Do these people remind you of anyone?
After the crash of 1929, one out of three Germans were unemployed. During the 1920s, Hitler and Gottfried Feder, plus several others, put together a 25-point plan for Germany to return to glory. “Proponents of anti-capitalist, nationalist-imperialist, anti-Semitic movements were resorted to in its compilation,” historian Karl Dietrich Brachewrote. He called the program “social, racist, national-imperialist thinking,” but in later years many points promised to the German people were not realized.
In 1933, the German economy was on the mend and recovering when Hitler was appointed chancellor. The 25-point plan was ready for implementation and high on the agenda was tariffs, German workers and farmers producing German goods for German consumers. Jews were held responsible for most of Germany’s financial troubles. Hitler said prices would remain stable and importation restriction was key, he also repealed international agreements.
In Hitler’s first speech he said the country needed to rebuild after years of mismanagement by previous leaders and he would restore life, liberty and happiness to the German people. They needed to cleanse the bureaucracy, public life, culture and population in order to restore pride and honor to the German state.
Hungary’s Viktor Orban applied pressure to the media companies turning them into state propaganda outlets or they were put out of business. He took control of the universities appointing leaders loyal to him, privatizing them and packing their boards with individuals close to Orban by promising them to be put on a solid financial footing. He weakened the court system by filling it with loyalists and rid any institution of government from having a check on his powers.
They don’t have immigrants in Hungary and gender ideology, any public demonstrations or resistance has been nonexistent because of a public assembly laws.

What do you mean ‘we’?
About the opinion of Willis Kulp in his comments published in the Greeley Tribune on April 30:
A judge no longer on the bench is contradicting what he was supposed to support when he was on the bench. Truth and justice are being mocked by the current president of the United States of America.
When Kulp says, “We wish him well,” he means he wishes him well. A writer’s observations and perceptions are his own when he submits his name as the author of his comments. Hatred has nothing to do with my perception of the president. Pity is my only feeling for the weak and desperate man. He is filled with insecurity, and his actions reflect that. It is why he is failing again.
I have faith that democracy will prevail over the tunnel vision of the current administration. Patience is a virtue. Blessings.

Just wondering
I wonder, if a large group of people came to Mar-a-Lago, smashed windows, destroyed property, and people died, would Donald Trump call them “patriots”? I wonder if Trump would deport Elon Musk, Melania Trump and Boris Epshteyn (a senior adviser to Trump), because they’re immigrants? I wonder, if a severe storm brought heavy rain and severe wind that demolished one of his golf courses, would he attribute it to climate change? I wonder, if a group of people protesting an abortion clinic was confronted by another group and a car driving into them, would Trump claim “there are good people on both sides”? I wonder, if people at one of his rallies were determined to have measles, would he get vaccinated?
Just wondering.
