My Dear America:
I recently watched a double feature on the "Movies" Channel. The First Movie featured was "The Diary Of Anne Frank". The Second Movie was a movie starring Mary Steenburgen playing the woman who worked for Anne Frank's Father's business and once the Frank Family went into hiding supplied Anne Frank's Family with supplies as they hid with other Jewish Families in an Attic in Amsterdam hoping and Praying that the Allies would begin D Day in time for these Jewish Families to be saved from the depravity of German Nazis who had turned the wonderful city of Amsterdam into a Living Hell for Jews who had the misfortune of being captured by Nazis.
Unfortunately for Anne Frank the Allies landed on the Beach at Normandy just a little too late to save her from a One Way Trip to a Nazi Death Camp. Millie Perkins who played Anne Frank did a great job portraying Anne Frank, whose life we know about because she wanted to be a Writer and she was a Writer who left behind her a stunning daily diary which revealed just how normal a child she was even though she was living in an extremely abnormal situation.
After watching these two movies with their accurate portrayals of Brutal Nazis in the Gestapo, The SS and the Secret Police I found myself facing the fact that although We Americans have always thought of ourselves as too smart and loving Liberty too much to ever let ourselves be led into a brutal dictatorship like the Germans did, I was wrong. Apparently we Americans let our guard down too far and were stupid enough to re elect Donald Trump to the American Presidency and to say the least things have not gone well for America and, indeed, the rest of the world since Dictator Don returned to the White House in January of 2025 and immediately began to implement "Project 2025", The Extreme Right Wing Republican Plan that Donald Trump claimed throughout his Campaign for President in 2024 that he knew nothing about.
As we are well aware in 2026 Donald Trump was Lying about Project 2025 and Lying about a lot of other things, as well.
One thing that Donald Trump was telling the truth about in his Campaign for President in 2024 was what he was going to do about the January Sixth Insurrectionists who he insisted were just Patriotic Tourists. He had promised on the Campaign Trail that he was going to pardon those Goons who had wreaked havoc on the Capitol Building on January Sixth of 2021 in support of Trump's urging and he did follow through on the promise he made to them and did pardon all of them. Not only did Trump Pardon the January Sixth Insurrectionists, he also gave many of them good paying jobs as his personal Gestapo Agents in the Government that had been savaged by Elon Musk, Big Balls and DOGE in the beginning days of the Trump Administration.
Another broken promise made by Dictator on Day One Don on the 2024 Campaign Trail was his promise to release "The Epstein Files". Trump was recently backed into a corner when Congress overwhelmingly voted to release The Epstein Files and he was forced by a veto proof majority of Congress to approve the release of the files that he and Mike Johnson had fought so hard to keep under wraps. Since that overwhelmingly strong vote by Congress to release the Epstein Files Trump and his DOJ Toadies have continued to slow walk the Epstein Files as much as they can and in the end they have failed to release half of the Epstein Files despite the fact that the bill passed by Congress demanded that the entire contents of the Epstein File was required to be released which was not done.
The sad and disturbing truth is that ever since Donald Trump's second Inauguration almost everything that Donald Trump has done or has ordered done seems to have been done with the purpose of distracting everyday Americans from thinking very much about "The Epstein Files."
As more and more information comes to light from what has already been revealed from The Epstein Files it is becoming clearer every day as to why Donald Trump did not want the contents of these files to be revealed. As most of us expected Trump is everywhere in the Epstein Files just as he was everywhere in Jeffrey Epstein's life when they were Running Buddies in both Florida and New York City for over 15 years. Representative Jamie Raskin, who has been allowed to see the unredacted Epstein Files has stated that Trump's name is mentioned more than a million times. Of Course, the mention of Trump's name does not by itself guarantee that Trump is guilty of crimes. But let's face it, If it walks Like a Predator and hangs out with a Predator there is a pretty good chance that it is a Predator. Let's also face the fact that there seem to be countless accusations by numerous women over the years claiming that they were either assaulted or sexually harassed by Donald Trump. We also have his admission on video tape that Women "Let You Do It" as he was bragging about having sex with married women. And Lets not forget that in a court of Law E. Jean Carroll was awarded the sum of 83 Million Dollars from Donald Trump following her accusation of Sexual Assault by Donald Trump although it is doubtful that E. Jean will ever see a dollar of that money that was awarded too her in a New York Court.
