Hush Little Government, Don't Say A Word

In 2024 America chose Donald trump as president with expectations of him honoring the presidency and looking out for the welfare of its citizens. When the citizens have a problem or difficulty, the president is the one who they expect to calm worries, solve problems, and never stop trying to make life easier and better for every individual. Trump CAUSES fears instead of alleviating them. He is not a comforter, as in a fatherly way, to look to for assurance in uncertain times. We don't have the security of an innocent baby always knowing we are being given the best care.

Just think, if you could remember when you were a little baby and you were rocked and sung to sleep, how nice that would be. A mother or father tenderly singing a lullaby is a visual we all sigh at. The lullaby is calming the baby, telling them not to worry or cry. The lyrics suggests the singer has many solutions for what the babe may be going through. If one way/thing doesn't work - another way/thing will be taken or used. It says 'momma' is goinng to take care of everything (at least that's what I sung to my babies).

Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass

And if that looking glass gets broke,
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat

And if that billy goat won't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull

And if that cart and bull turn over,
Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.

"Hush, Little Baby" is an American traditional lullaby, likely written in the Southern United States, though its specific author and exact date of origin are unknown. The song's simple structure has allowed for many variations, with one of the earliest recorded versions being collected by folklorist Cecil Sharp in Virginia and North Carolina in 1918. The lyrics are characterized by a parent making a series of promises of gifts to a child in exchange for their silence. Trump makes promises, but his promises are not for those who are CRYING needing SOLUTIONS, SECURITY or COMFORT.

The GOP is singing LIE after lie with promise after promise if the American people will just leave their worries and cares to them. HUSH! Just hush and do not cry or PROTEST. On October 18, 2025, there were millions of Americans marching protesting how Donald Trump is ignoring the will of the people and using the president's office as if he is a king able to make up laws and policies at will. Which he has done the nine months he has been in office. He does the OPPOSITE of a caring parent for the everyday person.

He does sing a SWEET lullaby for those he DOES hold near and dear - rich people. If they will HUSH and do his bidding they can receive wonderful gifts such as pardons, government contracts, positions in the government, and other perks to make them smile and calm their fears. For them it is, "Daddy's going to buy you a diamond ring." The average American onlooker is told to HUSH, there's nothing corrupt happening here if a complaint is lodged.

For the rest of us, we feel orphaned, left abandoned and not cared for. Our lullaby is one of neglect and abuse. For US there is just HUSH. He wants the everyday person to be quiet. Not only is he demanding our silence, he is silencing the government so the American people will not be aware of what is happening around them and to them. He also tries to silence the news and journalists. HUSH!

With millions willing to CRY out about injustices, what is the Trump administration to do? Trump's solution is to get rid of the people who are reporting about what is making the people cry. Demonize credible journalist and replace their truth with opinion news reporters who will report only favorable and approved news from the White House and beyond. Now, he wants to LIMIT the presses access to information. HUSH!

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump backed his defense secretary’s new rules. “I think he finds the press to be very disruptive in terms of world peace,” Trump said. “The press is very dishonest.” HUSH!

The Trump administration wants the public to believe they are protecting people from FALSE information. In reality they are keeping people in the DARK about their UNCONSTITUTIONAL activity. They plan to FIRE reporters who do not report what they tell them to report. That is why they are demonizing protesters for their dissent. Trump only wants hateful angry compliant followers who are so angry until they are BLIND. Issues are no longer the object of their anger, but people are. To get them to bare their teeth, just say a few words like Democrat, healthcare, immigrant, DEI, Pro-Life. 

There are certain things we expect from people who are supposed to look out for our welfare. We expect them to be competent in caregiving. When a newborn is brought home with two first time parents they may be inexperienced, but there is no doubt they want the best for their child. In the same way, we expect our president and government to be competent and to be able to care for the needs of ALL Americans. It takes a certain type of CHARACTER to be caring, compassionate, and responsible. It takes a GOOD moral person.

President Donald Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he was "not maybe heaven-bound". The comment came in response to a question about whether a recent ceasefire deal he brokered in Gaza would help him get into heaven, a reference to an earlier quip he made regarding a potential Ukraine peace agreement. Many Conservatives gave Trump a pass saying don't judge him by his character but by his deeds, which are favorable towards them and for everyone else to HUSH! 

