For A REAL Positive Shift

It looks like the maga regime is suddenly changing its tune a little bit, but this does not mean much because its at a time when they are plummeting in the polls and are looking for votes, in order to get more funding for Ice, as well as for this year's elections.

ACTING BETTER, IN ORDER TO GET VOTES, IS NOT THE SAME AS BEING BETTER. SO POSITIVE SHIFTS, AT TIMES LIKE THIS, OFFER NO ASSURANCE FOR THE FUTURE.

I VOTE TO DEFUND ICE and then either completely abolish it or at least dismantle it and start over with far more extensive screening and training for its members, and with a pact to never again use it to flood or police our communities. We have local, state and federal law enforcement for that, and more funding and help should be given to them instead of using Ice in our communities.

As for my vote later this year; I am an Independent and not a fan of democrats or republicans, but I feel like I must do all I can to make sure that the maga regime does not continue to monopolize. I WILL NOT FORGET THE PAST YEAR, NO MATTER WHAT CHANGES THEY MAKE, JUST TO GET VOTES. My heart aches for all the people who have been being either distressed, traumatized or ethnically cleansed or killed by Trump's violent wars and threats and ice raids and thefts of lands or resources...etc. This hell cannot continue; masses of people, almost everywhere, have already been left with no sense of security - nothing to trust in, here in America, due to the behaviors of the republicans in charge! America can and should do FAR better than that, permanently - not just for a short time, in order to get votes.

I wish a positive shift were happening, at a time when votes were not needed, because this is what would give some desperately needed reassurance, but this is not the case right now. I will not forget the past year and its (still burning) negative effects on masses of lives here in America as well as in places like Palestine and Venezuela and Greenland and Canada and Iran and Syria and Nigeria and Lebanon...etc. And I cannot forget the fear I still feel due to the ice raids and the ongoing plight of the Palestinian people. Its all just sad as hell. I just want to cry every time I think of what our world has come to.

REAL AND PERMANENT positive change, AND recovery from the past year, must happen before I can start feeling better. And I think most people feel the same way.

"Detention Centers" or Concentration Camps?

 It appears that Ice is being used to target poor people, and abduct and imprison homeless people as well as masses of harmless immigrants, although they claim to be only going after violent criminal immigrants! And this has been being done with hate filled prejudice in the maga regime. Its just not right!

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF HARMLESS PEOPLE THEY HAVE ABDUCTED AND IMPRISONED INTO "DETENTION CENTERS"????

Minnesota is Now Being Blackmailed!

Directly after killing Alex Pretti, the Trump Regime is now saying that they will stop Ice operations IF Minnesota hands over information they want, including "access to state voter rolls" and state welfare information, which Minnesota is NOT obligated to give without court orders. It is shocking that American officials are using these sorts of extremely underhanded tactics here in America as well as abroad - tactics that hurt people and bring them to their knees and then basically says, 'do what I want or you will continue being hurt.' Its utterly despicable and should be illegal! But they seem to have no shame, which is also very disturbing. It all must be stopped.

What's next for ICE in Minnesota?

https://youtu.be/M1r5b_GDfjY?si=dmr-wtwZfyjiGw09

It appears that Ice is also being used to target poor people, and abduct and imprison homeless people, as well as masses of harmless immigrants! And they are doing it in inconsiderate and heartless and terrifying ways. Its just not right. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF HARMLESS PEOPLE THEY HAVE ABDUCTED AND IMPRISONED????

Alex Pretti Was Restrained and Beaten by Ice, BEFORE they Killed him!

I have not heard anyone talking about how several Ice men had literally pinned Alex to the ground and was holding him there while another one was beating him with an object, BEFORE they shot and killed him. I feel that this is an important part of this horrid situation, which should not be overlooked. Watch the Ice man on the left at the 56 min time on this video...

https://youtu.be/6dnkY8uGE0Q?si=CvS2J9BGxf5kyEXj&t=56

And all Alex was doing is videotaping to help make
sure that Ice was not going to hurt or kill anyone else!

Why is Minnesota Being Targeted?

I think the Minnesota area is being targeted, because a couple years ago I had a dream, which appeared to be forewarning of a huge forest fire dipping far down into that whole area from the Canadian border. And this fire appears to have been set to intentionally devastate that area. (This "fire" may be symbolic of what Trump is starting in Minnesota.)
    I wonder why that area would be targeted, and the only things I can think of are that there are a lot of Native American reservations up there. I hear that there is a lot of oil and minerals in that part of our country. Trump appears to be targeting Minnesota because it is a democrat run state that did not vote for him, and is also trying to start a civil war there, using Noem and thousands of mean Ice thugs... and now two Ice murders surrounded by obvious extreme dishonesty and lawlessness, in order to provoke people into fighting more violently...etc. (The Trump administration's lies are VERY disturbing. It is creepy that they lie so blatantly and obviously, as if trying to gaslight people and upset people.) I don't know how they live with themselves, as they terrorize most of Minnesota, and upset the rest of America, in this process. They must be stopped.

ALL TYPES OF HARMFUL TARGETING SHOULD BE STOPPED!

