Being omnipotent has its challenges.

January 20, 2026 - exactly 14 months ago - Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States. Life would never be the same - not just for Americans - but for the world - leading everyone down the road to chaos.
Since that time, every day has been a drama or diversion created by Trump. His goal - as anyone can plainly see - is to run the country according to his whims - ignoring the constitution while playing out his programmed role as a would-be king with omnipotent powers.
What the world sees is a deranged man wanting to be dictator - guided by his emotions and personal agendas. It's always been about quid pro quo - money and power. According to Google - Trump's net worth is about $6.5 billion as of March 2026 - up roughly $1.4 billion in the past year alone - (that we know of).
The Epstein Files - they haunt Trump by association and promises made to many rich and powerful men mentioned therein who paid him to protect them from information hidden for decades. The Epstein Files seem to be a guiding factor for Trump - doing everything in his power to block the release of 'all' the files especially those portraying him as a pedophile. He will also go down in history as the only president to have been convicted of rape.
Trump and Tariffs - Tariffs are taxes on the people. They are not the way Trump portrays them to people who don't understand what they are about and believe Trump can fix the economy. His moods and bipolar nature - when countries do not capitulate - has changed the nature of tariffs to suit his whims - alienating countries around the world. Yes, the world often sees him as a deranged sociopath.
Trump's second term began with DOGE which dismantled many essential federal services and jobs for Americans in what Trump and Elon Musk considered a way to cut excess spending all the while enriching billionaires many of whom had supported and contributed to Trump's reelection.
Immigration and ICE - Trump significantly expanded and reshaped how ICE operates shifting from focusing mainly on serious criminals to a much wider group of undocumented immigrants which led to corruption, violence, and death within the system. It reminded many of the years Hitler rose to power when the Gestapo arrested and killed those he saw as enemies.
Overseas we look at Venezuela, Cuba, and the current war in Iran. Trump wields his power like a superhero come to save these countries and depose of their current regimes after which they will be eternally grateful to him and give him anything he wants. His goal - money and power and the quest for a Nobel Peace Prize - other than the one he 'stole' from Maria Machado. He totally ignored the fact that a Nobel Prize cannot be transferred or shared. Machado gave him the physical medal (symbolic gesture) - but the official prize still belongs only to her.
Climate change - Trump never acknowledged the serious reality of what's going on - because he is simply not program to understand that. Like many Americans, he believes climate change and natural disasters are part of the cycles of the planet - and will stop short of total destruction. They are wrong. History speaks to that.
Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill - cut over $1 trillion in federal health spending further leaving millions of people uninsured - along with major changes to Medicaid, ACA (Obamacare), and Medicare. RFK Jr. is the worst thing that has happened to American health care ... ever. You know who he is ... The man who proudly said that he snorted cocaine off of a toilet seat, has a dead worm in his head, and more. We all know he helped Trump come into office when he dropped out of the presidential race and told his voters to support Trump - quid pro quo.
UFO (UAP) dissemination of information - just as with the Epstein Files - Trump has said he will release the files. All anyone will ever see is more redacted information not the truth. He actually said the files were classified meaning - he is aware of them as were his predecessors. Knowing the truth doesn't always provide answers. It often opens the door to more questions.
Resistance - Democrats and others are pushing back in the usual ways. The loss of Congress in November frightens Trump - so he will continue to do whatever he wants no matter who is in power. In the bigger picture, it will take a miracle to undo the damage he has created. There simply isn't that much time left in the simulation.
Transportation - The current government shut down is affecting airline travel, which affects everything in and out of the country. Combine that with surging gas prices and Americans are in big trouble as Spring begins today and travel plans are created for the months ahead. Also of note - Mercury Retrograde - transportation and communication - ends today.
Fearful Republicans are mostly standing with Trump although many are retiring early or voting against him. Cracks in the Looking Glass.
Recently, I have heard people interviewed on the news who had supported Trump and have come to realize who he is and what he's about. To quote one angry lady from Queens, NY - interviewed while pumping gas, "I supported him in three elections. I was stupid!"
Trump today is aging very quickly, both physically and mentally. He loses focus, often falls asleep, sometimes babbles, and continues to lie explaining truth through his emotional lens or by telling people what they want to hear using his lilting voice. As he approaches 80 - Trump becomes more senile with obvious physical issues - which characterized Biden in his final years in office - not fit to run the country.

