My apologies to anyone of the few people who might have read yesterday’s initial post. It was a repeat of the previous day until I corrected it. Of course, if I were Donald Trump, I would simply claim that I did not make a mistake, and the two columns were completely different. That is exactly… Continue reading March 5, 2025

As the Trump conflagration continues to broaden and swallow up American democracy and institutions that most of us have known our entire lives, it is still amazing to me where most of the Democrats have disappeared to. One would think, given that every single day brings a new outrageous attack on the U.S. Constitution, more… Continue reading March 4, 2025

Watching Trump in America today is like watching a spoiled, poorly disciplined child playing with matches and cans of lighter fluid in a forest of tinder dry trees. The matches are supplied by the likes of Musk and all of Trump’s sycophants and the lighter fluid is supplied by Putin, Orban and their ilk. There… Continue reading March 3, 2025

I have never been so embarrassed to call myself an American as I am now after the, what can be called nothing less than a shit show, at the White House yesterday during the meeting between President Trump, Vice President Vance, and President Zelensky of Ukraine. It was, however, not a meeting. It was a… Continue reading March 1, 2025

There have been stories in the news recently about town hall meetings conducted by various Republicans which have been met with much vocal backlash against the policies being implemented by the Trump/Musk regime. The apparent solution to this ‘problem’ was for the Republican Party to suggest their members stop having town hall meetings and/or seed… Continue reading February 28, 2025

Yesterday, in Robert Reich’s Substack column (which I read daily) posed the question, “What is Trump trying to do?” Reich argued that Trump is trying to consolidate his power by putting die hard loyalists in every senior position in the government who will blindly carry out his orders – the law and the Constitution be… Continue reading February 26, 2025

It is no secret that Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary, is the darling of many on the far right and Donald Trump himself. In fact, the CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) has been held in Hungary the last several years. Orban assumed his current position in 2010 after his Fidesz Party won a… Continue reading February 24, 2025

It always amazes me when people support Trump and then are genuinely surprised when he stabs them in the proverbial back. When Trump had Tiger Woods at the White House recently to honor Black History Month, he claimed to have won 40% of the Black vote. Of course, the actual data does not support this… Continue reading February 22, 2025

The news media are overflowing with stories these days of Trump, and his trusty sidekick Musk, slashing funding for one government agency after another. They claim to be doing this in the name of eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse with an eye toward reducing the deficit and being able to pay for the massive tax… Continue reading February 20, 2025

I have been silent for a while now, but I have decided to start posting again. I don’t know if I will return to my almost daily schedule, but I will be posting from time to time. Call it my little act of resistance to the fascist coup going on in this country by a… Continue reading February 18, 2025
