Thomas Starr King, virtually unknown to most Americans, was one of three contemporaries of Abraham Lincoln who led a successful fight to save California for the Union.
In a chilling revelation from President Trump's recent Time magazine interview, he lashes out at Biden for his "insane decision" to allow long-range US missiles to be sent into Russia, warning that it's a "major escalation" and "a very big mistake." Call your congressman now.

How to Rebuild the USA—Promethean Action's New Book
Petition: Confirm All of Trump's Nominations
Promethean PAC is circulating a new petition calling for the U.S. Senate to confirm all of President Trump's appointments. All citizens are encouraged to sign it and circulate it in their networks. Trump won a clear mandate, winning both the electoral college and popular vote, based on his policies. Although there is controversy about some of the appointments, it is clear that Trump is in charge, and he is assembling a team of people who are loyal to his agenda. Susan Kokinda provided a summary in her Midweek Update. The petition reads:
"Donald J. Trump won a mandate from we, the American people, to bring about the fundamental changes in direction which will save our Republic and lead it to what he promises to be a new golden age.
"To do that, the intelligence, foreign policy, and military apparatus which has sponsored destructive forever wars, cultural and moral decadence, and the general policies of imperial empire must be eliminated.
"These denizens of what President Eisenhower called 'the military industrial complex' would have put Donald Trump in prison for the rest of his life if he had not won the election. The same people have eviscerated the Bill of Rights, particularly the First Amendment, in building a propaganda and censorship regime intended to enslave the People. The People, in this election, delivered a mandate to Washington’s powerful: you are to have power no more.
"We, the undersigned, state unequivocally that the Senate must confirm these 'controversial' appointments, and the rest of Trump’s appointments so that we can proceed, at warp speed, to revive this Republic. Senators standing in the way of this are rejecting the overwhelming message sent to them by the American people on November 5, 2024. Confirm them, all of them, or suffer the consequences in funding and future elections."
Trump and Elon Musk at Starship Launch: American Excellence
President Trump attended the launch of the sixth Starship rocket test flight on November 19, at the SpaceX facility in Starbase, Texas. He was invited by Elon Musk, who is part of the Trump transition team and will play a role in the new administration heading the Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE.
The test flights are generally exciting, and this one was brought to a new level with the appearance of Trump, as well as Donald Trump Jr. Senator Ted Cruise, Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson, and other members of Trump's team. It was apparent from video coverage of the event that Trump and Musk were excited about the launch. As one person commented, "it's like a school kid explaining his new science project to his dad!"
President Trump launched the Artemis Program in 2017, dedicated to establishing a permanent base on the Moon and facilitating human missions to Mars. Musk's SpaceX and Starship are playing a key role in that. The plan is to have the next manned moon landing by 2026 in a modified Starship rocket. Musk is also planning unmanned Starship launches to Mars that same year. Both of these endeavors will take place during Trump's second presidency. People are comparing the Trump/Musk collaboration with President Kennedy and Wernher von Braun during the 1960's space program. Indeed, there is a renewed excitement about the space program, and the future of mankind in general.
Promethean Action has played a huge role in that through our publications and in organizing around the ideas of scientific progress. We now have a rocket scientist and a President who are committed to making those ideas a reality!
Trump Victory Dance and Infectious Optimism
There's a new sense of optimism on the heels of the Trump victory, and people are having fun! The famous Trump victory dance is being celebrated at football games, college campuses, TV news shows, and many other locations.
When Trump and his team went to the UFC fights, one of the winners celebrated with the dance, and presented Trump his victory belt!
The dance is even a big hit in China, where a groom did the famous Trump dance at his wedding party!
Someone even had fun posting the Trump dance as part of the Starship test flight.

