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.)

(Free image found on Pixabay)

The AI-generated response was:

Yes — the 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.

(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!

Historic Events You Lived Through? ~ Looking Back and (Trying to) Move Forward

BORN IN THE USA and LIVING IN AMERICA.  What my life has been like as an American citizen, through the years.  Pivotal moments.

AI art created using DreamUp, a free tool

I have a Tumblr account, and it's easy to tell the Tumblr community has a lot of young people. I stumbled across a post where the person said they were very upset to be living through a historic event RIGHT NOW. It was a reference to our 2024 presidential elections.  That made me think.  How many historic events have I lived through?

1950s and 1990s

1. Two (2) New Technologies: Television and Internet — I lived through the introduction of new technology: Television (50s) and Internet (90s). In the 1950s, television brought the world into living rooms for the first time, and by the 1990s, the Internet suddenly connected those living rooms to everyone else on Earth.

1960s

2. Three (3) Assassinations — The assassinations of John F. Kennedy (1963), Martin Luther King Jr. (1968), and Robert F. Kennedy (1968) shattered a generation’s sense of safety and hope in public leadership.  We The People truly mourned.

3. Civil Rights Act — The 1964 Civil Rights Act marked a seismic shift as the nation finally codified equality that had been denied for centuries.

4. Moon Landing — In 1969, seeing Neil Armstrong step onto the lunar surface made the impossible suddenly feel breathtakingly real.  Even though some of the old folks said it was a government plot, it didn't really happen.  Why would the government lie?

5. Richard Speck Case — The 1966 Richard Speck murders were a chilling introduction to the idea that one person could commit unimaginable violence.

6. Vietnam and Flower Power — Through the 1960s and early 1970s, the Vietnam War collided with a cultural revolution of peace, protest, and youthful defiance at home.

7. UT Mass Shooting — Although I lived in Florida at the time, the 1966 University of Texas tower shooting marked the beginning of a tragic pattern in America that would grow over the decades.

1970s

8. Presidential Impeachments — Watching Nixon’s impeachment process in the 1970s, Clinton’s in the 1990s, and Trump’s two impeachments in the late 2010s–early 2020s underscored how contested American political accountability can be.

9. Yom Kippur Wars — The 1973 Yom Kippur War and its haunting 2023 echo showed how unresolved tensions can repeat across generations on the very same sacred day.  50 years later, Hamas did it again! October 7, 2023.

1980s

10. Iran-Contra Affair — The mid-1980s Iran-Contra scandal revealed how secret operations and political maneuvering could shake trust in the highest levels of government.

11. Another Mass Shooting? — The 1984 San Ysidro McDonald’s massacre underscored how mass shootings were becoming more frequent and devastating. At the Golden Arches???

12. Fall of the Berlin Wall — In 1989, watching the Berlin Wall crumble felt like witnessing freedom physically break through decades of division.

1990s

13. Oklahoma City Bombing — The 1995 bombing was a devastating reminder that terrorism can come from within our own borders.

14. Two (2) More Mass Shootings in America — The 1991 Luby’s massacre and the 1999 Columbine high school shooting showed how mass violence has continued to escalate into a national crisis. NATIONAL, not international. Other countries don't appear to be having this crisis.

15. WORLD WIDE WEB - Internet Era — Mentioned previously but bears repeating because the Internet was a serious game changer. By the 1990s, the Internet suddenly connected those living rooms to everyone else on Earth.

Image generated by ChatGPT

2001

16. September 11 Attacks — On September 11, 2001, the world froze in disbelief as the unimaginable unfolded live on television. And We The People thought December 7, 1941, was the only day that would live in infamy. (O.o)

2011

17. Death of Osama bin Laden — The 2011 announcement of bin Laden’s death felt like a long-awaited turning point in the fight against extremist violence. Some people were dancing in the streets. It took a decade, but Obama took out Osama. It had a nice historical ring to it.

