Perhaps you’ve seen earlier versions of the ultra-right-wing “Kids’ Guide,” which present Donald Trump as an honest effective servant of the American people, and expose the “radical left” nature of mainstream media. They lay out of the “evil” of certain social issues as well: LBGTQ rights, women’s rights to an abortion, DEI, wokeism, Critical Race Theory, etc.
The one at left, called the “Dynamic Duo” (Trump and Elon Musk) enables you to “teach your kids how these two men are shaping their future.” God only know what BS it contains.
The true shape of America’s future, unless these folks are stopped, will feature:
• The further looting of the U.S. treasury to make a few billionaires even richer
• The smashing of Social Security and other systems that were put in place to bolster the working class
• The end of America’s participation in environmental responsibility and climate change mitigation in particular
• More overt racism
• Social safety nets to prevent impoverishment and starvation
• Economic chaos that experts predict will ensue from huge tariffs
• The widening of the two-tiered justice system where the rich and powerful can commit crimes with impunity
• State-controlled media, where journalists with views that dissent from Trump’s are squashed
• The consolidation of power in the executive branch
• The further empowerment of Vladimir Putin and other world tyrants
We’re in a terrible place right now, and it’s propaganda like this that is largely responsible.
A couple of months ago, I happened to ask a friend who had emigrated from Sweden if she was religious. “No!” she exclaimed. “Almost no one in Sweden is religious.”
As we see at left, there seems to be a huge correlation between atheism and the national level of happiness. But what causes that?
Are believers unhappy people for some reason? That doesn’t make sense.
Here’s my two-fold theory. Atheists believe:
a) That we only live once, so we try to enjoy it while we can.
And, more importantly,
b) That we need to take care of one another (since there is no God). We’re willing to make sacrifices if that means things like great education, universal healthcare, environmental responsibility, tolerable working conditions, and near-zero poverty.

From the Independent: “Trump Administration to Pay Two More Companies to Walk Away from U.S. Offshore Wind Leases”
From this article in The Independent:
The Trump administration announced two more payouts Monday for energy companies to walk away from U.S. offshore wind projects under development.
Bluepoint Wind and Golden State Wind have agreed to end their offshore wind leases in exchange for reimbursements totaling nearly $900 million. Both companies have decided not to pursue any new offshore wind projects in the United States, the Interior Department announced Monday.
Bluepoint Wind is an offshore wind project in the early stages of development off the coasts of New Jersey and New York, while Golden State Wind is a floating offshore wind project proposed off California’s central coast.
Trump is hellbent on destroying the renewable energy industry so as to benefit his billionaire friends in fossil fuels.
He’s on course to be remembered as the most destructive person in world history, with the possible exception of Adolph Hitler.
What is said here about Pete Hegseth is clearly true.
But keep in mind that he’s fiercely loyal to Donald Trump, and Trump couldn’t possibly care what happens to the United States, as long as he can stay out of prison and enrich himself and his family.
