“I wonder how many people I’ve looked at all my life and never seen.”

I want to mention the death of Virginia Giuffre, one of the initial and by far the most fearless survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking. She named Prince Andrew (who was ordered to pay her $23 million) as one of the men Epstein had trafficked her to. The people who wanted her dead took advantage of news that would overshadow the story, which they are calling a suicide.
“To be alive at all is to have scars.”
~John Steinbeck
On April 03, someone asserting to be Virginia posted a photograph of her beaten face, claiming a school bus had hit her, resulting in life-threatening kidney failure. She did not expect to survive. Witnesses said the collision was minor, with the bus travelling at a low speed and could not have caused the bruising as seen in the photo on social media, purportedly posted by Giuffre.
Parents rallied behind the bus driver, claiming “she’s lying.” They don’t know why she would do that. My opinion is that she was beaten, someone else posted the “I’ll be dead soon” photo, and she was finished off during the Popes funeral.
My children were on the school bus and Virginia Giuffre’s story doesn’t add up
This same month, “her family” announced that she had committed suicide, losing the battle against depression brought on by a lifetime of sexual abuse. She can no longer be called a survivor of Epstein’s abuse. The media do not report suicides as such immediately following a death. With a few exceptions, like Jeffrey Epstein.

GOVERNOR JB PRITZKER is no coward. “This is not a drill.”
In addition to his words that we must act now, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker announced the action he’s taking in response to Trump’s illegal deportations. He’s launching a boycott of El Salvador for assisting Trump’s cruelty, imprisoning people sent there without due process.
Including:
- A boycott on any trade with El Salvador.
- A review of state contracts to find companies with ties to El Salvador.
- A review of Illinois pension fund investments to identify any ties to El Salvador.
- Consideration of a ban on all state investments in any company with significant ties to El Salvador.

“I shall revenge myself in the cruelest way you can imagine. I shall forget it.”
The only ~John Steinbeck
We are not paying attention to the cruelty that our government is effectuating inside our country. In the dark corners of society where money is no object and power is untethered, demands to ignore judicial orders and continue deportations without due process are heeded. Two of the most shocking deportation stories involving customs enforcement officers in recent days:
- Deported the Cuban-born mother of a 1-year-old girl — separating them indefinitely —
- Deported three children ages 2, 4 and 7 who are U.S. citizens along with their Honduran-born mothers, their lawyers said Saturday.
*The 4-year-old was undergoing treatment for stage four cancer, deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors, the family’s lawyer said. Three children, from two different families, all U.S. citizens, were deported.
Moving On
This problem is Sofa King easy to fix.
We can do this the hard way, as Governor Pritzker suggests. Or we can do this the easy way: recruit eight Republican members of the U.S. Congress, four from each House, to put an end to these transgressions against humanity perpetrated by Trump and his regime. We need them to vote with Democrats.
That isn’t easy? It is considering recent polls show a vast majority of Americans now oppose Donald Trump’s policies. Those lawmakers who stay silent out of fear must resign. There is power in numbers and with swift action to remove the threat, it will end. If anything, Trump’s loyalists should dread the primaries coming next year. If we have a free and fair election, there will be few Republicans left in Congress. To those conflicted over the choice between losing their election, or surrendering democracy, voters will assist.

- We have a population dip- Trump will need soldiers, billionaires will need people willing to work for minimum wage.
- The labor shortage is exacerbated by the deportation of tax-paying workers who take jobs no one else wants… unless…
Two years ago, the governor of Arkansas, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, revoked her state’s child labor laws. This is great news for horrible parents who are financially strapped. Keep this segment of society uneducated, low wage slaves.
State Legislators, in Ohio, Iowa, thought hmm… labor we can pay less than migrant workers. Who take the jobs no one else wants. We can revoke child labor laws too. Children as young as 9 can work eight-hour days. This explains forced birth as a solution for the cheap labor shortage. Exploitation by desperate or abusive parents will grasp the opportunity.
This is also great news for corporate America, suffering a shortage of underpaid workers. Thank you, forced birth. It’s interesting that some states with the strictest abortion laws will let you put that baby to work.
A slaughterhouse cleaning company that had previously been fined for hiring minors in two Arkansas factories no longer needs to worry.
- Arkansas: Nine-year-olds can now work without parental approval. (Thank Governor Sanders)
- Ohio: Children may soon work year-round, including school nights, until 9pm.
- Iowa: Alcohol served in bars by children? Iowa says okay! 14-year-olds could soon work in industrial freezers, meat coolers. Forget the canary in the coal mine; use a child instead.
This timeline in history has the bad guys winning. We can change that.
