We are a fascist state when we have ICE agents not in uniforms and hiding their faces behind masks. That is right. We have a law enforcement agency that is running around more like the Gestapo of Nazi Germany than what we are supposed to have and what is valued in America. We are sending not only undocumented immigrants but also asylum seekers and foreigners on student visas to detention camps here and on foreign soil. They are just being snatched off the streets with no due process. This is not the America I grew up in. This is nowhere to be found in the religion I learned and practiced in my youth. This is like fascism.

Every day, we seem to hear the term “Extreme Left Judges.” It doesn’t matter whether it is a judge appointed by a Republican president or a Democratic president. If that judge disagrees with any of Trump's executive orders, he or she is being branded as a “Radical Judge”. These so-called “Rogue Judges” are being attacked by much of the Republican Party besides the Trump Administration. The Republicans want to impeach these so-called “Rogue Judges”. Are there so-called “Rogue Judges”? I am sure that there are, but I would think those are the Judges that don’t believe in the Constitution.  Are some of these Judges that oppose Trump Judges that have gone Rogue? I don’t think so for the simple reason that the President of the United States does not make laws. That is the job of Congress. We are a Constitutional Republic, and we have three equal Branches of Government: the Legislative, the Judicial, and the Executive. We are not a Monarchy, and we are not a Dictatorship.

If any administration wanted to fix a problem, that problem should be fixed by Congress writing and passing legislation and the President signing the legislation, making it law. That is how our system is supposed to work. I have written before when it came to immigration and securing our border; it is the job of Congress to solve that problem. Can Congress work with the Executive branch? Sure, it can, and we are a stronger country when it does. Congress in 2024 negotiated a non-partisan immigration reform that was proposed by the Senate. The Republican controlled House didn’t even bring it up for debate because Donald Trump didn’t want to lose his campaign issue of immigration and border control. I know that it is popular to say that it was a problem that Biden created, but I will come right out and say that it is a lie. It is a problem that Congress has failed to solve and has failed to solve for most of my lifetime. The fact that Donald Trump, who was a private citizen at the time, could instruct our congress not to do their job to me is one of the more concerning things that happened. Congress's inability to even try to do its job has directly led to the clash between the Courts and the Executive Branch.

Trump is in battle with the Justices in many areas and but none is more glaring than his sweeping immigration reforms and his mass deportation. Trump is claiming very broad executive power that I have seen no President try to exercise in my lifetime. U. S. District Judge Beryl Howell stated the Trump administration of “ongoing improper encroachments” of Trump’s executive power sounds “like a talking point from a member of Congress rather than a legal brief from the United States Department of Justice”. She states further it “reflects a grave misapprehension of our constitution order.” She went on to say “Adjudicating whether an Executive Branch exercise of power is legal, or not, is actually the job of the federal courts, and not of the President or the Department of Justice, though vigorous and rigorous defense of executive action is expected and helpful to the courts in resolving legal issues”.

I find all of this disturbing. These are not rogue judges. These are judges that are doing their job. What has happened to our Three Branches of Government? I have heard that we are slowly becoming a dictatorship. I have heard our government is being run by Fascists. If you look at what is supposed to happen by the Constitution and what is happening, you should be concerned, too, because that is exactly what the end of democracy looks like. If you look at the Constitution, you would know that no single President is given a mandate by the people just because he is elected. All elected Presidents are mandated by the Constitution to work with the other branches of government, and it is the President that refuses to work with the other branches that has gone rogue.  That is what I feel we have today. Where is Congress? It is their job to write the laws, and it is their job to control the budget. It is their job to do oversight. Congress, allowing a President to try and accumulate the power Trump is trying to accumulate is why we look like a dictatorship. For the President to write executive orders trying to dictate to not only government agencies but also to businesses is an act of a Dictator and not a President. His anti-DEI legislation and his immigration legislation are downright bigoted and racist.

What has caused this? One word: Money! We have what I like to call a Ruling class. Yes, people with money feel that money should give them more power than the rest of us. We see billionaires like Musk trying to buy elections. Musk is giving away money, yet in Georgia, you can’t even give water to a person waiting in line for hours to vote. Most of our mainstream media is owned by billionaires who are controlling what we read and what we hear. Our free speech is being restricted daily. We have Supreme Court Justices taking a lavish vacation that are being paid for by billionaires. I once had a friend say to me that billionaires own us. Low wages and benefits that don’t follow you is a kind of slavery that has made those same billionaires richer, yet Congress does nothing to raise the minimum wage. We have a two-party system where one of the parties is owned by billionaires and no longer wants to abide by the Constitution. Judges are not going rogue. Our Congressional Republic is disappearing before our eyes.
