The Wish
Should some great angel say to me to-morrow, "Thou must re-tread thy pathway from the start, But God will grant, in pity, for thy sorrow, Someone dear wish, the nearest to thy heart." This was my wish! - from my life's dim beginning, let
be what hasbeen! wisdom planned the whole My want, my woe, my errors, and my sinning, All, all were needed lessons for my soul.0 -
If you think Trump loves and cares about you, just show up at MaraLago and see how fast security comes to man-handle you out of their and his way.

Grab your Sunday coffee, tea, water, or whatever, and let’s chat.
For those who celebrate, Happy Easter. I hope you can spend time with your family. I’ve saved an honorary seat for the Meidas Mighty at my dinner table tonight, so I will be thinking of you and your courage.
I mean it when I say how proud I am of you and how honored I am to call you a friend. The odds were against you by a lot. The billionaires with all the money in the world—what they call “f*** you money”—were scared and submitted to protect their wealth. How’s that working out for them?
No one expected we’d still be here together fighting against the Trump regime on Easter Sunday. Scratch that. I expected it. We expected it. You expected it. Trump and Musk thought they’d control the White House, Congress, the federal courts, the media, and universities by now. They failed.
As a whole, federal courts have stood up to the Trump regime, although there are some notable bad rulings. Harvard has led the way in showing universities how to resist. The corporate media imploded, but independent media led by the MeidasTouch Network took its place. We grew with the help of our Substack subscribers here (subscribe now if you can).
Yesterday we saw mass protests across the country once again. Shoutout to 50501 for their work in coordinating these protests. The MeidasTouch Network worked closely with 50501 leadership yesterday to bring you images and videos from the protests. What I found amazing about yesterday’s protests we covered were the activations in thousands of small towns, not just the big cities.
So here we are—it’s Easter Sunday. We are not yet at the 100-day mark of the disastrous presidency. What have we learned? What lessons can we share today about the Trump regime? Here are some observations.
First, the Trump regime is run by dangerous idiots. Their corruption is somehow exceeded by their incompetence. It resembles Trump’s failed, bankrupted businesses. I’ve described Trump’s Cabinet meetings as the worst season of The Apprentice meets Kim Jong Un’s North Korea.
Second, the world has come to the universal conclusion—friend and foe alike—that Trump is a reckless extortionist who backs down when you stand up to him and extorts you more if you make a deal with him. The obvious conclusion is he can’t be trusted and he terminally exists in the world of bad faith.
Third, the Trump regime enjoys cruelty. They are bad people. They get off on the suffering. It makes them feel strong and powerful. The money alone never satiates them. Using the money to inflict pain and hurt people is what they enjoy most. Trump admires those who torture.
Fourth, the regime is crashing, and the crash is accelerating daily. They are irredeemable, and the regime is unsalvageable. They’ve trapped themselves in their own corruption, deceit, and incompetence. The dominoes are already falling and the cascading collapse is picking up speed.
Fifth, the opposition and resistance is robust and real. As Trump’s house of cards falls, the opposite is true of the resistance, which builds brick by brick. We are scrappy. We are resourceful. And together, we are mighty.
We have all brought unique skills to this fight against the Trump regime. We have stood shoulder to shoulder not just here in the United States, but in solidarity with pro-democracy communities internationally.
We are not letting Trump write the final chapter of our history as a democracy. We are making sure this period remains contained as an out-of-sequence disastrous chapter that we can soon turn the page from—and move toward a future filled with endless passages of a thriving and vibrant democracy that will define our collective story.
And so it must be written, and so we must write it.
We have been called upon right now in this perilous moment to stand up and fight.
None of us wanted this moment as our reality on Easter Day 2025. But that’s not what was in store for us.
We must now meet this moment.
We are meeting this moment.
You are meeting this moment.
You’ve summoned the courage to fight an authoritarian regime.
You’ve found your voice and your community.
You know what you are fighting for.
So as we reflect on what comes next on this Easter Day 2025, we should take solace in what we’ve done already—and we must prepare for the fight of our lives in the future.
Trump is desperate. He will act out and throw more our way. We know how to beat him. We beat him with people power.
We take to the streets. We take to the courts. We build our own media.
We grow our community.
We empower others who share our principles and values to lead.
We grow even more.
On this Easter Day, as I am drinking this cup of coffee first thing in the morning, a tear is slowly dripping down my left eye. Not because I am sad. No—these are tears of joy as I reflect on what we’ve done together already and what I know we are capable of doing together in the future.
We will never give up.
We will never submit.
We will fight until we win.
We will win.

The Easter Message:
If the 34 felony convictions, criminal indictments, and legal liability for sexual assault were not enough of a tip-off, Donald Trump continues to demonstrate why he is arguably the worst human being ever to sit in the Oval Office.
This was his version of an Easter post on Truth Social:
Happy Easter to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting and scheming so hard to bring Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, the Mentally Insane, and well known MS-13 Gang Members and Wife Beaters, back into our Country. Happy Easter also to the WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Judges and Law Enforcement Officials who are allowing this sinister attack on our Nation to continue, an attack so violent that it will never be forgotten!
Sleepy Joe Biden purposefully allowed Millions of CRIMINALS to enter our Country, totally unvetted and unchecked, through an Open Borders Policy that will go down in history as the single most calamitous act ever perpetrated upon America. He was, by far, our WORST and most Incompetent President, a man who had absolutely no idea what he was doing -- But to him, and to the person that ran and manipulated the Auto Pen (perhaps our REAL President!), and to all of the people who CHEATED in the 2020 Presidential Election in order to get this highly destructive Moron Elected, I wish you, with great love, sincerity, and affection, a very Happy Easter!!!...

