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.

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

Russian 'Dirt' on Clinton - Burying Trump & Team (#52)
Allegations of Trump’s Campaign having colluded with the Russians to defeat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Presidential Election, have been discussed and investigated from the start of Trump’s Presidency. During all these months of Hearings and Investigations, there was a lot of smoke but little to no fire, which frustrated lawmakers and the public alike. And while seemingly circumstantial evidence kept piling-up, and speculation ran rampant, there was nothing concrete enough t

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

Trump’s Three Religion Trip (#37)
Trump is on his first foreign trip and it’s a big one. Conceived by his supposed wunderkind son-in-law Jared Kushner, Trump is visiting the homes of the three greatest religions on Earth: Saudi Arabia home to Islam, then on to Israel, home to Judaism and Christianity, and then to the Vatican City to meet the Pope and then to Brussels to a meeting of NATO. At some point in his campaign or even during the early days of his Presidency, Trump has offended every single religion th

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
