Women have been marching against the Presidency of Trump all over the world. France gave us Lady Liberty. Trump took our Nation’s Post Office away, and he and his privileged children are taking profits from it. I suggest this Washington Post Office be given to the Patriotic Women’s Movement so they can establish a Woman’s United Nations. Post Offices across this Great Land can be used as Health and Freedom centers.
Donald Trump just attacked the Press, and Crowd Size, at CIA headquarters. His press guy just held his first conference and attacked the Press – and Crowd Size! How many forums does this megalomania need to declare War on Women, and everyone that did not vote for him? We the People pay taxes for these podiums. His people went after the Park Services. Their Hotel may go against the Constitution. Let us concentrate on Trump Castle. Let’s see it as America’s Bastille. Let’s go for the Post Offices on Lincoln’s birthday.
The Glass Ceiling lies in our Past – and Future! The Fake Tea Party went RETRO and marked their territory. They made Trump! No woman could vote when the founding FATHERS established the Post Office so they could mail newspapers across America.

Donald Trump’s company is pitching foreign diplomats on his D.C. hotel as a place to book rooms and hold meetings, the kind of marketing that would hardly raise eyebrows at any other luxury accommodation in the nation’s capital. But when the owner is about to become president, such entreaties eventually could run afoul of a clause in the U.S. Constitution that bars the president from accepting gifts from foreign leaders.
Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution includes an “emoluments clause.” The dictionary defines ’emolument’ as a salary, fee or profit from one’s office or employment. The rule bars any person holding an office of the United States from accepting “any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State” without approval from Congress.
Constitutional and government ethics experts say Trump’s hotel business raises myriad questions about where to draw the line, and the emoluments clause could become an issue the day he enters office.
Richard Painter, a University of Minnesota law professor who served as chief ethics counsel for President George W. Bush, said in an interview with the web site ThinkProgress that business from official dignitaries “looks like a gift” and “had better stop by January 20.”

The Congress shall have Power To…establish Post Offices and post Roads….Article I, Section 8, Clause 7
Teacher’s Companion Lesson (PDF)
Under the Articles of Confederation, Congress possessed the power to establish and regulate post offices. The Framers easily transferred the power into the Constitution and gave Congress the additional authority to establish postal roads. At the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin suggested that Congress should also have the “power to provide for cutting canals where deemed necessary,” and James Madison sought to enlarge the power “to grant charters of incorporation where the interest of the U.S. might require & the legislative provisions of individual States may be incompetent.” However, the Founders turned aside these extensions on the ground that such powers were already assumed in the power to regulate trade.
Following the adoption of the Constitution, the Act of September 22, 1789 (1 Stat. 70), established (at first temporarily) a post office and created the Office of the Postmaster General. By that time, seventy-five post offices and over 2000 miles of post roads already existed. What was originally thought to be a rather simple and benign power soon turned controversial; legislatures disagreed over whether this power merely enabled Congress to direct where post offices should be located and on what roads mail should be carried, or whether it authorized Congress to construct and maintain roads and post offices within the states. Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe doubted whether the clause granted Congress the power to construct roads, whereas many in Congress asserted that it did have such power. In fact, most congressional enactments merely designated post roads, but in 1833, Justice Joseph Story declared in his Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States that the words “to establish” encompass a power to create roads as well as to designate them. Story maintained, however, that once built, a post road is subject to the laws of the state. In 1845, in the case of Searight v. Stokes, Chief Justice Roger B. Taney held that mail carriages are immune to state road taxes on the Cumberland Road, but, over the dissent of Justice Peter V. Daniel, he specifically avoided the question of the power of Congress to construct post roads.
Today I left for the Post Office to mail some presents, and the American Flag that was given to me after I paid for Hollis William’s funeral. Hollis was a homeless Veteran that I adopted after his family could not be found. I finally located his sisters who had not seen their brother in thirty five years. They were six and seven when their brother disappeared after he got out of the service. I bought a brand new store-bought box to send Hollis home to his family for Christmas. Inside are photographs, and the Stars and Stripes. I took a picture while I was waiting in line, making sure I get Mr. H’s town in.
There was a crowd outside protesting the closure of the Post Office, seeing there was a long line inside, I only briefly spoke to them. I asked the guy in from of me to watch my boxes while I ran out to snap a picture. I was told folks were being arrested right now, and I could be arrested to. All I had to do was go to the loading docks. I could see my boxes inside. Should I? Then I saw Hollis shaking his head, he knowing I have a nack to get myself on T.V.
So, I went and got back in line, like a good boy. Forty minutes later, I am saluting Hollis as the clerk takes H’s box and throws it in the canvas bin.
“Farewell my friend! Bon Voyage, my son!”
Rushing outside, I whip my camera out and – here they come – fresh out of jail. I am getting the shot of a lifetime, these arrestees standing together holding up a clenched fist! Unfortunately, I didn’t hit the record button properly! I missed my interview with Peggy, who was dressed like Mrs. Samaclaus. I told Peggy about my homeless friend being kicked out of the EMX station while sitting there listening to the World Series, and asked of she would hold a pic of Hollis I made copies of for Elizabeth and Rossetta. Above is that shot that says it all. Hollis fought for the United States Government and was harassed for being homeless. Peggy got arrested for wanting to keep the Post Office open, if not just for someone like me, who wants to send a Soldier home, along with the Stars and Stripes he fought under.
God save the Post Office!
Here is the letter I sent my Congressman, Peter Defazio, and Mayor, Kitty Piercy.