Ice Thugs Beat and Kill Alex Pretti!

updated 1-25-2026

This, like the Renee Good killing, looks like an angry murder. And Trump and Ice leaders are lying about it yet another time; immediately defending the Ice brutality and blaming and slandering the victim with the "terrorist" label, even though the videos prove otherwise. They again flipped key parts of this situation into the opposite of what it really was, claiming that Alex had "attacked" Ice. And they were tampering with evidence and trying to prevent local investigations, again. Local officials had to get a restraining order to prevent Ice leaders from tampering with evidence.
    Because the Minnesotans are video taping Ice activities, there are many recorded views of this Ice killing. Nobody has brought them all together for the full picture in one report yet, but this is the basics on how it played out...  Prior to the shooting, Alex Pretti was video taping Ice. An Ice man got angry with Alex and tried to intimidate him. Alex backed away and was totally non-confrontational. Then two women and Alex were videotaping Ice, when Ice men aggressively came after the woman and pushed her to the ground. Alex tried to help her, while the ice agents sprayed something in their faces (most likely pepper spray). Alex has his phone in one hand and the other trying to shield his face, he is not fighting back and is just trying to help the woman and protect himself. Then a group of ice men grab Alex away from the woman and shove him to the ground. At least three of them have Alex pinned to the ground as one repeatedly and violently hits Alex in the head with something. Then they notice that Alex has a gun on his hip and one of them reaches in to remove the gun from it's holster. AFTER they removed the gun they all suddenly lifted off of Alex and started shooting him...around 5-10 shots that killed Alex and left him in pools of blood on the street.

Oddly, most news reports cut out the part where Ice is beating Alex on the head after at least three of them have him pinned to the ground. Yet this is a VERY important part, because it shows Ice's violent ways. And I am having a hard time finding the video that fully and clearly shows the beating. But this one briefly shows part of it;  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dnkY8uGE0Q

In the best case scenario, they can say that some of the Ice men panicked after they realized Alex had a gun, and that some of them did not realize that the gun had been removed. BUT they ALL already had him pinned onto the ground with his hands out in front of him (obviously empty), so all they had to do is grab his hands and put them behind his back, in order to prevent any chance of him reaching for his gun, which is what ANY law enforcement person would do. But they didn't grab his hands - they actually lifted off of him, as if they knew he was not a threat, and then started shooting him.
   In the worse case scenario, a bunch of angry trigger happy Ice thugs attacked Alex, beat him and then ended up finding an excuse to murder him - a gun attached to his hip. This scenario is the reality that most people see in the videos, myself included. 

ALEX HAD TRULY NOT "ATTACKED" ICE AND WAS NOT A "TERRORIST" AND IT IS HORRIBLY WRONG THAT OUR OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN SO DISHONEST IN THIS SITUATION AS WELL AS IN RENEE GOOD'S. 

ALEX WAS AN OUTDOORSMAN WHO HAD A PERMIT TO CARRY A GUN AND HE HAD NOT PULLED IT FROM IT'S CASE AS THE ICE MEN ATTACKED HIM. ALEX WAS KNOWN AS A KIND HEARTED NURSE WHO GLADLY SERVED HIS COMMUNITY. ALEX COULD BE YOU OR ME OR ANYONE WHO CAN CARE TO HELP PEOPLE WHO ARE IN NEED, AND IS CONCERNED FOR SAFETY ENOUGH TO CARRY A GUN FOR POSSIBLE NEEDED SELF DEFENCE AS HE STOOD AGAINST VIOLENT BULLIES WHO HAD RECENTLY KILLED RENEE GOOD...ETC. 

This video shows two of the views of this killing and is the only one that shows what lead up to it. (Other videos show them beating him and also them removing the gun from Alex's hip...etc.) https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/witness-videos-of-the-fatal-shooting-of-alex-pretti/vi-AA1UZR3L?ocid=BingNewsVerp

This news broadcast took place directly after the killing, and it exposes one of the ways that Ice attacks and provokes people by rudely shoving them onto the ground and hitting them with pepper spray even when there is no threat and they are "behind the lines"...etc. https://youtu.be/kQmsZl5tqIM?si=5gPQc8ZDu6BT-cRL

THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IN AMERICA! IT MUST BE STOPPED.

The day before Ice murdered Alex I had a dream where someone was telling someone that "This Ice is not the Ice that America made....etc." I am not sure what this means. It could be several things. But no matter what, the violent Ice raids in Minnesota must be stopped. They are literally terrorizing and hurting masses of American citizens, and even killing some. There is something VERY wrong with Ice and their leadership, especially since their killings continue to be defended with such blatantly obvious lies.  Ice should at least be pulled out of Minesota right now. Not doing so is a clear indication of Trump wanting a violent civil war that he is using Ice to instigate.

I NOW FEEL THAT ICE SHOULD BE ABOLISHED, IN ORDER TO RESTORE SAFETY AND PEACE IN AMERICA.
AND OUR OTHER MILITARY FORCES SHOULD NOT BE FOLLOWING ORDERS THAT COME FROM LEADERS WHO'S HATE AND PREJUDICE IS USING THEM TO SEEK VENGEANCE ON HARMLESS PEOPLE...ETC. 