There isn't a light soothing lullaby for those who a worried about their next meal or how to pay for medicine, grocery, or rent. I continually ask, "How could this have happened?" I also have to ask, "How is this continuing?" As Trump silences the cries, gives promises to the rich, and CENSORS the media, the separation of church and state blurs. But religion remains the biggest "HUSHER" of them all. Stronger than a lullaby.

Christians have gone as far to equate him with King David and the Apostle Paul from the Bible. But for Christians who KNOW their Bible, there is a big difference and they know the Bible is being misused. MAGA is singing the song, "Only Republicans believes in God." Notice everything is being taken AWAY from the ones crying and NOTHING is given. Bare with me for this next section.

Kind David began his life as a practicinng Jew. He knew God and served God his entire life. David mad a big mistake of murder and lust, so God took his first born son as punishment. David went on to continue to worship God and that's why he is remembered. Paul persecuted Christians. He was not a Jew or Christian from birth. God visited him, changed his ways and Paul ministered widely and is the biggest contributer of the New Testament.

Both men hand selected by God for a specific mission. Their life and mouth testified they were servants of God. What is Trump declaring about God and his hand selected mission for God? King David's sin and punishment hurt him. Paul was never hurt by his prior actions but he was 100% sold out for Christ once changed. What is Trump doing with his huge support from Chhristians, beyond  stiring up chaos and strife among the WORLD. His declaration as a practicinng Christian or servant of God is missing in his Godly work, which doesn't look or sound Christian. But Evangelicals say HUSH!

Then there is the Pharoah point used by Christians. Pharoah was also selected by God for a mission without the Pharoah being aware. Pharoah and Judas were selected to go against God in cruel ways and hardness of heart wrapped in selfishness. God does raise up those selected to show His power and stregnth. Those supporting these chosen ones are fooled and even blinded by God so His will can be done and demonstrated. And God's will is found in the Scriptures. His end goal for humanity explained. If a person's action does not line up with his word, not taken out of context, you will see the heart of God. Make no doubt, we are not experiencing God in America. There is no 'turn the other cheek going on' nor Matthew 5:40 (NIV): "And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well". Luke 6:29 (NIV): "If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them". 

Why is America being sung the lullaby of HUSH!

There is no need for secrecy if you are taking care of worries and fears. There should be no hiding from those you're helping. right? We can't be lulled to SLEEP or DECENSITIZED with repeated lies from the Trump administration. We are going to CRY and cry LOUD. We won't go silently into the night. 

Donald Trump, hear the words of the Lord, The Bible verse in Matthew 25:40, which states, "The King will reply to them, 'Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did it to me'". This verse, from the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats, teaches that caring for others who are vulnerable or in need—whether they are hungry, thirsty, strangers, naked, sick, or in prison—is an act of love and service toward Jesus Christ himself. Does this resemble Trump and his followers?

If you are a parent then you know that the intended OUTCOME of a lullaby is to get the baby to go to SLEEP. Trump and the Evangelicals want us to go to sleep and to stay asleep to their actions. Notice how upset they are about people being WOKE. The people ARE the government. Laws and policies are supposed to reflect the will of the people. The people are being given a song and dance. The song for slumber and the dancing is on our graves from this assault on our country and Constitution as the Trump administration, GOP and the Evangelicals say HUSH!

Men Of Honor In Uniform

RIP Victor Wills of the Village People who identified/defined MASCULINITY in one photo.

If you have been listening to the news lately, here in my home state, Mississippi, you've been witness to all of the murdering that is happining in the capitol city, Jackson. It is scary, horrible, and a crisis all in one.

Some people are taking advantage of this crime to label minorities as violent criminals when mass shooters have one day of reporting and vanish. The thought is not to talk about THEM so as not to make shooters GLORIFIED. We believe this reasoning even though these shooters are usually White. But many believe white crimes are not reported on as much. They can be back at home for all the public knows. But minorities crimes are treated like the crime of the century. MURDER is a crime. But, how this crime is being FRAMED is the problem. Minorities it seems, are the ONLY criminals and must be taken care of.

There are four major factors contributing to violence, which can be fixed, attributing to this INCREASE in crime in AMERICA, not just MISSISSIPPI. Poverty is a major player in crime. Poor people are frustrated people, angry people, who BLOW form the constant pressure of finincial insecurity. That is a reason there is Black on Black crime in the POOREST neighborhods. Black men have no hope of providing for their family. 

