I’m a boomer…I have tried to fight against the lies of this cult, and the long-planned takeover of the elites for almost 25 years…not long enough, I know. As a former healthcare professional since the 1970’s; I fought for an accessible, affordable, single-payer healthcare option since I watched our profession start changing in the early 80’s. I believe healthcare IS a Human RIGHT.
I am an Independent who, with my WW2 & Korean Vet Dad, learned from him, helped him in his final years as he TRIED to educate others in our home state of Florida, how our country has been taken over, by the ultra-rich AND Israel, AND OTHER countries wealthy enough to buy off our money and power obsessed, politicians. My Dad, in July 2019, who at 99 was still walking 5 miles a day, fishing from his kayak and tried every day to educate others about where our country was headed. He called me the morning of July 3 from the hospital, at 4am. He was supposed to have his pacemaker replaced. He’d decided not to. “I literally can’t take it anymore Elaine. It’s destroying me a little every day, and it is extremely painful. They are destroying everything we believed we were fighting for. And half our country is applauding our destruction. They refused to heed President Eisenhower’s, and others’, warnings. This is going to destroy EVERYTHING if they aren’t stopped” He then pleaded with me to get my children out of the country. He passed away peacefully hours later.
And we re-elected Trump, corrupt politicians on both sides. Me, my girls, and my precious late Son, have many friends overseas. We have heard for almost 20 yrs, “WHY AREN’T YOU ALL IN THE STREETS EVERY DAY? Can’t you SEE what they are doing?!?”
I don’t know exactly what will happen. I am supposed to be terminally ill, with at least 6 aneurysms the doctors said WOULD rupture, over a year ago. My girls refuse to leave until I’m gone. IF something happens this week; I’m torn. I’m trained in emergency medicine and over 25yrs in disaster mgt down south. I have everything I need for months. I also have what I need to leave… I’ll decide after talking to my girls tonight. Like with my dear late father; this is also destroying ME, a little every day.

BRILLIANT, as usual, Daniel!
The TRUTH about #NVIDIA, #JensenHuang, his so-called #ChineseSpy !
As per usual here in the US; it’s NOT what media, US Law enforcement & politicians are,VERY conveniently, telling us.

Unfortunately, anything encouraging more votes will be fought like crazy by both Republicans and probably establishment Dems. Nothing changed the other night except the mask. Until, UNLESS we get money out of politics? NOTHING changes if NOTHING changes. We had “HOPE” in 2009. Then Obama refused to prosecute ANY of the scumbags responsible for the meltdown. Then there was trashing the public option…killing thousands of civilians with drones, not prosecuting war crimes or holding ANYONE accountable…I could go on. Americans are starting to realize we have ALL…Well, those of us who aren’t millionaires or billionaires..been lied to, used and ripped off in the largest redistribution of wealth in human history. Hakeem Jeffries will make sure we know that “we must be cautious”, take baby steps, can’t hold grudges, “we must move forward and not look back”. Sorry, I’m a boomer who’s been “voting” for “change” for 50 years. I’ve seen and experienced 10 steps back; 2 steps forward.

