TARIFFS! Trump's Game of Stickin' It To Us!

TRUMP'S MONEY GAME

AMERICANS  ARE  NOTHING  BUT  A  FIELD  OF  MUSHROOMS

WE'RE  KEPT IN  THE  DARK

AND   FED  BULLMANURE

And I'm Getting  a Little Tired Of It! 

 

A Time to Grieve and a Time to Act

He has been called horrible names by wiser wordsmiths than me. He has been accused of evil doings by more legal minds than mine. And, he has been condemned to the firey pits of hell by better Christians of God than I may ever attain. But, there is one group that may never reach the level that I have reached: The level of pure, unadulterated, disgust for the disruption and damage he has done to America, its people, and its future!

The people of this nation are literally frozen in fear of what deadly harm they may face if they speak their mind about him. They may wake up after a quick, off-handed utterance and find themselves on the way to a far-away prison - never to be heard from again!

His threats are all-too real. His style of commanding his dictatorship harkens back to the 1930s and 1940s in Europe. 

Enough. The days are becoming clogged with a constant nerve-wracking reality that I doubt anyone ever thought would actually visit our nation! 

There is a time to grieve and there is a time to act!

Okay, Now It's Serious

His Polls are Under Water Deeper Than the Mariana Trench

Only a handful of humans on Earth have been that far under water. Donald Trump, however, has managed to get there in less than 100 days, The going hasn't been easy, though. He's about out of air, the pressure is tremendous, and the "sharks" are getting hungry.

So far, out of professional courtesy, the sharks have left him alone. The day is coming, however, when they will see that rather large chunk of floating dinner and turn it into their favorite meal: chicken al a king!

When one chooses a life of crime, corruption and cowardness, one has to expect a rather quick and bitter end to his sinister power grab attempt. Sharks just don't care who or what you are!

The real story will soon be coming. He has finally exposed his entire hand of monsterous crime and the people will need to either call his bluff or drag him into the bathroom and flush him down the toilet.

To put a finer point on the things, this man has moved his actions to the far, far dark side of hell. He is ordering his storm troopers to grab people off the street and out of their homes with no regard whether they are guity or not. They say they might make mistakes, but they never admit it when they do.

The horrendous question is:  How many completely innocent families are sitting in some god-forsaken prison umpteen thousand miles from America, their rightful and legal home? We're aware of news stories of this happening now! 

How in the hell is our government getting away with this. . . and who is working on stopping it?

This is America, dammit...it's not Trump's!

Please just go into that good night

 THE  TOTAL  COLLAPSE 

OF  THE  100-DAY  REIGN  OF  FRAUD

Do not go gently into that good night. 

(Not when you can blame your failures on the damn Liberals!)

As the sun sets on Mar-a-Lago on April 30, 2025, the end was in sight for Donald J. Trump. He had tried his best to bring his dream of turning America into a nation of authoritarianism, but the people were having none of it. He did not have the know-how to bring his most evil-of-all-evil acts to fruition!

In the end, his most loyal people in congress even backed away from him. He boasted to the heavens that he would do to America what emperors, kings, dictators and garden-variety thugs have done to other countries. 

 However, he is failing miserably!

I don't know if anyone knows who first placed the arbitrary time of one hundred days as his test period of success or failure. But, depending on how you look at it, it was either far too long or much too short! 

Trump's moments of success should be measured in brief and fleeting seconds or time spent in accumulating cobwebs.He is a hit and miss kind of guy and that kind of success/failure ratio can't easily be measured.

The Wall Street Journal, for example, wrote "Trump's First 100 Days on Pace to Be Worst for Dow, S&P 500 Since Nixon. Donald Trump 2.0, Potomac watch. Dire Warning of Failed Presidency."

We could spin that channel dial for twenty minutes and still be unable to find some good news. Even FOX had no choice but to run the dismal-to-terrible poll numbers!

Let's hope someone, someway, someday will put the 2.0 out of it's misery.  Even they don't deserve to suffer. . . much.