Many CAN'T MARRY because they can't get a job in a racist society that has written off the entire race. They SNAP at the least thing while TRYINNG to have fun in a world that don't want them. Who are the poorest people in AMERICA? Minorities are the poorest and then blamed for being poor. I have began to say it's PTSD from being Black in America. We have the same symptoms as people who have seen combat just trying to live each day in racism.

If you are a person who believes being BLACK in America isn't an everyday job, on YOUR next application for ANYTHING, check the African American box and wait for a callback. Do it for a month, and watch your temperature rise. The higher prices go, the MORE violence there will be.

There is RACISM on a massive scale from the president all the way down to neighbors. The term "REVERSE RACISM" is being floated around by Republicans. White people are suffering because of their skin color. As a majority white administration cut what America was FORCED to do, HIRE at least ONE Black person in a business, guess who couldn't and WOULDN'T? Trump got rid of that law. NO ONE HAS TO HIRE ONE BLACK PERSON ANYMORE. Black History can't be taught. The Black vote meaningfulness taken by gerymandering the vote, and on and on it goes. OUR president even posted on social media our FIRST Black president as an ape with laughter and support from the Right.

 

Fatherless home has contributed to young men in our country joining hate groups such as the Proud Boys to street gangs. They are suffering from NOT having a good male role model. Manhood is slowly dying with Trump and Hegseth pulling the trigger. This has been a generation of LOST boys who are UNABLE to become men, so they become FERAL. From basement hate from a computer to drive by shootings, there is no MAN helping these young men to become men. Now Donald Trump is the ROLE MODEL FOR MANHOOD! God help us all.

Finally, our government INSISTS on letting these people have access to GUNS. Mothers are BEGGING for these weapons of mass destruction to be kept off the streets. Our government says they are needed for hunting. So, government, what is used for all these murders, can we at LEAST keep those weapons off the street? Violence is being supported by the ones saying it is out of hand. Make it make sense!

It has been months since many of the fears that prompted me to originally write this post, have now begun to rear it's ugly head. My military musings, have started to bear the fruits of my fears. I don't mean paranoia type fear nor anxiety ridden fear, it's more of a, "I knew it, but sad to see it's true, kind of fear." I took a chance and put my thoughts to paper (computer). How have your feelings about our military changed since the Iranian War began? Let's get caught up on our Department of War.

President Donald Trump on Thursday called for Michigan U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin and other Democratic lawmakers to be arrested and possibly executed over their remarks in a recent video urging members of the U.S. military and intelligence community to refuse unspecified illegal orders.

Trump is showing all signs of using the military for unlawful actions. He has demonstrated his lack of concern for American citizens and the Constitution. He has bombed boats, arrested American citizens, fired people unwilling to be loyal to him, accepted monetay gifts from adversarial countries, and plans ICE raids on churches. HIS lawlessness gas no bounds. His treatment of our military also shows he only cares about WHAT they can do instead of respecting WHO they are.

The Democratic lawmakers are just reading thw writing on the wall. But I wonder, how do OUR men and women feel about this looming possibility of receiving and being expected to carry out unlawful military orders?

What is it like for a person to decide to put on a uniform and serve their country? You are in luck. I made the decision to serve my country in 1986. I wore the uniform of the brave Army. I had a second oppotunity to serve my country in ghe First Gulf War which begun August, 7, 1990. The Gulf War (2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991), was a war waged by coalition forces from 35 nations led by the United States against Iraq in response to Iraq's invasion and annexation of Kuwait. From the first day I wore my uniform, until I was honorably discharged, my duty to my country grew with pride through the years.

We were told we represented America and the Army when we wore our our military uniforms and not to disrespect the uniform. Commanders would come and go, but that was fine, because we pledged to protect our country, not any one person.

All eyes were on the meeting summoning all of the generals by Pete Hegseth. An unprecedented meeting of over 800 US generals and admirals was held on September 30, 2025, at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia. The gathering was called by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with President Donald Trump also addressing the senior military leaders.

