The President desperately needs our help to push this Pandemic behind us in some acceptable time window. He just can’t do it alone. There is one recent disaster operations model he can follow to reduce the growing strain on his own re-election campaign, especially after today’s March Jobs Report, which isn’t going to fix itself.… Continue reading Trump & Delay is Death (April 3, 2020)

Trump & Remember Katrina 2005 (April 3, 2020)
At some point, words begin to fail. One cannot take it all in visually or intellectually, or emotionally. All you can do is point.
Trump’s Corona: LAFL Race to the Top (April 2, 2020)
Here in the Southeast we are used to a variety of hard fought intersectional contests, usually athletic in nature. Native and transplants alike are justly proud of our outstanding college and prep sports teams. We believe with some justification that the SEC (our athletic pride and joy) is the Best in the Nation. As for… Continue reading Trump’s Corona: LAFL Race to the Top (April 2, 2020)
Trump & America’s Praise (April 1, 2020)
The Perfect Gift for the Very Stable Genius who already has everything, in praise of his outstandingly brilliant and uncontroverted wartime performance to keep our Nation Safe from that nasty little flu-like bug that no-one possibly could have predicted would be such a party pooper. Mild ocean breezes to sooth the humiliation of Captaining the… Continue reading Trump & America’s Praise (April 1, 2020)
Trump’s Corona: Confederacy of Dunces (April 1, 2020)
One of today’s quick little mashups to leaven the day’s drumroll of Stupid. One can’t help being aware that in happier times, such a display might be dismissed as a tasteless April Fool’s Prank. A trap set for the unwary. No screenwriter, no matter how gloriously twisted, could hope to compete with the real-life disturbances… Continue reading Trump’s Corona: Confederacy of Dunces (April 1, 2020)
Trump & America’s Simple Plan (March 31, 2020)
America needs practical and reliable advice to navigate the viral fury coming on. Too much of our trouble is self-inflicted by ignorant and stubborn men in authority. Here is one good solution as part of a national relief package. See the footprint traces of crimson red American Carnage he has facilitated day by day in… Continue reading Trump & America’s Simple Plan (March 31, 2020)
Trump’s Corona: Louisiana Tapping the Brakes? (March 30, 2020)& Hardy 1930 Another Fine Mess
We live in hope, all of us. Some states took the risks more seriously than others, earlier than others. Trump.45 blew it off until the last minute. He squandered whatever time delay was gained from initial restriction of travel from China in late January. His voluntary 15-day guidelines were issued on March 16. He spent… Continue reading Trump’s Corona: Louisiana Tapping the Brakes? (March 30, 2020)& Hardy 1930 Another Fine Mess
Trump’s Corona: Dark Underbelly of Testing (March 29, 2020)
Sad to say, we no longer have to wait weeks or months to accumulate data intelligence on this ever swiftly moving pandemic. The data accumulates like a blizzard, hour upon hour. Daily updates are insufficient. The best data reporters have been forced, and have been able to make updated numbers available around the clock, most… Continue reading Trump’s Corona: Dark Underbelly of Testing (March 29, 2020)
Trump’s Corona: Louisiana By the Numbers (March 29, 2020)
It is tiring and disheartening to watch the COVID-19 numbers of illness and deaths spin ever higher and too often faster and faster. It is worse when the CIC is out to lunch and spinning ignorant fairy tales to no good public purpose. Yet here we are. We have already commented that Louisiana’s Governor, following… Continue reading Trump’s Corona: Louisiana By the Numbers (March 29, 2020)
Trump & Doggerel Du Jour (March 28, 2020)
Another Splendidly Stupid Idea You’re Floating. Might have been a little help if you’d tried it January 15, and secured Massive Surveillance Testing to monitor it. But where? Washington State, New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles? After the Fact Fill In Guarantees Failure. Public Health Moves are Time Sensitive. They Don’t Obey Hunches; Even from… Continue reading Trump & Doggerel Du Jour (March 28, 2020)
