I'd love foreign development assistance to the CIA's NED and 'NGOs' to be stopped because it fucked up my country of South Africa. However, I don't see Trump giving up control of countries such as mine, only applying more pressure through economic agreements such as AGOA.

AI scares me more than climate change. This order basically says that the AI companies don't have to share their safety tests with the government. The tech oligarchy already rules so much, and I fear they make a big mistake.

AI is dangerous and the Death Penalty is backward and primitive. But Americans are very Biblical in their attitude to revenge and at some level, killing is part of the national psyche. There are exceptions of course.

Maybe those forces come together when AI becomes the delivery of the death penalty. The sentenced could choose which celebrity voice its wants the AI attack dog to use when quoting his final biblical passage.

1. You cannot criticize AI enough. It has not been criticized enough for the type of control it could have over a society

2. WHO has been the instrument for the most insane health policies including the Covid vaccine. It is the international promoter of death through insane medical research.

3. That does not mean a thing when you have plans to ban dissent on Israel's atrocities in Gaza and eliminate their place of employment.

4. Outstanding! There was no insurrection and the charges were absurd and the FBI acting to their true spirit were organizing and contributing to the riot. I am glad that I convinced friends that the rally was a true set up and do not attend.

5. Agreed. The appointments were designed to never be kept. It was just a formality to allow illegals into the country. Asylum claims are backed up 10-15 years and the asylum judges have not been appointed to clear the backlog.

6. This is a real travesty and strictly a publicity stunt. Anyone accused of aiding a terrorist organization will immediately go to court. Mexican cartels and migrant gangs are not political and this order is a stunt to justify absurd and disastrous military excursions into Mexico.

7. It is about time and you are right Mike, the NGO's are a disaster along with the United States Agency for International Development and the National Endowment for Democracy. US arms of imperialism in the classic form and all should be immediately defunded.

8. The death penalty should only be decided by the closest family members of the victims and only if they are willing to press the death button and pull the lever for the gas chamber or press the switch for the electric chair. I had a close friend murdered when I was a teenager and I definitely would have pulled and pressed the switch.

9. DEI has been an excuse to abolish merit hiring and just look at the Los Angeles fire chief who was hired only because she is a lesbian. She was never a fire fighter herself. She was a paramedic.

10. Green energy promotion has been a scam in the US. How can you have electric car mandates when you do not have charging stations and enough electrical plants. Technology does exist and is ignore about how clean coal burning can be and how the introduction of coal ash into concrete can make it stronger and more flexible.

11. I lived my first 50 years in Southern California and yes the protection of these small fish caused even worse environmental disasters. The area cannot even properly take care of forest and vegetation. I lived in the mountains of Southern California before I left for Wisconsin.

12. Tik Tok should never have been banned. The Chinese gain more information from the family ancestry sites they have ownership in and the insurance companies who salivate about obtaining DNA information.

I was 100% against the death penalty but after many bad encounters with power, I wasn't sure anymore. However, that's nullified by my lack of trust in the justice system. With it being so corrupt, how can it decide death?

I really appreciate the return of freedom of speech and end of censorship.

What I do not like is the 'death penalty' - essentially revenge killing by government - which seems wrong to me. It perpetuates a cycle of violence, providing a poor example to citizens. Aside from the fact that some people who get tangled up in the legal system are innocent, and cases of mistaken identity are not uncommon, the killing of people for any reason is just plain wrong and our government ought not to be involved in it (except, perhaps, in cases of self defense against enemies of the US, if there is no other option).

Do you believe that Trump's order will bring about its return, or is it for Musk etc. ?

There's a bunch of nasty people I wish dead, but, as you say, the machine is broken. The death penalty shouldn't even be a discussion until its fixed, and is a justice system rather than profiteering.

The meaning of "inauguration" comes from the Roman Church and involves the "consecration" of a prelate or priest or other officer of the Church in his office. Any legal meaning or extension of this practice to describe coronations and the entry of corporation Presidents into office, is euphemistic and derived--- but in this case, there is no need to assume a legal or euphemistic meaning.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the most forthcoming of the "Presidents" about the nature of his "inauguration" as "President of the United States" as he directly mentioned its nature as a consecration in his First Inaugural Address --- right along with his mention of clearinghouse certificates.

The vast majority of Americans have never been told and never understood on their own, that the inauguration of a President of the United States is a private affair and that the addresses that these men make upon their inauguration are aimed at and for the Federal Civil Service --- not the American Public.

An inauguration, therefore, is an odd blend of public disclosure of a private event, and an opportunity to address the Municipal citizenry that the new President is taking command of.

We have pointed out the impossibility of Donald Trump's assumption of any office in the defunct United States, Inc., the fraud involved in all the various entities calling themselves "United States", the impossibility of Trump claiming to be President of The United States -- the country, and also the lack of standing of all the British Territorial "Republics" at all levels that have been ginned up by U.S. Citizens.

So what are we to think about the "Inauguration" that has just taken place? What "United States" is Donald Trump the President of? Has someone created an unincorporated business calling itself the United States? If so, who would have the right to do this and use it to promote such a ruse on the Federal Civil Service and the people of USA country?

Maybe, at the end of the day, it was too much to deal with and too tight on the timeline, and someone somewhere just said, "We'll ask forgiveness at a later date."

Take Note, Where are the Flags?? There were none and quite rightly so. Look at what this actually means. No Flag, no country, no post-office, No army etc etc....

