E. Jean Carroll Receives Damages From Trump

E Jean Carroll has just received $5.6 million in damages from Donald Trump. She has elected to hold the funds in a trust account pending further appeals.

She has officially received the first of two major payments from Donald Trump, totaling $5,625,005.48. This amount was released from the court registry following Judge Lewis Kaplan’s denial of Trump’s motion for a stay.

The funds, now considered as voluntary Escrow, is keeping the funds in her lawyer’s interest-bearing trust account. This move is intended to neutralize Trump’s legal argument that he would suffer “irreparable harm” if she spent the money before his “Hail Mary” appeals to the Supreme Court are resolved.

The Supreme Court has already shot down his initial appeal to not pay Carroll the funds, but in the meantime for not paying her upfront, he has accrued $625,005.48 in interest charges for delaying paying after the court decision 3 years ago. And, if one Supreme Court decision was not enough, Trump continues to contact the Supreme Court hoping that they will overturn their own previous decision.

If that’s not enough of a problem for Trump, there is a second judgement in the works exceeding $91 million (including interest) that is secured with a surety bond. It most likely will be finalized some time in 2027, depending the Supreme Court’s review of Trump’s immunity claims.

How can Trump claim immunity in either case? Donald Trump was not president when he was ordered to pay the combined ~$91 million in damages to E. Jean Carroll; the verdicts were reached while he was a private citizen and former president. So by present law, he cannot claim immunity. 

The first judgment of $5 million was issued in May 2023 by a federal jury finding him liable for sexual abuse and defamation, and the second judgment of $83.3 million followed in January 2024 for additional defamation.  Trump served as president from 2017 to 2021 and began his second term in January 2025, meaning both civil trials and liability findings occurred during the interval between his presidencies. He is currently president as of the July 2026 payment release, but the legal judgments themselves predate his current term. 

On the legal standpoint, even with conservative leaning judges, the Supreme Court has already denied certiorari 13 times regarding various aspects of these cases, suggesting a very low probability of Trump succeeding on the merits of his current motions for reconsideration.

In  a recent featured interview clip, E. Jean Carroll clarifies her motivations, stating that the litigation was never about personal enrichment.

She has established a foundation through the law firm Loeb & Loeb, chaired by Rachel Harrison.

Once the legal proceedings ae fully concluded and the funds are cleared, she intends to distribute the majority of the awarded damages through this foundation.

At 81 years old, Carroll notes that her happiness is derived from simple activities like walking her dog and enjoying meal,  rather than to accumulation of wealth.

Trump’s Forever War along with his Broken Promises

Donald Trump’s war has now been raging for almost 5 months.  It looks to be a never ending war. The only thing Trump can do in his mind is to try and destroy Iran by taking over the Strait of Hormuz, and at what cost? Of course, at the taxpayer cost, as he will continue to bomb Iran’s infrastructure, against the will of the U.S. Congress and commit crimes against humanity.  Trump was ordered in a decision by U.S Congress to put an end to the war with Iran, but in total disregard to the legislative branch, he continues to attack Iran.

So instead of defeating Iran, incidentally in a war that Trump has already lost, we are simply going to guard the Strait of Hormuz forever against a country that we’re in war with. How’s that gonna work?

The war is a stain on Trump that will never go away. Instead of fighting a war using tax payer dollars as he has been for the last 5 months, how about him finally delivering on his broken promises. Instead he’s escalating the war that seems will never end. The  Republicans who supported Trump time and time again with his ill-destined decision which they knew were bad, will be paying for it in the midterms which is just 5 months away.

Trump did one thing good and that’s all. He signed a bill into law that would finally deliver the Epstein files. He signed the bill, but…

HIS PROMISE WAS BROKEN… instead of following the law that he signed, he has been stalling ever since to produce the files. Trump believes that we need to follow his laws, but he does not. He found out that his name IS in the Epstein files, so now he will not have his Justice Department release them. Instead he is now doing favors for a convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

ANOTHER PROMISE TRUMP MADE…

He was going to lower prices on ‘Day One’ of his presidency, and he would end inflation, and lastly “make America affordable again.”

Instead, he broke he own promise as inflation has accelerated and prices have spiked on everything from groceries to gas, mainly due to Trump’s reckless trade war.

ANOTHER PROMISE TRUMP MADE... AND NOT KEPT…

He promised that he would not touch Medicaid or Medicare and promised to veto his own budget bill if it included cuts to Medicaid. So what does he do instead?  Trump signed the largest health care cut in history costing nearly 17 million Americans health care and raising Medicare Part D costs. Trump did not keep his promise.

ANOTHER PROMISE TRUMP MADE… AND NOT KEPT…

He promised that he would protect Social Security.

Instead, he broke his promise with the passing the “One, Big, Beautiful Bill”, as his own Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant says that the bill is a “backdoor for privatizing Social Security”. Every time he and Republicans in Congress gloats about ‘NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY’, that is actually a lie and a big joke. Personally, I’ve been paying taxes on Social Security since retirement just because my wife holds a job. Since she works and our income is higher than what Donald Trump would like it to be, I have to pay taxes, which amounts to thousands of dollars each year. I pay more taxes out of my own pocket this year than I ever had in any single year of my entire working life.

