Every day reinforces the fact that the president of the US is narcissist with zero empathy. Today's evidence is Trump's post on Truth Social in response to the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife.

Damn. This is what it would have sounded like if Ian Anderson had played the recorder rather than the flute.

The presidential pardon power needs to be eliminated or at the very least limited to commuting sentences rather than outright pardons.

As Robin Westman, the Minnesota catholic school shooter, had "Breivik" painted on one of his guns, a reference to a Norwegian neo-nazi mass killer, I'm predicting the FBI's domestic terrorism investigation will die a quiet death.

The shortsighted thinking of the administration continues to amaze me. They have imposed tariffs on imported food while also arresting those who harvest the food grown in the US. Imported food will become more expensive due to tariffs. And domestic food prices will increase due to lower production.

The fact that the political or religious viewpoint of the guy who ambushed and killed two firefighters in Idaho have not been released leads me to believe the shooter is a white male and most likely politically conservative and probably Christian. We would have been told if they were not.

South Asia is on the cusp of a major conflagration and to calm things down, the US government can only field a JV team led by Marco Rubio.

The fact that the MAGA right is melting down over the ascension of Pope Leo XIV, calling him a 'Marxist' and 'woke' is a clear sign the Pope is on the side of the marginalized.

I received yet another tonedeaf email from the Democrats telling me what bad things the GOP is doing, and asking for money. It's like the only action the Dems can imagine is asking for donations.
Free tip to the Dems:
Stop asking for money and start doing something tangible.

My fear is that Trump throws Musk under the bus (which he will) and everyone goes home thinking they've won and that US democracy has been saved.
People need to keep protesting until Trump is gone and all his executive orders have been rescinded.

I predict that the tariffs will fail in a way not loudly spoken of.
Tariffs will weaken foreign currencies vs. the $ at a rate roughly equivalent to the imposed tariffs on that country. This will leave the cost of their goods in the US roughly unchanged, and US goods even more expensive.