Minnesota Police Plea to Trump's Regime

As the Trump regime blames and degrades the victims of Ice brutality, instead of caring about how people feel, it just makes things worse. It appears that the vast majority of the people, whom Ice is abducting and imprisoning, are either harmless or innocent people, and many people are being terrorized and hurt in that process. Because of this, most community members are scared. So, I was glad to see this officer and others standing up for the people in a plea for Trump/Ice to choose a better way...

Minnesota professional Law Enforcement asks, "Can we find a way to do these things without scaring the hell out of our community members?"

Inside Ice's "Detention" Centers

Ice has been violently smashing in doors to people's homes and smashing windows out of people's cars, to abduct them - to tear them away from their families and loved ones and imprison them in "detention" centers. Over 70,000 people are now imprisoned in Trump's Ice detention centers, and most of them are surely harmless or innocent people!!! It ALL must be stopped. 

I cried as I watched the following video. These "detention" centers seem like nazi concentration camps or Israel's abusive "detention" prisons. It is so sad that harmless, and sometimes innocent, people are being terrorized and humiliated and treated like "garbage." And my instincts are telling me that far worse, than what is shown in the following video, is happening in some of those "detention" centers here in America...

The Wrong Song

The Wrong Song

copyright 1-19-26 Sharon R. Poet

When what you do is wrong,

Or how you do it is wrong,

Wrong is the name of the song.

If only you'd care to look

At the residual effects

And choose a better way.

But does it matter to you -

How many people you hurt

And what they feel or say?

When what you do is wrong,

Or how you do it is wrong,

Wrong is the name of the song.

What will it take for you to see

And aim for positive change?

How long - how much time?

It must happen right now,

Or in a yesterday perhaps,

For real peace to chime.

When what you do is wrong,

Or how you do it is wrong,

Wrong is the name of the song.

I sometimes feel sad for you.
Did anyone ever show you how
To care and do things right?
Do you even have the freedom
To change - to grow and heal -
To reach real truth and Light?

When what you do is wrong,
Or how you do it is wrong,
Wrong is the name of the song.

This poem was inspired by President Trump's behaviors.

HOW CAN YOU CLAIM TO CARE ABOUT AMERICA WHILE FILLING

IT WITH HATE AND PREJUDICE AGAINST FELLOW AMERICANS!!!???

DEMOCRATS ARE NOT "THE ENEMY" - THEY ARE YOUR FELLOW AMERICAN CITIZENS!
COLORED IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT "THE ENEMY"- THEY ARE FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS!
POOR PEOPLE ARE NOT THE ENEMY - THEY NEED KIND HELP NOT CONDEMNATION!

Genuinely patriotic people, who truly love America, appreciate the fact that the
United States has been built with immigrants from all walks of life and so has
always been filled with the interesting diversity that true freedom brings.

Mother of Diversity

copyright 1-19-26 Sharon R. Poet

Our religions, our ethnicity, and political views vary to a large degree, 

But we are all Americans who should protect our diverse "land of the free"

Without degrading or dividing and pitting some groups against the other.

We must be free to grow and evolve under the diversity that is our mother.

Don't shoot her! Don't kill her! Don't send her to a lonely unfit grave!

Just respect her and protect her for the freedoms that must be saved.

You should find your hearts and start caring about
 America at least enough to stop damaging it!!!

Just because my view is different from yours does not mean its wrong.

MLK Jr. Quotes that Apply to the Problems we are Faced with Today...

"We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now."

"Peace is not simply the absence of conflict, but the existence of justice for all people."

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

"The richer we have become materially, the poorer we become morally and spiritually."

"May I stress the need for courageous, intelligent, and dedicated leadership... Leaders of sound integrity. Leaders not in love with publicity, but in love with justice. Leaders not in love with money, but in love with humanity. Leaders who can subject their particular egos to the greatness of the cause."

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; Only Light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only Love can do that."

MLK Jr. left the Light of his wisdom here for us, and we can
shine it into the world through our own actions and words.

Thank you Martin Luther King Jr., for your wisdom and insights, that we are still learning from. 

Greenland's Wishes Should be Respected

I think anyone, who finds riches and flashy fake appearances undesirable, will be able to relate to this Greenland official as much as I could. She, and masses of Greenlanders filling the streets, have made it VERY clear that they do NOT want Trump to buy or violently steal Greenland. And their wishes should be respected.
     Surely the vast majority of us American people do NOT want stolen lands or stolen oil...etc., from Greenland or Venezuela or Gaza or any other place. Its all just too wrong and disgraceful. And we do not want people to continue to be threatened and bullied or killed by our leader. Period.

Innocent Somali People Cruelly Targeted

The capital punishment tactic of Trump's regime is very evident in his targeting of ALL of the Somali American's just because a few individuals were caught in the fraud crime. Targeting thousands of innocent people for what a few did is extreme prejudice and is a hate crime, in my eyes. Its horribly wrong and should be stopped, especially since Trump recently also started revoking visa's and has given ALL Somali people until March to leave America. This is a horribly sad situation.

