Donald Trump is unraveling in real time, and Americans are concerned
The president's inappropriate behavior may only get worse.
Within the past week, a meme that Donald Trump blames on an unnamed staffer was disrespectful of Barack and Michelle Obama and other democrats.
Many Americans believe Trump is responsible because no staffer has been named or fired for the deed. What is more alarming is that Trump refuses to take responsibility for what was posted on his social media platform and refuses to apologize.
There have been CEOs of companies who lost their positions over race issues, but Donald Trump keeps going strong. He once said he could shoot someone and get away with it.
Thus far, he has gotten away with everything he has done and faced no consequences. Now it has been revealed that the president excluded two Democrats from a usually bipartisan Governors' dinner.
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and Colorado Gov. Jared Polis ‒ both regular Democratic targets of Trump ‒ have been disinvited from the White House dinner with the National Governors Association.
Moore is Black, and Polis is Jewish and married to a man. You don't have to be a medical professional to see that Trump is unashamedly showing his bias toward Blacks, Jews, and the LGBT community.
He suggested that Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar staged her own attack and said she should return to Somalia, when she is a US citizen. He also said Somalia was garbage.
This behavior is not appropriate for the leader of the free world, and based on medical science, it will only get worse. I am a witness that this is true.
When I worked in nursing in the 1990s, I noticed a disturbing trend related to older White males. I personally did not notice this behavior in White females, or in African Americans, or in patients of other ethnicities.
I observed that White men who had been kind and gentle became beligerant and racist. They would use the N word or demand that people of color not be their caregivers.
Sometimes, family members seemed embarrassed and would insist that their loved one had not previously displayed any racial issues. On other occasions family would admit the patient had been prejudiced but now was getting worse.
Scientists say some aging men and women blurt out things that are inappropriate because they can no longer distinguish right from wrong. It is believed that aging adults revert to the way they thought when they were young.
Whatever the issue is, a president of the United States who cannot filter himself should not be in office because it's dangerous for us all. Donald Trump is not listening to his advisors and is doing whatever he chooses.
Even Evangelicals who support him are saying they were shocked by the Lion King video and calling for him to appologize. A president needs a sound mind to make proper decisions. If he is dealing with cognitive issues, they are not going away and will probably progress over time.
There have long been concerns that Donald Trump has dementia and did not recognize old friends at a 2017 dinner. Some MAGA supporters are now saying they had no clue he would behave this way in his second term, but many who did not vote for him warned that he would make decisions to hurt the poor and exhibit racism.
A leader with no empathy, who will not appologize and divides the nation, is dangerous. He also wants a third term in office, which is not the American way.
Some believe he desires another term to outdo Barack Obama, who had two consecutive terms as president. Trump lost to Joe Biden in 2020, and Obama never lost an election.
There is already talk of invoking the 25th Amendment, which would remove Trump from office. In the meantime, Americans are concerned about what he might do next.

Is there a plot to stop the browning of America?
Artificial intelligence: AI-ChatGPT-Copilot etc. pulls information from across the Internet. Sometimes the answers are off base and other times spot-on. I decided to learn what would be revealed when I asked about what some call the "Browning of America." This is a line of thinking that says the number of non-Whites is shrinking due to immigration and children born from interracial unions and that Caucasians will one day be the minority in this country. The research was exhausting, so I share what AI revealed.

The Saddest Thing - The Billionaires Who Rule America Aren't Even Enjoying Themselves
This single post says more about our ruling class than a thousand policy papers. The saddest thing about today's system is that the men robbing the rest of us - sabotaging our economic prospects, our pensions, our access to affordable healthcare - are not even happy.

Denmark and Canada Ink New Defense Cooperation Agreement
Denmark and Canada have signed a new defense cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening military collaboration, enhancing joint training, and reinforcing security across the Arctic and North Atlantic regions. The pact reflects growing concern among Western allies about emerging geopolitical challenges and the need for closer coordination between like-minded nations. The agreement was formally announced in Copenhagen following high-level talks between defense officials from Denmark and Canada. Officials described the deal as a “strategic partnership framework” that will expand cooperation in areas including maritime security, intelligence sharing, cyber defense, and joint military exercises. Strengthening Arctic Security A central focus of the agreement is the Arctic, where melting ice and increased shipping activity have heightened strategic competition. Both Denmark and Canada are Arctic nations with long coastlines and responsibility for vast northern territories. Officials said the pact would improve surveillance, search-and-rescue capabilities, and coordination in responding to emergencies or security threats in the region. “The Arctic is becoming more accessible and more contested,” a Danish defense official said. “This agreement ensures that Denmark and Canada can work more closely to maintain stability, protect sovereignty, and uphold international law.” Canada’s defense ministry echoed that message, emphasizing that cooperation with Denmark supports its broader strategy to modernize Arctic defense infrastructure and improve readiness in extreme environments. Military Training and Exercises Under the new framework, the two countries will expand joint military exercises involving naval, air, and land forces. These exercises will focus on cold-weather operations, maritime patrols, and interoperability between the armed forces of both nations. Canadian forces are expected to participate more frequently in Danish-led exercises in Greenland and the North Atlantic, while Danish units will take part in Canadian training programs in northern provinces. Defense planners say these exchanges will help both militaries refine tactics and share expertise in operating under harsh climatic conditions. The agreement also includes provisions for officer exchanges, joint research projects, and collaboration on defense technology and innovation. NATO and Allied Coordination Both Denmark and Canada are members of NATO, and officials stressed that the agreement complements existing alliance commitments rather than replacing them. The pact is seen as part of a wider effort by NATO countries to strengthen regional partnerships in response to rising tensions with Russia and increased military activity in the Arctic and Baltic areas. Security analysts note that bilateral defense agreements allow allies to move faster and tailor cooperation to specific regional challenges. “This deal shows how NATO members are building layers of cooperation beyond the alliance framework,” said Lars Henriksen, a Copenhagen-based expert. “It sends a signal of unity and preparedness.” Economic and Industrial Dimensions In addition to operational cooperation, the agreement opens the door to closer ties between Danish and Canadian defense industries. Officials said future collaboration could include joint procurement projects, shared maintenance facilities, and research into new surveillance and communications technologies. Both governments view defense cooperation as a way to strengthen their industrial bases while ensuring that their armed forces remain equipped with modern and compatible systems. Political Significance The signing comes at a time when European and North American allies are reassessing their security strategies amid global uncertainty. Recent conflicts and shifting power dynamics have prompted renewed emphasis on deterrence and collective defense. Leaders in both countries framed the agreement as a long-term commitment rather than a short-term response to any single crisis. “This is about building resilience and readiness for the future,” said a Canadian official involved in the negotiations. “Our partnership with Denmark reflects shared values and shared responsibilities.” Looking Ahead Implementation of the agreement will begin later this year, with the first round of expanded joint exercises planned for early next year. Working groups from both defense ministries will meet regularly to coordinate policy, training schedules, and technological cooperation. While the deal is unlikely to dramatically change the balance of power on its own, experts say it strengthens the web of alliances that underpin Western security. For Denmark and Canada, the agreement represents a practical step toward deeper military integration and a stronger collective posture in the Arctic and beyond. As geopolitical competition intensifies in northern regions, the new defense cooperation pact underscores how smaller and mid-sized allies are taking proactive measures to safeguard their interests and contribute to broader international stability.

Rumpty Dumpty is a ugly bigoted old man. Everything you wrote resonated with me. I just completed a story regarding the abducting of children and women. I watched the news about the Epstein files and was a little overwhelmed by the evil and sick personalities of some of the ultra wealthy,
