The Trump Family Have Become Bank Owners (Should We the People Sing Doo da day, E-I-E-I-O or Just be DISGUSTED!)

The information below was AI-generated. The question that I asked was HI-generated.

  • I asked: Is it true that the Trump family has become bank owners?

(I heard a report in a YouTube Shorts video and wanted to verify.)

The AI-generated response was:

Yesthe Trump family is not running a traditional consumer bank, but they have received preliminary approval for a federally chartered trust bank connected to their crypto venture, World Liberty Financial.

  • The key point: They are not owners of a normal deposit-taking, loan-making bank. They are partial owners of a crypto firm that has been conditionally approved to operate a national trust bank, which has more limited powers.

🠚What actually happened:

  • World Liberty Financial (WLF) — a crypto company launched by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump — applied for a national trust bank charter through its entity World Liberty Trust Co.

  • The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) granted preliminary conditional approval in August 2026.

    • This allows the company to move toward operating a federally supervised trust bank.

    • The bank would be able to issue and custody WLF’s USD1 stablecoin, and manage related assets.

    • Trust banks cannot take deposits or make loans like traditional banks.

  • WLF states that 38% of the company is owned by an entity affiliated with Donald J. Trump and certain family members.

🠚So are they “bank owners”?

In a limited sense, yes — they are partial owners of a crypto firm that has received conditional approval to operate a federally chartered trust bank. But they are not owners of a conventional retail or commercial bank that handles deposits, mortgages, or consumer lending.

  • Think of it as: Crypto company + federal trust charter ≠ traditional bank.

⚠️ Political and ethical controversy

  • Multiple lawmakers, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, have called the approval “the most brazen act of self-dealing our financial system has ever seen.”

  • Critics argue the Trump administration’s regulator approved a bank charter for a company in which the president and his family have a substantial financial interest.

  • The OCC says the review was conducted by career staff in accordance with standard procedures.

Bottom line:

The Trump family is not running a traditional bank, but they are part owners of a crypto venture that has received conditional approval to operate a federally chartered trust bank. Final approval still requires additional regulatory steps.

MY Bottom Line Compared to AI's Bottom Line.

(Human-generated. IT'S ALL ME. Don't want anybody else to take the blame.)

First of all, to the AI programmers who are also human ... I would like to thank AI for beginning the response with a YES!!! and then providing specifics so that American people KNOW where to POINT THE FINGER OF BLAME.


Let me rehash.

  • The Trump family is not running a traditional bank. Think of it as: Crypto company + federal trust charter ≠ traditional bank.
Uh huh. It's not "traditional," and I guess if they say it has "limited powers", everybody should just relax!

Well, that makes me feel so much better? Don't all of US feel better knowing this?


MY Final Bottom Line (Which Will Hopefully Rise to the Top):



Aaaahh! Crypto banks! Virgin territory.

In all likelihood, "they" (Trump, his family and his extended "family", others who are ALL IN) were probably ALREADY DOING THIS. 

But they needed to make a LAW so that they can say they're NOT BREAKING THE LAW. And they want to ignore or override CURRENT MONEY LAUNDERING LAWS, RICO, and similar statutes that are already on the books.

Did I forget anything? Oh! Yeah!
  • NO IRS AUDITS.
  • A puppet US Attorney General
  • SCOTUS in the POTUS' back pocket
  • A Law and Order president who creates LAW for his “New World Order” 
In other words, TRUMP THINKS HE'S UNSTOPPABLE!!

Dear Citizens:
What you need to understand about our government is – AND I love my country – there are a lot of unethical, immoral people who work as “servants”. But they're serving their own bellies. Some of them are plain old CROOKS. They do a lot of bad stuff, but most of the time it is unknown until … A WHISTLEBLOWER STEPS FORWARD.

People think the dark web is dangerous. Are they even looking at OUR White House?

My fellow Americans: 
Is everybody laser-focused yet? 

"O say, can you see"??

Trump is NOT putting America FIRST!

Three words. Trump Totalitarian Regime.

Is it coming our way? Or are We The People gonna STOP IT?

THIS IS NOT A PATRIOT "GAME".
SAVING AMERICA IS NOT AN ACT!!

The REAL BIGGER PICTURE: Trump Says He's On a Kill List and It's Not NEWS! (An Opinion Piece)

A news report said that Netanyahu (Israel's current leader) warned POTUS Trump that Iran may be planning an assassination. Not willing to give Israeli intelligence ANY CREDIT, Trump practically boasted that he's always been on Iran's KILL LIST.

