The Prosecution of all TREASON committed since the year 2,000. The Proponderance of Evidence is staggering and overwhelming. Vincent Bugliosi wrote the book "The Prosecution of George Bush for Murder" which outlined the entire filing and procedures for CONVICTION. Add in the intentional subprime mortgage crisis of 2008, Edward Snowden's revelations, the Steele Docier, COVID and forced ineffective vaccinations with more severe side effects, the BPoil spill coverup, the Comey Coup, and many others. The Clinton Bush Obama Biden criminal activities cannot be swept under the IRANIUM RUG anymore.
1. JESUS

2. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

This is my favorite question. There is only one answer for me. What Jesus would do is not a question. It's a consistent foundation of making all decisions.

As far as humans go, President Trump has set the example of self-sacrifice and perserverance.

Overcoming all odds to make history is the American way. President Trump has never given up, never given in, never surrendered, and always gets the task accomplished with the TEAMS of PATRIOTS HE BUILDS, of which I am proud to be part of.
Integrity, accountability, transparency, and a commitment to ethically serving the public interest.

-Integrity: Elected officials must be honest, moral, and trustworthy. They should make decisions based on ethical principles rather than for personal gain. -Selflessness: Public officials should take action solely in the public's best interest, without seeking material benefits for themselves, their families, or their friends. -Avoiding conflicts of interest: Officials must not hold financial interests that conflict with their duties. They must also avoid even the appearance of using their position for private gain. -Fairness and impartiality: Elected officials must act impartially, treating all constituents equally and making decisions based on merit. -Governance and leadership Accountability: Officials are accountable to the public for their decisions and actions. This includes taking responsibility for outcomes and submitting to appropriate scrutiny for their office. -Transparency: Openness about decisions and actions is crucial for fostering public trust. Officials should provide reasons for their decisions and only restrict information when the public interest clearly demands it. -Responsiveness: A good leader is responsive to the needs and wants of their constituents. They listen carefully and understand the concerns, ideas, and perspectives of the people they represent. -Courage: Elected officials must have the courage to make bold, necessary decisions, even when compromise is at an impass or they are difficult or unpopular, to move forwarsd towards the best solutions.

-Visionary thinking: Effective leaders have a long-term perspective and consider the potential impact of their decisions on the future generations. They are strategic thinkers who can develop a vision for the future that improves upon the present, implementing effective communication.
-Advocating for constituents: Elected representatives act as a link between the government and the people they serve. They ensure the needs, desires, and concerns of their district are addressed in the legislative process.

-Proposing and voting on laws: Officials introduce, debate, and vote on legislation that creates new laws or modifies existing ones. Adopting budgets: A crucial task for all levels of elected office is to develop and approve budgets that reflect the government's priorities and revenues.

-Levying taxes and managing funds: Officials are responsible for levying taxes and allocating public funds to finance city, state, or federal operations.
My faith, my faith in God and Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Love for mycountry. That my work will help others thrive, be happy and have real opportunities to fulllfill their dreams. Nothing makes me happier than helping people.
At 10 years old in 1981, I distinctly remember hearing over the loud speaker the President has been shot. We all sat in silence in the classroom. My parents had done their job, shielding me from the reality of the cruelty in the world. Shootings weren't a part of daily life back then that I knew of. When I got home, I recall my father watching tv and being concerned. I didnt understand why it happened. 6 years later when I was a freshman. I initially went to LOYOLA JESUIT COLLEGE PRESPATORY HIGH SCHOOL, because of raciszm i endurd there i aske dmy father to tAKE ME OUT AND MOVE ME TO PUBLIC ACHOOL In 1987 President Reagan awarded Maine East High School as one of the 142 Excellence in Education Institutions.

THEN OF COURSE 9/11 And most recently President Trump assasination attempts and Charlie Kirks assasination.

These recent ones have summond up in me the call to fight and do my poart to defend our nation from all invaderws forign and domestic.
Technically, it was working for my father thru my younger years, learning customer service and all other essential business operations. He always reminds me that he opened his first optical shop the day I was born.

