It doesn’t have to be citizens v. #ICE, unless, of course, they make it that way.

So now, #Trump, who wants to shoot protesters in this country and who revels in their deaths, wants to “protect” #protesters in #Iran? It makes sense as the criminal who upholds the rule of law and the swindler who prosecutes imagined #fraud.

A whole kennel of dogs (with #Trump holding all the leashes) are now wagging, barking, too, yet, despite all the noise, the #resistance must try to skirt the pack and make it to the end of the street.

Unfortunately, the tragedy in #Minneapolis is for everyone.

Can #Maduro apply for deportation given that he entered the United States illegally?

Looks like Trump may both seize #Greenland and kill #NATO in one move. He’s always wanted both. But what he gets in return he won’t like except the crown of the western hemisphere.

World beware: #Trump will do anything to avoid talking about the #economy, #inflation, the cost of living, how Americans are struggling by. Venezuela wags the dog?

#Censorship is about control which is what #Trump wants but his bent is even more perverse than what is typically implied by censorship. There is an absolute quality about this #dictator that is frightening. He seems to want to possess everything personally as in to hell with everyone else.

All along #Trump has moved toward breaking #America. To glorify himself? To enrich himself? It’s all extremely perverse. More than just a #dictator, is he also a #sociopath?

Can #megalomania and #narcissism become so extreme that they turn into outright insanity? At what point are other people more victimized than the subject of insanity? Have we crossed that line, the big one, the point of no return? #Trump is plenty bonkers but is he actually insane?

Neither #love nor minds should be narrow; constrained, these produce the kind of reprehensible bigotry broadcast by Charlie #Kirk. This is not to celebrate his death because all political #violence is wrong but likewise wrong is the condemnation of human beings for exercising their #humanity.
September 18, 2025 at 8:47 PM
I have no job to lose and no celebration of death to proffer. But I would sacrifice a great deal of self-respect if I failed to condemn both political #violence, regardless of its origin, and the disrespect for human beings repeatedly and shamelessly espoused by Charlie #Kirk.

Sociologist Howard Odum recognized the inherent value of all people: ““…in proportion as they fail[,] American #democracy and civilization fail.” That’s a big problem for everyone. #Doom on the horizon through ignorance and willful disregard? Could well be the #history we’re making now.

That “fist” that #Trump likes to raise is really nothing but a small folded hand. And a weak one if people would stop believing otherwise.
September 12, 2025 at 12:33 AM
Besides being noxious propaganda (a pack of performative lies) #FoxNews is an endless conniption fit, a hissy fit writ national.

$200,000 for 90,000 square feet of #ballroom? Can’t be. Must be a hangar for this $400,000 gifted airplane.

For a while, #thought leaders were heard. Now, #influencers get attention which seems to be their purpose. Personally, I would rather read and think, ending up the better for it if not richer. I believe better survives this life. Richer is for the soil.

#Trump is clarifying much including timelines with his #MAGA #tariff and pulling lots of loose threads together into the rope that will hang us.
July 29, 2025 at 10:54 PM
What we have most to fear about the #economy is loss of the #dollar privilege that is being speeded by the #MAGA #tariff. It will be a process (already under consideration) and will likely hit in time to add to the world #war push.

The Trump Bubble, or What Happens When 2 + 2 = 5
A friend said to me that I should give everyone a little update on where I think markets and the economy are at, and about my model…

It honestly pains me to say this because lots of people could get hurt by it (but they will be hurt even more when it plays out): countries should stand up NOW to the #tariff bully rather than wait for the disaster to unfold next year more horribly.
July 29, 2025 at 10:35 PM
An #AI bubble, likely underway currently, coincides with a developing #MAGA or #tariff bubble. This will make for an extremely interesting and unfortunately disastrous period ahead.
July 29, 2025 at 10:31 PM
The #MAGA or #tariff bubble burst is dangerous not only for financial reasons for Americans but the entire world and will intersect with and push the coming world #war.
July 29, 2025 at 10:29 PM
The tulip bubble and the dot com bubble each lasted more than two years. My guess is that the #MAGA bubble or #tariff bubble now underway could hold until early fall of 2026.
