Military Helicopters Could Be Used To Fight Wildfires. Currently We Are Wasting this Resource Fighting Trump's Idiot War in Iran...

Helicopter dumping water on a fire

Large military helicopter

We already own these helicopters and have trained soldiers to work as Pilots and Mechanics... It would be easy to attach a giant bucket underneath the helicopter to scoop up water to dump on Wildfires... 


Why not behave smart with our taxpayer dollars?

I need people to sit with this for a second, because I think we keep missing half the fight. And it is getting people hurt.
We spend all our energy pointing at the people at the top. The psychopaths pulling strings, making decisions in rooms we will never sit in, profiting off other people’s suffering while calling it leadership. Good. Keep pointing. They deserve every ounce of rage we’ve got.
But if we stop there, we are lying to ourselves about what is actually killing us.
The other half of this fight is us.
It is the neighbor who repeats a talking point word for word without ever asking who wrote it for them. The family member who would rather protect a lying politician’s ego than their own grandchildren’s future. The friend who stopped thinking the moment loyalty to a party became more important than loyalty to the truth.
Call it what it is. That is not ignorance anymore. That is choosing comfort over conscience.
None of this is an accident. This is the plan, and it is working exactly as designed.
They do not need everyone at the top to be evil. They just need enough brain-dead sheep at the bottom to stop questioning anything. They needed people exhausted, divided, addicted to their screens, and angrier at each other than at the people robbing them blind.
So they built exactly that.
They turned neighbor against neighbor. Family against family. Coworker against coworker. Then they had the audacity to call it patriotism. To call it faith. To call it common sense.
It is none of those things.
It is control. And the people wearing the chains are out here defending the ones holding the leash.
I am done being polite about this.
I am furious watching good, decent people get destroyed by manufactured lies while the people selling those lies get richer and more powerful every single time. I am furious watching people I love defend a system that is bleeding them dry because some grifter on a screen told them who to hate.
They are not thinking anymore.
They are performing loyalty like it is a personality.
The human race did not need an outside enemy to bring it to its knees. It just needed enough people willing to stop thinking for themselves and start attacking each other instead.
So no, this was never only a fight against the people at the top.
It is also a fight against every narcissistic, brain-dead follower who makes their cruelty possible. A fight to wake up everyone who has been convinced that blind obedience is strength and that asking questions makes you a traitor.
Until we drag that fight into the daylight, the people at the top get to sit back, laugh, and keep winning without lifting a finger.
Wake up.
Question everything.
Stop doing their dirty work for them while they walk away clean.

Occupy Democrats

BREAKING: NYC Mayor Mamdani just announced guaranteed 30% DISCOUNTS on essential food and demonstrated why Trump’s Communist fearmongering is FAILING.

While Dementia Donnie and his MAGA sycophants in the Republican Party have been trying hard to induce a new red scare in the United States by invoking the word “communism” as a fear-mongering tactic in response to the progressive wing of the Democratic Party’s recent electoral successes, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani continues to demonstrate exactly why his Democratic Socialist policies have been winning new converts among his constituents.

In an environment where corporations are quietly using "surveillance pricing" to charge you more for the same carton of eggs based on your personal data, New York City's mayor just fought back with real, tangible relief.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced that all five of the city's municipal grocery stores will now offer a core set of essential staples — fresh produce, meat, seafood, plus 20 additional staples like milk, cheese, and bread — at a flat 30% below typical retail prices, guaranteed for the entire month, every month.
This is a major revolution in the city’s grocery shopping environment.

Since 2019, grocery prices nationwide have soared roughly 30% while wages have stagnated. Meanwhile, corporations have developed predatory pricing technology that tracks your personal shopping data to charge YOU more than your neighbor for identical products.

Mamdani called it exactly what it is: unacceptable.
"No weekly fluctuations, nor sticker shock at the checkout line," Mamdani said. "Not for our seniors living on fixed incomes, nor for the parents who rely on a regular supply of apple slices to keep toddler tantrums at bay."

This is what actual government intervention on behalf of working people looks like — not vague promises, not corporate tax breaks that never trickle down, but a concrete, predictable, city-run alternative that undercuts price gouging directly.
Mamdani even demonstrated the transparency built into the program, scanning a QR code live at the podium to show New Yorkers exactly how much a bunch of plantains would cost under the new pricing structure, pointing them to grocery.nyc for the full policy breakdown.

While Republicans in Washington cut taxes for billionaires and gut healthcare, New York City is proving that local government can still deliver real affordability, real transparency, and real accountability directly to working families.

This is the difference between politicians who talk about the cost of living and a mayor who is actually doing something about it.
No wonder Trump is resorting to the McCarthyism of his mentor, the disgraced lawyer Roy Cohn, to rail against the sort of real populism that proves the disingenuousness of his own brand of phony populism.

Perhaps Mamdani’s successes in New York City will inspire voters around the nation to embrace Democratic Socialist candidates in their own local governments. After all they have nothing to lose but the foot that the oligarchs have on their necks.

Please like and share if you’re a fan of what Mayor Mamdani is trying to accomplish in New York City!

If you plan to go to the Exorcism at the White House... Maybe you can make a lot of noise with one of these fun toys!


Would Insane Ice Agents like these pointed at them? If you built this with two alarms it's possible that the frequency of the noises would be slightly different... Perhaps Eight Hertz??? The Madness Frequency! Mount those alarms to the Bowl using Duct Tape or Nuts and Bolts!

Whistle for anti-trump protests... Remove the metal ring because of metal detectors in buildings

it would be a lot of fun to go to the US Capitol and get in the Senate chamber when some insane Republican was yapping... And then Blow That Whistle loud! Or the House of Representatives... They could use a little Street Theater protest!

