Trump ordered the bombing of seven countries in 2025, the kidnapping of Venezuela's President and First Lady, and threatened to annex Greenland, Panama, and Canada, rattled his saber at Cuba - and now has a (second hand) Nobel Peace Prize! pa-rocks-ramble.blogspot.com/2026/01/warm...

An attack on Greenland is an attack on Denmark is an attack on NATO is an attack on ourselves and our own security. It would be nice to think we had a President who is smarter than that, but sadly . . . pa-rocks-ramble.blogspot.com/2026/01/stan...

Trump receives a secod hand Nobel Peace Prize. Maybe he'll hang it in his Qatari jumbo jet next to his FIFA Peace Prize. Even Nixon wasn't this embarrassing! Commentary @ pa-rocks-ramble.blogspot.com/2026/01/warm...

I've been around almost eighty years, and this is the ugliest version of America that I have ever witnessed. A pack of rodents with guns.

The US has operated a major Air Base (now a "Space Base") in Greenland for the past 75 years, and we are a member of NATO. Owning Greenland would only serve to stoke Trump's vanity, and, if it caused a break with NATO, would weaken our security! @ pa-rocks-ramble.blogspot.com/2026/01/stan...

Hawley, like Trump, never served in the military, but both are free and easy with other people's children and grandchildren.
Josh Hawley and Todd Young – and 49 other cowards – just voted for continued attack upon a sovereign nation.

A bunch of thugs abusing some unearned and undeserved power. Two or three years ago they were all losers in high school.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Not only is health care in America unaffordable, there are so many hurdles involved that it is often unattainable. But there is plenty of money for ballrooms, a gold-plated Oval Office, and a massive, masked secret gestapo. pa-rocks-ramble.blogspot.com/2026/01/insu...

If they don't pursue public exposure of Trump's latest "GRIFT" then who will? Media?
He owns Fox, Newsmax, NewsNation, Facebook, X & is working on ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN ... as the billionaires bow to their KING.
