New Years 2026 Dont Fear the School Yard Bully

 

As we bring in the new year, it seems most of our thoughts and reflections turn to Donald Trump and The Monroe Document, his administration's continual assault not only on his own people but also on sovereign nations, and the constant flow of uneasy rhetoric coming from the White House.

I realize, as most do, that this is hard to ignore and brings fear and anxiety to a great many people, which, in truth, is his intention. Dealing with Trump is like dealing with the schoolyard bully. Trump derives his power by antagonizing people to the point that they begin to run away in fear or simply surrender in defeat as the American administration continues to put a headlock on its own people. While challenging and creating chaos globally.

My intention, for the longest time, upon my retirement, was to begin writing books to address a very displaced and hungry nation and world. The idea was to give people of limited means, like groceries, gardening, and other cost-saving measures available to each and every one of us, but also to be a voice critical of those, especially in the corporate world, who continually apply financial pressure on those who can least afford it.

With social media becoming a cesspool of useless, conspiracy theory-filled rhetoric, people face an increasingly difficult task in defining what truth is, let alone what is real or AI-generated. This mindless propaganda is gold to Trump, as it silences what might otherwise be a far more unified front against his administration's draconian and vicious grab for power.

I'm often glad for the cold, snowy winters of the prairies, as the huge blanket of snow is so white that it reflects not only the sun's rays but also gives new life to the ground beneath it.

So, I can say with absolute certainty to each and every one of my readers and friends around the world. The global community will not allow a bully like Trump to continue, as will the greater population of American people, with midterm elections upcoming this year, Trump's firm dictatorial grip on power will begin to fall apart like a house of cards.

Until then, the best way to deal with a bully is to stand up to him, prove that no one is scared or intimidated by him, and begin to ignore him and take away his stage.

It’s time to build a world together, hand in hand, learning from each other and peacefully building a world where all are equal, and the poor and marginalized can thrive alongside each one of us.

For my family and me, we will continue to write, make videos, and celebrate life at its fullest across the internet, on Outlaw Radio 1960 on live365.com and TuneIn radio, and leave the schoolyard bully to cry in the realities surrounding him while we speak.
