Trump Impeached – Rightfully, Forever (#107)
Donald Trump as US President earned his Impeachment, by diligent daily effort. From the time he announced his running for the US Presidency, Trump started to work towards eventually getting impeached. And whatever his faults, and there are plenty, one cannot fault him for not being diligent enough as the most unfit person to be the President of the United States of America; and his reward for being so consistent in being unfit, the day he was finally impeached. From the time

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’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

The Battle for America – In the Time of Trump (#100)
For ages there has been an ongoing battle for the emergent soul of America. The nation was born of a colonial past and the constant battle for new territories and supremacy among the then competing world powers of Europe and England. America’s emergence was soaked in conquest, rebellion, violence, genocide of the natives, and the shattered lives and blood of African slaves. Out of this violent past came a new nation that has become the supreme power in the world as it develop

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 Trump is Making America - Small Again (#95)
It took America some 241 years from the ‘Declaration of Independence’ to become the Leading Country in the World, economically, militarily and politically - in other words, ‘Great’ - politically, economically, and militarily. On the World Stage, it took Trump about two years to make America very small again, by doing all the things that brought the very legitimacy of the US Presidential Elections into question; by appointing people in high places that have ended-up under crim

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

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

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 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

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

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

World Cup 2018 - Much Improved (#68)
What a pleasant surprise, to watch World Cup 2018, and not be frustrated, disappointed, and at times disgusted, so far. After the Olympics, World Cup (also every four years) is undisputedly the greatest International sporting event. Unlike the multi-sport and athletics competition ‘The Olympics’ - ‘The World Cup’ is all about the singular game of football, perhaps the most beloved sport globally, and therefore one that has the greatest audience globally, and incites the most

Trump – Mueller – And the New America (#66)
It has been almost 16 months since Donald J. Trump became President of the United States. For 12 of those months, he has been under investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, for the possibility of his Campaign having colluded with Russian operatives to influence the 2016 Presidential Elections, in his favor. All evidence so far points to, at the very least, an unusually close and politically unhealthy relationship between Trump’s Campaign and Russia, and a concerted ef
