WOW! What a statement from a Yale man. And with this, they have a plan. If this is it, then we are all in trouble because this rhetoric is no bubble—it’s reality. This is what he truly believes, conditioned by his own narrow world view. Hillbilly Elegy may be in his bones, but that philosophy is kicking me and all others like me from the very land we’ve called home—land that has been ours for centuries, long before 1619 or even 1492. Millions had already roamed, lived, and made this land their birthright and their God-given right to exist, free of atrocity and injustice. And now, here we are, confronting a vile, diabolical idea that threatens our existence once again.

Donald Trump’s actions on Day One of his presidency, and each day since then, have laid bare his willingness to undermine the health and wealth of working families. He is determined to pollute our air and water. And for all his tough talk about China, he is rapidly ceding vital economic ground to China as he attempts to shutter the new factories powering our nation with clean energy. A true “America First” agenda would focus on American leadership on the global stage. And it would put the American people first. Instead, he is putting Americans’ last by sacrificing our health and our jobs in favor of corporate greed.
Thus Alexandra Villarreal, writing in the Guardian about Trump 2.0’s first day in office (on Dr. Martin Luther King Day), noted: “He immediately involved the military, ordering the armed forces to ‘seal’ the US’s borders ‘by repelling forms of invasion including unlawful mass migration.’
Reincarnation is a core belief of the Hindu faith. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna explains that changing one’s body is like changing one’s clothes. I accept that possibility as I accept the idea of a Christian afterlife. Both speculations are fascinating.
Bran’s Weakness, America’s Opportunity?
There was a promising start along these lines during the late twentieth century, when―pressed by a popular upsurge against nuclear weapons―the nations of the world adopted a succession of nuclear arms control and disarmament agreements. Starting with the Partial Test Ban Treaty of 1963, these agreements helped curb the nuclear arms race and prevent nuclear war.
America’s 47th President, Donald J. Trump, was sworn in at noon on Monday, January 20, 2025. Having previously prophesized to ‘Make America Great Again,’ he remains more committed than ever. His actions suggest that he may have drawn inspiration from the Book of Revelation, which foretells that goodness will finally triumph and prevail. However, his plan to extend tax cuts for the wealthy leads one to believe he hasn’t fully embraced Luke’s Gospel.
Can We Abolish War, Or Will War Abolish Us?
Ratepayers beware. Team Trump’s eagerness to enrich his fossil fuel industry cronies with his “drill baby drill” (and export baby export) agenda is going to raise energy costs for American households.
This strikes me as the stupidest question a human being could ask – and, just possibly, also the last. Our enemy of the moment is loosing hell on us (if warning signals are accurate), so let’s do the same back at them. If we kill more of them than they kill of us, we win! Yes, human life – all life – will likely be destroyed in a nuclear war, but that’s just the way things work. That’s not our concern.
