WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL? The European Union has managed to coral the virus and is about to open their borders on July 1, without having to quarantine for two weeks. The EU has threatened not to allow any travelers from the United States. In a LA times article this week, Thomas Jaeger a political scientist at Cologne University said, “People are completely shocked by the way the United States has mishandled the crisis. The one nation they thought…
US VS THEM Donald Trump said they are taking down “our monuments” as if Trump is going to protect “our heritage” by dividing and by fear of the other. The monuments he was referring to represent Jim Crow repression and a distortion of history. Is this Donald Trump associating himself with losers by honoring the rebel traitors that are being honored? Trump has called others traders, yet the statues of actual traitors who were fighting against the United States should…
UNFAIR TREATMENT? The prosecutors in the Roger Stone case were pressured by senior Justice Department officials to recommend a more lenient sentence. Aaron Zelinsky one of the four prosecutor was told by U.S. Attorney Timothy Shea, that he was receiving “heavy pressure from the highest levels of DOJ to cut Stone a deal”. William Barr Attorney General, has consistently weighed in on cases in ways that appear to benefit the President. The four prosecutors won the Roger Stone case and…
THE DOOMSDAY PANDEMIC A virus that is new to the world without anyone having antibodies, with ease of transmission through breathing small particles is bad enough. Add the factor that has epidemiologists worried is a study of 100 Covid-19 patients that have recovered and found that antibodies lost their effectiveness after only a few months 2-3 months. This phenomena was especially noticed in those that had the virus and were asymptomatic. These had the shortest degradation of the antibodies. Another…
I WILL ONLY HIRE THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST “Drain the swamp!” and “I only hire the best and brightest!” were the words Donald Trump uttered in 2016 prior to his election. There was nothing but praise for his cabinet hires. Trump was his own CEO, CFO, HR and every other administrative position for his companies and surrounded himself with only lawyers, confidants and family to shield him from himself. He was and is very litigious and threatens lawsuits when cornered. …
IS THE U.S. A WORLDWIDE PARIAH? The initial response to Covid-19 is an indicator of the success of each country to the pandemic. President Trump only took the virus seriously when the stock market dropped precipitously in mid-March. Trump administration was the 24th to stop flights from China and 38th to stop flights from Europe. Even after the ban, 400,000 travelers mostly U.S. citizens, arrived from overseas and 40,000 from China. The timeline and the responses from the most successful…
TRUMP’S CORONA PALOOZA Where do you start with the freak show, open carry with far right boogaloo’s armed to the teeth, and white supremacists wanting to egg on the peaceful Black Lives Matter and other anti-Trump demonstrators. The crowds were very sparse with 98% of the anticipated million individuals that the Trump promoters and campaign chairman had said had responded to the request. That’s an awful lot of no-shows. Excuses abound for the lack of an enthusiastic adoring crowd. The…
DELUSION, DERISION OR BOTH? Trump, in a WSJ interview June 16th said, ”….testing for Covid-19 was overrated and allowed for the possibility that some Americans wore facial coverings, not as a preventive measures, but as a way to signal disapproval of him.” Duh The White house task force has been absent while states struggle with outbreaks. The last briefing was 53 days ago. CNN had a program on the Covid-19 and invited Dr. Fauci, who was directed by the White…
THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE The President is a self-described very stable genius and I concur! The only qualification to that statement is the location of the stable. I contend it’s in a barn like Mr. Ed the talking horse, just like the old sitcom where a horse talks to his owner Wilbur. In this context as a barn animal, Trump could be considered a very stable genius when compared to all the other barn animals. I previously described…
THE EMPERIOR HAS NO CLOTHES Donald Trump has attempted to stop the publication of the John Bolton book ‘The Room Where It Happened’ based on national security concerns. The book had its prepublication review and Bolton had rewritten excerpts that were the concern of the civil servant reviewer. She seemed to be satisfied and was about to write a release when a new Trump appointee, and former aid to Devin Nunez, Michael Ellas halted the process. Bolton being the former…
