2 PM Christmas day 2025 in downtown Toronto. Apart from the low hum of an idle city and the bells tolling the hour, I'm home alone and can hear nothing at all. A surprise moment of silence and balance in a very unbalanced year.
A wish of inner peace and kindness to everyone who reads this!

It might not be obvious, but the Trump class of battleships is 100% hallucination. No ships will ever be built. People haven't built battleships in 80 years because they are as useful as cavalry.

The world’s biggest welfare system? The US defence budget. It shovels taxpayers money to corporate profits in an enormous wealth transfer grift.

A key to Trump's rage at Comey et. al. is because he knows he had to lie cheat and steal to get ahead and thinks everyone else does the same. It infuriates him that he gets charged and they don't. He knows they are guilty because he knows he is guilty.

There was an important shift in US politics in the last 2 weeks. Trans people used to salt for the red meat. Now they are the meat.

The biggest winner so far in Trump 2.0? Richard Nixon's reputation.

Trump is moving much faster than most dictators to consolidate power. He's has to be in complete control before the economy tanks, the mid-terms, and everything about Epstein gets leaked.

Besides Trump's coup, the Supreme Court is doing the same thing. "Reasons? We don't need no stinking reasons." Lower courts don't ask questions about the shadow docket, they simply obey it.

Its appalling how many people on Bluesky are victim blaming and indulging in whattaboutism. Political violence helps Trump and provides him opportunities.

The worst thing that could happen from the Kirk murder is a tit for tat cycle of political violence. That almost guarantees a dictatorship.

I sure hope Charlie Kirk isn't Trump's Reichstag fire. And political violence is always wrong. It can't help anything.

One reason the Americans are so insistent about Europe spending more on defense is the belief it will have to be spent on American weapons. A wealth transfer via defense contracting.

Soon tariffs will be a dirty word in the USA. Trump will call them a Biden conspiracy to wreck the economy and spoil Trump's golden moment.

This redistricting is bad. Changing the system to get what you want is the kind of ingle interest thinking that wrecks countries.

The Wall Street Jounal suit is insane. What's going to happen when they start discovery? Spoiler: the smoke is coming from fire.

Right now it feels tantalizingly close to that moment when Trump's political instinct and political reality part ways. Like the rolling pebbles before a landslide.
I've been hopeful before, but this seems like he's right on the brink of being seen as the old, unhealthy asshole he really is.

I'm willing to bet the Grand Jury transcripts allowed little or no reference to 3rd parties. The first thing he gives away will be worthless.

I've always despised the Wall Street Journal's editorial board since the days of Richard Nixon and the Vietnam War.
But their news division is amazing. Very trustworthy reporting. If they say Trump wrote a letter, he did. And they can prove it in any court 12 times over.

Not into conspiracy theories, but it was a mystery where Epstein's money really came from. I expected it would eventually come out. Hopefully that's where we are. I have no theories, just questions.
