Some Republican sycophants… Continue reading January 23, 2026

Canadien Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos was a magnificent example of what leadership and statesmanship look like. Trump’s speech was yet another rambling, self-serving, pile of hogwash which was a complete embarrassment to the United States. America has become the laughingstock of the entire world. We might have… Continue reading January 22, 2026

Perhaps the new theme song for Congress (and the Cabinet) should be ‘Send in the Clowns” by Stephen Sondheim. The song was made famous by Glynis Johns, Frank Sinatra and, of course, Judy Collins. The Cabinet is filled with a ‘Who’s Who” of incompetent sycophants. Both the Senate and the House are clearly not functioning… Continue reading January 21, 2026

The administration also launched a covert military raid that resulted in the… Continue reading January 16, 2026

Trump keeps threatening Greenland and says that the US must control/own Greenland for ‘national security’ which is the term he uses as justification for almost every action he takes – legal or illegal. However, like most things Trump does, there is the rhetoric and then there is the real underlying reason for the action. When… Continue reading January 15, 2026

Why has Trump taken such an interest in Fed Chairman, Jerome Powell, for so long? He has berated him for years for not dramatically lowering interest rates in accordance with Trump’s wishes. The latest benchmark for the Fed rate was 3.75 percent. Trump thinks it should be more like 1.5%. The job of the Fed… Continue reading January 14, 2026

Churchill said, “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”  Trump has demonstrated often that he does not have an accurate knowledge of world or American history and all the associated lessons learned from the past.
