Destroying their carefully constructed democratic institutions for education, for health, for social welfare, and for retirement, and for any REAL legal framework and laws that are just. Destroying truth itself, in other words.  </p><p>This heist is an economic and power theft from both inside the country and without. Rightwing SCOTUS is absolutely corrupt and racist; their rightwing majority has left NO doubt on both counts. The government system as it stands is rotten on both sides of the house or Biden and Obama would have dealt with the Epstein horrors a long time ago: Democrats and MAGAS are equally to blame also for Epstein survivors left hanging without justice, and instead exposed by an utterly corrupt DOJ.  It is time to take an examination of our conscience.  We have spent the last 11 years talking about THEIR heist. THEIR criminals hired in place. THEIR Fascist agenda. THEIR AI. THEIR CRIMES, CRIME AFTER CRIME AFTER CRIME. The techBro billionaires, and increasingly, it looks like the Zionists, sometimes one and the same, are controlling America. They are literally choking the country to death. That is an not anti-Semitic statement, but the sad and simple truth. The Jewish lobby in Washington is strangling America: it has instructed, and are continuing to instruct the president, who is no leader, to attack Iran. </p><p>Is it not about time Americans began talking instead about what they actually want to build for the good of mankind, and particularly for the good of ALL American citizens? Something Chump has zero interest in. Not what he was hired for by his billionaire owners. What the people in the USA and in the world actually need and want, and work towards that vision with purpose? Like a<em> NEW REAL DEAL</em>. Rather than a revolving New Heist? And begin to talk with purpose and directness about the many, many crimes these criminals are committing as an absolute ruse for even greater crimes, while not forgetting what <em><strong>should be</strong></em><strong> </strong><em><strong>happening instead</strong></em><strong>. </strong></p><p>What we CAN do better, and DO have a vision for? So where is that democratic vision, Democrats?&#8212;or are you ordered around also by the Jewish Lobby and your Super PACS, with NOTHING available in the way of answers for real democratic problems? People problems. Perhaps your party is done with, too. You are controlled also by moneyed interests. </p><h3><em><strong>What is your answer to this Chumpian nightmare when so much has been DESTROYED already? Because Joe Biden would not step down soon enough, and allow a talented Democrat team to run with enough time and with a real winning platform? It was never enough to run on Trump&#8217;s obvious weaknesses and hideousness; Hillary&#8217;s campaign had proven that already. But you did not learn, Democrats. Now here we are. Because your party too is OWNED by the Jewish lobby in Washington. If I am wrong, do prove me wrong and come up with a winning platform that does not cow-tow to that lobby. That actually has a program to FIRST look after the greater number of Americans and provide the ballast for their prosperity. </strong></em></h3><p>Where is the government that is responsive and responsible to address foundational needs and to establish foundational strengths in the US society? Where is that government&#8212;a government willing to IMPEACH corrupt SCOTUS members, make new rules for how long they may serve, and establish what happens to them if they turn against their own Constitution? Defeat Citizens United. Bring back the Glass-Steagall Act. Put systems in place to check wealth and break up big companies and banks when they become TOO large. THAT is what needs to happen. And if the Democrat Party is not ready to promise and deliver and find a leader capable of delivering this, and turn away from BIG Money, <em>we are finished as a democracy</em>. We have become a Fascist, Pedophile Natiion, willing to murder blindly at the behest of a monster, Netanyahu. </p><p><em><strong>Is it not time for us to with determination take sure steps toward responsibility, and yes, towards JOY? We women in particular hold the keys to that joy. For this contingent of billionaires who put Chump in place have declared WAR on women, WAR on people of colour, WAR on immigrants, and WAR on any person of integrity or intellect. For when they stuck you [us] with a dirty, depraved animal such as Chump&#8212;a known coarse and common con man, a violent rapist, and an equally violent pedophile, someone responsible for many deaths due to Covid in his first term, and who has committed murder against Americans [at least two and perhaps many more] as well as unarmed small boats in the Caribbean&#8212;they made clear their utter contempt for Americans. And now in Iran. Those billionaires hired their thug to murder America&#8217;s soul with nary one scruple. And any billionaire who did NOT stand up to that criminality&#8212;to those WARS&#8212;is also guilty. We owe them NOTHING. </strong></em></p><p>Two faked assassination attempts, possibly all three. Now a heist in broad daylight on the IRS: this fake lawsuit. We know from the fact that the Epstein files have never been released, unredacted, that the Mossad was behind Epstein&#8217;s pedophile ring, and that Chump was highly active within it for a very long time. We know many of these powerful people now running Washington were also operatives in Epstein&#8217;s sick pedophile ring, used for the purpose of blackmailing people in positions of power around the globe. If it were not true, those Epstein files would have been released long ago, and none of this nonsense would have been necessary: the weaponization of the DOJ, Pam Bondi. Kash Patel. Tulsi Gabbard. Outrageously unqualified, amoral people. A war in Iran to work the stock market in plain sight. Threatening Denmark with war [Greenland]. A coup in Venezuela. The ballroom scam [really the Trump Bunker]. The many projects with grift at their core: phones, crypto-currency, shoes&#8212;you name it&#8212;grift, grift, grift. The Kennedy center scam, the whole Fascist Game Plan. An attempted shakedown at the IRS to the tune of 10 billion. The slush fund grift to rally ye olde January 6er&#8217;s to Chumpy&#8217;s defence, since his poll numbers have now tanked. </p><p><strong>[see the video above: Chris Hayes]</strong></p><div

