Trump’s renaming of Lake Ontario has created a litmus test —
Yield, and rename it Lake America, at Donald Trump’s behest,
Like Google and Apple, which already capitulated,
Changing the name just like Dear Leader stipulated,
But there’s one defiant holdout — the original mapping site, Mapquest.

“They’ve invested heavily in AI labs. They’ve invested heavily in data centers. So, the first family has a financial stake in this industry, and as a result, the president of the United States is compromised.”
— “Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) on Monday said President Trump will likely not heed calls from technology leaders to implement guardrails on the development of artificial intelligence because of his family’s investments in the industry,” NewsNation reports.
“Young Americans today have never witnessed Congress authorize a war, they’ve never seen a U.S. administration balance its books, they’ve never watched a well-funded and empowered state department operate, and they see only mistrust between allies. They assume the situation is normal. It is not. … The real cost of forgetting the pre-9/11 world is not a country that has changed, but one that no longer knows it could be different.”

“We’re working through some political issues in Israel. I think we agree with them on the end state. They just have a crazy election, and that makes them a little irrational in certain regards.”
— Jared Kushner, quoted by CBS News, on the lack of progress in Gaza.

Well, just because Washington D.C. has ACTUALLY been hit by terrorist attack shouldn’t stop speculation that those other places MIGHT get hit.
Actually, this bullshit is just further proof that THERE IS NO WAR ON TERROR. It’s all a construct, a sham perpetuated by Bush and his Republican Guard so Bush, as a “wartime president” can be our dictator instead of president.
CONGRESS DECLARES WAR AND THEY CONTROL THE PURSE STRINGS.
We need a grassroots movement in this country with getting as many people as possible to deluge their congresspersons with DEMANDS that THEY DECLARE THAT THE UNITED STATES IS NO LONGER AT WAR WITH ANYONE AND THAT ALL FUNDS FOR PROSECUTING BUSH’S WAR ARE WITHDRAWN, CANCELED, RETURNED TO THE TREASURY, AND THAT THE PENTAGON WILL BE FULLY DE-FUNDED UNLESS IT BOWS TO THE WILL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Those assholes in D.C. work for us and it’s damn well time that they learn that. If your representative will not come on board WITH THE REASONABLE REQUEST TO STOP BUSH’S “FOREVER WAR”, then refuse to vote for them and instead vote for someone who desires world peace, not global domination. And tell you rep that is what you intend to do.
But we need to start NOW before the idiot boy King George gets us embroiled in an Iranian War that could wind up destroying us all in a nuclear conflagration. They need to also pass laws clearly stating the president’s authority is COMPLETELY SPELLED OUT in the Constitution, that “signing statements” attached to legislation are COMPLETELY INVALID AND CANNOT BE CONSIDERED IN A COURT OF LAW, and that if Bush is too arrogant to just veto stuff he doesn’t like, then he will follow the law without deviation or be impeached.
So if there are any wonks out there who know how to set-up a MAJOR DRIVE by the people, of the people, and for the people so THE PEOPLE CAN REGAIN CONTROL OF AMERICA, PLEASE HELP. IT COULD BE THE LAST CHANCE FOR OUR DEMOCRACY TO SURVIVE.
And remember, THERE IS NO WAR ON TERROR. Like many countries we simply suffered a horrible terrorist event. Where other countries do good police work, capture, try, and sentence terrorist to jail, Bush has instead gutted our ability to try anyone because of the kidnappings, torture, and no way to present tainted evidence to a court. The atrocities America has committed on the watch of George W. Bush has set this country on a terrible path, and we must start derailing Bush’s future war plans now.
The Bush family has supported terrorists for three generations:
– Grandpappy Prescott Bush was one of Hitler’s financiers. Hitler was arguably the worst terrorist of all time.
-George H.W. Bush illegally sold missiles to Iran (a member of the Axis of Evil, according to his idiot son) and turned around and funded the contras, who were blood-thirsty drug-runners and terrorists.
– Dubya has refused to extradite Carlos Letelier and other narcoterrorists and played pattycake with the bin Laden family after 9-11.
Now, we just need to educate 95% of Americans about this scumbag family of traitors and incompetents!