ALL SOMALI PEOPLE ARE NOT RESPONISBLE FOR WHAT JUST A FEW DID!

Native American's Abducted by Ice!!!

 Noem and the rest of the Trump regime has repeatedly claimed that they are only going after targeted illegal and criminal immigrants, but this has repeatedly proven to not be true. They have VERY obviously been using Ice to harass or abduct people that Trump hates, like democrats and poor legal immigrants, and people who have dark skin and the Somali people who are legally here. And it now appears that they have even been abducting poor homeless people and scoffed up a batch of Native American's in that process. The Natives are concerned that their tribal members being abducted may also have been an act of vengeance from Noem, because of them banning her from their reservations when she was governor of South Dacota. But no matter what the reason, its just too wrong.

NOBODY BELONGS HERE MORE THAN THE NATIVE AMERICANS, AND IMMIGRATION OFFICERS ABDUCTING AND IMPRISONING THEM IS JUST TOO WRONG. BUT IT SHOWS THAT ICE IS DOING FAR MORE THAN THEY CLAIM TO BE DOING, AND THAT PEOPLE, FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE, ARE SCARED AND ANGRY FOR GOOD REASON.

I have felt more scared, due to the Ice abductions. I have repeatedly told myself that I have no reason to be scared. But now that I know they are abducting homeless people, my fear is validated. I am also part Native and I belong here more than they do, but does this make me even more vulnerable under this regime? It appears so. And what happens to the people, after they are abducted and imprisoned/"detained," is a mystery and this is very disturbing.

2016 Warning of Evil Behind Trump's Leadership

Updated 1-16-2026

In 2016, as I watched some of Trump's debates, I had a vision which showed him looking out of a door way with a giant black gargoyle standing behind him. At that time, and since then, I have doubted this being a depiction of reality. And I have been being too heavily targeted to reach a place of feeling sure about what it meant. But I no longer have any doubts and I am now sure that there is a VERY dark/evil force backing Trump, because his actions, through the past year, prove it.
    I think the evil that targets humanity, wanted Trump to be president of the USA, because his own high levels of dysfunction make it easy for them to use him to cause mass chaos and confusion and destruction in America as well as around the globe. And this is what we are all faced with right now. 

Trump claims to be making "peace through strength," but this is impossible, because his "strength" is abusive and violent and dangerous. He is filled with a hate and prejudice, that is most likely being fueled by brainwashing or microwave targeting. And the results include the hell that they are now raising in Minnesota while blaming their innocent victims, who are being literally terrorized and hurt and some even shot and killed. It must be stopped. 

 Real and lasting peace can only be gained through

GENUINE kindness and consideration for ALL people.

Like I had said previously, I have reason to believe that much of Trump's maga

support base is people who are victims of various types of brainwashings, and may
include many who had been prescribed things like antidepressants that make them
 more brainwashable. I think this is how Trump became president.

   

"Sonic Weapon" Used in Venezuela?

Updated 1-16-2026

Many reports around the globe state that our USA military used a "sonic" (microwave) weapon to disable people in Venezuela, when they invaded to abduct Maduro. This is yet another batch of proof that they do indeed exist, but the problem of far more sophisticated ones being used on humanity, is a global problem that extends far beyond possible isolated military uses in various countries.
   I am glad that more is now coming out about microwave weapons, but this does not even come close to covering the full scope of what has been happening since at least the 1950s. The hell we have been through with this is indescribable. Just literally indescribable. 
   
I just want to cry for the long term victims, of microwave weapons, who have been being told that they are just imagining it or are "mentally ill."  And those of us who are aware have been being threatened into silence. A few days ago was the most recent death threat I got. They threatened to give me cancer, which I believe they sure can do with a microwave weapon.
   

Genuine Peace

Real and lasting peace can only be gained through
GENUINE kindness and consideration for all people.

Call for FREEDOM in Minnesota...

Updated 1-15-2026

Since Renee Good was killed by Ice, Trump has massively vamped up the Ice invasions in a community that was already stricken with grief and fear and was begging for Ice to leave. This is one of the most heartless things I've ever seen. Any amount of decency would have at least backed off for a while and let things settle down. But it appears that Trump and Noem want chaos and war, possibly to justify declaring Marshal Law. What is happening in Minnesota is the result of Trump's prejudice and hate and vengeance, and it plans to spread across America. The heartlessness within Ice and its leadership is a serious danger for all of America. MANY reports state that they are lying about only going after the dangerous and criminal people, and are mostly abducting harmless immigrants, including many legal immigrants, and are also terrorizing and hurting many American citizens in that process.

FYI; Christi Noem has made public statements at a podium that has "One of ours - all of yours" written on it. This is a slogan about capital punishment. In other words, if one person hurts one of her Ice thugs, she will have them hurt masses of innocent people in that community or that political party??? This is really sick stuff that should have absolutely no place in America.

