My dear fellow Americans
It’s not like we haven’t done this before.
We church-going folk began this nation by murdering the people who had befriended us, then herding the survivors from their lands into miserable Indian reservations, where we repeatedly have broken treaties with them.
We church-going folk brought black people here in chains, many of whom died in the stinking holds of ships and under the lash of masters.
We kept them in slavery for years and, to this day, treat them as second-class citizens, except for the few who amuse us with their athleticism and other entertaining skills.
We church-going folk continued the two-thousand-year hatred of Jews, barring them from restaurants, clubs, and schools while conveniently forgetting that Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and their descendants, whom we worship as gods, all were Jews.
None of us know why we hate them, but we do, so ingrained is hatred in our bones.
We church-going folk denied women the vote, then reluctantly gave it, only to deny them healthcare during their times of greatest physical stress. As this is written, young American women are refused aid on the doorstep of a hospital or die in labor, in this the year 2024,
We church-going folk sent yellow-skinned American citizens to concentration camps during WWII because they physically resembled people from another nation we warred with. We stole their lives with bigotry.
During Operation Wetback, until then, the worst mass deportation in United States history, 1.3 million people were swept up in the Eisenhower campaign with a racist name to purge undocumented Mexicans from American society.
The Monster
And now, we plan the ultimate cruelty.
While Hitler killed “only” about seventeen million people — mostly Jews, but also political prisoners, the disabled, Romani people, and others deemed undesirable by the Nazis — the Monster has made clear that he will destroy the lives of anywhere between twelve and twenty million innocent men, women, andchildren.
The Monster envies Hitler’s record and wishes to exceed it with your help.
He boasts he will undertake “the largest mass deportation in American history.” (His words.)
Why?
Why would this be a source of pride to any normal human being?
These immigrants are not criminals.
The criminal immigrants already have been and continue to be deported.
No, these are people whose only crime is to lack a piece of paper saying they are citizens.
These are hard-working, tax-paying men, women, and children — CHILDREN! — who live here peacefully, contribute to America’s economy, and often work difficult jobs that benefit the rest of us.
(Yes, they pay taxes, despite not receiving many benefits these taxes supposedly provide.)
The Monster will rip them from their homes onto busses and trains- “cattle cars?” — and send them God knows where.
Why? How does that make America better, safer, richer, or more envied by the world?
He claims, as Hitler once did, that undocumented immigrants “are poisoning the blood of our country.”
Really? Has your blood been poisoned by an immigrant because he is not a citizen?
Would youdrag even one child from his home to satisfy the hate-filled blood lust of a Monster?
Visualize going to a door, grabbing a child, and pulling her, screaming, onto a crowded bus for transport away from home.
Does that give you a feeling of pride? Satisfaction? Does that “cleanse” your blood of poison?
No?
Yet, Edison Research exit polls showed 39% of voters said most immigrants in the U.S. illegally should be deported.
Why? How would those 39% benefit? How do your children benefit from seeing this cruelty?
Imagine the pain, the horror. What benefits you and America from this abomination?
Children are not born evil. They become evil by being exposed to evil. They become cruel by being exposed to cruelty.
Is that what your child will become? A Monster?
Tom Homan, a former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) expected to join the new administration, said in a late October interview that the scale of the deportations would hinge on potential officers and detention space.
“It all depends on what the budget is,” he said.
The greater the budget, the more misery he will cause.
That should shiver a chill down the spine of even the most callous human being.
A deportation operation targeting millions would require many more officers, detention beds, and immigration court judges. American Immigration Council, an immigrant advocacy group, estimated the cost of deporting 13 million immigrants in the U.S. illegally as $968 billion over a little more than a decade.
And that doesn’t count the cost of millions of lost workers and millions of lost customers for American businesses.
And the cost of our lost morality.
Why? Why the abject cruelty? How will we benefit from this abomination– this new stain on America’s history?
When Pontius Pilate presided over Jesus’ trial, he reportedly washed his hands to signify that he was not responsible for Jesus’ crucifixion.
