July Fourth, Two Thousand Twenty Five.

jamie

Fourth of July.

I gotta say…I may grill up some burgers today and smoke a little extra weed (if that’s even possible). But this is not a year to celebrate freedom and liberty, when we have lost them both, our Capitol and government in the hands of TRAITORS.

We are victims of a Treasonous Coup.
Powered by billionaires and unlimited money to buy the mass media manipulation of America they needed to ‘win’. Now they seek to destroy everything we’ve worked to build, all so a few thousand rich people can get even richer.



The people no longer have representation. Both parties have overwhelmingly served the elite for years, and people’s voice has been routinely ignored to favor corporate profits and political corruption. Now that corruption has grown into total control by the most corrupt party. The party willing to do ANYTHING to win.
And here we are. King Trump and his MAGA court of violent trolls and fools.
Predictable. If you know history.

249 years ago we said NO on July 4th, 1776.
We said FUCK YOU to a King who sought to exploit us. Control us. Who sent military troops into our streets, to scare us into submission.

Today, masked secret police are disappearing people to concentration camps without due process. Troops are in the streets again. To scare us into submission.



A self-proclaimed king sits in the Oval Office. In OUR Whitehouse.


The People will serve No King nor Corporate Overlord.
Not ever.
Not in America.
July 4th, 2025. This year, it’s not about burgers and beer, and waving the flag.
It’s about purpose.

“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another…”

History repeats until you fucking learn it.

Patriots

jamie

I’m not a subversive
I’m a patriot.

Anyone can wave the flag
While denying the rights to others
Guaranteed by The Constitution.
They can call that patriotism,
but it’s obviously a lie.
Anyone can order troops into the streets
To terrorize the citizens of the
second largest city in the country.
It’s not patriotic to deny citizens their 1st amendment right to protest and object to an unjust government.
That is not American. It’s illegal here.


Patriotism isn’t fealty to one man
Patriots don’t give a FUCK about party lines
Patriots believe in the law
Patriots believe in the rights of citizens
And non citizens
To live without government oppression
True Americans believe in freedom
Freedom means we get to choose
How we live
Who we love
What we worship.

We get to decide where we live and where we go. Americans, and visitors here, get to live without fear of illegal police detainment, searches and worse.

THIS BULLSHIT is NOT AMERICA.
Masked secret police doing the bidding of their political masters is NOT AMERICAN. This is some Soviet Nazi type bullshit folks.

These people in charge are NOT patriots
They hug the flag while ignoring
The Highest Laws of the Land.
They celebrate cruelty, not justice

The insurrection has succeeded
Our Capitol has fallen into the hands
Of traitors and TREASONISTS
Religious bigots and billionaire bullies.
Privateers. Plundering the Treasury.

Thugs and thieves stealing our money and our private information. To be used against us if we speak out.
They are destroying our peaceful way of life, with lies of invasions and crime.
Just excuses to use military force
Against The American People.
Who dare to protest the abuses
By a corrupt and toxic regime.

The invaders are in power
The Crimes are happening
Right before our eyes
Committed upon The People
By a corrupt and invalid government.
Purchased by billionaires.
Operating of, by and for, absolute greed and the extortion of the American People.

The True Patriots are speaking out against this illegal hostile takeover.
True American Patriots are standing up to the treasonous fools, who are out to destroy everything we have, just so they can drain every ounce of value, from the planet and it’s occupants.

Extract. Exploit. Discard.
The rest of us pay for their excess
The rest of us pay for their egos
The rest of us pay for their lack of compassion.
We suffer their lack of empathy.
We pay with our lives.
With the lives of our children.

If you aren’t working AGAINST them, you are helping them. You are aiding and abetting the criminals, who are out to harm all of us. You are one of them.

Silence in the face of injustice is complicity

There’s No Gene for RACE

jamie

DNA doesn’t Lie.
There is NO GENE for RACE.
We Are All One Race.
HUMAN.

Descrimination because of how someone looks, is just HATE.

When we embrace our differences, we grow. We must not let fear of what we do not understand rule our lives. Everyone has their own perspective. The more we choose to understand and respect the perspective of others, the faster we grow and the stronger we become. Together.

Against all who would exploit and deprive us, of what we need to survive, in order to profit from our inability to choose.

We CAN choose. We must choose.

We must choose each other, not the rich and shameless. Equity, not exploitation. Freedom, not forced religion and journalistic propaganda. Education for all. Medicine for all.