ANOTHER PROMISE TRUMP MADE… AND NOT KEPT…

It was a simple humanizing promise. He promised to stand with working people.

He broke his promise when he came out with his billionaire-first budget which turned out to be the largest wealth transfer to the ultra-wealthy, from low-income and middle-income Americans. He never really planned to help working class people.

ANOTHER PROMISE TRUMP MADE… AND NOT KEPT…

Trump promised to reduce or even eliminate the national debt.

Instead, it turned out to be just another broken promise.  His budget will increase the national debt substantially by over $3 trillion over the next decade.

ANOTHER PROMISE TRUMP MADE… AND NOT KEPT…

Trump promised to protect and expand in-vitro fertilization access and make the treatments cheap with government assistance requiring insurance companies to cover treatment for it.

ANOTHER BROKEN PROMISE… Please show me a plan where is administration plans to fund or require health insures to cover IVF.

THERE ARE NO PLANS.

Trump promised to get the U.S. out of “FOREVER WARS,”. He claimed he would end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of becoming president. He also claimed that he would end the war in Gaza and bring peace to the Middle East.

ANOTHER PROMISE BROKEN… Trump started a war, and he doesn’t know how to end it with Iran. All he is capable of doing is escalating the war using taxpayer dollars. U.S. soldiers have died in the process.

Trump has no desire to put a stop to the war in Ukraine. Even if he wanted to, he cannot end the war. Russia and Putin are his friend. The only way he would assist in stopping the war would be if Ukraine agreed to all of Russia’s demands. The Ukraine president will never agree, so the war wages on as the death tolls grow. The war started on February 24, 2022, and it’s raging four years later.

So that is the way that Trump plans to stop it?!!! He doesn’t know how, and he’s too stupid to get advise because only he and he alone can be right, no one knows better than him. Really?/!/@#

Bipartisan Housing Bill Goes in Effect Without Trumps Signature

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is a landmark bipartisan housing bill that automatically became law on July 12, 2026, without President Donald Trump’s signature. Trump refused to sign the legislation in protest of the Senate’s failure to pass his proposed SAVE America Act voter ID bill, but he did not veto it, allowing it to take effect under the Constitution after a 10-day period.

There are three branches of government. They are the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches. Trump does not have the authority to decide which laws Congress passes. But if they pass a law, it is only right that he signs the bill whether he likes it or not. He could VETO the bill if he wanted to but Congress could override his veto, and the bill would become law anyway. The primary job of the legislative branch is to write, debate, and pass laws that govern the country. This branch, established by Article I of the U.S. Constitution, is composed of the bicameral Congress, which consists of the House of Representatives and the Senate. If Congress passes a law, the President MUST sign it. 

President Donald Trump was scheduled to sign the bipartisan housing bill during a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, but he abruptly canceled the event just hours before it was set to take place.  Instead of signing the legislation, he demanded that Congress first pass the unrelated SAVE America Act. The SAVE America Act has failed to pass the Senate and is effectively dead as of July 2026. Although the bill passed the House of Representatives in April 2025 and again in early 2026, it stalled in the Senate due to an inability to secure the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster and opposition from both Democrats and some Republicans. 

Finally, a bipartisan housing bill passed overwhelmingly in the House and Senate, and all Trump needed to do was to sign the bill when it reached his desk. But he refused to sign it as a symbolic protest because the Senate failed to pass the SAVE America Act, an unrelated voting restriction bill he prioritized.  Although he declined to affix his signature, he did not veto the legislation, allowing the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act to automatically become law on July 11, 2026, after the constitutionally mandated 10-day period expired.

Nobody knows it more that he himself. Donald Trump will effectively become a lame duck President in November if the House and Senate moves to a Democratic majority. If it becomes a super-majority in both the house and Senate, Donald Trump is in real trouble. The House Oversite committee which will be now run by the Democrats will investigate Trump and eventually he will end up testifying in court as a sitting President.

The Save America Act if passed would require the following…

    • Valid ID Before Registering to Vote in a Federal Election
    • Proof of Citizenship
    • No Mail-in Ballots (Except for Illness, Disability, Military or Travel)

So just to get his way, he decided that it was more important to try and pass a bill that the Senate refused to pass in two tries, and threaten to not sign legislation in protest. Donald Trump did not care whether the bill passed by the legislative branches. Trump was only concerned for himself. He wanted his bill passed that would require a valid ID before Registering to Vote in a Federal Election, along with proof of Citizenship, as the final act of his bill would eliminate mail-in ballots in most cases.

Actually, the Republican wanted to finally show a win to their constituents so that they could have something to run in November. The Housing bill is just that ticket they needed. But Trump didn’t care. Since he’s not going to be on the ballot because he can’t run for a 3rd term, he decides to shoot his own party in the foot and not sign the bill.

The Bipartisan Housing Act became law without his signature. Donald Trump once again proves that he is a lousy human being and could care less in helping others.

Sexual Misconduct by Donald J. Trump

 

So far in Donald Trump’s life, he has been publicly accused by 28 women, who have either have claimed sexual misconduct, including rape, sexual assault, unwanted groping, and kissing. Actually, the total number of accusers varies depending on the types of incidents counted. He acted to satisfy himself, with no consideration of how the women he attacked felt.

