 (Links To Merch Below) We made a meme last week (the Army one) and it went viral. Thousands of people replied "Mine Too!" Then people requested "Merch" for all three branches of the US Military in WWII. As everyone on the comment thread noted, America defeated Fascism in World War II when brave Americans put their lives on the line to stop Benito Mussolini's Italy, Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany, and Hideki Tojo’s Japan! As we all know, we were attacked at Pearl Harbor first. We made the original meme in response to Trump hosting an ‘ANTIFA Roundtable’ at the White House. The so-called "Roundtable" was embarrassing. ANTIFA stands for "Anti-Fascist." Trump and the cabinet members in attendance are full-on delusional. They're trying to demonize and crush people who disagree with Trump's Fascist Authoritarian policies. The American people are figuring it out in large numbers that we are now living under Fascism, and millions of us see it. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) described the upcoming “No Kings” events on Oct. 18th as “a hate-America rally,” comprised of “the Antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists.” Trump and the Republicans have labeled all who protest as members of "ANTIFA" and "terrorists." Trump signed a dangerous "Executive Order" essentially criminalizing all opposition. It's been correctly observed thousands of times now, this is classic Authoritarian behavior. We created the merch for each branch of the military. By request, we added "Grandfather" to the mix. All six designs are available in Apparel (Men and Women's Shirts, Hoodies, & Sweatshirts), Shorts, Hats, Stickers, Phone Cases, Mugs, Wall Art, Pillows, Totes, Tapestries, Pins, and Magnets! The links to each design are just below. When you get to the landing pages scroll down to view all the various products like stickers, magnets, etc. Wear and display the new merch with pride! Here are the links (below): My Dad Was ANTIFA, US Army My Dad Was ANTIFA, US Navy My Dad Was ANTIFA, US Army Air Force My Grandfather Was ANTIFA, US Army My Grandfather Was ANTIFA, US Navy My Grandfather Was ANTIFA, US Army Air Force  One has to wonder where this all ends. We are literally watching America slip into insanity. Anyone watching closely recognizes the frog is boiled already. Trump's political speech to US military leadership was beyond the pale. There are 100 other situations on the front burner with Trump. Congress is controlled by Republicans. They do nothing. The Supreme Court is controlled by Trump appointments. They do nothing. US judges are speaking up. They wrote a letter yesterday. The full text is below. (Statement by President Trump at Cabinet Meeting, Aug 26, 2025)  James Comey case jeopardizes Americans' free speech rights, retired judges warn. A group of retired judges said Trump "continues to corruptly abuse the power of his office" by directing the Justice Department to target "his critics and his perceived political enemies."
Former Judges’ Statement on the James Comey Prosecution, September 30, 2025 Here's the full text of the judge's statement: The rights and liberties of Americans are protected by the Constitution and the Rule of Law. Those rights and liberties of every American are in grave danger today, as President Donald Trump continues to corruptly abuse the power of his office by directing the United States Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to target his critics and his perceived political enemies for investigation and criminal prosecution. His every threat and every pretextual investigation and prosecution further corrupts America’s democracy and Rule of Law. In the United States of America, the Constitution forbids President Trump from ordering the unfounded prosecution of his perceived political adversaries and his critics. While the Constitution does not prevent President Trump from firing federal prosecutors, no prosecutor should ever be fired for refusing to bring baseless charges against President Trump’s political adversaries and critics. Yet that is exactly what Donald Trump has done. He has fired his own prosecutors because they refused to pursue criminal charges against Americans for whom he harbors personal animus and then he has immediately installed handpicked replacements who have pursued the investigations or indictments that their predecessors declined to bring, despite reportedly having been told that there was insufficient evidence to bring charges. As a consequence of President Trump’s actions over the past nine months that he has been in the presidency, no American is safe from criminal prosecution, regardless of whether they have violated the law and regardless of their political or ideological views. For the first time in American history, the bedrock First Amendment right of American citizens to disagree with their president and their government and to express their views and opinions on any matter they wish — including their president — is under unprecedented attack by the President of the United States. All Americans have an obligation as citizens of this great country to speak out against this unprecedented attack on our freedom of speech and to demand that Donald Trump’s attacks on our right to speak freely without fear of being persecuted and prosecuted by our government must stop now.
