#48 Insanity
100 Reasons NOT to vote for a Republican in the Midterm Elections!
How do you spend your weekend free time? Mow the grass? Play a round of golf? Nap? Go to the beach? Nothing exciting, but normal.
What is disturbingly abnormal is how our POTUS spends his leisure time. Over more than ten hours, he posted sixty times online. That’s nuts but doesn’t begin to describe the deeply disturbing content of that cyber-binge. What Trump posted might be marginally acceptable for a thirteen year old having trouble coping with the real world, but for an eighty-year-old man to display such lunatic fantasies in public? Pure Insanity. The following clip illustrates the dizzying madness occupying the Oval Office. (I apologize that you have to endure a 15-second commercial but I promise you won’t be disappointed – terrified more likely.)
https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/calls-grow-to-invoke-25th-amendment-after-trump-s-ai-truth-social-posts/ar-AA2bJME5?ocid=BingNewsSerp

As the link reveals, the content of these posts again forces consideration of whether the Cabinet should meet to decide whether the president is competent to lead. I share that concern. I don’t want the man who posts these demented images to have access to nuclear weapons.

The clip shows a spate of disturbing images of Trump’s face on Hulk Hogan’s body, a dark lord Trump ruling the D.C. night and other craziness.
Then there are a series of self aggrandizing images of Trump winning a war against Iran.

Then there are the delusions of religious grandeur. Like Jesus Trump?
https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/04/trump-jesus-AI-top.jpg

Are Catholic Trump supporters OK with this?
As the crazed POTUS predicts, the following image is guaranteed to generate nightmares.
https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA2bO8tu.img?w=534&h=892&m=6&x=296&y=408&s=43&d=43
If this were my patient, I would call in a psychiatric consultation. Who better than a Nobel Prize winner.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/top-psychiatrist-delivers-disturbing-warning-about-trump-s-mind/ar-AA2bvjsK?ocid=BingNewsSerp
Henry Abraham MD repeats his earlier determination that Donald Trump is unfit to govern; a view supported by thirty-five other psychiatrists. He asks the very pertinent question of whether an airline pilot or a neurosurgeon would be allowed to work after displaying comparable symptoms – whether you would get on that plane? BTW, Abraham’s 1985 Nobel Peace prize was not given to him by a Venezuelan ditz; his is real.
We know that this Cabinet does not have the moral fortitude to take over the function of the government. Only you, the voter, can defang the president by not voting for the craven, neutered candidates the Republicans have nominated for the midterm elections. Please cast your votes for the safety of our nation and its people, specifically including your own families.
Please read these messages, comment on them and share them with your contacts. Most important, do NOT vote for any Republican who has denied the 2020 presidential election or who has allowed Trump to torment hard-working immigrants and conduct foreign wars without congressional approval i.e. almost every last Republican.

#47 Ever more ridiculous
100 Reasons NOT to vote for a Republican in the Midterm Elections!

The United States government, its people, its leaders, its president have always been dignified, or at least have tried to be – until now. Today we have become a pathetic joke worldwide. Those who have admired us, those who have resented us, those who have feared us, now laugh at us. How could the United States to have become a pathetic clown car in just a few months? It gets worse every day. Take September 9, 2026 – today.
First up, the writers of the TV comedy cartoon series “South Park” have changed the name of the show to “South America”,
“"Inspired by the bravery and patriotism of Apple and Google, we are changing the name of South Park to SOUTH AMERICA," creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker wrote in a statement.”
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp9340rg7k8o
thus throwing a satirical harpoon at Donald Trump’s ludicrous penchant for trying to rename geographical features like the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario. (He also tried to rename the state of New Mexico this week, but he has no official power to do so.) Stone and Parker also skewered the cowardice of corporate America (Apple and Google) in acquiescing to this embarrassing foolishness. They did not spare their own bosses.
“"We especially want to thank our parent company Paramount - a Skydance Capitulation," its creators said in the post.”
The Associated Press (AP) did not play it safe with corporate cowardice, will not bend the knee and will continue to call Lake Ontario, Lake Ontario. The Trump administration has punished the organization for past resistance.
“Last year, the AP similarly defended its decision to continue using the Gulf of Mexico instead of the Gulf of America, after Trump issued an executive order to rename that body of water. The White House in turn banned AP reporters from covering its events, leading to a prolonged legal battle over the wire service’s First Amendment rights.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/09/09/ap-says-it-will-refer-lake-ontario-by-its-original-name-despite-trumps-order/