Lost and Wandering through the hills of Loco Weeds

"I agree with President Trump that Canada should and will become a part of the United States," said Marco Rubio, Secretary of State of the United States.

I would expect to hear crazy talk like that from followers of Donald Trump. but to hear it from a top official of the president's administration knocked me off my feet. What in the hell do they smoke and drink during their staff meetings?

I can remember when Trump had no kind words to say about this guy. As a matter of fact, the continual mocking by Trump is still ringing in my ears: "Little Marco Rubio thinks he can beat me in the primaries!"

Evidently, once all of the snakes decided to "den" until election time, there was a mass cooling-off period where they became lonesome for each other and started thinking alike. 

There aren't five sane and sober Republicans in the United States who would  agree with Trump on the Canada issue! Not one congressional Republican has endorsed the plan to go into Canade and take her by force - if necessary - as Trump has promised.

But, may the saints preserve that thing in Marco's little pointed head that makes him say funny  like this, "Little Marco Rubio" must have been generously paid to agree with the boss and try to help him invade the beautiful and successful country to the north of us. 

I am disappointed in you, "Little Marco," -  you were my last hope for some sign of intelligence in "Trump's Crazy Cabinet." But, alas, you are as inept, lost, and wandering through the hills of loco weeds as the rest of your Cabinet cohorts. 

Not a damn one of you will stand up for America against HIM!

The "Wicked" Judge is in Handcuffs

DANGEROUS JUDGE ARRESTED

FBI Director Kash Patel posted a photo on "X" (formerly Twitter) Friday night of the Wisconsin judge who was arrested for allegedly obstructing immigration agents. Judge Hannah Dugan was handcuffed  and escorted to a vehicle by  three law enforcement agents in a "perp walk." The caption by Patel reads, "No one is above the law." 

Patel did, however, make one small exception to that quote: The president, his Cabinet members, various MAGA members in Congress, the president's family and friends, and others are a tiny bit above the law - as it will be soon written.

This is a court case you'll want to follow to the end. The actual issues are yet to be revealed. Judge Dugan has yet to tell her story, nor has she even been asked to. It appears the Department of Justice has already found her guilty and her sentence might already be set.

The greatest fear we presently have with this authoritarian rule that seem to suddenly be under way, is the way they are ruling by the seat of their bloomers. We Americans are, evidently, all to be considered "guilty" and deported on the next plane!

I'm hoping the best for Judge Dugan - and the rest of us. This mob is starting to show some fangs - and that isn't good!

You're a mean one, Mr. President

...and there was no one left to speak out for me!

This was the cover page of a recent "Daily News," New York's Hometown Newspaper. 

It is the best possible image I can think of for how America sees President Trump's plans to change our democracy into an authoritarian rule. 

How did we get here, people? Why did we chose such a path for ourselves? We can't say we did so blindly and without an inklying of knowledge about the man. 

My gawd, even the most remote of any place on the planet must have known of his cruelty by then. I'm sure there were even aliens from the deepest places in our universe who knew him by his reputation. Geez, haven't you figured out by now why they haven't attacked us yet? 

We know the guy, we know his problem, and we know what to do about.  We evidently just don't know who is supposed to do it.. . or when.  

We've probably used up our chanches for impeachment. We had him by the $%@@s two or three times and we let his Senate GOP gnomes turn him loose. 

So, the race is on. Will he ruin America or will the gnomes get their act together and put a stop to him first?

It Just Has to be a Hallucination, doesn't it?

Parkinson's  Halllucinations

As a patient of Parkinson's Disease, I found that I am among the 40% who may have hallucinations. It usually happens in the later stages of the disease and usually in the evening hours of the day - probably when  most tired.

It began with my watching one of Lorraine's plants in the living room suddenly start growing at a very rapid rate and clmbing to the ceiling and then crawling along it, before disappearing. Weird, right? So far, I'm only seeing things that weren't there before blinking out. I admit that the first time I saw the "fast-growing plant" unverved me a lot. Now, it's troublesome, but I know what to expect - and I've never been told it usually happens in later stages of the dreaded disease. I learned that on the internet. I have complete trust in my neurologist, but I'm learing there are things about this disease that no one, not even a neurologist, can anticipate or explain. 

