TAPA # 232 A ONE EYED CARPENTER???
Anthony Scaramucci, known as “the Mooch,” recently expressed surprise at how many holes our Constitution seems to contain, holes that Trump has chosen to drive through. I disagree. Our problem is not the form of the Constitution. It is the character of the people entrusted with managing the government it created. In a democracy, leadership…

TAPA # 230 THE CANADIAN CONTRAST
As I’ve watched the sparring between Canadian and American leaders, the contrast could not be more bold or stark. The Canadians speak with dignity, purpose, and principle.

It is a fitting description of dealing with this White House: nothing is dependable, nothing is permanent, and apparently nothing is worth the paper it is written on. Once again, Trump has triggered a “war”, this time…

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 # 223
A Descent Into the Inferno Sitting here, reading and worrying about the midterm elections, I become more concerned the more I learn about what Trump is doing to enrich himself, his family, and his friends while simultaneously working to suppress the vote. It is almost inconceivable that a man who received only 18% of the…

TAPA # 223 INFAMY, NOT FAME!!!
Senator Cassidy: I watched your interview where you spoke about the extraordinary privilege of serving as a United States senator and of participating in decisions that history may judge as having changed the world. You became emotional as you described both the responsibility and the privilege entrusted to you as you voted for Blanche. You…
