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

America’s Famed Constitution – Rendered Toothless (#106)
The Impeachment of President Donald Trump fast approaches, perhaps as quickly as this week. And, it is the general consensus that the Democrat controlled House of Representatives will most likely vote to Impeach Trump, making him the third President in United States history to be Impeached. But that is where the certainty of Impeachment stops. Because after that will come the trial in the Senate, and it is almost assured that there, Trump will be acquitted by the Republican-c

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

Attack on Saudi Arabia – Iran the U.S. Target (#99)
The drone attacks on some of Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities were carried out by the Houthi rebels of Yemen (according to their own admission). The mainly Shia Muslim Houthi rebels, are fighting the majority Sunni government troops headed by President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who is backed by the Saudi and United Arab Emirate ‘Coalition’, which includes the United States, and possibly Israel. The ‘Coalition’ has through their indiscriminate air strikes and bombings of the Houthi

Women’s World Cup 2019 – Wow! (#94)
It was purely by accident that we became aware of the ‘2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup’. The reason being that there was shamefully little promotion of the coming games before they started on June 7th, 2019. In fact, compared to the massive global hoopla that precedes the men’s FIFA World Cup, there was no coverage whatsoever on regular media or any special promotions by FIFA that would make the average person aware of the impending games. And that, as we said, was a real shame,

Trump’s Lawlessness & Failures Mount - Daily (#93)
The very public past life of Trump proved a number of things about the man: his obsession with public fame achieved through cringe-worthy and relentless self-promotion; his amoral ease with wrongdoing in personal and professional life; his need to lie blatantly, consistently and compulsively; his appalling hypocrisy in religious, political and patriotic idealism; and his complete disregard for the American Constitution, the rule-of-law, and the dignity of the Presidential Off

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

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 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

A Murder Most Foul - And A Machiavellian Prince (#76)
The current World, which has been generally indifferent to mass murder of tens of thousands of people by ongoing wars, under some pretense of political necessity, the murder and possible butchering a one Saudi journalist, in a Saudi Consulate in Turkey, has inexplicably caught the attention of World and made it collectively retch in horror and disgust, perhaps by the sheer cold-blooded foulness of the deed. By most assessments, the killing was carried out by the direct order

Hey Kavanaugh: Bill Cosby – Guilty – “Sexually Violent Predator” (#73)
Bill Cosby, a onetime most trusted, admired man, ‘America’s Dad’, was found guilty of sexual abuse and sentenced by Justice Steven O’Neill to 3 to 10 years in jail, and labeled as a ‘sexually violent predator’, requiring a lifetime of monitoring and supervision, with a number of restrictions concerning proximity to schools etc. It is a stunning fall of a man who at one time, in the public’s eye, was beyond reproach. It was a stunning breach of personal and public trust, and a

The Tragedy of 9/11 – And Its Aftermath (#72)
On the anniversary of the tragic events of 9/11 in New York when the landmark Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were brought down with the use of civilian planes as bombs, along with the simultaneous attempt on the Pentagon Building, one reflects on the horrific event with its 3000 plus causalities, and its aftermath. The attack was precipitated by the desire of Islamic extremists to strike back at the United States, on its home soil, for what they perceived to be a long

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

With North Korea – Trump Retreads Bill Clinton’s Ground (#67)
Preamble: It could be argued that Democratic Presidents were better for the United States, generally speaking. From Franklin Delano Roosevelt Sr. onward - his leadership during the Great Depression and the Second World War was legend, as was John Kennedy himself, the Moon Landing (the ‘Camelot’ years), right on to Barack Obama, whose two terms were literally historic from being the first African-American President, to saving the World’s financial system from Republican (Bush)

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

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

The Storm Blew In – With Promise of More Turbulence (#63)
Last night’s interview of Stormy Daniels with Anderson Cooper, on 60 Minutes, was a much anticipated and watched event. Apparently 20 Million viewers tuned in and made this episode of the 60 Minutes the most watched in a decade (the fact that it wasn’t the most watched in history is also telling). The Interview itself was mildly interesting, in places somewhat disappointing, rather dull in the age of common-place extreme titillation, in retrospect kind-of predictable but defi