2010s–2020s

18. COVID-19 Pandemic — Beginning in 2020, the pandemic abruptly rewrote daily life, exposing both our global vulnerability and our capacity for adaptation.

19. Presidential Impeachments — Trump’s two impeachments in 2019 and 2021 underscored how polarized and contentious American politics had become.

20. Roe v. Wade Decisions — From the original 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling to its 2022 overturning, the shifting legal landscape revealed how deeply personal rights can hinge on political change.

21. Mass Shootings in America are a Regular Occurrence— By the 2020s, the US started maintaining database tracking reality—mass shootings evolved from rare tragedies to a national crisis. And the politicians continue to offer bereaved and angry parents their “thoughts and prayers”.

2021

22. January 6 Capitol Riot — The 2021 breach of the U.S. Capitol was a stark and unsettling moment that tested the nation’s democratic resilience.

WOW! What a difference twenty (2o) years makes. In 2001, We The People got attacked by The Enemy. In 2021, We The People BECAME The Enemy. Thank you, Donald J. Trump.

2025 To Date

As unbelievable as it sounds, Donald J. Trump (with the help of tech giant Elon Musk) got elected as the 47^th President of the United States. Would you like what he has done in his efforts to put America First AND make America great again? Here are a few of my social media posts. I don't mind telling you that it is grueling and tiresome to try to keep up. Maybe Trump can have the luxury of “sleeping,” but I'M WIDE AWAKE! Follow me on BlueSky and also on Tumblr.

People sometimes like to review their old year whenever the new year comes around. I went through some of my old posts on Threads. This post is dated October 2025. It's 2026, and NOTHING HAS CHANGED. Let me rephrase that. NOTHING HAS CHANGED FOR THE BETTER! #POTUS #Trump – Agree or disagree.

Care to Disagree or Dare to Disagree With Great Thinkers: America is NOT an Experiment

Cornel West is an American philosopher, theologian, political activist, and public intellectual, widely known for his critiques of racism, capitalism, and U.S. political culture.

Wikipedia

One time, I heard him call America “an experiment”.

**

I CARE AND DARE TO DISAGREE.

America is NOT an "experiment". It's one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. But it's no different from any other country that has CORRUPTION in its system. Borrow an observation from the Apostle Paul. "Every time you want to do good, EVIL IS ALWAYS PRESENT." Yes. It's a struggle. But every time the Boogie Man shows up are you just going to lie down and take it?! If there is anything IN THIS WORLD worth fighting for, it's YOUR HUMAN RIGHTS. Be glad you can fight for them in America. Cause in some other countries, the struggle is a 100 times harder! (Recycled from my Facebook memories May 2020, because IT'S STILL RELEVANT!)

A Few Bio Facts and Career Highlights About Mr. West

• Born: June 2, 1953, Tulsa, Oklahoma. 

• Education: BA from Harvard; PhD in philosophy from Princeton (first Black person to earn a Princeton philosophy PhD). 

• Philosophical focus: Race, democracy, ethics, religion, and class struggle. His work blends Christianity, Black church traditions, democratic socialism, and neopragmatism. 

• Notable books: Race Matters (1993), Democracy Matters (2004), Brother West (memoir). 

• Teaching career: Has taught at Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth, and Union Theological Seminary. 

• 2024 presidential run: West ran as an independent candidate in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, emphasizing justice, democracy, and anti-imperialism.

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).

Photo by Rob on Unsplash

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.

Change the Constitution? Yeah right! Like That's Gonna Work!

TODAY is May 10, 2026, and it's the second Sunday in May when Americans traditionally celebrate and honor mothers. This isn't the news I expected to hear first thing on Mother's Day, but … I can't pass it by. I gotta say something!

NEWS FLASH! The current North Korean Leader (what's his name) has amended the country's Constitution, and it now states that if he is assassinated, “a nuclear strike is mandated”.

