Trump is going to get Panama to refuse ships to/from US

Panama could decide to break the Neutrality Treaty and stop allowing ships to/from the US.

Trump’s statements threatening to take control of the canal certainly threaten the treaty.

Imagine what that would do to trade and inflation in this country.

Musk has serious dirt on Trump. And he is leveraging it

Trump is compromised. Remember, Jack Smith had to take Twitter/Musk to court to get him to hand over Trump’s account info including Trump’s DMs. Musk has all of that info and can use it to bend Trump to his will. Musk bought himself a severely compromised candidate and made sure he won so Musk can be the Shadow King. Trump will take all the heat for any and all disasters while Musk enriches himself through manipulation of the Executive.

To add: Musk has all Twitter DMs of all public figures as well as many influencers.

PROFIT TAX: Use this term for "Privatized" anything

When Trump talks about privatizing the USPS, remind folks that the Post Office is non-profit and the cost of shipping goods is exactly determined to cover the costs. Privatizing anything comes with a PROFIT TAX. That includes healthcare which is why we ended up with a CEO shot dead in the street. You can’t privatize essential services without throwing on a profit tax and we all know what that does in the end.

FL Woman charged with threatening insurance company... $100k bail

This is why a class war is coming

https://www.wfla.com/news/polk-county/lakeland-woman-threatens-insurance-company-says-delay-deny-depose-police/





LAKELAND, Fla. (WFLA) — A Lakeland woman was charged Tuesday after police said she ended a call to an insurance company with the words, “Delay, Deny, Depose.”

In an arrest affidavit, the Lakeland Police Department said officers were contacted by the FBI on Tuesday, Dec. 10 regarding an alleged threat made over the phone.

Briana Boston, 42, had reportedly placed a call to BlueCross BlueShield regarding recent medical insurance claims she was denied.


Boston reportedly told detectives she used the phrase “because it’s what is in the news right now,” and that she had learned of the phrase due to the UnitedHealthcare homicide.

However, Boston added that she does not own any firearms and “was not a danger to anyone,” police said.




Police and the judge should have been reminded that “Deny, delay, depose” is a term coined by the insurance execs.

Woman buys medication from Europe for 1/12th the US cost

Her meds are 12x less for a 3 month supply. The cost in US for one month is over $500 whereas a 3 month supply from Europe is $120.

Insurance won’t cover it saying its not “medically necessary”.

Imagine if she couldn’t get it from Europe or Trump adds huge tariffs for medicine from Europe.

This is why the UH CEO was gunned down.

On Edit: clarify the cost savings

The Unsolved Murder Rate Among Industrialized Nations is Highest in US at more than 50%

https://www.npr.org/2023/04/29/1172775448/people-murder-unsolved-killings-record-high

More murders across America are going unsolved, exacerbating the grief of families already reeling and worsening the largely cracked trust between police and the public, especially communities of color most affected by gun violence.


While the rate at which murders are solved or "cleared" has been declining for decades, it has now dropped to slightly below 50% in 2020 - a new historic low. And several big cities, including Chicago, have seen the number of murder cases resulting in at least one arrest dip into the low to mid-30% range.


And NYC is at 73% unsolved murders with a clearance rate of only 36% (source: https://www.nyc.gov/site/nypd/stats/reports-analysis/clearance.page)

Between 1965 and 2022 there are about 340k unsolved murder cases in the US: https://projectcoldcase.org/cold-case-homicide-stats/

I have a sinking feeling Musk will buy TikTok

He will expand his control over one of the most influential media platforms for the youth of this country. He will gain access to all of the data gathered by the platform and Musk will use this to influence elections moving forward. It would be extremely popular among the youth to save the platform, and this will be a win for the Trump admin and a loss for America.

The police are looking for the wrong murderer

They should be rounding up all the CEOs and executives of companies that deny medical claims causing millions of people to die. Approximately 45 thousand people a year die because of lack of access to healthcare. After 20 years, that is millions.
