Political violence has no place in America. Our democracy relies on safe and civil discourse. Our thoughts are with former President Trump and all who were harmed by the attack at the rally in Pennsylvania.

Political violence is borne of structural violence. We cannot reduce the former without understanding and addressing its origins in earnest. “Lowering the temperature” of our political discourse may be a start, but it is by no means a real solution to what plagues our nation. This is the work. #politicalviolence #structuralviolence

Principal at Keystone CPAs Sophisticated Tax Planning for Individuals, Business and Estates. Virtual CFO- Measured Key Performance Indicators= Measured Results
The recent reduction of bond for the Trump case in NY has raised questions about the political nature of the decision. According to Mr. Wonderful, this case was mishandled from the start, and it's hard to argue against that. When the case goes to appeals, we can only hope that justice is served. What's even more concerning is the potential impact on our justice system and the ability for people to do business. It's unfortunate that politics seem to be overshadowing what should be a fair and impartial process. This is a clear example of how the end does not justify the means, and we need to be vigilant in upholding our values and principles. Not of Marxism or tyranny not because of politics but because it is the right thing to do. Lady justice must be blind or we all lose. It will come back to haunt you dems as well. I am hoping that when this is over that those who did this are brought to justice, not as to get back but ensure our system of justice in the future & that people know that we are ruled by just and fair laws not by tyranny. Our nation is built on the Constitution and the rule of law. We must endeavor to keep our Republic...it is slipping away fast! I challenge anyone w/ TDS to look at this objectively. Look at what this has done to our country, borders wide open, people being killed, peoples property rights being violated by gov'ts. THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES...WAKE UP!!!! Check out the video for more insights from Mr. Wonderful. #politics #justice #values

In a previous post, I wrote: “the events leading up to a trauma including the conditions around it or preceding the trauma or traumatic event can lead to a shift in timeline in explaining how small changes can lead to unforeseen shifts and changes in environments and overall landscapes.” This video explores how the events that shaped 1/6 can have a ripple effect. Even though the myth about the election being stolen has been dismantled, many voters still refuse to accept the election results and due to the current economic crisis with rising inflation and an increased cost of living and voters feeling as though democracy is being undermined, the survey results referenced in this video are startling. Even more disturbing is the number of people in this country who own a gun or recently purchased a gun. In a previous video, I shared the movie trailer for Civil War and even though that is a fictionalized account of some dystopian future, the people being interviewed in this video suggest that a Civil War may be necessary or at the very least a strong leader for President even if it is one who undermines democracy which casts a very fascistic threat and overtone just based on what we know from history.

While charges of the managerial state and political prosecutions are distracting shiny objects, it is evident that our society is hampered from acting in its best interest to protect the polity. The proliferation of political violence is the bellwether issue of our political environment. Intervening to address the variables is not only a public safety issue but also an ethical one. #theruleoflaw #publicsafety #antiracism #antibigotry

