PREFACE: (Or ''Mission Statement'' as they say nowadays)... You know, this entire destructive COUPany now ruining our country and others, must wake up EVERY morning wondering.... "let's see, what good thing can we destroy today?" One of the latest good things in place for years with plans for expansion that they are attacking is....now get this...BIKE LANES. Yep, MAGA has now declared war on the bicycle and their dedicated lanes along some highways which benefit both bicyclists and motorists alike and save lives and accidents. (My wife and I ride bicycles for excercise and ALWAYS wish we had a dedicated bike lane for some protection from the crazed, speeding road hogs around these parts) As the tRump regime now spews rhetoric suggesting that the bicycle is hopelessly, exclusively "leftist", it has begun revoking federal grants for what it is calling “D.E.I. bike lanes.” UNBELIEVABLE to any sane citizen with a bit of common sense but.... like so many other daily ruinations, it's where we are as a country now. Unless you watch FOX News exclusively ... I guess you have all heard that the U.S. debt has now crossed the $40 trillion threshold after already doubling under Trump. Stark warnings have been issued that a full-blown debt crisis could erupt unless lawmakers confront an unsustainable fiscal outlook and raise taxes, cut spending or both. But in the IMPeror's "kingdom" this fact is simply shrugged off l. The relative indifference to the news that the U.S. government now owes $40 trillion demonstrates how drastically the politics of deficit spending has changed since the Felonious COUPany took over. Isn't it a MAJOR irony that it's always the Republicans who claim to be fiscally responsible, yet the only three American presidents to ever fully balance the United States budget, largely by making the most wealthy pay a proportionately fair income tax, were ALL Democrats, Andrew Jackson (who also founded the modern Democratic party), Lyndon Johnson and Bill Clinton. That's the FACT of it and not the propagandized bull---- you hear spewed by Republicans every election. 
AND THEN ... The handpicked (scraped-up?) scum of Don-The-Con to head the FCC, Brendan Carr, has taken that institution to new levels of low in many directions. One of the lowest has been his continuing harassment of ABC, threatening it's affiliates very on-air existence by pulling their licenses, because the Führer doesn't like their programming, particularly Jimmie Kimmel who simply holds up a mirror to the IMPeror and his behavior nightly. Well thankfully ABC has not knuckled under but come back swinging instead. The network has filed suit asking a court to stop the agency from taking steps that could force ABC stations off the air and rightfully accused the F.C.C. of violating its First Amendment rights. Of course this will, no doubt, wind up eventually at the NONsupreme court where, there, it will automatically be decided in the Fuhrer's favor. As far as John Roberts and COUPany are concerned, there are no longer any first amendment rights if you oppose their PUPPETEER-In-Chief who, constitutionally, shouldn't have even been allowed on the ballot last term and wouldn't have been except for these capitulating INjustices. I think it is worth repeating that when Trump was surprisingly elected in 2016, I did NOT want him to fail, unlike the MAGA trolls who wished the worst for Biden. Like many of us who always saw through the reality show con man for what he actually was, it was unbelievable to many of us that this nation could actually elect such as our president. But after the shock sunk in, I hoped that somehow he would have some sort of epiphany and that the sanctity of the office itself would somehow reshape the man, instead of the other way round that actually happened. But, sadly and tragically it didn't take long before we realized that the "all show but no go" BS artist was actually bringing the WORST ever conduct to the office and it's been escalating even far worse than anyone could have ever imagined with every passing week. But I think what sickens me the worst, are the deranged sycophants, the Jesse Waters, Sean Hannitys and motormouth Bill O'Reillys of the propaganda world. These justifiers and enablers of the regime's inhumanity are themselves, the bottom dwelling scum of the humanity pool. These are the types that the Carr's current FCC regard as "operating in the best public interest" ... in the interest of his PUPPETEER-In-Chief he really means. As you probably heard, FOX News just recently got rid of one of their more popular propagandists, Maria Bartiromo in early September following reports that she shared confidential internal network communications with the White House. The bigger reason was that they feared another billion dollar suit for promoting unverified 2020 election claims on air. Well, at least THEY did SOMETHING in the public interest for a change. But, you know, its entirely possible that Brendan Carr and COUPany may just come after them for that move! And ... speaking of FOXNews and more news you won't hear/see there ... Let's talk briefly about Ron DeSantis. I know, that is, indeed a very distasteful subject but something here worth documenting. Has anyone ever considered for a moment that Ron DeSantis was anything other than another Trump-propping-leaning MAGA hypocrite? Not anyone with an ounce of sense, anyway. You don't have to examine him long to realize he is right there in the regime's ''Top 40'' of typical, GRIFTING, self-serving, crooked politicians. The latest evidence of this is the recent revelation that DeSantis’s administration “misappropriated” millions in taxpayer money by diverting it to the ''Hope Florida Foundation'', a charity tied to his wife, according to a leaked grand jury report.The stolen money was then quietly funnelled to political committees that were backing a campaign being led by the crooked Florida governor. Why of course ... what else would you expect? So, notch up another ''typical Republican score'' for another ''typical Republican'' politician. "AYE EYE... EYE EYE..." ("A - I - I - I" !) As I start to wind this one down (I know some of you are suffering from "reader fatigue" by now! 😉 ) I feel I MUST return, briefly, to the dubious world of A I (Artificial Intelligence) as it's "hits just keep on coming" as we used to say in radio (only these "hits" are in the literal sense and not so welcomed!). Yes, I know it has been proving handy in Google searches (if you are capable of the occasional need to read between the lines and/or "take it with a grain"). However, the evils are already, and have been for sometime, manifesting themselves throughout the A I world. One of the biggest problems currently is the "fake news" aspect that is proving to be particularly troublesome. This will add to the ongoing havoc exponentially as we approach the midterms, as we have talked about before. Just today, my wife began reading me a "news story" that turned up in her news feeds about multiple players being suspended from the Univeristy Of South Carolina (the REAL "USC" by the way) football team for various serious criminal activities. I told her that something just didn't sound right about all of this she was reading to me and, sure enough, at the bottom, in small print, there was an A I disclaimer that this was not a real story. It's just one of the many examples being put out there for click-bait. That's bad enough but some of them don't even bother with disclaimers or notices of A I content. And, as we have talked about before, YouTube is becoming impossibly difficult due to the influx of thousands of A I genrated accounts and videos. Never mind all the losses of jobs in the creative fields already ocurring by this new tool for the benefit of those in control. In an interview with The NY Times, Bill Gates sounded the alarm on artificial intelligence, warning that ''It poses a profound threat to jobs and human life.'' He said that addressing A.I.’s risks should be “the world’s top priority.” Gates left the legendary company he created in 2000, stepping away from day-to-day operations as CEO back in 2008. He then resigned from the board of directors in March 2020. Believe it or not, he no longer even owns any stock in his legacy corporation. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust sold its final shares of Microsoft stock, completely ending its decades-long financial position in the company. It is most ironic that his old company. Microsoft, now LEADS the current technology shift through Microsoft AI, an internal division focused on ''consumer products, enterprise intelligence, and foundation modeling''. Microsoft is also the leader in the widespread development of power-hungry, environment polluting data centers investing tens of billions of dollars to build a massive global network of advanced artificial intelligence data centers. The responsible creators of this advanced technology are ALL, without exception, trying to warn the apathetic public who are constantly being duped on the subject by a conservative ''sane washing'' media just as they are being eagerly duped about everything else going on in the real world by these purveyor of false reality corporate outlets- the TRUE ''FAKE NEWS'' which the Führer projects on the few who tell the TRUTH. Meanwhile, Nate Soares, president of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute warns that we're at the ''tipping point'' of A.I. He states that, “The type of A.I. that would pose a real extinction threat doesn’t exist yet, which means that we still have time to avoid disaster if we act fast. But leaders around the world must coordinate a global stop to the A.I. race.” So, do you think we have enough global competence in leadership to head this advice? Well, obviously, and most definitely, not anymore in the United States. I hate to think, yet I have to think daily, of the world our grandchildren will be inheriting. It TRULY IS a bleak forecast hastened by the rise of worldwide Authoritarian dominance in the ruling class, especially in the United States. Last year a reader asked me where I got my information from. This is why I began adding my news sources list at the bottom of my posts. One of my most trusted sources is The Guardian. The Guardian is the fifth most-read English-language news site in the world. Yet they are the ONLY outlet in the top 10 that is not:... Controlled by a dynasty Required to prioritize shareholder value over the public good Vulnerable to government funding cuts SUPPORT THE GUARDIAN I also, again, want to thank the FEW of you who have taken the time and generosity to make a small donation to this site. I, obviously, don't do this for profit (if I did I would have been gone long ago!😉 ) But, any little bit helps and really IS appreciated!  PLEASE VOTE TO THROTTLE THIS IN THE MIDTERMS! And don't just hope your vote gets counted ... PLAN TO ... SHOW UP AND SHOW OFF! It's not about ''POLICY'' ... It is about PEOPLE! From the ongoing sabotage the midterms department... The FELON-In-Chief removed the Election Assistance Commission's last three members, leaving the agency without commissioners just shortly before the upcoming 2026 midterm elections. The White House said the move is supported by a recent Supreme Court decision expanding the president's authority over independent agencies. There you go....the COUPany and it's NONsupreme court in further cahoots to rig the election results to mutual benefit. The midterms WILL be a catastrophic mess orchestrated by the regime and the Republicans who still prop them up...mark it down. Chaos WILL ensue, during and long after the election... COUNT ON IT! If you think they plan to go orderly and constitutionally, consider this ... “We cannot and will not allow them to take the majority in the Congress. We’re not gonna do it.” They will use every trick and tactic in the book and outside the book, both illegal and semi-legal ... anything to delay the swearing in of the newly elected. We have already seen examples of this from MAGA Mouse Mike before, remember? IT WILL BE WORSE THIS GO AROUND! So, as I have stated many times, SHOW UP AND SHOW OFF! There MUST be VISUALS...signs of protest outside the polls...along with organized and documented EXIT POLLS at EVERY location! Don't doubt they plan to sabotage it in NUMEROUS ways ... every way they possibly can! So...ORGANIZE THEN SHOW UP AND SHOW OFF! Let them know we are aware of their crooked plans in advance. And, let there be no way anyone could doubt which way the majority voted! As always, I THANK YOU for ''tuning in''! Hayne Davis PS- And as always, please overlook any remaining typos that I overlook even after mutiple proofreads. I OD TYR TO POOFRAED! 😉