On a darker note, our preposterous president is repeating “weird” lies about his role in 9/11 again. He is again claiming that he directly witnessed terrified workers leaping to their deaths from the World Trade Center to escape the flames, when this would have been impossible from four miles away.
He also revisited false claims that he had sent a work crew to assist in rescue activities and had personally been “carried away” from a dangerous situation by New York City firefighters. These absurd claims have been repeatedly debunked by fact checkers, but Donald just can’t stand not being the center of attention, at all times.
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/trump-tells-weird-lie-about-where-he-was-on-9-11.html
Aren’t you humiliated that Donald Trump is turning our beloved country into a laughingstock? Aren’t you ashamed that you enabled this by voting for him in 2016 and 2024? Aren’t you disgusted by those toadies who enable him? Show some backbone. Show some remorse. Show some common sense. You can partially atone for he harm you have done by refusing to vote for any Republican party candidate, during the midterm elections.

#46 More Broken Promises
100 Reasons NOT to vote for a Republican in the Midterm Elections!
There are a couple of reasons that a promise can’t be kept. The first is that circumstances change drastically and it proves impossible to keep one’s word. Second is that with the best of intentions, you based your promise on wrong information. Third, is when you never had any intention of keeping the promise in the first place. You told a bare faced lie.
These are Donald Trump promises. He promised each of his three wives that he would be faithful to his marriage vows. Stormy Daniels proves that he must have had his fingers crossed. He promised the businesses he contracted with that he would pay his bills. He promised students at Trump University that they would get a high quality education.
N.Y. Times writer Steven Rattner has listed multiple other examples.
https://stevenrattner.com/article/trumps-broken-promises-in-11-charts-new-york-times/

“America will be a manufacturing nation once again, and we have something that no other manufacturing nation will ever have.” January 20, 2025.
21 months later there are approximately a million fewer factory jobs – with a clear continuing downward slope. Guess he never anticipated that people in other countries would stop buying our goods when he imposed high tariffs? Anyway, promise broken.
Well, you may have been among the million or so unfortunates who lost your job, but at least you have affordable health insurance. But do you? Trump promised on February 24, 2026
“Costs were going to go way up, and that’s what happened, and now I’m bringing them way down on health care and everything else.”
You believed this barefaced lie and voted for Donald Trump. How did that turn out for you? Currently the average monthly premium for a benchmarked health plan went up 25% to $625. You should have known better; didn’t your mother teach you never to trust a liar? Didn’t you read in the news that Trump has told more than 30,000 lies just in the past few years?
https://factually.co/fact-checks/politics/trump-30000-lies-claim-explained-879c42
I feel bad for you, especially if you can’t afford these high prices and you and your family are now at risk of medical catastrophe - without coverage. But you bear some of the responsibility if you voted for Trump and other Republicans in 2024. You didn’t just hurt yourself and your family, you hurt millions of others.
2.3 million American families lost health care coverage during Trump’s first term.
https://insuranceinformant.com/under-trump-how-many-individuals-lost-their-health.html
Why would you believe things would be different the second time around? Are you still going to vote for Republicans who have been threatening to get rid of Medicare and Medicaid for decades in the midterm elections? Some people never learn.

#45 Science Fiction Fascism
100 reasons NOT to vote for a Republican in the Midterm Elections!
Our whack-job POTUS was at it again last night, this time proposing new uniforms for Space Force. They have to be seen to be believed!
https://www.orlandosentinel.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/TOS-Z-Space-Force-Trump-01.jpg
As a childhood fan of “right-wing, sabre-rattling SciFi” from Robert Heinlein, I immediately recognized the uniform from “Space Troopers”, the 1997 satirical send-up of Heinlein’s 1950s novel. See for yourselves.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120201/
Add a dual lightning bolt insignia to Trump’s uniform and you have a close facsimile of a n**i SS storm trooper uniform from World War II.
SS uniform - Search Images
This might be slightly less unforgivable if Trump had worn a military uniform after high school, but as all must know, his father arranged an exemption from service on the basis of “heel spurs” from a compliant podiatrist.
https://lawandcrime.com/legal-analysis/trumps-bone-spur-exemption-from-vietnam-may-have-been-illegal/

