Now that my life, and Sandy’s too, are beginning to return to some semblance of normal, dust settling, adaptations employed, and everything that are after-effects of a death, I thought I’d post this short update regarding the completion of Part 2: Of Me, By Me, and For Me. No, I have not forgotten about its incompletion, I have a bit of time to return to it now. I’ve just had to deal with, manage, and put out multiple fires since my mother’s passing November 3rd, 2025, my sister’s evil antics toward me and Mom between October 2024 and Mom’s death, Sandy’s fall and fracture of her hip followed by her long rehab, the torturous delays that the holidays caused in our legal paperwork and very slow progress, and finally sorting out Mom’s life insurance benefits—one to her estate (probate?), another to her beneficiary, me and all that legal paperwork—and still trying to manage, juggle Sandy’s business and legal transitions from Chattanooga, TN, to Kerrville, TX, which includes her driver’s license change, health insurance transition, her name change, etc., etc. It has been quite exhausting and are all the reasons why I’ve been absent of late on WordPress. Woof, breathe Dwain.
You know, if there is one thing I’ve learned in my life, it is the fact of just how enormously expensive it is to live in the USA, and just as expensive (if not more) to die in the USA. There are always unexpected turns and twists when a loved one or immediate family member passes. Period. Always. It seems unavoidable, and yet my Mom had her Last Will & Testament done in 1995, a Durable Power of Attorney (me), Medical Power of Attorney (me again), and other legal financial matters already documented and executed/applied. Imagine what it would’ve been like for me if she hadn’t done any of those things beforehand!
That said, I did want to mention a few things about the unspeakable things going on in our country and Minneapolis, Minnesota, and that will likely continue given this administration’s track record and M.O. of never backing down, never admitting mistakes and bad policy, and their sheer inhumane and indecent behavior by our Commander-in-Chief (initials DJT) and his cult sycophants and ass-kissers such as Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, and everyone else brainwashed by Trump-Gestapo ideology against perceived opponents (enemies?). Retributions and punishment seems to be the only recourse DJT has against those who disagree with him and all his childish whims he invents!

A Whole Lotta Flaky Flip-Flopping & Diverting
After the murders of protestors Renée Nicole Good, January 7, 2026, and protestor Alex Jeffrey Pretti, January 24, 2026, both in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents fatally shot multiple times Good and Pretti respectively (that’s overkill to the hilt) , as both were demonstrating no lethal or imminent threat to those agents, president Donald J. Trump and his appointed directors Kristi Noem and Gregory Bovino as well as Homeland Security Advisor (HSA), Stephen Miller and many other Trump-MAGA federal cult followers and MAGA media personalities prematurely described the murders against two legal U.S. citizens as ‘necessary and warranted.’ Yet, the reality was that the entire nation watched cell phone videos from multiple viewpoints of both incidents and seeing everything completely unequivocally different and contradictory to the Trump Administration’s back-peddling rhetoric and blatant lies to Americans. It quickly became one of the most despicable, disgraceful showing of Trump’s second term to-date. And over the following days Trump and his ass-kissing sycophants made it much worse on themselves by continually lying and diverting from the facts of both incidents.
In one interview with reporters Trump called Alex Pretti “stupid” for bringing a gun to a protest. This was from Jan. 27, 2026 outside the White House:
Yes, actually stupid on his part. But the President went even further by incriminating himself and being a bonified hypocrite as well as insulted gun-rights activists and Second Amendment rights he supposedly supports. And worse still he contradicted himself regarding what (his) protestors (or insurrectionists) did January 6, 2021, at the Capitol building:
According to Reuters and all the exhaustive video evidence of the Jan. 6th attack on Capitol Police Officers, Congress members and their assistants, incited by President Dumb-Rump and his radical MAGA supporters, many guns and weapons were present by the insurrectionists (protestors). By the way, the federal government under dictator Trump have removed many of the below links of the evidence supporting this article:
WEAPONS PRESENT
Firearms, tasers and knives were some of the types of weapons used and carried on or around Capitol grounds by rioters, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the District of Columbia, which published the status of prosecutions, related to the Capitol attack as of Jan. 3, 2025 on its website.
For example, police found a loaded handgun on Christopher Alberts, who was dressed in body armor and carried a gas mask, Reuters reported.
A corresponding indictment for Alberts on the “Capitol Breach Cases,” page of the USAO-DC website states that he had carried a semi-automatic handgun on Capitol grounds.
