I am a travel writer, aged like Parmesan cheese but still just as versatile. My stories are like tiramisu – a bittersweet mix of layers. My soul is like a Barolo, once young, improved with time (or so I tell myself).
Do I really have to believe the action of these 6 senators was all for the greater good. Is there some plan behind this that I cannot see yet?

Years and years ago, after I married a US citizen, I was urged by US consuls to immigrate time and again and give up my Dutch passport to become American. They couldn't understand why I refused. Now I know. Because if I had, it could be taken away from me and I would become stateless.

Will we have to worry about people born outside the US losing their US citizenship? And do I have to worry about my SS because I am not a US citizen and do not live in the US? Should I not even mention this as it might wake up a sleeping dog?

So Giorgia Meloni went to see Trump. One thing you can be sure of, she knows how to talk to mob bosses.

Been saying this for years, now the Chinese said it: “The US is not getting ripped off, the problem is the US has been living beyond its means for decades. It consumes more than it produces. It has outsourced its manufacturing and borrowed to have a higher standard of living."

I just finished reading Heather Cox's last newsletter and it was very disturbing to the point that I felt "I have to do something", set up a resistance group or something. Then I started to watch Bill Mahers report of his lunch with Trump, who couldn't stop saying how nice he was. Really?

So Putin says to Trump: Lets get Ukraine to have new elections, which we will fix, get Zelensky out and a pro Russia guy in, and then we'll settle the peace deal, that we will give you all the credit for.
Trump: Fine with me, I'll set it up when he comes to the White House.

So this is really what it is all about, bit late coming to the surface, while keeping us all on the 'landgrabbing Putin' track. The US just pretending to be ideological was a bit farfetched anyway. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

Is Trump wrong? Numbers say EU + UK spent more on Ukraine war effort than the US over the last 3 years. No reason to keep EU out of peace talks with Russia. And certainly no reason why US should benefit from Ukraine's minerals. www.corriere.it/economia/fin...

Americans keep saying that they are a rich, maybe the richest, country in the world. But that is not true, by many standards, the US is a poor country, it has just allowed some people to become extremely wealthy.

What happened to 'equal justice for all', no more than a slap on the wrist and a 'god bless, go about your business'. Nothing about the contempt of court. How is anybody going to believe this. Did this judge finally bend in the strong headwind? I am so disappointed.
