LOOK, LEARN & VOTE
Things are getting worse, as Trump does to America what he did to his casinos, airline, and the long list of failed ventures that followed. He is spending our money on policies and monuments for himself (ballroom, arch, renovating reflecting pool…) that weaken the country while driving us deeper into debt. And as always, Trump…

TAPA # 194 CHOICES!!!
Watching the Secretary of Defense’s recent testimony before Congress raises a fundamental question: what are the priorities of this administration and Republicans and who benefits from them? Priorities are choices. Nations, like individuals, choose what to value: to feed or to starve, to fight or to negotiate, to build or to destroy, to heal or…

TAPA # 193 WHO’D A THOUGHT???
TAPA (The American Poseidon Adventure) #192 was titled “Stupidity on Display.” But after listening to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch report on the Comey indictment, even that feels like an understatement. This latest episode doesn’t just match #192—it surpasses it. The predicate for the indictment is, frankly, preposterous. A photograph of seashells arranged on a…

TAPA # 191 STUPIDITY ON DISPLAY
If you want the best coverage of the shooting at the press dinner and the aftermath watch THE DAILY SHOW with John Stewart. It displays the feebleness of the press and the vile stupidity of the Trump administration. ‘Real Life’ has a way of stripping away the patina of competence. You must laugh as the…

TAPA # 191 LET’S KEEP IT REAL
The attack on the White House Correspondents Dinner was sad, but not surprising. The tenor of violence in America has been ramped up over the past few years. The data illustrates the uptick of political violence since 2016, and I don’t need to detail why. It is very apparent. What is also sad and a…

TAPA # 190 TRUMP’S, THE BAD AND THE UGLY
Just returned from two weeks away and read the attached article, which highlights the face of Trump’s America. A face that, abroad, vacillates between farce and tragedy. The question many now ask as they watch the labile character of America under Trump is simple: What happened to America? Every day the storyline changes, but the reality of…

OUR EXISTENTIAL CHALLENGE
Read the Atlantic attached article and if you have access to the Wall Street Journal the article “Behind Trump’s Public Bravado. We have an out of touch, emotionally unstable and incompetent leader. If you have time read about the intensive recruiting effort of the FBI and DOJ to backfill the multitude of professional staff who…

TAPA # 189 OXYMORONIC
First let me say I’m thankful for the reprieve and I’ll gladly take the TACO However, Iran’s regime and uranium remain in place. The Strait of Hormuz is now restricted, with possible tolls that could cost the world billions. More than $50 billion in U.S. treasure has been spent. Russia and Iran continue selling oil,…

TAPA# 188 TRUMP’S FINAL SOLUTION???
“A whole civilization will die tonight.” That is what our president, the supposed leader of the “free world,” posted today. I do not believe the U.S. military will carry out such an inhumane and criminal action. But the very fact that the president would publicly signal indifference to war crimes should set off a five-alarm…