August 29, 2026 Happy Birthday Maa - In Memory of Maggie Lee Franklin Davis 8-29-1916 - 5-27-2011 ''DaviSupplement - DaviStance'' ... DaviSupplement - You will recall that, in my ''DaviSpecial Announcement'' regarding cutting the regular schedule to just one edition per month, on the 15th, I also added that I would SOMETIMES add an extra, supplemental, edition if the situation(s) required. Well ... this is one of those ''DaviSituations''. I have so many notes, from so much ongoing IDIOCRACY, that I felt I just HAD to go ahead and insert another post right here midway between the regularly scheduled dates. The whole idea behind this little site of mine was to try and keep a running documentaion of MOST (I could never keep up with ALL) of the ongoing atrocities that ''flood the zone'' daily. Therefore, in this case, I felt it necessary to document this latest deluge before they are all swept aside to make way for yet another oncoming deluge! So ... if you came here looking for the AUGUST 15th edition and have not seen it yet, then please scroll just below this posting, after you have read this one, for the regular 8-15 edition. That one was QUITE an edition and, to quote one regular reader after he read it - ''WHEW''!, I would NOT want you to miss that one either! DaviStance - I don't like labels ... never have. Stereotyping...pigeonholing ... something I have had to deal with all my life from writing and producing music, to programming radio, to designing pro audio equipment. Everybody seems to need to jam you into a box...and stick on a niche label that makes it convenient for them to size you up or squeeze you into THEIR little narrow perception of the world. I've always been a unique, independent INDIVIDUAL, proud of it, and God help anybody who ever tries to restrictively characterize me! I've never felt the need to ''fit in with the crowd'', to "go along to get along", or adjust to somebody else's requirements for what they think is 'cool', or 'correct', by their standards. So, not much would disgust me more these days than somebody trying to slap a political label on me. Most likely there isn't any existing political categories that I would fit into exclusively anyway and I suspect there are quite a few of you who feel the same way nowadays. Yet, labeling is exactly the tactic we'll be facing from the MAGA Republicans as we head into the midterms. The particular false label they've now decided to hang on anyone who doesn't support their COUPany of crooked Republican politicians is "communist". That's right, believe it or not, they're now desperately reaching backwards for that old McCarthyism playbook (the same way they want to take us backwards in every other regard) ! "Communist" ... Quite an irony since most of them don't even know the correct definition and are, themselves, the very ones supporting and enabling a VERY "communist-like" ruling regime currently controlling this country with its dictator-like IMPeror at the head! But these people are full of irony....along with something else I will refrain from mentioning! So get ready to constantly hear the "Communist" battle cry ( along with ''Radical Leftist Socialist'' etc) hurled at the Democrats by the MAGAs throughout the election cycle since they have nothing else to offer, certainly nothing constructive. Same old Modus Operandi ... nothing but lame name calling, projection and hate mongering. Any reasonable person will know that not all left-leaning voters support ALL the extreme, or so-called ''radical'' views of the far left fringe. And while SOME few of those far left extremists views ARE indeed radical, some nonsensical, and a couple of them downright dangerous, keep in mind they are very MINORITY views and, as untasteful as they may be, do NOT necessarily fit the ''communist'' definition. Even the ''Democrat Socialist" label, albeit often misunderstood, certainly DOES NOT in any way, encompass the Democratic Party as a whole although the MAGAs will certainly imply that it does! Shallow conservative voters have consistently bought into the longtime propagandized stereotype of Democrats as being somehow ''evil and Godless'' extremists who want to control them through government. Hummmm... REALLY sounds very much like the MAGA COUPany regime we're living under now doesn't it? ''Today's Republicans are so addicted to toxicity ... that their previous limited-government principles ... that government should stay out of your bedroom, the classroom and most of your life ... are now exclusively Democratic principles.” - NY Times Writer Well, if you can come up with a label that exactly fits someone who supports the following then slap it on me ... Number One- Term limits for ALL politicians ... THEN ... Universal healthcare for the entire population, period ... A fair minimum wage for all workers.... Exclusive adaptation of valid clean energy technologies ... Limiting political donations, spending and advertising ... putting REAL science back in the forefront ... Doing away with the corporate lobby ... Stopping support for Israel and all needless wars and aggression ... Treating ALL American citizens as equals... Restoring a fair and impartial Supreme Court with accountability and term limits for justices... Emphasizing intelligence, character and dignity requirements for politicians ... Ending the ridiculous electoral college system and adapting the popular vote exclusively for all elections ... Eliminating presidential pardons ... Restoring the balance of power and full adherence to our constitution in general ... Allowing women the unlimited right to ALL decisions about their own bodies ... Limiting presidential executive orders ... Taking our crumbling infrastructure seriously and prioritizing its repair and upgrade ... Keeping religion COMPLETELY OUT of government and maintaining separation of church and state as the founding fathers intended... Keeping government OUT of individuals' sexual choices and freedoms at all levels ... and holding lawbreakers in ALL areas of politics directly accountable while in and out of office ... So find a label to encompass these major priorities of my political preferences, THEN....and only THEN ... can you stick that label on me! Otherwise keep your slack minded labeling to yourself! Do I want to ''defund the police'' per the propagandized stereotype? Of course not! Just the opposite! Do I want to defund the ICE Gestapo? Most definitely. Do I want to ''take away your guns" as per the propagandized stereotype? Of course not. And I will always keep my own collection oiled and ready... However, do I want in depth background checks for gun buyers and the elimination of assault weapons from the hands of the public? Most definitely.
Georgia Senate candidate, Jon Ossoff is my "new Graham Platner" ... meaning my latest/ best hope for the Democratic party and the country! Let's hope the Democrat demagogues don't somehow ruin this one. We know damn well that the Republicans will be trying to because this guy has their number like no one else I have seen go public in years! He already has sicko sycophant Bill O'Reilly foaming at the mouth! 
Here is a clip of one of Jon Ossoff's latest speeches (the one in Atlanta that had the MAGAS all quaking in their boots). If you want to see what I mean, and haven't seen it so far, here is a link. This guy "brings the receipts" and lays the undeniable facts at the feet of all Republican deniers. It's the best "lay it all on the line" speech I have heard in a long, LONG time!
If Georgians prove stupid enough to let this gem get away and vote in his opponent, just another ''cookie-cutter'' inept, corrupt MAGA Trumpist, then, in that case, I hope Ossoff would run for President in '28! In fact, I already wish he were running for President instead of the senate! We desperately NEED this guy in Washington in some capacity as soon as possible! Jon Ossoff Recent Atlanta Speech And speaking of senate candidates ... As expected, Lindsey Graham's sister won the Republican primary for the nomination to fill her brother's senate seat. Of course, this election was for the lesser of two evils if, indeed, there was a ''lesser'' in this case. From Meg Kinnard/Associated Press ... ‘I’m Not That Informed on National Security,’ Graham Says in South Carolina Debate The awkward moment, which prompted boos from the audience, underscored Senator Darline Graham’s biggest vulnerability in the race to succeed her brother, the late Lindsey Graham. Well, since she is a ''Trumpist'', there is no doubt that she is ''not that informed'' when it comes to a whole LOT of things or she wouldn't be a ''Trumpist'' to begin with! After all, her IMPeror, who endorsed her, is also not that informed about ''National Security'' either or about most of the other things involved with the job he is supposed to be doing. But, let's give her some credit after all. At least, for a change, we have a Republican admitting a fault and telling the truth at the same time ... I can't recall a time when I last experienced either one of those traits from a Republlican politician let alone both simultaneously! And speaking of being ''uninformed'' ... I watched a YouTube video of interviews with people who attended the Führer's recent rally in Myrtle Beach, and I have to say I am ashamed to be in the same state with such characters! These people, which they interviewed on their way into the convention center, are truly pathetic and to be pitied with their mental challenges. If I hadn't known better, I would have thought I was watching an SNL skit, their comments and ''reasonings'' were so far out there! But, the reality of it is ... it is WE who should be pitied ... because these people VOTE! The more I see around me, the more I realize that the one-third of American voters, who still support this MAGA madness, must be almost entirely made up of my fellow South Carolinians! You know, we repeat this stuff over and over so much that it soon becomes ... what's the point? We KNOW that everything the LIAR-In-Chief says cannot be in any way trusted or taken seriously. We get sick of the same old ''blame game'', you know, like the damage to the place where his own motorcade drove through the reflection pool since he was too lazy (or sick) to just walk up and take a look ... and where his no bid contractor donator (briber) had botched it up, is STILL being blamed on a 67 year old former U.S. Olympian who just stopped to take a look (supposedly ripping it up with his bare hands in just a few seconds ...or, the other lie, vandals with a box cutter put a 350 foot rip in it, take your pick). Or, how about ...the grass damage where his July 4th stage sat blocking the sun was also caused by ''vandals''. It's always somebody else. BLAME ANYTHING/ANYBODY except accepting the faults, apologizing for them and correcting them. The IMPeror has NEVER made a mistake. So why do we keep on mentioning any of this? We always KNOW that the outcome is ALWAYS going to be the same-old, same-old. SO WHY keep on going over the same old, same old ... different day/same old story ... WE DO IT BECAUSE IT MUST be chronicled and documented. We need to have REALITY and TRUTH correctly documented to counter the lies and the propaganda that is constantly being spewed on a daily basis! So ... MAGA Republicans (any who may have ''accidentally found their way here) ... I just MUST ask you ... how long would you tolerate the ''friendship'' of a narciscistic moron who is constantly heaping praise on himself and, with every subject you brought up, he would reply that he ''knows more about it than anybody else'' while, in reality, the only thing he knows is how to con and cheat his way through life? How many braggart, self-centered, bullying, attention demanding friends do you have like this in your own circle? None, you