Oh Cyrus, as an old boomer, my heart breaks every day.
A few days ago, I responded to a young lady who stated she was writing a timeline to prove why President Trump is OBLIGATED to wipe “the terrorist state of Iran off the map for 49 years of attacking us for no reason!” Of course, she started her revisionist timeline in 1979, and included such “gems” as Iran being responsible, not only for 9/11, but for EVERY attack against Americans and Israel since ‘79. 🤦🏼♀️😵💫 I responded with some ACTUAL History, starting long before ‘79, and…correcting a few of her..”mis-statements”.
Oh my goodness did she respond…numerous times. “HOW DARE YOU Hijack MY post!”
“This is MY history timeline; NOT YOURS!”
“There is NO REASON for you to write anything about MY post, MY topic! And you don’t know ANYTHING!” 🤯🤦🏼♀️😵💫
I’d say I’m speechless, but as someone who tried to warn about the revisionist history that began being distributed to “Christian” home School curriculums in about 2009, when certain people were screaming about how Obama had turned our schools into anti-God brainwashing factories with “communist and Islamic revisionist history” (I got copies of public school history books-it was the same, mostly whitewashed history that I read in the 1960’s & 70’s-updated, of course. Most public school history books had already been written with a more conservative slant because of where and who the publishing board were located and who they were).
I don’t know HOW we are going to correct the thinking and lies these millions of kids have been fed since at least 2009. Critical thinking and even higher education…and concepts like empathy, are bad and “woke”. An old friend teaches biology, environmental science, meteorology and other subjects to undergrads at a State University. Chris says in the past 5-10 years, every semester she has groups disrupting her classes demanding she teach “God’s science, creationism”. They want to argue about anything that doesn’t match up to their K-12 years of homeschooling. Last year and the year before, they petitioned to have her removed for discrimination against God.
HOW do we address this?!? These kids are now having their own kids, passing on their incorrect, revisionist, reductionist, “white ‘Christian’ Nationalist” teachings to their children. A nation based on lies is hardly a ‘democracy’. 🤷🏼♀️😔
You just can't believe how low the United States has fallen under the leadership of Trump. It's absolutely embarrassing.
Trump claims he could have ended the Vietnam War in one week but yet what about his current war with Iran? 8 months and no solution? Only thing he has achieved is sky high gas prices and the highest diesel prices in American history
What about the Russia Ukraine War? Trump claimed he would end it in a day. Not a chance.
But the worst part of this clip is how little Trump actually knows about US history.
Saigon was the capital of the US allied South Vietnam. After the US lost the war and retreated (which is exactly what we will eventually do in Iran) Northern Vietnam united the country and changed the name from Saigon to Ho Chi Minh City.
Shocking a US President makes this basic of a mistake but then again, nothing is shocking with the amount of sheer nonsense coming out of Trump's mouth every day 🤦♂️

@AndyBxxx I was SO excited to be moving to be near my daughter, to spend whatever time I have left on this earth…but I was over the moon to know they had a CI in Buffalo….until, I found out it was closed down…because of the xenophobia and lies about China. I thought FINALLY I can practice speaking and have live teachers help me with my calligraphy and Traditional painting. Despite them closing down the Institute though, they still have a fairly large Chinese community…I’ve already made a list of organizations and cultural spots I plan to visit when I get there. 😁❤️🇨🇳☮️
While I was learning Chinese, we used to love the Confucius Institute because they'd give us free text books so we didn't have to buy them from the university.
I remember in my city, the Confucius Institute had native Chinese speaking volunteers who could help with our study, and practice chatting and so on.
When it was time for Chinese exams, which are super difficult for native English speakers, they'd do their best to help us go over our class material etc.
Absolutely invaluable.
Sometimes we could also take classes making dumplings and traditional fans and other arts. It was fun because you could learn new Chinese words and phrases at the same time.
And I can tell you this: never once was politics brought up, let alone anything else apart from our study.
Seeing that the US has classified Confucius Institutes as a national security risk literally made me laugh out loud.
Honestly, what is up with the US and why are they adament on accelerating their own descent so freaking quickly?
We've always known that the West, especially the US-led West, was declining, but I could never have guessed it would happen this fast, and it would be completely and utterly at their own hand.
The US is scared of shadows, and it's freaking hilarious. 🤣

HEY #MAGA?? WHY does your Dear Leader keep lying to you? (Hint: watch Friday’s rally speech…he tells you, AGAIN.). Here’s a VERY easy one he keeps repeating! Oh, and have you heard if we get our DOGE refunds and Tariffs Rebates at the same time as the $5000 election bribe? 🤷🏼♀️
Trump: "It's interesting -- China makes the windmills, but try finding a wind farm in China. There is no such."
(China has the largest wind power capacity in the world!)
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trump's claim in the video that China has no wind farms is false. China has the world's largest installed wind capacity by far, roughly 4x that of the US (over 500 GW vs ~160 GW).

JACKPOT!! All I could think of listening to Pie was “a 2026 George Carlin speech”! I had JUST Finished writing a tweet, with @SecRubio talking about how absent any sense of proper morals or values are now in the US after his insane ICC announcement. We have spent decades, mostly falsely accusing other countries, like China, of being militant, corrupt, oppressed, having THE WORST extensive human right’s violations?! BULLSHIT! It’s PROJECTION, HYPOCRISY…and worse, USING those LIES to try and justify our own crimes. I just hope these monsters are held accountable one day…for destroying their own country for their own personal wealth and power. 🤬🤢

