What's Goin' On

 With apologies to Marvin Gay.

What's goin' on:

• The president has broken our country's promises and moral obligation to people from Afghanistan by turning his back on them.
• During the campaign, he promised that he knew nothing about Project 2025.  Yet, his executive orders are carbon copies of the Project's playbook.
• Multiple administrations from both parties have long supported USAID.  Its efforts served as "soft diplomacy" to encourage friendly relations with many countries in the world whose people were on the margins.  But now it's gone.
• I pity my children and grandchildren who will suffer the effects or the president's cancellation of funding for renewable energy projects and general rejection of climate change as a reality.  I see irony in his continued denial of climate change but insisting that climate change has changed the shipping lanes so that Greenland suddenly becomes an object of his avarice.
• What he has done to the immigration system is morally reprehensible.  Why do people want to come to the United States?  They see it as a land of opportunity and hope, when they live in hopelessness.  
• Why does he lie so much?  And his administration doubles down on the lying.  I don't know how his new press secretary can look herself in the mirror in the morning.
• Then there's the whole Elon Musk business.  If that's not frightening, I don't know what is.  Allowing unvetted persons to have access to some of our country's and its people's sensitive data borders on treason (and maybe more than borders on).
• Now he's rambling about turning over the air traffic control system to Musk's Starlink network.  What's the worst that can happen?
• Now he's charged his new Attorney General with wiping out "anti-Christian bias" from the government.  Really?  Where are Christians under attack?  Christians are the least discriminated against sector of the population.  We're not a Christian country, but that hasn't stopped us from building churches on every other street corner!
• He's questioning funding for the United Nations.  Really?  How many of us remember trick or treating for UNICEF?  His attitude oward international bodies like the UN, the International Criminal Court and the World Health Organization is very suspicious.  There's isolationism but this is ridiculous.
• While we're on morally reprehensible topics, there's Gaza.  He actually thinks he can simply declare that he's going to relocate people from their homeland and build a fabulous resort after clearing away the ruins of the Gaza war.  "It's going to be beautiful!"  Maybe that's why he gets nervous when the International Criminal Court is mentioned.
• He's signed an executive order instructing his successor to obliterate Iran if Iran is reponsible for his assassination.  He thinks he can control things from the grave.
• Where did this idea about Canada becoming our fifty-first state?  How insane is that?
• He thinks the United States should take back the Panama Canal.  Ludicrous!
• He falsely, of course, claimed that the US sent fifty million dollars in condoms to Hamas.  That makes me think someone has a worm in his brain.

I could go on but I'm sure there will be more to add to the list.

Never, and I mean never, have we had such a deranged President fostering so much corruption in our government.