  • Yahoo News — Trump says he’s “number one” on Iran’s target list and has left instructions if he’s assassinated. Read the article

So it's July 11, 2026, and America and Iran are shooting at each other again! BUT! ... IT'S NOT A WAR!!

Over the years I've come to realize that there's the BIG PICTURE and then there's the REAL BIGGER PICTURE!  

The BIG PICTURE gets reported in the news.  

The REAL BIGGER PICTURE is comprised of secret deals handled under the table and dirt swept under the rug.

sweeping dirt under a rug
(AI image created using CoPilot - Notice there's a guy in a suit sweeping and not a maid or a janitor. That's my interpretation.  Feel free to interpret the image the way you see it. ☺)


(Recycling a rant posted to my Tumblr blog and also sharing some links to news about Iran wanting to assassinate POTUS Trump.)

Many of US know the attack on Iran has nothing to do with nuclear weapons. (You know how you know something but you don't have the details ... because Satan has the details!)  Indeed, most of US KNOW that anything Trump, his son-in-law, and his power-mongering cronies are doing has nothing to do with anything EXCEPT filling their coffers. 

Yeah. It's that obvious. (Sigh.) Only for them to go to the grave and leave it all behind.

If you listen to Trump closely, you can't help but notice he's preoccupied with his “mortality”.

He wants his name on monuments, airports, buildings, etc.

He wants his face plastered everywhere: Mt. Rushmore, US currency, etc.

And now he's worried about being assassinated by Iran. He wants to brag that he's Numero Uno, but ... he flew to Turkey and came back in another.  Security reasons??? So! Trump accepted a foreign-gifted airplane, and wasted tax dollars to “fix it up” — spent taxpayer money to retrofit it for presidential security. AND THEN IT STILL WASN’T SAFE TO FLY BACK HOME????

  

AS IF … 

Iran, i.e., the Islamic Regime,  would much rather let Americans suffer under the Trump regime. Killing him would be pointless. Trump makes a better Enemy of America than they do! When they shout Death to America … there are all kinds of ways to DIE!!


Thanks for America's fearful leader ….

-Citizens can be terrorized and killed by masked agents,

-Citizens don't have quality healthcare and are still waiting for the Great Healthcare Plan,

-Criminals can be pardoned because “justice for all” are just words (updates on presidential pardons),

-Tax dollars can be wasted on “beautification projects” while the vice-president, JD Vance, checks for FRAUD everywhere except THE WHITE HOUSE!


There are a million and one ways to KILL A NATION.  You don't have to assassinate the leader, especially not in America. Our leaders come and go!

The New Magnificent Seven (7)? Anthropic's 7 Billionaire Founders Pledge 80% of Their Wealth (Reblog)

“The thing to worry about is a level of wealth concentration that will break society,” Amodei wrote.

I have been publishing content on Medium.com for over a decade, and what I like about this platform is that reading the articles is just as rewarding as writing them. Medium writers consistently publish content that is thought-provoking, insightful, informative, educational, and entertaining. I lifted the quote above from an article by Tasmia Sharmin titled "Anthropic’s 7 Billionaire Founders Just Pledged 80% of Their Wealth (Because They Know What’s Coming) | | Predict".  Below are my remarks (sometimes I reshare my thoughts via JDVM).

That's a laughable quote. IT sounds like he's talking about Trump, his kids, and his loyalist cronies.

AT any rate, “extreme” wealth is a tremendous blessing and responsibility. If people who “earned” it want to give it away, maybe they could start by paying their employees a “generous” wage and a compensation package that includes insurance for healthcare, on-the-job injury, and death [which the employees are clearly going to need], plus retirement [if they live]. The kind of “wage” where people won't rely on government welfare, food banks, religious and charity organizations, etc. You know most people don't want hand-outs. They want to work, earn an honest living, and have a happy life. You know? Life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and all that jazz.

ANYWAY! My advice to the billionaires is … DON'T PAY TAXES! They already see what Trump is doing with our tax dollars. Only a fool would give him MO MONEY!!

If “The New Magnificent 7” want to build or rebuild a great America, then they should probably micro-manage their own good fortunes. Pledging is one thing. But the visionary “80%” need to make sure the redistributed wealth gets to WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO!!