answer? Then why do you continue to tolerate this pathetic embicile that you worship as your ''leader'' and perpetually make excuses for him and his entire cabinet of similar societal misfits? How? Why? I really, truly would like to know how it is still possible that this COUPany STILL has an over 30% approval rating (and, as I have just said, from what I see around me, MOST of this 30% plus must be right here in my home state of South Carolina!). From the ''Follow-Up'' department ... Last time I talked about how Rand Paul and the rest of the ''dirty dozens'' on the Republican side of Congress decided to invest your tax dollars on more persecution of Dr. Anthony Fauci. That's some REAL PRIORITY for the attention of Congress right now while we have an illegal, costly war going on and the infrastructure of our entire country is falling apart all around us (BTW, as I have said before, my home state of South Carolina, which was, once upon a time, known for some of the BEST roads and highways in the world back in the days of my youth, NOW ''proudly boasts'' the WORST roads and highways in the free world thanks to the perpetually ruling, incompetent Republicans! It is hard to fathom just how many times we have had our just-aligned front-ends knocked out instantly by a series of unavaidable potholes, some a yard wide and nearly as deep, on major roads! I drove across the state line from NC to SC on a little road trip through the mountains the other day with my wife and she didn't even look up from her phone GPS at the ''Welcome To South Carolina'' sign before she said ''guess we just crossed into South Carolina''. The car had gone from coasting smoothly along the NC stretch of road to literally bouncing like an old horse-drawn ''buck-board'' on the worst stretch of, supposedly ''paved'', road I think I have encountered yet in my entire lifetime - and that is saying something around here these days as they ALL are in terrible shape [unless you happen to live in the neighborhood of a politician, perhaps] !) ... our healthcare system is so badly broken that one dose of a life-saving drug cost more than your hundred thousand dollar house, the deregulated utility companies continue to raise rates faster than they can print their bills, the oil companies enjoy record profits as their retail prices soar to all-time highs, and the corrrupt, destructive regime in charge of things just keeps on pouring the tax dollars down the drain for more of the EMBICILE-In-Chief's vanity projects and revenge activities, to name just a few of the destructive atrocities ocurring daily! And so, the Congress decides that the thing to do now is to just go after Dr. Fauci again as their priority ''concern''. So, how did that turn out? Just as you knew it would. The Senate committee voted to hold Dr. Fauci ''in contempt'' for repeatedly invoking his 5th Amendment right during the farcial ''COVID hearing''. The vote, quite naturally right along party lines, allows the Homeland Security Committee to refer Dr. Anthony Fauci to the corrupt, INJustice Department for ''prosecution'' (AKA PERSECUTION!). Well my honored congratulations to Dr. Fauci... All loyal, honest, truly patriotic Americans should also be ''in contempt'' of this corrupt charade of a Congress! I certainly am CONSTANTLY in contempt of this most contemptible bunch of grandstanding hypocrites! So PLEASE count me in as well, for whatever it's worth! But, little by very little, we detect some slight ''shifts in the wind'' with some long-time Republican supporters wising up and starting to resist a bit. For one not-so-minor example, Ronald Lauder, the billionaire cosmetics heir and philanthropist, has always been something like a one-man bank for Republicans in his home state of New York. Now, in the middle of a midterm election year, he appears to have abruptly closed his political checkbook. Well good for him. More lifelong, honest Republicans should wise up and stand up! The consequences of Mr. Lauder's change of heart could have quite an impact on New York and beyond. More from the misplaced priorities department - When we continually ask ourselves how can anyone still not see the atrocities of this regime and be as appalled as we are... We have to realize that there is a fairly large subset of self-centered people who, whether secretly or openly, actually ADMIRE and RESPECT all this corruption. They think it's "cool" that the FELON-In-Chief and his gang are destroying the system. They admire and applaud the way their IMPeror has made billions through selling out the presidency and robbing the taxpayers. Most of all, I think, they feel empowered by his hateful, abusive and crude behavior since it's on their own level. They embellish the cruelty and the destruction since they thrive on the chaos and the culture wars... it's their own private WWE and UFC ... it's the level of mentality they are confined to. Some of the other extreme right-wingers, those who possess a "smidget" of intelligence, have grown up entrenched with, and unalterably believing in, all the propagandized myths about the liberals so deeply that they identify with ANY kind of attack against "the libs". So, they also excuse, and even feel empowered by, their leader's constant attacks and vulgarisms. They think it makes them "own the libs" as they get off on saying. It seems that stupidity, crudeness, profitability ("grift-ability") and bull---- are the new norms for "qualities" in a leader for this group of vengeance minded "conservatives". In the case of their IMBECILE-In-Chief, their norm is now obvious full blown, demented derangement! Never mind the destruction of our constitution as well as the logical and time-honored principles that have long been the national standards that we aspire to and which other nations once admired and respected. ''I wonder if we will ever be able to get out from under the weight of the shame that Donald Trump and the Republicans have heaped upon us.'' - Mary TrumpSo, MAGA .... you actually admire a ''president'' (Führer) who incessantly belittles and insults people, especially insulting women, calling them obscene names to their face, including ''piggy'' ... and you are okay with that ... even ''admire'' it? I guess so , if you're in that 30% who are STILL okay with every other atrocity from rape, to insurrection, to treason, to reckless destruction, even to murder then, why not insults? (YES! Your FELON-In-Chief shoulders the blame for the numerous, outright murders by his ICE Gestapo and the boat strikes in the Carribean as well as the innocent girls' school in Iran...to name just some...not a bad record so far, HUH ''pro-lifers''?) It is also worth noting that his favorite ''targets'' are always WOMEN! You don't typically seeing him looking a male reporter in the face and insulting him (perhaps he dodges men as the coward he truly is or, perhaps, in this case that's just because the male reporters don't have the same courage as the females to ask him tough questions). Regardless, it is clear that he has no respect for strong, independent women. Actually, I think he is basically just SCARED of them and all he knows to do is go ''third grade playground bully'' on them. Jamelle Bouie, NY Times Opinion columnist- Trump is consumed by this lust for revenge. AS I approach the close of this edition, I have a couple of special emails I would like to share with you since both are worthy of your consideration for support in these dangerous times we are now in.
This is one of the most AWARE, and most IMPORTANT, writings that I have read in quite some time. AWARENESS is so DESPERATELY needed NOW in this world overrun with unaware, apathetic, normalizing myopics. Please do all you can to help stimulate the awareness of, and resistance to, this Authoritarian madness that has now engulfed us all, ruining our country, and which will only worsen exponentially if we don't rise up and put a STOP to it! And ... here is yet another most worthy appeal ... A billion-dollar hit to our industry is enough to make any Chief Financial Officer sweat. And that's exactly what happened to public media one year ago today, when Congress voted to eliminate federal funding. PLEASE VOTE TO THROTTLE THIS IN THE MIDTERMS! And don't just hope your vote gets counted ... PLAN TO ... SHOW UP AND SHOW OFF! It's not about ''POLICY'' ... It is about PEOPLE! SO ... what is YOUR stance? Watever label you choose to place upon yourself, it is time for you to take a STAND AGAINST this ever-increasing, authoritarian fascism mess that we are all suffering with! If you are an HONEST, TRULY patriotic American, then NOW is the time to STAND UP AND STAND AGAINST this COUPany in its entirety and VOTE THEM ALL OUT! Don't let them intimidate you from voting this midterm regardless of their underhanded tactics ... plan to SHOW UP AND SHOW OFF! Remember, we need to organize ... we need documented EXIT POLLS at every location ... we need to carry protest signs as we gather in numbers visibly so large there can be no doubt, whatsoever, as to what the majority of voters is demanding ... and that is a most definite END to the treasonous regime now controlling our country! REALLY celebrate America's 250th anniversary this fall by taking a stand for democracy and put country over party as George Washington reminded during his first presidency. FORGET LABELS! Think PEOPLE over POLICY! Let them know that you are stronger than they are and that, united together, we WILL take our country back from the thieving regime and we WILL restore our democracy and ... Let's reform MAGA to mean ... Make America GOOD Again! Thank you for ''tuning in''!

August 15, 2026 ''DaviSuspicious'' ? ... Am I ''suspicious'' of every decision/announcement that comes out of the current, dangerous killer-clown show in Washington? Most definitely, YES I am ... and who in their right mind, who is paying any attention at all, wouldn't be? SUSPICIOUS of Don-The-Con? As I have said many times ... the only truthful statement I can recall the LIAR-in-chief ever making was his assertion that he could murder someone on Pennsylvania Avenue and his base would be fine with it. He's been getting away with murdering the constitution and the country ever since. I have also said many times that if this corrupt and unqualified bunch is allowed to stand ''as-is'' by a further corrupt and negligent, ''do-nothing'' (but sit back, grift along and get paid) Congress, then we won't recognize our destroyed country and government after four years. Unfortunately, it is escalating far quicker than any of us could have EVER imagined! LATEST EXAMPLES- When it comes to ''green energy'', the only ''green'' the MAGA Republicans are after is more of that bribery money in their pockets! The only ''wind energy'' they understand is that ''hot air'' that they blow out of their mouths when asked a serious question (or perhaps that which emanates from the lower part of their anatomy). 155 wind projects in Texas, Colorado and Washington have been ''put on hold'' because the Hegseth Pentagon claims that their turbines could interfere with military radar causing missles to be ''harder to detect''. For about a year now, hundreds of invested wind energy projects all across the country have been unable to break ground only because of this specific bit of federal resistance. Under the Chump regime, the permitting process has quietly stopped moving. Oh my ... I wonder why? At a time when electrical energy is at an all-time premium and new, clean sources are desparately needed, another 44 gigawatts plus of potential new, clean capacity has been killed by the regime. The ''excuse'' this time is passed to, and by, the Pentagon to claim that there may be ''emerging drone threats near military systems''. Huh? Say what? (This ''freeze'' has been going on for much longer than the needless Iran war BTW!) 
Meanwhile, wind developers reveal that this delay is costing them billions. Most knowledgeable engineers debate whether this is a legitimate ''national security issue'' or something else entirely. Well, I will leave it to your common sense...you can bet that it is ''something else entirely'', like everything else with the corrupt regime (in this case, the LIAR-In-Chief's distaste for windmills and clean energy in general)!