Do you object to this crucifixion of innocent men, women, and CHILDREN?
Or do you simply wash your hands?
Oh, the children. Can you visualize it? Dragged from their homes and sent weeping into misery.
Why? What will your children learn when they see this happening to other children? Will they learn the hatred you have been taught?
“Bleeding Heart Lib”
You church-going, self-proclaimed religious folk, don’t you dare kneel and cross yourselves before God while you stand by and say nothing, do nothing, even aid and abet the Monster.
Don’t you dare pray to Jesus, Joseph, and Mary while you countenance evil.
In Luke 10:25-37, Jesus tells the story of a Samaritan who helps a man who is beaten by robbers while others pass by without offering aid.
The parable emphasizes loving your neighbors, regardless of their background or status.
It calls us to show mercy and compassion to all, including strangers.
Even back then, there were monsters, which is why Jesus specifically spoke of kindness to strangers.
Pew Research says that 82% of White evangelical Protestants, 61% of White Catholics, and 58% of White nonevangelical Protestants support the Monster.
How can this be?
What do you tell your minister about why you don’t object to the abomination?
Do you fail to mention it because you’re embarrassed by the perfidy?
Or do you attempt to justify the torture of innocent people?
Do you sneer at “bleeding-heart libs”? Do you sneer at God?
Why has the Monster’s hatred infected you? Was it ill-treatment by your parents?
Did your schoolmates bully you? What twisted your mind free of compassion and made you seek to punish innocent men, women, and children?
Unsurprisingly, the Monster doesn’t plan to finish with his deportation horror. He wants to expand it to include legal American citizens — children born here in America to immigrant parents, who by law are citizens.
Today, a significant portion of the U.S. population, young and older, comprises birthright citizens.
The Monster wishes to repeal the 14th Amendment and deport them all.
Why? How will you benefit?
And then you Latinos, you Jews, you other children of immigrants. A special place in hell is reserved for you who support the horror, knowing how your own kin suffered from hatred.
Have you seen the devil incarnate and embraced him? Will that be part of your prayer to God?
Are we now CINOs (Christians in name only), JINOs (Jews in name only), and other religious frauds? Have blacks, yellows, and reds departed from morality while forgetting that elections have consequences?
Has America fallen so far that we no longer may even claim to be the shining city on a hill and a beautiful example to the world?
Have we become so tainted by the Monster’s hatred that we no longer can find our morality?
When you pray to God for the safety of your spouse, your children, your dear friends, yourself, will God remind you of your cruelty to innocents?
The world is watching. God is watching, Hell is waiting as we willingly descend, down, down, down into the black hole of dictatorship.
Are we lost as a people?

The Sole Purpose of Government Is to Improve and Protect the Lives of the People.
This is a kind note to all of you who voted for Donald Trump.
AMERICA
First, you will be pleased, perhaps surprised, to see that there will be a peaceful and lawful, civil transfer of power.
Unlike in the previous election, the losing leader will not urge followers to deny the results, install fake electors, and attack Congress; this election transition will be calm.
You may be amazed to see no riots, false claims, lies, or denials.
The loser will not plot revenge and retribution.
She will congratulate the winner, and democracy will continue into the new administration.
If you voted for Donald Trump, and you are a woman, pregnant or might become pregnant, a black, brown, yellow or young person, gay, Latino, Mulsim, Jew or other Non-Christian, or a union member, poor or middle-income, or hoped for a college education your family can’t afford, do not be disappointed at what happens during the next four years.
That is the way democracy works. Not everyone gets what they want.
President Trump has been quite clear about his plans to increase your taxes via import duties while giving tax cuts to the rich, deport millions of good working families, and install judges to approve his own and his followers’ criminality.
Expect convicted criminals to be pardoned.
So please do not cry, “Gee, I didn’t realize he would do that.” Yes, you did. It’s why you elected him.
He was quite honest in that regard.