There have been public accusers, which included documented timelines, such as those compiled on Wikipedia, with at least 28 individual women.

Donald Trump’s Civil Court Outcomes while never criminally convicted for these acts, was found liable by a federal civil jury in 2023 for the sexual abuse of writer E. Jean Carroll.

There are cataloged accounts such as published in a book ‘All the President’s Women’ – have cataloged accounts and allegations from upwards of 40 to nearly 70 women depending on how unverified or peripheral claims are categorized.  Of course, the liar that Trump is, he has adamantly denied all accusations.

But regardless of what he says, which most of the time is just a lie, he has been accused of sexual conduct with the following women…

  1. Jessica Leeds
  2. Ivana Trump
  3. Kristin Anderson
  4. Jill Harth
  5. E. Jean Carroll
  6. Cathy Heller
  7. Temple Taggart
  8. Mariah Billado
  9. Karena Virginia
  10. Bridget Sullivan
  11. Tasha Dixon
  12. Mindy McGillibray
  13. Rachael Crooks
  14. Natasha Stoymoff
  15. Jessica Drake
  16. Ninni Leaksonen
  17. Summer Zervos
  18. Cassandra Searles
  19. Alva Johnson
  20. Lisa Boyne
  21. Amy Dorris
  22. Stacey Williams

Trump is a sexual predator. He’s been abusing women for over 50 years of record. But for whatever reason, the only sexual case that he has been convicted of is with the attack of E. Jean Carrol in an apartment store. Trump is a disgusting human being. The sickofants that follow him after knowing about his past along with his convictions, are ignorant and blind. He has been destroying the country in his second reign as president, but people seem to care less.

In a 2005 recording with Billy BushDonald Trump made lewd remarks about women, stating: “I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ‘em by the pussy. You can do anything.”

That’s pretty sick. But if you ask my Republican friends about it, they will tell you that Trump is a good person. Trump decided willingly and willfully to act in this manner. It was his decision to do so. It was one decision point of Donald Trump that may not only put him in jeopardy to keep his freedom someday when the Democratic Oversight Committee takes form in November of 2006. Unending hearings will be taking place, and everyone will finally realize what an evil man Donald J. Trump is. He may pardon all of the January 6th rioters and other that do not deserve a pardon, but he will not be able to pardon himself. President Donald Trump pardoned nearly 1,600 individuals charged or convicted in connection with the January 6 United States Capitol attack on January 20, 2025, the first day of his second term. The proclamation granted full pardons to most defendants and commuted the sentences of 14 specific individuals, including leaders of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys convicted of seditious conspiracy. 

This Age of Trump and What’s to Come

Presently, we live in the age of Donald Trump, a convicted felon, a rapist and a fraudster. Who elected this man? I sure didn’t. But my good friends did, all whom are Republicans. They actually voted for this sick piece of human being. I don’t blame them all. But I bet ALL have voters remorse after almost 2 years of his 2nd term and his absolutely sick representation as their President of the United States.

Two years to go and this trash will be out of the Whitehouse. It may be sooner because of his health. He will soon be a lame duck president, as soon as January 1 of 2027, when the new House and new Senate will be under new leadership by Democrats. Regardless of the game he’s playing now to take the vote away from the American people by jerrymandering districts in several states, the Republicans have NO CHANCE of winning the midterm elections or even the next Presidential election. The upcoming presidential election will be the 61st presidential election in U.S. history, with the winner scheduled to be inaugurated on January 20, 2029.

Donald Trump is their fearless leader, who works against his own party and…

We all know what’s coming… OVERSITE… OVERSITE, and more OVERSITE. Trump has been continuously attacking his political adversaries with his corrupt justice department, and where has that got him. It’s all going to come back and bite him. He appointed Pam Bondi and what happened to her. She’s about to lose her Bar license too. He fired her because she didn’t do every thing he wanted. So now he’s got Tod Blanche. How log will he last? He could lose his bar license also. But never fear, as the criminal in Donald Trump who pardoned the insurrectionists, will pardon every friend he believed he has. He’d try to pardon himself if he could, but that’s not going to happen. The question is whether Tod Blanche can even get confirmed. Blanche has too much baggage to get confirmed. I’ll elaborate my ideas here in another post.

And… Donald Trump is an impulsive liar. You can blame Trump’s incessive crimes and lies day after day on the Republican Supreme Court because he has immunity that no other president in U.S. history has had.

Thanks to Trump, what are we going to lose next? The Supreme Court is getting ready to vote on ‘Birthright Citizenship’. It’s been the law of the land since the creation of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1868, 158 years ago. Even this one-sided Republican Supreme Court most likely will not vote to eliminate Birthright Citizenship.

The Democratic Party is CRIMINAL when it comes to Donations

I say it ‘like it is’ on this website. I do not throw punches, but what is said here is just the truth.

So, the first thing I would like to say is that the Democratic Party is CRIMINAL in the way that they advertise for contributions. I would imagine the Republican Party is the same way, but I actually believe the Democrats are absolutely guilty when it comes for begging money.  They brag on not accepting large amount donations and receive all of their funs from small donors. That is true. But how many text messages do I receive each and every day where the Democratic party is asking for money to help support their cause? The answer… Almost 100 messages each week.  They try and make it my cause and, in most cases, it is just that. But I refuse to donate to an organization, regardless of which party is represented, even my own, regardless of the cause because I feel that they are invading my privacy, as I read every text sent to me, and that just wastes time. Each and every election season is that way. Honestly, it’s disgusting.