The IMPeror's puppet Fox News Host Hegseth run Pentagon claims this is just a ''delay'' and not a ''rule change'' so, that being the case, it requires NONE OF THE TRANSPARENCY that formal rulemaking requires. These ''FOX newsers'' in the ''hen house'' can be quite clever at times can't they? They have a ''shred'' of legitimacy to stand on here in that turbine blades, under rare and unique circumstances can create what they label as ''blade flash'' on radar screens that some claim can be hard to distinguish from an aircraft. Hummm. Well if our radar detectors are that flawed that they can't distinguish an occasional radar noise spike from an incoming missle or aircraft, then we had better be asking for our change back from their multi-billion dollar purchase contracts! And, if our military radar operators are that inept (which I believe they are NOT- but, of course, with Hegseth firing or demoting everybody ........???), then God help us anyway! If this is a real concern, any unsophisticated radar systems that might happen to be in the proximity of a wind farm could swiftly and EASILY be upgraded (if indeed actually and legitimately required) to filter out distinct wind turbine signatures so that capable operators would not see them in their ''clutter''. Pardon the pun and cliche' but this is not really ''rocket science'' here! We know EXACTLY what is going on here and so does the wind industry and it's responsible investors (and you don't need ''radar assistance'' to figure it out)! Meanwhile ... further along the clean energy destruction road ... The EPA (Now known as the Environment Polluting Agency!) has just announced that it will EXEMPT data center power plants from existing pollution limits! The regime recently announced that it is exempting power plants that serve data centers from existing regulations and clarified that they no longer have to be part of the Clean Air Act Acid Rain Program. Well ... why not? We certainly couldn't have them be required to supply their OWN CLEAN power via their OWN offgrid solar/battery systems, now more energy efficient and cost effective than ever, now could we? Certainly not under this disgustingly oily/greasy/dirty Authoritarian regime! The regime's ''solution'' IS to make A.I. companies build or buy their own energy infrastructure, BUT...instead of requiring renewables, their ''oily'' plan plan has had a much different effect according to various news reports. It’s driving a nationwide boom in gas-burning power plants with at least 82 new gas-burning plants being built, or planned, according to the Environmental Integrity Project, a nonpartisan research organization. They’re easy to get up and running, and they’re making them cheap with oil company kick-backs and subsidies, especially in fossil-fuel-friendly places like Texas, which will soon overtake Virginia as the world’s largest data center market if all goes as planned. Texas has been particularly aggressive in approving on-site power plants at data centers, fast-tracking permits with little public announcement, scrutiny or oversight. The competition for gas power is now so fierce that Elon Musk just bought a company specializing in rapid-deployment gas and diesel turbines. If built as planned, these plants would spew as much planet-warming carbon dioxide in a year as roughly half of all the passenger vehicles in the country! Score another hit for the MAGA IMPeror's anti-environmental policies! Amazon’s new 7.65GW Texas AI data center power plant, alone, could become the largest source of CO2 pollution in the US! Their custom 35 turbine gas plant has been authorized to emit 33 million tons of annual greenhouse gases! This new Amazon data center is set to become the single largest source of environmental pollution in the U.S., according to a New York Times report on August 8. The tech giant — which already operates the most data centers worldwide — is reportedly building a natural gas power plant in Pecos County, Texas, to power its new data center at the same site. According to project permits, the plant would generate up to 7.65 gigawatts of power using 35 natural gas turbines. The new plant — which burns natural gas to generate electricity — has been authorized to release 33 million tons of CO2 annually, more planet-warming gases than any other power plant in the country, says the NY Times report. Conversely, Amazon had once pledged to achieve net-zero carbon emissions across all its global business operations by 2040. The company made the promise in 2019 when it initiated and co-founded The Climate Pledge — a voluntary coalition of over 700 companies and partners — aimed at addressing its own corporate footprint and that of other global supply chains. However, the company has seen its emissions rise each year for the past several years, something analysts attribute to a spike in data centers to support the AI boom. The company is currently building several additional AI data centers globally, including the one that the new gas plant would power in Texas. Amazon is aware the impact of its earlier climate pledges but, when confronted about these prior pledges, Margaret Callahan, an Amazon spokeswoman said “The world looks different now than when we co-founded the climate pledge” . You can say that again. It looks a hell of a lot worse especially in terms of environmental pollution and its warming effect! You're now, also, wallowing in bed with the most corrupt, and self-serving, political machine of all time and this new authoritarian regime has given all of you the ''green light'' to put the ''red light'' on green energy in all its forms! Yet, at the same time, ''more power to you'' when it comes to gas and diesel turbines! How do you spell ''CORRUPT''? ... ''M-A-G-A-G-O-P''! I have NEVER been a fan of the Amazon outfit and it's multi-billionaire owner, ''Bozo Bezos''. I have NEVER ordered anything from Amazon (and I'm real sure that Bezos lies awake at night worrying about that!) as I just cannot bring myself to contribute even one of my meager dimes to an organization, and its head, that goes against every principle I stand for ...from the way it treats its employees and the environment to the philosophy of its greed mongering owner. As I have pointed out many times, I am just anti-hypocritical by nature. In the other ''mega-giant corporate direction'', let's give some credit where it is due. While, so far, not generating much renewable enegy on its own (albeit some centers are solar powered on site) Google does match 100% of its annual global electricity use with purchases of renewable energy like wind and solar. However, it is not yet quite powered by renewables every single hour of the day. But, I believe Google's commitment when they announce that their next big goal is to run entirely on carbon-free energy, on every local power grid, around the clock. Google is currently working, 24-7, on preparations to utilize the latest advanced batteries and geothermal energy, to make sure clean energy is available every hour of the day in the near future. So, let's at least give one giant ''powerhouse'' (pun optional) that due credit! THEN ... One of the latest jokes is the ban by the FCC, (headed by the most sickenly and blatantly corrupt puppet-head to ever come down the Trump controlled pike), of solar inverters manufactured in China. The bogus idea here is that China is chomping at the bits to corrupt our power grid and MUST do it via grid connected SOLAR INVERTERS exclusively! Does anyone really believe that China couldn't hack our grid anytime they wanted to by more ''logical'' and strategic means than back feeding corrupt software through a power inverter? Well, if you believe they can/would operate on that level then you had better ban EVERY CHINESE DEVICE IN EXISTANCE THAT PLUGS INTO YOUR WALL OUTLET! Toss out your smart TVs, your Internet routers, and ESPECIALLY your Trump phone chargers (proven to be actually made in China!)! I assure you that it is no coincidence that this hardware blockade just happens to come at a time when the developing solar industry announced plans to connect around 60,000 MW of new solar farms with battery storage over the coming year. The result of all this will be a huge, immediate equipment shortage which will naturally delay all pending clean solar energy projects. Data from the Department of Energy reveals that American inverter manufacturers can only supply 7% ... that's right just seven percent ... of the current United States solar industry demand. This, of course, leads to a 93% deficit that cannot be filled by domestic manufacturers! Without fresh FCC grants for certified inverters, fully built solar farms will just have sit unconnected to the grid at a time when they are needed more than ever ... just exactly what this dark regime and it's oil/gas/coal lobbyists have planned for since ''Project 25'' was on the drawing board! THE REGIME'S MODUS OPERANDI ... DEREGULATE everything in their billionaire donors' and corporate lobby's interests ...then REGULATE the hell out of anything that would legitimately benefit the citizenry and the environment! Alex Kent of The New York Times has reported that the corrupt officials of the Chump regime admit to canceling grants to states that did not vote for Trump! That should offend EVERYBODY including the ''red states'' who got their funding. But will it? I certainly doubt it. More likely they will applaud it in typical gloating, MAGA Republican fashion. Recent court documents reveal that the regime halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states ... “based solely” on whether they backed President Trump in the 2024 election! You can further bet that ANY AND EVERYTHING coming out of this unprecedented, ultra-corrupt regime is distributed/decided soley on that basis ... whether it be entitlements, rewards or, as in this case, REVENGE! To further add insult to injury ... As of this writing well ahead of publication (August 2, 2026) the FELON-In-Chief just ordered that Medicare Part D subsidy program, the prescription drug program that helps senior citizens with America's uniquely outrageous prescription drug costs, BE ABOLISHED! Well, so much for Grandma in the nursing home ... she probably doesn't vote anyway. When I gave my wife this news about the abolishment of the Medicare Part D subsidy program, she asked, ''How in hell can Trump just do all of this destruction on his own?''. That's the question of the decade! Why hasn't some mechanism been put in place, or acted on if there is one, to stop this deranged, careless, impulsive and demented IDIOT-In-Chief? We know we have a dangerously complacent Republican Congress now in control and a mockery of a NONsupreme court totally complicit with their annointed Führer (but history WILL someday correctly judge these ''judges''!). So, apparently, that's all there is to it. CAN"T SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING? Aparrently not. Now, lest I be accused of ''overstating'' here ... let me clarify that this was a ''sub-section'' of the Part D program, and NOT the entire program which couldn't legally be shut down without Congressional approval (that ''legally'' stipulation hasn't stopped the IMPeror from doing anything else he wants, however, including ILLEGALLY declaring a war with Iran without Congressional approval!). A temporary financial support measure created under the Biden administration, it provided roughly $5 billion annually ($9.8 billion across 2025 and 2026) to subsidize standalone Part D plans and keep senior premiums low. Now, an estimated 25 million seniors enrolled in standalone Part D plans WILL face higher monthly costs. According to an administration official cited by the Wall Street Journal, roughly 45% of enrollees will see monthly increases ranging from $11 to $20 in 2027. Then, of course, it's ALWAYS the drug prices themselves we have to worry about. Total monthly premium increases cannot spike completely out of control, as provisions within Biden's Inflation Reduction Act still legally cap base beneficiary premium increases at 6% annually through 2029 (that ''built-in inflation'' is bad enough in itself, though!). Unless the IDIOCRACY'S hatchet men, such as Don-The-Con's puppet head at the CMS, Dr. Oz, (yes...DR. OZ ... it is STILL hard to wrap your head around the fact of all the ''loons'' that the LOON-In-Chief has placed in charge of everything!), along with the SNEAKER/SQUEAKER of the House, MAGA Mike, can figure a way to throw more benefits out the back door by sneaking it through on the coat tail of some other sneaky, midnight legislation. Be assured that they will be working on it just as MAGA Mike plans to attack America's Social Security program in 2027 which he labels as ''entitlement''! What we REALLY need to do is throw the whole self-serving, boot-licking Congress out the back door and replace it with one that would stabilize Social Security permanently and then prioritize universal healthcare! From the misguided/misplaced priorities and wasted time/funds department ... that which always dominates this Republican congress... Now, Rand Paul and his worthless cohorts decide to persecute Anthony Fauci again for his role in trying to tell the facts, and nothing but the facts, about the Corona virus years back (Thank God we did, at least, have Fauci in those days instead of the likes of Dr. Oz!). Terrific timing there, Paul... We're on the brink of WWIII because of your Felon-In-Chief... your leader has gutted DC for half finished, half baked vanity projects and has literally poured millions down the drain in the process ... your billions funded, ICE Gestapo continues to indiscriminately murder citizens in their home streets ... diseases and once eliminated viruses are running rampant due to your Fuhrer's destruction and defunding of all the protection agencies and scientific research centers now staffed with ass kissing quacks and clowns ... deliberately unregulated AI data centers, by you and your cohorts threaten society and the environment as well the power grid ... infrastructure across the country continues to crumble because Biden's planned construction projects were scrapped and funding redirected to the IMPeror's revenge priorities ... pardoned criminals roam the streets looking for more crimes to commit and be further excused by your IMPeror and his pocketed NONsupreme Court ... your LIAR -In-Chief