Have patience. It’s only four years, and he’s old, so perhaps less. This will be a good learning experience for America. The compassionate among us will welcome you back to kindness and normalcy with open arms.
Meanwhile, sorry, but ignorance has its penalties.
Be good to each other. Ultimately, we all live in the same house.

The Sole Purpose of Government Is to Improve and Protect the Lives of the People.
There are penalties for ignorance, and America pays them every day:
Almost Half of Medicare Patients Can’t Afford a Single Hospital StayNew University of Pennsylvania research highlights growing health care affordability crisis.By Huey Freeman
Read that headline again. Digest it’s meaning.
You have original Medicare. You are sick. But you can’t afford to go to the hospital. And you are not rare. Almost half of Medicare patients are just like you.
What the hell??
Americans who rely on Medicare to pay for hospital stays are often unable to pay the cost of the standard deduction,sometimes producing a financial shock.
I’m Uncle Sam. I have the infinite ability to create dollars. Even if you don’t pay me one penny in taxes, I could keep spending forever. But don’t ask me for money to pay for your healthcare. I tell everyone I’m broke.
Think about it, more. The federal government is Monetarily Sovereign. That means:
It never can run short of dollars.
It neither needs nor uses tax dollars to pay its bills. It just creates new dollars, every time it pays someone.
Those FICA dollars that are deducted from your pay, supposedly to fund Medicare, don’t fund anything. The govenment destroys them upon receipt, and creates new dollars to pay doctors, nurses, hospitals, etc.
But for some reason, which I’ll explain later, the government insists that you pay 20% of the bill.
Three years ago, my wife died in the hospital after a 2-week stay.
The bill was somewhere over $400,000 in total. Medicare paid $320,000. Fortunately, I paid for supplementary insurance, which covered nearly all the rest.
But for most people, that $80,000 would have landed them in bankruptcy court.
Why? Why does Medicare not pay the entire cost?
And so long as we’re asking questions, why do we have an alternative called Medicare Advantage that covers some things Medicare doesn’t, but with restriction original Medicare doesn’t have.
Why doesn’t original Medicare simply cover everything? Remember, the federal governmennt, being Monetarily Sovereign, cannot run short of dollars.
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine found that almost half of such patients have insufficient funds to pay the $1,600 payment, the standard out-of-pocket cost.
Why, the out-of-pocket cost? Here are reasons given:
Medicare doesn’t cover 100% of costs for several reasons:
Cost Control: Having beneficiaries share in the cost helps control overall healthcare spending and prevents overuse of services. (The false beliefs are that the government can run short of dollars and people will visit the doctor too much.)
Sustainability: Given the rising healthcare costs, partial coverage helps ensure the program’s financial sustainability. (Same false beliefs as #1)
Incentive for Supplemental Insurance: Encourages beneficiaries to purchase supplemental insurance(Medigap) to cover the remaining costs, providing additional financial protection. (Apparently, the profits of private insurance companies are more important than the people’s finances.)
Budget Constraints: Full coverage would require significantly higher government spending, which might not be feasible given budget constraints. (Unnecessary budget constraints).
And now for the real reason:
5. The politicians are bribed by the rich (via campaign contributions and lucrative jobs) to widen the income/wealth Gap between the rich and the rest. The Gap is what makes the rich wealthy, and the wider the Gap, the wealthier they are.
Federal funding for health care narrows the Gap, so politicians invent excuses to claim it can’t be done.
Even beneficiaries with incomes above the federal poverty level sometimes cannot meet this expense after depleting their savings, according to the study results published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.However, the financial burden extends far beyond just the poorest Americans. “Many Medicare beneficiaries with modest incomes are at risk for financial hardship from costs of a single hospital stay,” the researchers wrote.
Think of yourself as a billionaire, and one of your kids can’t afford medical treatment. Would you allow him to go bankrupt? The federal govenment would.
