Wake up!
The Nazis had a phrase they used to influence the people in elections with was “Deutschland Erwarche” which means “Germany Awake”. It is to be hoped that the American people awaken from “Make America Great Again” as the country becomes a pariah nation. One has to compare 1930’s Germany with present day America.

Eight days into 2026
Already in 2026 Trump has been hallucinating that he is Emperor of the World instead of just being a leader of a failing state. He has had the President of Venezuela and his wife kidnapped and brought to the United States for trial. Tump’s aim is to grab the oil and has little to do…

Trump, completely classless
The murder of Rob Reiner and his wife is an appaling event. Normally, when a public figure dies, it is usual for POTUS to indicate condolences. Not this POTUS. When Senator McCain died and now when the Reiners died, he simply boils down everything to whether they are Pro-Trump or Anti-Trump. He is a child.…

Kaliningrad
Despite the U.S.position of favouring Russia over Ukraine in the war talks I would like to see Ukraine attack the Russian exclave at Kaliningrad which is one of Russia’s warm water ports. This would be devastating for Putin.

Any difference?
After the First World War, Germany was subject to the Versaiiles Treaty which subjected Germany to enormous reparations as loser to the war. In this atmosphere, it was easy for a demagogue to rise up and explain that all Germany’s problems were caused by the Jews. Since January 20, 2025 in the United States, a…

A disgraceful President
Trump pardoned all the people convicted of the January 6 attack on Congress. So it will not be a surprise that now he has commuted the sentence of George Santos, a former Republican Congressman who was found guilty if several offences. Trump said that he was a Republican so not all bad. Reminiscent of the…

Good riddance, Trump!
Trump has left the U.K. after a very swift and laid back State Visit. Why the U.K. Government invited him for a second State Visit, unique to anyone to have a second, was an absolute disgrace and showed how craven the British Government is in sucking up to America. At the State dinner, speeches were…

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/opinion/charlie-kirk-mourning-political-violence.html Charlie Kirk was a young Trump supporter so I was not a fan. However, he was assassinated yesterday, the day before the anniversary of 9/11. The left leaning New York Times published the above editorial. The United States cannot be shocked at this because of previous assassinations: John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Martin…

Wither the U.S. political system
Something is radically wrong in American politics. Trump, of course, McConnell and the Republican Party in Congress and potentially the worst of all the lack of any opposition by the Democrats.

From the New York Times
This article shows how Congress has abdicated its Constitutional responsibilities and allows Trump to be viewed as a dictator. A terrible indictment of the Republican Party in today’s America. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/us/politics/trump-congresss-power.html?rsrc=flt&unlocked_article_code=1.kE8.qzC4.1ly6hSxDIKJy&smid=url-share
