FYI: The First Amendment to the Constitution - DOES NOT SAY WHAT THE PRESIDENT MAY OR MAY NOT DO... Obviously... It's all about what THE CONGRESS may or may not do... The President can do Anything He Wants... Who's to Stop Him?

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

ACCURATE QUOTATION!

One thing we learned is that the Congress just does what it's told to do by Trump... Spineless robots that follow orders... Evil minions...

The Supreme Court has ruled that Crime is Legal for Trump... He was impeached twice and both times the Republicans in the Senate found him not guilty... Even though there was overwhelming evidence that he was guilty... Obvious corruption...  

10 Political Reforms to enact after Trump leaves office.
1. No one may become president past the age of 72.
2. No one convicted of a felony in the prior 20 years may become president.
3. Presidents shall not have immunity for crimes committed while in office.
4. The president must get Congress's approval for military action against any country that last more than 10 days.
5. Presidents and presidential candidates must publicly release their tax returns.
6. The president cannot order the DOJ to prosecute anyone or prevent the prosecution of anyone suspected of a crime.
7. The president can't accept gifts of any kind without consent of Congress.
8. No one shall be deported to a country where they are in imminent danger of harm or imprisonment without due process of law.
9. Political contributions should be limited so that the rich and powerful don't have more influence than the rest of us.
10. Election Day will be a national holiday. The federal government can't take control of elections or take any action to suppress voter turnout.

Texas anti-ICE protesters convicted of terrorism charges sentenced to at least 50 years in prison. Activists accused of being part of "antifa" get long prison terms in case seen as test of Trump’s crackdown on dissent...

 Source: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/23/prairieland-ice-protesters-texas-sentenced

A group of Texas protesters convicted of terrorism charges received unusually harsh sentences of at least 50 years in prison on Tuesday in a closely watched case that was widely seen as a test case of the Trump administration’s efforts to crack down on dissent.

After a three-week jury trial, the nine activists were all found guilty of a slew of criminal charges in March, stemming from a Fourth of July protest at an immigrant detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, south of Fort Worth.

A Peace Vigil Sits Near the White House for 44 Years! Will they be Evicted by Trump for being "Homeless People" ??? Every word from the Washington Post article without the paywall... Piracy!

https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/08/11/peace-vigil-congressman-letter/



By Marissa J. Lang

Just beyond the tall metal fence encircling the White House, visitors from Europe paused outside a makeshift shelter on the red brick of Pennsylvania Avenue to offer thanks to a graying man in a wheelchair. Then a couple from New Jersey approached with questions. A man asked to take pictures for his wife. Sometimes, a whole tour group would descend, all at once.

Philipos Melaku-Bello is used to this parade of people. He’s been stopped here every few minutes — with questions, challenges, gratitude, offers for help and support — for more than four decades.

Melaku-Bello, 63, is the longest-serving steward of the White House Peace Vigil, a 44-year protest calling for nuclear disarmament and an end to global conflicts. To maintain its position in Lafayette Square, just across Pennsylvania Avenue and visible from the north side of the White House, the demonstration must be manned 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Melaku-Bello spends more than 100 hours each week keeping the vigil alive. He is aided by a rotating cast of volunteers. Some stand watch through quiet mornings and scorching lunch breaks. Others work overnight shifts, spending the darkest hours of the day under a tarp covered in flags and banners that read: “War is not the answer!”

The demonstration is widely considered to be the longest continuous act of political protest in U.S. history. It has survived seven presidents, countless global conflicts, hurricanes and blizzards, heat waves and floods. It has outlasted several U.S. wars, including the Cold War, the Persian Gulf War, the War on Drugs and the War on Terror.

Now, it faces a new threat: Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-New Jersey) wrote a letter to the Interior Department calling the vigil “a 24/7 eyesore” and accusing the protesters who maintain it of hijacking a national park. He demanded the agency review its legality and, if appropriate, disband the demonstration.

“Let me be clear: nothing in the Constitution guarantees the right to erect permanent structures and occupy public land day after day, year after year, in a manner that creates public safety hazards, degrades the appearance of one of our most iconic parks, and burdens both the District and the National Park Service,” Van Drew wrote in May to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.

