REVIEW and ANNOUNCEMENTS
Dr. Jerry Goebel
After a humiliating birthday parade, President TACO flew to the G7 gathering in Canada, where he continued to embarrass the United States. Our best strategy for this administration continues to be to “Laugh at Them.” They hate that….

When is the best time to stand up to hatred and authoritarianism? Anytime is the right time. This Southern Gospel song is designed to inspire you to continue your efforts (or start them) to say, “Hands Off,” to this President and his puppet-masters.

‘You’re talking about a war criminal’: Trump slammed for calling Russian G7 expulsion a ‘mistake’
After his humiliating no-show of a birthday parade, President TACO flew to Canada to attend the G7, where he continued to embarrass the United States even more by begging for the reinstatement of Putin into the G7 (restoring it to the G8). Simultaneously, Putin was carrying out a heavy bombing campaign in Ukraine that included killing an American. Meanwhile, President TACO left the G7 early, to (supposedly) deal with the other authoritarian buddy he can’t control, Netanyahu, who is busy trying to start a world war with Iran. As The New Republic points out in a commentary this morning, let us hope that no “unexpected crisis” hits the US while Trump is president as he has so dismantled national and global assurances of safety.

Military parade and No Kings protests: a split-screen of a divided America
Frank Langfitt of NPR covered two parades that were barely an eleven-minute drive apart. One was the military birthday parade the authoritarian president threw for himself at the cost of tens of millions of taxpayer dollars. The other was one of hundreds of “No Kings” parades that took place across the county this week, this one in Annapolis. Langfitt says the twin events captured the feelings of the US at this time. Trump, the despot, barely able to garner a crowd—even while paying for it—and millions of US citizens across the country tired of his authoritarian actions. In between nodding off and looking petulant, President TACO could not hide his frustration that his parade didn’t turn out to be the shiny new toy he desired. He wanted something that would put him in the top tier of world autocrats, like leaders from Russia, China, and North Korea. Instead, he got a fizzling, sputtering, circus cementing his position as global laughingstock. As he flies into Canada for the G7 meetings this week, he goes in as a joke. A sad, pathetic joke who will work the crowd for grifting opportunities to cement his personal fortune and power.

Trump’s Un-American Parade
The writer of this article, T.H. Breen, is the author of several prize-winning books on the American Revolution. So it is no surprise that he compares President TACO’s demand for a military parade with Washington’s attempt to refuse one. None of us should be surprised—at this point—of President 47’s attempts to stroke his own pride, get others to bow down before him, or use the White House to grift his way to the billionaires’ club while bankrupting America (morally and financially), all while destroying the streets of Washington D.C. While dismantling support for veterans, this Chicken-in-Chief, who used all his connections to prevent serving the country, is spending tens of millions of dollars to honor… well, himself. It doesn’t get any more narcissistic than this… though I’m sure, as long as he’s around, we’ll see more idiocy.

Stephen Miller Triggers Los Angeles
As Nick Miroff, a staff writer at The Atlantic who covers immigration, the Department of Homeland Security, and the U.S.-Mexico border, points out, Los Angeles, specifically the liberal, upper-middle-class enclave of Santa Monica, is Stephen Miller’s hometown. Miroff points out that Miller is “described as the ‘architect’ of Trump’s immigration policy.” There is little doubt that Miller is willing to sacrifice anyone (including pregnant women and children with cancer) and anything (including Habeas Corpus and the Constitution) to make America hate immigrants as much as he does. What Albert Speer was to Hitler (chief architect of Hitler’s policies against the Jewish people), Miller is to Trump’s policies against immigrants. Perhaps when all this lunacy is over (and it will end), he will be tried for war crimes and/or treason. Hopefully, President TACO won’t be around that long, but we will have the founders of Project 2025 and Stephen Miller to hold accountable at some point. In the meantime, don’t give into their monologue of hatred and violence. Continue to be creative and nonviolent. Above all, practice the habit of humor; laugh at these people. Laugh, laugh, laugh at them; they hate that the most.

Stephen Miller can't make America white. LA is paying for his impotent rage
This Salon article by Amanda Marcotte reminds us of the vile work going on behind the scenes in the form of one, dark, unstable, deputy chief of staff, named Stephen Miller. It was Miller who set the unrealizable goal for ICE of 3,000 deportations a day. Miller is the racist behind many of the racist policies of this racist administration (did I say racist enough?) And yes, if you voted for 47 or stayed home and showed your support in that irresponsible manner, that makes you racist too. The authoritarian takeover we are seeing in LA is a precursor to the authoritarianism that Miller wants to see; that he is encouraging this administration to enact. If they get their OBBB, this takeover will be attempted in every major city with a Democratic mayor and every state with a Democratic Governor. What can we do? Resist peacefully, resist with creativity, resist with laughter. People like Miller and Trump do not get humor. Nothing drives a narcissist more crazy than being laughed at. So laugh, even when it hurts; especially when it hurts.
