going to ring that bell. And does that bell stay in the White House? Because I'm not giving it back. We're going to put that in the middle of the new ballroom. I'm not going to give that bell back. It looks to me like it's going to stay here."
Then he stepped into position in front of the desk, repeatedly pushing into the children who had been strategically placed as he struggled to get himself fully into the cameras' view. It was another reminder of how completely unaware he seemed of the people around him. The most concerning moment came when he was asked about cryptocurrency. Instead of denying wrongdoing or defending his administration's actions, the President of the United States casually took credit for federal investigations being dropped, suggesting those who benefited had him to thank. "Every time I see a crypto guy where they dropped an investigation," Trump said, "I tell them, 'You're lucky I'm president.'"
So is this really what all these data centers are all about? And is this what Little MarkyWayne Mullin has been cooking up in the shadows? Sorry to say I am not shocked.
They are rolling the dice on everything to see if something shakes out ahead of November.
Stay tough people. Heather is right. They cannot get everyone.
What he did must start the boulder shifting at the top of the hill, if he hasn't started the massive roll downhill then what will ?
I am amazed every morning at Heather's post, at the quality of the writing and the information concentrated therein. She and the Major and good , brave people like them are who will retrieve America .
I am here in the U.K. , I know that due to my online content I am unlikely to be allowed to be with my friends and relatives in America again until the old man is gone, maybe then but I am old now.
I have spoken to just one person here who favours the old man in all the years he has been a curse on the American people. We loathe him and all he encompasses.
That picture. Those small children placed next to the old man , unknowing and unconcerned , will grow up to have a good, just, fair life because of people like Heather and the Major.
Thankyou to you and all like you from the outside world.
Thanks JayTay. It's reassuring to know there are real people in the rest of the world that understand the agony most of us are going through and don't hate "us."
It's absolutely appalling that Americans can't exercise their right to free speech without being intimidated by ICE agents. Shades of Nazi Germany all over again. This has Trump's paranoia written all over it.
Heather, I know that you didn't mention Trump influencing FIFA to reverse the banning of Balogun from the vital game between the US and Belgium by contacting the President of FIFA. Trump knows diddly squat about football. I'm very glad that in the end Belgium won.
What an embarrassment to have a whacko president influence a World Cup penalty call. Such a maroon. I love soccer, I love America but I also love winning cleanly, fair and square. Perhaps his inappropriate interference tainted yet another event.
Yup!! I love soccer. I wish Mr. Trump should be quiet! He doesn’t know how to shut up. Taco always gets in everybody’s ways. Trump is Trump. I wish that our beloved team would make it to Cup. Taco is fault.
Better to collect ourselves than stick our individual necks out. Use your credibility for that. Grab a few other dynamite women and put up a flagpole for a Coalition for the Good, and get millions at the ready for concerted actions!
The point Heather is making is that by speaking up, we already ARE sticking our necks out. We all should, early and often. They can’t arrest us all, no matter how many ‘detention centers’ they build. When we all speak up, there are far more of us than of them.
Agreed! We'd get somewhere if we were like Albania. And maybe it will come to that. However, people are more likely to take action when they belong to something.
You are individually being so brave but you have us all behind you.
I am a bit far away to take on ice but I have been voicing my disgust.
Any agency be it ice or white nationalists ( one and the same I feel) who need to cover their faces are rank cowards and should be called out.
Today too I am very sad that USA lost their football match but have to say it is divine justice as “cheats never prosper” - the end will come for Trump and his band of despicable men and women and I hope they fall very hard .
A question- why does Trump surround himself for every photoshoot in the Oval Office and what are the children there for ???
Every photo op. Is Propaganda and looking the White House”christian” nationalist that he/they are trying to accomplish in this Nazi, fascist, eugenics, sadistic, sociopathic Regime.
Molestation, maybe not physically but certainly mentally, God forbid maybe both. I know if he so much as touched my daughter I would see it as molestation. So, here I am calling him a molester.......................where's the knock on my door.
Thank you for this piece of really good writing. Even at an early age of 12 (I’m 76 now) I marveled at my families ability to take a train ride from small town Lexington, Nebraska to Sacramento, California for a family reunion where almost all of my mothers uncles and only aunt relocated from Callaway and Broken Bow, Nebraska during the Depression. What I thought about then was our ability to travel across all the mountain States without anybody caring - accept for those employees on the train who did nothing but help.
Now, we have this story of a man who without threat of violence or conspiracy with others to violently protest, is being told by thugs, don’t criticize, and shown that he has no freedom of travel, association, speech, or from fear and intimidation. Gestapo tactics I learned about while as a child I laid on my living room floor thumbing through two different sets of encyclopedias. My mother found a way to purchase them so I could do that, freely and without fear or intimidation, out on our rural, small town, central Nebraska farm. What I knew then was that we the people had defeated in World War ll, the fascist imperial evils attempting to subjugate the rest of us and the world.
