I appreciate how much work you put into this, Ron. But reading it in such a concentrating form.....it's unrelenting. It makes me want to slit my wrists at the thought of 3 more years of this. The country is already unrecognizable.

This will not go for another three years. We the People are rising strong. Just wait.

I hope so. It’s what I’ve been encouraging America to do for a long time.

This just in from Gil Duran's "The Nerd Reich" newsletter: [https://www.thenerdreich.com/tech-billionaires-threaten-to-flee-california-again/]

"Tech billionaires in California are furious. A new proposal for a wealth tax on the super rich has them packing their bags and threatening to leave the Golden State for good.

" ... Oligarchs regularly make such threats and fail to follow through, so we must take such antics with a grain of salt. But the possibility of a new tax on super wealth shows that backlash against the fat cat class is coming, and the billionaires’ threats to flee show just how much they fear fairness and accountability.

"The Service Employees International Union-United Health Workers union is pushing a ballot measure to impose a one-time 5% tax on California billionaires. If approved by voters, it would apply retroactively to anyone living in the state on January 1, 2026.

" ... While the measure is not yet on the ballot, the billionaires are panicking. And they have a powerful ally: California governor Gavin Newsom, the former right-wing podcaster who is running for president in 2028. Newsom β€œis raising money for a committee to oppose the measure,” per the NYT. (So thoughtful of Newsom to come to the aid of the poor suffering billionaires at this particular time in history.)

" ... Even Ro Khanna, Silicon Valley’s congressman, has jumped on the bandwagon.

β€œI echo what FDR said with sarcasm of economic royalists when they threatened to leave, β€˜I will miss them very much,’” Khanna, who is cozy with some of the worst billionaires in tech, wrote on X.

"This drew howls of protest from several tech zillionaires, who are now threatening to fund a primary challenge against him."

I agree, Ron. These are valuable references to the fire hose of horrors intended to overwhelm us.

I also hope you supplement this with two more important records: 1) a list of every person the Orange Tyrant has pardoned, what they were convicted of and sentenced to, and any criminal conduct they've committed since their pardons, and 2) a list of every media organization, law school, college, university, and corporation that paid money to the tyrant regime instead of standing up to defend our Constitution, the law, free speech, and civil liberties for *all* Americansβ€”and what perks they got in return for their cowardly, greedy corruption.

I would really love to print this list of 500 when completed. It is so overwhelming. I can only read in small snapshots. I don't want to miss anything.

MSNow had a list of 12! Are you kidding me 12? I'm liking these posts as we know 12 just doesn't cut it.

Kudos to Ron for this immaculate portrayal of the hell we’ve been living in for the last year. It’s hard to read and relive these horrendous actions of the most corrupt administration in history, but we owe it to ourselves to keep this in the forefront of our minds.

I’m having trouble getting myself to read the worst things list…small increments of reading and then a break. So awful and so sad. Thank you, Ron. I read you everyday even when it’s painful. How did we let this awful person surrounded by awful people, all embracing awful unconstitutional, anti-democracy, anti American ideas, take over our once (a year ago) wonderful country?

Ask the Nerd Reich. Ever notice how this climate of social division, isolation, and self destructive tendencies started the same time "smart" phones and social media algorithms took off? Lots of research on this subject.

I hate social media. Ive said it many times. My happiest day will be when I can delete all this BS and see it all go down in flames and we get our country back. Thankfully I found a place I trust in MTN. I dont know if I would have ever started to follow anyone if it was not for them. Thanks to all of you that give us hope. The sewer of lies and fake propaganda must be addressed in some way. The damage it is doing to humanity is going to end civility.

unfortunately they are too blinded to be able to see the truth. Being completely indoctrinated by Fox Propaganda, they will never see the light. All psychologists say that getting a person de-programed from a cult is nearly impossible.

Ron you're the best for doing this. Day 3 and again I don't need to read it as I lived it and want to spare myself the concentrated horror.

Stay sane Ron πŸ’™.

Please don't confuse *all* Dems with the clueless party "leadership." We must start vetting all candidates now to expose the ones who are being bought off by big tech and fat cats so they can't secure a nomination.
