Oh, oh. Today is Friday the 13th. Bad luck day, although it seems that every day for the past 4 1/2 months has been ‘bad luck day.’ I’ve been so busy looking for that perfect birthday present for the $45 million ‘Big Beautiful Tanks on the Street Birthday Bash’ to be held tomorrow, that I just haven’t had time to sit down and ramble. I finally gave up and just put a turd in a shoebox and sent it off. I ate 4 Big Mac’s and a pound of meatloaf to get that perfect turd that Don can relate to. Anyhoo, let’s move on.

Here’s where we are in the banana republic today. We’ve got U.S. Marines and California National Guard patrolling the streets of Los Angeles. Israel and Iran are at war. Yesterday a U.S. Senator, Alex Padilla, was thrown to the floor and handcuffed because he asked the puppy killer Ice Barbie a simple question. Paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne, hand picked to stand behind Trump and Hegseth for their allegiance and physical appearance (no fat one’s), earlier this week at Fort Bragg, cheered the partisan speeches by Trump attacking American states and booed Governor Newsom, Mayor Bass, President Biden, and the press. Military.com, a military news publication, wrote about the Fort Bragg event and was not complimentary about the behavior of Trump, Hegseth and the soldiers involved. “This has been a bad week for the Army for anyone who cares about us being a neutral institution,” one commander at Fort Bragg told Military.com on the condition of anonymity to avoid retaliation. “This was shameful. I don’t expect anything to come out of it, but I hope maybe we can learn from it long term.” Retired Army Lt. General Russel Honore called the speech “inappropriate” and said “I never witnessed that shit like this in 37 years in uniform.”

We may be just hours away from American soldiers and Marines receiving orders to kill American citizens, being told it is the right and lawful thing to do by their superiors, including the Commander in Chief. Many of these young soldiers, who have been put into this precarious situation, don’t realize that killing American citizens on American soil is a crime and is illegal. They must remember that they swore an oath to the Constitution – not Donald Trump. The Save America Movement (https://ourmoralmoment.substack.com/p/this-moment-demands-a-moral-movement believes that we are in a crisis and has started an ad campaign aimed at military personnel and their families as a reminder that The military serves the Republic, and swears an oath of allegiance to the US Constitution.

Now on to some good news. The weather forecast for tomorrow’s ‘birthday bash’ calls for rain and a possible thunderstorm in Washington D.C. Isn’t it a shame that the Kim Jong Un wannabe might have his authoritarian military parade disrupted a bit? Hopefully, the weather throughout the rest of the nation will be warm and dry for the “No King’s Day” demonstrations in over 2000 cities in all 50 states in protest to ‘America going North Korea’ on us.

Good news #2. Trump may have put a damper on Stephen Miller’s goal of deporting 3,000 immigrants per day, whether they are in America legally or illegally, when Don announced, “Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming!” later, speaking to reporters, he said “Our farmers are being hurt badly by—you know, they have very good workers, they’ve worked for them for 20 years, they’re not citizens, but they’ve turned out to be, you know, great. And we’re going to have to do something about that. We can’t take farmers and take all their people and send them back.”. Wow! The administration is just figuring this out? The sastirical Andy Borowitz thinks that It’s dawning on Trump that without migrants to pick tomatoes he would not have ketchup to throw. Whatever works.

Good news #3. Don and Melania attended their first show at the Kennedy Center Wednesday night, where they saw the opening night of “Les Misérables.” It probably wasn’t the ‘date night’ that Mel was expecting, however, as her date was booed, yelled at, cursed at, and had several drag queens draped in what they described as a “lovely creamsicle flowing comfortable gown,” seated in front of the stage. They were there to protest tRump’s social media post that under his new leadership there would be “NO MORE DRAG SHOWS, OR OTHER ANTI-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA — ONLY THE BEST.” It was a fitting show for the couple, as they obviously don’t see the irony of the show’s themes and what is happening across the country right now.
