Here I am thinking the LGBT community made great strides under Obama only to find out it was all by executive order. The protections have all likely been removed by Trump. Their protections are being denied because of party apartheid. Nobody can help them. Americans living everyday in fear from America, in America. I am not 100% certain what it means to be American, no more.
Transgender people are being openly discriminated against in America. And somehow have no constitutional protections.
Any president who lacks compassion and morality would take this opportunity to evict them from America; as Americans now have very few protections left. We have lost rights consistently under every administration since Bush Jr / 9-11-01 / False Flag by Israel/Mosaad.
I am opposed to generating any laws that pertain to non-binary people, at this stage in the history of America. I would however acknowledge that they are people, and citizens of the United States of America. Formerly, the greatest country on earth.
This form of persecution is most definitely Nazism.
Israel – Palestine two-state solution: circa 2002.

The reason why international institutions are being dismantled is because we want to eradicate any legitimate proposals that might already exist.
Every treaty signed is backed by paper.
Zelenskyy will make a buck anyway he can. The only thing more important is maintaining power.
Apparently, the Taureg – regional Al Qaeda branch; were inspired by the results in Syria, which is now run by a former terrorist leader.
” “Ukraine wanted to impress its Western partners by claiming that it was helping the rebels attack Russia in Africa as well,” said Ulf Laessing, director of the Sahel programme at the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Mali”.
Unless I am mistaken, Mali is a sovereign state. What Zelenskyy is doing is aiding terrorists who want to overthrow Mali. In his defense he says he is fighting Russia in Africa too. The sovereign state of Russia is assisting the Sovereign state of Mali maintain her independence without becoming Syria.
But once you begin to blur the lines, everything is actually legal.
By extension Europe is also to blame. They are supporting Ukraine. The money Europe lent to Ukraine is being used to fund Zelenskyy’s weapons sales to terrorists.
“Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso, all ruled by military juntas that have turned their backs on the West to move closer to Russia, have severed diplomatic relations with Ukraine, accusing it of supplying weapons to the FLA”.
We can all agree that nobody in the world wants to lose anything to Russia.
Apparently these words have fallen on death ears:
” “As distant as it may seem, the war in Ukraine and terrorism in the Sahel are connected,” Malian Prime Minister General Abdoulaye Maiga said at the United Nations in late September”.
The United States is also in Africa selling Health Care for mineral rights.
“The Ukrainian regime has become one of the main suppliers of kamikaze drones to terrorist groups around the world,” he said”.”
https://thearabweekly.com/ukraine-russia-war-tactics-seep-malis-desert-tuareg-get-help-kiev
“Another innovation from Ukraine: Fibre-optic explosive drones, which are considered difficult to detect and jam”.
(I heard anything goes if it is sponsored by Europe. We are returning to the social climate where a man once attempted to annihilate Jews in Germany and Poland. All mechanisms to prevent this have been dismantled by President Trump)

Trump the humanitarian. Or the inhumane prez: “Zambia’s health sector faced a major crisis in January, 2025, when the incoming Trump administration froze all US foreign aid, including PEPFAR”.
What can we call a Christian who is not okay with charity? What would the Christ Jesus make of that?
____________________________________________________________
The burning question: When Zelenskyy eventually leaves office will he become a mob boss in Sicily, or a terrorist leader – without a home? He does have many options. Someday, will you be proud to have funded him?
____________________________________________________________
When Iran capitulates and makes another deal with the devil, you can be certain of a new war under every new president. The fear is how Satan gets you. You do not have true faith in God. Why would you negotiate sovereign rights. You will always be somebody’s bitch; deserving your choice.
US Presidents will continue changing their mind on Iran with the blowing wind. Every president since the Iranian Revolution of 1979; which in the years prior to the US had full control of the Shah of Iran. Every president since has been tasked with returning US to her former glory. Except Obama, whom I believe still has ties to his Muslim upbringing. President Obama says he is Christian. He was the only president who took a different approach to Iran. That is the deal Trump tore up.
Iran is wise to give him something which resembles a win. That translates to weakness.
The North Korea route is the only answer to lasting peace. Or Iran should give the country back to the Shah. That will also end all conflict. It would also mean the end of empirical Iran. They all fall in the end.
I will not cover the next Iran war. Or the one after that. When the next fake deal on Iran is signed it will end all of my commentary on the matter. Rinse and repeat.
Arab and Muslim nations choose to live in fear of whitey because they lack faith. done.
(In the event you are not already aware, God expects total faith. Without giving God total faith – you are naked in the middle of a jungle)
(There are people very close by me who once imagined I could not get a job unless somebody helped me. And openly discussed this amongst themselves. I worked for 48 years and was out of work 18 months. I kept struggling, and crying out – until God took away all the pain. Since then my heart knows only peace. Unless I am feeling pain for others. Total faith.)
Final answer.
(Ultimately, and in the end all will fall who do not worship the begotten Son of God. So this is par for mans course. There is no resolution which does not include Christ. Mankind has no redeemer for all the bloodshed. Your sins are not wiped clean, they continue to burden you.)
(There are people in Israel to this day trying to do the sacrifice of the Old Testament because they know without sacrifice they cannot be redeemed. They consistently try. When they said no animals, the worshipers tried other means of sacrifice. They are being blocked, as well. The faithful realize they need redemption because all men have sin, you are born into it.)