the stock market, of the arms market, and a heist of one of the major choke points of trade&#8212;the Strait of Hormuz. Who is making money from that closure? Why Donald Chump and his family. All of his oil cronies. Who is playing with markets as this war settles in for a long run? Why Donald Chump when he makes these ridiculous announcements and then reverses them the very next morning. Who profits? His billionaire backers. Himself. That is what Chump wanted. None of this was accidental, although Chump seems so insane and/or plain demented that it is easy to blame much on his stupidity or insanity. But it isn&#8217;t stupidity; he is simply told what to do. He is merely a pawn of Netanyahu, and the Mossad. He is not duped; he is told. And Chumpy obeys his orders. Even as he grifts. </p><p>There is one thing to know about Chump: all he cares about is grifting. He has no other gift in this life. His middle name is GRIFT. Donald Grift Chump. </p><p>Women across the globe need to rise to this occasion, as men are propelling us towards a deathscape. A place where the imagination is dead. Already, children have become impossible. Joy is impossible. Love is impossible. The human future is impossible. An AI future is one where cold entities other than human beings begin not just to manage, but to control our very existence. Already this is happening. Drones and robots are the killing machines of the present and the future: with drones in action, there IS no <em>winning</em> side in any purported war. There is simply more and more and more killing. </p><p>More bodies, more blood, more nonsensical death. </p><p>And it is not only bodies that are dying. </p><div

is about seeking what we truly want while we have life, but should that not also mean what humans truly need for their physical, emotional, psychological, and professional health and growth? The needs of all humans, not merely the 1%?</p><p>The most emphatic metaphor of this 2nd devastating Chump presidency is a chainsaw: Musk&#8217;s bejewelled chainsaw. I want you to think about that. The sheer insanity of that metaphor. The bureaucracy in place actually also meant oversight to stop corruption, purportedly at least, and oversight to ensure the safety and security of people&#8217;s Social Security data. ANY oversight anywhere was a target for that chainsaw. That chainsaw = Chump corruption. There was NO plan from a Chump administration to grow the economy nor to help the people in any way, shape, nor form. Rather, the plan was all about destruction&#8212;exactly as laid out in Project 2025. The plan was pure unabated theft and grift. Tax breaks for the superwealthy, robbery of the people&#8217;s private data, robbery of needed healthcare, robbery of jobs, kneecapping the economy with destructive tariffs. Which has caused the world to hate America. TRULY hate. Destruction of ALL American institutions built up over many decades. AI absolute takeover, and robber barron oil companies takeover. Guess who is making all the money now? Growth in inflation, higher food costs, higher gas prices to pay for Netayahu&#8217;s and Israel&#8217;s war against Iran. The 1% of Americans is doing fabulously as they pull America to the brink of bankruptcy. But there are plenty internationally who are also profitting.  </p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://kateorlandbere.substack.com/p/sisterthink-9c3?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://kateorlandbere.substack.com/p/sisterthink-9c3?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><p></p><div id="youtube2-nkMVb0RNptA" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;nkMVb0RNptA&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/nkMVb0RNptA?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><h3><em><strong>Tell me please that had any of this behavior occurred in ANY other presidency, at any other time, this behavior would have been tolerated?

Bertrand Russell concerning <em>On the Origin of Species</em>, &#8216;a book that has changed the way we think about everything&#8217;:</p><p>&#8220;Since the time of Darwin we understand much better why living creatures are adapted to their environment. It is not that their environment was made to be suitable to them, but that they grew to be suitable to it, and that is the basis of adaptation. There is no evidence of design about it. When you come to look into this argument from design, it is a most astonishing thing that people can believe that this world, with all the things that are in it, with all its defects, should be the best that omnipotence and omniscience has been able to produce in millions of years. I really cannot believe it. Do you think that, if you were a God granted with omnipotence and omniscience and millions of years in which to perfect your world, you could produce nothing better than the tape-worm or the Fascists?&#8221;</p><p>&#8212; Bertrand Russell, Why I Am Not a Christian (1927), The Argument from Design </p><p>&#8220;When I was only thirteen I had very orthodox Swiss tutor, who, in consequence of something I had said, stated with great earnestness: &#8220;If you are a Darwinian, I pity you, for one cannot be a Darwinian and a Christian at the same time.&#8221; I did not then believe in the incompatibility, but I was already clear that, if I had to choose, I would choose Darwin.&#8221;</p><p>&#8212; Bertrand Russell, My Religious Reminiscences (1938), p. 4</p><p>Charles Darwin was an English naturalist and geologist, best known for his contributions to evolutionary theory. He established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors. Darwin published his theory of evolution with compelling evidence in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species. By the 1870s, the scientific community and a majority of the educated public had accepted evolution as a fact. Darwin&#8217;s scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life.</p><p>&#8220;If you wish to persuade people that because Adam ate an apple, all who have never heard of this will be roasted in an everlasting fire by a benevolent Deity, you must catch them young, make them stupid by means of drink or drugs, and carefully isolate them from all contact with books or companions capable of making them think.&#8221;</p><p>&#8213;

You should be ashamed of yourself not standing up. You should be ashamed of yourself for recognizing a born and bred crook when you see one. That is why I&#8217;m also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities that protect immigrants and enact serious penalties for public officials who block the removal of hardworking, taxpaying immigrants. In many cases, sanctuary cities are really drug lords, murderers all over our country. Cause I said so. When I say something, a lie, it becomes truth, didn&#8217;t you know? I am Donald Violation Trump and I am president and when I say something, it becomes REAL. Maybe not to you, but to me, and that is ALL that matters. ME. They are blocking the removal of these people out of our country. And you should be ashamed of yourself. Because I said so. I am boss around here. Fuck the truth. Fuck reality.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://kateorlandbere.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">SisterTHINK is a reader-supported publication.

