There is a saying, “To a carpenter with a hammer, every problem looks like a nail!” (All due respect to carpenters). That sums up Donald Trump perfectly. Every single problem or issue, real or perceived, that Trump encounters can, in his mind, only be resolved in one way – force! Now, in his second term,… Continue reading January 12, 2026

I’m not sure there has ever been a time in my life when almost every day begins with a thought along the lines of, “What the hell did Trump and his minions do now? Who have they killed? What country have they invaded? What alliance have they shattered? What freedoms have they ripped away from… Continue reading January 9, 2026

Does anyone really believe America is safer or ‘greater’ than it was when Trump took office? Is Trump really putting ‘America first’? I would argue that the only people who are truly benefitting from the hell Trump has unleashed upon America and the world are Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, oil and mining companies, companies who… Continue reading January 9, 2026

On this day… Continue reading January 6, 2026

The movie explored themes of greed, ambition, and the complexities of wealth accumulation. Unfortunately for the United States, our daily reality seems… Continue reading January 5, 2026

The operating budget for Congress is about $5 billion per year. Yes, that is ‘billion’ with a ‘B.’  One would thing that for that much money the American public would get something in return. That does not seem to be the case. Just exactly what has Congress done for the American people lately? Not much.… Continue reading January 4, 2026

Many people don’t realize that when the recent government shutdown ended, Congress was merely kicking the can down the road. The current budget only funds the government through January. At the end of this month, we will have another episode of brinksmanship because as we all know, the word ‘negotiation’ has become toxic. Congress reminds… Continue reading January 3, 2026

I am constantly astounded by the number of people who have been staunch Trump supporters and yet seem surprised when Trump turns on them or will not support them when they want something in return for this slavish loyalty to him.
