TAPA # 221 A REFLECTION
The Trump administration’s latest tariff policy appears to be little more than a pretext, a spurious rationale extracted from an obscure provision of trade law. The administration now claims that tariffs are justified because dozens of foreign economies have failed to prohibit imports produced with forced labor. Under this extraordinary theory, countries as different as…

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…

TAPA #V216 TRUMP & FRIENDS FOLLIES
As always Friedman make so much sense. My only disagreement is where he says Trump is now paying for his mistakes. The fact is we and our families, especially those of our soldiers are paying for his mistakes. It is time we stopped! VOTE!!! RESIST!!! & EDICATE!!! Three World Leaders. 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 # 213 FREEDOM!!!
Well, what did I tell you Old Bone Spurs would say? I told you so. We are long past stipulating that Trump is a liar, a grifter, a convicted felon, and, in my view, a leader whose primary concern is himself. Last night’s Orwellian speech reinforced a familiar principle: Don’t believe what you see or read,…

TAPA # 212 A REICHSTAG MOMENT???
Tonight, Old Bone Spurs, a documented liar and grifter, will likely once again claim that the 2020 election was rigged. Let’s remember what that election actually was: Given all of this documented evidence, Trump’s narrative is reminiscent of Rod Serling’s The Twilight Zone: “This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call……

TAPA # 211 EINSTEIN’S WARNING
Last night I watched a drama-documentary about Albert Einstein. Fortunately, it focused less on his scientific achievements and more on his experiences during the rise of Nazi Germany and his social philosophy. Einstein was deeply saddened by the bombing of Hiroshima. Although his work laid part of the scientific foundation that ultimately made the atomic…

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…
