India, World’s Largest Democracy – Turns To Modi - In Hindu Hope (#91)
India is the World’s largest true democracy (no ‘Electoral College’), with a population of approximately 1.3 Billion people, and a base of 900 million or so eligible voters of whom an estimated 67% (some 600 Million) voted in this most recent general election. From that perspective, this election was an exercise in democracy that is truly impressive. But beyond that there is a lot that is wrong with India’s political processes and principals. In a country that is most complet

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

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

Trump’s Economy – Light Lifting (#78)
For this coming November 6th, mid-term election, Donald Trump has been taking credit for the ‘greatest economy ever, in the history of the Country’, unceasingly; and also for the greatest ‘stock market’ ever, and the greatest unemployment numbers, ever... and so on and so on. The economy and the stock markets have done well, and the unemployment numbers are really good, but most of the hard work was done by President Barack Obama, after the last Republican administration of G

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

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

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

What a Trump State – Of the Union (#57)
The American political theatrics continued as Trump stoked the usual angst amongst all those that listened to him intone the tele-prompted State of the Union ('SOTU') address and acted ‘Presidential’ for the occasion. After this SOTU, Trump’s handlers, Republican law-makers of both Houses, and his supporters, all collectively breathed a sigh of relief and beamed their approval, because their President managed to stay on script, stuck to reading the teleprompter, didn’t flub t

The Speech That Confirmed Trump (#48)
On Tuesday the 19th, September 2017, the 45th President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump, gave his first speech to the United Nations (U.N.). The U.N. was a body formed after the global horror of the First and Second World Wars, to bring Nations together to resolve disputes and conflicts through dialogue, diplomacy, and negotiations, and to try its utmost to avoid the recurring horrors of inter-national wars, unnecessary violence and bloodshed. It was also tas

North Korea, the Mouse that Roared (#47)
On June 25th, 1950, the Socialist North Korea, then a post World War II Soviet Union (Russia) satellite, invaded South Korea, with Russia’s backing. The United States of America (U.S.), leading the United Nations (U.N.) forces came to capitalist South Korea’s defense and pushed the invading North Korean forces well back into their territory. Then communist China intervened, sending in waves of troops that pushed the U.S. and U.N. forces back until a deal was made between Russ

Republican Crafted ‘TrumpCare’ – America Shafted Again (#41)
After hiding behind closed doors like boys up to no good and indulging in something shameful, the Republican leaders emerged after drafting a Healthcare Bill in the Donald’s own image that turned everything he had promised about healthcare into a Big Fat Lie. After all, it was he who not too long ago that stated emphatically, that his healthcare plan would cover everyone with far less cost than ObamaCare (hated by him and the Republican leadership, but liked by most everyone

The Selling of America (#36)
The Republicans have sold America to commercial and political interests, domestic and foreign, to the point of significant setbacks for American credibility globally, with Donald Trump in the role of the battering ram that slams in daily incredulous sanity defying dents into what was once a recognizable America. It is quite extraordinary to watch the active betrayal of America’s interest, be it in policies that undermine the healthcare of the majority; or financial and consum

The Bull That’s Wrecking America, Not The China Shop (#31)
Donald Trump is so destructive on so many fronts that he is like a rampaging Spanish Pamplona bull that got away from the sealed off running area and is now loose destroying the entire town, piling up causalities of every moral, physical, principal and policy description to the ever growing horror of all spectators. And like a rampaging bull there is no method to the madness, unlike the ‘Raging Bull’ where aggression was used strategically, this is sheer folly let loose in a