Because I and the MAGA-pedophiles must win these mid-terms, or I will go to jail. And a whole lot of other MAGA-pedophiles will also go to jail. MAGA eunuchs. Now this <em>cheating, this ACT </em>is required to ensure that we win our MAGA elections. Because we know many people who are black and brown and Hispanic or women don&#8217;t like us MAGA anymore because we are arresting them or screwing them. We are gonna screw those women real good. You had better believe it. Even if they are American. Just because of their gender or their skin colour, which we don&#8217;t like because we ARE both sexist and racist. We are bigots. You knew that. You knew that all along. But you wanted to believe if you voted for us we would not throw you out of the country, or arrest you, or kill you. Fools! Racism and sexism and bigotry is rampant in America and that&#8217;s why MAGA is still alive and well. Archie Bunker never died. And Rob Reiner did. Remember, I could kill somebody on 5<sup>th</sup> Avenue and MAGA would still vote for me? Even if I don&#8217;t do a single thing good for their own situation. And it is even more blatant--their particular sycophancy. I could rape their 13-year old daughter in the middle of 5<sup>th</sup> Avenue, have my thug ICE goons rape her, and then shoot her myself, and MAGA would STILL vote for me. That&#8217;s how crazy they are. They love my particular form of malignancy. They are me. MAGA. Malignant.</p><p>It&#8217;s very simple. With the <em>Save America Act</em>, all voters must show particular, and expensive voter ID. All voters must show proof of citizenship in order to vote. That&#8217;s either a valid passport or a valid birth certificate. And if you are married, you had better have BOTH of those ID documents plus your marriage license, and hope you can afford them and the time they will take to order, because chances are your birth certificate does not match your marriage license if married more than once&#8230;there are a lot of strange name situations for women in particular. And no more mail-in ballots except for illness, disability, military or travel. If those&#8230;None. It&#8217;s all crooked, just like me. And this should be an easy one. And by the way, this is polling at 89%, including Democrats, 89%. Of course I am lying about that. And even the new communist mayor of New York City. I think he&#8217;s a nice guy, actually, speak to him a lot. Actually I despise him. Bad policy, but nice guy. Just said they want people to shovel snow. They got hit hard. Wants them to shovel snow. But if you apply for that job, I mean in a polling station, you need to show two original forms of ID and a Social Security card. Suckas! I am gonna rig these mid-terms like no tomorrow. Course, I know I may not have a tomorrow, I could die right here, so why should I care. People hate me, so screw &#8216;em! There won&#8217;t be an election in 2028 either. What for? I need the money.</p><p>Yet they don&#8217;t want identification for the greatest privilege of them all: voting in America. No, it&#8217;s no good, no good. Both Republicans and Democrats overwhelmingly agree, because I say they agree, on the policy that we just renunciated, and Congress should unite and enact this common sense, country-fucking legislation right now. And it should be before anything else happens. You know what I mean. I could be lying, but I am sure you all want it and want it now! I did the stats and more than <a href="https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/millions-americans-dont-have-documents-proving-their-citizenship-readily">21 million Americans</a> lack ready access to those documents. Roughly <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/news/2024/10/23/state-department-issues-record-us-passports/75794556007/">half</a> of Americans don&#8217;t even have a passport. Millions <a href="https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/millions-americans-dont-have-documents-proving-their-citizenship-readily">lack access</a> to a paper copy of their birth certificate. The SAVE America Act means the exact opposite of what it is called&#8212;am I not a clever POOBAH? The act would not only disenfranchise Americans of all ages and races, but younger voters and voters of color would suffer disproportionately. But fuck Americans! Fuck the young! Fuck the old! Fuck the black and the brown Americans! Fuck the women! Suckas! All of them, suckas!</p><p>And the reason they don&#8217;t want to do it, why would anybody not want voter ID? One reason, because they don&#8217;t want me to cheat. There&#8217;s that one reason. They make up all excuses. They say it&#8217;s racist. They come up with things like it is unfair and unAmerican. You almost say what imagination they have. They want me to cheat, insist I not cheat. We have to stop their support of the American people, John! [John Thune]</p><p>And here is one more opportunity to show common sense in government.</p><p>In the gallery tonight are Sage Blair and her mother, Michele. In 2021, Sage was 14 when school officials in Virginia sought to socially transition her to a new gender, treating her as a boy and hiding it from her parents. Good thing I did not know her then, I get hot thinking about it&#8230;14, my favourite age to screw children. Hard to believe, isn&#8217;t it? Before long, a confused Sage ran away from home. After she was found in a horrific situation in Maryland, probably trafficked, a left-wing judge refused to return Sage to her parents because they did not immediately state that their daughter was their son. Sage was thrown into an all-boys state home and suffered terribly for a long time. But today, all of that is behind them. Because Sage is a proud and wonderful young woman again with a full-ride scholarship to Liberty University. Sage and Rachelle, please stand up. And thank you for your great bravery.</p><p>And who can believe that we&#8217;re even speaking about things like this? 15 years ago, if somebody was up here and said that, they&#8217;d say, &#8220;<em>what&#8217;s wrong with him</em>?&#8221; But now we have to say it because it&#8217;s going on all over numerous states, just like sex trafficking. They&#8217;re not even telling the parents. But surely, we can all agree no state can be allowed to rip children from their parents&#8217; arms and transition them to a new gender against the parents&#8217; will? Who would believe that we&#8217;re even talking about it? We must ban sex or gender confusion, and we must ban that immediately. Because I said so and I control sexuality and gender around here. Me, the guy who loves to fuck children and rape women! Yep, me.</p><p>Nobody stands up, these people are crazy. I&#8217;m telling them they&#8217;re crazy. I tell everyone they are crazy, and because I say it, people believe it! Amazing. Boy oh boy. We&#8217;re lucky we have a country left after a year of my leadership. With people like this &#8212;Democrats are destroying our country with their empathy. But we&#8217;ve stopped it just in the nick of time, didn&#8217;t we? Who needs empathy? What a waste of time!