Trump has learned the wrong lesson from his mentor Netanyahu, who among other war crimes has deliberately destroyed over 1 million olive trees in Gaza—a key source of food for the civilian population.

Last weekend, anticipating a judge’s restraining order on Monday, Trump cut down over 400 trees in a beautiful area of green refuge for Washington DC city residents, aiming to convert an affordable public golf course into a private luxury club for professional events and his rich friends.

Why hasn’t the mainstream press written a feature on Veterans for Peace which has a hundred chapters around the country, is very active on the ground, over the social media, and even in some court rooms? Does anybody know the answer to this?

Women’s professional basketball teams are becoming advertising billboards on their players’ uniforms, just like NASCAR cars. The Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell have “Salesforce” in big letters under, for example, Indiana 22 on Clark’s Jersey.

Other than just bad taste and greed of the teams’ billionaire owners, can these athletes ever speak out about the downsides of these corporations, such as Lilly’s drugs?

The giant advertising industry, with so many portals into our lives, receives very little scrutiny, even though it makes possible the enormous profits of Silicon Valley’s child exploitation and Data Center Corporate Giants among other sine qua nons.

The manipulation of the American taxpayer has no boundaries to curtail making them pay for weapons of mass destruction as part of the Israeli government’s genocide inflicted on hundreds of thousands of Gazan civilians—infants, children, mothers and fathers.

Taxpayer Revolts are usually on tax rates—but it’s time for a taxpayer revolt on how our taxes are being illegally used to destroy the lives of innocent women, men and children abroad and take away those needed revenues from being invested back into our communities at home.

Who defends the US taxpayer? No one in the Executive Branch controlled by Tyrant Trump AKA Netanyahu’s toady. No one in the federal judicial branch who rules taxpayers have no standing to sue to challenge such mass murders.

Why won’t the media call a crime a crime? This is in reference to Trump’s seizure of Venezuela (“we’re in charge now”) and the preposterous mega oil deal.

Both are illegal because they were not authorized by the Congress under Article 4 of the Constitution. Both violate the criminal statute called the Anti-Deficiency Act because they are involving the spending of taxpayer dollars unauthorized by Congress.