Then I get messages like, ‘whatever you donate, we will match 5 times’. Really?\/??

If you CAN match what I send, then why ask for my donation and just put in 5 times an amount that YOU would like me to donate.  After all, you are supposed to represent us. We elected you to do the job to protect the American people, to protect us. Now you want our money to do it. Our vote to put you in office wasn’t enough. All you need from me is my vote, and you already have that, so stop with the harassments.

What the Democratic party needs to worry about are the turnouts for the election. If Democrats actually came out to vote in the last election, Trump would not be sitting in the White House. He would be sitting in jail.

Heck, in most cases, the beggers are a Congressman or one running for Congress, and they make a ton of money, get free healthcare for life, and I’m lucky to live on what I make and I have to worry about paying doctors bills.

If I donated $10 each time I received such a text message request, I would have donated my  Social Security income for almost an entire year just to donate to the Democratic Party. Then they say if I don’t respond, then I must be voting for Trump. That’s a low punch and the Democratic party is very wrong in doing this.

What they are asking from their constituents should be a CRIME. They ask via text because it is easy and it’s so cheap to do. When you donate the first time in the past,  now they have your phone number or email address and nothing seems to stop them for outright harassing you to donate money via text messaging. The Democratic Party is VERY SAD in this respect!

Will this crap with the American president finally stop?

It’s like a bad dream and you hope that it is just that, but the Americans wake up every morning to acknowledge that it is so true and it is NOT a dream. The sad part is that the U.S. Congress allows it to happen.

At the beginning of his second term, Trump immediately starting imposing tariffs amongst most countries around the world. Congress is supposed to initiate tariffs, but Trump has decided that the rules of the country and the Constitution doesn’t matter. He destroyed the markets, people’s savings, meanwhile passing laws to enrich the wealthy and make the poor poorer. Two government shutdowns, farmers going bankrupt, and people losing their health insurance. With his free reign of immunity, Trump acts upon his whim, and doesn’t rule with prudence and measured action. One day he attacks Venezuela. Another day he says he wants to take over Greenland. He decided to do that after he confronted Canada, saying that Canada needs to be the 51st state. He takes it upon himself to rename the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America. On another day Trump levels the White House East Wing. Again, Congress is supposed to approve actions such as this, but Trump decided to not ask or inform, he just demolished the iconic East Wing. For what? He says that he wants to build a magnificent ballroom. Is there anyone in power today that can turn this disaster around? What is it going to take to get rid of Trump. With only the first year of his second term behind him, congressmen are already floating the idea of the 25th Amendment but one thing for sure is coming, and that would be another impeachment. It will be number 3 for the Donald.

In the meantime, many countries have had enough of Donald Trump. The European Union invites Canada to join the European Union. Canada starts trading with European customers, ignoring the United States.

A former Canadian member of Parliament Charlie Angus pulls no punches when it comes to Donald Trump. In a most recent speech of Charlie Angus, he states that Canada can no longer rely of international law, historical alliances, or the “whim” of U.S. leadership to guarantee its security. Angus argues that the erosion of the rule of law in Washington necessitates an “all-of-society” resistance strategy within Canada. He calls for the mobilization of volunteer citizens’ force and a shift toward local resilience to safeguard the nation’s 9.000-kilometer border and democratic values.

Angus proposes a framework for Canadian citizens to protect national integrity, modeled after the Danish resistance during WWII.

The following are the Ten Commandments of Resistance for Canada…

1. Defend Sovereignty: A commitment to protect Canada’s territorial and democratic integrity.
2. Disaster Response: active participation in managing national disasters, fires, or border threats.
3. Skill Upgrading: Training in first aid, emergency preparedness, and community support.
4. Grassroots Action: Consistent participation in voting and democratic resistance.
5. Inclusion: Upholding Indigenous rights and resisting discrimination based on sex, race, or religion.
6. Economic Boycott: Boycotting U.S. goods in favor of local food sovereignty.
7. Information Defense: Acting as a blocker of disinformation and hate speech.
8. Local Solidarity: Forming small local resistance groups to recruit and support others.
9. Non-Cooperation: Refusing to cooperate with institutional or corporate “tyranny” or the rolling back of rights.
10. Active Disruption: Engaging in mass civil disobedience if territorial integrity is breached internally or externally.

What about Nuance and Friction?

First, there is Institutional Failure: As Angus stated, a “collective failure” of the media, courts, and business classes in the U.S. to constrain authoritarian behavior, suggesting these institutions are now complicit.

Second, there is a “King Charles” Factor: Angus mocks the idea that Canadian safety depends on personal rapport between leaders (e.g., Trump’s alleged affinity for the King) rather than legal frameworks.

Third, concerning Internal Readiness, there is a noted friction regarding the Canadian government’s reported plans for a 300,000-person volunteer force. Angus questions why these plans have not been made public despite high citizen interest.

Fourth, there is a geopolitical shift. Canada is likened to Finland or the Baltic states-nations historically forced into high-alert resistance do to the proximity to a menacing neighbor.