THIS is insane…in other words, a daily occurrence coming from Trump’s insane regime. The orange plague bruised his thin skin when he didn’t win the Nobel…again. (Rightly)
But I have a MUCH better idea @SecRubio …instead of sanctioning the ICC…HOW ABOUT, WE STOP committing war crimes and STOP supporting and protecting those who do?!?
I’m an old boomer, and watching my country lose ANY semblance of proper morals and values the past 11 years has devastated me. Watching YOU and others bow down to the most corrupt, psychotic, perpetual victim-in-chief, literally makes me sick. You all are on the WRONG side of history, and ONE DAY, there WILL be accountability.
I actually had some respect for you years ago, in my home state. Today? You can’t even be honest about your own parents…they left Cuba BEFORE the revolution…they did NOT “bravely escape from communism.” 🙄. SHAME ON YOU! BEING obsessed with your own money and power, putting it ABOVE ALL ELSE, including the American people you have sworn to protect? SHAME!!
Secretary of State Marco Rubio declares that the Trump administration is done negotiating with the International Criminal Court and is now prepared to dismantle it if necessary.
In a forceful statement, Rubio announced sweeping new U.S. sanctions on the ICC itself—banning American transactions with the court, cutting off its resources, and aiming to cripple its ability to operate. He stated plainly: “President Trump will never allow the International Criminal Court to prosecute Americans. Either the ICC will end its threats, or we will end the ICC.”
Rubio emphasized that the United States has never joined the ICC, does not recognize its jurisdiction over American citizens, service members, or leaders, and views the court as a rogue, politicized body that threatens U.S. sovereignty. He called on allies who are ICC members to rein in the institution and warned that the U.S. will continue its campaign “brick by brick” until Americans are no longer under threat.
This marks a major escalation after earlier targeted sanctions on individual ICC judges and officials. The move is framed as a defense of national sovereignty against a court that has pursued investigations involving U.S. personnel and key allies.

Also: psych’s would use “PROJECTION” to describe our US media, politicians and military; accusing China of being militarily aggressive, wanting to take over the world, violently, turn everyone into the stereotypical evil, genocidal communists we are taught about since we were young.
In other words, every accusation is an admission.
Take, for example, the FALSE claims that the US media continues to report to this day about Chinese Uyghurs. “Human Rights Violations”.
Yet…for some strange reason, that same media and even international media, rarely utter a word about OUR human rights violations at immigration detention camps, or “concentration camps” where immigrations rights organizations have said over 75% of those detained have NO criminal history. Then, there are our deportations…sending Central American LEGAL Asylum seekers..to the Congo, in the midst of a civil war.
THAT is “Projection”; falsely accusing China of something that WE are actively doing. There’s obviously many other examples of this.

UGGHHH!! AS I lay here in pain, I came across this video. 😡. SO MUCH MORE to be done…so little time. I left this comment-IF it wasn’t deleted.
WHY SHOULD we get anything? Tariffs, sanctions, fake accusations…Taiwan is accepted by every other country except Israel as a part of China-One China, Two Systems has been recognized publicly AND on our State Dept’s Taiwan page-UNTIL Last Feb (despite the anti-China, pro-military industrial complex messages) for 50yrs as per the Shanghai Communique, an agreement WRITTEN in the US, agrees to respect the One China policy, China’s sovereignty, AND, to STAY OUT of China’s domestic issues. Oh, and over $1billion of our tax dollars, each year, goes to media organizations to reward them for ANYTHING “Anti-China”, even if it is easily proven untrue. (I can provide the bill number and title)
Do you understand that China has had a “people’s democracy”, (with elections…their People’s Congress is actually run more like a Parliamentary system. OH..a BIG difference? Money in elections and lobbying are considered CRIMES! ). Their economic system is closer to European/Canada/Australia.
Sorry; we have been lied to for decades about China. WHY? Because they have been our MOST profitable enemy, and the billionaires in our military industrial complex will do almost anything to make sure they STAY our perpetual evil, commie enemies.
My precious late son spent over 12yrs in, traveling through and working in China. I’m an old boomer who had been completely brainwashed by the evil commie narrative. Through my son and on my own, I have met many, MANY incredible people-Chinese citizens, Taiwanese, and dozens of ex-pats, from the West, East, South… I don’t know a single ex-pat…well, I take that back..a few have become extremely wealthy joining the MIC’s anti-China campaigns. But NORMAL Ex-pats who hold values of RESPECT, COMPASSION, LOVE, Human Rights, anti-violence, anti-corruption, helping each other reach our greatest potential helps EVERYONE….THOSE Ex-Pats? They LOVE China, the people, the culture, the values. I know some who would never leave China-after finding out the TRUTH.
Who am I? I’m just a dying old boomer…my Son had planned on bringing me back to China with him…before he passed away here in 2021. While I continue to outlive my doctor’s prognosis’s…when I hear other Americans..supposed “progressives”, speak like you have…it breaks my heart. My Son’s legacy should be waking people up to the decades of lies we’ve been told. Wikileaks was one of my breaking points..finding out all the things our country has done to try and “destabilize” China. WHY? Because our corporate owners do NOT want competition. They want the ONE “Superpower” status, NOT a MULTIPOLAR world. After all, what is the engine of our economy? Weapons and war. We refused to heed President Dwight D Eisenhower’s prescient warning in 1961.
I HIGHLY recommend looking at China with an open mind. I can recommend books, people to follow or talk to. I understand we likely won’t change the narrative before I leave this lifetime. But anything I can do to open Americans eyes…I can promise, it will be the best thing you could ever do for yourself.
And before I get accused…I have never received anything except love and friendships for trying to educate people. I live on a very small fixed income, in a tiny one bedroom apartment. I had more at one time…but when you are blessed with a rare genetic disorder which causes issues as you age…and you live in a country where healthcare, housing, food…are PRIVILEGES, NOT Human Rights…well, just trying to stay alive is just too expensive.🤷🏼♀️

