by German Lopez New York Times, December 27, 2024 TRUMP’S AGENDA Pushing people out Imagine the population of Chicago. Then quadruple it. That’s about how many unauthorized immigrants Donald Trump hopes to remove from the country: 11 million people in all. It won’t be easy. How will the government find all of these people? Where…

The Dead Patriots SocietyMay our children not behave like our President Post #1, November 10, 2024 As columnist Ruth Marcus notes in today’s Washington Post, Elon Musk and Trump advisor Mike Davis, like Donald Trump, are verbally attacking special counsel Jack Smith, who is shutting down his investigations of Trump.

Given all Trump has said and done since 2015, the most generous thing I can say about him is he must be quite ill. As such he might not be capable of fully understanding, as a sane person would, the consequences of his actions and the harm he has done to individuals, the Nation, and…