My first real paycheck was as a 16 year old waiter at an Italian restaurant where I really learned something new about the world and life, growing up faster as a result of understanding people. A couple of regulars (a Jewish couple) would always be very nice to me and one day, after months of encounters, they offered me a job opportunity.

The next day, I arrived to the second floor of large office suites with 25+cubicles and people making phone calls. Each desk was topped with a huge yellow pages. For those under 30, its the paper version of all internet searches in a city. The company sold radio advertising time With PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS and produced commercials for business for their local stations across the country. Again, for those under 30, radios were essential to human progress.

It was an exciting job in 1987, speaking with people from all over the country on a touch tone phone. I used paper and pen to write deals with no headseats or computers. And I really learned how to actively listen and adapt to each businesses unique needs. I can still remember the Anti-Drug-Abuse PSA Campain, word for word. 16 years old, 1987... "THERE IS PLENTY OF TALK ABOUT DRUG ABUSE THESE DAYS, BUT SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT IT. DRUG ABUSE LEADS TO AN EMPTY LIFE. SO LETS EDUCATE OUR YOUTH ABOUT THE DANGERS OF DRUG ABUSE AND REMEMBER DRUGS AREN'T SMART! THEY ARE JUST DEADLY! THIS IMPORTANT REMINDER WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BY ... "

I worked there for over one year while attending high school at the same time. My biggest weekly paychecks zoomed to $900.00 as I got better, which is $2,500.00 per week today!! I graduated Maine East High School as the one of the most finacially succesful students ever, and a skill set to outperform most closers.
The Art of the Deal.

Because of my teenage work ethic, my father took me to New York City for an optical convention, and for the first time just my father and I walked the big streets of NYC together. Being on a business trip, we bought ties right off the street vendors' racks. While we were stopped at a book store browsing, and my father was talking about a man named Donald Trump from NYC. We found the book on the wooden shelf and he bought it for me immediately.

That day I aquired a New York City silk tie and a book that would change my life for the better, only to circle back after 40 years.
Forgivness.

The world is full of so much good. It is also fillled with bad actors.

There are alot of fake people roaming this planet, and it's hard to forgive intentionally malicious people, but ERIKA KIRK set the bar where it belongs.
The U.S. House of Representatives is uniquely designed as the legislative body closest to the American people, distinguishing itself from the Senate through its structure, responsiveness, and exclusive powers.

1. Impeaching Federal Officers. 2. Initiating Revenue Bills. 3. Electing the United States President when no Presidential Candidate receives 270 Electoral College votes, the current majority number. This is how the 2020 election would have Constitutionally Installed President Trump as President again, by following the instructions IN THE CONSTITUTION as Senator Ted CRUZ had signed Paul GOSAR's COMPLAINT on January 6th, 2021 at 1:15 pm. The 274 FBI AGENT INTENTIONAL RIOT was initiated at 12:59pm with the outer bikerack perimeter feeble security breach bu those agents, who then ripped out all orange fencing with NO TRESSPASSING signs on it, with no other GROUND POSTED SIGNS.

The COMEY COUP. Power to determine weights, standards and measurements, Power to coin Money.

Power of the Purse
It has been proven over and over again, that in today's enviroment, an honest heart and willingness to expose waste, fraud, and abuse INSIDE CONGRESS, ALL AGENCIES, all Contractors, and even political enemies your country is the MOST IMPORTANT REQUIREMENT.

Everyone has experience in politics and government if one follows all laws and policies properly. and just like me, honest people discover DISHONEST EXPERIENCED GOVERMENT OFFICIALS like Senator Bob Menedez, a New Jersey favorite for a reason. Hundreds of other obvious examples exist. Bill Clinton had tremendous experience yet had a affair with a 20 year old IN THE WHITE HOUSE ITSELF!!!

Yet another double edged sword example.
The United States must always lead in every category possible, ranging from FINANCE to MILITARY to TECHNOLOGY.

Eliminating subversive enemies entrenched into our critical systems is the priority. Defeating the CHINA RUSSIA IRAN NORTH KOREA alliance, the CRINK, will consume 20% of our time and resources over the next decade as they attempt to bankrupt the US and implement the Communist Manifesto into our CHILDREN!!! They will support terrorism against all our interests both overseas, and more importantly, here at home. And 75 million Kamala voters unwittingly support that.