 America held its breath in anxiety as to what the duo would say to the highest ranking and caliber of soldier. By their past behavior, the public knew whatever the meeting was about, it was going to be a shocking optical display. The president and Hegseth didn't dissappoint scolding the brains of our military for beinng out of shape, fat.

My hearty sank at the humiliation of a room full of ALPHA MALES. They sat stoicly and took their bitter dose of kool-aid. But did they swallow?

In a surprising development, Adm. Alvin Holsey will step down as head of U.S. Southern Command, a position he’d held for less than a year. The New York Times reported Thursday that Holsey had voiced concerns about the U.S. military’s mission in Central and South America and the recent strikes on alleged drug boats off the Venezuelan coast. Adm. Alvin Holsey, happens to be a Black man and there have been esculation in attacks on boats in Venezuela and Trump giving Venezuela billions of dollars. Holsey's departure came amid tensions with Defense Secretary Hegseth, source said. Admiral is one of two Black four-star officers leading a US combatant command. Holsey's exit follows abrupt firings of other top military officers.

The meeting called by Hegseth of the generals was to let them know who is in charge and who they take their marching orders from. And they were to follow those orders without question. I wondered how did those who wear the uniform, worn it for years, feel about being told their alligiance no longer belongs to a country, but to a man, Donald Trump, and his ever changing vengeful power grab.

When joining the Army, soldiers take the Oath of Enlistment, which includes pledging to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic," to "bear true faith and allegiance to the same," and to "obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice". This oath is a commitment to the U.S. Constitution, not an individual leader. 

I don't know if our military has ever faced a MAN trying to have the service of the military for personal use. The military has been trained to PROTECT our country from attacks on our way of living, our constitution. The is an example in history when the military was used for genocide. Hitler used the arm of his military force to carry out the estermination of Jews for his personal reasons. No longer protecting the CITIZENS of the country but becoming the attacker. Many did not want to caryy out the orders, but they did. Many would be tried for war crimes when found.

I would have loved to have heard the discussion about the meeting by the generals. I know their egos were bruised by the public humiliation aired over and over on the news loop. I was proud of them sitting stone-faced through the scoldinng. But I wonder what was going through their minds.

I have always been proud of American's serving their country. Now, those in uniform have to decide to serve COUNTRY or MAN. We will have to stay tuned to see what our brave, honorable people in service choose.

No reaseon was given for the Sailor's resignation. It might have just been a DEI firinng in disguise. Donald Trump is getting rid of brown and black people in any position of significant power. Will White men join him or help the rest of ordinary people resist tyranical power? Take away a man's maculinity and he will serve you. Was Trump and Hegseth successful in their plant to bend the Department of War? Are they the captain now?

Tamara Stevens, a former navy cryptological technician, said she found Hegseth’s discussion of “lethality” more alarming than anything else, given the context that Trump provided later with comments about using deployments to American cities as a training ground.

“Basically, he’s saying that we’re no better than Hamas because people are joining because they want to break things and they want to kill people,” she said. “I mean, for anyone that’s been in the military, he’s not qualified to be secretary of defense. He’s barely qualified to be a host on Fox News. 

Gen. Chris Donahue, the commanding general of U.S. Army Europe and Africa, submitted his resignation on June 24, 2026, amid a broader overhaul of Pentagon leadership by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Many military officials anonymously expressed concern and anger. Some reportedly saw the meeting as a political rally and a waste of military spending, while others found the changes demeaning and a step backward for military readiness.

Hegseth’s "resign" comment came after he reportedly fired other top officers in the weeks leading up to the meeting. Some military leaders are reportedly considering their options for peaceful resistance, including legal action or resignation, while weighing the risks of undermining civilian control.

A YouGov poll found that Americans were about twice as likely to disapprove than approve of the meeting. The gathering was also widely seen as a "bad use of military spending". The poll also showed a strong partisan divide, with Democrats and Independents largely critical of the meeting, while Republicans were more likely to see it as a positive use of resources. The ACLU highlighted the meeting as the latest example of Hegseth pushing women out of the military. 

The event and the response it generated underscored deep ideological divisions over the direction of the military. It highlighted concerns about the politicization of the military and the relationship between senior leadership and the Trump administration. For me, the damage is done. You made Alpha men into Beta men if I understand the language of the Red Pill community correctly. I saw leaders of the military spoken to like children. Now, will they behave like children
