Something I have written many times on social media is that when our Justice Department becomes a tool of the oppressor, we are losing our Democracy. Dictators have always used the Justice Department to oppress the people. Germany had its Gestapo and the SS, which were used to kill millions. Stalin had his NKVD, which would later become the KGB, that he used to kill millions and consolidate his power. China has its Chenguang, which is known for its violent methods. That is how things work in a country that is run by a dictator.  They use their personal Justice Departments to suppress and eliminate threats to their power. Is that now what is happening in this country? I swear, Trump wants to be just like the Communist and Fascist dictators.

Trump seems to want to use our Justice Department more as his personal goon squad than a department that serves the people. He is starting with ICE. ICE is an agency that was formed after 9/11 and put under the Department of Homeland Security. Before 9/11, we had the U.S. Customs Service and the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, which were transformed into the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). It is intended to keep the country safe from terrorists, which is why it is always important that.
Trump calls our undocumented immigrants “terrorists”. Are any of them really terrorists? I don’t think so because I think an actual terrorist would be paraded out there by Trump to justify his terrorization of undocumented immigrants. Trump has said they were drug runners for the cartels. Again, I would think that they would be paraded out there on every news channel to justify Trump's terrorism of immigrants. Trump has said he wants to get rid of all these criminals who make our nation unsafe. Again, if they were criminals, they would be paraded out there for all of us to see, with Trump expecting us to thank him for keeping our streets safe. These people are getting caught coming out of Home Depot and at places of their employment. ICE is not raiding drug safehouses; they are raiding schools, restaurants, and other places where they work. I have seen 10 and 12-year-old children who pose no threat to our national security with their hands zip-tied behind their backs.

On September 11, 2001, our Democracy was attacked by terrorists who meant to terrorize the entire nation, and they succeeded, and we have been acting like that ever since. We have been willing to give up our freedoms and privacy for the sake of security. What is happening with ICE is not making our nation safer. Terrorizing people that just want to earn a living and are willing to do all the crappy jobs that regular Americans don’t want to do. They come here, spend money in our stores, and pay taxes. They contribute to society, and the services they provide add value to every community. The problem is, they are not white. Musk was here on a student Visa and dropped out of college. At that point, he should have left the country because he was here illegally, along with his brother, I think. Now he is the richest man on earth, but if he had been made to obey the law as Trump sees it, he wouldn’t even be here. Musk's advantage was that he was white. Trump's own wife was working as a model before she had permission to work here. She made thousands of dollars while working illegally in the United States. Here again, she was white and was also protected by a rich white guy, Donald Trump. The hypocrisy is amazing. To me, what we see Trump bring to the table is Hatred, Racism, Bigotry, and threats of violence. It is a sad group of people who have so much hate that they support that kind of man.

As I have stated many times on January 6th, 2021, our Capitol and our democracy were attacked by domestic terrorists who were trying to stop Congress from performing their constitutional duty to certify the 2020 presidential election. People have called it an insurrection, a riot, and if you are a Republican, you lie and say it was just a bunch of tourists. 150 police officers were injured by those people who stormed the Capitol and wanted to stop Congress from doing their constitutional duty. Not only the country, but the entire world, watched in horror as the screams of the mob yelling “Hang Mike Pence”. Our outgoing President was watching it on TV, and some reports suggested he was cheering on the mob. It was Trump’s job to protect the Constitution and to protect Congress from harm while doing their constitutional duty. I don’t believe Trump ever really called the National Guard to restore peace, and he let the terrorists continue to attack our Capitol police for over 3 hours. Now you turn toward Los Angeles today, and you see a very peaceful protest going on. Still, Trump not only illegally calls out the National Guard because the Governor didn’t ask him, but he is also illegally deploying the Marines to the area. During all the protests in LA, there has been less violence than if the Los Angeles Lakers had won the NBA championship. In both cases, he has violated his oath to protect and defend the Constitution. These are impeachable offenses, but we know that Republicans will not uphold their oaths of office just like Trump. Trump has stated that he supports our police, but on January 6th, 2021, we saw that was just talk, and 150 police officers were injured by a mob sent by Donald Trump. He has shown that he is a man who does not believe in the Constitution; he does not believe in the law, and he doesn’t support the law. To those who voted for him, I ask you, do you believe in the Constitution?

Our Police take an Oath of Office just like the President and Congress. The oath of office for the Los Angeles police reads, “I do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California and the Charter of the City of Los Angeles, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of (inserting the name of the office) according to the best of my ability”. It has been established by the courts that due process is a Constitutional Right of all persons. ICE has been ignoring that Constitutional right. By the Police helping ICE, they too may be breaking their Oath of Office, and I think that warrants an investigation by the city of Los Angeles and the State of California. If our police don’t uphold their oath of office, there should be consequences. It is our Constitution and our laws that govern us, and the police have sworn to protect those. The police are just turning themselves into the tools of the oppressor, and it is their fault.

This is my continued search on whether Trump has the Character to be President. A person I know stated “His character matters bc it is in the character I believe he has the leadership, knowledge, wisdom, experience, compassion, integrity that will lead us on the path towards a more safe, secure, healthy, prosperous, free world than the direction we are headed.” My last blog looked at his character as integrity from a legal standpoint before he even was elected President. From a legal standpoint there is no way I would have thought he had the integrity to be President. Now I will look at some of his Moral Integrity and Compassion that should be there from the man that sits in the White House.  I have to say something about Donald Trump, he sure is a believer in the institution of marriage. He likes marriage so much that he has said “I do” three times. What his problem with marriage is the actual vow that he has to take. You know that love, honor, and cherish until death do us part. ...
  I will tell you that I am no Christian, but I will tell you that I was raised in a Christian household. I was baptized, went to Sunday School, was Confirmed, and attended church into adulthood. Because of that upbringing, I still think about the morals I learned from that religious upbringing. To this day, I judge right and wrong by what I learned in that church. There has been a little bit of a dispute between The Pope of the Catholic Church, the Trump administration, the deportations, and Catholic convert Vance and his use of the concept from the medieval Catholic theology known in Latin as “Ordo Amoris”. I guess Vance has said the concept delineates a hierarchy of care – to family first, followed by neighbor, community, fellow citizen, and lastly those elsewhere. Being raised a Protestant I had never heard of it but then the Lutheran Church has no medieval saint.   I searched on the web and asked if “Ordo Amoris” was in the Bible and the short answer would be “no”. It i...
  MAGA called Biden a dictator, a Tyrant, a Nazi, a Communist, and the head of the Biden Crime Family. Biden was, of course, none of those things. Biden was a good Christian man who believed in God and the American system. When Biden said “God Bless America”, he meant it, whereas many politicians say, “God Bless America” only because they want your vote. Many people will say that Biden was weak. I don’t say that he was weak but I understand why some would say that. He believed in the system and he believed in the American people. It was our voice that was supposed to be important. It was not just his responsibility for our Democratic Republic to survive and flourish it was our responsibility too. Have we, as a country, lost our faith in our Democratic Republic? Have we lost the vision that was our Forefathers? Do today's Americans even understand what their vision was? What is a government by the People, of the People for the People?   Is that even close to what we have toda...