Immediately below is the speech text from Charlie Angus in its entirety from the MeidasTouch network.

 

More Detail on Trump’s “Big, Beautiful. UGLY Bill”

 

On July 3rd, the House of Representatives voted in favor of the single most inhumane piece of legislation in modern American history – a budget that strips healthcare away from 17 million Americans, takes food assistance away from 3 million Americans, eliminates school meal access for more than 18 million kids, adds nearly $4 trillion to national debt, sends electricity costs surging, and substantially raises health care premiums for older adults with ACA coverage.

All for what? Just so that 84 of the wealthiest people of the world get a tax break. So Donald Trump got what he wanted. His so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” has now become law. Say goodbye to Medicaid, and say goodbye to SNAP.

The “Big, Beautiful Bill” slashes food and health benefits for the poorest Americans, while giving tax cuts to higher earners – blowing a hole in the nation’s safety net, according to healthcare experts and advocates for lower-income people.

Why it matters…  Experts say the cuts could unleash a tidal wave of pain – overcrowded emergency rooms, an increase in chronic health care issues, more medical debt, and more folks going hungry.

While a handful of the wealthiest people of the world get richer, the middle class and some of the poorest people of the world will die, because they will be denied health care. So now there is “No tax on tips” which gives just a few people a break, but that provision in the bill expires in a few years. But what about “Lower taxes for the rich” because of the bill. The bill extends the 2017 tax break that Trump gave to the rich in his first term. This bill cements this tax break permanently for the rich.

What happened about “No taxes on Social Security”? That provision was pretty much cut out of the bill, even though Trump promised that he would eliminate taxes on Social Security. A tax deduction on Social Security was added, but capped at $6,000. 95% of people who collect Social Security will continue to pay taxes on their benefit.

The people still do not know what’s in a bill that the Senate and House approved of and that Donald J. Trump signed into law. The lawmakers didn’t even have time to read the whole bill. But what is known is that the rich benefit and the middle class and poor are now behind the 8-ball.

So again, let’s go through some of the highlights that will haunt the Republican party in the mid-term elections.

  • $1.1 Trillion in Health Care Cuts.
  • 17 million losing health care.
  • Medicaid will disappear.
  • Kids with disabilities and the ones needing insulin are about to loose that.
  • All government assistance, including food stamps, housing and government assistance is lost just to give a massive tax break to 84 of the richest people in the world.
  • $4 Trillion tax cut for the rich would lock in many of the 2017 tax cuts passed in Trumps first term for the richest Americans.
  • It turbocharges funding for Trumps massive deportation.
  • It begins a seismic shift in the nation’s fiscal trajectory and raises the risk of a debt crisis. The national debt rises substantially, with $3.5 Trillion to $5 Trillion added.
  • In the Quinnipiac poll, only 29% support the bill, and 55% oppose it. The lawmakers that represent their people did exactly the opposite of what the majority wanted, just so that they could please Donald J. Trump. In a Fox News poll, only 39% support the bill, and 59% oppose it.
  • This bill will damage small cities and towns, many of which are Republican strongholds. Why? Because it stops money from being destined to local hospitals, approximately 1,000 hospitals across the country. Many of these hospitals will close because of the lack of funding. These hospitals are in rural areas, where the hospital itself is one of the largest employers in the area, and people will lose jobs. Towns will file for bankruptcy. They can no longer stay solvent.

Medicaid will no longer be approved for people that do not qualify for Medicare.

The so-called fiscal conservatives fell in line with the bill. The Republican party caved in. No longer can they ever own the moniker of being a fiscal conservative. The Republican party is a joke, and they do not represent their constituents, but instead they represent Donald J. Trump, a convicted felon, a tax cheat, a fraudster and a convicted rapist.

The Results of a “GOP Big Beautiful Bill”

It’s hard to imagine that the people that represent us in Congress are having such a difficult time in deciding whether or not to pass Trump’s big beautiful bill. Actually, both sides have passed the bill, but the process to pass bills today in Congress is so convoluted.

So far, this is what happened. First, the Republican led House of Representatives passed the bill first. Why were they in such a hurry to do so? It’s because they wanted to pass the torch to the Senate, and let them figure out a way to make it work, because they knew that in it’s present form, it would not pass in the Senate. They didn’t want to piss-off Trump, as the cowards they are. As expected, the Senate refused to pass the bill as sent over by the House. So the Senate modified it, and it passed with the narrowest of margins, with a 50-50 tie and then Vice President Vance broke the tie.

So now the modified bill that still contains provisions that are poison for the American people still exist in the bill. There will be debate in the Senate, and there is a good chance that the bill will be modified once again to appease some of the Republicans that just will not vote for it in it’s present position.

But let’s get into the ‘meat and potatoes’ of the bill that our elected representivives plan to vote on.

Here are the negatives of the bill…

1 – There will be $1.1 Trillion in Health Care cuts.

2 – 11.8 million people will lose their health care – Medicade will cease to exist.  All government assistance, including food stamps, housing and government assistance will be lost when this bill is passed that will give a massive tax cut to the rich.

3 – There will be a $4 Trillion tax cut for the rich that would lock in many of the 2017 tax cuts passed for the richest Americans.

