THE Truth is America & the CNMI are at the “Tipping Point” of falling into the abyss or climbing out of the abyss that has been virtually self-generated, as much of our troubles/challenges (economic & social) could have been avoided. There is now a saying on the mainland that “Trump always chickens out – TACO and now there is another that says Republicans always chicken out RACO.” Well, in the CNMI it is our “Dems” who seem to “always chicken out (DACO),” which is WHY there is virtually “no accountability” on our economy & quality of life. The Independents are also just falling in line with the Republicans without questioning anything. I’m hopeful voters will ask all candidates WHAT did I, as a citizen, get from the MACS deal, ask WHY are WE still paying for a Cannabis Commission that’s not needed, ask WHY do WE need 15 Casino Commissioners & 3 different staff which is RIDICULOUS when the state of Nevada has only “5 Parttime Commissioners & one fulltime staff,” ask WHAT are the future plans for the MPLT Funds if approved BY the People and dare to ask anything that you are truly concerned about and DEMAND an answer. But respectfully none of the old “family ties & culture deflecting talk” that has nothing to do with the execution of a real plan to improve the economy and YOUR life. Please Wake-up Dems and Voters or WE could be DOOMED!
America has crossed the Rubicon (demarcation line of laws), as the Autocracy of America has already happened and falling into the abyss, as Trump is making moves and is Not Kidding about him remaining in office come 2028. CNMI Republicans are dead set on “gambling with 3 GOP Commissions & China.” Now the question is, HOW to get out of this mess on the mainland and here, which is simple, VOTE! The quest by Trump to cheat & rig the states with Republican districts is proof of his FEAR OF the People’s Vote. The CNMI is now at a “Tipping Point” after crossing the Rubicon a long time ago. When our leaders took that “Private Jet ride in China” that led to a law creating a Chinese Casino one week later without OUR Consent they crossed the Rubicon, which is when it all started! WE were promised the WORLD by Best Sunshine who made 100 million the next day after the law was signed, but WE only got 10 million for power bills and one or two incomplete payments on OUR Community Chest Fund poli-tricking us. They sold it to IPI but now look at the mess just as the late Bishop WARNED through Ambrodamus, as the TRUTH is IMMORTAL, as critics can only try to discredit the messenger!
Ever since that Jet Plane ride in China, the CNMI had a short moment of progress that proved to be an illusion with struggling economic times ever since. WE are still pursuing China, begging everyone and taxes with TAYA (no plan) to generate New Revenues, as RACO in the CNMI when it comes to really doing the work to make new things happen. However, they are experts at destroying things & people both on the mainland and in the CNMI. They’ve taken us backwards to the point our economy is now in ICU, and they continue to try and destroy the People who raise concerns or offer ideas. They’ve been trying to stop Ambrodamus for over two decades and I’ve seen people come & go, like Mr. Steve Jang who recently offered the great idea of a “Zipline Island” with many Ziplines and even the longest Zipline in the World as part of our new Brand. But if the idea, even being great like Mr. Jang’s, doesn’t come from a Republican it’s worthless, as you can bet no elected official is contacting Zipline Investors. However, look at this EVS-TAP started by Republican Jude Hofshcnieder who hasn’t done anything since to make it happen, but WE are all jumping through his EVS-TAP hoop to who-knows-where with no guarantees like the MACS scam for only promises!!!
However, on the mainland at least “one Rock Star – Governor Gavin Newsom” is emerging to battle Trump to avoid America tipping over, as Trump’s approval rate is his base 37%. The same number seems to prevail for Republicans in the CNMI who may have between 35 & 45 % of voters in their back pocket. The main reason there is always a “third & fourth candidate for statewide elections is because it all but guarantees a Republican win from voting-malafunction (poli-trick) of name changing candidates to split & nullify votes. Virtually everyone (voters & candidates) are now aware of this poli-tricking phenomenon which is WHY there are finally real Independents running for Governor & Lt., as Independents are on the rise given the impotency of the Dems. Being a Dem myself its truly disappointing but the reality is WE the People need a Rock-Star who is not afraid & fair like Governor Newsom regardless of being a Dem or Independent or its going to be the Same-O Republicans to Nowhere! The race for Governor & the Legislature has already started and still, no formal entries from the Dems, which is frighteningly disappointing FOR the People not to have real options. Arrivals continue to plummet into the abyss, as the CNMI is at the Tipping Point of falling into the economic abyss & death, as WE are only BEGGING & BORROWING just to stay afloat —sad! They refuse to offer a “plan” because 1. They don’t know What & How 2. Ambrodamus was FIRST to ask for a Plan 3. It’s Bigotry or worse in the way of real progress denying rational & justifiable ideas like Mr. Jang’s. WE need a Star Player(s) with morals who will run plays (ideas) of others and their own plans to avert the CNMI tipping into the abyss. If voters haven’t learned the lessons on our Republicans taught in our-own recent history, WE are DOOMED to repeat the Same-O MISTAKE come 2026 -for TRUE!
One People, One Direction.
