Things To Know. . .

(Things To Know. . .)

In talking with President Trump, he will make things clear. He will tell you that he won all swing stats. He won the popular vote by millions. Trump has been saying that he is dealing with horrible people. That President Biden is incompetent and Truup has been cleaning his mess. Paet of that mess were all the criminal illegal aliens. Some are being sent to El Salvador. But some federal judges. Trump has said that these jurists are un-fair and should be impeached.


The President can seem thin skinned at times. He is imposing tariffs because the United States is being treated so un-fairly by other nations like Canada and Mexico, China, Europe and so on. His mission seems to be a personal slight rather than policy. Like because he was almost killed, twice, because he had been impeached, twice, Donald Trump believes that he is on a Mission from God.


Someone should tell him this is not The Blues Brothers. To be honest, it can be dangerous for a politician to believe he is the subject of Divine Intervention. He knows he is still popular as the reaction of the crowd the other night at that UFC bout in Philadelphia could attest. However, all the things the President says he is or thinks he is, he is not an oligarch. That would be Greek for "rule by a few."


Who are the few ? Trump and Musk ? The Trump Cabinet ? The Oligarchic term is being used by the leftist Congresswoman AOC and Vermont Senator Sanders, both socialists. to describe the current political climate. With the Democrat Party still dis-organized Cortz and Sanders are the loudest voices and if there is to be new Party leadership, it could begin with those two. 


The Trump Administration is not automatically refusing to comply with these varying injunctions, but these rulings are being appealed and the Administration will be seeking remedy from the Supreme Court. It has been SCOTUS that has suggested that impeachment of a federal judge, as President Trump prefers, is best left to the Judiciary.


It is true that President Trump has been pushing Constitutional boundaries, but he has never exceeded his authority. He is all too aware of his Mandate and will re-mind people of that fact when they try to challenge him, be it over-enthusiastic judges or angry legislators. That one would need to know about the President.

TEQUILA !

(TEQUILA !) Happy Cinco de Mayo or May 5th. One can hope that a lot of you out there are awash in inebriation, seeking to mainline tequila shots or enjoying a nice margarita on the patio. Or, in other words, relax. Take a breath. De-compress. May 5th as it happens is the anniversary of Mexico's victory over French "occupation" of Mexico by Emperor Maximillian, brother to Austrian monarch Maria Theresa in what has been called the Battle of Puebla. The reason France was in Mexico in the first place was that Mexico, after the Mexican-American War and a more civil conflict called the Reform War, had bankrupted Mexico City. Mexican President at the time was Benito Juarez, who repudiated all foreign debt, of which France, Spain, and the United Kingdom were all major holders. A naval expedition was dispatched to Veracruz and France's Napoleon III thought it would be a good idea to establish a French "empire" in Mexico. But, on May 5th, 1862, in the aforementioned B...

Keeping The Faith ?

(Keeping The Faith ?) Happy Memorial Day ! This is the day when the nation pauses and recognizes the contributions of the men and women that strove, and often times perished in the defense of this country. How many campaigns and battles have been seen over the years with Americans in harms way. Theirs was not a pursuit of glory, necessarily but they are remembered as such. As an example, take the Joe Rosenthal photo of the "Iwo Jima Flag-raising," February 23rd, 1945. Most people know what that is and not a few have a copy on their wall. Three of those Marines survived Iwo Jima and went on a bond tour to promote that picture. The U.S. was able to fund the rest of the War off of that drive but the Marines in question did not fare well. Private Ira Hayes, the last casualty of the Volcano Island died of exposure some years later. There was one other Marine, Rene Gagnon, and who was originally believed to be Navy Corpman, John Bradley. Since then, the "place" in the Ros...

Prime Garbage ?

(Prime Garbage ?) In the movie Down & Out in Beverly Hills , starring Nick Nolte and Richard Dreyfus, Nolte plays a Beverly Hills bum who gets taken in by Dreyfus' family. Things did not quite work out Nolte went back to the street but he wanted to take the family dog, Nolte was rummaging through some trash and telling the dog this was "prime garbage." For his part, the dog changed his mind and went back to the Dreyfus family. During the Trump event at Madison Square Garden, an opening act comedian made some remark disparaging Puerto Rico, calling it a "island of garbage." Naturally the media went to work, saying it could depress the Puerto Rican vote, especially in Pennsylvania. Then, the Island "Senator" came out and endorsed Trump. But it has been President Biden's comment that the only "garbage he sees" are Trump voters. Reminiscent of Secretary Clinton's "basket of deplorables ?" Is the Biden remark that new standa...
