A Joint Address to Congress–What is it? Usually, ‘not formal but formal. ‘Not urgent but important. Sometimes, it addresses a critical political crisis (April 2, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson’s (main) remark(s) (Joint Address to Congress): “Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim to all whom it may concern that a state of war exists between the United States and the Imperial German Government.”

WHAT WILL PRESIDENT TRUMP SAY IN ADDRESS TO CONGRESS? Research suggests that humans often enjoy the anticipation of an upcoming event more than the actual experience itself (*Neuroheuristics: Anticipation Effect*). Topical Ideas: “The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)–A law that allows the public to request records from federal agencies. It’s often called the law that keeps citizens informed about their government.”

President (Donald John Trump) is guilty of an appalling abuse of the public trust. What he did was not “perfect”— No, it was a flagrant assault on our electoral rights, our national security interests, and our fundamental values. Corrupting an election to keep oneself in office is perhaps the most abusive and destructive violation of one’s oath of office that I can imagine.

“Within 36 hours, five people died: one was shot by the Capitol Police, another died of a drug overdose, and three died of natural causes, including a police officer who died of natural causes a day after being assaulted by rioters. Many people were injured, including 174 police officers.”

Our thoughts and prayers are not only with those who lost their lives on that day but also with President Donald Trump, his administration, and supporters.



DONALD TRUMP – PERSON OF THE YEAR (2024): BUSINESSMAN, POLITICIAN

“The idea of the imperial Presidency is not new, but he’s taking it further than anyone”, says Presidential Historian, Julian Zelizer of Princeton University. “He doesn’t care about the kind of restraints that still guided even Richard Nixon. None of that matters to him. So the potential is for an extraordinarily aggressive use of Presidential power.” (Eric Cortellessa, 12/2024, Time)

PETER THIEL (SUPER PAC DONOR 2024) ACCUSED OF ENCOURAGING KIDS TO SKIP COLLEGE AND SECRETLY FUNDING LAWSUITS

Peter Thiel (Entrepreneur). Besides encouraging kids to skip college, Forbes revealed that Peter Thiel was secretly funding lawsuits in an attempt to destroy Gawker Media (Forbes, May 2016). In 2017, Thiel hired Vice President, JD Vance (e.g. Global Investment Firm). Later on, Thiel donated $15 million to Vance’s 2022 Ohio Senatorial Campaign.

COLLEGE CAN SIGNIFICANTLY HELP TO BUILD ‘MORAL CHARACTER

“College can significantly contribute to forming one’s moral character and values by exposing her/him to diverse perspectives, critical thinking skills, ethical dilemmas presented in coursework, and interactions with people from different backgrounds, which can help them develop a deeper understanding of right and wrong and solidify personal values. Peter Thiel is considered “wrong” by many when he “advises” kids to skip college because while there are certainly cases where someone can succeed without a degree, for most people, college provides valuable skills, knowledge, and networks that are crucial for career success and personal development, making it a generally beneficial path for most individuals.”

MASS DEPORTATION THREATS: U.S. — A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS

Not all immigrants are created equal, though all deserve equal opportunity. In the Americas, we are “all” immigrants because the American Continent was “settled” by *Native Americans* (*The peoples of the Asian Continent who crossed the Beringia Corridor*). The prehistoric archaeological record indicates that North America was “settled” by the *Clovis People* — That’s, Native Americans.

Clovis People Spread to Central and South America, then Vanished | HHMI

“Archeologists have amassed considerable evidence of a population of humans who lived in North America beginning more than 13,000 years ago. Researchers dubbed this the Clovis Culture because of the distinctive spear points and other stone tools first found near Clovis, New Mexico, in the 1920s.” (hhmi.org)