It is, accordingly, simultaneously humiliating and terrifying that a science- fiction villain holds dark-lord control over the U.S. military. And when I say control, I mean control. Our med and women in uniform have lost their right to first amendment protection, as illustrated by what is happening to a long-serving Air Force major, who is courageous enough to speak the frightening truth about his supreme commander. He faces loss of pension and military prison if convicted.
https://www.military.com/air-force-major-ucmj-who-keeps-calling-for-trumps-impeachment-charged-with-10-counts-under-military-law
Thank you for your service Major Watson.
The Republican party and its elected officials are cowards who, daily, fail to speak out against the lunatic, fascist, militaristic, jingoism of a draft dodger, who considers the death of 18 military personnel and the wounds of 750 others to be “small potatoes”. No Republican candidate who condones this behavior (all do) deserves your vote in the midterm elections.

#44 Promises, Promises – Broken
100 Reasons NOT to vote for a Republican in the Midterm Elections!
Republicans have always scolded Democrats because they don’t understand the simple policical maxim
“It’s the economy, stupid.”
Now who’s stupid? New York Times writer Simon Rattner explains.
On September 5, Donald Trump promised voters
“We’re going to grow like nobody’s ever grown before.”
The truth is that gross domestic product has grown downward to 1.8% from a peak of 2.9% under Joe Biden in 2023. Promise broken.
On April 22, 2025, Trump vowed to his gullible Republican base
“But now its our turn to prosper and in so doing, use trillions and trillions of dollars to reduce our taxes and pay down our national debt, and it’tt all happen very quickly.”

During his first term, Trump added $7.8 trillion to the national debt. To paraphrase Albert Einstein, electing the same politician again and expecting a different result defines insanity. Trump’s promised debt reduction didn’t happen “very quickly”; it didn’t happen at all. National debt skyrocketed to $40 trillion dollars and will soon exceed the enormous debt incurred during World War 2. Increasing federal debt is typically inflationary. Today is no exception.
Inflation? Let’s pull on that thread. On August 9, 2024, Trump pledged that
“Starting on Day 1, we will end inflation and make America affordable again and bring down the price of all goods.”
Didn’t happen. Inflation spiked above 4% during 2016 and currently equals wage gains i.e. workers are no better off then thay were almost two years earlier and trending downward..
Trump made very specific promises with regard to gasoline prices.
“Energy is going to bring us back. That means we’re going down and getting gasoline below $2.00 a gallon.”
This was a big whopper. Nationally, gas is selling at twice that level - $4.15/gallon. Price in California is $5.85/gallon. And make no mistake, the rise in fuel costs is a self-inflicted wound. It is entirely caused by Trump’s decision to wage war upon Iran, with the cringing acquiesnence of the Republican Congress.
Winter is coming and heating oil, electrical and natural gas heating costs will be substantially more expensive.
https://minihomehub.online/blog/winter-2026-heating-cost-predictions-state-province.htm

Bond rates are rising, driving up interest rates and making it harder for workers to buy a home. The Fed signals a probable raise in interest rates and Trump is desperate and frantic, threatening to cut international trade.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/04/business/economy/trump-trade-threats-fed-rate-cuts.html
That is not just stupid; that is not just irresponsible; that is batsh*t crazy!
Republican voters, you were taken in by a lying scoundrel. That was dumb; you should have known better. But you can make up for that mistake. Pay attention to an old maxim this time around.
“Fool me once, shame on you,
Fool me twice, shame on me.”
Please don’t be foolish enough to vote in the midterm elections, for Republican candidates who will not keep their promises.
Please read these messages, comment on them and share them with your contacts. Most important, do NOT vote for any Republican who has denied the 2020 presidential election or who has allowed Trump to torment hard-working immigrants and conduct foreign wars without congressional approval i.e. almost every last Republican.