</p><p>No one cares more about protecting America&#8217;s youth than our wonderful First Whore. Now a porn movie star, a startling porn movie star. Who would have believed that? Epstein&#8217;s sex-trafficked mistress. Now the first lady Whore. What a porn star! She&#8217;s a costly one, let me tell you. The most expensive this side of Epstein&#8217;s St. James Island. </p><p>Over the past year, she has had an incredible impact championing AI legislation, advancing a landmark executive order on foster care, and helping secure $30 million to launch the Melania Trump Foster Youth to independence initiative. It&#8217;s a tremendous, really a tremendous thing that happened and had a lot of bipartisan support. She gets much better bipartisan support than I do. I wonder why? Who all you sleeping with, honey? I get none, she gets a lot. Someday you&#8217;re gonna have to tell me how you did that. And students and educators in every state have joined the First Lady Whore&#8217;s efforts in the presidential. I challenge keeping America&#8217;s next generation position to succeed and strongly succeed in the future. Tonight, we welcome two young people whose lives reflect the first Lady&#8217;s impact. Sierra Burns and Everest Nevraumont. Thank you both. And Melania, thank you. I know how hard you worked on whatever it is you did.</p><p>Thank you very. I&#8217;m very proud to say that during my time in office, both the first four years and in particular this last year, there has been a tremendous renewal in religion, faith, Christianity, and belief in God. This is especially true among young people, for Gawd knows what reason, and a big part of that had to do with my great sycophant Charlie Kirk. Great eunuch. Great sucka. Now he&#8217;s dead. Sucka. Yahoo did that, ya know. Mossad job. Charlie had to go; wasn&#8217;t doing what he was told to do. Bye bye Charlie. </p><p>So last year, Charlie was violently murdered by a MAGA assassin. We said this. It wasn&#8217;t true. And martyred, really, martyred for his beliefs because I said so. His grifter wife, Erika, is with us tonight. Erika. Please stand. Grift before us.</p><p>Thank you. Erika, thank you a lot. In Charlie&#8217;s memory, we must all come together to reaffirm that America is one nation under OUR God. The MAGA God. And we must totally reject political violence of any kind if it means they are shooting at me. We love religion, MAGA religion. Sexist religion, racist religion, bigoted religion. The only kind we know. And it&#8217;s coming back at levels that nobody actually thought possible because I said so. It&#8217;s really a beautiful thing to see, above all, unleashing America&#8217;s wealth to we billionaires requires keeping our communities stupid. We have made incredible strides in that vein, keeping you dumb as rocks. And I keep releasing criminals and pardoning them, so they can grift in the ministry and everywhere possible. <em>Our </em>Jesus loves to grift.</p><p>We are honored to be joined tonight by a woman who&#8217;s been through hell, Anya Zarutska. In 2022, she and her beautiful daughter. So beautiful. What a beautiful young woman Iryna fled war-torn, war-torn Ukraine to live with relatives near Charlotte, North Carolina. And by the way, what&#8217;s going on with Charlotte? Last summer, 23-year-old Irina was riding home on the train when a deranged monster , someone like me, who had been arrested over a dozen times and was released through no cash bail, like I do pardoning my monsters, stood up and viciously slashed a knife through her neck and body. No one will ever forget. Especially me, I am so terrified of blood. There were actual people on that train. No one will ever forget the expression of terror on Irene, his face as she looked up at her attacker in the last seconds of her life. She died instantly. She had escaped a brutal war, only to be slain by a hardened criminal set free to kill in America came in through open borders. Mrs. Zarutska, tonight, I promise you, we will ensure justice for your magnificent daughter, Iryna. We are using you as a prop here, and retraumatizing you for my own purposes and grift, but thank you for being useful, you and your dead daughter. Thank you. That description turned me on. I&#8217;ve been looked at that way, come to think of it, I am sure of it. That look she gave him&#8212;young girls have looked at me just like that before I raped the crap out of them.</p><p>How do you not stand, how do you not stand? I&#8217;m asking this Congress to pass tough legislation to ensure that violent and dangerous repeat offenders are put behind bars, and, importantly, that they stay there. I know I have caused a lot of death and pain by pardoning all manner of monsters in the past year, including the January 6<sup>th</sup> rioters&#8212;who DID kill Officer Sicknick at the least. But don&#8217;t be thinking about that right now!</p><p>Starting last summer, I deployed our National Guard and federal law enforcement to restore law and order to our most dangerous cities, including Memphis, Tennessee big success. New Orleans, Louisiana. A big success in our nation&#8217;s capital itself. Washington, D.C., where we have almost no crime anymore in Washington, D.C. How did that happen? Me, it is all because of me. I LOVE violence.</p><p>In fact, crime in Washington is now at the lowest level ever recorded, and murders in D.C. this January were down close to 100% from a year ago. That&#8217;s because now ICE is doing the murdering&#8212;and staff at our Humbling Centers. Where we send immigrants and Americans and just about anyone we can round up, to be properly humbled. They don&#8217;t like to hear that. Suckas! You will be hearing more about these centers. Soon! You just might get humbled to death. The thought of it turns me on. </p><p>One of the brave service members who helped achieve this stunning turnaround was 20-year-old West Virginia Army National Guard Specialist Sarah Beckstrom. After a four-month deployment, she voluntarily extended her service. Her rank was going to be lifted and she was doing so well and was so proud of her. But the very next day, she was on patrol in the White House when she was ambushed and shot in the head by a terrorist monster from Afghanistan. Shouldn&#8217;t have been in our country. And all because she wore the uniform of our nation. She was shot. He traveled here because he would have been killed in his own country as he colluded with our military during the USA&#8217;s stay in Afghanistan, and many of his own family died when we left them behind when we suddenly pulled out of Afghanistan. He became mentally ill in America with no family and so much racism, but could get no mental health treatment even though he really was part of our military. And now he didn&#8217;t like the people wearing our uniform. He was sick and deranged and we were to blame for that&#8230;but so what? Fuck Afghanistan. Fuck him. Shouldn&#8217;t have been in our country. Sarah Beckstrom died in order to defend our Capitol, and we are honored to be joined by her wonderful parents, Gary and Evalea.</p><p>Your daughter was a true American patriot and she will be greatly missed. She was a great person; I did not know her, but I said it, so it is true. I saw reports on her, they&#8217;ve never seen anything like it. I mean her, not her getting shot. </p><p>So sorry. Thank you very much. A great young lady. I saw reports they were like, perfect, she&#8217;s perfect. Me, I am not so perfect. </p><p>Serving alongside Sarah that day was Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe. The terrorist shot Andrew in the head, and no one thought he could possibly make it. The two of them, Sarah and Andrew shot violently in the head. I guess that would have to be violent. How do you shoot someone in the head without it being violent? Neither was expected to make it. To live I mean. I don&#8217;t mean make out, which is what I usually mean. You know what I mean. They weren&#8217;t even given any chance. Except his wonderful mother, named Melanie, who I spoke to the same night, and she was so positive. The doctors thought that Andrew was gone, but his mother said, &#8220;no, no, Mr. President, he&#8217;s going to be fine&#8221;, and no before he&#8217;s going to make it. I&#8217;ve never seen anything like it. I mean, he was given almost no chance. She said, &#8220;I have no doubt, Sir, he&#8217;s going to be okay.