I don’t know why we’re still surprised. On April 11th, President Trump tweeted: North Korea is looking for trouble. If China decides to help, that would be great. If not, we will solve the problem without them! U.S.A. — Donald J. Trump, @realDonaldTrump, Apr 11, 2017 Later that same day, President Trump said more in an interview with Fox Business News. I don’t want to...
Trump Wins Again. Remember when Jeff Session was caught lying under oath during his confirmation hearing? Under no pressure, Sessions simply lied when he said he has no contacts with the Russian Ambassador. Completely unforced. Then Sessions went on the chat show circuit, trying to ‘explain’ himself, but every time he opened his mouth, he dug himself deeper. So Trump grabbed his last stupid tweet...
But was anyone outside South Korea listening? Vice President Mike Pence reassured South Korea that the United States fully stood behind the American commitment to defend South Korea from North Korean aggression. I’ve heard that South Korea officials were reassured by his speech, but who else really thinks Trump will hold to anything Pence says? Even Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has to double back...
Really, not racist at all. Interestingly, we get a lot of Russian kids working in the Washington DC area. They come over on J-1 visas to work here, work for minimum wages, and hopefully, see a bit of the real America. Everyone wins. The Washington Post reports that ICE immigration arrests of noncriminals double under Trump. The article says: Immigration arrests rose 32.6 percent in the...
This is the result of not knowing what you’re doing. The BBC reports that Syria bombed buses filled with refugees trying to flee Aleppo. There have been 126 dead so far, which included 68 children. A car or truck filled with explosives hit the convoy as they tried to evacuate families. So where’s Trump? Ignore anything he says; what did he do?
Trump threatens yet another new war. Congress? So Trump has committed an act of war in Syria and Afghanistan, and now he’s saber-rattling around Korea, just as China warns us that this is a terrible idea. That’s what, three acts of war in three different nations in roughly the same week? Gotta be a new record of some kind. Trump is happy to talk about...
Why are so many people confusing tactics and strategy? I was listening to TV media talking about the Trump Doctrine. For some reason, they all pretend such a doctrine exists, and that he’s not just making it up as he goes. Why do we need one? Well, because he started bombing things. Trump dropped a mess of Tomahawk bombs on Syria, contradicting everything he’s ever...
Poetry and drama matter. When the Syfy cable channel began broadcasting their new series “The Expanse”, I was conflicted. I’ve read the novels by ‘James S. A. Corey’ (a pseudonym for Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck), and I like them a lot. At the same time, like any writing that’s filmed, I worried about the result. They got the look down perfectly. This is speculative...