Please PEACEFULLY stand up for freedom from Ice invasions that traumatize or hurt or kill harmless and innocent people and are cruelly tearing families apart.

Another Bit of Proof of Microwave Weapon Attacks

Havana Syndrome: Pentagon testing mysterious device bought in undercover operation https://youtu.be/lCiuHClRgng?si=3_wEN7KhG6R6hejM

There are people, from all walks of life, who have been experiencing similar types of attacks. "Targeted Individuals" have been reporting on this for decades. But, for some the worst of it has been not being believed and called "mentally ill."
   I am a victim of microwave and laser weapon attacks and am certain that some of the weapons used are far more sophisticated than what has been described in the Havana Syndrome cases, and appear to be used in conjunction with satellite surveillance technologies.
   I have experienced a few of the type of attacks that cause excruciating pain and intense pressure, which either made me pass out or made me wish I would just to end it. Vomiting is also an effect. The pressure feels like a vice grip on the head, as if it is being crushed, and it feels like your head is going to explode.
    But most of the attacks I experience are milder than this and effect various parts of my body. The attacks vamp up when I'm doing things like publicly standing up for Palestine or against Trump's destructive behaviors. It appears to be to punish me and make me stop speaking out. A few months ago I ended up hospitalized, due to what I feel certain was a laser shot to my abdomen. The doctors were baffled and not sure of what was wrong with me. It took me months to recover almost fully. This attack and many others were VERY scary and very painful.

PEOPLE, PLEASE STOP BELIEVING WE ARE "MENTALLY ILL" WHILE
WE TRULY GET TORTURED. THESE ATTACKS ARE REAL, FAR TOO REAL.

To the American People

People, please do not give the bullies what they want;
do not fight back with physical or verbal violence -
do not stoop to their level. Just compensate by caring
for each other more than ever before, until this hell is over.

KEEP the PEACE in AMERICA!

Trump's "Fake News"

Trump labels every news station who tells the full truth about him, "fake news." However, those news places are actually sometimes the most honest ones, when it comes to anything associated with President Trump, because they know that Trump will slam them with a lawsuit if they say anything unprovable about him. Trump literally holds an axe aver their heads.

   Meanwhile, the news places that Trump promotes and has complete control over, not only leave out important details, but also help to promote Trump's war against the democrats, against the poor people, against the harmless immigrants, against the countries that have what his greed and thirst for power wants, against anyone who disagrees with him...etc. 
   I have been watching them all throughout much of this year, and something else I have noticed is that the Republican run and Trump controlled news places do massive amounts of bashing "the left" or "the democrats." And the democrat run stations rarely bash "the republicans" of "the right." I find this interesting, because it shows which side has more integrity and is less apt to try to manipulate people against the other party, which is something that good professional news should never do. In all fairness, I have not watched what the democrat side did BEFORE Trump put the axe over their heads, but my gut feeling is that they were never as manipulative as the republican side.

Like I said in my previous post, I have never thought negatively toward the republican political party, but Trumps behaviors, and that of all the other republican's around and above him, are changing my mind. I am no longer neutral. I am starting to have bad feelings about the whole republican party because it nominated and has continued to support Trump's destructive and extremely dysfunctional behaviors, which are really bad for America as well as for the whole world. They seem to not know right from wrong, and to not even care about it, for the most part. 

The Republican Party

 I have never thought badly of the republican political party. But I am now starting to, because of it supporting Trumps extremely destructive behaviors here in America as well as abroad. They seem like a bunch of blind or fearful puppets who swarm around Trump kissing his feet, no matter what he does wrong or how many people its hurt or slandered or killed, instead of reigning him in and helping him to do better and do right by at least the American people, including the poor and the democrats and all ethnicities and all religions.
   I do understand that the mind control problem is at play here, but this does not mean that the destruction can be allowed to freely continue without anyone saying anything about it. Trump's horrific behaviors are not acceptable, because they are upsetting or hurting so many people, and are even killing and imprisoning some harmless and defenseless people.

UN-Justifying Abuse

Striking back merely gives the bullies justification for their abuse. We must UN-justify it - not strike back.

Call for PEACE in AMERICA

Although the Trump administration blames "the democrats" for every disagreement, its far more than just democrats who are against Trumps administration, because of his dishonest and hateful and inconsiderate behaviors. One of the latest episodes of this was Trump's extreme dishonesty about Renee Nicole Good - the woman who was killed in Minneapolis, which made a VERY difficult situation, for BOTH sides, far worse.

Although many of us are upset about his destructive ways, and that of those who follow his lead, we must keep the PEACE that they have been destroying. We should not accept or normalize their dysfunctional behaviors, but we can reject them and stand strong against them in ways that are PEACEFUL - in ways that do not strike back physically or with profanity and demeaning words - we can refrain from stooping to their level, and do our best to remain in our HEARTS, no matter what they do. And we can do our best to be here for each other through these dark times - we can do all that we can to hug and help the people who are being hurt by Trumps hateful war against the democrats, the poor people and harmless immigrant people...etc. We can spread LOVE instead of returning the hate. We can compensate for the damage they have done and KINDLY demand to be treated better.