Trump's new money

Trump was wrong about everything

Trump's brain is fried


I believe that by posting endless mockery of Mad King Donald, we can contact the MAGA Morons and show them the error of their ways... Help them to wake the f*ck up!

All we need is a few more Senators and House Representatives to #runaway from the GOP and we can impeach, convict and imprison Trump.

What IS "Bubble-UP Economics" and how does it work? Simply put, increase minimum wage and all those workers will have more money to spend at American Businesses. The increased sales will cause a need to hire more workers. The increased profits will cause more money to be paid in taxes and increased earnings by stockholders. Everyone WINS.

We have tried "Trickle Down Economics" for decades and it has clearly failed. Why not try something different? I have found that when I try something and it fails, and then I try the same thing and it fails again and the it continues to fail for the third, fourth and fifth time... It's time to notice the trend and try something different. DUH.



Kash Patel Begs for Help. "We really need some people in here that understand Law Enforcement. Trump fired everyone who was competent. And now... FBI searches offices of Ohio voting-rights group...

Feds haven’t said what the group is suspected of doing wrong... https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/06/12/fbi-searches-offices-of-ohio-voting-rights-group/

Ohio Democratic U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown, who represents Cleveland, said her inquiries haven’t been answered, either.

“My office has contacted the FBI demanding information, and I am deeply concerned that this is an effort to use federal law enforcement to intimidate and halt voter registration and organizing efforts,” she said in a written statement. “This is an unprecedented attack on democracy: these raids must end immediately.”



https://www.facebook.com/groups/1202571436523926/user/538802180
Last night, the FBI raided the offices and homes of a major Ohio voting rights organization. This is a group that registers voters, especially in communities that are often ignored.

These are textbook physical intimidation tactics by a desperate government afraid of losing power. They're trying to scare Ohioans into silence. But screw that, and screw the cowardly Trump Administration.

Ohio doesn't do silence. It's time to get even louder.

FBI Director Kash Patel had to fire agents to keep his job, lawsuit says... 


Three dead, including suspect, and 14 injured after shooting at Austin bar: 
Officials are investigating the early Sunday morning shooting as a potential act of terrorism, but didn’t provide further details, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
During the shooting, the Shooter wore a sweatshirt with “Property of Allah” written across the front and a shirt with an Iranian flag design, according to The Associated Press.

No Kings invitation


On Faceborg I read:
I will never get over the fact that so many people who did not support Trump also refused to vote for Kamala. It makes no sense that a person could understand that Trump was a threat to our democracy, but still choose not to vote for the person running against him. Nobody is perfect. Everybody has their flaws. Everybody has something that can be criticized. But when you're up against someone like Trump, who made no secret about the things he planned to do to dismantle our government and weaken our democracy, how could you refuse to vote for his opponent just because she wasn't perfect? She would have supported the Constitution. That's the most important thing. Trump made it clear that he WOULDN'T support the Constitution, and Kamala made it clear that she WOULD. How was this even a difficult choice? The Constitution is so important, how could anyone have difficulty choosing between a candidate who supports it and a candidate who doesn't?!?
I can guarantee that Kamala would not have started a war with Iran, either. She also is not in the Epstein files. She would want justice for Epstein's victims, and she would NOT be protecting the abusers. No, she's not perfect. But she would have led this country in the right direction, the complete opposite of what's happening now.
You aren't supposed to look for perfection when you vote...and clearly, people understand that if they voted for Trump. You are supposed to vote for the candidate who will lead the country in the right direction...not to be perfect, but to be at least heading in the right direction. Four years later, you can vote for someone else if you are unhappy with the person who is currently in charge. But now we've got someone who is messing with the voting system. Things aren't going to just go back to normal in 4 years. He might even refuse to leave office, and the weak, spineless Congress will just shrug their shoulders and go, "Oh well." All you had to do was vote for Kamala and none of this would be happening.

and I Replied: 
I voted for Kamala. The real problem was that the inner circle of the Democratic Party Failed to select Gavin Newsom... Did they ever notice that 100% of the presidents of the United States were men? A woman ran twice and failed both times... Let's not make that same mistake again...

Excellent map of what's burning where... 

The Entire West is Burning... Every Year there will be MORE MORE MORE fires... If we Owned Helicopters We Could Get Water from Lakes and PUT OUT the Fires. 

Last Year, Two of California's Massive Fires - Were Near Lakes... One Near Lake Tahoe and One Near Lake Almanor... and Both Lakes Had Water in them... We Could Have Put those Fires Out Early... If We Only Had Helicopters. 

Tell Your Representatives to Buy Some Helicopters!
https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/ Enter your California address and click the locate button to find your State Senate and Assembly representatives.

FC Said: Then you also need, at minimum, 1,000 trained pilots, and several hundred mechanics.

and I Replied: WONDERFUL! We have a LOT of Soldiers that are NO LONGER fighting the War in Afghanistan... Many of those people are Idle... and Would LOVE to Help their Friends and Neighbors... Put Them to Work! Thanks for Reminding me of the Benefit to our Soldiers!

Here's a Helicopter Dipping a Bucket into a River to Drop Water on a Wildfire. We need to Buy 1,000 of these to put out Fires THIS SUMMER! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_firefighting
and
A helicopter bucket is a specialised bucket suspended on a cable carried by a helicopter to deliver water for aerial firefighting. Each bucket has a release valve on the bottom which is controlled by the helicopter crew. When the helicopter is in position, the crew releases the water to extinguish or suppress the fire below.

Thank You, Joe Biden, for Ending the Pointless War in Afghanistan. Our Soldiers were Wasting their Time fighting a war that cannot be won for people that do not want us there. I feel certain that the Soldiers would rather be home fighting fires that threaten their families and friends... Bring 'em Home and Bring Home the Helicopters too...