OUR TAX DOLLARS ARE FUNDING GENOCIDE, ETHNIC CLEANSING, & APARTHEID. Please watch Glenn Greenwald explain how ISRAEL IS KNOWINGLY KILLING FOREIGN AID WORKERS, INCLUDING AMERICANS, in addition to Palestinian women & children: lnkd.in/g4mKYBEC PLEASE wake up people. This is not a “war”. Israel is committing GENOCIDE & ETHNIC CLEANSING WITH THE WEAPONS WE KEEP GIVING THEM & has now killed OVER 25K WOMEN & CHILDREN (~70% of the dead), according to our own military: lnkd.in/gaMEPKSn Israel has also orphaned over 30K kids, has destroyed the homes of nearly 1M & is still blocking aid to them, killing them WITH STARVATION, DEHYDRATION, & DISEASE, in addition to U.S. supplied bombs. Listen to world renowned professor & public policy expert Jeffrey Sachs explain how ISRAEL IS INTENTIONALLY STARVING OVER 1M CHILDREN. He says “the ICJ will find these acts to be genocidal” & “ the U.S. should immediately stop all munitions for this murderous rampage”: lnkd.in/gy-q3rpR And here is renowned University of Chicago Prof. John Mearsheimer explaining that ISRAEL’S ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO ETHNICALLY CLEANSE BOTH GAZA & THE WEST BANK & get us into a war with Iran, which he says are definitely NOT in our national interest: lnkd.in/g-WcuhSv In this article, I explain how Israel has always been able to beat Hamas & ensure its security WITHOUT KILLING CHILDREN. Sadly, Israel keeps ignoring this option because its goal is not to beat Hamas, but rather to continue using them & similar groups as a pretext to continue ethnically cleansing more of historic Palestine (that's why Israel helped strengthen Hamas for years). In fact, Israel knows that its indiscriminate brutality will only help Hamas & similar groups recruit: lnkd.in/gY98T9mc I also cry for the 38 Israeli children & others killed on Oct 7th, but this horrible conflict did NOT start on that day. The proof is the nearly 2300 Palestinian children killed by Israeli soldiers & settlers between 2000 & Oct 2023, including 43 during the 9 months just before 10/7 (names & details on BTselem.org). Israel has also continued stealing more Palestinian homes & farms in the West Bank EVERY YEAR as part of its 57 year apartheid, & has imposed a brutal blockade of Gaza since 2005. ALL illegal, immoral, & ongoing acts of war. That's why EVEN the ex-head of Israel’s Shin Bet (their FBI), Ami Ayalon, & ex-Israeli PM & General, Ehud Barak, BOTH saying IF THEY WERE PALESTINIAN THEY WOULD FIGHT ISRAEL BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE THEIR LIBERTY: lnkd.in/guNE7vay I will keep advocating for nonviolent resistance, but when Palestinians try, IDF soldiers shoot them in the knees, kill them, or at least imprison & beat them. Please read this 2020 Haaretz article titled: '42 Knees in One Day': Israeli Snipers Open Up About Shooting Gaza Protesters: lnkd.in/g4VqQRzs PLEASE CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES to demand they stop helping Israel kill children, ethnically cleans families, & maintain its brutal apartheid WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS.

John Kirby … clearly very irritated therefore condescending … 📍They are always investigating …and we are growing old here… 📍Accountability … a word that this government does not understand… 📍Deny, deny , deny best political strategy when you’ve got the mic and stage and you can simply go to the next question … 📍Gaslighting at its best … #endtheoccupation #ceasefirenow #freepalestine

Attempted Assassination at Trump Rally: A Stark Reminder of National Divisions Thank God former President Donald Trump is safe after a harrowing assassination attempt at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024. The suspect, who attempted to attack Trump during his speech, was quickly subdued by Secret Service agents before any harm could be done. This incident starkly reminds us of the dark times in the 1960s when political assassinations were more common. This attempted assassination underscores the urgent need for our nation to confront and address the deep-seated hatred and division that currently plague our political landscape. Political violence and extreme partisanship threaten the very fabric of our democracy. It's a call for unity and healing, a reminder that our political discourse must be grounded in respect and civility. Such violence not only endangers lives but also disrupts the democratic process. This event, tragic as it is, might significantly impact the political landscape, potentially galvanizing support for Trump as the election approaches. However, the focus should not only be on the immediate political repercussions but also on the long-term goal of mending the fractures within our society.

We are LOSING our country! Jesse Watters just exposed the threat we are facing! "Follow the math: there’s been hundreds of hours more of left-wing political violence than right-wing violence. They can’t keep saying right-wing violence is a major issue in the US when the left is constantly terrorizing the country." REPOST for widespread exposure! #thinblueline #lawenforcement

"WHY" DOES NOT MATTER!? Whenever I mention that Donald Trump is repeating Nazi propaganda the answer I always get is, "Why would he do that?" This is usually delivered as if I'm some nut on the subway saying the end is nigh. I don't know. Insanity? Megalomania? Criminality? God complex? I DON'T KNOW AND I DON'T CARE You expect me to understand why Trump is a cock who wants to kill all the chickens? I don't know what makes someone like this. 1. But I trust my eyes over propaganda. Example Jan 6th was on TV for us all to see. Who did it? "Why would Trump do that!?" 2. my education: actual law and historical facts not historical revision and alternate facts, i.e. Lies. "Why would Trump do that!?" 3. and my intellect: this is basic problem solving and doesn't require one to be bright, just not self deceptively swallowing his propaganda. "Why would Trump do that!?" Besides, does it matter WHY? Just look. It's happening. LOOK UP. #maga #wwg1wga #nazi #trump #fascist #sedition #espionage #insurrection #politics #hitler #propaganda #misinformation

Wesley Hunt: "When a Democrat is convicted of a crime it’s called political retribution. When a Republican is convicted of a crime it’s called 'justice'. In nearly 250 years we never had this problem in our nation… until Joe Biden assumed the office of President. Biden is right when he says Democracy is on the ballot this November, the problem for him is that he’s on the WRONG side of history."
