Capitalism Exposed
There is a new book out that I want very much to read. It’s an anatomy of capitalism: The Insatiable Machine: How Capitalism Conquered the World, by Trevor Jackson. Capitalism plainly dominates the world’s economic and social life. “An economy predicated on infinite accumulation, mass consumption, and fossil-fueled industrialization is not reconcilable with a finite planet.” Continue reading “Capitalism Exposed”
The Deepest Irony
Some think the Iran war is Trump’s “excursion” to distract from his involvement with Epstein. Maybe so, but his absurd conduct of the war makes you wonder. You’ll recall that in both his presidential campaigns Trump positioned himself as the outsider who would drain the elitist swamp. Instead, his administration “stands as the ultimate monument to elite impunity.” The proof is all over the Epstein files. Continue reading “The Deepest Irony”
How the White House Sees Iran
Here is Sidney Blumenthal on Trump’s infantile obsession with war as a game: “The Trump White House is the first in history to define a war’s purpose as achieving the ecstatic sensation of playing a simulated war video game.” Continue reading “How the White House Sees Iran”
Trump’s in Way Over His Head
But nobody is about to tell the Emperor that he has no clothes. The capper came yesterday when it was revealed that Putin & Co. had been providing Iran with intelligence to help Iran strike US warships, aircraft and other US assets. And the administration said that made no difference! Continue reading “Trump’s in Way Over His Head”
It’s All Going to Be about Epstein
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”
Finally It’s a Book
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.

Mind-Boggling Grift and Graft
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).
The King Is Dead
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”
Three Clowns Best Forgotten
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”
The Con Game in Trump 1.0
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.
