Distemper in the White House – Casualty John Bolton (#98)
To put a point on the mentally unstable nature of Donald Trump’s White House, the ouster of John Bolton quickly deteriorated into a childishly public spat, with Trump announcing on twitter that he had ‘fired’ Bolton, and Bolton almost immediately firing back, on twitter, that he had ‘resigned’ first! This is the ‘State of Affairs’ in the World’s most powerful nation’s innermost sanctum, the White House; peevishly immature minds in control. Bolton was the 3rd National Security

How Is Little Russia - Wagging Big Dog America? (#89)
Modern day Russia is tiny, in every critical aspect of global power, to the one and only true ‘Super-Power’ in the World today – The United States of America – (except geographically, of course). Yet it seems to be in almost complete command of America’s administration through the abjectly servile Donald J. Trump, who cannot help but bow and scrape in front of the diminutive Vladimir Putin, as does his administration, and the enablers - the Republican Senators and Congressmen

The Mueller Report – ‘A Mystery in an Enigma’ (#86)
The much anticipated Mueller Report is finally out, and its four page summary by Attorney General (AG) William Barr seems to have stirred as much controversy as anything to do with Trump usually does. According to AG William Barr, in the Report, Mueller clears Trump of collusion, but on the ‘Obstruction’ issue, decides not to charge Trump but - ‘does not exonerate him’ either. Well, as can be imagined Trump and his supporters claim ‘total exoneration’, even though according t

The Trump Crime Syndicate is Falling Down (#70)
Syndicate: a group of individuals or organizations combined to promote some common interest. For the 2016 Presidential Election, a number of well-placed individuals committed to support a self-obsessed, chronic publicity-hound, businessman of questionable repute, Donald J. Trump, and his bid to become the 45th President of the United States. This syndicate was not only committed, but was not above ‘doing whatever it takes’ to win, just like their candidate. And they did do wh

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

Lies, Damn Lies - Trumpism (#54)
Since just over a year ago, when Republican Presidential Candidate Donald J. Trump got elected as the next President of the United States, all norms expected of the American President’s Office and his administration’s behavior have been so violated that the extreme and outrageous abnormalities with which Donald Trump and his team of handpicked inner circle have behaved, is now the new normal of the absurd, bordering on the criminal. To think that a modern day American adminis

All OFF-BOARD, the Trump Train (#44)
The Trump Presidential train was supposed to transport a failing America from a besieged, worst deal-making, most-losingest country in the World, back to the land of ‘Great Again’, where it would ‘win, win, win, till it was tired of winning’ country, on his special brand of train that was the best, the greatest, the fastest, the most traveled, the most full, the most accomplished, the cheapest, in the shortest time ever, perhaps even in history. Except, the Trump train never

The On-Going Saga of Senate Hearings (#39)
Last week, the fired FBI Director James Comey’s testimony was a major league event in American politics. Large segments of the American and international audience were giddy with anticipation and excitement, and Comey didn’t disappoint as he gave a riveting testimony. Yesterday, Attorney General Jeff Session’s rebuttal to Comey’s testimony was looked forward to with the excitement of the next episode of an exciting television series. In reality, Session’s testimony and rebutt

The Selling of America (#36)
The Republicans have sold America to commercial and political interests, domestic and foreign, to the point of significant setbacks for American credibility globally, with Donald Trump in the role of the battering ram that slams in daily incredulous sanity defying dents into what was once a recognizable America. It is quite extraordinary to watch the active betrayal of America’s interest, be it in policies that undermine the healthcare of the majority; or financial and consum

Dictatorship American-Style (#35)
Donald Trump acts to protect himself and his associates from an ever encroaching FBI led investigation that was perhaps getting to close for comfort. So he fired James Comey, Director of the FBI, who refused to publicly exonerate him, and was the man who was heading the investigation into Trump and his associates, and their relationships with Russia. To fire the man that is investigating you is a rare privilege that Trump the President was not shy to exploit, even if it broke

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

Vintage Trump Reasserts Control (#25)
The past few days were tough and getting tougher for President Trump and his White House team members. The controversies about Russian connections that have dogged him and his team for the past weeks, seem to be gaining size and momentum, and had started to rise to a fever pitch to the degree that Republican Senators and Congressmen had started to call for investigations into all the allegations of contacts, and possible collusion, between Russia officials and Trump’s campaig