Let me try to get back to discussing Anne Frank and her Family, most of whom died in the Holocaust. She was just a young teenaged girl with young teenaged girl expectations prior to her family going into hiding from the Nazi's. Anne's father was wise enough to recognize that what the Nazis were doing to the Jews everywhere in Europe was quickly getting extremely dangerous, so dangerous, in fact, that Otto Frank and his Family were willing to hide away in an attic as they could observe their Jewish Neighbors being carted off to God Knows Where. The Franks were smart enough to know that wherever the Nazis were taking their neighbors was somewhere they certainly knew they did not want to be.
Like the Frank Family, the residents of Minneapolis Minnesota were also smart enough to see what was going on in their City when Donald Trump and Kristi "Dog Killer" Noem and their heavily armed, masked and violent Gestapo Like ICE Agents invaded their city.
Even though Texas and Florida which are well known to be Republican led States have much more of an illegal Immigrant problem it was obvious and blatant that Trump was targeting Minneapolis and Minnesota because Governor Tim Walz, who ran with Kamala Harris against Trump and Mayor Frey of Minneapolis were Democrats.
What I have observed on television since ICE began recklessly invading Minneapolis is that what I saw in "The Diary Of Anne Frank" when the Nazis began rounding up Jews in Amsterdam back in the day to send them to Death Camps for Extermination did not look much different than what ICE was doing on the streets of Minneapolis. Maybe the uniforms had changed but it certainly seemed as though the tactics of Facism had not changed.
It certainly was not the first time that Trump Thugs had invaded an American City and it appeared as though it would not be the last time either. But the Trump ICE Nazis who savagely shot two American Citizens in Minneapolis for the crimes of caring about immigrants were not really prepared for the unbelievably animated yet Peacefully Nonviolent response to these killings by the Outraged Citizens of Minneapolis. It seemed at times as though the entire population of Minneapolis had taken to the streets to push back against the ridiculous lies about the citizens who had been killed. Without a shred of evidence Homeland Security Chief, Kristi Noem had declared Nicole Good a "Domestic Terrorist" after an Ice Agent shot her in her vehicle. Noem then used the same bullshit slur on Veterans Administration Nurse, Alex Pretti, who was shot ten times while laying on the ground after being savagely punched and kicked by ICE officers.
The Good Times are over, America. The Shit has hit the fan and America, which is in the process of celebrating 250 Years of Freedom is fighting for its life. Fortunately for those of us who love Freedom and love America we have seen from the residents of Minneapolis the way out of the mess we are in. The Hometown Heroes of Minneapolis despite the freezing conditions of their Hometown hit the streets with a force that was even too much for the Ice Nazis to put up with.
Once again the power of Nonviolence and caring for your neighbor pushed the arrogant leaders of the Minneapolis Invasion Force to retreat but only after good Minneapolis Freedom Fighting Citizens were lying dead.
Minneapolis has shown us the way to deal with Trump Nazis. Unfortunatey it is not going to be easy for those of us who are fed up with Trump and Republican Nazis. Clearly these ugly monsters who are looking to beat us down like they beat down and shot Alex Pretti in the streets of Minneapolis are not going to be easy to defeat but although hard times are coming for us all in the coming months and years I am certain that we will emerge victorious from this Republican Led Nightmare at some point stronger and more determined than ever to treasure the freedom that has been our watchword for 250 years.
We will learn serious lessons from our struggle. Clearly Republicans are not going to be willing to give up the power that we have allowed them to steal away from us bit by bit over the years.
But we have been shown the way to deal with Fascists by the residents of Minneapolis. We have seen This terrible show of force before when Fascists tried to destroy the Labor Unions and when Blacks fought for their Civil Rights and won and when Americans demanded an end to the Vietnam War and when Watergate tested our spirit of Freedom.
These were all terrible times and no doubt we are in for more terrible times as Trump arrests Journalists like Don Lemon and attempts to turn Freedom Loving America into a Dictatorship similar to his Buddy Putin.
But the Hometown Heroes of Minneapolis have shown us very clearly that there is only way to deal with bullies and that is to stand up to them and kick them the hell out of your town and your country.
It is time for every American who believes in the United States as a Freedom Loving Country to stand their ground and tell the bullies who would turn this country into a Fascist Dictatorship that "Your Time has come and gone so get the hell out of America and don't come back " and mean it.
Sincerely Yours
