• The first steps on a dark path

  (original post date on FB – March 17th, 2025)

  My original post of FB was very combative and almost insulting, please forgive me if you saw that post, as it violates the very nature of what I say this board should be doing – opening discussions.

  Today marks a significant and troubling moment in our nation’s history. Former President Trump’s actions have moved from the shadows into the open, raising serious concerns about the state of our democracy. At 12:30 a.m., he announced on his platform, Truth Social, that he had nullified all pardons issued by President Biden on his final day in office. This action is not within the constitutional powers of any branch of government and raises serious legal and ethical questions.

  These pardons were granted to individuals involved in the January 6th Commission hearings, representing both Democrats and Republicans. This move appears to target those who have been critical of Trump, further escalating tensions and undermining the rule of law.

  Trump’s recent actions, including the removal of key figures from the DOJ and FBI, suggest a calculated effort to consolidate power within the executive branch. His disregard for judicial orders, such as the recent refusal to comply with a court’s temporary block on deportations, highlights a concerning erosion of respect for our legal institutions.

  History shows that the undermining of democratic institutions often begins with the weakening of the rule of law. As citizens, it is our responsibility to remain vigilant and hold our leaders accountable to the principles of our Constitution.

• News for the Day, First Fallout from Trump/Vance press conference with Zelensky?

  We see that Europe has circled the wagons so to speak around Ukraine, with Briton taking the lead in an attempt to salvage some type of reasonable peace settlement for the war between Ukraine and Russia.

  https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/uks-starmer-tries-revive-hope-ukraine-peace-summit-2025-03-01/

  Hoping to somehow save the ship that Vance and Trump torpedoed on Friday, the leaders of these NATO/EU nations will try to come up with a framework of a proposal that can then be sent to the US for review and further debate.

  In other fallout a Norwegian fueling company, Haltbakk Bunkers, with contracts for refueling ships in Norwegian ports has come out with a ironclad statement that they will no longer refuel American warships after the ‘Sh**show’ of a performance by Trump and Vance in ‘backstabbing’ Zelensky on live tv last week. Taken from the article linked below, ‘Haltbakk Bunkers plays a significant role in Norway’s maritime industry, supplying fuel to vessels calling at Norwegian ports, including NATO and allied forces. The decision to cut off the U.S. military could have logistical implications for American naval operations in the region. Norway is a key NATO member and frequently hosts U.S. and allied forces for joint exercises and Arctic defence operations.’

  Norway’s government made clear in later press releases that this is not the policy nor position of the Norwegian government. Norway commits to continued co-operation with they United States and it military.
