Yesterday, General John Kelly –-a retired four-star general and Donald Trump's former White House Chief of Staff- told the American people what those of us who served in the Trump Administration have seen up close: Donald Trump is increasingly unstable, unfit to serve, and his second term would be more dangerous.
The revelations General Kelly brought forward are disturbing and shocking. But because we know Trump and have worked for and alongside him, we were sadly not surprised by what General Kelly had to say.
This is who Donald Trump is.
Donald Trump's disdain for the American military and admiration for dictators like Hi**er is rooted in his desire for absolute, unchecked power. This is a man who threw his own Vice President – Mike Pence – at a violent mob in a desperate bid to hold on to power. When Donald Trump says he wants to be a "dictator" on "day one" and deploy the military against American citizens he deems “the enemy from within" - he means it.
General Kelly noted he is speaking out because of Trump's recent comments about using the military against our fellow Americans Trump deems the “enemy from within. ” General Kelly highlighted Trump's dreams of being an authoritarian, saying Trump “ certainly prefers the dictator approach to government" and that Trump fits “into the general definition of fascist. ” General Kelly also made sure to emphasize Trump's infatuation with Adolf Hi**er, saying that Trump “commented more than once that, 'You know, Hi**er did some good things, too."
We applaud General Kelly for highlighting in stark details the danger of a second Trump term. Like General Kelly, we did not take the decision to come forward lightly. We are all lifelong Republicans who served our country. However, there are moments in history where it becomes necessary to put country over party. This is one of those moments.
Everyone should heed General Kelly's warning. We have witnessed, up close and personal, how Donald Trump operates and what he is capable of. The American people deserve a leader who won't threaten to turn armed troops against them, won't put his quest for power above their needs, and doesn't idealize the likes of Adolf Hi**er. Donald Trump demonstrates every day he is not capable of being commander in chief of this great nation.
In a second term, those who once tried to prevent Donald Trump from his worst impulses will no longer be there to rein him in. For the good of our country, our democracy, and our Constitution, we are asking you to listen closely and carefully to General Kelly's warning. We unfortunately know all too well how serious and dire it is.

The Making of the Lantana Elephants

Think - of your OWN family - if this was your family....

McALLEN, Texas (AP) — A federal judge in Texas on Monday paused a Biden administration policy that would give spouses of
U.S. citizens legal status without having to first leave the country, dealing at least a temporary setback to one of the biggest presidential actions to ease a path to citizenship in years.

The administrative stay issued by U.S. District Judge J. Campbell Barker comes just days after 16 states, led by Republican attorneys general, challenged the program that could benefit an estimated 500,000 immigrants in the country, plus about 50,000 of their children.

Texas should not be able to decide the fate of hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizens and their immigrant spouses without confronting their reality," Karen Tumlin, the founder and director of Justice Action Center. (Associated Press)
..Give me your tired, your poor...we all are or were...immigrants at one time. This is what makes America great.

Olivia Troye, a national security official in the Trump administration, said being part of his White House "was terrifying."

Troye, a Latina and child of immigrants, said she is now proud to support Harris because she believes in "protecting our freedom."

Troye was a Homeland Security and Counter terrorism adviser to former Vice President Mike Pence but left the White House in August 2020 after seeing what she said were the risks Trump's leadership posed to the country.

(Olivia said she is a still a Republican and encourages other Republican to vote for Harris because the issue is "protecting our freedom".) (She spoke last night at the DNC in Chicago.)