Visionary billionaires pledge to redistribute the extreme wealth they are certain they will make from AI (artificial intelligence) initiatives.  (Yawn.🥱)

Just me babbling.

The Economy: Who Needs Leprechauns When They Have Capitalism and Corruption?

There are several legends, myths, or fairy tales about leprechauns. But the story that almost everybody knows is the one about catching these wicked, tricky little guys and forcing them to give you their pot of gold, which is at the end of the rainbow. The tale is supposedly a warning against greed or being greedy, that clearly … everybody ignores!

(NOTE: Content published in 2022, but updated with social media posts dated 2026. The blog post title was changed to include "Corruption".)


Many people call Facebook “Facebookistan” because it’s like a whole other country in and of itself and should have its own flag. But you know? So is Google! The corporation is really woven into the fabric of our world. People criticize capitalism in favor of socialism, communism, or other forms of government in which they believe wealth among citizens will be equitably apportioned.

QUESTION: Would Google and Facebook even exist if it weren’t for the entrepreneurial spirit nurtured by capitalism?

ANSWER: NOT ALL capitalists are wicked overlord imperialist dogs.

Also, I never really bought into that claim that 99% of the population are poor folks, and all the riches and wealth belong to only “The One Percent” of the citizenry in the USA, which is a capitalist country. Please! Every country, regardless of its government or economy, has the 3-Tier system.

Tier 1: Wealthy people at the top.
Tier 2: Poor people at the bottom.
Tier 3: Folks who are managing to get by on what they make with a little bit extra to spend on “wants”.

You know it’s true! Neither the French Revolution nor the Communists got rid of the bourgeoisie. A word like “oligarch” is not an archaic expression. It is a word in our current vocabulary that applies to certain people TODAY!

Greedy people know no boundary lines and have no respect for any form of government. If they can find a way to exploit and access ill-gotten gain, it doesn’t matter what kind of economic system is in place in any country.

I truly believe that capitalism adds value to any society or nation because people have more freedom to use their talents, skills, and abilities and turn their work efforts into “pots of gold” which can be further translated into philanthropy, humanitarianism, or charity.
Why can’t we all be allowed to use our God-given gifts and talents, to aspire to color our own rainbows, and to create our own pots of gold? It’s a very reasonable question.

We will always have greedy people in this world. But leprechauns do not exist in this world, and we don’t need them even if they did! We have capitalism!

***
P.S. For the record, for all you leprechaun-lovers out there, I am NOT hating on leprechauns. But let’s be clear. Leprechauns (nor the tooth fairy, for that matter) do NOT lead to an increase in individual wealth.

***

Anger Management: Is It OK to Be Angry?

Is it OK to be angry?  Sure!

Getting angry is a natural emotion and reaction.
- Taking out your anger on others is NOT!!
- AND …?? And there is no EXCUSE or REASON for you do it!


IF the source of your anger is social media or constant negativity and your anger is a result of this, that's easy to fix. Don't get on social media AND ignore the negativity. People have “turn off” buttons in their brains!

IF the source of your anger is economic hardship … Do you think you're the ONLY ONE having a hard time?? WELCOME TO THE CLUB!! A lot of people all around the world are experiencing economic hardship. Angrily yelling, screaming, and attacking someone else is not going to fix it!

IF it a mental health matter, GET HELP! Granted, that might be easier said than done, but it's not impossible to do!

(Let me preach a little bit.)

When it comes to people thinking they're suffering, they need to look around them: Do you know why? The Bible says: “Nobody is enduring any temptation that isn't COMMON to man.”

COMMON? That means almost EVERYBODY is going through crap!!

Do you think when you see another person smiling, that it's all good? Maybe yes or or maybe no. That's none of your business!

What is your business is you not taking out your anger on another person. That's under YOUR CONTROL.

Corruption is a Cancer and Some Countries are Sicker Than Others (An Opinion Piece)

“Why is corruption so hard to remove in our country?”

This question was asked by a person on Facebook. The question and the answer they provided were country-specific. They were discussing the present situation in India and presented an outsider’s point of view on why corruption is an accepted way of life in that country.
I am also an outsider. I live in the United States and have never been to India or to a lot of other places in this world. (Never even been to California.) That doesn’t stop me from having a point of view and my perspective is not country-specific. It’s a world view.

Corruption is a cancer that exists all around the world. ALL countries get sick from it. Some countries are more sick, more than others. But no country is immune to corruption.




