OP/ED: Thank you Judges! No thanks to this administration.

Posted on October 14, 2026 by Diane Colcord

 

By Diane Colcord
Thank you to all the judiciary from district to federal to appeal judges! The majority are living up to the oaths they took and are trying to stop the outlandish actions of the current administration.  In spite of actual death threats, they hold the bad actors to account, to the rule of law, time and again.
While American citizens need help with soaring food prices, our tax dollars are used for a ballroom for the elite.
While Americans need help with childcare, our tax dollars are being used to put 24 gold leaf on horse statues.
While Americans need help with gas and diesel prices, our tax dollars are being spent on an arch to overpower the design to honor our veterans and their final resting place.
While Americans are desperate for lower health care, our president and his family are making billions with cryptocurrency.
While Americans are preparing to cast their votes, this administration is trying to limit voters’ ability  to get to the polls safely and securely, falsely claiming fraud and offering outright bribes to voters to vote a certain way.

The corruption of this administration is stunning, using our tax dollars as a slush fund for vanity projects, to enrich every member of this administration’s cabinet and the president and his family, making money stock trading instead of working for the average family..
No funding for fascism.
No funding for dictatorship.
No payouts for pedophiles.
NO public killings!
No wonder the administration fights so very hard to keep the Epstein files in the dark. Who knows how often and how many of the same names are tucked away in those pages.
All of this hopefully will urge you to vote blue this time. Let’s get a clean slate of politicians that actually want to help IMPROVE America and not bleed it dry.