Bruce Director on the Tamara Scott Show: Trump's Peace Plan
Bruce Director of Promethean Action was a featured guest on The Tamara Scott Show on November 19. Scott has been following our work and has had Susan Kokinda of Promethean Action on her show previously. The day before, she watched the Monday Brief - Biden Escalates Ukraine War to Stymy Trump, and called us immediately: "I need one of you on the show!" She began her show by noting that Promethean Action has an excellent perspective on events, and she highlighted some of the recent articles on our website.
Bruce Director talked about the recent events in Russia and Ukraine, Biden's escalation, the danger of nuclear war, and Trump's peace proposals. Trump is right, Director said, when he declared that the war wouldn't have happened under his presidency. Director went through the history of policies under Obama and Bush, going back to 2014 and earlier, that brought on the crisis. There was a peace negotiation on the table in 2022, and the British and the Biden administration intervened to stop it. The American people made it clear in the election that they support Trump's policies to end the wars. Trump coming in gives us hope. The latest escalations by the Biden administration complicate Trump's ability to give us peace. That's the treasonous aspect. Others have noted that these escalations have the potential to ruin political relations between Trump and Putin. Director talked about LaRouche's history working with President Reagan on the SDI to get peace between the U.S. and the USSR. Trump understands that perspective.
Director ended by saying, "I worked hard to support Trump in the election, and I can't wait for him to take office!"
"We've Won a Crucial Battle. Now On to Win the War!"
Texas Promethean Action went to the first post-election deployment on November 15. Our organizing site was near NASA and otherwise oriented to the oil & gas industry. Most people had a positive response to Trump winning, but also understood that there is much more to be done. Many came over to get our ideas and marching orders, contributed, and signed up for further discussions.
One of our signs, "Make the Moon Great Again," attracted attention. One mother was drawn over; she hopes that her young son could one day be like Elon Musk.
However, not everyone is enamored of Elon Musk. One of the most interesting discussions was with a woman who was a critical thinker, but admittedly very pessimistic. She has seen her own children affected by the culture, such that they prefer digital devices to reading books. Like many, she has been convinced that Musk's involvement in Neurolink and AI puts him in the category of the devil. However, in dialogue with the Promethean organizers, she realized that we are committed, as was Lyndon LaRouche, to increasing the creativity of all human beings, and that love is the operant principle of the Universe. There is no computer that can take that human power over, if we advance cognitively, scientifically, as a species. She signed up with us, appreciative that we were willing to discuss her concerns.
The population is up for the next phase of the fight! Our literature, warning of the British role in the assassination threat to Trump and detailing the principles of American System economics, is crucial for their education and timely for this moment.
Mindy Pechenuk for Mayor of Oakland, CA
Mindy Pechenuk announced her campaign for mayor of Oakland in a statement released on November 19, entitled, "Six Reasons to Make Mindy Mayor - Time to Rescue Oakland from the progressives and the same old failed city officials!"
"With the Outcome of the Recall Elections of Sheng Thao, and Pamela Price no longer in doubt, last Monday, November 11, 2024, I threw my hat in the ring and issued a press release announcing my campaign for Oakland Mayor in the soon to be announced special election. Time to put the people of Oakland first!
"Today, on November 19, 2024, I am outlining six reasons why I am THE MOST QUALIFIED to fill that position. Below, I am outlining why I am head and shoulders the best pick for the job. Though others who I am sure will announce and run have 'bigger names,' and 'more money' than I do, they do not come close to having the qualifications to 'clean up the mess' that many of these candidates were directly involved in making! Why support failures with 'big names.'?
"In succeeding days and weeks, I will elaborate on each of these six points and provide all voters from the entire city of Oakland , the reasons why I am their candidate of choice. I am the number one choice for those who want to save this great city and give ALL of our children a great future. Make Oakland Safe and Productive Again."
In reason number 6, she states, "I am the only candidate who fully backed and played a leadership role in electing the President-elect of the United States, Donald J. Trump. With me as Mayor, Oakland will have a very important friend- The President of the United States."
Promethean PAC and MAGA volunteers had lots of fun at Trump victory parties over the past week.

Rebuild the USA: The Trump Presidency and Beyond
After all the years of campaigning, Americans have finally come to the agreement that we will Make America Great Again. But, how do we actually implement the intention, and with a minimum of mistakes along the way?
In this newsletter, we report on President Trump's policies and how you can help educate your fellow American citizens to support them. Our report covers energy policy resources, cabinet nominations, local political shifts, new candidates, and veteran endorsements.

Half-way through the transition process, it is beginning to dawn on people that this isn't just a shift from one Administration to the next. This is a turbulent process of leaving the Anglo-American imperial system behind and creating anew the American Republic.
House Republicans are trying to sell their spineless genuflecting before the Military Industrial Complex by claiming victories over Transgender and other diversity policies. Yet, they are codifying perpetual support for the Ukraine war while Trump seeks peace.
