Every four years for the past 250 years American voters gather together to choose and ratify two applicants for the most exclusive membership club in the world, the US Presidents Club. We never select a single individual. Each time, following the Wisdom of our Founders in 1788, we vote for two national constitutional officers, a… Continue reading Trump 24: Exclusive Presidents Club (September 7, 2024)

Trump 24: Honorable Military Service (August 27, 2024)
This year we have three men nominated as part of the Democratic and Republican quadrennial national Presidential tickets: Walz (Blue VP), Trump (Red President), and Vance (Red VP). Two days after a Memorial to the final 13 Americans who died at the end of the Twenty-Year American War in Afghanistan, it is perhaps appropriate to… Continue reading Trump 24: Honorable Military Service (August 27, 2024)
Trump 24: Trump Can’t Add (August 25, 2024)
There are too many to count examples of Trump’s numerical dyslexia, some silly and some deadly, but one involving the 2020-2021 end of the US War in Afghanistan is relevant again after his recent Foreign Policy effort in Asheboro, NC this week. Almost 2,500 American lost their lives in the Afghanistan War in the… Continue reading Trump 24: Trump Can’t Add (August 25, 2024)
Trump & Big Equipment (April 9, 2020)
Trump is obsessed with Size. He likes to compare. Let’s compare. Enough pussyfooting around. Trump’s obdurate ignorance will cost many more American lives to come. He already has left South Korea so far behind you can’t even see them as a speck in the Death Race Rear View. As for COVID-19 testing rates in other… Continue reading Trump & Big Equipment (April 9, 2020)
Trump’s Corona: Louisiana By the Numbers (April 8, 2020)
This is a two-day post with the basic charts and graphs. We have seen a continuing storm of bad and worse news in the United States. Here in Louisiana we were hotter earlier than most other places, right behind New York, New Jersey, and Michigan. That is now changing for the better. Of course, we… Continue reading Trump’s Corona: Louisiana By the Numbers (April 8, 2020)
Trump’s Fantasy Electoral Coattails (February 6, 2020)
Introduction In the wake of the first Presidential impeachment in U.S. history where a Senator of the President’s own party voted to convict and remove him, Trump.45 is on a predictable tear for all the World to see. The object of his internal rage and bluffoonery is one Mitt Romney, one of Utah’s two current… Continue reading Trump’s Fantasy Electoral Coattails (February 6, 2020)

Trump Flash Quickie: Rex Tillerson’s First Hill to Climb (February 10, 2017)
Here is the fifth appearance of a newish Trump.45 species of information transfer, a hint of his gracious MAGA restoration effort. Imagine the sound of a flashbulb popping on a heavy 40’s style news photog’s camera wielded by a Joe Pesci-type character, revealing in an instant the seamy side of politics, life, love, social gossip,… Continue reading Trump Flash Quickie: Rex Tillerson’s First Hill to Climb (February 10, 2017)
Trump & Health Care: Government by Magic 8 Ball (January 23, 2017)
From the news: On President Trump’s first day in office he took action against the Affordable Care Act, or ObamaCare, as promised. He signed an executive order to “minimize the economic burden of the Affordable Care Act pending repeal.” The two-page order did not repeal the law, but it could weaken it. There are three… Continue reading Trump & Health Care: Government by Magic 8 Ball (January 23, 2017)
Trump’s Bucket List: All Your Dreams Can Come True* (January 21, 2017)
Like many Americans, I find myself this afternoon completely Thanksgiving-level sated after the orgy of lightly attended (better views for TV cameras) Trumpian celebrations on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. It is entirely fitting that though our own Trump.45 declared earlier this week that Monday January 23, 2017 would be Day One, and that he would… Continue reading Trump’s Bucket List: All Your Dreams Can Come True* (January 21, 2017)
