Trump vs. Who Exactly?

The more days past, the farther Donald Trump seems to drift from his party. Though he ran on the Republican ticket, many were confused at his choice as in years past he had identified almost strictly as a democrat. Though he has made decisions that aligns him with both sides of the political spectrum. One day he is on board with the democrats, asking republicans to bend the knee; the next he is praising republicans and condemning democrats.  However, recent developments in the Immigration debate seem to have caused republicans and democrats to join forces against the President. As much as it is important that all of Congress works together, why did it take this long to get them there? Trump has been making outrageous statements since the beginning of his campaign, so why did it take this long to unite the political parties on both sides of the aisle?    Now what exactly was the twig that broke the camel's back? The separation of immigrant children from their parent’s at the border. This…

Trump: Fear For Young Men in America Today

For anyone unaware of the current political situation here in America, President Trump has backed to the hilt his nominee for the supreme court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, despite all of the news circulating about Kavanaugh’s sordid past not just with women, but with alcohol abuse among other concerns. Now, the one thing I will agree with Trump is that it should be innocent until proven guilty instead of guilty until proven innocent; however, I figure this is how men have treated women for how many hundreds of years so it’s about time they get a taste of how the other half lives.   In this piece, I will be reflecting upon my experiences and thoughts during the hearings and news coverage (for context, my news coverage rader is from BBC World News, NPR politics podcasts, CNN, MSNBC, and a bit of FOX just to round out all of the potential biases so I can see a story from as many perspectives as possible). The specific source I will be sighting below is the Time Magazine article entitled: “'A…

Real Men Don't Let Razor Commercials Get Under Their Skin

    First There Was The Greatest Advertisement Ever Made:  Hear me out.  This is brilliant, and I will explain why.  For now, if you have not seen The Ad That Melted The Internet, here it is. My advice is to play it slow, with subtitles / closed captioning turned on,  so that you hear every word and ONLY the words contained in the ad.        This ad has the power, like The Shadow, to cloud men's minds. People hear everything they want to hear in this ad. People are posting all over the Internet claiming they heard messages from the spirit world and all kinds of crazy stuff in this ad.    Transcript of this ad:  Is this the best a man can get? Is it?We can't hide from it. It's been going on for far too long.We can't laugh it off, making the same old excuses.But something finally changed, and there will be no going back.Because we, we believe in the best in men.To say the right thing, to act the right way.Some already are, in ways big and small.But "some" is not enough, because the boys watching today, will…

The Vortex Of Madness Between Putin And Trump

     "I don't believe anything, but I have many suspicions." -- Robert Anton Wilson    What Is Going On With Trump and Russia?  Hanged if anybody knows!  For a brief recap:  U.S. president Donald Trump is suspected of having colluded with Russia in exchange for Russian interference in the 2016 election, arranged with Russian president Vladimir Putin, which won Trump the office. Now entering his third year in office, an investigation is underway by U.S. Attorney General appointee Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller, which could lead to Trump's impeachment and removal from office.   So far, the Mueller investigation has indicted numerous Trump cabinet officials, campaign officials, and associates. This includes a signed confession from Trump's foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos, a guilty plea from Trump's national security adviser Michael Flynn, a guilty plea from Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen, an F.B.I. raid on Trump adviser Roger Stone, and a 25-count indictment of Trump's campaign…

The Impeachment of Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States

  I don't volunteer to write about politics, you know. They make me here. I am of course glad to rave about the circus clowns as much as the next guy, I have my tweets and stand by them.  But in the big picture, I know it doesn't do any good. The United States has transcended politics now. Elections, primaries, democracy, laws, impeachment, parties, these things mean nothing in the United States. They mean nothing because that's what the people want them to do.  It doesn't matter at this point whether Donald Trump is removed from office or not.  Pretending that removing Trump would fix everything at this point is like pretending assassinating Hitler would have stopped World War II. A new despot would have simply risen to take Hitler's place. Hitler was nothing without the country that brought him to power. The same case is true of Kim Jong-Un, Rodrigo Duterte, Xi Jinping, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and of course Vlad Putin.  The United States has even proven this to itself before. We went into…

Russia and Propaganda: What Does Putin Want?

  There is an old saying that goes: "The greatest lie the devil ever told was convincing the world he didn't exist." The Present Author will paraphrase that to fit our topic:  The Greatest Lie Russia Ever Told Was That The Cold War Is Over.  Oh, we thought so! We had our Reagan / Gorbachev moment, with all that mushy perestroika and glasnost and goodwill getting gooey all over each other.    Anybody remember the feel-good wave we all had as the Berlin Wall came down? Jesus Jones launched us into the '90s with "Right Here, Right Now" bursting with naive Generation X optimism, and David Hasselhoff showed up in a glowing piano jacket and sang a song about how we were all free from our problems forever. You expected them to conjure John Lennon back from the dead to declare this the Lord's Millennium of peace.  Yeah, that was all bullshit. Despite the fact that Russia signed a new constitution in 1993, including some remarkably western-like ideas like article 29, which guaranteed freedom of ideas…

US Capitol Insurrection 1/6/2021 : Why the South Will Fall Again

  The United States is still in shock after the January 6th attempt to storm the US capitol and overthrow the government. Indeed, the whole world has the jitters about the incident. Remember, the United States is still the world's leading military power, a cornerstone of the global economy, and one of the most manifested current democracies in the world. What happens in America affects every nation on Earth, at least through our foreign policy if nothing else.         Your humble author has kept his big yawp shut about this whole affair for awhile. For one, I have been waiting to see how events shakedown in the days directly before and after the inauguration of president Joe Biden and vice-president Kamala Harris. For another thing, I have to take some time to absorb the news and get a handle on this mess just like the rest of you. And I've got some insight for that handle which, as usual, I see the rest of you are overlooking.  Let's take a deep breath and relax because things are not as bad…
