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

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

Sexual Predation & American Politics (#55)
It is a sign of the times when a long standing universal problem, such as the sexual predatory behavior of men towards women, in America becomes a partisan issue, divided into Republican predators - and Democratic predators. The imminent election race for the U.S. Senate between Republican Judge Roy Moore and Democrat Doug Jones, is not being defined by the difference in their probable governing policies, but by the potential acceptance of an alleged sexual predator of teenag

America’s Gun-Virus – Thank God It’s Not Contagious (#53)
Americans are deeply infected with a particularly virulent strain of the gun-virus. It is a form of disease that makes otherwise normal American human beings love and value their guns over the lives of their fellow American human beings. This is made possible by America’s unique gun ownership laws (there aren’t many, to speak of) which are unique amongst developed countries, making it the gun murder capital amongst its peer nations. The steady almost clockwork rising toll of

An American Mass Murder So Horrific - ISIS wants to own it! (#50)
Since the mass murder in Las Vegas last night, an act of internal terror, the American news has been tying itself in knots trying to understand why a seemingly ordinary (a supposed real estate millionaire not a disenfranchised struggling angry American), retired 64 years old from a ‘sleepy’ town in Nevada, would massacre ordinary pleasure seeking fellow Americans, at a Country Western Music Concert in the city of pleasure itself, Las Vegas. So far neither the news media, nor

America’s Self Inflicted Wounds (#40)
The shooting at the Republican team baseball practice shocked the United States of America. The rest of the World was stunned by the incident but probably not that surprised, because internal ‘shootings’ have become an American thing, in the eyes of the developed World at least. Yes, far more gun related violence takes place in some of the Latin/South America countries, war torn countries of Middle East and North Africa, a few Eastern European countries, and in Asian countrie

‘Alternative-Facts’ Rule America (#24)
Trump’s campaign manager and White House advisor, KellyAnne Conway, made famous the words ‘alternative- facts’ when describing his Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s less than accurate version of the size of the crowd, and the overall turnout at the inauguration of Trump. Now, ‘alternative-facts’ has become a popular catch-all phrase to describe untruthfulness and willful distortion of real facts. In these tumultuous early days of Trump’s Presidency, the Country has been inundated
