This is the warning I thought that I would say a few things as Donald Trump's incoherent, fascistic news conference continues to onferral. Standing on either side of him is the Attorney General of the United States, the galactically unfit Pam Bondi, really a Fox News television character actress who is boycotting that network because she went on and talked about the fact that she was reading the Epstein files and is now deeply implicated in the cover up of that.

The movement of Gislaine Maxwell and Pam Baldendy will ultimately be a person deeply implicated with Pam Bondi and Donald Trump and the rest of them free with presidential pardon Gawaine Maxwell from federal custody. Standing next to Donald Trump is the inept and incompetent Secretary Area of Fence, the most unfit leader of the armed forces of the United States and the entire history of the country bar none.

This is a man a company to work every day by his shadow, his third wife, his Jenny, the woman referred to by the Pentagon staff as Yoko Ono. Her soul responsibility besides outfitting the makeup room for Secretary Champagne Pete's frequent television appearances is to make sure the secretary's pants stay on lest the wives of the Navy captains on seed duty be in danger, and to make certain that the bottle stays away from Champagne Pete's thirsty lips.

He is an incompetent that beggars description. Of course, the placement of classified information and war plan ends onto a signal chat. We see him every day, blustering, sneering, abusing his authority and position. What we see today is something deeply ominous, frankly terrifying, and let's unpack it. First. Washington, DC is the Federal district. It is not a state,

It is not an American territory. The federal district was created by land donated from the states of Maryland and Virginia, and the federal capital was named for the father of the country, George Washington, who twice, when having the opportunity to be a king, walked away from power. The monument in the middle of the city commemorates George Washington, the father of the country. At the time of his death, he was eulogized as first in war, first in peace,

first in the hearts of his countrymen. And when you look at the Washington Monument, you'll notice that there's a line of discoloration about a third of the way up and there The monument sat unfinished for almost twenty five years because the Pope had donated marble for its construction, along with the heads of states of many other nations. But the know nothings threw that marble into the Potomac River protesting against Irish immigration, protesting against German immigration, protesting

against Catholic immigration. And that Catholic marble was thrown in to the Potomac. And the man that Champagne Pete has reinstalled on a marble pedestal, a middling Confederate general named Albert Pike, was a no nothing, an anti Catholic bigot. Pete Hegseth is a Christian nationalist. His crazed pastor, doing an interview on CNN in the last forty eight hours, doesn't believe women should have the right to vote. A real life handmade's tail character, a real life want to

be commander. And so what we see here on Furrowing today is ominous. It's dangerous. This is the face of American fascism. And as was long predicted ago apocryphally attributed to Upton Saint Clair, that when fascism came to America, I would be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross.

And so today the American people are subjected to a level of lying that's on precedented, a level of concoction that is beyond belief, as Donald Trump talks about a crime apocalypse as a justification to militarize under federal authority the nation's capital to wipe out the slums. As he says, now, I he's the founding of the country and the founding

father of the country. Because it's important to appreciate that when the city was built, the White House, which would one day be the home of the forty fourth President, a black man, capital of the United States, saved from destruction by terrorists in two thousand and one by ordinary Americans of all walks of life, gay and straight, black

and white. It was built by slaves. It would be redeemed by men like Marian Luther King and John Lewis, and that slavery would be eradicated in a war of liberation against Southern slaveholders secessionists who these people venerate but tried to destroy the union, the Washington and Adams and

Jefferson gave the country that imperfect union. And so today in twenty twenty five, in the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary year of the country, what we're witnessing peer is a clown pack Fox News characters, Jeanine Piro, Cash Bentel. The conspiracy here is Pam Bondi, pie Hegsa Cash Btel. And we see this all white cadre about to impose order without the will of the community, without the will of the people who live in Washington, d C. On

the black majority. And that should be noted, they should be noted up front that we shouldn't dance around the racist overturns, the racist overtones, and the clear and loud usurpation of the rights of the people of Washington, d C. To have elected leaders that make decisions in their city instead, as Trump indicated, Washington, d C. Is about the beginning. And this will spread out all over the country. Everywhere there's a crime. Everywhere, something has has been happened that's

