When I write articles for my blog, I realize that I have often been naïve. I truly believed that most of the people who read my rants are somewhat informed American citizens. Now I know that I must “speak down” to some of the individuals who choose to read the truth. Steve Bannon. A brief history of this anti-American begins with the 2016 campaign of Donald Trump. In August of 2016, after another woefully unqualified right-wing extremist, Ted Cruz, ended his bid to win the Republican presidential nomination, tech billionaire, Robert Mercer, moved his money, Kellyanne Conway, and Steve Bannon to Trump’s campaign. Bannon would be Trump’s new campaign manager. After his illegitimate win in the Electoral College, Bannon moved into the White House as the chief strategy adviser. It wasn’t long until a tumultuous relationship began between the two arrogant and egotistical men and Bannon was fired in August of 2017. In 2022 Bannon was charged and convicted for defying congress. He had been ord...

    Trump endorsed Mike Johnson to remain Speaker of the House. Initially, co-president, Elon Musk agreed, but later changed his mind. Who is in charge of the former MAGA Republican Party, better known as the American Fascist Party? Texas Republican Congressman Chip Roy is uncertain regarding the leadership of the House, and doubts that Johnson has to votes to win. “I remain undecided, as do a number of my colleagues, because we saw so many of the failures last year that we are concerned about that might limit or inhibit our ability to advance the president’s agenda,” Roy said Tuesday on “Varney & Co.” on Fox Business. Republican Thomas Massie: “I respect and support President Trump, but his endorsement of Mike Johnson is going to work out about as well as his endorsement of Speaker Paul Ryan,” Massie wrote. “We’ve seen Johnson partner with the democrats to send money to Ukraine, authorize spying on Americans, and blow the budget.” Musk re...

I admit to being obsessed. I attempt to follow everything which happens or doesn’t happen in Washington. You may not have noticed, but Elon Musk frequently voices his opinions on multiple issues, and Trump eventually claims that he made the same decision. First, I call bullshit, and second it appears that Musk is the real president and making all of the important decisions. I’m pretty sure Musk doesn’t waste his time chasing a little white ball across the grass and in the sand. Between 2017 and 2021 it was very clear that Vladimir Putin was in charge. Is Musk his protégé? It is more than obvious that Trump’s dementia is advancing, and senility has been an issue for several years. He is too old to be the president of the PTA, nevertheless the leader of more than 340 million people. However, Musk was not on the ballot. What does this mean for America’s future. If our government and the mainstream media were honest, it means that America’s future is in the control of someone who is not an...

Regardless of the claims of men and women who call themselves “Republicans,” it is becoming clearer every day that Elon Musk is in control of the transition of power in Washington. Trump is nothing but an old, obese, con man who is senile and demonstrates a growing level of dementia. At the age of 78, and with an unhealthy diet and no exercise, (Trump even drives his golf cart onto the greens), he is prone to a heart attack or strake at any moment. It is common sense to believe that Trump will not complete a four-year term. The position of the Republican men and women in the House on the moronic debt ceiling debate was obviously dictated by Musk, not by Trump. Trump has no idea how to manage the economy of what politicians claim is “the richest country in the world.” I know that Musk knows nothing about governing 340 million people either. However, unlike Trump, Musk has been a successful businessman, while Trump has never accomplished anything in nearly 80 years. Here's the lie to...

Every year Republicans create a possible government shutdown. The “debt ceiling,” a situation which only exists in America, is an issue which is highly volatile, created by right-wing politicians, although they agreed to the yearly national spending budget at the beginning of the year. There is no other situation which offers irrefutable proof that the government of the United States of America is composed of men and women with a low level of intelligence, incapable of governing 340 million people. The two words which accurately describe the failures taking up space in Washington are ‘incompetent and corrupt.’ There are no “Republican” politicians in our nation’s capital. These pretenders abandoned the principles and morals of the Grand Old Party on January 20, 2017. Not allowed to think for themselves, they obey the demands of Donald Trump without question. However, there is a change in the way decisions are made in 2024. A new player, another self-serving super-rich and incompetent w...