Hey @georgegalloway , …still here, beating the Docs ‘ prognostics.. As far as Nukes-YES, RUN TOWARDS. However, a nuclear vs non-nuclear nation? I disagree. Just look at the US since the 50’s, our military industrial complex demanding constant wars, perpetual enemies. How many have we “won”? S Korea? Vietnam? Afghanistan? Iraq? Iran? Libya? I KNOW that’s not the full list; but, you get the idea. Also, at this point, I would put the use of nukes by our severely mentally ill, frontal-temporal dementia, madman-in-chief MUCH more likely than Putin to use them. And it should terrify EVERYONE that, as Trump decompensates, his anger, unpredictability, fear and insecurities will continue to ramp up.
Never would have believed that at almost 67, I’d be praying for my own demise. But…here we are. 🤷🏼♀️

THIS IS DISGUSTING! SHAME on you @PeteHegseth !! This man honorably served 17yrs..and YOU are punishing him for FREE SPEECH?!? I assume it’s to make an example…you know, so all the other times you force these men and women to perform WAR CRIMES, OR violate our CONSTITUTION…THEY will keep their mouths shut and stay in line? You idiots are SO transparent.
That OATH actually means what it says to millions of Americans who have taken it.

🐀|Netanyahu addressed empty chairs at the UN. Representatives from across the globe walked out. They were not forced out; they left of their own accord.
They refused to listen to a war criminal recite lies.
Empty chairs. These were empty chairs that America’s Security Council veto could not fill. Empty chairs that Europe’s silence could not mask. Empty chairs that the Arab regimes’ double games could not buy back.
70,000 corpses in Gaza lay rotting. Hospitals in Lebanon were burning. 168 girls from Minab lay in their graves. Yemen’s 1,200 mosques lie in ruins.
The United States has not left, for it is complicit. Yet, as it sits there, it cannot fill the empty chairs because those empty chairs represent the world. And the world is turning away from Israel.
Netanyahu, your audience consists of empty chairs; ours is history.

I have ALWAYS loved this story! I remember in 2013, my precious late Son sent me a documentary on President Xi. It was so completely different from what American propaganda was saying. I remember feeling proud for the people of China; even jealous. I think the ONLY US President that I ever voted for and felt Pride that he was truly a man from, and of the People? My first vote-President Jimmy Carter. 😔 ❤️🇨🇳☮️
"You were the first Americans I had ever met, so to me, you are America."
That was what 🇨🇳 President Xi said to his friends in Iowa 41 years ago, when he visited 🇺🇸 the US for the first time.
In 1985, Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Communist Party of China Zhengding County Committee in Hebei Province, led a delegation to Iowa, where he forged a deep friendship with local people.
The importance of people-to-people exchange 🤝