“Nationally, 36 percent of beneficiaries report difficulty paying medical bills or delaying care due to cost concerns, and those with multiple chronic conditions and serious illnesses are at particular risk for high out-of-pocket costs and economic hardship,” they noted.While Medicaid (not Medicare) and private supplemental insurance can help cover these costs, qualifying for such assistance often requires proving extreme financial hardship.
First, you must be destitute and prove it.
Patients must prove that their income is at or below the federal poverty level—currently set at $15,060 for individuals and $20,440 for couples in 2024. There are also asset limits of $2,000 for individuals, and $3,000 for couples.
However, some (red) states have set higher thresholds, extending Medicaid limits to 138 percent of the federal poverty level.
Why is there a need for Medicaid. Why not Medicare for All?
Additionally, access to full Medicaid benefits, including long-term care, depends on income criteria that varies by state—typically ranging from 75 to 100 percent of the federal poverty level.
Why should there be income criteria? Why must people go broke to be healthy?
Compounding the problem, fewer Medicare beneficiaries now carry supplemental insurance compared to previous years.
It’s too costly because it’s private, for-profit insurance
Among the 4,881 beneficiaries included in the Medicare study, 45 percent lacked sufficient funds in their checking and savings accounts to pay the Medicare hospital deductible.
Intolerable for the United States of America, a Monetarily Sovereign nation that acts like a 3rd world nation.
Seniors face many hardships resulting from health challenges that extend beyond just medical bills, according to Helen Levy, associate professor at the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research. Levy’s research identifies three main channels that lead to lower quality of life for seniors: decreased income, increased medical expenses, and the direct effects of health symptoms themselves.“The first two of these—lower income and higher medical spending—are much less quantitatively important than the third; in a nutshell, poor health makes it harder to get by with less,” Levy wrote in her article on the effects of poverty on older Americans.
“How dare you people ask for free health care like I get. Do you think the government is made of money?” Uh, well . . .
And then, what follows, is a clear expression of the ignorance that punishes us:
The key question that arises from this new study is how to respond to this insight, Dr. Chad Savage, an internal medicine physician, told The Epoch Times.“A common reaction is to expand insurance policies or government programs to cover an ever-growing range of medical costs,” said Savage, a member of Samaritan Ministries Inc., a group whose members share medical expenses.“However, this approach would increase the cost of coverage, thus, diverting more of the patients’ limited resources toward taxes and insurance premiums, and ultimately, depriving them of the funds they could have used for direct medical expenses.”
Dr. Savage’s comments are based on the wrong claim that the Monetarily Sovereign federal government cannot afford to fund a comprehensive Medicare for every man, woman, and child.
“The real issue, however, is why Americans remain so unprepared for medical expenses when they inevitably arise,” Savage added. “A legislative solution to address this could involve incentivizing proactive savings for medical costs that will inevitably occur as part of life.”“By creating incentives for Americans to contribute to Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) or Medical Savings Accounts (MSAs), they could gradually build up funds to cover out-of-pocket expenses for their own medical care when needed,” he said.
Dr. Savage is totally divorced from reality.
Many people are unable to meet all financial obligations of food, rent, and clothing, much less contributing to HSAs
For most Americans, saving enough in an HSA to cover major or recurring health issues would be impossible.
With infinite funds, the federal government can and should pay all medical expenses. The whole purpose of a government is to protect and improve the lives of the people.
What is the purpose of a government that can’t or won’t do it?
Here is what we need:
Free comprehensive Medicare for All.
Cover everything that Medicare Advantage covers, but do it in original Medicare. One program for all health needs.
No FICA payroll tax deductions. No fake “trust funds” (that aren’t trust funds). More generous payments to providers to attract more people into the field and more hospitals and clinics.
The federal government not only can afford it without collecting one additional penny in taxes, but the money spent by the government would grow Gross Domestic Product. And no, it wouldn’t cause inflation. See why.
The Dr. Savages of the world seem to reverse reality. They think people’s purpose is to improve and protect the government, while the government’s desires come first.
It’s nuts.
But as I repeatedly have said, there is a penalty for ignorance, and the people of America are paying it.
