A STERN WARNING
Come the first of November, the authorization for SNAP benefits to millions, almost half of whom are children, will end and forty-one million people could find themselves food insecure. A sad state of affairs in one of the richest countries in the world.
Combine that with the fact, as reported, that over four thousand deliveries of emergency food to food banks sent from the U S Department of Agriculture to food banks across all fifty states and D C, have been blocked by the trump regime.
On the other side of town, the occupant of the oval office and the chronic drunk at the Department of Defense have ordered that by January 2026, there will be installed in every city a “ Rapid Response Unit “ highly trained in quelling of not only riots but also protests. This from the guy who at an earlier time thought shooting protestors in the legs was a good idea.
A couple of things will happen between now and the 2028 election. there will be more and more protests similar to the No Kings Day in October. There will be many families who will be trying to contend with food insecurity, a circumstance created by design by the trump regime. There will also be a mid term election in which the current majority party could conceivably lose considerable if not complete hold over congress.
These events could well all bring out protests in the streets, large crowds of voters, and candidate rallies for both sides of the aisle – all of which have the potential for disruption, especially if the trump regime wants it to happen, as they did on January 6th. Bring in the military .
This whole “ Rapid Response Unit “ thing has a nasty smell to it. It is almost like we are being set up for a violent take over of our cities by the fascist to the core and his 100 proof side kick. If you do not have a crisis, create one . If you don’t have an emergency, create one. Then, with the help from a cadre of maniacal sycophants, carry out all those fantasies of being a great dictator.
Acknowledging that this may or may not happen or happen to a more or lesser degree, the long history of this malignant narcissist and his close advisors lends more to the possibility of it seeing reality.
We all must be aware and wary, stay informed and stay vigilant and above all, understand the fight for the rescuing of our democracy is now joined and if you care, be a part of it.