&#8221; This was the conversation that I had with her that night, with the son laying in bed, blood all over. Everybody is praying. She said, &#8220;Sir, he will be okay.&#8221; The doctors didn&#8217;t understand what she was saying and after looking at the results of the damage done, neither did I. He looked pretty dead to me, to be honest. She was so strong and conclusive that even Andrew&#8217;s great father felt she didn&#8217;t really understand the gravity of the situation, but she turned out to be right. Right, Melanie? She turned out to be right.</p><p>Amazing, actually. I said &#8220;where does this woman come from, she&#8217;s the most positive person I&#8217;ve ever met?&#8221; She could wish her son alive. With God&#8217;s help, Andrew has battled back from the edge of death. And we&#8217;re talking about the edge of death, on his way to a miraculous recovery. He&#8217;s got a little work to do, but he&#8217;s doing great. Nice to see you&#8212;he&#8217;s a good-looking guy, for a guy with a few holes in his head. Nice to see you. Thanks, Andrew. Thank you very much for being my proof that I am a nice guy. Thanks for the blood and all.</p><p>So Andrew, now you&#8217;re up, you gotta stand up, buddy. I&#8217;m going to ask a highly respected Gen. James Seward to present staff sergeant Andrew Wolfe and the great family of Sarah Beckstrom with the award created by our late, great president, George Washington himself. It&#8217;s called the Purple Heart.</p><p>We love you all. Love you. I don&#8217;t love anybody but myself, but you know I gotta say it.</p><p>We&#8217;re proudly restoring safety for Americans at home, and we are also restoring security for Americans abroad. Our country has never been stronger in grift. My first 10 months, I ended eight wars, including Cambodia [slurring]. I can&#8217;t spell it. Okay I can&#8217;t say it either.</p><p>Isn&#8217;t it funny? You sick people. Sick fucks.</p><p>Cambodia and Thailand. Pakistan and India would have been a nuclear war, that&#8217;s two more. 35 million people said the Prime Minister of Pakistan would have died if it were not for my involvement. Kosovo and Serbia, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia. Armenia and Azerbaijan, the Congo and Rwanda. And of course, the war in Gaza, which proceeds at a very low level. Just a few murdered here or there. Hardly counts. It&#8217;s just about there, the genocide is just about over. So what. Sick fucks. And I want to thank Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner for your help in the genocide. Good bloody job. Thank you, Steve. Thank you, Jared. And I also want to thank the man they report to, Secretary of State. Marco Rubio. Oh come on, Marco, don&#8217;t look so intense. I don&#8217;t bully you in private like the piece of turd you are. I own your little balls, remember that. You are complicit Rubio. And if I roast, Rubio, you will roast too.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9fzI!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F186b8549-1c36-41e7-85ac-90a73727c79a_1365x2048.webp" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9fzI!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F186b8549-1c36-41e7-85ac-90a73727c79a_1365x2048.webp 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9fzI!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F186b8549-1c36-41e7-85ac-90a73727c79a_1365x2048.webp 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9fzI!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F186b8549-1c36-41e7-85ac-90a73727c79a_1365x2048.webp 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9fzI!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F186b8549-1c36-41e7-85ac-90a73727c79a_1365x2048.webp 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9fzI!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F186b8549-1c36-41e7-85ac-90a73727c79a_1365x2048.webp" width="1365" height="2048" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/186b8549-1c36-41e7-85ac-90a73727c79a_1365x2048.webp&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:2048,&quot;width&quot;:1365,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:198418,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/webp&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://kateorlandbere.substack.com/i/189265702?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F186b8549-1c36-41e7-85ac-90a73727c79a_1365x2048.webp&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9fzI!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F186b8549-1c36-41e7-85ac-90a73727c79a_1365x2048.webp 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9fzI!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F186b8549-1c36-41e7-85ac-90a73727c79a_1365x2048.webp 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9fzI!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F186b8549-1c36-41e7-85ac-90a73727c79a_1365x2048.webp 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9fzI!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F186b8549-1c36-41e7-85ac-90a73727c79a_1365x2048.webp 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p><em>Marco Rubio knows he is seriously screwed for being part of this administration. </em></p><p>Thank you. Thank. People like you. You know, Marco got 100% of the votes when he was in confirmation&#8212;I think our next one was about 54%. And some of the Democrats are now saying, I can&#8217;t believe we approved that guy. And he said, it&#8217;s an honor that they feel that way. Right, Marco? You have done a great job, great eunuch Secretary of State. I think he&#8217;ll go down as my Best Eunuch Ever.</p><p>Now, under the cease fire, I negotiated every single hostage, both living and dead, has been returned home. Can you believe that? Those dead walked home on their own two legs. Nobody thought it was possible. Nobody thought that was possible.</p><p>Both living and dead. And those parents who had a dead son, their boy, they&#8217;d always tell me <em>their boy</em>. They wanted him as much as though he were living, maybe even more. That was an amazing period of time. And they came back, those dead ones. And when we got all of the living hostages back and many, many before them. But I always said those last 20 are going to be very tough. But we got many, many more hundreds. But I said those last 20 are going to be tough. We got them back, but we only got back 14 or 15 of the dead of the 28.</p><p>And believe it or not, Hamas worked along with Israel and they dug and they dug and they dug. It&#8217;s a tough dig, ya know, all those bones, the stench&#8212;it&#8217;s a tough thing to do, going through bodies all over, passing up 100 bodies sometimes for each one that they found alive, I think alive. Maybe they were dead. What do I know?</p><p>Tough job and they finally got it back to 27 and then Steve and Jared, they got it back to 28. They found the last dead guy in all those genocidal bones. Took them forever! They found all 28; nobody thought that was possible but we did it and I remember the family of the 28th&#8212;they were so grieved, but they were so happy as happy as it&#8217;s possible to be they had their boy back. The mother said &#8216;sir, we have our boy back.