TRUMP AND THE TRAIL OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION
It might be more appropriate to call it the “Trail of Tears” but that moniker described the destruction of the five civilized tribes by Andrew Jackson in the late 1820’s and their removal to Oklahoma. It is ironic that Trump’s hero was Jackson, whose imperious presidency is now the subject of revisionist historians. In a…
BETWEEN THE STANCHIONS AND OTHER ITEMS
In testimony yesterday, Andrew Clyde (R- GA.) defended his previous statements that the January 6th assault on the Capitol was not any different from an ordinary tourist tour. The primary assumption for his defense was that the rioters remained within the roped stanchions in the capitol hallway. A Nano-second photo of the three-hour attack showed…
NANCY PELOSI
For most of her life Nancy Pelosi has been more of a centrist Democrat but respectful of the left side of the party. As far as it is recorded, she has never preferred a republican president to a democratic one. In 2021 however, she listened to Louie Gohmert speak (R Ariz.) about adjusting the gravitational…
TRUMP AND THE DEMORALIZATION OF AMERICA
Fortunately, a group of twenty-some medical professionals came together and published a book assessing the personality of Donald Trump. Most of the assessment is not new to those who follow American Politics. One of the professionals, a Dr. Reiss observed the following aspects of Trumps behavior. Trumps rhetoric is extreme and cruel. His childish personal…
JOE M
The mention of Manchin elicits anger and frustration from Democrats for his recalcitrance regarding the voting rights bill, HR 1 and the elimination of the filibuster. While the Country’s political process is rapidly being subverted by Trumpers, Joe continues the argument for bipartisanship in the Senate. His explanation for this choice centered on the idea…
AMERICA IS AWAKENING TO THE PROBLEM
The Trump move to totally control the electoral process is proceeding with lightning speed. It reminds one of vertical integration by industrial companies. In order to verticlize, a company must control the process of manufacturing its product from origin to completion. Trump’s efforts are well orchestrated and merit real concern from non-Trumpers. At this point,…
THE PENDULUM IS SWINGING
SNIPPETT: POWER AND CONTROL ARE SUBJECTIVE TERMS, BUT ONE CERTAIN THING IS THAT THEY ARE NEVER STATIC. IT IS ALWAYS MORE OR LESS SWINGING LIKE THE PENDULUM ON A CLOCK. Today’s blog is not a critique of Republican or Democratic policy or philosophy. It is about the state of power and control between authoritarianism and…
KING DONALD
A subscriber responded to the May 13 blog about Megalomania with a request as to a solution to the situation. My thoughts immediately turned to the passive approach, which at this point no one has suggested. Congress needs to pass a bill allowing for the appointment of a one- time king of the USA. Donald…
MEGALOMANIA
SNIPPETT: REPUBLICANS ARE A SPIRITUAL TRAGEDY LIVING IN A WASTELAND OF DENIAL. – FW Ms. Cheney has just been relieved of her official duties in the House of Representatives. One more nail in the coffin of the former principals of the Republican Party. One step closer to removing all who disagree with Trump. One wonders…
Mitch
Recently Mitch McConnell commented that the $1,400 payment to those in need under the recent Covid rescue bill was deterring the recipients from going back to work. I can imagine that for most, the funds went for payment of utilities, food, and credit card bills. Companies that hire entry-level workers are making the same claim…