Van Drew is a fourth-term congressman who was initially elected as a Democrat, but changed his party affiliation to Republican in 2020 to protest the first impeachment of President Trump, to whom he pledged his “undying support.”

Trump has repeatedly pressured D.C. and other cities to do more to target encampments and homelessness. This year, the president issued an executive order that directed the Park Service to remove all homeless encampments from federal land in the District and last month directed federal agencies to find ways to forcibly hospitalize homeless people with mental illness and addiction.

But the peace vigil is not a homeless encampment. Its tent — used by vigil keepers to shelter from the elements — houses literature, signs, water and other supplies. Melaku-Bello and other volunteers maintain homes elsewhere.

A spokeswoman for the Interior Department declined to comment on Van Drew’s letter or say whether the agency was furnishing a report on the vigil.

“While we do not comment on congressional correspondence through the media, the Department of Interior takes all correspondence from Congress seriously and carefully reviews each matter,” spokeswoman Elizabeth Peace wrote in an email to The Washington Post.

When asked about the potential threat of removal, Melaku-Bello smiled and gestured to the handwritten copy of the First Amendment he keeps on display. This, he said, is not the first time someone has wanted the vigil disbanded.


The Peace Vigil began on June 3, 1981, when its founder, William Thomas, appeared outside of the White House holding a placard that read, “Wanted: Wisdom and Honesty.”

With time, he accumulated other signs and broadened his message. Soon, it was: “Ban All Nuclear Weapons or Have a Nice Doomsday” and “Live By the Bomb, Die By the Bomb.” In his 28 years as the vigil’s primary keeper, Thomas was homeless on and off, arrested several times for illegally camping in Lafayette Square, and surveilled nearly constantly by the Secret Service.

Still, he amassed a following.

Long before social media could beam a message around the world in an nanosecond, Thomas relied on a network of alternative publications, groups and supporters from out of town to spread the word of his protest. One such supporter was Melaku-Bello’s father. It was through him that Melaku-Bello found his way to the vigil.

In 1981, Melaku-Bello was an anarchist kid from Southern California who believed in radical equality, peace and punk rock. He was touring the East Coast with his bandmates, performing at alternative venues — including the original 9:30 Club in D.C. — when he first came to visit the peace vigil.

It was, at the time, a small operation, with Thomas and a handful of others filling out round-the-clock shifts. Melaku-Bello said he volunteered to pull an overnight, three nights in a row, while he was in town. He found it peaceful, he said, staying up in the park as the city emptied and quieted down.

“It was basically young people who agreed with this neo-anarchistic ideology of no more wars, no more top-down systems, no more misogyny and racism,” Melaku-Bello recalled recently, sitting under an umbrella outside the shelter. “That there had to be a better way.”

From then on, every time Melaku-Bello found himself in the District for work or art or any other reason, he would make a pilgrimage to the Peace Vigil and relieve the keepers for one night or several.

By the 1990s, Melaku-Bello had moved to the area and secured a job with the Alexandria parks and recreation department. He split his time between the job he got paid to do and the job he gave himself: supporting the peace activists and their mission and filling out the rotating crew of vigil keepers outside the White House. At their peak, Melaku-Bello said, they had a group of about 20 in rotation. That number tends to swell when other big protests come to town.

Today, there are about a half-dozen.


Concepcion Picciotto, lady from the Fahrenheit 911 movie by Michael Moore... She's at the very end of the movie... 

Thomas died of pulmonary disease on Jan. 23, 2009, at the age of 61. His longtime collaborator Concepcion Picciotto became the face of the vigil soon after. Seven years later, Picciotto died after spending three decades of her life outside the White House “to stop the world from being destroyed.”

Soon, Melaku-Bello, who for decades had been a behind-the-scenes organizer, was thrust into the spotlight. He is the last of the original activists still dedicated to preserving their protest, and, over the past decade, has become its de facto leader — a title that he, a lifelong opponent of hierarchies, rejects.