New Moon 28° Pisces
The New Moon in Pisces arrives like a quiet tide, pulling awareness inward and softening the edges of reality.
In astrology, a New Moon marks beginnings - but in Pisces, those beginnings are less about action and more about feeling, intuition, and surrender.
Ruled by Neptune, Pisces blurs the line between what is real and what is imagined. It invites you to drift into the spaces between logic - dreams, memories, synchronicities, and the subtle whispers of the subconscious. This is a moment to pause, reflect, and listen rather than push forward.
Emotions may feel heightened, even oceanic. You might find yourself revisiting the past, sensing energies around you more deeply, or craving solitude and stillness.
Creativity flows more easily now - through writing, music, or quiet contemplation - while clarity may feel just out of reach. That's part of the design.
Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, carrying the wisdom of all that came before.
This New Moon is not just a beginning - it's also an ending. A release. A dissolving of what no longer serves as you prepare, consciously or not, for a new cycle ahead.
There's a gentle reminder here: not everything needs to be figured out. Some things are meant to be felt, trusted, and allowed to unfold.
If you set intentions under this New Moon, let them come from the heart rather than the mind. Keep them fluid. Let them breathe because in Pisces, the answers don't arrive in straight lines - they come like waves.

Hopefully this year creates needed change in the Iranian regime because so far the current war is a disaster with uncertain consequences. Oil flowing from Iranian refineries spreads across the globe - physically and metaphorically - impacting economies, displacing lives, deepening divisions, and creating environmental damage that may never be repaired.
Spring (Vernal) Equinox (Northern Hemisphere)
Happy Birthday to the Crystalinks readers born in Aries.
Aries is a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars.
Spring 2026 arrives not as a gentle awakening, but as a season unfolding against a backdrop of global unease. Traditionally, spring symbolizes renewal, rebirth, and the quiet promise that no matter how harsh the winter, life finds a way forward. This year, however, that promise feels layered with complexity - tinged by a world that seems to be navigating a kind of collective chaos.
Across the political landscape, divisions continue to deepen, with rhetoric often louder than resolution. Nations wrestle with identity, power, and shifting alliances, creating an atmosphere where stability feels increasingly fragile. The idea of unity - once a guiding principle - now competes with polarization, leaving many to wonder what the next chapter will bring.
At the same time, the climate tells its own urgent story. From unseasonal temperature swings to intensifying storms and droughts, the natural world reflects an imbalance that can no longer be ignored.
Spring, once predictable in its rhythms, now arrives unevenly - with half of the country freezing with temps in the 30's and the rest setting heat records with temps over 100 degrees for days.
War, in its many forms, continues to cast a long shadow. Beyond the headlines are human lives disrupted, communities displaced, and futures put on hold. The ripple effects extend far beyond borders, influencing global stability, economies, and the collective psyche of a world that seems perpetually on edge.
Economically, uncertainty lingers. Markets fluctuate, the cost of living rises, and many find themselves recalibrating what security and success look like in a rapidly changing environment. The structures people once relied on feel less certain, contributing to a broader sense that the ground beneath us is shifting.
And yet, within this chaos, spring still insists on its presence as days grow longer and the perks of wam weather seem just ahead for those who have suffered through record cold this winter.
It's a bipolar swing in a bipolar physical reality tagging many with emotional issues.
End times - now and forever - leave humanity with a shift in consciousness, as well as seasons. Expect the unexpected.

March Madness - Wikipedia
Every spring, the energy of college basketball reaches a fever pitch with March Madness-a tournament where anything feels possible and underdogs can become legends overnight.
Hosted by the NCAA, March Madness brings together 68 teams from across the country to compete in a single-elimination showdown.
What makes it so captivating isn't just the talent on the court - it's the unpredictability and definitely - as with all sports - Luck.
A top-seeded powerhouse can fall to a scrappy lower seed in what fans call a "Cinderella story," turning unknown players into household names.
Part of the magic lies in the brackets. Millions of fans-die-hard and casual alike-fill them out, trying to predict the impossible. Offices, families, and friends suddenly become rivals, all chasing the elusive perfect bracket.
Over the years, iconic programs like Duke Blue Devils, Kentucky Wildcats, and North Carolina Tar Heels have built legacies in the tournament, but March Madness always leaves room for new heroes to emerge.
Beyond the excitement, the tournament can be life-changing. For some student-athletes, March Madness becomes a national stage - an opportunity to showcase their talent in front of scouts and millions of viewers. A standout performance can open doors to a future in the NBA, turning college dreams into professional careers.
More than just a sporting event, March Madness is a shared experience - a few weeks where buzzer-beaters, heartbreaks, and triumphs bring people together. It's a reminder that in sports, as in life, the outcome isn't always predictable - which is often exactly what makes it exciting.
Students can come away from the games and return to the basketball courts in hopes that one day they will have a 'shot' at success.
Good luck to the students and players.