4 – It turbocharges funding for Trump’s massive deportation.

5 – It begins a seismic shift in the nations fiscal trajectory and it raises the risk of a debt crisis. The U.S. debt raises substantially, between $3.5 trillion to $5 Trillion added.

6 – In a few polls, first, namely the Quinnipiac poll, only 29% support the bill and 55% oppose it.

7 – The Fox news poll only favors the bill by 39% and 59% oppose it.

What’s crazy, this bill that Republicans  in Congress are leaning to support will damage small cities and towns, many of which are Republican strongholds. Why do I say that? I say this because it DEFUNDS money destined for local hospitals. If you take the money away, these hospitals will close down. In many small towns, hospitals represent the second largest employer in the city. If the hospitals go down, the town goes down with it. Trump can’t give a damn about anyone except himself. He is so ignorant, that he doesn’t know that through his actions, he will go down as the worst president in U.S. history.  But maybe he’s not as ignorant as that. Maybe he knows but just doesn’t care.

Why would the Republicans attack Medicade just so that the rich will get a tax cut? Why does Trump want to hurt people in so many cowardly ways? Why do the American people put up with him? Everyone says that it will change in the midterms when Trump most likely will become a lame duck president, when the Democrats will take over the U.S. House and Senate. Many say that the Democrats will right the ship when they get back in power. But I’m not too confident that the country can last until then.

The one thing people say on the liberal side of the isle regarding this bill that is good is that the bill incorporates ‘NO TAX ON TIPS’, and ‘END TAXES ON SOCIAL SECURITY’.  Don’t the Democrats realize that ending taxes on social security will only be temporary and most likely will be changed back to the way it was before ‘Trump’s Big, Beautiful tax bill’? Do they realize by passing this bill will doom Social Security in the future? All for what? Just so the richest of the rich get a permanent tax cut.

Trump’s First 100 Days – A Total Disaster – A Total Screwup

April 24, 2025

Just think about this for a minute. Trump has been very bad in trying to do the bad things he tries to do. Let that sink in. Most presidents, or shall I say every president before Trump has made it a goal to accomplish as much as they can do within the first 100 days that’s good for the country. It’s the ruler that the country can go by to determine the success of the presidency going forward.

Many of my friends just dismiss what goes on with Donald Trump. As they think since they voted for him and he won the election, they don’t have to follow what’s going on, because their leader, a convicted felon and rapist, can keep the country safe, and all will be well. But what Donald Trump has proven in his first 90 days is that there has been just a comedy of errors for just about everything he has done or has tried to do. What my dear friends fail to see are these comedy of errors he has made since day 1.

30 SCREWUPS ARE LISTED BELOW and Trump hasn’t even completed his first 100 days.

1) Donald Trump came out of the gate on day one in his surprise to destroy the government as one of his orders was a White House memo to freeze all federal grants and loans. But in less than 48 hours he had to take it back. He rescinded his own memo freezing Federal Grants and created confusion and legal challenges. It was the first big thing he did, but he immediately had to take that back.

2) He puts somebody in charge of the FBI who he actually didn’t want to put in charge of the FBI.

According to the Wall Street Journal…

“The White House officials goofed on the White House website and listed the wrong man in charge of the FBI, people familiar with the matter said. Instead of correcting the error, officials let it stand, and the two men traded temporary titles…”

So they accidentally put the wrong person in charge as the acting head of the FBI. Now that was super smart.

3) Then the CIA sent unclassified email with names of recent hires.

4) Trump’s actions made it possible for the U.S. Postal Service to  stop accepting accept packages from China. When he made an announcement, he had no idea of the implications of what it would cause. Every word that the president says is scrutinized by the world. The Post Office alerted Trump that based on what he announced, the United States could no longer receive mail from China.  Obviously this had to be reversed. Real smart.

5) Trump and Musk fired the director of the National Security Agency (NSA). Nothing big here, but the NSA happens to handle the safe transportation and storage of the U.S. nuclear weapons. This was a major screw up. Trump and Musk fire but then try to rehire nuclear weapons workers. Are you kidding me?

6) DOGE claims that it saved $8 Billion in one contract, but actually it was only $8 Million. They were only off by around 100,000%. Remember Trump only hires the smart guys starting with Elon Musk. That’s why to this date the shares in Musk’s car company – Tesla, have now dropped 71% in value.

7) The Agriculture department tries to hire fired workers tied to the bird flu response. The bird flu was spreading, but Trump and Musk fire all the professionals that could handle bird flue issues. He fires all of the bird flue people in the middle of the bird flu, another super screwup. How cool was that!?</?:/

8) Then, after Trump decided to end the Free Covid Test Program, he reverses his decision just a day later. The tax payers bought all of these unused tests, and now Trump planned to incinerate the millions of tests. It would mean that if you wanted a test from that point on, instead of getting one that the taxpayers already paid for, you would have to deal out additional cash for a test.

9) Trump decides that the administration would end legal aid for migrant children. But then in just 24 hours, Trump reverses the decision. Trump realizes that it wouldn’t be possible to have migrant children appear in court without representation.

The administration has also again tried to take away lawyers to represent the migrant children and this is still a live issue.