&#8217; What a period of time that was, but we got them all back, so thank you both very much. You are great diggers.</p><p>And we&#8217;re working very hard to end the ninth war, the killing and slaughter between Russia and Ukraine, where 25,000 soldiers are dying each and every month&#8212;think of that, 25,000 soldiers are dying a month. A war which would have never happened, if I were president. Oh, that&#8217;s right, I am and I did not stop it. Putin is such a pussy. Would have never happened. Fuck Putin. But, I am his bitch and fuck him anyway. </p><p>As president, I will make peace wherever I can, but I will never hesitate to confront threats to American hegemony, American billionaires, wherever we must. That&#8217;s why in a breakthrough operation last June, the United States military obliterated Iran&#8217;s nuclear weapons program with an attack on Iranian soil known as <em>Operation Midnight Hammer.</em> We hammered those fuckers. For decades, it has been the policy of the United States never to allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. Many decades. Since they seized control of that proud nation 47 years ago, the regime and its murderous proxies have spread nothing but terrorism and death and hate. I love hate as you know. But they&#8217;ve killed and maimed thousands of American service members and hundreds of thousands and even millions of people. With what&#8217;s called <em>roadside bombs</em>. We use the too, but that&#8217;s beside the point. They were the kings of the roadside bomb. And we took out Soleimani. I did that during my first term. Had a huge impact. He was the father of the roadside bomb, not the nuclear bomb, but the roadside bomb. And just over the last couple of months with the protests, they&#8217;ve killed at least, it looks like, 32,000 protesters&#8212;32,000 protesters in their own country. They shot them and hung them. We stopped them from hanging a lot of them with the threat of serious violence. We threatened to kill 1 million of them, and then hang them upsidedown. Or nuke them. Why not? Fuck Iranians.</p><p>But these are some terrible people. They&#8217;ve already developed missiles that can threaten Europe and our bases overseas, and they&#8217;re working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America. After <em>Midnight Hammer</em>, they were warned to make no future attempts to rebuild their weapons program, and in particular nuclear weapons, yet they continue to plug away at it. They&#8217;re starting it all over. Imagine? They were not hammered enough. Now they want us to come back and rehammer them! We wiped it out and they want to start it all over again and are at this moment again pursuing their sinister ambitions. We are in negotiations with them to persuade them not to be rehammered. It costs us so much! And we are busy with the Mexicans and the Venezuelans and the little boats in the Caribbean. They want to make a deal, but we haven&#8217;t heard those <em>secret words</em>, &#8220;We will never have a nuclear weapon, ever ever ever again.&#8221; Oops, I guess they are not so secret anymore. My preference, my preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy. I am so good at it. Fuck those Iranians. Why do they want to be hammered?! Why? I have enough red ink! But one thing is certain, I will never allow the world&#8217;s No. 1 sponsor of terror, which they are by far, to have a nuclear weapon. Can&#8217;t let that happen. Because I said so. The Grand Poobah of Hammering. The Greatest Fuckler of all time. </p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://kateorlandbere.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share SisterTHINK&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://kateorlandbere.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share"><span>Share SisterTHINK</span></a></p><p>And no nation should ever doubt America&#8217;s resolve. I am that kind of Resolve. We have the most powerful military on earth. I rebuilt the military in my first term. Me. Only. We&#8217;re going to continue to do so also, which is to approve a trillion-dollar budget. We have no choice&#8212;we must have that trillion or I am fucked. Because I have a country, this one, that is, to control and quell. We have to be strong, because hopefully, we will seldom have to use this great power that we built together. It&#8217;s really called peace through strength, that has been very, very effective. I know I stink, but the strength of that stink of corruption, man it just permeates everything these days, and SO effectively. Stink stank stunk! Love that corruption! Fuck Americans! Gaslighting you&#8212;gaslighting Americans, that&#8217;s what I <em>LOVE </em>to do. This speech is my biggest gaslight yet.</p><p>So, thanks to MAGA Republican eunuchs in Congress, we&#8217;re investing that record number of dollars&#8212;we have no choice&#8212;in the United States Armed Forces, also creating a lot of jobs, but we&#8217;re not even doing it for that reason. We need to control you-all, the people, because you might just become another Iran! Because, as I said, we have more jobs, more people working today than ever before in the history of our country. And NATO countries, our friends and allies&#8212;they are, they&#8217;re our friends and they&#8217;re our allies&#8212;have just agreed, at my very strong request, to pay 5% of GDP for military defense rather than the 2%, which they weren&#8217;t paying, we were paying for almost all of that. Now they&#8217;re paying 5, as opposed to not paying 2. And getting that 5% was something which everyone said would never be done, could not happen. Sure, we are no longer part of NATO so when we are attacked, they are not coming to our defense. And they don&#8217;t even share secrets or intel with us anymore: we are on our own. &#8216;Cause I screwed them over. Stabbed them in the back, in the American way. They hate our guts now. They probably hate every single part of our bodies. Neither does Canada trust us, whom we royally screwed. Cute little Canada, although gotta admit, they did not lay down and die. But we will take her yet. We got it all really easily with one meeting. The Europeans, I mean. And, a big difference between 2% that&#8217;s not paid, we were paying the freight of many of them, very few were paid up, now 5% then they&#8217;re paid. So there! So what they are no longer our allies. Screw them! And everything we send over to Ukraine is sent through NATO and they pay us in full. They pay us totally in full, and every branch of our Armed Forces is setting records for recruitment. This is so exciting. I SOOOOO love money. </p><p>And every service member. And every service member recently received a warrior dividend of $1,776. You know, they cleared up my desk, we got the money from tariffs and other things, a lot of money we have with, much more money than people understand, have to rebuild that program a little bit but it won&#8217;t take long. But we got all the money and it was $1,775 and they wanted my approval. And I said, what&#8217;s the number? $1,775. I said, wait a minute, for one more dollar, we can have $1,776. I said, we&#8217;re going to figure that out. I never asked anybody if we could afford it. And I never do! One more dollar. I said $1,776. And I said that&#8217;s good. And I&#8217;ll tell you what, our military, that was four months ago, I never see a person in the military that doesn&#8217;t thank me for this scrap I gave them. So, we&#8217;re honored to do it&#8212;give &#8216;em scraps. They just better never ask for Health Care and Gawd forbid they honour the sacred oath they take to the Constitution. I let Mark Kelly know enough of that. Fuck the Constitution! Fuck Kelly! So, we call it &#8220;1776.