Doctors say most hallucinations are usually just visions of people, animals, or objects that appear and leave. Some are even "entertaining," and I guess some are downright scary! I've had a few of those, but it's always the same image and always of the same monster: 

I'm learning that some patients hear music, too.  This guy doesn't produce music . . . he just lies about how great he is and how great he is going to make the world. Stuff like that. 

And that stupid hair. And that stupid look on his face. 

And when the hallucination "winks out," he always leaves me with the words, "I'll be back, Watson...I''ll be back for you, you lib-crazy Blogger!"

There ain't no medicine for that stuff - believe me!

U.S. Attorney General

PAM BONDI

Attorney General Pam Bondi promised on Friday that prosecution for judges who cross the Trump Administration are headed for big, big trouble with her. That comes on the heels of the arrest of Hannah Dugan, a possible unlawful Milwaukee  immigration arrest operation.

"What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me," Bondi said. "The judges are deranged is all I can think of. I think some of these judges think that they are beyond and above the law. They are not, and we are sending a very strong message today. . . if you are harboring a fugitive. . . we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you!"

Bondi alluded to the Trump administration's willingness to conflict with the Constitution.

This is the Attorney General of the Authoritarian arm of the Trump Gestapo. The Gestapo's powers included arrest and detention without due process, and they were instrumental in the Nazi regime's terror tactics.

Such is the new Attorney General, Pam Bondi, as she follows the Trump authoritarian rule of law!

Out of Nothing, Comes Less

The Greatest Deal-Maker That Never Lived

Once upon a time there was a man who thought of himself as the greatest deal-maker in the whole world. 

During his first ninety days in office as president, he made more than 200 tariff deals with innocent and unaware places around the world. In at least three desolate island in the South Pacific, there are now tens of thousands of penguins who will need some schooling on what they need to know about their tariffs because there are no humans to teach them.

He has also touted the fabulous deals he has made with the tortured "illegal" aliens. Since he has made the decision that America no longer has a use for them, he has furnished each one of them with free transportation to any wretched land that has insanely wicked prisons where they can lay around and enjoy early retirement for the rest of their lives. 

Perhaps his biggest deal that is still in the planing stage is his wholly unselfish gift to Americans across the nation. He is making it possible to allow him to give we, the people, an extra four years of his wise and generous time as our president.  That will take some work, since we'd have to change the constitution, but to have such a stable genius for another term would be worth it.   Come on, who isn't in favor of that?

One correction just came in, however.  Those "more than 200 tariff deals have already fallen apart. More on that later. 

Also, the free transportation for the one million people he wants to deport. . . he wants to collect the travel expense from each one before they board the plan or ship. Someone just told him what  all of that will cost.

Lastly, perhaps his proudest deal of all was when he convinced each and every one of his top-notch team of Cabinet scholars to forego their big public paychecks and work for their government for awhile. We owe them a big thanks  - and a cheapened rate to go back and finish their schooling!  (good gawd, what rock  did he find them under?)

More corrections are coming in, folks.  I'll post all corrections next time!

Donnie's gettin' mad. . .

H-e-e-r-r-e-'s  Donnie

Hiding from his latest poll numbers, Donnie Trump is extremely apopletic. He is highly overcome with anger as he reads the latest polls from FAUX news. Donnie picks up the phone and calls Rube, the old man of FAUX news, himself, on his direct line. 

What the hell are you doing to me, Rube? How much have I paid you over the years to get you to run those phony news stories about my opponents? How much have I paid for all of your slimy, fake news stories? 

I'm in trouble here, Rube! The polls are killing me. They've got me underwater in my performance as president, my likeability, my tariffs, my choice of inept Cabinet bozos, and my DOGE ideas. Every stinking thing I've tried to do to make life better for the American people has been viewed as at the bottom of the polls! My polls could hardly get any worse!

