Russell Razzaque lives in the UK. We collaborated on a political thriller that will be released on August 23. Daughter Megan designed the cover.
His videos are spectacular and concern this corrupt administration in all its cruel and inhumane grossness. Here’s the link to his Youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/@russrazz

The written version is at the top.
The question I ask daily is fairly simple on the surface. But I suspect the answer may be complex.
How is it that anyone who voted for trump still supports him? Are they completely deaf to the news online and off? Do they applaud the cruelty and blatant inhumanity of this administration? Cancel cancer research? Build more places like Alligator Alcatraz? Dismantle the Dept. of Education? Cancel funding for school lunches? Obliterate NOAH at the beginning of hurricane season? Send congress home early for their summer vacation so they don’t have to vote on releasing the Epstein files?
I think it’s telling that Kristi Noem usually wears a prominent necklace with a cross hanging from it. Or that Tulsi Gabbard wears crucifix earrings. Is this to assure the public that they are honest women working for a god? Is that god’s name trump?
Why do any of you still support trump? And if you’re part of his diehard MAGA base, why the obsession with the epstein files? Is it because you want to know what kinky and perverted democrats are in it? Like, you know, Hillary Clinton & her alleged pizza parlor? Or hey, maybe O’Bama?
Well, how about if your god trump is in the file as a playmate of pedophile epstein? What then? In addition to the cruelty and inhumanity to this administration, are you going to give your okay and continue to support him anyway?
I wish his diehard supporters could answer this. Or, at the very least, recognize that their souls are broken,
I’m not a politician or a journalist or a spy. I’m just an ordinary, self-employed citizen who pays attention to what happens politically because it impacts me, my family, friends, the people I love. And if there’s a message in this, it’s simple.
A decade ago when trump came down that garish gold staircase with Melania, I didn’t know much about him. I’d never watched The Apprentice. Never read The Art of the Deal. The only facts I had about him were that he was a New York zillionaire married to a pretty immigrant who never said much, and that he’d been close friends with pervert and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. But when I saw him on that staircase and knew it was the prelude to his announcement that he would be running for president, my body revolted. I nearly puked.
And I started paying closer attention. His Florida home, after all, is just 15 miles to the east of us on the beach of Palm Beach. JFK also had a home in Palm Beach and I’d driven past it a number of times in all my years in South Florida. Since Mar a Lago is on A-1-A – the road along the beach – I’d driven past it, too, an historical spot because it had belonged to Marjorie Marriweather post.
From that moment when I watched him & Melania descend on that staircase, my visceral reaction and feelings about trump have deepened. I can’t stand seeing his orange face, hearing his usually nonsensical, boastful voice. Just his visual presence on a TV screen revolts me. Some people say that trump has charisma. I don’t see it, never have. He’s a pathological liar, selfish grifter, & narcissist who believes he’s handsome and brilliant, all gag worthy. He’s every bit a cult leader, just like Jim Jones was, and I suppose if he told his faithful base to drink Kool-Aid laced with poison they would do it. And he wouldn’t be held accountable because he’d given the order as president.
The way Carl Jung described Hitler certainly fits trump. Jung saw Hitler as a vessel for the unspoken desires, fears, and frustrations present within the collective psyche of the German people. In the same way, trump is a product of the very darkest aspects of the collective American psyche, that part that hungers for the dominance of white males, that refuses to recognize cruelty when it’s staring them in the collective face.
The people with whom he has surrounded himself are reflections of the ugly darkness – Noem, who bragged about shooting her dog; Gov DeSantis who is so proud of the travesty he approved called Alligator Alcatraz; Vance who believes women should stay home and have more babies; the monstrosity in charge of border control. You get the idea. Then there’s ICE, the most grotesque manifestation of this darkness.
Even if this is trump’s last stint as president, something has been permanently broken in the soul of this country.

