Don’t Blink or You’ll Miss it!
Today has been QUITE A DAY in the good ol’ USA!
- While the clock ticks closer to “shut down time” (midnight Tuesday night) Trump shows no interest in protecting Americans’ healthcare …
- Mike Johnson, our Speaker of the House, thwarted justice and single handedly delayed the release of the Epstien files by refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, the AZ Democrat who won her election by 40 points, because with her, a bi-partisan group of House Reps can force the Epstein vote to the floor …
- And then there’s the economy …
“A shutdown will also very likely delay the collection and release of some key economic data – including Friday’s jobs report and monthly readings on inflation. That could force CEOs, investors and even Federal Reserve officials to fly blind when making key decisions.”
CNN - Government shutdowns usually don’t hurt the economy. This time could be different
Also today:
Trump sided with Netanyahu to jam a 20-point proposal to end the war in Gaza down the throats of the Palestinians,
The Daily Beast reported that the Michigan Mormon Church shooter was a Trump supporter,
and Trump began the process of sending armed, masked, thugs in military uniforms to Chicago, Portland and Memphis.
But the thing that REALLY caught my eye was this …
Tomorrow, Trump and Hegseth are holding a meeting in DC with the top 800 high ranking US senior commanders.
Meaning, they have ordered these leaders to leave their posts around the world, travel to DC (at tax-payer expense), and sit through an hours-long talk by Trump, for the purpose of … wait for it …
“Getting the horses into the stable and whipping them into shape.”
At first, Hegseth claimed the meeting would be about the four elements of the Warrior Ethos … but, as anyone who has ever served knows, our troops know the Warrior Ethos far better than Hegseth and Trump ever will.
Later, the comment about the horses leaked out. Even though, the horse plan may be CLOSER to the truth, it still doesn’t explain why it has to be in person instead of remote. Why is Trump spend millions of tax-payer money on travel and jeopardizing our security by bringing all of the tip brass (including Trump) into the same room?
What’s REALLY going to happen tomorrow?
A test of their ability to keep a straight face while enduring several hours of Trump’s ramblings?
A videoed oath sharing ceremony that will be used to blackmail/control each of them in the future?
… Or, heaven forbid, a gas chamber?
These questions will all be answered tomorrow, so …
don’t blink or you’ll miss it.
Thank you, Freedom Writers, for helping us save our democracy,

October 18th - The stakes keep getting higher!
As we tumble headlong into the Trump Dictatorship, the imperative for courageous resistance only increases.
If you joined us in Indivisible’s national call on September 18th, you’ve already heard the stirring presentation by Greisa Martinez Rosas. If you missed it, you can watch it and the entire meeting on YouTube HERE (Her presentation starts at minute 33:00).
I DID NOT COME TO YOU TONIGHT WITHOUT FEAR. I CAME WITH IT, BUT I AM NOT BOWED BY IT.
NOT BEYOND STRUGGLE, BUT BORN OF IT.
BECAUSE I HAVE LEARNED WHAT SO MANY ANCESTORS KNEW, THAT COURAGE IS NOT THE ABSENCE OF FEAR, IT’S CHOOSING TO MOVE FORWARD DESPITE. IT.
AND THAT KIND OF COURAGE, IT’S THE KIND OF COURAGE THAT SHAKES UP WANNABE KINGS.
IT’S THE KIND OF COURAGE THAT BREAKS CHAINS.
AND IT’S THE KIND OF COURAGE THAT IS NOT BUILT ALONE.
IT’S BUILT IN COMMUNITY. TOGETHER. RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW …
Greisa Martin

OMG I'm a horse trainer and the problem with "whipping the horses into shape" is IT DOESN'T WORK.
What it does is cause the horses to shut down to block out the stress and while the ignorant jackass with the whip thinks the horses are now tame and obedient in fact they are on the brink of fight or flight - unpredictable and dangerous.
Of course this is an analogy but why would humans react any differently to being treated with so much disrespect.
What a deviant, totally unqualified asshole little petie hogsbreath is!