Uh huh.  Well!  That settles the matter, doesn't it?

🠊Dear Mr. NK Leader (whatever your name is),

Do you not read history? You do realize when you're dead, PEOPLE DON'T GOTTA DO WHAT YOU SAY? You're dead! And if they don't carry out your wishes or orders … AIN'T NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!

Let me give you an example.

• There was once a king. Some guy they called Herod the Great.) He knew people didn't really like him. He also knew he was dying. So to ENSURE that there was mourning when he died, he ordered that several prominent “beloved” and “respected” leaders in another community … be put to death. That way … there will be great mourning in the land. (Even if it's not for him.)

HE DIED!

Do you know what his sister did? She told the people who were supposed to kill the other people NOT TO DO IT!

The Jewish historian Josephus recorded that Salome, Herod's sister, was one of the most powerful figures in Herod’s court, and she repeatedly “influenced Herod’s decisions”.

INFLUENCED? NOT THIS TIME!!

He is so great, but his sister ignored him? She didn't just ignore him. SHE COUNTERMAINDED HIS AUTHORITY!

Some accounts state her actions euphemistically and use words like:

• After Herod's death, Salome issued commands to the military, released political prisoners, and nullified the king’s final decree

Nullified?  That sounds much nicer.

🠊So! Mr. North Korean Leader.

YOU DO KNOW that the Constitution in almost every country that has one … is “highly flexible”? 

Seeing as how you had no problems changing the words in North Korea's constitution, those who come behind might not have any problems changing them back.

Just saying.

P.S. There were many leaders named Herod in history. This "particular Herod" is known for killing a lot of his family members. But NOT his sister. Evidently, he trusted her. Also, he didn't view her as a competitor for his throne. Actually, she was never a queen.  But it looks like that didn't matter.  If only he had known that you don't need to have a throne to wield power.

The North Korean leader is always 'in character”. It figures he would try to end the world the same day HE ENDED. 

Pentagon News You Need to Know

They can operate inside Impact Levels 6 and 7 networks — the systems that handle secret and top-secret military data.

Some say this is a watershed moment for the AI industry.

And it's an even bigger moment for defense investors.

“The agreements give all eight companies the green light to deploy their AI models for what the Pentagon calls "lawful operational use" — which is bureaucratic-speak for 'whatever the military decides it needs them for.'"

WHAT I THINK:

So when Trump says the stock is doing well under his administration, what he really means is that the average citizen may have to pay more for groceries and gas, but … so what! His buddies are being told that defense assets is where it's at! Trump doesn't care what the poll numbers say. If people don't think his handling of the economy is good … so what! He's building “bigger barns”. TRUMP KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING!

Are We the People happy?🗽O??

SO WHAT!!

The goat and the pig are doing their own thing.

President Trump = 🐐🟠 ~ Truth?

SOW Pete Hegseth = 🐷~ Right?

Previously published via Tumblr.

"President Trump never forgets." #quotes #SOW #PeteHegseth said on behalf of #POTUS #Trump, warning #NATO they'll regret not being an ally. It's so scary. The pig🐖 is being a bully for the orange goat 🐐🟠in the diaper, who is huffing & puffing like a wolf. Is this a remake of #AnimalFarm OR 1984?🤔

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.

Happy versus Corrupt Countries. Well! Thanks to #POTUS #Trump, #Venezuela might drop off the black list. Also, thanks to Trump, #America might become Number One on the black list. It's just #humor. (Or not.) Sources: thenationonlineng.net/full-list-50... factsinstitute.com/ranking/most...

Customs was under Dept of Treasury.

Immigration was under Dept of Justice.

Both are now under #HomelandSecurity @DHSgov.
9/11 terrorist attacks were a justification for the reorganization.

Now, ICE agents are the terrorists.❓
Just put things back the way they were!😡 https://t.co/KRcNyiU0lW pic.twitter.com/gQP6F3EUch