We the people can

 KEEP the PEACE in AMERICA

Let's do it.

A good example of this; At the worst of times, like the Ice shooting in Minneapolis, we can choose to hug and help the people who were hurt, instead of angrily swearing and throwing things at the Ice agents. And then we can PEACEFULLY protest and send messages to the involved officials, which in this case, would be asking for things like honesty and more fairness and more consideration for the victims and a full objective investigation, which is what Trump and Neom and Vance should have done from the start.
   I understand the anger. I felt a lot of it myself in this situation and many others. Over and over again I have been shocked by Trump's dysfunctional and destructive behaviors. But we can vent it without being abusive back - we can go home and do things like punch a pillow and scream it out...anything that does not hurt other people or their property.

Remember that striking back merely gives the bullies justification for their abuse. Its up to us to UN-justify it - to not strike back. Then they have no valid excuse. Sure, they may lie again, but we know the truth and we can strive to elect people who can care to honor things like truth and kindness and consideration for all people. And until we have these things in our leaders, we can compensate by giving even more of them to each other.

We can keep the PEACE in America. We can and must.

TRUTHS About the Ice Shooting in Minneapolis

Updated 1-12-2026

Truth is VERY Important Because it is What Builds Trust.

President Trump and his following have been extremely dishonest about the Ice shooting in Minneapolis; Trump initially posted that Renee Nicole Good was a "domestic terrorist" who intentionally "ran over" the Ice man and that he was "in the hospital recovering"...etc. And other parts of his regime followed suit. Their statements were so far from the obvious truth that it became a gaslighting situation and an unfair slandering of Renee. Their heartless dishonesty made this whole situation far worse for everyone.
   Anyone who looks at a slowed down close up of the recorded shooting, which gave a view of the driver's side of the vehicle, can see the shooter's legs directly behind the Ice man who is at the door of the woman's car. He is not in front of the car - he is beside it at the front corner. And it is very obvious that her tires had been sharply turned to the right to avoid him. She was not trying to run him over and he was in no danger. AND anyone can see that she was trying to escape a volatile situation - while an Ice man was angrily yelling at her to, "Get out of the F_ing car" and was even reaching into her car trying to force her door open. Renee was, no doubt, scared and just trying to get away from them when she was shot and killed. THIS IS THE TRUTH. And I think I would have done the same thing she did in a scary situation like that.
   The recording from the shooter's phone shows that Renee and her partner were not being threatening at all. They were doing what I would call, sassy harassment, and this appeared to have triggered the Ice men into a rage. 

BOTH sides of this situation have a justifiable defense of fear being a possible factor. It appears that the Ice men have been being targeted by some people as masses of people protest against them and tell them to leave their neighborhoods or towns. And Trump and his Ice immigration men have been horribly inconsiderate and have been scaring masses people as they target democrat run cities; masked men who do not show their badges storming into communities to abduct people and tear families apart is a terrifying thing, especially because many of those people are not criminals and are harmless poor immigrants or harmless advocates for a free Palestine...etc.
   In this situation it was the Ice men who were being threatening before the shooting. An unedited version of the last recording released shows one of the Ice men angrily saying, "F_ing bitch" directly after one of them shot and killed Renee. To, me, this says that they were in a place of hate. Even IF they were also in a place of fear, killing an unarmed and non-threatening woman was wrong. Renee did disobey the belligerent demand to get out of the car and obviously fearfully tried to get away from angry swearing masked Ice men, and this MAY have been just cause for an arrest, but certainly not just cause for being killed. They had her plate number. They should have just let her go, after they had scared her into leaving.

Immigration officers should behave with professionalism, showing their faces and badges and being kind and courteous and considerate of people's feelings, like most of our law enforcement professionals have always done here in America. Because Ice has not done this, it has lost the trust of most American people. Drastic positive changes should be made. And those changes should include ALL hate filled trigger happy thug types of people being removed from Ice, and Ice staying completely out of at least the democrat communities, which Trump has been using them to target and harass. The real criminals can be caught by our professional law enforcement agencies (local police, state police and FBI) that are not a threat to the American people. Military men and armed angry masked maga thugs do not belong in the policing of our communities. They just don't.

