Tea and Vitriol

Yawn.  Another election is over and the results have been completely underwhelming. When the smoke cleared. the battle lines remained pretty much the same as before.  Democrats and Republicans kept pretty much what they already had and made no real inroads into the other's territory. America is just as divided and polarized as it has been for years and that is really not going to change any time soon. While this was an off-year election, featuring local, parochial issues, President Donald Trump endorsed several Republican candidates, especially in the Democrat-dominated states of Virginia and New Jersey. They both lost, illustrating The Donald's impotence and lack of influence in purely local elections. This was especially evident in the race for New York City mayor. The Donald bluntly despised the candidacy of far-left leaning Democrat Zohran Mamdani, labeling him a Communist and an illegal alien, threatening to halt all federal aid to New York City if he were elected. The th...

 Yawn. The far left woke progressives are at it again. They're revolting. They certainly are. And they are protesting across America. Again. This can be quite amusing if it weren't for the huge amounts of litter they leave in their wake, which they regard as collateral damage for bringing their "message" to the people. And maybe getting interviewed by the local liberal news media. And their "message?" Why, that legally elected President Donald Trump is acting like a king. Or a dictator. Or a tyrant. Because they don't agree with his policies or actions. What they have failed to realize is that the majority of American DO agree with The Donald's actions, or at least some of them, and the protesters are only attracting others of their far left woke progressive ilk. True, several million protesters all across America are expected to participate in what I can only describe as romantic self-indulgence, perpetrated only to impress themselves with the numbe...

 Kamelhead Harris has written a book? Supposedly. She is claiming authorship of "107 Days," recalling her extremely brief campaign for the presidency of the United States AFTER senile horse's ass Sloppy Joe Biden was pressured into abandoning his re-election campaign. That occurred only because of his incredibly piss poor showing during his internationally televised debate with The Donald . If any thinking individuals had any doubts about Sloppy Joe's competence before, that one debate effectively ended them. So, without a primary, a need to save face and to prove that they had faith in their DEI hire for the 2020 presidential race, the Democratic National Committee shoved Kamelhead into the presidential candidate slot. Kamelhead's campaign until the election lasted 107 days, hence the title of "her" book. Which most people doubt that she had written herself. She is now touring America to promote "her" book and making the liberal talk-show cir...

One definition of stupidity is "To repeat the same failed actions numerous times but expecting a different and successful result this time." The European Commission's head honcho and tough titty Ursula von der Leyen announced yesterday that she was imposing a 19th package of sanctions against Putin's Russia. This is supposed to somehow help to end Russia's war of aggression in the Ukraine. And the previous 18 package of sanctions against Putin's Russia? What did they accomplish? Why, absolutely nothing. Putin is winning the war in Ukraine. He has been unimpressed by the babbling of western European "democracies" since he forcibly annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014, and despite all 18 ensuing packages of sanctions, the European Union STILL does business with Russia, either directly or in a roundabout way. For that matter, so does the United States. So, what will the 19th package of sanctions do to hurt Russia? Why, absolutely nothing. And that is the...

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is effectively dead. Conceived to prevent further Soviet expansion in Europe and bankrolled largely by the United States, it was merely a paper tiger and rarely effective anywhere. It took NATO a good long time to counter Serbia's genocide against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo at the turn of the 21st century, while it ignored Serbia's similar attempts at genocide against Muslims in Bosnia Herzegovina (ethnic cleansing) just a few years earlier. Go figure. One can argue that neither case involved states or territories that were part of NATO, yet NATO ignored the one case but involved itself in the second. Which, quite frankly, could provide NATO with an excuse to intervene in Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine. If they had the balls to. Which they don't. Then, after 9-11 in the US, then President George W. Bush called upon NATO to make war against the terrorists based in Afghanistan who perpetrated that outrage. The result wa...

First of all, The Donald never solved any wars that he has taken credit for, which doesn't stop him from repeating that lie. Perhaps he hopes that if he repeats it enough it will become fact. We know that he is a narcissistic megalomaniac and a blowhard, ready to speak his mind in season and out, refusing to be influenced by the facts. Which means that he is delusional as well. Secondly, while he can bully weaker countries (most larger states do, whether or not you care to admit that), he has run into brick walls with China , India , Brazil and now Venezuela , who are not cowed by The Donald's tariff antics and saber-rattling. India, in particular, has faced The Donald's wrath for NOT bowing down to his demand that they cease purchasing Russian oil . They have been offended by The Donald's statement that India is responsible for the war in Ukraine by buying Russian oil and therefore keeping Russia's economy able to continue its military campaign. Never mind the fa...

It is the stuff of which high farce is made. One week ago, The Donald met with Russia's Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska. The purpose was to discuss Putin's war against Ukraine. Apart from Putin reiterating his demands for ending the war for the umpteenth time in public, on American soil, it accomplished nothing more than providing a photo op. So, death and destruction in Ukraine will continue. While The Donald hailed this meeting as "successful," "10 out of 10," all it did was show the world who the more powerful leader was. It wasn't The Donald. Then, heady with failure, The Donald got on the phone with Ukraine's Zelenskyy and summoned him to Washington DC in two days, informing him to wear a suit this time. The Donald and his cronies made much of the fact that Zelenskyy didn't wear a suit at the February ambush and sent Zelenskyy packing for not being suitably grateful or humble enough for previous US aid. Zelenskyy was also able to bring s...