Melaku-Bello said the number of hostile interactions he’s had in recent months with passersby has increased — not just compared to what he experienced during the Biden administration, but also compared to President Trump’s first term.

The vigil keepers have been physically attacked, spit on, heckled and called names and slurs. On a recent afternoon, a young man wearing a kippah shouted at Melaku-Bello for waving the Palestinian flag. On several occasions, Melaku-Bello has returned to his protest to find posters torn down, kicked in and vandalized. Several are covered in ink.

In its 44-year run, the protest has faced several legal challenges and been under near-constant watch by police agencies that patrol in and around the square, as well as the Park Service, which bans camping in Lafayette Square, requiring that a protest be active to qualify as a First Amendment demonstration.

The vigil has been torn down or removed just a handful of times, according to media accounts. It happened twice roughly a decade ago, when the makeshift structure that shelters the vigil keepers from the elements was left unattended in violation of Park Service rules. The protest was also forced to move from Lafayette Square in 2020, amid confrontations between racial justice demonstrators and police following the murder of George Floyd.

Over the years, Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D), the District’s longtime nonvoting representative in the House, has aided them in reestablishing their protest after U.S. Park Police have cleared the demonstration.

Norton, who has had a decades-long relationship with the vigil keepers, also became their champion in Congress, helping the activists craft legislation that calls on “all countries possessing nuclear weapons” to begin the “verifiable and irreversible elimination of such weapons.”

The delegate has introduced a version of this bill every year since 1994.

In March, she introduced the Nuclear Weapons Abolition and Conversion Act for the 17th time. This year, the delegate included language that would direct the U.S. to “redirect resources that are being used for nuclear weapons programs to be used for addressing the climate crisis and human and infrastructure needs, such as housing, health care and restoring the environment.” The legislation has never been brought to the House floor for a vote.

Norton, in a statement to The Post, bristled at her colleague’s attempt to dismantle the demonstration.

“The First Amendment protects peaceful protests, even when they’re seen as unsightly or inconvenient, and even when they occur in front of the White House,” Norton said in the statement. “The Peace Vigil has stood in front of the White House for more than 30 years, with its organizers engaged in principled activism at considerable personal cost. If Representative Van Drew’s claim that the vigil creates public safety hazards were valid, it would have been removed long ago.”

“Finally, Representative Van Drew argues in his letter that the Peace Vigil burdens D.C., but his district is in New Jersey,” Norton added. “As D.C.’s sole member of Congress, I’m the best advocate for the District, and I wholeheartedly support the Peace Vigil, its organizers and its message.”

Van Drew’s letter accuses the peace activists of sending “the wrong message to law-abiding Americans.”

“This isn’t about stopping a protest. It’s about upholding the rule of law, preserving one of America’s most iconic public spaces, and ending a double standard that’s made a mockery of both,” the congressman wrote.

Despite these recent attacks, Melaku-Bello said the vigil’s following has only continued to grow.

He frequently gives interviews to international press and relies on social media to communicate with followers and donors. Melaku-Bello — who speaks eight languages fluently and is as comfortable quoting Black Sabbath as he is Stokely Carmichael — has amassed supporters in countries all over the globe, and has used his platforms to speak out against global conflicts and, most recently, Trump’s protectionist trade policies.

“I have a big following in the Philippines, I mean, I have a big following on a lot of continents,” Melaku-Bello said with a chuckle. “A lot of times they’ll send me messages through WhatsApp or through Instagram or Facebook Messenger. They’ll send me articles that will come out in their country about us. It’s cool.”

On a recent afternoon, Melaku-Bello balanced an open umbrella on the arm of his wheelchair to shield himself from the sun as temperatures crept close to 100 degrees and the bustle of Lafayette Square simmered.

Music from a trombone player across the street lilted past. Vendors hawking cold water, political T-shirts and, occasionally, ice cream greeted him like an old friend as they patrolled the plaza. A man on a scooter paused to assure Melaku-Bello that he would be back soon — to do an overnight shift at the vigil.

