The Future

Updates - I'm adding updates to the information below as things come true that I have predicted.  I will also include the date and links to supporting documentation.  New data will be in a color other than black.


The election is over (thank goodness, tired of all the ads everywhere) and unfortunately, my candidate did not win.  I've never been overly upset whenever my preferred candidate lost in the past, but this time was different.  Brian stayed up watching the election coverage and came to bed sometime around 3am or so.  He woke me to give me the news, and it was like someone poured cold water over me.  I stared into the bathroom for what seemed like hours, and the tears just came flowing as the realization sunk in that one of the vilest humans possible was elected as our president.

Donald Trump is a:

  • convicted felon
  • 91 criminal charges (dropped to 88)
  • 4 indictments
  • rapist
  • racist
  • con-man
  • liar
  • cheater 
    • he cheated on his wives
    • he cheats businesses out of payment
    • he hasn't paid the venues at which he has held his political rallies
  • insurrectionist
  • 6 bankruptcies
  • 2 impeachments
  • 1 convicted company
  • 1 fake charity shut down
  • 1 fake university shut down
  • 26 sexual assault allegations
  • $25 million dollar fraud settlement
  • $5 million dollar sexual abuse settlement
  • $2 million dollar charity abuse settlement
I could go on and on, but you get the point.  Those of you that support him seem to overlook all of these things, and claim that it's all "fake news", or that this stuff only comes up because the other side wants to smear him.

It's fact that he's a convicted felon.  34 felony counts for paying off the porn star to try to keep news of their one-night stand secret so it wouldn't affect the election.

It's a fact that he's a rapist - he was found liable for defamation against someone who alleged rape, and the judge stated that it was fact that he raped her, but unfortunately the statute of limitations had past for that crime.

It's a fact that he's a racist.  There are court cases and statements regarding this.

It's a fact that he's a liar. There are over 30,000 documented and proven lies that he told in his first presidency term.  He told multiple lies during his only debate with Kamala.  

It's a fact that he's a cheater.  He cheated on his first wife with his second wife.  He cheated on his second wife with his third wife, and he cheated on his third wife multiple times, including with the adult film star.

It's a fact that he cheats businesses out of payments.  There are multiple cases known where he refused to pay, violating the contracts, but he bogs the businesses down with legal filings, making it too expensive for the business to keep fighting for payment.

That's all I have to say about the list above, as it's all documented fact and you can look it up yourself.

Here are my predictions, and honestly, my fears, for what this Trump presidency will give us:
  • will weaponize the DOJ to go after his political enemies, having them arrested and prosecuted.  He has stated that he will do this.  Updated 1/14/2026:  These charges were brought in a hurry, just a day or 2 before the statue of limitations expired on the alleged crimes.  In September 2025, former FBI Director James Comey was indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia on felony charges of making false statements and obstructing Congress regarding his 2020 testimony about authorized media leaks. A federal judge dismissed the case in November 2025 due to an unlawfully appointed prosecutor, but the DOJ is actively attempting to revive prosecution, with a trial originally scheduled for January 2026. 
    Key details regarding the United States v. Comey case:
    • Charges: The indictment alleged two felonies: a false-statements violation (18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2)) and obstruction of a congressional proceeding (18 U.S.C. § 1505).
    • Allegations: The charges stemmed from Comey's September 30, 2020, testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, where he denied authorizing an FBI official to act as an anonymous source for news reports.
    • Dismissal: On November 24, 2025, Judge Cameron McGawan Curry dismissed the case, ruling that the prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, was unlawfully appointed, rendering the indictment invalid.
    • Current Status: Despite the dismissal, the Justice Department has indicated it may seek to re-indict Comey, leading to ongoing legal battles over evidence and the validity of the prosecution.
    • Defense: Comey pleaded not guilty and has described the prosecution as a politically motivated effort by the Trump administration.Federal prosecutor in Virginia fired after refusing to lead Comey case | Virginia | The Guardia Letitia James, James Comey take aim at DOJ attempt to revive failed criminal cases - Democracy Docket
    • After hhe posted this on Truth Social 12/28/25, there was a rush to get charges brought before the statute of limitations expired on potential charges against Comey and James

  • is already buddied up with Putin and will buddy up with Kim Jon Un if he hasn't already. (remember - he has praised them multiple times and mentioned he wants to be like them) - Trump's flip-flopping conceals a deeper truth, and it's not good news for Ukraine

For those of you who insist that he was telling the truth that he "knows nothing about Project 2025" - do you really believe that?  His name is mentioned in it more than 300 times.  The vice president-elect wrote the forward.  Over 200 of his previous administration officials are involved in the project.  This project was created by his loyalists and allies. He runs in the same circles with many of these people. There is just no way in the universe that he could not know about this plot.  And now that he's won the election, there are several in his circle saying that yes, they are planning on implementing this project, that it's the real agenda.

