Trump Day 1: Signs Emergency Energy Bill: There is No Emergency?

Pardons Insurrectionist, Murders, Violent Mobsters That Stormed the Capital (J6)

By DL White


Brace yourself America, the roller-coaster ride is just beginning. There is sure to be quick, jerky turns/twist and a false assumption that the “Golden Years” are underway.

 The heads of all the major social media networks were present, sitting front and center including Mark Zuckerberg – Facebook/Meta, Jeff Bezos – Amazon, and Elon Musk, X (formerly twitter, Tesla). Oligarchs. 

Falling in line with Trump’s new agenda Zuckerberg cowered and has announced FB/Meta would discontinue verification of information, anything goes on X and no doubt the lies will fly.

Following the 2016 election, when it was discovered that Russia interfered in the election in Trump’s favor, and that FB realized a reasonable amount of the content was false, Zuckerberg promised to do better going forward. That has ended apparently – Alternative facts, false posting – all ok now.

Trump’s non-constitutional Executive Orders are nothing more than a smoke screen to divert from the price of eggs and food in general continues at high rates. 

 Hours following one of the smallest inaugurations in the history of the United States of America, Trump pulled out his ‘kindergarten’ size marker and began the destruction of democracy. 

With one swoop of the pen (marker), Donald J. Trump fulfilled a portion of his pre-campaign threats, which being to free the insurrectionist, murderers and others committing acts of sedition against the United States on January 6, 2021, now being referred to as J6ers.

The initial fear Trump evoked during his 2015 announcement of his decision to seek the GOP nomination to run for president paled in the reality that Trump was pardoning individuals that actually committed the crimes they were sentenced to prison for. 

Of the fifteen hundred (1,500) pardons, the list included members of the violent, far-right racist group Proud Boy who will no doubt be embolden by the pardon as well as the Oath Keepers. 

Ironically, Trump’s inauguration took place in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, the very same spot in which those storming the Capitol broke in chanting “Hang Mike Pence” and death to House Speaker at the time Nancy Pelosi.

Trump’s pardon’s and commuting the sentences of those attacking the halls of justice to “stop the steal” were called hostages by Trump. 

Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys who was convicted of seditious conspiracy was serving a 22-year sentence in prison for his role in planning the insurrection. 

A Washington DC police commander who was discovered to have written a letter of support to Tarrio stating he supported what was planned was also convicted and serving time in prison. 

The days of lawlessness appear to have begun as pardon allows these known violent and bad actors to have the opportunity to purchase and own guns once again. 

Trump’s super-size marker was busy, as he signed an Emergency Energy Bill, in reality there is no emergency. The bill utilizing the wording “emergency” allows the president to seek out protected lands for America’s need for energy (again) there is not shortage of energy, Oil, gas or power.

Trump has his eye on protected lands in Alaska, which were preserved by President Biden and previous Presidents. 

During his first term in Office – Trump pushed for a Corporate Sales Tax under assumption it would create jobs? The Corporate stake holders stated they did not need a tax cut as they were doing well following President Obama’s terms in office.

Nonetheless, Trump pushed the bill through, and the residual impact possibly lead to the sluggish economy years later? The loss of billions of dollars certainly can have an impact.

Trump also on Day 1 signed Executive Orders to remove America from the World Health Organization which keeps an open eye and ear on the world’s health pulse. 

China has offered its assistance in the absence of America. One of the greatest polluters in the world must see an opportunity to expand its trade with 

While Trump was signing Executive Orders in the Oval Office, the Speaker of the House was “cleaning house” moving members of his own party (GOP) off various committees and replacing them with loyal Trump supporters who will do his bidding. 

The push to encapsulate Trump and pass his agenda by any means necessary – is underway, just as Project 2025 suggested. 

The very foundation of democracy is under attack from within. The consciousness of the nation will soon be challenged as well, as Trump further rolls out an autocratic approach to government. 

Certainly, there will be challenges to Trump’s attempt to reinvent the Nation and transform the current Democrat process into something that resembles Russia or North Korea – a dictator at the helm. 

This begs the question, is there anyone in the current GOP to oppose the challenges to Democracy being proposed by Trump and Project 2025? . But the question remains: is there anyone left in the Republican Party willing to stand up to him?

What exactly will it take for someone or a few “someone’s” in the GOP to say, “ENOUGH!” 

Notably, with the mass pardons of January 6 insurrectionists—the very individuals who stormed the Capitol, chanting death threats against Mike Pence and hunting down lawmakers—one must ask: how do Republicans like Tim Scott, Susan Collins, Marco Rubio, Jim Jordan, Lindsey Graham, and Ted Cruz reconcile their silence? They ran for their lives on January 6, 2021. How do they now sit quietly as Trump pardons those who would have harmed them? How do they look themselves in the mirror?