Then, a woman approached. “Thank you for your protest,” said the woman, a German journalist named Ulrike Schirmer. “You are a single man, but you do more than many leaders do at the moment.”

Melaku-Bello bowed his head in a gesture of gratitude.

“We are going together into the future,” Schirmer continued. “That’s my interest here. Not people trying to force us to separate.”

“Thank you, sister,” he said.

As she turned to go, he waved — to her and others who paused to watch the exchange — then settled back into his chair, ready for another photo, another hello, another round of questions.

He’s got time, after all. He’ll be here all day, maybe all night.

And then back again tomorrow.

The Democratic Party needs to Change Course. The original blog post was censored by Google.

Since it expresses ideas that are not "politically correct" they have deemed it "hate speech" …

https://purple64ets.wordpress.com/2025/02/14/the-democratic-party-needs-to-change-course/

so I published my essay on WordPress where the First Amendment means something... I'm troubled with giant corporations deciding what is allowed to be published... 

Briefly, I expressed the opinion that the Democratic Party platform of promoting gay "pride" is not a great way to get votes... The vast majority of people simply don't care or think gays are odd but harmless... 

And in fact, events like Trump signing an executive order that says that boys can't compete in girls Sports even if they have a sex change operation really makes Democrats look insane... 

I think Trump also signed an executive order that says there are only two sexes, men and women... Well, that's pretty obviously correct... And it gets the Democrats stuck behind the policy position of saying that somehow that executive order is wrong... 

Homosexuality and transsexualism are all voluntary choices and if that's what they want to do... go right ahead... Legalizing gay marriage makes sense because next of kin are allowed to visit in the hospital... And if you're a boyfriend of someone dying of AIDS, you're not next of kin... And so for years they were not allowed to visit... Well that's just a cruel and insane policy.

People are really interested in the cost of living... High prices at the grocery store... Low wages for jobs... We just don't want to look like idiots promoting GBLT+Q 

and it looks like the price of everything is going to go up really fast because Trump is a freaking idiot when it comes to business and the economy... My only hope is that he doesn't cause a global economic collapse... Simply defaulting on the national debt and declaring bankruptcy... Could make the dollar worth nothing... 

50501 Not My President's Day - Nationwide Day of Action... Noon, February 17th, 2025 - Everyone Everywhere needs to do Everything We Can to Exorcise the White House. Let's Send "he who shall not be named" to Mar-A-Loser.

It's Valentine's Day again, so again I propose celebrating "Why Not Love Yourself" Day also. I am not saying change the name of the day ( Who do I think I am, the president?) but also take the day to celebrate you. Not everyone has a special someone, but there is no reason you can't celebrate the special someone you are. I am not talking about a narcissist love...we have enough of those already...but a deeper love that holds a mirror up to your true potential as a human being, a love that won't allow you to lower yourself to those who anger you, and a love that allows you to mirror those who have the same heart so they can see it. So Happy Valentine's Day, and while you are at it, Happy Why Not Love Yourself Day

TURN OFF YOUR TV! JANUARY 20th, 2025 - Go for a Walk in the Woods... Go Camping... Go Fishing... The Crazy People that Run this Country Will Get Along Fine Without You Observing Them Doing Their EVIL DEEDS!...

WWGD About Mad King Donald?

DO SOMETHING FUN!

Remember: watching horrible events on the TV is kind of like pouring poison directly into your brain! Not only will it make you upset and angry but it will cause high blood pressure and the possibility of a stroke or a heart attack... A really good idea would be to go out and look at the Roses in the garden... Take some photographs... Enjoy the sunshine... Or cross country skiing!

I remember that on the day Richard Nixon resigned... I took an LSD trip while camping in Big Sur, California... And when the effects got really strong I had to go lie down in the woods... when I came back, I met a guy running down the path shouting: "Your president has just resigned! Your president has just resigned! I'm So lucky to be in America on this day!" - (he was a tourist from England) And then I went swimming in the river... In general, an excellent trip!

<~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~>

I moved! New address: Gregory Vanderlaan 527 Wilson Bridge Dr Unit B1, Oxon Hill, MD 20745 - Planning to start my new job at DARPA... Totally excellent!