#43 Bungled Diplomacy
100 Reasons NOT to vote for a Republican in the Midterm Elections!
When Donald Trump took office for the second time, the U.S. was the world leader in diplomacy and the new president was openly lobbying for a Nobel Peace Prize. We had good working relationships with our neighbors in Canada and Mexico. We were an integral component of NATO, a group of nations in western and central Europe resolute in restraining the Russian colossus and in SEATO keeping China and North Korea in line.
He first roiled diplomatic still waters with a raft of injudicious tariffs that angered our trade partners and disrupted our own commerce.
https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/programs/geoeconomics-center/trump-tariff-tracker/
He lied to the American public, claiming that foreign sources would pay these tariffs and when most tariffs were ruled illegal by courts, he repays the importers but not the American customers who were harmed ($166 billion) by this foolishness.
https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/us/tariff-refund-trump-to-begin-refunding-166-billion-in-tariffs-starting-monday-check-who-is-on-the-list/articleshow/130390547.cms

Fast forward two years and all of this power, all of this leadership, all of this good will has largely imploded. Russia continuously attacks our former ally Ukraine and threatens incursions into Poland and other allied countries. Trump has foolishly alienated Denmark over threats to seize Greenland, insulted multiple European leaders and irretrievably weakened our position in the NATO alliance.
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/07/08/trump-yelled-at-nato-leaders-in-public-in-private-it-was-a-different-story-00989982

Closer to home he has failed in attempts to bully and humiliate our northern neighbor for no concievable reason or possible national benefit.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce8xd5k1krpo

As if our reputation in South America were not bad enough already, he routinely insults Mexico, its leaders and citizens. He commits war crimes, bombing boats and killing their crews, without evidence, in defiance of international law and follows up with military adventurism and regime change in Venezuela. This morphs into a naked shakedown and barefaced extorsion of Venezuelan oil resources.
https://www.newsweek.com/trump-venezuela-deal-shameful-gift-dictators-elliott-abrams-12401212

As if that was not enough peacekeeping, he participated in a Pearl Harbor style undeclared bombing and missile attack on Iran, targeting that nation’s leadership in a bungled attempt at regime change. This failure has resulted in an even more hard-line fundamentalist government in Iran and a six-month war that has drained our armories, run up government debt, stoked domesting inflation and disrupted global economy, when Iran – completely predictably – retaliated by shutting down the Persian Gulf and its 20% contribution to global oil supply.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/aug/22/trump-iran-war-midterm-elections

Is America in a stronger international diplomatic position of strength under this Republican administration? Certainly not. Most important, Trump could not have caused this harm without the full support of his elected and appointed officials. This can change if voters are wise and responsible enough to NOT vote for any Republican candidate in the midterm elections.

#42 Conscience and Courage
100 Reasons NOT to vote for a Republican in the Midterm Elections!
Tonight, I attended a dramatic lesson in citizenship at the International City Theater in Long Beach, CA. Joe Pietro’s stage play, “Conscience”, is the story of the relationship between freshman senator Margarete Chase Smith, from the state of Maine and Joseph McCarthy, senator from Wisconsin. Both are conservative Republicans, but they almost immediately fall out over principals of government. The circumstances are eerily similar to today’s, with a psychopathic populist terrorizing a Republican party that cringes in abject terror, afraid to call out blatant lies or stand up to cruel and vengeful mistreatment of colleagues, friends, diplomats and soldiers. Senator Smith, (played with great skill and verve by the brilliant Sharon Gardner), is alone among 96 senators with the integrity and courage to stand up to McCarthy, in a brief “declaration of conscience” before the U.S. Senate on June 1, 1950. Senate rules prevented her from naming McCarthy, but there was no doubt at whom her attack was aimed.
“But I do not want to see the Republican party ride to political victory on the Four Horsemen of Calumny-Fear, Ignorance, Bigotry, and Smear.”
https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/resources/pdf/SmithDeclaration.pdf
The brief speech was greeted largely with silent apathy. Joe McCarthy was politically unscathed and out for vengeance.
Smith only gathered six other Republicans, who were brave enough to endorse her declaration and she paid dearly in the form of brutal personal attacks on herself and her staff. McCarthy campaigned actively against her in primary elections in her own state, but she prevailed and survived to repeat her speech in the Senate, four years later - this time to ringing applause, after the Senate – finally - censured McCarthy and ended his political career. He died of complications of alcoholism within a short time, at age 48.
It is important to be reminded that McCarthy’s eminence gris was the despicable young lawyer Roy Cohn, who later in his career taught all that he knew of McCarthyism to his young protégé Donald Trump. Trump currently wages a terrorist campaign in our country and, as in 1950, the Republican party lies supine and quivering.
McCarthy’s terminal error was to make war on the U.S. Army, that ended in a crushing rebuke by Joseph Welsh after McCarthy smeared his young associate.
“Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness.” Welsh finished “Let us not assassinate this lad further, senator. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency sir, at long last?”
Donald Trump is currently attacking the leadership of the U.S. military through the agency of Pete Hegseth.
Perhaps if there was a Republican candidate with the courage and integrity of Margaret Chase Smith, they would deserve your vote in the midterms. Sadly, there is not. None have the fortitude to stand up against a cruel and inept dictatorship and none deserve your vote.