an evil. Donald Trump will have a rationale to asserve more power as the cure over and over and over again. And what you're witnessing at this news conference today is a collection of some of the most dishonest public officials, unfit public officials that have ever been lining up to lie in the further into of the interests of the power of a single man. And so in this moment, when DC crime rates are down and dropping, Donald Trump

has deployed the military. Donald Trump has told the American people the crime is so bad despite crime rates droppings, that he has to deploy the army to occupy the nation's capital, and that it's an urgent enough issue that soon it will be coming to a city near you. Led by Field Marshall, Pete Hegseat and Pam Bondi and Judge Janine and all the Fox detritus. What we are

watching play out on international television on CNN. And if that's what you're watching, like I am with Pam Bondy Shining Cross as she's involved in building concentration camps where immigrant detainees are abused and tortured by personnel of the federal government of the United States on orders of some

of the senior officials of the government. As Donald Trump said, you spit, we hit, foreshadowing that fascistic use of force, foreshadowing more abuses of power, foreshadowing his luss to unleash the violence of the state against people, any people, so long as it's in the name of Trump's control and authority. And so what a dangerous moment we have arrived at year before the middle of August, in the year twenty

twenty five. Now, in the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary year of the United States of America, Washington, DC is to be an occupied city, a federalized city. The rights of the black majority have been stripped away, disenfranchised out of necessity for security. Seems interesting how that goes together. In order to be safe, the black majority of Washington must be less free. Doesn't seem quite right. As we approach that anniversary of doctor King's speech about a dream

he had that seems to be regressing. But again, as he pointed out, the moral arc of the universe is long, and it bends towards justice, which means in that long arc, in that bend, there any long, flat sessions that can cast off a mirage that show regression, when in fact what they indicate is the necessity for fighting and struggling to maintain the trajectory of that arc. But let's be clear, what is being seen today is about one thing, power,

and there's a proposition that we're watching play out. Donald Trump's policies are rejected by a clear majority of Americans, and yet Trump, through his aggressive maximalism, grows more powerful by the hour as he grows less popular by the day, and the Democratic Party maintains a flat line of weakness in the face of aggressions that cannot be tolerated in countenance. There must be a react hink this that is beyond an appearance by Democratic leaders members of Congress on MSNBC.

There must be a meeting of governors. There must be a caucus of political leaders to announce in a compact that they will not stand for a rising federal tyranny under the dictatorship of Donald Trump and his cabinet of loons and losers, of conspiracy, dranks, cranks, nutjobs, and liars.

The goons assembled to announce what effectively is martial law as a distraction to the scandal that draws effort nearer his friendship with the most notorious child sex traffic or pedophile of the twenty first century, and his right hand, his accomplice Gislaying Maxwell. There's a lot of movie plots that ponder what would happen if a terrorist had a

nuclear weapon and they could blackmail the president. It seems like on any given day these days that Gislaine Maxwell is a person who has a nuclear weapon of sorts and a relationship with the President, who gets to use powers in an announcement of a sea of white faces to impose control and order on the black people of Washington, DC, in the name of the security of as Homeland Security puts it. Our culture, and what culture might that be?

The culture that venerates the Confederate General, the Confederate cause, that venerated the cause of racial domination and supremacy. Here in twenty twenty five, those values, those things are ascended, and what's descending down on all of us is the black curtain of fascism. Trump's heavy hand is everywhere in the economy, me in your business. It's there to punish, to seek retribution. There is to be noice sent just sick a fancy, just the gleamy eyed zealotry of the people.

Like Pam Bondy with her shiny little cross upon her chest, standing next to Pete Hegseth, a certifiable whack job on national television announcing against all of the statistics and all of the facts, the necessity to an essence militarily occupied Washington, d C. As the test case. It's the test case to clean up the slums and get rid of the homeless.

And I wonder, just wonder with what he is Pete Hagseth would give the order to line up some of those homeless against the wall or the Pam BONDI would or cash ptel because what you're seeing today is a gathering of little likements from the White House soon to be desecrated by the ballroom for the man who just with the stroke of a pen disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of Americans, took away their vote, took away their rights,

and occupied their city while calling them criminals. Welcome to Trump's America, the America where the law is what Judge Genine from Fox News says it is. It is a most appalling moment. This is the warning.
