One of your best, J.C. You are right, absolutely, one of many impeachable offenses. And beautifully said by Ali Velshi. Those of us who lived through Kent State, who came of age to it, are having wicked flashbacks. Thank you for making the connection. Remember in November, people!
Please keep an eye on the SAVE act. If passed, it would require extra documentation for people who have changed their names, such as married women, when voting. Independent journalists are reporting plans to pass this legislation surge lat minute leaving people no time to get these documents which can take weeks or months to track down, leaving them unable to vote in the midterms. Get papers now if you at all might need them. https://substack.com/inbox/post/160377191
I love it when all these Christians say their Christians but yet they support a racist president like dump Trump. Christ loves everyone. Trump hates everyone. Big difference.
He is calling his sleeper cells to action. People vote for candidates and rarely think about which candidate would be best for the country, county, state, etc. Instead, they vote personal interests: I will less pay tax, he promised he would fix ______, America First, which has turned into America The Conqueror. JFK said it best: Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.
J.C., I appreciate your daily thoughts and insights into the Hell that is TRUMP World. I do wonder, though, if I'm right to be terrified of a President Maybelline Vance, a man who seems to be made of more waffles than IHOP.
And if I hear one more time he’s having another kid I’ll scream. The kid is biracial and he kisses the butt of a racist. I can only imagine what JD’s wife thinks or maybe it doesn’t count with her.
I remember being in the 9 th grade when the students were murdered at Kent State We were so upset that we all walked out and sat on the high school lawn. we were so passionate about our values and the need for change. Today our Republican Congress is stagnated in challenging a corrupt president and administration whose motives seem to be all be based on power and money I have many friends that are Trump supporters very rarely do we speak politics Still I want to shake them and question their loyalty to a man who is behind so many evil things like the killing of Americans, the Epstein files, supporting those that are bring back disease like measles, trying to fix our elections the list goes on and on his own pandoras box . Hopefully he won’t be able to fix the elections in 26 and the country will be able to begin mending that which has been broken
This is a totally biased write up. Stop trying to indoctrinate the people; Mr. Trump is doing his best for the country. If you think you can do better than get out there and help; stop obstr4cting and fillling people's minds with garbgage,. Jornalists and media are doing a hate crime in reporting that they are now doing. Where were they when Obama and Biden were in office?
@MargaretAbernathy: agreed, Mr Bruce’s information is biased but the bias relates to facts that are irrefutable. We are on a slippery slope and there is one perpetrator prepared to push us over the edge. Witness the events of history and perhaps you may have an inkling of what will happen.
Here’s a very chilling summary for your consideration if you have the willingness. We are all in this together and my particular bias is absolutely not authoritarian. Its a bias for Truth.
Kent State, ICE in Minnesota and IRGC comparisons
The January 2026 Iranian uprising was indeed catastrophic in scale—this has been the largest uprising since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, with the ensuing crackdown resulting in massacres that left tens of thousands of protesters dead, making them the largest massacres in modern Iranian history .
The numbers are staggering: Internal estimates from Iran’s Ministry of Health indicated at least 30,000 people were killed in the first 48 hours of the most intense crackdown on January 8-9, 2026. By late January, sources reported between 30,000 and 36,500 protesters were killed during January 8-9 .
A parallel to the “slippery slope” is even more apt. What we’re seeing are different points on a spectrum of state violence against civilians:
- **Kent State (1970)**: 4 students killed by National Guard
- **Minnesota ICE operations (January 2026)**: 2 U.S. citizens killed in separate incidents
- **Iran (January 2026)**: Tens of thousands killed in systematic massacres
The Iranian regime’s response represents what happens when state violence against protesters faces no internal checks—the crackdown was carried out under Ali Khamenei’s and senior officials’ order for live fire on protesters . This is exactly the danger you’re warning about: when governments normalize using lethal force domestically, and when accountability mechanisms fail or weaken, the scale can escalate dramatically.
The comparison underscores why vigilance at the earliest signs—contested official narratives, lethal force in domestic settings, targeting of dissent—is so critical. Each represents a potential step toward normalization of state violence that, unchecked, can lead to the systematic brutality we’re witnessing in Iran.
Surely, you would not support these tactics? Please say that you too are biased in the sense of accountability and reason. Thank you.
We have had many tragedies in our history and willhae many more After all we are just humans. I detest all the violence and hatred these days; tey also happened in the past. We must learn to get along together, respect each other and work towards peace. Rioters and misinformation does not help. We like to think we are in control, only God is. Peace to you and yours.
I don't agree with a word you say, Margaret, but I appreciate the fact that you, an obvious Trump supporter, are taking time out to read what you bill as a biased write-up against him. Good for you. I wish, though, that you had pounded more on the facts than on the table. What specifically did Obama and Biden do that are relevant to this discussion? And I would be interested to hear why you think Mr. Trump is doing his best for the country. I would also ask you to listen carefully to Fox News and apply your truth meter to what they are reporting. There is no doubt but that J. C, Bruce is bias in his discussion and analysis of the news. He is an analyst and not a news reporter. He makes no bones about it. So, when you read him, you read his opinions and biasness. You know that, yet you still read him. That's why I say good for you. You are trying to ferret out the truth. If more of us did that, and that includes those of us who waive the Dump Trump banner, our election results might reflect our intelligence instead of our bias. Respectully.
Actually, Mr Bruce is a passionate accountability supporter as I view his words of caution from this latest article. Would you support untruths and fabrications as the norm? Not I.
@AlanSharp: honestly, it is unclear to me if you are pro or against Trump. My understanding that the “dump Trump“ cadre Are those who want him out of politics, However there is The inference that you are denigrating Mr. Bruce’s opinion and you are inferring that we should “dump” this latest article And it’s author.
Does be think Republicans IE MAGA MUTANTS don’t vote? Cut off his nose despite his ugly face. It’ll backfire. When Dems and independents are ready to get rid of someone nothing will stop them however, the uneducated MAGAS will be the ones with their ID pants down.

Will do. Thanks.
I love it when all these Christians say their Christians but yet they support a racist president like dump Trump. Christ loves everyone. Trump hates everyone. Big difference.
Proof? Only worried about what he sees when he golfs and not that the wind turbines supply electricity to people. One of many proof positives.
He is calling his sleeper cells to action. People vote for candidates and rarely think about which candidate would be best for the country, county, state, etc. Instead, they vote personal interests: I will less pay tax, he promised he would fix ______, America First, which has turned into America The Conqueror.

What specifically in this post by J.C. was "misinformation"?
Just a comment, bnot intwended for that post.

Obviously dump Trump supporter

Everything dump Trump says is untrue, or fabricated. When his mouth is moving and he’s lying.
@AlanSharp: honestly, it is unclear to me if you are pro or against Trump. My understanding that the “dump Trump“ cadre Are those who want him out of politics, However there is The inference that you are denigrating Mr. Bruce’s opinion and you are inferring that we should “dump” this latest article And it’s author.

Let’s just say that dump Trump is exactly what it means dump Trump