Reuters also reported that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration had suspended an agent, Mark Ibrahim, who was off duty but carrying his service weapon outside the Capitol during the attack, according to his lawyer.
A criminal complaint, for Ibrahim includes as evidence a photograph that allegedly shows him near the steps of the Senate and displaying his DEA firearm and badge (page 11).
A search for the word “firearms” on the Capitol Breach Cases page with the list of defendants returns five results, including for Alberts and Ibrahim, while the word “weapon” returns 79 results (one case could include multiple defendants).
Rioters also used “makeshift weapons” including destroyed office furniture, fencing and stolen riot shields, according to the USAO-DC page on the status of prosecutions related to the attack.
One such indictment alleged that two defendants, Isaac Westbury and Aaron James, used and carried a law enforcement shield during the attack. Another indictment, for defendant Shane Jenkins alleged he used multiple weapons, including a tomahawk axe, a flag pole, a desk drawer and “stick-like objects” during the Capitol attack.
During the 2022 congressional hearings on the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, Cassidy Hutchinson, a top aide to Trump’s chief of staff at the time, Mark Meadows, also contradicted the claim that rioters were not armed.
Hutchinson testified that both Meadows and Trump knew about people who had attended Trump’s rally at the Ellipse and later marched to the Capitol armed with AR-15 rifles, handguns, brass knuckles and batons, Reuters reported.

Furthermore, it is indeed a crime to destroy or damage federal property according to the U.S. Department of Justice, Article Code 18, paragraph 1666, Section 1361 which essentially reads:
[Protection of] “any property” of the United States or an agency or department thereof, or any property being manufactured or constructed for the United States or an agency or department thereof, from willful depredation or attempted depredation. “Depredation” has been characterized as the act of plundering, robbing, pillaging or laying waste. United States v. Jenkins, 554 F.2d 783, 786 (6th Cir. 1977); cf. Deal v. United States, 274 U.S. 277, 283 (1927) (“depredation” defined in context of postal statute). This section prohibits actual physical damage or destruction of both real and personal property.”
By the way, this federal law absolutely includes the U.S. Capitol building and its property, not to mention the lives of the Capitol Police protecting it! I mean, DUH people!
President Trump called the violent events that day by his cult supporters as “A Day of Love” and “wonderful people.” Why has he never condemned those “protestors,” as they are always called by MAGA, stupid for bringing a gun/weapon to the protest? Why? And why did he pardon and release all of them? Why?
There is no other way that day’s events reads or interprets, period. It is a hypocritical double-standard Trump-MAGA cultist. Period. No debate.
And the diverting that Trump, MAGA, and all his federally appointed directors have always done: attack the actual victims, attack their character, attack their families, and attack their perceived political viewpoints whether it is justified or not… is indecent and wreaks of Mafia-style tactics and rhetoric. On the contrary, most of us law-abiding sane, reasonable American citizens know we are by far and away a much greater nation with diverse viewpoints, diverse opinions and arguments, and diverse cultures and populations for the simple fact that our Core Founding Fathers said so: All men (and women and children) are equal, have rights and liberties, especially if they are born here.
It is easy to conclude from these last several days in Minneapolis, Minnesota, that 1) either Trump and his ass-kissing sycophants do not know the difference between Whack-a-Mole, diverting justified criticism by incessantly moving the goal-posts in a ridiculous jig/dance, and using hypocritical double-standards… and their own anal rectums—because the Baby Orange Orangutan (Trump) has pushed their heads so far up their colons—that they are incapable of recognizing facts and reality, or 2) they are so audacious in appearing “right” that they intentionally ignore the obvious facts and rewrite a contradictory new narrative as quickly as possible. Or perhaps it is both #1 and #2. I will call it the way I see it and not mince any words…
Bottom-line, Trump and all his administration are a repugnant sack of feces; they are pathological liars. They are destroying this country both domestically and around the globe with our allies.
Nevertheless America, if the writing on the wall isn’t in bright enough neon-lights for you sane, reasonable, decent Americans right now and in the coming months and remaining years of President Trump’s second term debacle, then I seriously doubt anything else imbecilic and un-American, un-democratic Trump and his MAGA cult followers do will ever dissuade you from your sheer insanity and childish gullibility. If the latter is the case, then all of you belong in an asylum with real lunatics.
Live Well – Love Much – Laugh Often – Learn Always – Don’t Be Stupid Like Trump!
