Lack Of Ethics And Morals

PEPFAR, George W. Bush’s Major Achievement, Decimated By Donald Trump Cuts In Aid And Support Of USAID (US Agency For International Development)!

President George W. Bush had many negatives while in office, including Hurricane Katrina, the drawn out wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the onset of the Great Recession.

But one major accomplishment was the establishment of PEPFAR (President’s Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief), begun by executive order in 2003, and had provided cumulative funding of $120 Billion by 2024, for HIV/AIDS treatment, prevention, and research in those 21 years. This was the largest commitment of any nation in history focused on a single disease, and by late 2025, had saved more than 26 million lives, and prevented 7.8 million infants from acquiring HIV at birth.

But in a dastardly act, Donald Trump’s administration has phased out funding for PEPFAR, causing unnecessary deaths, and demonstrating lack of concern for people most affected, particularly in Africa, most of them poverty stricken.

USAID (US Agency For International Development) has been decimated, the work of people like Russell Vought and Stephen Miller, who have no concern about saving lives, while being extremely outspoken against abortion. They lack ethics, morals, and basic common decency.

So called White Christian Nationalists also have no concern, as their racism and nativism reigns supreme, a terrible tragedy for the long range legacy of George W. Bush, who had decent intentions and concerns now being thrown by the wayside!

Donald Trump Clearly Most Dangerous President In American History, Bar None!

Ronald 3 Comments

For many years, there have been psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals who have warned that President Donald Trump was highly dangerous and reckless, in his rhetoric, behavior, and actions, is an incessant liar, and totally unhinged and incoherent.

Trump has demonstrated he has no ethics, morals, scruples, humanity, decency, compassion, or empathy, and he has shown clearly that he is a racist, misogynist, nativist, Islamophobe, homophobe, and despite so called “friendship” with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has strong record of utilizing antisemitism at times.

He has undermined our national security and defenses; our legal and judicial system; and the social justice state that began in the Progressive Era of Theodore Roosevelt and continued through the New Deal of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Great Society of Lyndon B. Johnson, and beyond.

He has allowed the system of mutual security through alliances with NATO and Asian nations to be left in tatters, as he consorts with dictators around the world, including Vladimir Putin of the Russian Federation, but also other authoritarian nations, while undermining democracy, and utilizing the old concept of US Imperialism, and willingness to use force against international law.

He has enriched the super wealthy, while working to undermine the middle class, and with no concern about those who are poor and disadvantaged, and has damaged our environment, health care, consumer protection, labor rights, educational and cultural institutions, and worked on wiping out immigration in a manner equivalent of the shortsightedness of a century ago.

He repesents a threat to the nation and the world, and action should be commenced to remove him from office as a danger that must be recognized by those in authority through legal channels.

Sadly, likely, no action will be taken, as the people around Donald Trump are totally sycophants, more interested in their own financial and political advancement, and they may end up responsible for a disastrous Holocaust of massive proportions, that will condemn them in history, but cause great harms to tens of millions of Americans, along with massive numbers around the world.

Donald Trump Is Underming Multiple Areas Of American Progress

Ronald 66 Comments

After seven and a half months of his second term, President Donald Trump has used a “wrecking ball” that has undermined multiple areas of American progress of past Presidents and Congresses.

Trump has undermined a stable American foreign policy, upending our relationship with NATO and our Asian allies, and encouraging aggression by dictatorships worldwide.

Trump has undermined our heritage of civil rights and civil liberties progress, from the time of Lyndon B. Johnson onward.

Trump has undermined environmental and consumer protection, which has been a guidepost since the time of Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon.

Trump has undermined America’s economic progress with his crazy, mad dash toward tariffs that are already showing signs of bringing about an economic recession and make life more difficult for anyone not of the wealthy upper class.

Trump has declared war on immigrants, upending the concept of tolerance and the essential need for a work force that includes foreigners who wish to become part of the “American Dream”.

Trump has shown total lack of compassion, decency, ethics, morals and tolerance toward anyone not white male Christian, including setting back progress for nonwhites, women, gays and lesbians, and disabled people.

Trump has undermined the independence of universities, the news media, corporations, and law firms, all threatening American democracy and its institutions.

So Trump has declared war on much of the 20th and 21st century progress from Theodore Roosevelt to Joe Biden, Presidents and Congresses of both political parties!