Terrific comment. Thanks for the insight and evaluation.

It sure sounds different to say someone was blessed into power instead of came to, or took, power.

Of course, duty has become a show, and that whole celebrity/propaganda aspect is a fundamental American wrong.

My country of South Africa is also one of the rarities with a private reserve bank.

I am a Canadian , we do not have a death penalty , but i believe we should , one of the primary responsibilities of s government is to administer justice , knowingly taking a human life is a crime above all others , there is no greater crime than stealing someone's life from them and for justice to be served , the killers life should be forfeit . To me , for justice to be served it demands that the killers life be forfeited , mistakes may be made that is the cost of administering justice , human life is degraded when justice is not done.

I went from totally against to wobbling because of my encounters with great corruption. But without a great education system and responsible citizens, there can't be a justice system. That applies extra to the USA which is more built for profit than anything else.

Hi there Mike !

A lot of what Trump did today was necessary, and long overdue.

Declaring the gangs and Cartels terrorists under the Foregin Powers act ,pretty much had to be done.

Here in Arizona, where just about everyone has a gun ( sometimes lotsa guns) the gangs stay mostly in control: don't mess with them & they don't mess with you.

In less free thinking states, the gangs are way out of control.

Mexico, is a mess due to the cartels, and they get most of their power through the sales on illicit drugs and human trafficking.

Some stuff Trump did that was predictable, was he claims the war of Israel vs Plaitinians started on October 7th, 2023.

Well he's a good Zog, at least.

Trump left WHO because we pay 10 times more than China does.

Billionaires don't care, but folks that live moth to month do.

I watched as he stood in front of all those white collar criminals, and thought about the fact that all of the were rich from the blood of civilians.

Like a ghastly bunch of Vampires.

AI is already in charge of so much, that we may as well let it take over earth.

In doing so we are on our way to extinction. But who cares?

Biden pardoned far more evil people than the J6 crowd.

6 of them were not pardoned, as they are are still under review.

Trump's statements on gender may have shocked liberals.

But things in the USA were spiraling towards collapse because the Biden administration was heavily promoting gender change for children.

As a proud disendent of a chimpanzee, I'd have to say I agree with Trump on that.

War with Iran, Greater Israel, and a coming of some false messiah are part of the plan no matter who is President.

Sending millions home,and attacking the gangs and cartels, will bring Civil War to this nation.

No doubt we'll see it soon.

Thanks Mike.

It was nice that you were open to hearing people's opinion on this.

Chimpanzees aren't our ancestors, they are a parallel line which diverged from OUR line quite a while back, around 7 million years ago. Our actual ancestors are all dead (we seem to have ate 'em), except a few fragments of their DNA from the ones we banged first.

No extant "great ape" is our ancestor (I expect you meant the old world, tail less apes of family Hominoidea- gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans).

NONE of our families extant species members are a direct ancestor of H. sapiens. The divergence/speciation which produced our direct lineage occured AT LEAST 5 to 8 million years back and every one of THEM are extinct too.

"90-day pause in foreign development assistance" is my favorite as it suggests a pause in funding for color-revolution NGOs.

Look at the signing of the EXECUTIVE ORDERS rather and the BIRTH CERTIFICATE one Trump signed and his comments "ANCHOR BABIES") this is where it all begins:

REGISTER/REGISTRATION etc. : Any/all things registered are FULLY SURRENDERED with consent to the CROWN CORPORATION with NO legal recourse until such things are removed by exposing the INTENT by those who serve the CROWN CORPORATION to commit fraud knowingly/unknowingly.

ex: A child that is REGISTERED is CROWN PROPERTY by ignorant consent where the truth of REGISTERING was not brought forth which is the original INTENT by CROWN CORPORATION SERVANT'S OWNERS to have people offer their children unknowingly into slavery of soul, and thus, body. It's the soul they're really after, so keep that in mind.

3. MONEY, GOLD, SILVER, ASSETS, BITCOIN etc. are ALL illusions of value where YOU are the true creator of all physical manifestations. Money, external value, has been the tool as the third party interloper "middle man" that has made draining your power possible. Money or the like only has value if one has been duped into thinking it does. This illusion is the ultimate distraction and destroyer of creator souls, literally. ALL money is based on the soul CONTRACT commonly known as a BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

This is why when you go into a Court, the entire court case is the BIRTH CERTIFICATE which in FACT is a DEATH CERTIFICATE and this is why they can "kill" but not "MURDER" you because that has the added INTENT which they cannot destroy their own "PROPERTY". I recently took the Courts on and after 750 pages of EXPOSURE, I took the WALKING DEAD on as the "living Woman" and the Judge had no choice but to ACCEPT MY "COURT ORDER" and dismissed the Case.

You might not remember me but I communicated with you when you had GODZILLA after you and it was YOUR case that woke me up because I offered to help you and I realised I couldn't so I put my head down like a madwoman researching and I KNOW exactly how they do it and I have created 2D "PAPER WEAPONS" to F...ck them up every time these perverts come near me. Zeroed my taxes, CLAIM THE NAME AND REVERSE THEIR SHIT BACK ON THEM. The ENTIRE system is based on FRAUD and Fraud vitiates EVERYTHING. Nunc Pro Tunc Ab initio. (now and for then,no time) and they are screwed with their MERCHANTS of VENICE PERVERTS.