And what do you do, ol' buddy. . . you run the damn polls on your lousy television network, too! And, they were polls you paid to have done!! And, they match all the polls that were run by everyone else!

So, Rube, ol' friend, what is this going to cost me for you to tell the world the polls were mistakenly aired by your precious FAUX news and you will be running the "right " story tonight!

Right?. . . ol' buddy?

When Best Buddies Collide

                                                                                                     (This is Donald-lumpkins)

The President was caught off guard yesterday when Vladimir Putin decided on a spur of the moment to lob two or three dozen missiles

into Ukraine to show he doesn't do ceasefires. Trump had already said he can bring this war to a halt in one or two days.  Now, poor

Donald looks like a darn looser, and we all know what

that means.

You've been a bad boy, Vlad. You promised me you'd let me know when you were going to shell the hell out of Ukraine again.  How can I be your useful idiot if you don't tell me anything?

This caught me with my pants down, ol' buddy. If you'd just leave me to settle this little problem, maybe I could get you forty percent of Ukraine's land. The way you're going, you won't get more than maybe fifteen percent that will even be worth havin.'

I've got things to do, so I can't be spending my valuable time fighting your war, Vlad. I have tariff wars to fight!

Stay home and count your roubles, Vlad. I'll make a call on the Ukraine kid and make him a deal he can't refuse. He's a push-over!

And for gawd's sake, Donald, quit that sniveling and crying.  It ain't a good look for a president.

A 100-Day Report on Him from Hell

Damn You. . . Damn you to hell!. . .  You blew it all to smithereens! You and your crazy-headed MAGA Monkeys blew it all to little pieces!

Your first time behind the big Resolute Desk, you were crazy enough to show  us how you would take the wheels off the tracks and take our nation out for a test spin where there are no guardrails and no speed limits. You teased your "crazied- and-chomping-at-the-bit" followers with hints of how hell could be fun under his authoritarian control. 

He would be ready to take over America in his second term. 

A slight glitch in his plan didn't give him that second term, but he almost overturned our entire nation with an insurrection at our Capitol - an election he tried to steal -  illegally!

Today, he has been in the Oval Office for nearly 100 days and he has come closer to destroying our government than any foreign adversary ever has! He has ravaged departments within our system to the point they are recognizeable. He has chosen the most inept, dishonest and uncontrollable nitwits ever asembled to clog up a Presidential Cabinet.

His inabilitiy to do the job has been replaced with bluster, lies, wild-eyed promises, and playing his "I didn't say it would actuallly work, but look at this bright shinny thing I've got over here" game! He has perfected that line to the "Nth Degree!" 

Until the end, he will be the consummate flim-flam con man, huckster, psychological liar, narcissistic, and probably the most damaged human being you will ever see!

And America stuffed him behind the "Resolute Desk," like idiots  - TWICE!

Most importantly, now that we have him, what are we going to do with him? I mean, right after we get rid of his Republican supporters in the U.S. House, Senate, and anywhere else we can find them hiding in the weeds, these crooks must be run off, too!

We Americans began our democracy with protests and war. Are we willing to do the same to keep it?

From Boss Tweed to Donald Trump

   
The "Trump Organization" is the "really corrupt arm of the Trump Administration." 

So far, the Authoritarian Trump has the worst  success rate at the  Supreme Court of any modern president. He has prevailed only 47% of the time, a worse record than that of his predecessors going back at least as far as Franklin D. Roosevelt. 

Since FDR's administration, presidents have won roughly 67% of their cases at the U.S. Supreme Court. While the public seem to think the high court is especially kind to Trump, the actual rate of success leans toward a "conservative" issue - not so much Trump's wants and desires. 

The public, on the other hand, thinks Trump has "gotten away with murder."

The remainder of his term of office will be quite telling!

We must be constantly on guard as we sift through the tall weeds, prickly shrubs and bramble bushes of the unscrupulous "Trump Organization!" 