has stolen more taxpayer funds and profited by more illegal grifts since returning to the desecrated and defamed ''people's house'' than any other in presidential history by the magnitudes ... he and his mega donor cronies are knee deep in the Epstein files which are buried by his faux INjustice department ... ... ... so ... instead of pursuing any of these and the daily dozens of other ongoing atrocities, you and your colleagues decide that NOW is the time, and the PRIORITY, to once again drag in Anthony Fauci to persecute him just for your sick, political theater, again all at taxpayer expense! Rachel Maddow just did a beautiful commentary on how "bills come due" in this lifetime. I only hope that all of us live to see you and your corrupt colleagues forced to pay YOUR accountability debts and learn cause and effect consequences firsthand in the most painful way possible! Where Did Our Money Go? As regular readers know, the brilliant YouTuber, ''Politics Girl'' has long been one of my favorites. She can just lay it out like nobody else! I have wanted to do a summation on the costs of this crooked, exclusively grifting regime for some time. However, I will now just defer and point you to this YouTube video instead. NOBODY, let alone me, could sum the situation up better than this! This is one that should be FORCE FED to every banner waving, excuse offering, faux justifying, fact ignoring, myth believing Republican out there....if you know any, PLEASE share this video with them. It should be required viewing for EVERY American right now and, especially for REPUBLICANS. Of course most of them will NOT watch anything as soon as they realize it is a critique of ''their side''...that old '' don't bother me with the facts my mind is made up'' Republican syndrome. BUT...send it to them anyway...tell them they need to see it to save their own assets (or ASSES) .... tell them WHATEVER you can think of to get them to watch it. Although doubtful, maybe, just maybe, you can cause one or two of them to actually become reasonable thinkers. This video is that powerful! POLITICS GIRL- WHERE DID OUR MONEY GO? The NY Times Reports- Measles Cases Hit New Record in U.S. as Vaccination Rates Wane ''The United States has now recorded more cases of measles in 2026 than in any other year since the virus was declared eliminated in 2000, a grim sign the U.S. may enter a new era with the disease''. Wow, what understated reporting! ''May enter''? I'd say with a record number of cases already established that the ''new era'' is already here! It is ushered in by the ''new era'' of IGNORANCE and INCOMPETENCE in our ''government'' ... particularly, in this case, the so-called Department Of Health and Human Services (HHS) and its hand-picked, brain-wormed, leader Robert Kennedy Jr. whom the FELON-In-Chief told to ''have fun'' when taking it over. Well, I suppose Kennedy's ''brain worm'' is catching among his followers since all those ignorant parents who chose NOT to have their children vacinated are now paying the price for their ignorance (in this situation and numerous others they have not realized yet). Actually it is their innocent children who are paying the price for their parents' ignorance! Some ''fun'', huh? This along with turning the food pyramid upside down in terms of health benefits and putting lard back in the frying pan which, by the way, has been scientifically proven to be so hazardous that, in some cases, just one large meal cooked heavily in beef fat can cause acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and instant death in sensitive persons! Think of that ... just ONE MEAL ... then imagine the cumulative effect over time in previously healthy individuals! Of course, REAL SCIENCE, (just like REAL FACTS), has NO PLACE in the MAGA Republican party or in Don-The-Con's COUPany regime! I can assure the NY Times that there are dozens more ''grim signs'' every day that we have already entered a ''new era'' of destruction and back-sliding in this country ever since this dangerous clown show of a regime took over and it will only get worse ... and worse ... until, somehow, we GET THEM ALL OUT OF WASHINGTON and out of our lives! The headline reads... Appeals Court Upholds Block on Trump Ballroom Construction - A federal appeals court panel backed a lower court’s ruling, and, of course, that just made it likely that the ''Supreme Court'' will now decide the case (in Chump's favor no doubt).. Of course, the decision does not mean construction will halt immediately. Nope, that's just likely a ''formality statement'' from the lower court as they pass it along to the IMPeror's ''leashed pet'' NONsupreme court. The appeals court conveniently placed its ruling ''on hold'' for 14 days to allow the Trump administration time to draft an appeal to the ''U.S. Supreme Court'' which, of course, will overturn all lower court rulings and allow another hijacking of public property scam to continue...at taxpayer expense OF COURSE (believe otherwise and you've become an honored member in their ''idiots club''). But, you know, we might as well let it go on or else, at this point, we'll be stuck with just another hole in the ground (to match that in the soul of the LIAR-In-Chief) and a partial ''ruins'' aside the once-called ''people's house''. From the whatever happended to character and dignity department ... Vice IMPeror JD Vance has dispensed with any and all resemblance of the ''decorum'' of his predecessors down through history and has started to directly harrass all his percieved opponents, as well as, of course, honest journalists, online constantly (in the same mold of his ''mentor-in-chief''). He often gets directly personal with his jabs and flaunts profanity at will. SO ... anyone who thinks we might be better off with this maniac in charge (or God forbid the THIRD in-line, Squeaker/Sneaker MAGA Mike), you'd better do some rethinking! Until this ENTIRE CROWD of maniacal, self-serving, blow-hards can be carted off, from Stephen Miller at the top all the way down to Senator Kennedy of Louisianna, the most dangerous threat to our government in modern history will still prevail ( and now they are throwing Lindsey Graham's SISTER at us in S.C with her main message being ... her solid alliance with Don The Con! ... UNBELIEVABLE!)! 
You know, while EVERY ONE of Don-The-Con's traits are uniquely, as off-the-chart-extreme as they are treacherous, none of them exceed his incessant GREED. He wants more of everything ... constantly .... NEVER becoming close to being satisfied.
His niece, psychologist, Mary Trump, pretty well summed it all up in just a few words with the title of her million plus selling book ... ''TOO MUCH AND NEVER ENOUGH'' (How My Family Created The World's Most Dangerous Man). He never gets enough. He will never be satisfied. He cannot rest a day without seeking more....more attention ... more power ... more property ... more (faux) praise ... more destruction ... and MORE REVENGE ... just to list a few of his ''MORES''. And, he expects all this to be just heaped upon him as it has been most of his life. In spite of what his worshipers believe to the contrary, he has NEVER EARNED ANYTHING! He was bestowed his first millions while his father was alive and he bankrupted those. Then, he inherited more millions upon his father's death which he also squandered. Anything else he aquired has been by corrupt means....whether by outright con jobs or other similar fraudulent methods. The GOP famously doesn't like the term ''entitlement'' but, yet, there has NEVER been anyone in American political history who carries a greater sense of personal entitlement than their current IMPeror! And, of course, they collectively honor that entitlement day in and day out, throughout their farcical congressional charade all the way up to the Führer's own, personal NONsupreme court! Congress has bestowed their full power upon him and the high court has bestowed blanket immunity upon him (everytime I write that term ''blanket immunity'' I just cannot believe I am dealing with reality and not writing some George Orwell type dystopian novel!). BTW ... A dystopia often starts as an attempt to create a utopia (as in the IMPeror's proclaimed ''Golden Age'').It uses lies and propaganda to try to trick people into believing that their bad world is actually good ... that wrong is right and right is wrong ... SOUND FAMILIAR? The current COUPany spends millions of your tax dollars every week attempting to change facts and rewrite history. The Führer has just recently ordered a ''warning sign'' out front of the Smithsonian claiming that it is THEY who have displayed a faux history when, like all of his many projections, it is actually HE who is constantly spewing the garbage. His words are as corrupt as his actions ... and vice versa! He, early on, coined the term, which all of his cult immediately jumped on and repeated everytime they were confronted with the truth, ''FAKE NEWS''. This was his ultimate example of projection in that it was HIS favored propaganda network, now the ''state media'', FOX News, that was the ACTUAL purveyor of ''FAKE news'' and propaganda to the ''nth degree''! Give him credit for one thing, he developed the PROJECTION technique to near perfection ... at least to it's effect upon his worshipers ... projection meaning projecting his own atrocities on someone else, usually right before he committed them himself. He also used the old tactic that my old friend, Lee Atwater actually pioneered... repeat some bull----t often enough on TV (or today on social media) and it eventually becomes the ''truth'' in the minds of the gullible ''sheeple'' (my own coined term passed along to Lee many years ago!) who want to believe it anyway. He started laying his foundation for calling the 2020 election ''rigged'' early on by repeating over and over that ''the only way we can possibly loose is if they cheat''. He knew he would likely loose so he was forming his alternative reality plans way ahead of time as his friend and confident Rudy Giuliani suggested, ''Just say you won. All you have to do is just say you won''. Well, he has said it so often, and for so long, that I suspect that even he, HIMSELF, probably now actually believes it! Don-The-Con has lived the con game for so long that I think he now actually cons himself! Don-The-Con is the PERFECT nickname for this poster-boy narcissist. Give him credit as it is the one thing that he has mastered during his lifetime ... he became the first man in history to exclusively CON his way all the way to the White House...TWICE no less! HOWEVER ...the bigger problem in all of this is not so much the ''once-in-a-lifetime'' con man extraordinaire, Donald J. Trump. The bigger problem is the fact that so many of today's Americans actually FELL for his con job (as many STILL DO!) ! Like my hispanic tenant wisely said way back during his first term, ''I am not so much concerned about Mr. Trump since one day he will be gone. I am more concerned about all these crazy people who believe in him and voted for him since they will always be with us.'' True wisdom indeed. As I used to write about in my early editions .. While ''A I'' (artifical intelligence), with all of its ramifications, is one of the most dangerous things to come along in our lifetime, the ''R I '' (Real Ignorance) that proliferates in our society (and in our politics!) these days is way, way more dangerous! A ''Don-The-Con'' could never have risen to the heights of his destructive power without the ''gullible sheeple'' who allowed themselves to be conned and who enabled him all the way to this most dangerous pinnacle we're at today! PLEASE VOTE TO THROTTLE THIS IN THE MIDTERMS! And don't just hope your vote gets counted ... PLAN TO ... SHOW UP AND SHOW OFF! It's not about ''POLICY'' ... It is about PEOPLE! I know you are out there, my readers since I can see the stats provided by my Internet host at the end of each month. The readers of ''DaviSoapbox'' have increased, little by little (sometimes by VERY little) each month since it was launched. Now, however, I am MOST PROUD to report that, for whatever reason (probably because of lots of link SHARING by YOU!) ... this past month we reached RECORD GROWTH with nearly 6,000 site visits and over 1500 new, unique views! That is the MOST growth in one month ever by far! I THANK ALL OF YOU FOR THAT! BUT ... my feedback, by way of texts and eMail, has been exceedingly low and almost non-existant this past month (I think I got ONE email so far and it was another asking/suggesting that I consider a ''SubStack'' newsletter). I do miss hearing from you and if you have been ''teetering on the edge '' as to whether or not to send me one, I would like to tilt you in the ''SEND IT BY ALL MEANS'' direction! Please do! The first few months after I launched my little site, I was getting at least one or two eMails per week. Some weeks/months I got quite a few...one or two critical but most very supportive. I do miss hearing from you and getting your suggestions and feedback in general! So, PLEASE consider dropping me a line now and then and let me know your thoughts. It is most important for me to hear from anyone who takes the time to read my monthly (sometimes more often) rambles ... (my wife has stopped reading ... she says they are just too long and she has to hear most of it aurally anyway!) ! 😉 I had a few more little topics in my ''soap notes'' list to cover but, in honor of my wife and all of you who think I ramble on too much in each edition, I will just put the wrapper on this one and then forward my notes, and start taking new notes, for next month! Please do let me hear from you and please do ''keep tuning in'' each month for more observations from atop the DaviSoapBox! As always, my best efforts, Hayne Davis PS- Oh, and...to once again answer the ongoing question... NO ... I do NOT have any plans, at this juncture, to join the crowd over at SubStack. WHY SHOULD I? I pay for this SECURE, unique, dedicated, UNCLUTTERED web platform and this is where my focus will remain. If someone can't find it worth an extra click to come to my little site of it's own merit, then I guess they don't belong here anyway. Again, though, I surely do THANK all of you who DO find your way here each month! And ... as always ... PLEASE EXCUSE THE TYPOS ... I seem to keep finding them EVERY time I proofread and correct!