In fact, there is no place on earth where people live in a community with rules that should be followed for orderliness, settling disputes, punishing wrongdoing, and living a peaceful happy life, where corruption won’t rear its ugly head. Once it happens …

CORRUPTION is hard to remove in ANY COUNTRY!

How does corruption occur? It’s the G-men!
We won’t include organized crime, cartels, gangs, and thugs in this discussion. Let’s talk about the other G-men. Not “G” for gangster. “G” for government officials.
First, the corrupt person (one lone individual) provides “fake promises” that will dutifully serve the people; knowing full well that they really only intend to serve themselves and help themselves to whatever they can get!
Once The Corrupt get into their positions and hunker down, they have absolutely no plans for leaving. EVER! Not only that, they surround themselves with supporters who get treats and rewards for “being naughty” FOR THEM.
They build a stronghold of “invisible soldiers”. Invisible? Yes. Quite often you don’t know who’s serving who. It’s not like these people walk around wearing a badge that identifies them.
Then there are those who are NOT supporters but they are too afraid to do anything or speak out against the pernicious acts of the G-men because they fear for their lives or the lives of those they love. It’s just a matter of self-preservation.
As complicated as the matter is, when faced with corruption there are only 3 solutions/choices.

Fight, Flight or Stay.

Fight. Stand up for your rights and demand change. Some use force, weapons and violence. Some use peaceful nonviolent methods. Either way. THEY FIGHT!
Flight. Leave and go live elsewhere. Hey! Home Sweet Home is wherever you can build it. Mr. Von Trapp was a wealthy man (according to the movie “Sound of Music”)’ but he took his family and left the country anyway!
Stay. Live with it. Not everyone has the physical and mental strength to fight. Not everyone has the means to leave. If you can’t leave and you feel you’re not strong and/or brave enough to fight, then you acquiesce. You resign yourself to the fact that corruption in your daily life is the “normal” and you take each day as it comes. There is a tiny bit of hope buried deep down inside of you that maybe one day you’ll be delivered from evil.

Even though corruption is hard to get rid of, it’s not IMPOSSIBLE!

The purveyors and perpetrators of corruption can be brought down. I would say brought down low. But The Corrupt are already LOW! They just take their seat in high places.
Cause and effect. If one can eliminate the cause, one can eliminate corruption.
Most people think Divine intervention is too slow, so often a military overthrow is the solution.
But well-known singer/songwriter Sting says that he “never saw a military solution that didn’t end up as something worse”.
So why is it so hard to root out corruption?

Simply put … the root cause of corruption is … Brother Against Brother.

That’s why it’s so hard. Hard. Not impossible.
Agree or Disagree.

Thoughts About (the Impossibility of?) Quality Healthcare in the USA

Dr.Jess Steier published an article via Medium.com titled "ThreeThings I Learned Debating RFK Jr.’s Health Policies". It is an excellent read. After reading, I left a few comments. My thoughts shared at the article are also published below. I would like my comments to be seen by my JDV blog visitors, who don't visit the Medium platform.

Article excerpt:

First, Americans are desperate for change. Over and over again, speakers cited obesity rates, chronic disease statistics, and a general sense that our health system is failing. The overall message was clear: something is broken and needs fixing. …


MY Comments:

A candid critique of America's healthcare system, exploring the roots of obesity, the neglect of chronic disease, and the urgent need for reform. It and challenges leaders like RFK Jr. to prioritize the health of ALL citizens.

It is rare that obesity is the result of genetics or an illness. Americans eat a lot of food. Because we have an abundance, we don't practice moderation. That's the crux of the matter.

As for chronic disease, this is a health matter that should be thoroughly examined. But We the People must hold our breath, hoping and praying that RFK Jr. actually does the job he's been tasked to do.

As for the health system failing? Other countries have healthcare systems that don't fail their citizens. Instead of treating health like health, in the USA, it's treated like Big Business. AMERICA HAS NO EXCUSE FOR FAILING ITS CITIZENS. The health of all citizens should be a PRIORITY!! But it's not! Quality healthcare is for those who can pay for it and for overweight presidents.

JAHQAAUFO (Just Another Humorous Quip About Aliens and UFOs)

Aliens and UFOs, now called UAPs, are a very hot topic among "We the People".  It's so serious, the US military and key officials in the government are still concocting bogus stories about them.

  • UFOs: Are They That Serious?. By Helen McCaw and David Broadwell  | Medium

Sharing a link above to an interesting and information article above, with my humorous opinionated comments shared below.