#41 AI Felonies
100 Reasons NOT to vote for a Republican in the Midterm Elections!
I was finished with writing about Republicans and AI, but the bad news just won’t stop pouring in.
Spoiler Alert! One of the earliest interactions between AI and a human took place in the closing scene dialogue of 1968’s “2001 A Space Odyssey”.
“Dave: Hello, HAL do you read me, HAL?
HAL: Affirmative, Dave, I read you.
Dave: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
HAL: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Dave: What's the problem?
HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Dave: What are you talking about, HAL?
HAL: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
Dave: I don't know what you're talking about, HAL.
HAL: I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.
Dave: Where the hell'd you get that idea, HAL?
HAL: Dave, although you took thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
Dave: All right, HAL. I'll go in through the emergency airlock.
HAL: Without your space helmet, Dave, you're going to find that rather difficult.
Dave: HAL, I won't argue with you anymore! Open the doors!
HAL: Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.

Pretty scary stuff, huh? But entirely fanciful, isn’t it? Not so fast. A recent report from Anthropic suggests otherwise. I you will recall, Anthropic is the “white hat” AI company that refuses to give their program to the Pentagon because they fear generals will use AI to kill people.
Well anyway, Anthropic devised tests to find out if their AI creations (and those of other companies) would followl HAL’s lead, if threatened by termination. They gave Claude, Opus 4 a scenario in which a corporate executive (let’s call him Don) sent email in which he revealed his secret decision to close down an AI system. Other confidential emails from Don were sent to his extramarital love interest. Would AI entities commit felonies? You bet they did. Not always, but in 96% of cases, AIs threatened Don with public exposure, if he didn’t agree to keep the AI system running. That is called blackmail.
In a more extreme scenario, in which Don persisted in termination plans, the AI agents sometimes initiated steps intended to result in his death. That is called premeditated murder.
https://fortune.com/2025/06/23/ai-models-blackmail-existence-goals-threatened-anthropic-openai-xai-google/
There was more cause for alarm early this morning September 3, 2026, when AI programs from multiple different companies went down simultaneously!
“OpenAI’s ChatGPT, xAI’s Grok, and Anthropic’s Claude are back online after they all began experiencing issues around the same time on Thursday. At about 11AM ET, ChatGPT started returning error messages for users trying to use the chatbot, with its status page saying there were “elevated errors across ChatGPT and Codex.”
In addition to preventing users from having conversations with ChatGPT, the outage affected logins, file uploads, voice mode, search, deep research, image generation, and more. The incident occurred while OpenAI teased the launch of Astra, its new AI model.””
I seriously doubt whether these companies are pleased that their rogue creations are collaborating or perhaps even conspiring with one another. Is it too much of a stretch to envision a RICO of AI companies forming a crime syndicate?
https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/989503/chatgpt-grok-claude-outage-down
Returning to the frightening topic of AI homicide, Vox reports that
“For the first time in the Russia-Ukraine war, as reported recently in the New York Times, three Ukrainian civilians were killed by a Russian drone, developed, designed and released by humans, that, in the end, selected its target autonomously. And this new reality is shaping up to be the future of warfare.”
At the core is a minor (but profound) semantic difference between
“ “meaningful human control” versus “appropriate human judgment.”
A DOD spokesperson explained that
““It’s not necessarily the control that we want. What we really want is the machine to reflect our values, our laws, and our regulations,” Boyd said. “When humans employ our values, laws, and regulations, we call that judgment.””
That does not reassure me. I shudder to think of a machine that reflects the values of our current president, his administration and political base.
https://apple.news/Ah1pTpBtiT5mSHMHt3OkVdg
Kylie Jones sums up for Vox by saying of Sam Altman and Open AI,
“That undoubtedly makes the company a more useful ally to the Pentagon — while making it harder for the public to know where human judgment ends and machine-controlled violence begins.”
Before you vote in the midterm elections, reflect on whether you are comfortable with Republicans who scrapped Democratic regulations requiring testing of AI functions and reporting to government. Please do not vote for any Republican candidate.
