On 7-15-25, the Washington Post penned an article that outlines the evangelistic fervor with the MAGA theme, and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:  

There is nothing in the DNA of the Trump family that is glorifying. They are manic promoters of self-interest and predigest about all who would challenge their means and ways.

Many monied people seek ways to share their wealth in ways to help the less fortunate. It is the Trump, (and his monied friends), way to only do what benefits themselves.

       On 6-28-25, the Washington Post penned an article for" "Trump says he will move aggressively to undo nationwide blocks on his agenda" and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

“Americans are getting what they voted for, no longer will we have rogue judges striking down President Trump’s policies across the entire nation,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said, standing beside Trump at the news conference. She added: “These lawless injunctions … turned district courts into the imperial judiciary.” (Quoted the WAPO article.)

"Rouge judges"? What about our Rouge President who is creating an "imperial government". 

Why are our Supreme Court conservative Justices putting their head in the sand about that? Why aren't they paying more attention to the cadre of Constitutional academics who identify the administration's bad actors trying to rewrite our ways of governance that depart from the intents of our enabling document, the United States Constitution?

There was no voted mandate for that to occur. It's nothing but our President's attempt to centralize our government in his image. And a national call needs to be raised for the fact we are already in a "Constitutional crisis." That President also still stands as the force behind our January 6th Insurrection which proves his path was to usurp our way of government all along.

I have a word for word copy of the US Constitution and its Amendments. In the past few months since Trump's election and the continued ineptness of our elected Congressional delegates, I have reread and thought on those news reports affecting our governance. The word democracy does not appear in the Constitution. So why is it being bandied about by those Congressional and Administration elected as the method of our current governance? Clearly, those who formed our national republic had no intent for democracy's use as a governing method. So why is it used to justify what is being done (or not done) by Congress and the Administration? Maybe our 4th Estate needs to spend more time thinking about that as well.

     On 6-21-25, the Washington Post penned the article: "Abandoned by Trump, a farmer and a migrant search for a better future", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

Members of the US citizen electorate must pay attention to history. In his first term Trump expressed a lot of breast-beating about his love and support of farmers yet interfered with farm co-op created product contracts with foreign markets because they didn't have his name on them. (The source is a commodities contract administrator.) The result was Trump turning well-oiled trade agreements chaotic with tariffs and a loss of face for our independent farm commodity traders.

He's back folks and if you look, he's doing the same disservice to the innovative and talented US citizen farm cadre again. While telling you the same BS about his governance being the answer. No, it's the problem.

 

There is no organized effort being used by any migrant group in this country to commit insurrection or interfere with the social order of our society. Our elected President is concocting a campaign of lies and innuendo to flame our attitudes and justify his abuse of office in order to gain the power to usurp our State and local government controls in order to implement federal control.

     On 6-20-25, the Washington Post penned an article that: "Trump attacks Watergate laws in massive shift of ethics system", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

“You have Elon Musk, who can spend almost $300 million to elect a president — when we passed a law specifically to limit expenditures because of the abuses we saw in Watergate” (is a quote from the article).

Yes folks, the "United Citizens" decision by the Supreme Court is exactly where we started our descent from a Constitution Republic to a democracy. A government run by a wealthy majority mob with quid-pro-quo being the coin of the realm in decisions of governance.

     On 5-30-25, the Washington Post penned a commentary on the several recent court cases that appear to be giving Trump a bloody nose, and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus: 

Study on the words that come from Trump's pitiful mouth driven by his crass mind. But then, Trump will never have to worry about a future President plagiarizing any of his speeches. And his quotes will always mock him.

     On 5-26-25, the Washington Post penned an article about still another off again planned tariff for the European Union (EU) being delayed for a while, and the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus: 

These "playacting" moves by the President are causing real fluctuations of our stock market. Those fluctuations are money-makers for people in the political realm of knowing Trump's mind jumps ahead of their public release. Those kinds of possibilities used to be closely monitored by federal agencies because insider trading information makes a mockery of the level playing field that should exist in a market being used for public participation. But the mockery is our newly installed President has eliminated any chance for the ethics of that public market having an enforced level playing field. That's right, this President has totally removed any existing enforcement concern for "Ethics in Government". And that really was (and now is) his professed intent for getting elected. His design of destroying all confidence in a representative government is the cause, and we're the effect.

     On 5-23-25, a Washington Post article reported on Trump's latest tariff raise to European Union countries getting bland reactions, and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus: 

The reaction by foreign governments to the economic warfare of the United States President is akin to poking fun at the playground bullies' silly behavior. Trump deserves to be treated like the infantile character he is.

     On 5-23-25, the Washington Post penned an article that the President had ordered the Secretary of Homeland Security to nullify Harvard University's ability to attract and enroll students from foreign nations, and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus: 

Total abuse of Presidential powers, no such mandate was represented by the electoral vote. Harvard resistance is essential to demonstrate respect for the US being a nation of laws, not tyranny.
