DÉJÀ VU ALL OVER AGAIN How did we get here? The shutdowns and stay at home orders supposed to flatten the curve and provide time to stock up and equip states with test capabilities, PPE, and ventilators. Peter Navarro, the trade advisor to Trump, is responsible for the coordination of supplies and PPE for the pandemic. The eight weeks of sheltering in place were spent on how to have companies make profits and not providing any strategic planning for production…
NO EXCUSE In her book, Mary Trump’s account of her grandfather- uncle Donald’s father- Fred Sr. was domineering and a “high-functioning sociopath,” and was “emotionally and physically absent”. This left Donald without empathy and “fundamentally incapable of acknowledging the suffering of others”. Another emotional scar could have been the traumatic effect of all this, along with being sent to a military academy. Donald just does not care about anyone but himself. Lacking love and acceptance, he is driven to attempt…
ALL IN THE FAMILY The tell all book by Donald’s niece Mary L. Trump PhD and a clinical psychologist that says he is a sociopath. She has written a book that explains of the symptoms and he exhibits all of them. Too Much and Not Enough tells of the family tax fraud schemes that taxpayers are still paying for.

TRUMP AND RACISISM A Daily Beast article by Mike Barnicle says it all about the 4th of July. It reads. “I…..Thought about a man standing in the shadow of Mt. Rushmore Friday night, seemingly intent on provoking a 21st-century civil war. Division is his dream. Duplicity is his principle tool as he feasts on resentment while knowingly provoking bitterness within those who may feel left out or left behind in a land where a whole class of citizens is frightened…
UNEMPLOYMENT AND CRISES MISDIRECTION Hidden within the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), lower unemployment numbers were to obscure pain the national economy is actually feeling. The record numbers of new jobs on a month-to-month basis ignores the massive losses in March and April. The net is still 14 million jobs in the hole, even with the 7 million new jobs in May and June. It’s all optics for effect only. The advertised rate of 11.1% unemployed ignores the real numbers….
THE PARTY OF TRUMP Trump’s lack of ability to grasp the truth is based on his distrust in every science discipline and a distorted view of history. Facts only get in the way of policy and objectives of this administration. McCarthyism is rampant in this administration with the idea of division. Conservatives no longer care about your facts and if they are contrary to objectives it’s labeled as fake news. Trump, for effect, will lie so the focus is not…
SHAME ON YOU PETER NAVARRO! The blame game has a face, it’s Peter Navarro. Comments from an July 3, 2020 MSNBC interview has me thinking its propaganda time. The election must be nigh. He is the individual that had the responsibility for the failed Defense Production Act (DPA) virus coordination. In the interview, he seriously accused the Chinese of manufacturing the virus without any evidence, accused the Chinese of spawning the virus with a 100,000 Chinese national hoard knowingly infected…
LEARNING DISABILITY? A timeline on his unbelievable lack of knowledge about a subject Donald Trump should know something about. As an example, in the past he has commented on the Covid-19 Trump said the following: Feb.10th, 2020 “Looks like April, you know in theory when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously go away.” Feb.27th , 2020 “It’s going to disappear. One day, It’s like a miracle, it will disappear” March 6th, 2020 “You have to be calm, It’ll…
JUNE EMPLOYMENT DATA The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) came out with the June labor report and was incredible for numerous reasons. It showed 4.8 million jobs created in June, which is a phenomenal amount of jobs. This comes as businesses open up that had been shuttered including bars and restaurants. The unemployment rate itself was officially at 11.1%, which is also outstanding relative to the April. I have studied the BLS data and found some reason to be somewhat…
THE FED CONTINUED FROM 1 JULY In an article in the Washington Post about the Fed actions had some interesting revelations and warnings. The article was written by Rachel Siegel on June 29th, 2020 in italics. “The Federal Reserve’s disclosure that it could purchase the debt of massive companies such as Apple and Microsoft, as well as U.S. subsidiaries of foreign firms, triggered a fresh debate about the central bank’s norm-shattering response to the economic crisis and whether its efforts…