Democracy. Not tyranny.

Today’s solution 5-9-25

jamie

A lot of government grants go to businesses that make a profit. Some, profit directly from grants that enable those profits, and aside from any corporate taxes, those profits go back to the shareholders of the company or university doing the research. The taxpayer gets nothing. Zero. And we’re talking about billions of dollars in government grants and contracts.

If the research was done using government funds, the people should benefit. Whether it’s universities or big-pharma. Space exploration, internet app, or satellite communications. If taxpayers kicked in to help you create it, we deserve our share of the pie.

Profits from any research funded by the government should be distributed directly back to the people whose taxes paid for it.

If government funds were 50% of total funding, the people should get 50% of the profits. Apply this to drug research. Space exploration or energy research. Or ANY grant recipient.

How do the people get paid back? Profits get put into a budget that MUST be used for direct public assistance. A monthly paycheck paid directly to every citizen, prioritized inversely by income level.

When there are no more poor people, the rich get a bigger share of the funds. When everyone is wealthy, the rich get 100% of the benefits. When everyone wins, we all win.

Look, ‘Trickle-Down’ is a lie. We know that. When the poor have more, they spend more, and the rich will make more profits selling it to them. Everyone wins.

Starving people by continual, planned inflation without corresponding wage growth, in order to make an extra 2% profit per year is pure stupid. Don’t even get me started with gouging and price fixing. The wealthy have many tricks to transfer wealth from YOU to THEM. It’s evil. People suffer and die because of their bottom line.

In the end, no one can afford to buy anything, and no one wins but a few overpaid fat cat profiteers, hiding behind the faceless corporations that run our lives. The middle class disappears, and just about everyone feels like they are struggling.

Sound familiar?

Today in my head

jamie

It turns out, life is never what you think it is. Several times in my life, I’ve learned this lesson. Sometimes the hard way.

Just because you think it’s important, doesn’t mean it is. We are always deciding which thoughts are important enough to act on. Everyday decisions are the real meat and potatoes of life.

Do we choose to follow the herd, or step out on our own? Stay or go. Buy or steal. Fight back or apologize. Choices we make seem right at the time, but the disasters they cause beg to differ.

All you can do is pick up the pieces and try again. Try and do it better. Make it right. Start over. Forward. Now will be the past.

The future will arrive. The doubts will clear. Maybe this time it was someone else’s fuck up that knocked us down. We’ll fuck up again. Or maybe we’ll succeed.

Doesn’t matter. The system is designed to keep you down. We’ll get knocked down, by our own stupidity or someone else’s.

And we’ll get up and do it again.
Until we don’t.
Fuck the system

The News is Dead…

jamie

Long live the Weather Channel.

America’s Most Trusted News Channel: The Weather Channel

This just in… journalism is officially dead. Long live network propaganda. The only news you need is the weather.

Now shut up and get back to work making money for your corporate overlords. Or else.

America is Coming Out

jamie

At least now the United States will have a President who accurately represents the American Republic. Trump is not a symptom of American decline, but the result of it. A criminal. Mobster. Abuser of rights. Plunderer of resources.

He personifies all the worst things America does. No filter.

America has been an imperial power since WWII. Buying or taking whatever we want. Under cover story of stopping communism, we’ve invaded Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and more. If we can’t win using economic warfare, like tariffs and corporate invasions, we send in the marines.

All of it “to protect vital interests”.
Like big oil and gas profits, and ensuring infinite future profits for the weapons industry.

Sold to the highest bidder. Everything is for sale. Except for peace. We sell weapons to both sides to ensure that unrest continues in the world, because a world without warfare is much harder to exploit for profit and power.

All the unrest and violence in the world also enables a nearly $1T per year military budget, further ensuring the profits and stabilty of weapon manufacturers…and their ever growing stock prices (=huge profits for the rich and shameless).

But good news…we’ve finally come out as a country. Now, our president will be a mob boss. No more hiding, pretending to do good.

Hey world: It’s who we really are. The Home of Monopolies and Organized Crime, The Land of the Deceived.

All that “protect the peace” and “promote democracy” BS is just the cover story. Again and again we make the rest of the world “an offer they can’t refuse”. Our words are backed by aircraft carriers, stealth bombers and nukes. Who’s gonna argue? Who’s gonna be the first next to get fed up, and decide to fight back?

I guess we’re gonna find out. And soon.