President Trump was a much different person in 2017 when he acknowledged BiBi was the obstacle to Palestine Israel relations. This is clear evidence that we were on a path to a two-state solution under the cloned President Trump. What changed – Adelson. This is probably the last time he said the word; “Palestine”. A term he subsequently deleted from his dictionary.

____________________________________________________________
Trump would later ban the man depicted in the photo from entering the United States:

____________________________________________________________
There are very serious allegations that Trump has somehow been hijacked and replaced by a foreign power. Allegations which his own actions seem to verify. This is when the change seems to appear:

____________________________________________________________
Israel is world renown for their research in many areas to include DNA. They keep it quiet but the market place is well aware of what they have to offer. They do not tell the general public.
There is a very distinct possibility that President Donald J Trump is some form of android. People are laughing their heads off right now. Trump has either been replaced or modified; or he has a family history of bi-polar disease. Nothing else can explain the changes. People continue to support him because they are embarrassed to acknowledge the truth. The extreme change between Donald Trump’s first and second term originated from thin air. Trump is a National Security threat.
____________________________________________________________
Israel was made a Jewish State in 2018.
____________________________________________________________
In 2017 Trump demands the Palestine stop feeding their loved ones:

“The Trump administration yesterday announced its backing for a bill that would suspend US aid to the Palestinian Authority (PA) until the latter ends payments to prisoners and their families”. This is evidence of complicity in a crime against humanity. The world accepted this.
____________________________________________________________
Israeli Alt Right Art. The beginning of the rise in antisemitism 2017.

____________________________________________________________
Former President Donald Trump has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of betraying him just before the U.S. killed a top Iranian general in 2020 and is questioning the country’s intelligence prowess as it responds to Hamas’ deadly attack.
“They’ve got to straighten it out because they’re fighting, potentially, a very big force,” he said. “They’re going to have to step up their game, and the United States is going to have to step up its game.” He further criticized Israel’s defense minister, calling him “this jerk” for warning Hezbollah not to attack Israel from the north”. (2023). Fools rush in – what do you call this?

Further self-inflammatory evidence pertaining to the intent to commit Genocide.
Unattended.

July 10, 1996 in Benyamin Netanyahu’s first address as Prime Minister to a joint session of the US Congress, used the following terms:
https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/benjaminnetanyahujointsession1996.htm
(Audio is available from the .pdf)
____________________________________________________________
Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated in 1995. Netanyahu came to power in 1996 – his first false flag?
“Ben Gvir, the rising star of the current election campaign, whose Religious Zionism party is seen heading for some 14 seats in the 120-member Knesset, first captured national attention when he was filmed as a teen boasting about stealing an emblem from Rabin’s car a short time before the assassination”.
“We got to his car, and we’ll get to him, too,” he told a reporter at the time in televised comments”.

This is likely the reason why Ben Gvir can say and do anything he pleases. Netanyahu is powerless to stop him.
I believe psychologists will agree that a psychopath is defined by his first taste of blood. At some point BiBi became a wanton mass murderer, and now Trump has had a taste of blood in Persia and the Caribbean. If not for that first taste of blood things could be different.
____________________________________________________________
All things done in darkness will be cleansed by sunlight. There will be no shade. Choose wisely.
____________________________________________________________
Conclusion: Iran is certainly being attacked by two rogue terrorist nations. I am not sure what any negotiation would accomplish. They are pirates. “Captain Crook” and his sidekick “Stump”. The former American.
____________________________________________________________


What Yitzhak Rabin did for Israel was bring an end to 46 years of war, and define necessary boundaries; moderated by President Bill Clinton. I am referring to the treaty between Israel and Jordan. They killed a good leader and replaced him with another 46 years of war.
____________________________________________________________
There is a very strong possibility that Xi will move against Taiwan during Trump Madness. That is the only consistent news coming from the meeting between the two; Taiwan – for or against. Xi definitely had Trump on the ropes. It is almost too easy. Especially when Trump moves to conquer Cuba.
Now is the ideal time to perpetrate a crime against humanity, across the globe. The desensitization from allowing Genocide translates to a new definition of what is humane treatment. Any and every horrific crime you can think of is now fair game, back on the table.

Anybody who believes this does not understand the loyalty required in DC. You literally sell your soul.
My point – they would kill her and her family would mysteriously disappear. That is how DC works.
MTG is taking the slow approach of safely rebuilding a resume. She cannot use the one from DC so she is saving the firebrand rhetoric, for now.
No member of the Administration will ‘flip’. Not now or ever. When is the last time a person from any executive body in the world has left office and flipped the script? Anybody who believes this is a fool about to hatch from a chicken egg.
Rumor Pig Feast.

There are no words to this song. You just dance and hum along.