10) Trump cuts the program that helped the 9/11 first responders. Trump couldn’t defend that action, so this decision gets reversed too.

11) Elon Musk sends out email to all Federal Government employees to respond to a questionnaire, and that if they didn’t respond, they would be fired.  The Federal agencies just ignored the email. Trump and Musk could not back the threat, and noone who didn’t comply got fired.

12) Regarding the VA, Trump cuts liberal WOKE programs like cancer treatment, and support for veterans with cancer and burial services for veterans. Imagine that. Trump cuts burial services for veterans. After so many people rejected this rule and file lawsuits, Trump reinstates the liberal programs that should have NEVER been cut. Real smart.

13) Elon Mush admits DOGE accidentally eliminated prevention measures combatting the Ebola virus.  Now that is real smart.

14) Trump reverses course after putting crisis hotlines on hold. In a quote from the Federal News Network…

 “Due to an administrative error, job offers for some Veterans Crisis Line positions that were scheduled to be filled later this month were mistakenly rescinded. This issue has been addressed and VA is in the process of reissuing these offers”

What kind of administrative error cuts the suicide hotline? This was another major screw up.

15) DOGE deletes hundreds more from list of savings.

“Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has deleted hundreds more claims from its mistake-plagued “wall of receipts”

per the New York Times. Continuing,

“Late Sunday night, the group erased or altered more than 1,000 contracts it had claimed to cancel, representing more than 40 percent of all the contracts listed on its site last week.”

16) Trump then abruptly walks back his directive to fire thousands of Federal Employees. Why would he fire them in the first place. Did he have a real reason to, except to want to save money to then be deferred to the wealthy in an upcoming tax cut”

“In a revised guidance issued to the heads of federal agencies, the Office of Personnel Management…tries to rewrite history by claiming it never actually ordered agencies to fire probationary employees” per the HuffPost.

17) The next day

“At 2 p.m. Tuesday, the General Services Administration posted a list of 443 properties it was considering for sale – an inventory that ranged from an El Paso toll booth to the Food and Drug Administration’s research campus in Silver Spring, Maryland”

according to Bloomberg reporting. And then the report continues…

”In the next five hours, more than 100 properties were removed from the catalog, including the agency headquarters of Agriculture, Health and Human Services, Justice, Labor and Veterans Affairs.” 

Now that was pretty smart, or shall I say pretty dumb. I guess we don’t need any of those agencies. But then the very next day, the entire list had been removed.

So did Donald Trump actually want to get rid of the headquarters of the Justice department, who knows. They put buildings up for sale, then they took the notices all down. Do we ever know what Donald Trump wants to do, other than to destroy the Federal Government? The Administration pretended it didn’t even happen. They didn’t answer any questions, and didn’t explain anything. But facts are facts and this crazy administration cannot deny them.

18) So then we get back to tariffs. In a Los Angeles Times headline

“In dizzying reversal, Trump pauses tariffs on some Mexican and Canadian products.“

19) Then Trump attacks social security by cutting phone services in a report in the Washington Post.

“Social Security scraps far-reaching cuts to phone services after Post report.”

20) How about this headline about social security, also in the Washington Post…

”More than 400 Social Security numbers, other private information revealed in JFK files.”

In that article it stated that

“The Social Security numbers and other private information of more than 400 former congressional staffers and others were made public Tuesday in the unreacted files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.”

President Trump ordered the release of this information. No other president before Trump thought it necessary to reveal social security numbers in JFK files. Just leave it up to Trump, all all will stay safe. Yea, if you believe that, think again. Imagine as a former Congressional staffer that you realize that your social security information was now ‘PUBLIC INFORMATION’. So what they had to do next was to find out who the living individuals were whose Social Security information was now public and issue them new Social Security numbers. That was easy for the government to do, but just think on the confusion now given to these people with new social security numbers and all the documents they needed to update with the new number. After this happened, there was absolutely no explanation given to the public. Their names, their place of birth, there birthdays and hundreds of unreacted social security numbers were now public.

21) How about this most recent issue. From an article in the Atlantic publican by Jeff Goldberg in late March,

“The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans.”

22) And another stellar late screwup.  This one was in NPR.

“Trump administration admits Maryland man sent to El Salvador prison by mistake.”

So what does the Trump administration do with the dictator of El Salvador in the White House? They say that because the Maryland man will have to stay there now because the United States has no jurisdiction in El Salvador, even if the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that the man must be brought back. It was stated in the meeting with the dictator that the Supreme Court ruled 0-9 that the Supreme Court favored the Trump administration. But obviously that was a lie. The vote was 9-0 against Trump. None of the migrants sent to El Salvador were given any rights before they were deported. Where was “Liberty and Justice for All” abided by in this country when that happened? It made no difference if they were illegal migrants or not, they deserved equal justice under the law. The government still hasn’t attempted to get the man back even after the judgement by the Supreme Court. So now thanks to Trump, we are in a Constitutional crisis. Oh, and wait another minute. It has beeen determined that there is a SECOND man that was sent to ElSalvador by mistake and Trump is doing nothing to try and get him back. The Justice Department’s response… “Oh well, it’s too late to get him back now, because we have no authority in a foreign land”.