  • UPDATE: Author decided to unpublish the article.  My remarks are stand alone though.  Please continue reading.  Thank you.

UFO

LOL. People need to realize that “governments” of almost all of the countries LIKE TO PLAY GAMES! They work on Top Secret projects that they can't openly talk about it. WHY? Usually it's because they don't want The Enemy to know. Sometimes, it's because they don't want the citizens to know. It might cause OUTRAGE!! Because sometimes citizens are like parents. They just don't understand.

However, seeing that we all live on the same planet, there is always a possibility someone might accidentally, unintentionally, stumble upon a TSP (Top Secret project). If and when they do, there has to be a “story” that must be FED by the Government to the GP (general public).

UFO … UAP … mentions or sightings equal BOGUS STORIES that sound kind of believable. Those stories serve a purpose. The purpose being to take your mind off of the real top secret project and get you talking and speculating about something that does not exist. Why do you think nobody has ever presented concrete evidence or proof of aliens? Because there is none!

Here's the reality. The people who work on those projects sign a Confidentiality Agreement. That means they're sworn to secrecy. If they try to break the agreement and tell somebody? The Government has “ways of dealing with people like that”. What? Will they kill you? Oh no! They'll just make you look like a blithering idiot and an individual who lacks credibility. We know NOW that Galileo was not crazy! I'm sure they knew it back then during his time. But they still put him away!

Am I saying the UFOs or UAPs are not real? Not at all. I'm saying they are real. And … if they don't belong to US, then they belong to The Enemy. If they belong to US, we have our reasons for not wanting the public to know. If they belong to The Enemy, we obviously don't want them to know that we know!!

Admit it. My logic is flawless. LOL. ☺

** For the record, "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (the original with Michael Rennie (1951); not the remake with Keanu Reeves (2008)), will always be my favorite movie about aliens and UFOs.

It's 2022 and Iranian Women Have Started a Revolution (NOT!) (An Opinion Piece)

Negin Shiraghaei is a Iranian-British entrepreneur, activist, and a former news anchor at BBC. She published an article titled Are Iranian women defining the point of no return?  The article presents her point of view and at the end of the article she provides a link who might be interested in helping this protest and cause.

"When women collectively fight for their rights and teach their children to do the same, change becomes inevitable."

This woman has impressive credentials and her beliefs and points of view are very clearly expressed in this article.  However ... 

I respectfully disagree.


It's not a big deal for women to cover their hair. I went to Catholic school. The nuns always covered their hair.
But when you get KILLED for not covering your hair?? Surely, one must know that this is not about “hair coverings”. It's about DOMINATION and OPPRESSION … POWER and CONTROL. And there are men who call their law enforcement “MORAL”? It's a yoke of oppression based on RELIGION.


Right at the moment, there are women protesting in the streets of Iran, but it will come to naught. WHY? Because as long as there is such thing as “morality police”, they get to call the shots. International public opinion does NOT sway them. They answer to Allah. Can you dig it?

If an Iranian woman wants freedom to live her life and be herself, she needs to LEAVE IRAN. She can stay there and cut off her hair. She can fight and die! But it makes no sense to beat your head up against a brick wall.

A female revolution in Iran? Be realistic. Women in so-called free countries are still hollering about gender inequality.

Christiane Amanpour is a journalist from Iran. Yes. She did refuse to cover her hair when she was going to interview a top Iranian official. But she left Iran a long time ago, when she saw “the changes” coming; and she has no plans to ever go back! That's an UNDENIABLE FACT.

You may want to believe that Iran is at a turning point in its modern history. However, it's not even close to a turning point!

Countries with brutal regimes that disregard the human rights of its citizens NEED TO BE OVERTHROWN!

Read the history books.

  • Some countries end up getting divided like North and South Korea. The South Koreans believe in freedom and independence. The North Koreans are ruled by a ruthless dictator who likes to play with nuclear weapons and even kills his own relatives.
  • Some countries or peoples don't even exist any more, like the Aztecs and the Mayans. Remember them? The “great civilizations” that performed human sacrifices. Somebody needed to stop them!

The only way countries like Iran change is IF they get invaded and occupied by another country with a completely different ideology regarding freedom and human rights.and that country takes over!

No country on this planet is PERFECT. But some countries treat their citizens better than others. Iran is not one of those countries where you stay and fight. YOU RUN!! If you want to live.