Talk about a misnomered PATRIOT ACT Propaganda legalization clause...
Term Length is essentially Forced Turnover Rate regardless of JOB PERFORMANCE in CENSUS YEARS especially after STATE GERRYMANDERING and including non citizens illegally in population tabulations. A 2-year term requires constant campaigning versus 4 or 6. The BENEFIT is maximun facetime with constituents and their concerns, ESPECIALLY if one obtains all their own 2000 candidacy petition signatures each time. I actually love getting signatures and the incredible conversations I get to have with enthusiastic voters. Seeing their eyes light up in the 11th as we discuss problem solving is that spark that keeps the engine running smoothly.
Congressional Representatives have to run every two years, are constantly campaigning, and are more accountable than other government positions that have 4 or 6 year terms, with some seemingly endless, such as Pritzger in Illinois versus Whitmer in Michigan, setting aside her reported 6 BILLION DOLLAR ghost payrolling scheme and kidnap hoax, altering the 2022 outcomes. The automatic removal of corrupt politicians such as these is the HEART of TERM LIMITS POLICY in addition to its 22nd Amendment Presidential FDR Origins.

I also agree with term limits for allowing growth and opportunity for the next generations to properly participate in our Constitutional Republic as represented. However, one could also say that an honest and capable elected official we happily voted for twice is now a candidate being stricken from MY FREEDOM OF VOTE CHOICES.

  • Rank Choice Voting is not Federally Constitutional.
IL-7 Abraham Lincoln knew President Polk manufactured the Mexican War, earning his

HONEST ABE nickname leading to his Presidency.

TX-14 RON PAUL is by far the GREATEST OF ALL TIME Representive GOAT of American Citizens' best interests. Senator Rand Paul is the apple that didn't fall far from the tree.

And although I do admire longevity, 2 Michigan representatives served over 100 years together, which argues for TERM LIMITS of a decade, ironically, and the top 6 served 250+ years.

MI-5 Gerald Ford, whose difficult decision to heal the country as President was rooted in 25 years of SERVICE in the House of Representatives.
Every single constituent I have had the pleasure of speaking with has a touching story of impactful victories and defeats, unfortunate victimhood and memorable recovery attempts, and a willingness to be vulnerable in conversation. From parents having babies to those burying them, there is no shortage of tragedies in human existence followed by miracles of human endurance. In answering this question, I do not want to trigger anyone or elicit PTSD. Suffice it to say there are more stories than people.
250 years of American History proves that regardless of desire, ABSOLUTELY when not in the majority or without capability to stop policy, such as OPEN BORDERS 2021. But compromise has also been shown to be detrimental as in the BUSH IRAQ HOAX and MULTIMandated Covid Vaccines 2021.

Thoughtful Deliberations are the FOUNDING FATHERS' INSTRUCTIONS for a successful Congresses and designed to offer compromises, but INSIGHTFULLY with no requirement to offer or accept compromise. Waiting 2 years for new elections also changes compromise strategies differently between the House and Senate, for example.

Another example, DEI was implemented without compromise (like the ACA(obamacare)) and was eliminated without compromise. OVER $200 BILLION dollars WASTED in funding alone, and then add time wasted in deliberations AFTER THE FACT and it's OVER $1TRILLION WASTED by democrats and Liz Cheneys.

The country is now literally a shoving contest between 3,000 TRAITORS and their lied to 75 million boosted voters versus 78 million Constitutional Patriots who refuse mandatory vaccinations at all.
The RESPONSIBILITY to originate revenue bills is the primary tool for advancing legislative priorities DESIRED by my constituents. A well-written policy approved by the Congretional Budget Office beomes a co-sponsored proposal for sub-committee approval once scheduled for debate.

If voted to a full floor vote, one has the opportunity to create PASSAGE in the HOUSE. Being able to convince the SPEAKER of the HOUSE to agree to support the Legislation is the most important step to funding the programs the constituents demand.

