TAPA # 224 NOT A CHANCE???
NOT A CHANCE? Yesterday, old Bone Spurs blew more hot air, threatening ‘Economic D-Day’, for Iran. Who is he kidding, other than himself? Trump has already alienated many of our allies and, at times, damaged them economically with his tariff buffoonery. Does he really think anyone will respond to these latest threats or, for that…

TAPA # 219 OUR BIGGEST THREAT!!!
Listening to the latest “biggest threat” being spewed by the Squeaker of the House and Trump at his Georgia rally got me thinking about what that accusation really means. The more I examined it, the more it appears that Trump is moving the country toward a system that includes the controlling behaviors associated with communist…

TAPA # 218 EISENHOWER’S ADVICE
Heather Cox Richardson’s latest letter is remarkably relevant to today’s events. As a historian, she carefully fact-checks the claims she makes. Her reference to Dwight D. Eisenhower’s speeches underscores what many Americans are witnessing today. Eisenhower fundamentally asked: What is the proper responsibility of government? Government derives its power from the people, and the money it spends…

TAPA # 217 TO SALUTE OR VOMIT…THAT SHOULD BE THE QUESTION!!!
The salute is a gesture of respect rooted in military history and tradition. Over time it evolved with changes in military dress and custom. It is said that during medieval Europe, knights would raise the visors of their helmets to reveal their faces. As armor disappeared, the gesture became removing or touching one’s hat in…

Three Incredibly Bad Decisions. July…

TAPA # 214 ON FIRE!!!
A DISASTER! A FIVE-BELL ALARM! This morning I woke to learn that two more Americans have lost their lives and another is missing as the conflict with Iran continues to escalate. This is the tragic consequence of President Trump’s ego, recklessness, and poor judgment. He has backed both himself and our nation into a corner…

TAPA 207 TO PILLAGE
To PILLAGE means: “to rob, loot, or steal goods from a place”.. The attached article is a long read, but it attempts to connect the dots how Trump is pillaging America while enriching himself and his family. Ordinary Americans are paying the price while the Trump family’s wealth grows. Middle-class Americans will be bearing the cost of these…

TAPA 205 THE UNREFLECTING REFLECTING POOL
We held my Father’s Day celebration on Saturday to avoid conflicts with other fathers in the family and accommodate everyone’s schedules. It was a wonderful day. Simply sitting at the table, watching and listening to the children and grandchildren, is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Because I love them all, and because my journey is…

TAPA # 204 CAR 2419D
The “Surrender of Versailles” signed by Trump yesterday was gobsmacking, both for its content and its historical overtones. The Wall Street Journal and other sites are reporting it as a loss/surrender of the United States, a win for Iran by providing it with financing to rebuild, allowing it to keep the nuclear material, removing the…
