The Trump-Republican Train Wreck – Just Keeps Going (#104)
For years the Republicans looked and hoped for a man who could lead them with a fearlessness that was not squeamish of taking on the whole governing system. And they wanted someone who would disregard all the rules that till now had held them back in their frustrated desire to chuck the shackles of Constitutional requirements, and free them from all constraints of democratic, proper behavior. Republicans wanted a despot, and in 2016 they finally found their man in Donald J. T

The Republican God Delusion – King Trump? (#103)
American Republican Party’s hypocrisy has long been noted around the World. What with their tireless efforts to tamper with democracy itself, with planned and active suppression of Black American and minority votes through ‘Gerrymandering’; their opposition to abortion, except when one of their politician requires it, hush-hush of course; their believing in the sanctity of ‘unborn life’ but not in lives taken almost daily, because ‘guns’ are more sacred than American lives, o

Trump Republican Mob - Vs - The USA (#102)
All organized crime depends on two things to flourish, corruptibility of the system and intimidation. In America today, the World watched as the Republican Mob Boss, US President Donald J. Trump openly intimidated a Witness, Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, while she was giving testimony in the Impeachment Hearings. Ironically, she was testifying to the corrupting of the US State Department and American Foreign Policy, by corrupt foreign interests aided by corrupt American gover

Trump’s Bizarre Hold - On Cowed Republicans (#101)
One of the great mysteries of our time is how a bombastic, immoral, insufferable, narcissistic clod, and a pathological liar, Donald J. Trump, managed to so easily cow the Republican Party into fearful surrender. In spite of all his past and current failures, like his multitude of failed businesses and bankruptcies, multiple failed marriages, his lack of principles, ethics and integrity, his dubious claim to net wealth, and a demonstrably failed Presidency with not much to sh

Women’s World Cup 2019 – Wow! (#94)
It was purely by accident that we became aware of the ‘2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup’. The reason being that there was shamefully little promotion of the coming games before they started on June 7th, 2019. In fact, compared to the massive global hoopla that precedes the men’s FIFA World Cup, there was no coverage whatsoever on regular media or any special promotions by FIFA that would make the average person aware of the impending games. And that, as we said, was a real shame,

India, World’s Largest Democracy – Turns To Modi - In Hindu Hope (#91)
India is the World’s largest true democracy (no ‘Electoral College’), with a population of approximately 1.3 Billion people, and a base of 900 million or so eligible voters of whom an estimated 67% (some 600 Million) voted in this most recent general election. From that perspective, this election was an exercise in democracy that is truly impressive. But beyond that there is a lot that is wrong with India’s political processes and principals. In a country that is most complet

Old Scourges – Bad Leadership, Divisive Politics of Race & Religion (#88)
We have all collectively made it to the 21st Century, but we still suffer from the oldest scourges of humanity, the hate and divisiveness caused by the differences in our ideologies, our race and our religious beliefs that threaten our very lives. On a global scale, as countries vie for dominance and power over each other, wars rage on, be they actual wars, or more lately, racial, religious, ideological, and even trade and commerce wars. But regardless of their nature, they f

Truth Versus Republican Power – America’s Sell-Out (#87)
Finally, reportedly, there are murmurs of discontent surfacing from Robert Mueller’s investigators that ‘Attorney General William Barr did not do the Mueller Report justice’, in his 4-page summary. It is possibly the most significant, cynical understatement of the year. Significant, because on it hangs the truth about Trump and his teams activities during and after the Election Campaign; cynical, because for years now the Republican Party has proven itself unable to tell the

Paul Manafort – And the Injustice of Judge T.S. Ellis III (#84)
Infamously now, Paul Manafort got a huge break from Judge T. S. Ellis, the III, no-less, who sentenced Manafort to 47 months, for crimes which required a jail sentence somewhere between 19 to 24 years. The outrageously lenient sentence created a furor in America, as commentators, legal experts and most law-makers expressed shock and disbelief at the brevity of the sentence and the injustice of the Judge in flaunting legal precedents and minimum sentence requirements. Judge T.

The Trump Inevitable Happened – Ignorance Trumped America (#80)
When a dangerously ignorant person is elected to the highest office in the land, the country is going to suffer grievously, sooner than later. At the end of the year, 2018, almost two years into Donald Trump’s Presidency, America is looking incredibly dysfunctional, corrupt, divided, and more as a ‘Banana Republic’ in its governance, than the leader of the Free World; and Trump is wholly responsible. This transformation, from a somewhat bruised but still respected World leade

A Murder Most Foul - And A Machiavellian Prince (#76)
The current World, which has been generally indifferent to mass murder of tens of thousands of people by ongoing wars, under some pretense of political necessity, the murder and possible butchering a one Saudi journalist, in a Saudi Consulate in Turkey, has inexplicably caught the attention of World and made it collectively retch in horror and disgust, perhaps by the sheer cold-blooded foulness of the deed. By most assessments, the killing was carried out by the direct order

America’s Nemesis – Trump (#60)
As one watches the daily turbulence and turmoil in America generated by one man alone, the President of the United State, Donald J. Trump, enabled by the morally challenged Republicans, one cannot but help but think the Americans deserve the government they currently have, one that widens the rich and poor gap, penalizes the poor in favor of giving advantages to the wealthy, strips consumer protection, allow greater destruction of the environment, won’t act on common sense so

V.P. Mike Pence - President in Waiting? (#59)
American Vice President Mike Pence professes to be a man of God, and as such he knows the 'Lord' has a 'Plan' for his life, and that plan is ultimately to be the President of the United States. For that day Mike Pence works tirelessly, in humility, bearing all the scorn of the President, the majority of Americans, and the World, as he, without protest or shirking, goes about his daily task of defending the indefensible, blithely overlooking the unacceptable, excusing the inex

Trump Doubles Down on Dismantling America (#58)
The America that Americans and the World knew no longer exists because of Trump’s latest actions. It is gone forever because of an unthinkable crossing of a line that had been held sacred by all previous Presidents and administrations. Trump, with the initiative and assistance of others in the Republican Party, has wilfully crossed the line of a President directly interfering in an ongoing FBI investigation, by openly discrediting and firing the senior most officials in the F

The Compromise of General John Kelly (#51)
Now-a-days, just being in the Trump White House is to risk contamination and compromise if you are a person of principals. The contamination is succumbing to the ever present virus that infects the White House now – lies damn lies, untruths and half-truths. It’s something that seems to be inevitable, like being too close to a powerful vortex that inevitably sucks you under, regardless of your standing before you get there. Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer was in

Trump & Team at It Again (#28)
The most memorable and distinguishing trait of the Trump Presidency, so far, has been the blatant lying that has shocked the American politicians (no mean feat), the press and the public. The rest of the World has been mesmerized by the spectacle Trump has made of the ‘Great’ America since his campaign and his election, by his ridiculous statements and behavior, that has made America seem more like the most dysfunctional ‘Banana Republic’ with corrupt, tragic and sadly comica
