ON MATTERS OF DUBIOUS INTEREST
The tariff ruling by the Supreme Court made a lot of people jump up and dance. And rightly so. It’s the biggest legal defeat the President has suffered. Now we await with no pleasure the State of the Union on Tuesday which will give him an excuse for more self-serving venom, bluster and lies. But the real threat to Trump is still the Epstein files. Continue reading “It’s All Going to Be about Epstein”
My historical-political book Trumpworld Begins was finally published February 5 on Amazon KDP. I hope you can give it a review. I want your honest feedback, positive or negative. Here is the link to Amazon US. I think you can also order from Amazon Mex though the site has some errors I’m trying to correct. You can also leave your comments on Goodreads. Continue reading “Finally It’s a Book”
We learned this month that the total of Trump’s personal corruption now exceeds 4 billion dollars. This bloated sum was achieved through complicated crypto deals and contributions from United Arab Emirates, Pakistan and other favor-seekers. Much of these gains are of questionable legality. It all started more than eight years ago as seen in this piece from Trumpworld Begins (now available on Amazon).
I took to imagining what would transpire after the last rites were administered and everyone got copies (redacted, certainly) of the Epstein files that did him in. His death was not unexpected, and celebrations occurred worldwide. Read about that in Trumpworld Begins, publishing on February 5. Continue reading “The King Is Dead”
Just another reminder of the good old days. I included Harvey Weinstein because he’s so reminiscent of Jeffrey Epstein, another “glandular-driven creep.” Continue reading “Three Clowns Best Forgotten”
Many have forgotten how deranged Trump’s first term was. My new book, Trumpworld Begins, publishing February 5, aims to remind us how all the present chaos started. One of the great miscreants of Trump 1.0 was Tom Price, then head of HHS. From the book: I did a little frivolous dialogue with Tom back in 2017 just before he resigned.
They are all narcotized with power—all of Trump’s enablers. You saw that in their lying canned responses to the Minneapolis killing of an innocent woman. Trump is never going to stop his lies. When asked by the New York Times if there were any limits on his global powers, Trump said: “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.” He meant, I think, his own mortality, a typical verbal confusion for him. And of course he has no morality.
On Friday I started down the callejon (alleyway) where I live to go to the bakery three blocks away. It’s about a hundred yards to the street, then another hundred or so to the corner, then two blocks to the bakery. I only got a little way to the corner and had to turn back home. My legs were too weak to continue. Another notch in the progress of aging. Continue reading “What Happened Was. . .”
I spent Christmas alone and it was fine. Sure, I missed family and friends but we were in touch through the wonderful magic of video calls. There were no complicated arrangements, boring discussions, or effusive dinners. And no talk of politics and Trump. Living alone has its merits. Continue reading “A Different Holiday Season This Year”
It’s hard to know which one to remark on: the healthcare follies, the fraudulent recent speech, the growing number of boats sunk, the Trump-Kennedy Center, cutting loose Ukraine, the gluttonous ballroom, and of course the manhandled Epstein files. The pileup of these things is just astonishing. Continue reading “The Scandale du Jour”
First, you should know that there was not one mention of Hegseth or the boat bombings in all the New York Times headlines yesterday morning. How low have the mighty fallen. The Opinion Editor did have a two-minute video that offered nothing new. So much for “the paper of record.” Continue reading “Hegseth, Rotten to the Core”