I have been right about many things I’ve published on this website and mark my words, eventually someone will go to jail because more than one Federal judge in this country has cited CRIMINAL CONTEMPT against the Trump administration and who represents Trump, which means someone WILL go to jail if the issues is not resolved.  The Federal judges say if the Maryland man is returned to the United States from El Salvador, the criminal contempt charges would be expunged. Of course, because of Trumps immunity from the Supreme Court, he won’t be the one going to jail if someone has to. But whoever else was involved in sending the migrants to El Salvador, they are now facing jail time. It looks like Trump may have to find new attorneys. But never fear, Trump will get them out. He backs criminals and dictators.

23) Sticking to tariffs, in another headline in the Washington Post,

“Trump’s tariffs hit even remote islands. One is mainly home to penguins.”  I guess Trump wants penguins to pay tariffs.

Super cool. If not blood ‘from a turnip’ or ‘blood from a human’ then why not…’Blood from a penguin’? Right?  They should be tariffed too.

24) Then a BBC report

“‘We’ll make mistakes’” says RFK as fired US health staff were asked to return.

25) A few days lager in the Economic Times publication

“Economists reveal major Math blunder in Donald Trump’s tariff formula that inflates impact by 400%, could spark global trade chaos.”

26) Then in another Washington Post article,

“National Park Service restores Underground Railroad webpage after outcry.”

It was just another screwup. When the White House couldn’t defend it, they quietly undid it and never revealed that they made a mistake. So much for transparency.

27) Then…

“DOGE cuts at a Florida manatee refuge have been reversed – for now” also found in the Washington Post.

38) Then in the AP

“Trump administration says it cut funding to some life-saving UN food programs by mistake.”

That was just another screwup.

These announcements seem to be happen daily. The very next day after the administation claimed to cut funding to some life-saving UN food programs,

“Trump announces sudden reversal on tariffs, lowering most to 10% but hiking China’s to 125%.” 

But Trump warns his friends as he is even caught on camera advising his friends that he was going to reverse the tariffs, which would impact the stock markets and he and his friends could take advantage of the stock markets to make money. I think they call that ‘insider tradiing’, wouldn’t you think.

The mistakes this administration has made in less than 100 days is suffocating. Never before has an administration been so corrupt and unable to handle the duties they try to perform, but fail in every way because none of them are actually qualified in any way to serve. This administration is a joke. Of course Trump WILL NEVER take the blame for anything that goes wrong, but he will blame someone else, and then fire them claiming and take credit for fixing the problem. He says he will not fire Defense Secretary Hegseth, but Trust me, in due time he will, because he has to blame someone for recent WAR PLANS that were sent out on non-qualified government secured communication systems that were shared with a reporter that did not have any security clearance to know about the information he reported on, alerting the world that Trump screwed up again. Later it was proven that it was Hegseth himself who leaked the plans, Trumps own Defense Secretary, who now put thousands of people in harms way with his actions. Hegseth even sends a classified email to his own family bragging what the government was about to do.

29) Then there is the Harvard thing. A letter with accusations was sent to Harvard by mistake, so the Trump officials say, about their WOKE policies. Harvard sues the administration for the accusations, but then Trump immediately backs down just as he had with tariffs.

Trumps popularity since he because president is sinking like a rock. There is not even one poll, even on Fox news, where Trump is NOT under water. He is failing in EVERY regard as president. There are multiple demonstrations every week across the country by the American people revolting and now there is talk about Trump impeachment. Is anything going well for Trump. He brought this all up himself. If he thinks everything is going well now, he has to wait to see what happens when everything goes bad. Remember the 25th Amendment? There is now talk already, within the first 100 days of his presidency, of his upcoming impeachment.

30) Last but not least, as I’ve been explaining since he has been talking about tariffs, even before he put them in effect, that it would destroy our economy. Now, since he actually put them in effect, the economy is spiraling, the stock markets have lost trillions of dollars, people’s retirements are being savaged, and people are revolting. That’s only what has happened in the first three months of Trump’s presidency. The stock markets are extremely unstable, and it’s almost impossible to follow them on a daily basis.

Yes, democracy is being challenged here, by a confined autocrat that we now have in the Whitehouse. Even before Trump was elected for a second term, I warned about details found in ‘Project 2025’. Now a lot of what you find in that document is coming true.

What I’d hoped WOULD happen now according to Trump’s own statements while he was running for president, would be the end of the Ukraine/Russian war, no tax on tips, no taxes on Social Security and even the price of eggs would go down, as Trump promised the economy would get better. All of his promises were lies.  The Ukraine/Russian War is still rampant, even though he said he could end the war in his first day as president. Waiters and watresses are still paying taxes on tips they receive. Social security recipients still are taxed on their social security. Regardless, Trump always gets away with his dirty deeds because the Republican Congress backs him up all the way. As the saying goes, what goes up must come down. Another one that I say is that what Trump starts will also end. Unfortunately for Trump, all will not end well for Trump.

The mid-terms, if we ever make it there, will be an eye-opener for the Republicans. I foresee now that the House and Senate will be taken over by Democrats, and I go as far as stating that the next president will be a Democrat. Because of Trump’s actions and the actions by the Republican Congress, they will loose ALL control of government in 2026.

Then and only then can this country try and come back from a totally disasterous Trump 2nd term in office.
