Coffee & Writing

by Miriam Kavanagh

I am working with a new template on WordPress and they automatically give a list of places where you can share this blog entry. I have not figured out how to take some of them off yet, especially X.

Please do not post anything I have written on X. Elon Musk has no business being in Washington, D.C. pretending he is part of Trump’s administration. He doesn’t know what he is doing and he is destroying lives. He may be good with his own company, but he is not good with the federal government and I do not support him or his endeavors.

No buisinessperson should be in the White House as commander-in-chief when they cannot uphold the Oath of Office.

I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

No one should be the commander-in-chief if they don’t know the Constitution, especially that bit about freedom of speech..

A business person who says they can run things and start to treat the federal government as a business don’t know what the federal government is. You want to fire a bunch of people at the Centers for Disease Control, good luck controlling those dieases. You want to fire a bunch of people at the Food and Drug Administration, fine, just hope you didn’t fire the guy who checks out if your Caesar salad isn’t cotaminated.

Just because you can run a company well, does not mean you have any business in the federal government. Also, in my opinion, if you’re a convicted felon, it should be illegal for you to even step in the White House, let alone have a bed there.

Amendment I of the US Constitution

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

I do understand that the people on X and Truth Social have freedom of speech and I do respect that but when groups like QAnon, the Proud Boys (the ones who led the storming the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and were then pardoned by Trump, this included murderers), and even Trump himself are allowed back on X (Twitter), it’s not a good thing.

However, Trump uses his own Truth Social instead and on March 4. 2025 wrote this:

All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Well, I’ll let you figure out how much he destroyed his Oath of Office by not defending the US Constitution.

Everyone has their right to free speech, but I’m not sure if the founding fathers ever thought speech could get so hateful.