&#8221; It was great. And we love our military as long as they are loyal to me and NOT to their Constitution. We love our law enforcement; we beat the crap out of them though on January 6<sup>th</sup> and then the first thing I did was pardon those rioters who were responsible for killing and maiming and badly hurting and traumatizing the Capitol police force. Which I made sure, by the way, on that day that Capitol police force was inadequate to the rioters. Since I knew exactly how many rioters were coming. Wasn&#8217;t that fun to watch? All those senators of both parties scuttling everywhere, so scared. Fuck senators! We love a fireman. The firemen don&#8217;t get enough love. We love firemen. We just do, but they should rake more forests to stop fires. Remember Paradise, California? Poor suckas. They are dead. But fuck the climate change hoax.</p><p>We&#8217;re also restoring American security and dominance in the Western Hemisphere, acting to secure our national interests and defend our country from violence, drugs, terrorism, and foreign interference for years. Large swaths of territory in our region, including large parts of Mexico, really large parts of Mexico, have been controlled by murderous drug cartels. Not as murderous as our ICE cartel, but murderous enough. That&#8217;s why I designated these cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and I declared illicit fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. Because I said so. And with our new military campaign, we have stopped record amounts of drugs coming into our country and virtually stopped it completely coming in by water or sea. You probably noticed that. The little boats being blown sky high in the Caribbean? Very seriously damaged their fishing industry, also. Funny, nobody wants to go fishing anymore. We&#8217;ve also taken down one of the most sinister cartel kingpins of all. You saw that yesterday. Mencha. Yeah, we did that&#8212;not Sheinbaum. Fuck Sheinbaum! Fuck Carney! Who needs neighbors?</p><p>In January, in January, elite American warriors carried out one of the most complex, spectacular feats of military competence and power in world history. No one&#8217;s seen anything like it. Foreign leaders, I won&#8217;t tell you who, but it was Putin, my buddy, my owner, who called me and said, very impressive, very impressive. They couldn&#8217;t believe, they all watched, they saw what happened. This is a different fighting force than we had years ago when we fought to tie. You know, it&#8217;s a great fighting force. I&#8217;m so proud of it. Look at Space Force. <em>Space Force is my baby</em>. As we did that, my baby is becoming so important. And America&#8217;s Armed Forces overwhelmed all defenses and utterly defeated an enemy&#8212;good fighters&#8212;to end the reign of outlawed dictator Nicolas Maduro and bring him to face American justice. I sure hope I don&#8217;t get arrested like him, as after all, I am really a rogue dicktator right now! And this was an absolutely a colossal victory for the security of the United States. A bright new beginning for the people of Venezuela. We&#8217;re working closely with the new president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodr&#237;guez, to unleash extraordinary economic gains for both of our countries and to bring new hope to those who have suffered so terribly. They really did suffer. Now I have a new cash cow in Venezuela. More billions pouring into my own offshore account. This presidential Ponzi gig is so great! Never had so much money in my life. I am literally drowning in cash.</p><p>With us tonight is Alejandro Gonzalez. She grew up in a tight-knit Venezuelan family and was especially close to her beloved Uncle Enrique. But after Enrique ran for office and opposed Maduro, he was kidnapped by Maduro&#8217;s security forces and thrown into the regime&#8217;s really infamous prison in Caracas. Alejandro feared she would never see her uncle again. She feared for her own life, also. But since the raid, we have worked with the new leadership, and they have ordered the closure of that vile prison and released hundreds of political prisoners already with more to come. We don&#8217;t care what they did, they will all be released.</p><p>Alejandro, I&#8217;m pleased to inform you that not only has your uncle been released, but he is here tonight. We brought him over to celebrate his freedom with you in person. Enrique, please come down. Thank you, Enrique. Now go have a good time. Nice to have you back, Enrique. You were never here, but welcome back. </p><p>There were many heroes on that January raid to capture Maduro. Really great heroes. It was very dangerous. They knew we were coming. They were all set. But the deeds of one warrior that night will live forever in the eternal chronicles of military valor. Chief Warrant Officer 5 Eric Slover planned the mission and was the flight lead in the cockpit of the first helicopter. A big, beautiful, powerful helicopter. Was a massive Chinook carrying, as you can imagine, many, many American warfighters wearing the dog tags his wife Amy had blessed with holy water before he left. She knew it was going to be a rough one. Eric steered the Chinook under the cover of night and descended swiftly upon Maduro&#8217;s heavily protected military fortress. This was a major military installation, protected by thousands of soldiers and guarded by Russian and Chinese military technology. How did that work out? Not too good.</p><p>While preparing to land, enemy machine guns fired from every angle. And Eric was hit, very badly, in the leg and hip, one bullet after another. He absorbed four agonizing shots, shredding his leg into numerous pieces. And yet, despite the fact that the use of his legs was vital to successful helicopter flight, Mike said the most important part of flying a helicopter to deliver the many commanders who would capture and detain Maduro was the only thing Eric was thinking about. And even as he was gushing blood, which was flowing back down the aisle&#8212;a helicopter lands at a steep angle. The machine guns stood right in front of him. They were right in front of him. Two machine-gunners who escaped the wrath of the previous planes. Eric maneuvered his helicopter with all of those lives and souls to face the enemy, and let his gunners eliminate the threat, turn the helicopter around so the gunners could take care of business, saving the lives of his fellow warriors from what could have been a catastrophic crash deep in enemy territory.</p><p>Only after safely landing the helicopter with all the warriors aboard in the exact right spot, which was vital to the mission, probably would have happened. Maybe cancel the mission if that didn&#8217;t happen. Eric told his copilot, also wounded, but not as gravely, to take over. <em>I&#8217;m about ready to pass out. </em>The success of the entire mission, and the lives of his fellow warriors hinged on Eric&#8217;s ability to take searing pain. It was unbelievable what&#8217;s happened to his legs. Of the bullets and keep on flying and landing. People knew what was happening. Everybody in the back of the helicopter knew because they saw the blood pouring down the aisle. Chief Warrant Officer Slover is still recovering from his serious wounds, but I&#8217;m thrilled to say that he is here tonight with his wife, Amy. Eric and Amy, come on in. So, we have a surprise, Eric and Amy. In recognition of Eric&#8217;s actions above and beyond the call of duty, I would now like to ask General Jonathan Braga to present Chief Warrant Officer Slover with our nation&#8217;s highest military award, the Congressional Medal of Honor. Too bad about your legs. I know you will never walk again on your own, but those are the tough breaks. Be glad you do not have bone spurs, too.