He always does this and I assume he thinks its brilliant of him. Usually, I don't pay much attention because I know what to expect but it sort of got to me today. I also presume there are people who enjoy hearing his lies and taunts and look forward to this 'messages'.
Of course, I also presume that nothing else could possibly be expected from the likes of Trump. Crass and crude in normal behavior for anyone, so of course presidential behavior is completely off the charts.
Some days are harder than others to take, and Easter which to me is truly for kids for the most part, it really stinks to have someone like him with his TRASH talk messages. Sigh !!!

Former Pentagon official warns department’s dysfunction could topple Hegseth
“The last month has been a full-blown meltdown at the Pentagon,” John Ullyot, the former top Defense Department spokesperson, wrote in a POLITICO Magazine opinion piece.

The Pentagon is in “total chaos” and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and continuous missteps at the highest levels of the department.
“The building is in disarray under Hegseth’s leadership,” John Ullyot wrote Sunday in a POLITICO Magazine opinion piece. “The dysfunction is now a major distraction for the president — who deserves better from his senior leadership.”
Ullyot, who resigned from the Pentagon last week, described a department in collapse. He accused Hegseth’s team of “falsehoods” about why three top officials were fired last week, saying they hadn’t leaked sensitive information to the media. He chastised Pentagon officials for how they handled revelations that Hegseth shared sensitive military information in a Signal chat, and he pointed to other leaks that caused embarrassment to the administration.
The remarkable accusations by a former official — who left only two days ago and insists he still supports the Trump administration’s national security policies — underscores the infighting and upheaval that has turned increasingly public in recent weeks.
But he also found himself in the center of several controversies that added to that chaos.
Ullyot was sidelined after he defended the removal in March of a story discussing the service of baseball legend Jackie Robinson, part of a larger purge of diversity-related military webpages.
“The last month has been a full-blown meltdown at the Pentagon — and it’s becoming a real problem for the administration,” he wrote.
The Defense Department and White House did not respond to requests for comment.
The Pentagon on Friday fired top staffers — senior adviser Dan Caldwell, deputy chief of staff Darin Selnick and Colin Carroll, chief of staff to the deputy Defense secretary. Joe Kasper, Hegseth’s chief of staff will also leave his role in the coming days for a new position at the agency, according to a senior administration official.
POLITICO was the first to report the firings and Kasper’s move, which one defense official ascribed to personality clashes between the chief of staff and the other men.
“Hegseth is now presiding over a strange and baffling purge” that has left him without senior advisers, Ullyot wrote. “More firings may be coming, according to rumors in the building.”
The three fired staff backed up some of Ullyot’s claims in a Saturday post on X, saying they didn’t know why they were terminated. The trio wrote that they “have not been told what exactly we were investigated for, if there is still an active investigation, or if there was even a real investigation of ‘leaks’ to begin with.”
They charged that “unnamed Pentagon officials have slandered our character with baseless attacks on our way out the door.” They expressed support for the “Trump-Vance Administration’s mission to make the Pentagon great again,” but did not mention Hegseth, with whom they’d worked closely.
The terminations follow a purge of top military officers in February, including former Joint Chiefs Chair Gen. C.Q. Brown, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti, Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Linda Fagan, and Air Force second in command, Gen. James Slife.
Even before he departed last week, Ullyot’s own role at the Pentagon was unclear. He wrote in an earlier statement that he was leaving because he and Hegseth “could not come to an agreement on another good fit for me at DOD.”
Ullyot led communications at the National Security Council and the Department of Veterans Affairs during Trump’s first term. He took the lead in the administration’s first weeks in removing the Pentagon workspaces for several media outlets — including POLITICO, The New York Times, The Washington Post and CNN — in favor of giving the spaces to other media outlets, many of them conservative.
His comments will likely make more trouble for Hegseth, who remains under investigation by the Pentagon’s inspector general for his use of Signal to disclose sensitive information about airstrikes in Yemen. The New York Times reported Sunday that Hegseth allegedly set up a Signal chat with his wife, a former Fox News producer, and his lawyer, in which he disclosed potentially classified information on upcoming airstrikes against the Houtis.
“It’s hard to see Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth remaining in his position for much longer,” he wrote.
I always have thoughts about these things and one of the first that come to mine is Ullyot just leaving because he had already planned to — or is he leaving because he feels the need to 'divorce' himself from the mess that has become Pentagon — Hegseth House of Horrors.
I guess from the sound of things lots more will be coming down the pike from the Pentagon so who knows, Trump may just feel like he has to get Hegseth out of the WRONG limelight causing the man who hired him to get too much negative press and wow — he has plenty of that already. Trump is wildly spinning things — like there are now cheap eggs. I don't know where — I sure don't have any. Also that gas is now cheap. Well, it didn't go up like eggs and I couldn't much tell that it changed at all. It fluctuated a bit but never went over $3.49 here and in fact has been lower than that most of the time. So, it's so-so here, not good but not so bad either and no dramatic changes.

Be on the lookout for mercies. The more we look for them, the more of them we will see. . . . Better to lose count while naming your blessings than to lose your blessings to counting your troubles.