But Trump's regime actually doubled down on their obvious lies - still gaslighting everyone, falsely blamed democrats for the hell Trump and Ice are raising in Minneapolis, and have ordered even more Ice people into Minneapolis, while its leadership and its residents are in a state of grief and fear and are demanding for Ice to leave. Trump and Noem know this will cause more upset and seem to want the fighting and chaos and hardship to vamp up. Any decent leaders would have at least backed off for a while to let things calm down after a fatal shooting, and Trump and Noem's blatant lies about it and approval of murder, have upset so many people, that massive protests have been happening in Minneapolis as well as nationwide. This massive increase in Ice deployment is not about "fighting crime" and appears to be primarily about harassing and disrupting and hatefully (sometimes even lethally) fighting against democrat run areas and poor immigrants and America citizens who do not agree with or vote for Trump. And its not nearly only democrats who can see that what Trump is doing in this situation, as well as many others, is wrong and very bad for America.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT NONE OF THIS ICE HELL SHOULD BE HAPPENING. I hope our military and Ice and all levels of our law enforcement agencies will start exercising their right to refuse to follow Trump's orders, when Trump is trying to use them for his own personal vendettas against "the left," against harmless poor immigrants, against people who disagree with him or people he is prejudice of, and against the people who have the land (oil, gold or minerals) that he wants to violently steal for himself and his rich acquaintances.
   This probably will not happen to a large degree, with Ice, because it appears that at least some of Trump's maga following is people who have been drugged and brainwashed and are prejudice and hateful. And on top of this, the news channels (or podcasts) they tend to watch have not been honest about what Trump says and does; The ones that Trump calls "fake news" have actually been the more honest ones. But some of them sway back and forth and some seem to fear Trump following through on his threats to ruin them if they report on the negative things he does. I have done about a year of watching them all and there is no doubt of this reality. Ultimately, in order to get the real full truth we have to watch different channels and then depend on our own instincts above all else, until this hell is over and things are back to normal.

ICE Agent Fatally Shoots Minneapolis Mother, Renee Good

P.S. Most news places have not shown the Ice men's profanity, but its there and is an important indication of their state of mind before they killed Renee. If they can't control their anger, they should not be doing a job like that. And the protesting people also should NOT be belligerently yelling and swearing at the Ice men... Don't be provoking them, because this is not right and it also could get more people hurt, until we can get them out of our communities. Please just PEACEFULLY protest.

For Genuine Peace

Real and lasting peace can only be gained through GENUINE
kindness and consideration for all other countries and all people.

Resurrecting the HEART of America

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled
masses yearning to breathe free..."

The America I learned about in grade school was a kind place where compassion and freedom and safety, for ALL people, was honored and regularly exercised. And I believed in this even though it's foundation is stained with the blood of our indigenous people. I carried with me, a vision of our country which is symbolized in our statue of liberty holding up a Light for all who are in need of a safe haven....our safe haven. I was so proud.
   Then I grew up and started learning other things about America - things that painted the opposite picture. But I held onto my vision because everything has faults - everything has a dark side - and there is always room to grow and learn and evolve into something better.
   But now I am being forced to face the depths of the dark side of America, as our President Trump magnifies it into a reality that can't be ignored. And a part of me is crying out, "This is NOT America! Its just the dark parts being brought into the Light." The HEART of America is not the violent bully who invades and steals from other countries, in order to feed things like the selfishness and greed and lust for dominance in our leaders and their wealthy supporters... Its not a violent killer who falsely labels it's resisting victims as "terrorists." Its not a vengeful bully who attacks people who disagree. Its not a prejudice entity that closes its doors to people in need, just because they are too poor or too colored or believe in a different religion. It does not slap the face of other people and countries with an arrogant "I am the best" type of attitude. And it does not divide itself with hate filled political wars...etc. These things are not the HEART of America - they are just the mistakes of our past trying to rise up and dominate, and in the wake of the chaos is a call for fast and massive positive change...

A Light has been shone into America's closets and the stark reality of its dark parts are being magnified and shown to the world today. And now is the time to face and reject that darkness; to let it go and focus on healing from the destruction it has caused. Now is the time to not only bring back the HEART of America, but to help it grow into even more than it has ever been...

The HEART of America is not what is being portrayed in our leadership today, under the false mask of "peace" and "greatness." The HEART of America knows that real and lasting peace can only be gained through genuine kindness and consideration for all other countries and all people. The HEART of America is a TRUE beacon for freedom, liberty and justice for all people, and it will soon rise again and grow. It will.

Intentional Inflictions of Distress and Death

The evil that targets humanity intentionally inflicts distress upon people. And Trump does the same thing. He claims to be a peacemaker, but he has done the complete opposite here in America as well as abroad. He has even been distressing harmless countries like Canada and Greenland, whom he has been threatening to take over "by force if necessary." And he is now also threatening other countries around Venezuela, not to mention what he has been doing in the Middle East...etc.! Its all just too wrong. Trumps behaviors are no better then those of a murderous thief, but the deaths and traumas and loses he inflicts are far more widespread. He must be stopped!

THE WORLD MUST HAVE GENUINE PEACE!

Report from Caracas on U.S. Attack & Maduro Abduction https://youtu.be/ZCsiN4uh0kk?si=m5I8G5ymUa9BLSNa

As for me; I have again been being periodically blocked from leaving comments on youtube, and I have also been hurt with laser and microwave weapon attacks, as I shared my view of Trumps attack on Venezuela. And there have been computer infiltrations or interference with web pages. All of this is the usual, but I just wanted to let you know that it still vamps up at times like this and I want it to stop.

Around Eighty Venezuelans Were Murdered in Trump's Attack on Venezuela...

Updated 1-5-2026

Many of Trump's team have boasted about there being no American's killed in Trump's attack on Venezuela, but they ALL failed to mention that around eighty innocent Venezuelan people were killed in in it, that some were civilians, and that other civilians have been left homeless due to a residential building being bombed.  These people should matter too, especially since the Venezuelan people are not any sort of danger to the USA. (IF the drug problem had been real, it would have been handled at our borders.)
   