Trump doesn't understand how tariffs work.  He thinks by implementing tariffs against foreign goods, those foreign countries will be penalized and paying the tariffs.  He doesn't understand that it will make the prices increase for those items, and many of those items imported are not manufactured here in the states.  I understand the purpose of tariffs, and why he'd want to implement them, but it will ultimately cause inflation.  Inflation has begun to rise.  As of 9/18/2025, Trump's tariffs have been ruled illegal by an appeals court.  Most Trump tariffs ruled illegal by appeals court  added 9/18/2025

He wants to "deport all the illegals" and has said that there is no price tag too high to accomplish this.  What he and his supporters don't understand, is that this will cost at least $100,000,000,000 (billion) dollars, and will take 20 years to accomplish.  In the meantime, this deportation will cost the country millions of dollars in taxes (immigrants pay sales tax, ad valorem tax on property, property taxes, etc.). Creating "shelters" where immigrants would stay until they are deported would cost around $40 million PER MONTH to operate. Using existing jail or prison space to house the undocumented until deportation would cost around $350 a day. Currently the average time it takes a case to make it through immigration court is 1016 days - at $350/day, that would cost $355,600 per immigrant. 

Where would we send these immigrants once they are scheduled for deportation?  There are at least a dozen countries that do not accept immigrants being deported from the US.  These countries include China, Cuba, India, and Russia, as well as Venezuela. In spring 2025, immigrants were sent to CECOT, a maximum-security prison in El Salvador, where conditions and treatment are inhumane.  Of the first 200+ men shipped there, 3/4 of them were NOT CRIMINALS, EVER, IN ANY COUNTRY.  No criminal records.  Many of those men were in the US legally, and contrary to what Trump wants people to believe, the majority of the men were NOT members of Tren de Aragua, MS-13, or any other gang.  added 9/18/2025

5% of the American workforce is undocumented immigrants.  5% might not sound like a lot, but those folks make up a large percentage of our food processing (think produce harvesting and packaging, and working at meat packing plants), as well as construction.  By removing these folks from the country, we would see crops die and not make it to the grocers, produce and home construction costs will skyrocket because Americans generally don't work those jobs.   

Removing all of these people from the country would also affect other businesses.  Think about it - the immigrants would no longer be here to buy food, clothing, and other goods, which would cause those businesses to lose sales, and the governments to lose tax revenue.

I agree that we need to fix the immigration problem; I don't know the answer, but mass deporting people will not solve the problem.  

On the immigration topic, Trump had promised the government would only be concerned with getting the "worst of the worst", the "violent criminals", deported.  ICE has picked up many Puerto Ricans, mistaking them for immigrants, as well as people who are US Citizens, or are here LEGALLY and are following all laws and requirements to stay in the country. People are being arrested at their green card appointments, after coming here LEGALLY, following the rules, just to show up to continue the process and be deported.  added 9/18/2025

One thing mentioned in Agenda 47, the "official GOP platform", they intend to cut federal funding for any school that is "pushing critical race theory, radical gender ideology, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children".  Who is going to determine what is appropriate or not?  Just because YOU don't believe in more than 2 genders, doesn't make having just 2 genders true.  Just because YOU don't want children to learn about our country's racist past and how it affects things today, doesn't mean our children shouldn't learn about it.  We cannot grow and improve without learning about our past, no matter how ugly it may be, otherwise we are doomed to repeat it.  Trump is putting people in positions over museums to control the history that is presented.  He wants to make slavery appear like it "wasn't that bad". Trump rages that ‘woke’ Smithsonian teaches ‘how bad Slavery was’ | The Independent  added 9/18/2025

Oklahoma is trying to force religious education that amounts to Christian Nationalism but so far, the courts are striking it down.  Conservative State Supreme Court Halts Plan for Bible Instruction in School - Newsweek  added 9/18/2025

If you've made it this far, thank you for reading.  Please don't respond back with hate, or with "fake news!" comments.  None of this is fake.  It's all real, and it's all documented.  If you can't research on your own and find these things, then I can't help you.

I sure hope that I am wrong about these things, but I just have an awful feeling that most if not all of these things will happen.

One Year Ago Today...

...I was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in the right inguinal lymph node.  Thus began my journey as a cancer patient, and thankfully I am now a cancer survivor. 

Reading this: 

was certainly NOT what I expected that day when the results came through.  I'm not going to rehash everything I went through, but I am forever thankful that it is over, at least as far as treatment goes.  I've got a negative PET scan and a negative CT scan under my belt and have my next scans in late December.  

I still have dreams of having to have surgery, the type of surgery is usually different, and I honestly cannot remember actually knowing the type of surgery I was having. In my dreams, I don't think I have cancer, but I can't remember all of it to know for sure.

I had my port removed on August 23 and am so happy to be able to wear my seat belt properly while driving now!  

I think I mentioned in my last blog post that I was adopting the mantra "All will be well" and "this girl can".  Today I did a little something...

Colby at Long Live Tattoo in Lagrange added this little reminder to my arm today.  It didn't even dawn on me until I was talking to my sis-in-law that today makes a year since diagnosis.  How fitting that I chose today as the day to have my mantra inscribed permanently on my arm.  It will serve as a reminder to me that I went through something pretty tough, and if I can get through that, I can get through anything.

If you want to know more about my journey with cancer, please message me on Facebook or comment here.  I'm an open book when it comes to matters of my health.

Thank you to all of you who prayed for me, sent positive energy, mo-jo, ju-ju, etc., to me over the last year.  I've definitely felt the positivity!