The ones they go after hardest... July 15, 2026 ''DaviStrategist'' ? ... Well it happened. And because of it, I am as ''DaviSickened'' by the Democrats right now as I am with the Republicans (well ... almost). Today as I write this section, on the 9th, six days ahead of publication, I have just learned that the candidate, Graham Platner, whom I was so excited about when I learned of his campaign a couple of months ago, has now, because of pressure from the ''big-time'' Democratic ''strategists'', DROPPED OUT of the Maine senate race! Now, this is a BIG deal! It's big for many reasons. First of all, it is BIG because we have lost a refreshing new and bold entry into a very broken political system all because OF that very broken political system . It is BIG because the very reason he dropped out, is one of the main reasons he was running ... because he had many valid and logical ideas on how to FIX THE BROKEN SYSTEM. Of course, the system doesn't particularly want that. Even his own party saw fit to ''crucify him''. It is also BIG since it proves that the Democratic party still hasn't learned anything from its past mistakes and the idiocy in their immediate rise against one of their best candidates to come along in many years, simply because of a calculated smear campaign by the right which everyone knew was coming, further proves their ''old guard'' leadership at the top continues to be the Democratic Party's biggest log in their own quagmire. I have to say that I am also disgusted with Mr. Platner, himself. I truly never thought he would bow to the pressure. I realize that, at some point, one must draw the line as to how much they are willing to put their family through to endure today's dirty politics, especially when that dirt is thrown at them by todays professional dirt slingers, the Republican ''DIRT SPECIALISTS''. But, he had already publicly admitted that he had enjoyed a very active sex life in years past (so that's a disqualifier?) and that he had some regrets because of it early on in his marriage (which he and his wife had worked through and which should be enough for any outside critics to keep their collective mouths shut!). He also admitted that, after two tours of active combat duty he had come back with some emotional problems early on when he returned home, including over-indulgence in alcohol from time to time. He had stated that part of his motivation to run for office was to show how people can work through a personal crisis and come out changed for the better. He also fully and openly answered every criticism continually hurled at him by the Republican operatives during his early run for the Senate. Unlike his Republican counterparts, he did NOT avoid, deny and project, blaming others, in the style of his accusers. No. He stood and looked them in the face and admitted his mistakes when the accusations were just, and called them lies and distortions when they were, indeed, lies and distortions (typically orchestrated and carried out by Republican ''startegists'' and their trained ''operatives''). So, YES, I am very, very disappointed in Mr. Platner that he allowed the ''dirt deluge'' that he knew was being dug up and piled up for him, bury him so quickly! Somehow he let the establishment he was trying so hard to change, sweep him out of the way and under the pile before he had really gotten started. It is also BIG because ALLEGATIONS and ACCUSATIONS should never be, but these days typically are, treated with the same weight as convictions whether one is remotely guilty or not. This is one of the more sickening aspects of our modern society. It doesn't take much to discredit someone these days ... just put some BS out on the Internet about them and, right away, the vigilante lynch mobs are out in force! That is, unless you are a reality show styled Republican ... then you can be a convicted felon, a genuine sexual predator and rapist and, not only be defended by your supporters, but also even be elected as their President Of The United States! How CRAZY and how HYPOCRITICAL is that? I guess that double standard is just the true norm in today's dumbed down world ruled by ignorance and ''Idiocracy''! In Platner's case, while I certainly do NOT know all the facts ... I have read and heard enough to get a pretty good idea of what's going on here. Maybe I am the naive ''fool'' in this case but I believe this man when he says what he says. This guy didn't lay it all on the line to come out and run against hypocrites by being one himself! If he says the accusations are a lie then I would rather believe his word than that of a disgruntled girlfriend from many years back who is, apparently, still holding a grudge about the break-up ... or, perhaps this ''grudge'' was simply renewed by one of the operatives who ''worked on her'' and coaxed her out into the attention arena. The OBVIOUS question is this ... why now? If she had been ''technically raped'' as she suggested, then why did she wait until years later when POLITICS became involved before she said anything? Ask yourself that question and ponder your answer for awhile! And, just perhaps, this accuser should ask herself, if indeed my assumptions about her being ''worked on'' by the Republican operatives are correct, then just who is ''assaulting her'' now at this juncture and how does she justify not accusing them of another form of ''moral assault''? I also blame the mainstream media for their tabloid style sensationalism over this. Even the so-called ''liberal'' New York Times recently had a female reporter go out ''digging'' for more dirt on Platner looking up ALL of his past girlfriends. She apparently plodded and coaxed any faint memory they might conjure up of Platner being, how should we say ... ''too un-gentlemanly'' ... with them. To her ''surprise'' (and likely disappointment) most of them reported just the opposite saying he was mostly a ''true gentleman''. THAT did NOT make the headlines, however! In my view, Platner's biggest flaw was simply allowing himself too many ill-chosen ''girlfriends''! But, indeed, that was in the PAST and he DID admit his past mistakes... and he DID learn from them ... and he DID correct them! Isn't that what a responsible human being is supposed to be doing? Is there any more that could be asked of him in that regard? You certainly don't hear ANY Republican politicians admitting ANY mistakes let alone correcting any ... no ... they just ignore them, deny them, or blame somebody else! But, yes, I am VERY disappointed in Mr. Platner for giving in to the establishment and dropping out. He says that his quitting was not an admission of guilt. Well it will certainly look that way and will definitely be spun that way by the ''state media''! In his concession announcement Platner blames ''a political system not built for normal people''. Then I say, THAT IS your reason NOT to quit and NOT the reason TO quit! You definitely disappoint me in that end, Mr. Platner! And just what do these ''genius'' Democratic Party ''STRATEGISTS'' have to say about it? They say it is likely for a "more experienced candidate who is free from scandal to campaign on key issues Platner addressed even if they are not as far to the left as he is''. There you have the key phrases, ladies and gentlemen- a ''more experienced candidate'' and ''not as far to the left''. This tells you all you need to know about today's establishment leaders of the Democratic Party! They're one of the very reasons that even an ill-charactered joke, disgraceful human being and career criminal can defeat them at the polls! When this latest accusation initially broke, Platner's campaign released a statement calling the allegations "coached and coordinated by out of state establishment operatives. For a year, opponents of this campaign have thrown everything they can at Graham - calling him a Nazi, a war criminal, and a communist. None of it has been true and this is no different. It is not a coincidence that this story comes a week before the ballot deadline, just as the previous false allegations came a week before the primary. Graham began this campaign to fight for a Maine where everyone is treated with dignity and where Mainers are put first, and no amount of desperate smears will stop this movement from seeing that vision through," the statement said. I had hoped that statement was correct. But, most unfortunately, it DID stop the movement. So, as I have said at the outset, my disgust this edition, at this current point, is with the Democratic party! All they have to hear is an "alleged accusation" and right away they are ready to abandon and persecute one of the best candidates to run on their ticket in a long time. ALL you had to do to know this was to listen to any of Platner's sincere, passionate speeches and press interviews. As pointed out, the crooked, but shrewd, operatives on the right know this ''cave-in'' trait of the Democrats and so they have been after Graham Platner the entire time with one smear tactic after another just waiting for their piled-up wall of dirt to collapse. So in the end it did. No matter that the current Felon-In-Chief in the White House on their opposing side is a convicted rapist, lifelong abuser of women and girls and a career criminal, all it takes is an obvious, orchestrated, questionable accusation for the Democrats to want to take down one of their own in spite of a vehement denial and nothing else besides ''she said/he said'' possible ''evidence''. When you do the honest research, you learn that these women accusers are either long-term Republican operatives or have been reached out to and prodded by those who are. Of course this is not in any way to be misconstrued as any kind of defense of actual sexual assault but only to rightly condemn exaggerations by, and/or manipulations of, former girlfriends for either attention, for revenge over a bitter breakup and, with timing like this, certainly for political gain. You can bet on it! The ones they go after hardest are the ones they are most afraid of ...the best ones! I emphasize once again that you must ask yourself ... if this accusation is not politically motivated, then why is it only being revealed during a political campaign? Why now and not when it allegedly happened? The Democratic party elite say their urgings for Platner to withdraw were because they want to be known for their "transparency". Well being transparent with your stupidity doesn't make you any less stupid! ... Just like the FELON-In-Chief's out-in-the-open ''transparency'' in his crimes doesn't make him any less criminal!  