Maybe, we should throw in corrupt and crooked-as-a-dog's- hind leg, too!

By his screw-ups, he'll be brought down!

John Watson

A pitifully meagar and inadequate showing of work for his first Ninety-One days in office: One-Hundred Twenty-Four Executive Orders signed; and Five Bills signed!

And then we get into his gigantic Cabinet screw-ups and side-shows! Of course, we all knew he had chosen the worst of the bunch and that is exactly what kind of work we are getting from them. The "boss" of the entire Pentagon has released plans through an "open messaging line" to nearly the world about our military plans as to how and what exact time we were going to attack an adversary. . . it also included letting his wife and brother in the the battle plans!  Arrogance can do strange things to a man, and this man is overflowing with it!

This, by the way, is the second time in two+ weeks he has released highly secret information that could have been the kind of leakeage that could have easily gotten our pilots killed! 

Stay tuned to see if our fearless, arrogant, top man at our Pentagon still has his job!

I now have to go sit in a closet and calm down before I tell you about the rest of his insane national security bone-head moves.

America Is No More!

 First, they came for the People of Color, but I was not a person of color, so I did not speak up for them.  Then, they came for the homosexuals, but I was not a homosexual, so I did not speak up for them. Then they came for the Muslims, but I was not a Muslim,  so I did not speak up for them. Then they came for the Mexicans, but I was not a Mexican, so I did not speak up for them. Then they came for me. . . and there was no one left to speak up for me.

America is not a very nice place to live anymore. You utter a slip of the tongue and you could wake up in a violent jail in some distant country. You see, the current administration has tossed out our  Rule of Law and the president and his cabinet have taken over. Today, they told America they will consider sending Americans who get in trouble with our law to a foreign prison.

If you are a political blogger like me, it is a very dangerous hobby. And, it is a hobby I've decided is unhealthy to "swim upstream" against, every day. Plus, the look on the faces of those MAGA piranha are very convincing. 

MAGA politics is getting very serious and even deadly, at times. They have their hearts set on converting America into an authoritarian/dictatorial/autocratic nation and at my age, and with family, I have no fight left in me. Recently, the sister of one of our U.S. Supreme Court Justices was threatened with a pipe bomb in her mail box.  The threat was from "someone who didn't like the decision handed down against the president." That is too much!

Maybe some day things will be different -  a country worth fighting for again! But not now. I can compromise my beliefs to some extent - but not to this extent! Nobody can call what we are living under a democracy today! Not in anyway! We're living in the 1930s Germany.

1930s Germans sat on their hands, too. 

A Forest of Gullibles

 The Tale of Trump as a Tree Chopper

The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe;

for the axe was clever and convinced the trees

that because his handle was made of wood

he was one of them.

Turkish Proverb

The story of eons ago, and, evidently, it still works. Trump has been using it on his followers for years and it never seems to fail him. Not only does it work on his "forest of block heads," but it also helps if the wood chopper is a block head, too!

We need to think back to how we got into this mess with him. It seemed like all of his "base" of supporters dropped out of the sky one day and began worshiping at his feet. Even those who held elected offices fell prostrate before him and they haven't stood up for America since! 

One day, the "trees" will realize that the axeman's handle isn't the only thing made of wood. They'll find out that his head was made of a "lower quality Number 2 Common" two-by-four.

And that's the tale from the "nutty" pine lumber mill!

FIVE AM PHILOSOPHER

Our Nation's Address. . .

 It Seemed We Only Looked Away For  A Moment

Three months and Thirteen days ago, the MAGA brought forth upon this nation a new enemy, conceived in dishonor and dedicated to the belief that all men are not created equal.

Now it is possible that we are about to engage in the beginning of another great civil war, testing whether this nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, 

can long endure. 

We may be, today, meeting on a future battlefield of that war. We have, therefore, come to dedicate a portion of this field, as a final resting place for those who here gave lives that this nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

April 13, 2025

Two minds; One goal

Trump's Executive Order No. 368,329

This is the most important Executive Order he will sign this week. It will give him absolute power to ignore any Rule of Law he doesn't like, rewrite the Constitution to suit his own thoughts, and replace anyone's name that appears in the Declaration of Independence with his own name.