Well, thanks to this family man and his lawsuit against these evil forces, we are all saying,”No, not here, not now!!!”
CALL, WRITE, PEACEFULLY PROTEST, AND SUPPORT AND VOTE FOR CANDIDATES THAT WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS!
If reasonable Americans want to maintain their freedom to speak, challenge and VOTE they MUST find the courage to resist the threat of tyranny and send their representatives emails, texts and letters telling THEM it is THEIR DUTY to protect the Constitution and perform their duty to the people of America and warn them that, if they choose to put their own careers before their duty to the country, they will be prosecuted with the full force of the law. There will soon be no one to pardon them for not doing their constitutional duties.
The sooner more people state their rights, the sooner Trump’s version of leadership will suffer its inevitable demise. Write, phone, email, SPEAK OUT!
Take back your country or suffer the consequences.
Collectively YOU have more power than the crooks in The White House. Use it America, for God’s sake USE IT!
Thank you for your column. I agree with you that we will always speak out. ICE makes me sick to my stomach. They have no right to silence us period. ICE will be abolished for good. ICE agents will be facing a very serious charge for murdering two people in Minnesota. They will face a prison sentence. We will always stand up and speak out until the Trump Administration will give up.
Simon and Garfunkel…..” Hello darkness, my old friend..I’ve come to talk with
you again ..because a vision softly creeping .. left it seeds while I was sleeping and the vision that was planted in my brain still remains …within the sound of silence……
“Fools”, said I “ You do not know” SILENCE LIKE A CANCER GROWS…..
We outnumber them by millions …we will NOT let silence grow and fester like a cancer that consumes and destroys everything in it’s path. We will NOT live in darkness and FEAR.
We will NOT allow them to intimidate us into believing that we have lost our right to speak our minds our truths our criticism…THEY do NOT have that right to take ours from us.
Continue on speaking out every way you can..tell them what you think help others do the same..they cannot stop ALL of us in any way.
Remember the old school yard words….cheaters never prosper…this cheater in the White House won’t prosper…he lost in 2020 even though he cheated like crazy..he just caused our soccer team to lose in the World Cup game because he cheated and got the rules changed which gave Belgium the biggest mental impetus to beat us and they DID soundly.
That’s what happens when you don’t play by the rules or you strong arm the game.
Every single thing he does we must fight and show him we are on the right side…we DON’T cheat…HE WILL NOT PROSPER.
Be the chemotherapy to his push for silence….STOP IT.
As Heather so eloquently points out, the way to deal with this is for more of us to speak out more frequently. Silence is complicity. Protest is our right and our duty.
So is this really what all these data centers are all about? And is this what Little MarkyWayne Mullin has been cooking up in the shadows? Sorry to say I am not shocked.
They are rolling the dice on everything to see if something shakes out ahead of November.
Stay tough people. Heather is right. They cannot get everyone.
Game on Donnie.
WE ARE NOT INTIMIDATED!!
WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER!!
WE SHALL and MUST OVERCOME!!
I will not stop sharing my negative feeling about ICE or sharing posts that expose their horrific deeds!
Neither will I, Sherri. #AbolishICE
Air Force Major Jason Watson .
He did this.
What he did must start the boulder shifting at the top of the hill, if he hasn't started the massive roll downhill then what will ?

Nope, not you chaps, just the old man.

Me too.
Belgium played a much better game.
PIsses me off so much that DT has to INTERFERE.😠😡 🗽🇺🇲🇺🇦🦋🌼🌸
Karma. Mr. Trump shouldn’t have in the meddle with FIFA. Shame on him.
What an embarrassment to have a whacko president influence a World Cup penalty call. Such a maroon. I love soccer, I love America but I also love winning cleanly, fair and square. Perhaps his inappropriate interference tainted yet another event.
Everything he touches turns to shit.
Yup!! I love soccer. I wish Mr. Trump should be quiet! He doesn’t know how to shut up. Taco always gets in everybody’s ways. Trump is Trump. I wish that our beloved team would make it to Cup. Taco is fault.
Nor does he KNOW anything about soccer!!! 😂 🤣 ⚽️
Keep loving soccer, Ryan!!!!!
Right, Mary Ann. Taco doesn’t know sports.
I do keep loving soccer!!
My words exactly!
All this does is make me want to speak out even more. I believe I will. No conditions. It is my right.
Better to collect ourselves than stick our individual necks out. Use your credibility for that. Grab a few other dynamite women and put up a flagpole for a Coalition for the Good, and get millions at the ready for concerted actions!
