Trump and Miller are best when they threaten.

The dynamic duo? Not really.

They are two Dreamweaver’s. Stephen Miller holds one of the most important positions in the government and it did not require Senate approval. He is a right-hand man to Trump and his policy decision making that changes on a daily basis. Stepehen Miller serves as White House Chief of Staff for Policy. Whatever that is. And Homeland Security Advisor. Whatever that is. Both of these positions did not require Senate approval. And yes, he is paid by the government.

Stephen Miller has long ties to Trump and the Republican Party and holds significant investments that are influenced by the Republican Party. One of those is Palantir Technologies who has contracts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement or better known as ICE. It goes without saying that Miller helps shape the policies of ICE.

For those who are not aware ICE is the result of the Immigration and Naturalization Service or what was known as the INS being discontinued and merged with ICE and DHS in 2003. Where INS was more of an immigration processing body, ICE is more paramilitary than INS was. It is becoming compared more to a secret police force with a growing internal military and aggressive raid tactics.

Does Stephen Miller benefit from the extended use of ICE forces? While the ICE agents are in fact employed by the federal government, Palantir, a private tech company sells data analysis software to government agencies including ICE. So, it would seem he may benefit from his investments.Does Stephen Miller influence Trump? Of course he does.

Stephen Miller is known for his hardline stance on immigration and international policies, and his role in shaping many of the administration's most controversial policies. His background with Trump and the Republican Party has positioned him as a significant player in the White House.

Miller's influence can be seen in various aspects of Trump's policy decisions, particularly in the areas of immigration and national security. Miller's views favor stricter immigration controls and a more aggressive approach to national security. The alignment of their ideologies suggests that Miller did not just influence Trump; rather, he helped to define and increase the Trumps existing beliefs. He effectively channeled Trump's instincts into actionable policy.

By advocating for a more isolationist approach, he aligned with Trump's vision of "America First," which prioritizes American interests over global engagement. This demonstrates how Miller's perspectives are not only influential but are also vital to the narrative of Trump's presidency. Miller's influence is not limited to domestic policy. His views on foreign affairs, particularly concerning immigration and refugee policies, also play an important role in shaping the United States' international policies.

Miller's Influence on the Greenland narrative can be felt. He is no shrinking violet in wanting to portray the United States as the tough guys on the block. His recent interviews and statements are frightening to listen to and they sound like the leader of a police state. This guy actually believes it's OK to grab land from a NATO partner.

Stephen Miller is nothing but a grifter. He is a hanger on in the Republican Party who is granted money for espousing extremist views for those afraid to promote their own beliefs. These are people who have an agenda, but they want to stay out of the mainstream media and out of the public view. Why? Because they are unpopular views and difficult to promote.

But make no mistake. Racism, bigotry, nationalism, xenophobia, white supremacy and the desire for a totalitarian government are alive and well in the United States. People like Stephen Miller are the leading edge of a movement. They are mouthpieces being rewarded for standing out in the public view. Everything this administration does is a smoke screen to keep our eyes off the prize. They have so many activities going on, who could possibly know what any of them have to with a policy? What policy? Policies are changing every day.

Our partners no longer trust us. Or I should say they don't trust Trump. And it is going to take a long time to undo the damage these morons have done to international trusts. That is why it is so important to turn this administration and those who support them out into the street.

Miller's role extends beyond only policy formulation; he is also a key strategist in shaping the narrative around Trump's presidency. His ability to frame issues in a way that appeals to Trump's supporters allows for a message that reinforces the administration's agenda.

This strategy helps solidify Trump's image among his base. It promotes a sense of loyalty and support that is critical during the many controversies in his administration. The constant threats from Trump pointed at adversaries and friends alike are the signature identities of Trump and Miller discussing plans not taking shape to their liking. If a country doesn't agree with something Trump wants, he will increase their tariffs. If Greenland doesn't acquiesce, we may need to just take it. The relationship between Miller and Trump exemplifies how one advisor can impact a presidency, particularly when their ideologies are closely aligned.

I have said it before, and we can see it now on the streets of our country. These guys are just common every day run of the mill thugs. They have taken a federal agency and militarized it to be their own private police force. And they think it is OK.

To be very serious for a moment I want to share my feelings on demonstrations in the United States today. It is dangerous. My opinion is to avoid demonstrations that indicate any potential for conflict. Stay away from assemblies that have the appearance of being unlawful. The 4ht and 1st amendment are not open ended. Do you have those rights? Absolutely. But when the laws are being interpreted by a police state, you know there is going to be a problem.

What is my solution? Get out and VOTE!

Only 64% of legible voters turned out for the election and that is about normal. Too many people stay home. And the leaders we have today is the result of giving up. Or it could be that this is where the United States is going in terms of government and leadership. I hope not. Put your energy and efforts to vote these thugs out of their positions of power and send the message to those they work for that this country is still represented by the average man and not controlled by the wealthy.

This team of backyard gangsters think it is OK to bully their own citizens. They are no different than the hoodlum in middle school who steals the nerds’ glasses or grabs the girl on the ass in the hallway. But then they graduate to high school and university and their pranks get serious and costly. These people and those who support them are sick and not normal.

What Trump and Miller and their supporters are doing with the NATO confrontation is playing with nitro glycerin and into Putin’s plan and he will never end the war in Ukraine. Why would he? All he has to do is wait.

That's the fact Jack!

Think about it and be sure to VOTE!
