Trump, Farage & The Far-Right – Want You to Forget (#92)
Of late, there is an arrogant rise of the 'Far-Right'; arrogant, because the attitudes and messages espoused by the many proponents of 'Right-Wing' Nationalism today are stated with the confidence of proven experience, while the World’s recent history and experience is in direct contradiction to it all. Currently, this Right-Wing movement’s most famous proponents are – Trump and Steve Bannon of the United States, Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson of the UK, Marie Le Pen of Franc

As Risks Rise – So Seems Market Confidence. What gives? (#90)
Global tensions and adverse developments are at an all time high. Yet, except for brief pullbacks the major stock markets, especially USA’s, seem to take all the global business and political setbacks in stride, and almost immediately return to their positive territory. This upward repeating action does not reflect the current global economic reality, but as in the recent past, it seems to extend the undefeatable attitude of the full-on ‘Quantitative Easing’ (QE) times when t

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

The Wall – By Trump (#81)
America is in the midst of a political civil war, and it’s about a ‘Wall’. This wall, or the lack of it, promised by President Trump to his supporters, is to be built on the country’s southern border with Mexico to keep migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, drugs, criminals, terrorists, and all other means of evil from America the ‘Promised Land’. To the World’s oppressed, persecuted, and poor, and those that just want to partake, or have a shot at, the proverbial ‘American Dre

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

America’s ‘Free-Market’ Economy – Now Run by Political Dictates (#79)
Lately, as business and economic realities made their presence felt in falling financial markets, tech companies descending from their extraordinary peaks, retailer bankruptcies (like Sears), General Motors (GM) auto plant closures, steadily rising rates from their historic lows, and softening of the economic outlook, America that prided itself as the ‘free market’ champion of the world, once again became ‘Socialist/Communist’ and dictated a reversal to the downturn by politi

The Growth of Insanity & Hate – In Trump’s America (#77)
America has been slowly but steadily coming off the rails for many a decade. But since Donald Trump’s Presidency, it is completely off the rails, and has become the ‘drunk’ at the Party that is destroying all norms of civil behavior much to the alarm and chagrin of the rest of the civilized, democratic World (not much of it left). Conversely, America’s self destructive behavior is causing great delight in its historic adversaries such as Russia, China, and the rest of the aut

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

The Rogue President - And the Complicit Republicans (#64)
The United States has a President in Donald Trump who thinks he is above the law, and the lawmakers, officials, and the institutions of the country are there primarily to serve and protect him, and if they don’t, regardless of how well they do their respective jobs, they are incompetent, disloyal and need to be removed and replaced with someone more compliant with much greater sensitivity to his personal and political needs. From day one, he has demanded fealty, and public di

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