And now for more of the news you will never see/hear on the ''state media'', FOX NEWS ... Who's paying for the IMPeror's vanity projects in Washington? Well, according to the New York Times investigations, the government’s "finance wizards have revised and re-revised", and in some cases re-re-revised, their cost estimates. It’s all about as clear as the algae-clouded water in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES - Of course that bid-free contract for the reflecting pool was given to one of the IMPeror's donors who, admittedly, didn't know anything about what he was undertaking and who had never replaced a pool liner before so therefore just another LIAR-In-Chief corrupt, ''fraud and waste'' bamboozle in the making. Then when the botch-job starts peeling and breaking apart floating to the top, the LIAR-In-Chief, in his typical style, starts hunting for somebody to place the blame on. So, he comes out with a ''theory'' that somebody, somehow, ran along (swam underwater?) the entire 350 foot length of the pool and cut the lining loose with a ''box cutter''. Too ridiculous to believe for anybody besides the gullible MAGAS and the FOX News hosts awaiting another bull---- spin opportunity! Then, in a desparate attempt to find some innocent by-stander on which to place blame, they ARREST a 67 year old, former U.S. olympian who just happened to ride by the pool during a 64 mile bike ride. Being a company owner who made composite materials used in watercraft, he was naturally curious about the pool liner material and when he saw a chunk that was still attached to the side of the pool, he said he reached down to briefly touch the chunk and then let go when a park official ran over and told him to. ''I just reached down to see what it felt like. It was very rubbery'', he said. This simple little incident was naturally blown up into a criminal act by the FELON-In-Chief's faux DC Attorney General, former FOX NEWS screamer, Jeanine Pirro who accused the curious citizen of ''forcefully and vilolently'' pulling up the bottom liner ''with both hands''. Meanwhile, according to this disgrace to the legal system, authorities have also made ''about six other misdemeanor arrests''. I guess she'll try to see that they are all imprisoned as the ''guilty parties' to ''box-cut'' the liner. I suppose they also imported the green slime. Meanwhile the FELON-In-Chief keeps on pardoning one criminal after the other, under the radar, while his corrupt NONsupreme Court overturns the convictions of the Proud Boys for their January 6th raid on the capitol. The IMPeror most recently pardoned eleven more people, including nine convicted in vehicle emissions cases whom he says were punished for 'fixing their car'. He, then, also pardoned a convicted former business partner of Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff. We just can't have ANY of the FELON-In-Chief's criminal political cronies being rightfully punished, now can we? The very SICK INSANITY of this UNBELIEVABLY, OPENLY CORRUPT COUPany regime just never, never stops... it just grows and spreads like the terrible cancer it is on our government and our society in general! You Republicans hearing about any of this on your ''state media network'' FOX News while you feed on your daily propaganda diet, are you ? Did you miss this? Virginia State officials had asked the justices to step in to allow the state to use a congressional map in the midterms that was drawn by Democrats and recently approved by the voters themselves. Let that sink in ... approved by the Virginia voters themselves". So, what did the Führer's puppet court decide? They did NOT allow it but instead OVERTURNED the will of the people (SOME DEMOCRACY, HUH?!). Naturally ... what else do you expect from a Non-supreme court that has become the most blatantly corrupt in American history whereby at least three of its justices should be impeached if we were still a just and lawful constitutionally governed country. Of course, we no longer are thanks to them and the tyrant they exclusively serve and gave FULL IMMUNITY FROM THE LAW. What better, clearer example than overturning the will of the people and discarding their votes! Who can begin to argue otherwise? Contradictorily, they upheld the illegal maps of the Gerrymandering Republicans in some red states including Texas and Alabama. Why of course! In the first major case since the justices narrowed the Voting Rights Act, the court cleared the way for Alabama to use a map preferred by Republicans that eliminates a majority-Black district. The courts eliminate the ''Black districts'' while the FOX-News weekend host, Hegseth, gets up from his Pentagon make-up table to eliminate Black, and female, officers or specifically curtail promotions of the few he allows to stay on. MEANWHILE ... 
if you've wondered whether the IMPeror had gotten past pestering Greenland, the answer is no....the perpetually power hungry bully still has his goons going at it in private while he still threatens to invade. His bimbo press secretary, Karo-LYIN' Leavitt, recently laughingly said in a podcast
interview that the regime should consider drafting all the ''spoiled'' leftist kids into their military and force them to invade Cuba (and Greenland) whenever her
Führer decides he's ready.
In ongoing closed-door talks, the U.S. continues to demand a major role in the control of Greenland against the wishes of all its citizenry and leaders. Greenlandic officials worry about the direction of the negotiations aimed at defusing the war criminal's continuing threats to seize their island but they have little leverage.
You can be SURE that during this distraction of the Iran war, there are more atrocities than ever going on, and being planned, under the table and behind closed doors as they continue to ''flood the zone'' with one destructive activity after another. It's ALL about POWER and GREED ... as always. And speaking of Iran ... Just like the $352m in federal funds designated for the Secret Service that the COUPany regime has quietly redirected toward the IMPeror's controversial White House ballroom project, despite repeated promises by the LIAR-In-Chief that the project would be entirely privately funded, his Iran deal promises private funding to the tune of $300 billion be given to Iran by ''private donors''. Yeah right! If you are someone who STILL believes ANY statement coming out of this defamed and corrupted White House, then you are an even bigger fool now than you were when you voted for him! Instead of the "unconditional surrender" Chump lauded, what he settled for was less than we had before he stirred the hornets' nest with his senseless bombing plus new concessions to boot. Of course the deal went down the drain anyway and who knows whether it was ever a real option to begin with. The strait is open...no closed...no open...no closed...no open....no closed etc. etc. and the idiotic players keep the stock market bouncing up and down in accordance with his whimsical lies like the yoyos they are! While the Iranians continue to suffer substantial losses in the war, they will emerge from a confrontation with the world’s most powerful military having proven that they can use economic chaos as a valid and effective weapon. The Iran deal is a U.S. failure in writing. “This is the biggest geopolitical power shift in the Gulf since the start of the Iran-Iraq war. There is a new sheriff in town. Dial 1-800-Ayatollah.” — Thomas L. Friedman, a NY Times Opinion columnist From the blatant corruption department ... While everyone else is may be suffering financially, the IMPeror's financial ''rake-ins'' while in office are at a level once unimaginable for any leader of a democracy, ESPECIALLY any sitting American president. Of course we are no longer, technically, a certain operating democracy. The release of a mandatory financial disclosure for 2025 shows that the Trump family’s holdings, particularly the FELON-In-Chief's crypto businesses, were ''stunningly lucrative'' to say the least. The IMPeror and his mafia family pulled in over $2 Billion in just a short time after returning to the White House by, literally, offering the Presidency of the United States for sale, in a variety of ways, to the highest bidders! They don't even have to worry about ''underhanded dealings under the table'' ... they can just flaunt their multiple acts of corruption right out in the open with no one to hold them accountable. Wow ... is America ''GREAT AGAIN'' or what? Among all his countless grifts, Don-The-Con and his Mafia family reaped vast financial rewards from a memecoin that generated losses for hundreds of thousands of investors. And speaking of losses to investors.... How about those ongoing losses of the shortsighted voters who invested in another Trump presidency? Most of them are STILL too myopic to see them but they WILL FEEL THEM sooner or later! THEN ... The regime's political hijacking of the F.B.I. continues as it assigns scores of ''analysts'' to supposedly "examine" election records in Georgia. The 260 analysts...can you believe that?...260 "analysts" ... assigned to the “priority” investigation by Kash Patel are a reflection of the FELON-In-Chief's ongoing push to prove his baseless claims that the 2020 election was rigged wasting agency time and resources at taxpayer expense (If the Democrats are such ''Dumocrats'' [remember most people don't know there is a ''B'' in dumb], then how are they so capable of ''rigging'' and ''stealing'' an election, Mr. Chump? You can't have it both ways! And, if they are that clever, why in hell didn't they mercifully rig this last one to be rid of you and have you in jail where you rightfully belong?). Don't be surprised if this false front operation also produces the false "proof" that the Liar-In-Chief demands. If you think this is bad its just a rehearsal I assure you. Just imagine what they have planned for the midterms! Former special counsel Jack Smith warned that the U.S. is facing an “attack on the rule of law” under Trump ...FACING AN ATTACK? Come on Mr. Smith...he's been attacking the rule of law since he came down the gold escalator! Smith says he is “very concerned” about the integrity of future elections and accuses the administration of openly weaponizing the Department of Justice (DOJ). Smith, the special counsel who brought charges against Trump following his first term, argued that the department has seriously fundamentally weakened under Trump. “Regardless of what you think politically, they’re just not effective at doing their job anymore,” he said in an interview on MS NOW’s “Deadline: White House” — his first interview since resigning 10 days before Trump’s second inauguration. Well, that is certainly putting it all mildly! Smith acknowledged it “could happen” that he’d be indicted by the DOJ for angering Trump by prosecuting him, as others like former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James have seemingly been targeted as Trump’s perceived political enemies. He said it “angers” him to see public servants, who work on cases that aren’t favorable to Trump or his allies, “demonized for doing their jobs” by the Trump administration. Well it more than angers me ...it sickens me ... and it is even more sickening that it continues to be supported, along with all the rest of the voluminous corruption, by many mainstream Republicans! Most Americans agree that money should be removed from politics to the greatest extent possible ... everyone except the Republicans and their NONSupreme Court that is. The Tyranny's puppet top court just lifted all spending limits on political parties and candidates. This backwards decision is, naturally, a major victory for Republicans and the resulting flood of paid for propaganda by the bribing oligarchs and corporate interests could undercut one of the Democrats’ advantages going into the midterms. Of course that's the whole point. The sole purpose of the Republican party now is to just stay in power at all costs and to continue to undo any progressive legislation and protections put in place by Democrats for the good of the people. They continue their plans to sabotage the midterm elections in all ways possible as the KNOW they could NOT win a free and fair election. They have proven over and over that a free and fair democracy no longer matters in the slightest to them and that ALL they are concerned about is continuing their hold on power in order to purvey more corruption, personal enrichment, revenge against their political oponents whom they label ''the enemy from within'' and to destroy all federal protections and benefits for the populace at every level within their reach....period! This is, by far, the most dangerous time in modern American political history as we still sit on this right-wing powder keg while most Americans just hum along and appear oblivious to it all ... just ''normal'' ... just ''business as usual''. We desparately need a DRASTIC AWAKENING to put an end to this madness and once again, somehow at all costs, re-create a government that is truly of the people, for the people and by the people! Sneakin' & Squeakin' ... I mentioned last time that the Sneaker/Squeaker of the House, MAGA Mike Johnson had labeled social security as an ''entitlement'' that needed to be cut and that it would so be addressed in the 2027 Congress! Well, this call for Republicans to act on Social Security reform if they keep control of Congress in 2027 is getting pushback from Senate Republicans who warn it's a ''bad political message'' heading into November. Well, ''NO S----''! Yet, a trustees' report claiming that the popular retirement program will become insolvent sooner than expected has lit a fire under lawmakers in both parties to call for reforms such as raising the cap on payroll taxes, "means testing" beneficiaries, raising the retirement age, and creating personal accounts to invest in the stock markets. The Social Security trustees' report warned that beneficiaries would see their monthly checks cut by 22 percent in 2032. Fiscal conservatives are, meanwhile of course, applauding Johnson's bold talk. No money for social security but trillions to throw away on needless war mongering, multiple fat contracts for their corporate