Kevin Park's Play of the day:
Trump's Golden Age Of America?
Part 93. "Uncle Sam Is Scaring The World"
In the last ten or so days Uncle Sam has put "The Fear of God" into
nations abroad and also citizens at home in America.
For starters, President Trump ordered his military to seize Venezuela
and its President. He says that the United States will be in control of that
nation for several years to come. Then he went on to warn that Columbia could
be next and Greenland will be taken one way or another as it's needed for
U.S. National Security. Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State will be
meeting with Denmark officials later this month to discuss that matter.
Now it should be noted that over 100 Venezuelans were killed in that one
night raid. No one in the United States protested.
Then in Minneapolis, an ICE Agent killed 1 woman and protests have
broken out across the United States. How come none for 100 and thousands
protesting for 1? That is because we humans, for whatever reason, believe
"the closer something happens to us, the more important it is."
Hence we value the lives of people closer to us than those far away. That is
unfortunately, just the way we humans are.
What happened in Minneapolis was tragic. That woman is dead. That ICE Agent
will bear the guilt of his decision to shoot her for the rest of his life.
But the reaction of the Trump Administration in explaining that Loss of Life
has been absolutely ridiculous and has fanned flames of citizen unrest across
the land. First of all, only a couple of hours after that horrific event,
Kristi Noem came on TV and said~
"Our ICE Agents were stuck in a snowbank. They were
attempting to push out the vehicle and a woman attacked them
and attempted to run them over...That individual started blocking
traffic and yelling at them and impeding them. She was
a Domestic Terrorist. The Officer was hit by the vehicle."
A Video of what happened in that fatal incident is presented below.
Kristi Noem is interviewed and still believes what she said was true.
By my eyes, what Kristi Noem said was either "delusional or a lie!"
But Kristi's hasty explanation put President Trump in the
unfortunate predicament of having to agree with her. On Truth Social
he wrote~
"The woman was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting,
who then violently, willfully, and viciously, ran over
the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self-defense.
Hard to believe he's alive and recovering in hospital.
Yes, that is hard to believe Sir. None of that is apparent in the Video.
(Seems that he was "delusional or lying" too!)
Then the President was backed up by VP J.D. Vance.
He too told us that "Federal Agents have Absolute Immunity!"
My Gawd. Does he really believe that? That is untrue too.
The Trump Administration has really gotten itself in trouble with how
they mishandled this tragedy. I truly hate to see that happen.
Unfortunately, the dogmatic pronouncements by the President, Vice President
and the Homeland Security Director will strongly bias the FBI Investigation into
the death of Renee Good.
I believe the Federal Government and the ICE Agent who shot her will
be found guiltless. The only way Renee Good might get "Justice"
will be through a Civil Lawsuit down the road.
In the meanwhile, we can expect "Uncle Sam" to keep flexing muscles
and keep frightening nations around the World, including Canada.
Believe this. The seizure of Venezuela and Renee Good's death are
connected. "Bullying and Lack of Empathy" are powerfully present in both.
Why is that? Continued