The exclusive authority to introduce tax legislation, known as the "power of the purse," would be leveraged to fund specific policy goals, shape economic strategy, and influence the overall federal budget. Even better if accompanied by offsetting spending cuts.
While the U.S. House has broad investigative authority, the proper use of its powers is defined by a genuine legislative purpose and is most effective when it is bipartisan, transparent, and focused on uncovering facts. Historically, investigations have been used for BOTH noble goals like exposing government corruption AND also for partisan purposes prompting cover-ups such as in the DICK CHENEY led IRAN-CONTRA Hearings or the LIZ CHENEY led J6 FBI ComeyCOUP TREASON.
This is a great repeat question which I previously answered. Although tragedies out number warm stories, if I had a magic wand, I would create the GNC, the Good News Channel and run uplifting stories only 24/7 with Important PSAs instead of commercials.

2 memorable military stories involving enlistment. One mother, a never trumper republican, says she told her pilot loving son to never join the military, which is the LEGACY of the CLINTON, BUSH, CHENEY, OBAMA BIDEN policies while signing my OAKLAND COUNTY candidate nominating petition. An odd moment to say the least. She also called GAZA a genocide, which of course also seemed odd, but it is the chicken egg arguement circle. Judaism does predate Islam a couple thousand years, and the GENOCIDE of MIDDLE EASTERN CHRISTIANS by the MECCA to MEDINA million man march of 1500 years is well documented as the MOORS and OTTOMANS.

Deep dive history is more memorable when one understands the DEPAERTMENT of WAR is properly titled and managed, which led to my next signature from a KOREAN WAR VETERAN who gave me knuckles, not a hard time. All this witin just a few minutes.

Constituents are the most interesting people.
Building a profitable 60 page weekly newspaper from scratch in 1999 which ran for 6 years.
The US government's role in AI is multifaceted, encompassing and fostering innovation and economic competitiveness, establishing safety and ethical guidelines, investing in infrastructure, addressing national security risks, and promoting public trust through transparency and human oversight. There cannot be any corruption or malfeasence involved. The Government aims to balance private sector-led innovation with regulatory frameworks, ensuring that AI development benefits society while mitigating risks like bias and misuse.
The Executive Orders signed in March 2025 by President Trump titled "Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections" included several components.

Mandatory proof of citizenship orders directs the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) to require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship on the federal voter registration form. The President does not have the legal authority to compel this action from the independent EAC, and courts have temporarily blocked its implementation. THE VOTER ID ACT must also eliminates Rank Choice Voting as FEDERALLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL, which MICHIGAN DEMOCRATS are trying to Ballot Measure. Alaska did it... otherwise it was goodbye Senator Murkyowski in a 94K-90K loss to Kelly Tsiabaca. Mail-in ballot restrictions must bar states from counting mail-in ballots received after Election Day, even if they were postmarked in time, which is yet another opportunity to add votes. A mailbox should never be the ballot box unless you are DEPLOYED or you specifically request a single mail-in ballot because you are bed-ridden. This item is currently beyond the President's legal authority to dictate to states, so Legislation is the answer. -Voting equipment standards: It instructed the EAC to update voting system guidelines to require voter-verifiable paper ballots and prohibit barcodes or QR codes from being used to count votes. This could compel states to advance voting machine integrity. -Voter roll maintenance: The order aimed to use federal funding and authority to encourage states to more aggressively purge voter rolls and to compel states to share voter information with the federal government. -Foreign national involvement: It prohibited non-citizens from having any role in administering elections. -Legislative initiatives: The administration has also supported congressional action to formalize and legalize these Federal policies. -The SAVE Act: Supported by the Trump administration, this proposed legislation mirrors many of the executive order's provisions by requiring documentary proof of citizenship for federal elections. This could enable millions of eligible Americans who lack documents like passports or birth certificates from registering to vote to finally obtain proper documents from their County of Birth, just like I had to when I moved to Michigan. Democratic critics note it would essentially eliminate online and mail-in voter registration, which could overwhelm understaffed election offices because procrastination will become the excuse de jour. -Potential enforcement: The administration has signaled a focus on using the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate alleged election fraud(officials), voter fraud(voters), and could penalize states that do not comply with federal directives by withholding funds.

Ultimately, only FEDERAL VOTER LEGISLATION passed in Congress and signed by President TRUMP will ensure FAIR ELECTIONS' Integrity.