In addition, the Oval Office will be, from this day forward, the "Trump Stink Tank,"  Camp David will be renamed "Fort Draft Dodger," and his golden commode will be called "The Liberal's Latrine."

And finally, the last item in Executive Order No. 368,329 reads "If President Trump so chooses, he may run for a third term."

This Executive Order is signed by Donald Trump, President, and counter-signed by Benito Mussolini's spirit. Notice how similar their signatures are and how similar the manner of rule was. 

He always leaves us guessing. . .

 TRUMP'S  TERRIBLE  TARIFFS

What happened today is anyone's guess. At approximately 10:00 a.m. on April 9, 2025, the stock market came back to life and began spitting out numbers close to what President Biden used to champion!

And, they kept going up. 

It was finally reported on television that Trump had "paused" his  daily fun of monkeying around with his "Terible Tariffs." As soon as he did, the Dow numbers began rising like a hot air balloon!

That brought in a slew of stock brokers, financial advisors, and analysists to tell us what happened. Surprisingly, the least easily understood of them made the most sense. 

Did something shady happen in the Oval Office this morning? Were there a contingency of Republican members of congress ready to do an about-face on the president? Was the Republican Party beginning to take a more serious head count for next year's Mid-Term electionx across the country? Did the president see rough waters ahead for his tarrif wars? Did the president realize he was in deep water with the tarrifs and did a speedy free-style swim back to a friendlier and safer shore!

The real story will undoubtedly come out soon. Those in the know are keeping quiet for now, but they act like they are beginning to see blood in the water.

This might be interesting, or it might be just another time the president sneaks out of town - unscathed!

The nit-wit and the other guy

I have stumbled upon the ultra-secret location of the president's two-holer war room. 

I understand he goes there to gather his thoughts about the tariff war he began. He has often referred to this site as where he does his very best thinking. The design affords him a chance to take his good buddy, Elon, with him. Together, they are plotting the overthrow of the country and then come up with blueprints for an autocratic government. 

Such a government is a system where absolute and unlimited power is concentrated in the hands of one individual who will make all decisions without any restraints. An exception would be if Donald Trump wanted to help him in some way.

Two-holers are conducive to making such meetings practical. They can conduct their business meeting and conduct their "business"  at the same time. 

However, the nitwit and the other guy must always remember that the biggest rear-end will always get to  use  the biggest hole!

When their meeting is adjourned, the rear end will head back to his work of dismantling our government and the other guy will be left to dig a new hole to relocate the war room. 

This story was told to me by the Speaker of the House and I have always found him to be truthful - and extremely handy with a shovel. 

Our nation is under a death vigil

In the beginning, the United States of America did its best to make a more perfect union. But who could have imagined a guy like Trump would catch the cockeyed eye of our voters?

Our founders designed an Executive Branch which is the  president and vice-president. They supervise and work with the support of the White House staff. George Washington was inaugurated as the first president on April, 3, 1789. FAILED!

The Legislative Branch was designed to work as one unit called the Congress, but with two houses: The U.S. House and the U.S. Senate. It was designed to work in tandem and as a check-and-balance with each other. FAILED MISERABLY!

The Judicial Branch gives the final decisions on legal matters from lower courts to the Supreme Court. The impartial justices give "supreme" rulings for any cases that come before them.  FAILED!

Every branch has worked toward a more perfect union. FAILED!

On Friday, Jan. 20, 2017, Donald Trump was elected president and the "wheels came off of the  train."  After that train wreck, on Jan. 20, 2021, the people voted to replace Trump with Joe Biden as president for a peaceful and highly successful four years. Without a clue as to why, the foolish voters returned Trump to office on Jan. 20, 2025, after a peaceful and highly successful four years of President Joe Biden. FAILED!

