Another hopeful sign

Wednesday, June 3, 2026

The media is not allowed, or is not allowing itself, to recognize the fact that Trump is rapidly sliding into a fairly advanced state of dementia. One thing that appears to be happening as a result of that dementia may very well make a Democratic surge in November even more likely. All his life Trump […]

Another great talent of the genius

Monday, June 1, 2026

We read here that more Americans believe that the Earth is Flat or that the moon landing was faked, than believe that it’s okay for Trump to name government buildings after himself. I think we can assume that the same numbers prevail for his insistence that he appear on passports, gold coins, and $250.00 bills. […]

Corruption to the nth degree

Saturday, May 30, 2026

I totally support James Talarico’s bid for the U.S. Senate, but I have to disagree with his assertion that Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in the country. Alright, you might argue he’s tied, but there’s no way he beats out the person who currently resides in an executive mansion that said person has […]

Impeach? 25th Amendment? Yes and No.

Thursday, April 9, 2026

John Larson, along with other Democrats, has filed articles of impeachment against the genius. I don’t expect them to go anywhere, but perhaps more important is that Larson and others have demanded that the 25th Amendment be invoked to remove Demented Don from office. In doing so they are explicitly, though perhaps not explicitly enough, […]

MAGA support crumbling

Tuesday, March 17, 2026

I should start by saying that the following assumes we will have somewhat fair elections in November. I am by no means predicting that will actually be the case. Given that assumption, it appears that Trump’s decision to go to war for no reason whatsoever is causing his, and by extension Republican, support to crumble. […]

In Defense of Trump (to a limited extent)

Monday, February 2, 2026

At first I got a kick out of this article at Crooks & Liars, in which we read the following: Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m happy about the results in Texas. But as I thought about it, it occurred to me that there’s plenty of reasons to think that Trump didn’t know about the […]

New Year’s Predictions

Wednesday, December 31, 2025

I’ve done this in the past, sometimes getting things right, and sometimes getting things wrong. On the wrong side, I actually predicted, at the end of 2020 that given his recent defeat to Biden, the Republicans would consign Trump to the memory hole along with folks like George W. Bush. This year I think I’ll […]

Epstein Day

Friday, December 19, 2025

It’s my understanding that today the Epstein files, or so much of them that the Justice Department has not managed to squirrel away, are to be released. That’s what I understand. Now, on to what I don’t understand. I don’t understand how anyone can be surprised, or fail to expect, that Trump was involved with […]

Another compendium, the dementia edition

Thursday, October 16, 2025

A while ago I started a post in which I intended to tally each act of open corruption in which Trump or his henchmen engaged. I admit I’ve fallen down on the job, as there have been plenty since my last update, but I’m hoping to get back to work on it. This post is […]

Windmills

Tuesday, August 26, 2025

A big issue here in the New London area is Trump’s recent decision to order a stoppage to work on a wind farm that has become a major part of the local economy. What interests me is the fact that, at least from what I’ve seen, both the media and politicians opposed to the stoppage […]
