As I awoke Thursday morning a strong message entered my head.
Something is terribly wrong.
I pulled up a news feed and the lead story was a U.S. citizen and military veteran had been snatched by ICE and held for three days.
I had Customs & Border Patrol officers as neighbors and they were great people. It was hard to wrap my head around our government renditioning citizens, especially veterans who fought for our freedoms.
Later that day three members of Congress expressed no concern about this development. They were Sen. Tommy Tuberville (Alabama), Rep. Troy Nehls (Texas) and Rep. Ralph Norman (South Carolina).
Congress.gov explains the Fourth Amendment:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.Tuberville, Nehls and Norman swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. They and White House goons belong in the terribly wrong camp. Anyone can be snagged off the street. It just takes a "totality of circumstances."
Congress passed several crypto bills with one going to the President's desk for signature. Trump II has massive conflicts of interest in crypto, a meme-coin, a token and a stablecoin. The country acts as if these do not exist. This also is terribly wrong.
News reports indicated Trump II plans to open up 401(k) retirement plans to private equity underwriter (PEU) stakes and cryptocurrencies. I can't think of riskier holdings for an individual retirement fund and thus, terribly wrong. Gamble with your non-retirement money and don't ask for a bailout if it goes bad.
Trump's flip-flop on the Epstein files raised suspicion in others that our President was in self-protection mode regarding his decades long friendship with a child sexual predator. None of the predators of over 1,000 victims have criminally charged. That is terribly wrong. Both political teams carved out space for Epstein's ring and both have sat on mountains of evidence for many, many years.
Late that afternoon I learned CBS is canceling the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. It's not unusual in a corporate takeover for any head cutting to occur before the new owner takes over. Add that the new owner is the son of a major TechGod, now orbiting the Trumpisphere. Fortune noted:
Trump, who has called in the past for CBS to terminate Colbert’s contract, celebrated the show’s upcoming demise. “I absolutely love that Colbert got fired,” the president wrote on Truth Social.Capo CBS executes what Mafia Don wants, before the new boss arrives. This feels very, very wrong and so Mafioso.
The good news is the sky remains blue, the birds still sing and Christ's love is eternal, as is his father's. Earthly gains, although they may be great, will stay on this plane. Those wanting "ever more" money, power or possessions will not find peace in those pursuits.
Update 7-20-25: How is one to know if they are dealing with the government or scammers?
I offer Trump II, the Digital Caligula's tri-cornered hat, one corner for each of this crypto ventures:
No one is above Trump II's ragetribution, law notwithstanding.