</p><p>Well, thank you very much, Eric and Amy. Great to get to know you. I met with them and with a lot of their fellow warriors at Fort Bragg recently. You notice the name Fort Bragg. We have it back. We brought it back because we love to brag so so so much. We won the First World War with it, the Second World War with it, and then they decided to change the name. But we changed it back. Everybody wanted it changed back, too. You know who&#8212;I can buy everybody. And 10 of Eric&#8217;s fellow warriors from that incredible night of victory will also be receiving medals at a private ceremony that will soon be held at the White House. They will come to grovel at my feet.</p><p>Thank you, Eric. That&#8217;s a big one. Tonight, we&#8217;ve celebrated many truly extraordinary American patriots. But there is one last living legend to honor before we go. He is one more heroic American aviator, Navy fighter pilot Royce Williams served in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, flying more than 220 missions in the skies over Korea. In 1952, Royce was in the dogfight of a lifetime. Legendary dogfight. Flying through blizzard conditions, his squadron was ambushed by seven Soviet fighter planes. It was his first aerial combat of the war, and despite being massively outnumbered and outgunned, Royce led the takedown of four enemy jets and almost destroyed the others, they got just a few bullets, and got away, vanquishing his adversaries while taking 263 bullets to his own plane and being seriously hurt. His story was secret for over 50 years. He didn&#8217;t even want to tell his wife, but the legend grew and grew. But tonight, at 100 years old, this brave Navy captain is finally getting the recognition he deserves. He was a legend long before this evening. Royce, please stand up and I will ask the first lady, my whore, to present Captain Royce Williams with his Congressional Medal of Honor. She hates me but she does not hate you. I promise.</p><p>Thank you, Eric. I&#8217;ve always wanted the Congressional Medal of Honor, but I was informed I&#8217;m not allowed to give it to myself, and I wouldn&#8217;t know why I&#8217;d be taking it unless for the greatest grifter of all time. But if they ever opened up that law, I will be there with you someday &#8216;cause I cannot help my sickness. But you know, that&#8217;s our highest honor, the Congressional Medal of Honor. And that&#8217;s a big thing for really, really really big GRIFT. BIGLY. I am capable of it. And it&#8217;s an honor to be in the same room with you. Thank you both very much. Thank you for being my prop in this big &#8216;ole con game. I don&#8217;t have any record at all except as a liar, grifter, a con, a fraud, a rapist, and a pedophile. That&#8217;s my claim to fame. All of it. I am great at all of it. The grand POOBAH. </p><p>Thank you. Two-hundred fifty years is a long time in the life of a nation. But in another sense, it&#8217;s really a mere moment in the eye of history. Two of the gentlemen we met in the gallery this evening took their first breaths one century ago. One hundred years before that, on July 4th, 1826, the author of the Declaration of Independence, brilliant Thomas Jefferson, drew his last breath. Just a single long human life span separates the giants who declared and won our independence from the heroes who stand among us tonight.</p><p>Everything our nation has done, all the horrific things, and everything we have achieved that is any good, has been the work of those few great lifetimes. Certainly not mine. I know that, but whatever. In those brief chapters, Americans built this nation from 13 humble colonies into the pinnacle of human civilization and human freedom. The strongest, wealthiest, most powerful, most successful nation in all of history. That&#8217;s me and my billionaire buddies. We built it. Americans ventured out across the daunting and dangerous continent. We carved passes through an unforgiving wilderness, settled a boundless frontier, and tamed the beautiful but very, very dangerous wild west. From empty marshes and wide-open plains, we raised up the world&#8217;s greatest cities. Together we mastered the world&#8217;s mightiest industries, shattered history&#8217;s monstrous tyrannies. Including my own. You will, won&#8217;t you? And we liberated millions from the chains of fascism, communism, oppression and terror. Of course, I love Fascism&#8230;and that&#8217;s where we are going as I speak. FASCISM. Yes! Yes! Yes! Suckas!</p><p>Americans lifted humanity into the skies or the wings of aluminum and steel. And then we launched mankind into the stars on rockets powered by sheer American will and unyielding American pride. We wired the globe with our ingenuity. We captivated the planet with American culture and now we are pioneering the next great American breakthroughs that will change the entire world. <em><strong>All of this, and so much more, is the enduring legacy, unmatched glory of the hard-working patriots who built and defended this country and who still carry the hopes and freedoms on all of humanity&#8217;s backs.</strong></em> <em><strong>The ones living and dead.</strong></em> <em><strong>You guys, suckas! </strong></em>For years, they were forgotten, betrayed, and cast aside. Who? But that great betrayal is over, the one I want you to believe in, suckas, and they will never be forgotten again. Because when the world needs courage, daring, vision and inspiration, it is now turning away from America in disgust. Now they hate us Americans because of my bullying and threatening and screwing them. Fuck them!</p><p>And when God needs a nation to work his miracles, he knows exactly who to ask. There is no challenge Americans cannot overcome, no frontier too vast for us to conquer, no dream too bold for us to chase, no horizon too distant for us to claim. For our destiny is written by the hand of Providence. And these first 250 years were just the beginning. From the rugged border towns of Texas to the heartland villages of Michigan, from the sun-kissed shores of Florida to the endless hills of the Dakotas, and from the historic streets of Philadelphia to right here in our nation&#8217;s capital, Washington, D.C., the golden age of America is upon us. Because I said so, and I am ransacking America while I flash these words of comfort in God&#8217;s name. You know I have never believed in any God and I never have attended a church. Gawd forbid. I like to bully, rape, and fuck people over. I like to kill. I like to kill dreams, too. What would I have to do with a God?</p><p>The revolution that began in 1776 has not ended. It still continues because the flame of liberty and independence still burns in the heart of every American patriot&#8212;but MY patriots. Only mine. And our future will be bigger, better, brighter, bolder, and more vicious than ever before. For the billionaires. For my puppeteers. For my masters Putin and Netanyahu. Thank you. God bless you suckas, and God bless America, which is now mine. Because I said so. Fuck Americans! Fuck America! Fuck American democracy and the Constitution!!</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"
