Tea and Vitriol

  Anyone who has ever visited an amusement park, a fun fair or traveling carnival has experienced the thrill of fun house mirrors. These mirrors are so crafted as to distort the images of the viewer into all sorts of weird shapes and sizes. But what happens when the person or object casting their reflections into such a mirror are already pathetic caricatures, like the US government? Does the mirror make their reflections look normal, or even worse? That is the question. Okay! We all know that The Donald is downright crazy! Because he is also the US president, he is downright dangerous. Even worse, as head of the Trump Crime Family, he has enriched them by billions of dollars at the taxpayers' expense, which is a good deal considering how most of his business deals and casinos went bankrupt before he ever even considered running for the presidency. Of course, the Democrats shriek about this, seeming to forget that the Clinton and Biden Crime Families enriched themselves to the tune...

  The Donald is up to his old tricks again. While he fancies himself as Lord God King of the Universe, when crossed The Donald behaves like your typical schoolyard bully: He threatens. Most of the time his threats are empty because he simply does NOT have the power to realize them, but his threats expose the moral bankruptcy of himself, his crime family and his administration. When dealing with the war against Iran, which he and Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu started and cannot win, he stated that he was more than willing to commit war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide to win. Then he stated that he already won the war, which he hasn't. The world has come to see him as a mentally unstable, pathological liar whose credibility has vanished and cannot be trusted. And an oversexed, incontinent liar at that, surrounded by a shady group of henchmen and henchwomen wo, like The Donald, have no grasp of economics on any scale, nor history, nor diplomacy or even decency and manne...

I think that by now all but the most completely brainwashed Americans have recognized the moral bankruptcy of The Donald's second administration. The Donald himself is a bully, a war monger, a braggart and a pathological liar, claiming victory in his and Benny's war against Iran which they have clearly lost and peace is further way than ever. He and his cabinet can best be described as international war criminals, crying foul and accusing others of flouting international law which never hindered their own international actions. The Trump dynasty itself can be best described as a "Crime Family," whose practices of corruption have exceeded even the Clinton and Biden Crime Families. One might say that that the Trump Crime Family came to its predilection for corruption "honestly." Given the antics of The Donald's grandfather and father, one might say that criminal behavior is in their genes. It's in their nature and therefore cannot help it. Even worse i...

What a world, what a world, what a world! Let's face it, America's presidential throne has been occupied by a yutz  parade of morons, sex pigs, criminals and con artists since it was vacated by George Bush pere  in 1992. Each has been worse than the last, allowing for the American people to become desensitized to the peccadillos of each occupant, polarizing and dividing the electorate to the point of hysteria. This is one of the reasons that the Clinton, Biden and Trump crime families have been allowed to exist and thrive. People accuse previous administrations of having been bad to justify currents ones for being arguably worse. It's politics, baby, and to the victors belong the spoils, which is true enough for both Democrat and Republican politicians from the local to the national level. It accounts for the existence of multi-millionaire Congressmen, Senators and their toadies who infest the swamp known as Washington DC. The ultimate and inevitable expression of this has ...

  Larry the Cat, Mouser in chief at Number 10 Downing Street, has just welcomed his seventh Prime Minister in his 15 years in residence there. That is no mean feat. Far more popular than any of the official political residents at Number 10, Larry the Cat has seen it all. From the yutz  parade of Conservative Prime Ministers to the black comedy of "Sir" Keir Starmer's quick rise and fall, despite the historic victory of the Labour Party in 2024, Larry the Cat has endured and survived them all. So, what does he make of it? Probably not much. The Disunited Kingdom has been a state of political, social and economic crisis even before Larry's residence there, but it really only came to a head with the asininity of Brexit from the European Union and the ineptitude of the Conservatives' handling of COVID. Their inability to provide any real solutions to the resultant cost of living crisis cost the Conservatives control of the British Government in the 2024 general electi...

July 4, 2026, is the 250th anniversary of the Second Continental Congress adopting the Declaration of Independence, which broke with the United Kingdom and ended its dominion over the 13 American colonies. It is, therefore, America's 250th birthday. Yet, as an American, I cannot get worked up about it. I am old enough to remember the Bicentennial. We had just survived the nightmares of the Vietnam War and President Nixon's Watergate scandal, which almost destroyed America and brought the Nixon regime crashing down in ruins. However, the Bicentennial helped put that behind us. It was a celebration of America and Americans, with festivities across our nation celebrating that fact, televised so that people who could not be present would be able to witness them, both here and abroad. The Bicentennial reaffirmed our national pride, illustrating to the world that we had stood on the brink of utter chaos and destruction, only to come back stronger and more united than ever. Even the p...