Since Jan. 20, 2025, our nation has been on a "death vigil" around the clock. We are about as close to rigor mortis as one can get and and still be called "alive." FAILED!

So, we have a glitch in the design of the greatest democracy on earth. Or, maybe it would be more correct to say we have a glitch with the quality of voters at our disposal. FAILED!

George Washington probably didn't have to deal with voters who had to decide whether to live under a wannabe king , or not.  Ahhh, wait a minute. I guess they did have to decide whether to live under a real king or not!

Damn! Well, our constitution should say, "We the people, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and never ever vote for another Trump!

Step on the land mine - or go home

The Justice Department attorneys are struggling to defend the policies of the president's deportation sham

 The foreboding moors behind the Attorney General's office was unsettling. A sense of something bad or unpleasant was about to happen. The policies of the president were getting harder to defend for the Attorney General's staff of lawyers. Attorney General Pam Bondi roams the night as a spirit of one who has sold her soul to the devil for her job. She has promised her undying loyalty to the president, but she may not be able to deliver.  What shall she do?

The nagging question is mired in the undefensible law that the president has resurrected from the Alien Enemy Act and tied it to deportations of people he doesn't like living in America. It was used for times when we were at war. Bondi's staff of attorneys are finding that law, however, cannot be defended and one of them admitted such in court.  He/she was summarily removed from his/her job. 

Bondi is now between a rock and the president's hard head.

What will happen?  

Stay tuned and see how the cute little blond will get out of this.

Are you about "tapped out," too?

How can an insignificant word like "Tariff" cause a country the importance of The United States of America to turn the world upside-down, inside-out and ready to go to war?

I have lived in America for nearly ninety years and I don't think I've ever paid much attention to what a tariff even is. As a matter of fact, it takes an economics profesor to explain the word and an attorney with a doctorate in world trade dialog to explain why it is, evidently, so damn important to we mutton-headed folks of the nation!

Of course, the first thing the television news networks do is bring in a pointy-headed man or woman from some Wall Street financial firm who starts explaining, beginning at Yale third-year Business Class and instantly puts us to sleep!

What I don't understand at all is, "How did Donald Trump become an expert at explaining a tariff so well. He has every country up in arms and ready to go to war with us. I heard that he doesn't even read!

Heck, he even had some tiny islands in the middle of nowhere in on the tariff thing. . . and they are uninhabited!  Some have a "raft" of penguins (in the water) or a "waddle" of penguins  (on the land), but no human beings! Figure that out!

So do penguins know how to write out those checks to Trump?

Never mind, I'll just wait for somebody to tell me what I owe and pay it when I can. 

One other thing. . . can someone find another word than Tariff for this global "money grab?"

How about we call it "Trump's Golf Kitty?"

The Voice of a Texan is Astounding

A Nazi Joseph Goebbels Quote

In Our

U.S. House of Representatives

First-term Republican U. S. congressman KEITH SELF (R-Texas)  appalled Democrats at a congressional hearing by  quoting the infamous Nazi Joseph Goebbels. The direct quote was, "It is the absolute right of the state to supervise the formation of public opinion."  Self added, "and I think that may be what we're discussing here." 

Goebbels was the minister of propaganda for the Third Reich under Adolf Hitler. His role was to convince the German people to support Hitler's regime.

So, why did Rep. Self think the congressional  hearing was the place to discuss the infamous Goebbels' nauseating words of Nazism? Quoting Goebbels anywhere is troubling, but in our Capitol is tantamount to a treasonous act! (Self is a retired, 25-year Lt. Col. Army paratrooper.)

This Republican may have chosen the right words to impress the other Republicans in the room, but I rather doubt he will ever see a second term in office. That is, of course, assuming that Texas keeps moving to the left. 

Congressman Self is most certainly not alone in the House. And I assume we will hear of no words of condemnation from the Speaker, either!

A side note:  Rep. Keith Self had originally voted against Mike Johnson for Speaker of the House until he got a call from Trump  - which quickly changed his mind. . .  and his vote!