These days, it’s challenging to keep up with the unfolding horror show of this administration. & when I’ve tried, I just end up depressed. So recently, I focus on writing, my comfort zone, and remind myself to stay focused in the moment.
At the dog park where we take Nigel every afternoon, that now, in the moment, means relentless humidity, temps in the 90s, and a battle with mosquitos. BUT. No hurricanes & because it’s summer, the traffic around here is much lighter. Most of the time when I leave the neighborhood, the road in both directions is empty of cars. During the season, traffic in both directions consists of a steady stream of cars. And the dog park is empty except a small group of us who find the best spot in the shade, where’s there’s sometimes a breeze.
Nigel chases frisbees and balls at a leisurely pace, Abby and Orla play, & occasionally other panting dogs show up for a drink of water from the communal bowl we keep filled.
Recently, I learned that the county/state is going to rename part of Southern Boulevard that leads, eventually, to AIA along the beach and Mar a Lago. Yes, they’re going to rename it after trump – a convicted felon, grifter, pathological liar, narcissist etc etc etc. I’ll continue to call it Southern Boulevard just as I continue to call the gulf off Florida’s western coast the Gulf of Mexico.
Recently, Florida representative Maxwell Frost described his “sanitized tour” of the internment camp in the Everglades and I realized we no longer live in the U.S.
So on nights like this, at the end of a long, hot day, I anticipate a future where the republican party either grows a spine or ceases to exist and we get to visit Megan in Washington state and enter her world with the spectacular whales.
And we find a new protest where we can carry signs and exercise our first amendment rights.
Several times a year, Mercury – the planet that rules communication – turns retrograde, when it appears to be moving backward relative to earth. The next one starts on July 17th PT and July 18th in the Eastern time zone. It ends on August 11. In other words, this one lasts over three weeks.
During retros, communication tends to go haywire. It’s best not to sign any contracts, don’t move, make travel plans and don’t make long distance trips. Don’t have surgery either and follow the rule of the 3 Rs: revise, review, reconsider.
Since Mercury rules both Geminis & Virgos, they may feel these periods quite strongly. Find out where Leo falls in your chart. That will be the area most impacted.

The book with the cardinals on the front has gone out of print. The one with the hummingbirds is the reissue, available on Amazon, $5.99. This synchronicity was sent by a close friend who asked to remain anonymous.

At the end of October 2024, I was reading the MacGregor’s book: Secrets of Spirit Communication, that Trish had gifted my partner and I in 2018. It should be noted that the cover image of the book includes two cardinals. In one of the chapters the narrative describes how readers can ask for a sign to help them on their journey, and to make decisions.
I chose to read the book because I was in the middle of a period of personal acute turmoil. My partner of 13 plus years and I were in the early stages of separating and I was unsure of what was going to happen in my life. It was a feeling of distress—full of grief and fear, and a literal feeling in my body that I was falling. I questioned whether I should keep trying to make the relationship work, transition to a friendship, or let go completely. I was unable to grasp what was causing all the confusion that was occurring and how rapidly things were falling apart.
So I decided to ask for a sign. I didn’t ask for anything else, just a sign because that’s what the book was suggesting. Within a couple of days, or it could have been the very next day, I was sitting in the living room reading and I heard a crashing bang noise in the front of the house. I opened the glass front door and saw a young robin lying on the front step with its neck broken and gasping for air. I put the injured bird in a towel and left it in the grass. The next day I checked and it was dead. My partner disposed of it in the garbage. I didn’t mention anything to him about what I was thinking at that moment—that this may have been the sign I had requested. And if it was, then life was going to radically change for both of us.
I had just cycled through another birthdate to my life. At 68 I had never experienced this type of bird-flying-into-glass-death event. The dead bird woke me up to a new feeling of finality—the sense that the relationship might be dead.
A week or so later, after my partner had already moved out, I decided to try again to ask for a sign—just to reassure my soul that the dead robin was the sign meant for me. I asked for another sign before falling asleep. The next day I had an appointment at the local university, in the oral history department. I parked my car at the library and walked several blocks to the building. When I reached out to open the door, I looked down and there in front of the glass door was a dead bird–a yellow-throated warbler. The sight of it freaked me out and I was shaking internally as I climbed the stairs to reach the office for my meeting.
These two dead birds delivered the signs I needed to transition into a life without my partner. I’m forever indebted to those beings for “telling” me the truth.
Florida’s governor Desantis has shown who he really is with his newest gig – a detention center for supposedly illegal immigrants out in the Florida Everglades. This whole thing is deeply cruel and inhumane and has echoes of Drachua. You know, one of more than 44,000 concentration camps in Nazi Germany.
Built in 1933 , it existed until 1945. It was Hitler’s longest running concentration camp and the place where he sent his enemies of the state -i.e., his political enemies – as well as murderers, and other criminals, many of them Jews who hadn’t committed any crime except that they were Jews. More than 200,000 people were incarcerated at Dachua and scholars estimate that 40,000 of them died. Yes, there was a gas chamber and also a medical experiment area.
Trump apparently loves the idea and is seeking other sites where such concentration camps can be built.