I'm really excited about living near Washington DC... So I can go visit the Smithsonian as many times as I want... And go to a bunch of protest marches! And it's going to be fun to go to hearings at the US Congress where they expose corruption and US Government insanity... Those are pretty amusing!

We all have stories to tell. Our lives are stories that are continually being written. The situations, the good and the bad, and the characters that weave in and out of your life are part of the story. As one chapter ends, a page in your life is turned and a new chapter begins. Your choice with your life is how you decide to tell your story. One of the miraculous things about telling a good story, is that they can make someone else feel less alone. We all have stories to tell.

My Story: Last week, the FBI and SS called my brother to tell him that they were unhappy with my posts on Faceborg... Then I found out that they actually visited my ex-wife in person... So I deleted about 40 posts from my blog... And they stopped bothering my family... I'm really glad that I don't have an accurate address for where I really live published on the internet... My CAL ID card says I live in a place I lived about 10 years ago...

Did you Ever Notice that the GOP Uses Statements That Everyone Agrees With in order to Promote Minority Viewpoints? For Example: "Make America Great Again" - Everyone Wants THAT but Almost No One Wants to Return to 1848 in the American South... and THAT'S What They Want...

Now "Freedom of Speech" is a CAUSE they are Fighting For so People Will Have the FREEDOM to Speak Hate Speech...

Seen Those Ads on TV? FIRE launches new national ad campaign highlighting urgency to protect free speech...

https://www.thefire.org/fire-launches-new-national-ad-campaign-highlighting-urgency-to-protect-free-speech/

NEW YORK, Jan. 14, 2022 – In a series of arresting ads that strike at the necessity of preserving and defending free speech rights, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education will launch its first national advertising campaign this weekend.

Breaking in Sunday’s New York Times Magazine, the initial ad invokes the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech to bring home to Americans across the political spectrum what would be lost if our nation lacked the right to free speech. The ad coincides with Monday’s national holiday honoring the civil rights leader.

Proclaiming “No Free Speech, No I Have A Dream,” the double-page ad kicks off a print and digital marketing campaign that stresses the need to be able to speak freely and respect our fellow Americans’ right to do so, regardless of their viewpoint. The ad concludes, “It’s because of free speech that we’re all free to share our dreams.” 

AND... WHO EXACTLY IS BEING CENSORED? TRUMP... and His Flying Monkeys... BECAUSE THEY LIE, LIE and LIE AGAIN...

A bit of Deep Background...

I first Embraced Lunacy Long ago when I Noticed That The Moon Looks Like a Solid Dot about the Size of a Quarter Held at Arms Length. AND The Sun Looks Like a Solid Dot about the Size of a Quarter Held at Arms Length. AND The Shadow of the Earth on the Moon is the Same Exact Size! That SIZE Co-incidence is what makes Solar and Lunar Eclipses and Phases of the Moon Possible.

A woman's Menstrual Cycle is the same length of time as the moon's phases... 28 Days. Humans are In Phase with the Moon...   

Our Calendar's Months are Named for the Moon but don't exactly Line Up... 28x13=364 We Could have made the Calendar 13 Months of 28 Days Each but... Somehow We Failed... OOPS!

and then President Kennedy Gave that 1962 Speech that Totally Changed my Life... The School System Changed dramatically in 1963 in response... Math and Science were the Main Focus. I was in Third Grade and a Part of that Change... I was placed in the "More Capable Learners" Class and we skipped one Grade ahead in both Math and Science all the way thru High School. My Career in Computers was the result of that early Training. 

"We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too."

Author's Note: Most of these Ideas are Dangerous and Illegal... at Best, they lead to Arrest and Incarceration... at worst you might blow your legs off and have to ride around in a wheelchair for the rest of your life... Remember the "Weathermen" anti-war protesters during the Vietnam war? They Blew up their Own Townhouse and everyone inside died... then the people who were not inside the townhouse went on the run and lived "underground" for a decade until they just got tired of that life and turned themselves into the Police... served a few years... got out and Started Living a Real Life Again...
