Trump has fired General Charles Q. Brown, a 40-year veteran of the Air Force. General Brown made the fatal mistake of being named Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff while being black. He is a native Texan and a graduate of Texas Tech.

The Trump family is busy enriching itself since the pater familias began his second term. Amazon is paying Melania $40 million for a documentary about her life, and she has issued her own crypto currency. Trump has made at least $100 from his, and they have signed contracts to build 3 new hotels.

King Donald I may think he no longer has to worry about public opinion since he is now the sole sovereign of the United States, but maybe he should run that by the ghost of King George III.

This just in: Trump is planning to dissolve the independent U S Postal Service and fold it into his administration. I wonder if our mail-in votes will be counted in future elections? He has also fired thousands of IRS employees.

The latest Gallup poll shows that Trump is under water 45-51%. He is behind the curve on all the major issues. If we look at his key issues, he is even worse off. . Maybe he plans to compete in platform diving in the next Olympics.

King Donald is so omnipotent, so omniscient, and so omnipresent that he is going to set traffic policies for our nation's cities. You might as well go ahead and declare your divinity, King Donald.

Pretty soon institution in this country - national defense, economy, education, our health, and our system of justice - will be solely dependent on the whims of one 78-year-old man. If Trump fails, he takes our country down with him.

March 1941- Businessman Donald Trump has just become US President. "I have just spoken with Chancellor Hitler. We both agree that Poland could have stopped this war but chose not to. Further aid to the Allied Powers is stopped immediately. This is not our fight," said President Trump yesterday."

I have been watching the news on MSNBC, and sometimes CNN, for over 20 years. I don't imagine they'll be on the air much longer. No dictator can afford to allow citizens the rights of free speech and the unrestricted exchange of ideas. Welcome to Trump World.

Elon Musk's posse of software engineers now has access to our Social Security records, and soon they will be going through our tax records. Why does Emperor Trump want access to all our personal information? So he can totally control every aspect of our lives.

Elon Musk has no right, legal or otherwise, to see our tax records. He may decide to freeze all refunds, at least temporarily. Trump may be the Emperor of the West, but his popularity is about to plummet if he doesn't reign in his hatchet man.

I used to think that the future of the Democratic Party lay with traditional politicians like Joe Biden, Barack Obama, etc. I think now we will never return to power unless we embrace left-wing populism similar to that of the new President of Mexico. Traditional, status quo politics is dead.

Donald Trump reworded a quote from Napoleon, saying "If it saves the country it isn't illegal." Between about 3 and 6.5 million people died during the Napoleonic Wars, and France was bankrupted. Both Napoleon and Trump had no regard for freedom and the rule of law.

If you are a conservative you expect the federal government to do a lot of things efficiently for you. When you file your taxes you expect to get your refund on time. When you file a Medicare claim you expect it to be processed. Some reports say Trump plans to fire 75% of all federal employees

The Trump tariffs, is fully implemented, will hurt the Texas economy. In 2024, Texas paid $7.2 billion in tariffs. If all the proposed Trump tariffs are imposed, this would jump to $64 billion.

Corrupt, Unqualified, Venial, Greedy, Crooked, Mendacious, Traitorous, Medicore, Insane - Just a few of the adjectives that may be used to describe President Trump's Cabinet. Not exactly comparable to the team of rivals that helped President Lincoln win the Civil War.

The proposed GOP budget calls for a $4 trillion increase in the debt ceiling so they can massively increase defense spending. I'm sure they will pay for this by massively cutting Social Security and Medicare spending. Maybe they plan to give billions more to Elon Musk so he can reach Mars by 2030..

Elon Musk has announced that he has uncovered waste, fraud, and abuse in the Social Security payments system. Will the president say he is halting all Social Security payments until the system in cleaned up? More than half my retirement income is from SS. If he halts my payments he will destroy me.

Donald Trump says he is going to remove the bike lanes from all the streets in New York City. How is he going to do this? Is he going to send US Marshalls into the city to order workers to remove the bike lanes? Trump wants us to know that there is only one boss in this country now.

President Trump made a startling announcement last night. He is going to send American troops into Gaza. He wants to evict all the Palestinians from Gaza and build luxury hotels and resorts along the coast. If he does this, pretty soon we will be involved in a shooting war in the Middle East.

There's an old saying that if you put two economists in a room they will have three points of view on any issue. There are approximately 32,000 economists in the US, and they are almost 100% in agreement that tariffs raise prices for consumers.