Many Trump supporters have been claiming that "the Venezuelans are happy about this and cheering in the streets," but the real truth appears to be that at least forty families are in a deep state of grief and thousands of others were deeply traumatized by the bombing, and were too scared to even leave their homes the next day. But some of them were gathering to protest for the return of Maduro the next day. Masses of the Venezuelan people are surely in a state of shock and confusion or fear, and surely most of them do not want Trump to violently invade and take control of their oil and mineral resources and their government, which is exactly what Trump now openly says he is going to do. So who is "happy"? - Trump's diminishing supporters and his already wealthy comrades who can't care about anything but themselves and the money they will get if Trump succeeds with stealing Venezuela's vast mineral and oil supplies. 

The barbaric violence, that people like Netanyahu and Trump inflict upon innocent people, must be stopped. It is not really to "help" or "save" or "make peace," like they claim - it is to kill and take control and greedily steal from people..., and sometimes it is hate filled revenge or prejudice. Its dangerous and heartless and inhumane. These are the types of people who should not be allowed access to weapons and certainly should not be in leadership roles in our world. They seem proud of their vile accomplishments, but the truth is that its not cool to be a violent greedy thieving or vengeful bully. It just isn't. I hope they are removed from positions of power asap.

GREEDY OR VENGEFUL WAR MONGERING

HAS NO PLACE IN MODERN HUMANITY.
IT MUST BE STOPPED.

On Trump's War Against Venezuela

Updated 1-5-2026

Fact; President Maduro, and Venezuela's previous president, stood strongly against Israel's violence and land thefts in Palestine. And it appears they have been being targeted for this.

Fact; Sanctions that were imposed on Venezuela, mainly by Trump in his first term, caused major economic and other difficulties for Venezuela. Yet they blame Maduro for the state of Venezuela's economy and problems arising from the sanction induced poverty..etc.

Fact; Any "drug problem," in our USA, could and should have been lawfully dealt with at our own borders. So the drug problem is NOT a valid excuse for Trump bombing/murdering people in Venezuelan boats, or for bombing the Venezuelan capital. VENEZUELA WAS NOT A DANGER TO THE USA. 

The real truth appears to be that Trump's greed for Venezuela's oil and minerals, as well as his hate for Maduro and opposing political parties, are the key motivators for Trump's violence against Venezuela. And the timing of it appears to be as Trump and Netanyahu aim to more fully ethnically cleanse Gaza and the West Bank, in Palestine and steal what remains of the Palestinian lands.

As a bit of the real truth came out this morning, a member of Trump's team said that the violent take over of Venezuela is to stop China from getting the oil - to "preserve peace" with China. But none of what Trump is doing to supposedly keep "peace" with China makes no sense to me; I feel that they can NOT "preserve peace" with China through bullying and blackmailing China with tariffs and then violently robbing them of needed Venezuelan oil, instead of just making friends with them. And the same goes for Russia. Genuine peace appears to either not be part of Trump's plan, or he is just too dysfunctional to know how to make peace. Either way...

Trump is performing greedy hate filled violent wars, under the false masks of "peacemaking" or "for USA safety" and it must be stopped, because he is making the world unsafe for everyone, especially for America!

P.S. I do not know what sorts of crimes Maduro may or may not have committed. But I do know that Trump is not an honest man, that he fabricates things against people he hates, that he projects his own wrong doings onto his victims or enemies, and that his greed and lust for riches tends to override his common sense and block his heart...etc.
   Even IF Maduro is a criminal, was it right for our military to be used to invade another country and bomb a community and kill around eighty innocent people and terrorize thousands of other people, in order to arrest him? Certainly not. Venezuela was no danger to the USA.

Where Love Rebounds

UPDATED 1-2-2026; I added a few new verses and few edits to this poem. This poem is a symbol of hope, which grew from a VERY pain filled feeling of hopelessness; a hopelessness that was largely fueled by Trump and Netanyahu increasing the suffering and killing of the Palestinian people, in an effort to force them to "choose" to leave Gaza and the West Bank, as they finish stealing the Palestinian lands...etc. They just expelled masses of foreign aid workers from Gaza and the West Bank, which leaves the Palestinians in an utterly hopeless and catastrophic situation. Its so evil and so cruel and so inhumane that its hard to believe and face. But face it, we must, because this shows us what places like Israel and our USA are being lead/ruled by right now. 

   There seems to be nothing, that us common folk can do to stop their cruelty in Palestine, or in the multitudes of other places where they greedily instigate or directly perform wars that enable them to move in and take control, especially since they have no regard for our feelings and wishes. But there are things we can do... We can stop being deceived by them. We can reject their lead and let Love grow, as much as is possible, in our own communities; We can reject their hate and prejudice and warring ways, and embrace people of all faiths and all colors and all political parties...etc. We can follow our own hearts instead of the evil that uses them. We can still let Love win.