donors, billions for the ICE Gestapo and their ''concentration camps'', and vanity projects for their beloved Führer! HEY MAGA ... ARE WE ''GREAT'' AGAIN YET? FEELIN' THAT ''GOLDEN AGE'' IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT ARE YOU? These ''fiscal conservatives'' are just as stupidly hypocritical as the so-called ''pro-lifers'' who are obsessed with controlling a woman's right to her decisions about her own body while at the same time they are just fine with ICE running around killing people in the streets, indiscriminate killings of boaters in international waters and their support of incessant genocide and war crimes such as Israel in Gaza and the U.S. bombing of a girl's school in Iran as well as other civilians ... not to mention their unconcern for future life on this planet in general with their support of lifting all environmental protections just so that they can continue to fill their over-sized, status symbol (so they think) gas guzzlers with their pollution restrictions removed as well! It's hard to fathom that in the year 2026, we have a corrupt, lobby bribed regime running this country (into the ground) that is hell-bent on taking us back to the dark ages quite literally....the days of skies full of smog smoke and soot. They want the environment to be as dark and dirty as the way they operate. Line the sky with black while they line their wallets with green. A new report from clean energy think tank Energy Innovation suggests higher energy bills will continue for the next decade, tied directly to Trump’s policies. It comes as energy affordability is emerging as a key issue in this year’s midterm elections....just another reason why they are working on so many ways to rig the election! A year ago, Republicans in Congress killed a clean energy law that had contained billions in subsidies for renewables, electric vehicles, rooftop solar and household batteries. The administration has made it a deliberate policy of making it harder to permit clean energy projects and has tipped the scales in favor of more expensive, and practically speaking OBSOLETE, coal-fired power (Remember ''Coalie''?). And, of course, the Führer's government has waged a largely successful onslaught against the budding electric vehicle market in the US letting China, Europe, Australia and New Zealand become inherent leaders in that regard. And we KNOW that windmills are dangerous and ''cause cancer'' and ''kill birds by the millions'' because the ''stable genius'' continues to dribble it at every speech opportunity. He's almost as ''smart'' as his brain-wormed ''health secretary'' who has now promoted BEEF FAT (LARD) as the new frying standard to replace vegetable oils! And, there are actually food companies and restaurant chains now announcing that they are jumping on board with this insanity! WHAT A COUNTRY we now live in! From the ''A I '' department ... Want one more example of how AI is screwing up the world? You might have seen that someone posted a legit looking sign at a McDonald's drive-through saying that the restaurant was now charging a dollar "convenience fee" for using the drive-thru. Of course it was AI "BS" and, of course, it spread like wildfire all over social media. Now, here's the kicker and the dangerous, albeit interesting, part.... Asking the Bing and Google search engines whether this was true or false displayed AI-generated answers that inaccurately confirmed the story about the new $1 convenience fee, citing unverified social media posts as credible sources! In a world where you already can't trust most anything you read/hear/see ... the last thing we need is a bunch of losers with nothing else to do but play around with AI in the wee hours (bring anyone to mind?) continually slopping the AI trough! Of course the biggest loser with nothing on his mind but playing with AI in the middle of the night happens to be the Felon in the White House who, supposedly, the majority of "RI" voters "blessed" us with last election. And ... finally ... from the ''separation of church and state department'' ... (Remember that from the Constitution we once had?) DALLAS (AP) — Texas' education board approved a required reading list for more than 5 million public school students that includes Bible stories, widening conservative efforts to bring Christian teachings into U.S. classrooms. The state-mandated list of assigned reading — which includes Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations" and excerpts from the New Testament — appeared to be among the first of its kind of the nation and will take effect starting in 2030. The State Board of Education, which is naturally controlled by Republicans, approved the list on a 9-5 vote following weeks of contentious debate that again put Texas at the center of wrangling over the role of religion in public schools. Last year, Texas became the largest state to require teachers to hang the Ten Commandments in every classroom. Isn't it ironic that a group of hypocrites can force their concept of religion into the classrooms with the ten commandments but yet they don't require themselves, or their fellow so-called "conservative" politicians, to live by any of them...in fact, they exemplify the exact opposite ... complete and TOTAL showboat hypocrisy! As I close out this first edition which kicks off yet another quarter of posts on DaviSoapbox.com ... I, once again, thank all of you for your ongoing support and continued following. I was most surprised to see that our site stats have actually GROWN over the last two months even though I have scaled back the posting to just once per month (most months anyway). I never ever dreamed I would wind up doing being ''political commentary'', especially on a regular basis. But, then, I never dreamed I would live to see such a desparate political situation destroying my beloved country! Drastic times call for drastic measures! I realize that my own little efforts here are just a ''drop in the ocean'' compared to most, but I do this to call attention to the fact that EVERY concerned American, who is capable, should NOW SPEAK OUT IN ANY AND EVERY WAY POSSIBLE! I want to be on record, when the honest history is someday written about the era of Trumpism and the MAGA cult, that I joined those who were truly on the RIGHT side of history by standing up for TRUTH ... and REALITY ... by standing against, calling out and documenting the most dangerous and corrupt political machine ever to crawl out of the political slime and come to power in my lifetime and beyond! Perhaps that ''green slime'' in the reflecting pool is the most accurate metaphor for, and true reflection of, the sickening corruption that we've been enduring under this despicable regime. I am also very pleased when I get that occasional email or text from any of you who are so inclined to drop me a note of support (or critique)! I don't get very many these days but I remind you that I welcome and solicit them and that all are kept private and confidential. Also, all are responded to as soon as possible. If you ever send a message and don't get a reply in a reasonable amount of time, it simply means I did not get it for some reason ... in that case please try again! If you are new here, I thank you for joining us and remind you that I post a separate web page for each three month quarter. I urge you to please go back and review the prior editions linked above for foundational material and right here on this page for the remainder of the quarter. Until next time ... this old broadcaster says ... Please tune in again ...''same station''! Thank you sincerely, Hayne Davis As always ... please excuse any typos! I try to proof-read (no spell-check) but ... well ... you know!

Some of you have taken your time to send me an email now and then and I do appreciate and ALWAYS welcome that. One recent suggestion I received was to publish my posts on a designated schedule so that readers would know when to look for the latest. I think that is an excellent suggestion so ...''DaviSchedule'' it is henceforth! HOWEVER ... while I will have a designated date for regular monthly posts (as you may have noticed, my frequency of new posts has waned significantlly as of late mainly due to increasing duties and time constraints on the homefront and the workfront), I MAY also, when circumstances dictate, post additional supplements from time to time during any given month. Otherwise, there will only be ONE per month. But, that considered... From now on, the REGULAR posting date for DaviSoapBox will be the 15th of each month. Thank you again! OTHER LINKS OF INTEREST  In my opinion, Rachel Maddow is, BY FAR, the BEST all around news commentator anywhere today, period! She is honest, intelligent, articulate and has a way of framing her commentaries in a clear and factual manner unlike anyone else out there. And there is NO DOUBT that her CONCERN for our sad state of affairs is truly genuine! I HIGHLY recommend that you follow her insights regularly if you REALLY want to know what's going on! Rachel Maddow Mission Statement . Another YouTube favorite of mine is a brilliant young woman who calls herself ''Politics Girl''. She, herself, is putting aside ongoing health issues to crusade against the numerous atrocities of this second Trump Administration. Here again, she is also intelligent, factual and forceful in her commentary with an obvious, deep passion for exposing the truth behind the corruption. You can find her channel here- POLITICS GIRL . This next one is most unique! Here you find a guy that, at first glance, you might label as a definite ''MAGA Redneck''! He has the southern accent and often uses imperfect grammar. But this ''Blue surrounded by RED'' Tennessee native is one of the more entertaining and insightful presenters on YouTube with an audience that is growing drastically day by day. He has the most honest, common sense approach to presenting the ''receipts'', as he calls them, of the numerous atrocities of Trump and company. He calls himself - Tennessee Brando . I would be willing to bet, that most MAGA supporters don't even know about Mary Trump, the psychologist niece of Donald Trump. If they did, HOW ON EARTH could they have ignored her inside revelations for years prior to the recent election (well, that is a DUMB question on my part since I have pointed out as often as anyone that the MAGA crowd ALWAYS ignores any TRUTH about their glorified cult leader!)? Here is how WIKIPEDIA describes Mary Trump - ''Mary Lea Trump (born May 3, 1965) is an American psychologist and writer. A member of the Trump family, she has been critical of her uncle, U.S. President Donald Trump. Her 2020 book about him and the family, Too Much and Never Enough, sold nearly one million copies on the day of its release''. Her YouTube channel is- Mary Trump Media . Perhaps the truly largest and fastest growing independent ''news network'' on YouTube is now the Meidas Touch Network. They have a variety of presenters from time to time under their banner and they keep up with the current events of the MAGA bunch on a nearly daily basis. Although they are now, all too often in my opinion, presenting themselves in a ''tabloidish'' style, they are still worth keeping up with. They are here - Meidas Touch Network .

From one of those latest "Supreme Court allows ..." Headlines....
From the "do as I say, not as I do" department ...
Up until this year, most democrats in my home state have lately been mostly, what I would call, "token candidates" ... I suppose because no one wanted to put real money behind the "lost cause" of trying to elect a Democrat in this perrenially Republican controlled "Red State".
I wonder just how many normalizing, non-attentives there are among us who still don't realize that, among all the IDIOT-In-Chief's destructions, perhaps the most dangerous is his current allowance of the destruction of the US military to it's lowest point in modern times, possibly in it's entire history. His former drunken, part-time FOX News host, pretty-boy and he-man wannabe, Hegseth has gutted all the branches of the best Generals and Admirals simply because they called out his incompetence, or more often because they were black or female (or both), and replaced them with incompetent yes-men to stroke his and the Führer's egos. He has also denied promotions for the black and/or female officers still left who were eligible and expecting them.
