Old Jacob Marley was on to something...

Trump Sycophant of the Week: Meet Tulsi Gabbard,a skunk haired Russian asset now minding the nation's secrets. When she's not batting eyelashes toward Vladimir Putin, she spending her off time making cameo appearances on RT and haunting Georgia Elections offices like democracy’s perfume tester

Trump created a narrative of "us versus them", to his followers, where punishment was reserved for others (immigrants, trans etc)- not for "us". But the painful lesson of Fascism is ultimately the dragon turns it's gaze inward and the "us" turns into the "them". Welcome to Trump 2.0.

So here we are- Idiocracy meets 1984. Napoleon the pig rebooted as President Camacho, spray-tanned and slogan-stuffed, ruling the barnyard via reality TV. Democracy’s sequel now streams in 4K—brought to you by fear, stupidity, and the letter "T" . Welcome to the dystopian world that is Trump 2.0.

Behold Trump’s Board of Peace: a gold-plated menagerie of autocrats, con men, and Olympic-grade grovelers, each paying a billion-dollar cover to flatter the painted ringmaster. The debut act of this rogues gallery in the name of tranquility? -War with Iran. Naturally! Harmony, now sold separately.

Trump Sycophant of the Week: Collect 'em all! Meet HOWARD LUTNICK (aka Nutlick). High on tariffs and even higher on his own ego. This obsequious knucklehead takes "family trips" to EPSTEIN Island like it was Disney World. Nannies beware!

Meet Defense chief Pete Hegseth, a man who treats national security like a family group chat. His “Defense Huddle” features his wife, his bro, and his lawyer—because who needs clearances when you’ve got vibes? Hobby: bombing defenseless fishing boats and collecting tattoos like merit badges.

One year ago, before we became a country inured to this kaleidoscope of chaos and corruption, I posted a hauntingly prescient 5 Part series called: "The Art of the Steal: Donald Trump and the Demise of American Democracy". Below is the chilling Prologue to that series. Well worth the read...

"Schumer on DHS reforms: "I believe Republicans will have no choice but to go along with us because it's so common sense" Hey look! It's like Milquetoast meets Soggy Cheerios—steering the ship with all the courage of a chipmunk crossing the interstate.

This week's Trump Sycophants of the Week: Pam Bondi—the Peter Principle in pearls: an icy stare frosting over incompetence, mistaking the DOJ for Trump’s law firm. Tom Homan- a sentient slab of brisket with eyes. Kristi Noem- a botoxed cosplaying novice, tough on dogs, migrants.Softer on reality

Trump Sycophants of the Week: Meet : Steve Bannon, looking like an abused Chucky doll left near a radiation leak. Stephen Miller-a cheap Nosferatu knock off as welcome as a flesh eating virus at a family picnic RFKjr- a microwaved Mel Gibson Kash Patel- a bug eyed sentinel of selective reality

We must never lose our capacity to be shocked by the sheer stupidity, vile racism and rank ignorance of one Donald J. Trump and his obsequious sycophants. They give us examples so called "fake outrage", every day...

Elon Musk, philosopher-king of the tech bros, declares "empathy" a design flaw. Buoyed by a sense of hubris, is the day arriving when he flies too close to the algorithmic sun and meets his Icarus moment? Here,he learns the final patch update: Karma doesn’t do customer support. End of scene...

America,a nation where bootlicking is the new patriotism, where sycophants shed their shame like gators shed their skin, slithering toward the golden idol of grievance. Each day, the abnormal becomes normal, and democracy gasps for air—suffocated by the adoring hands of its own red tied executioner

You've seen the Melania movie, now collect the Melania action figure! So versatile, it doubles as a floor lamp! Batteries not included.

Blimey! Looks like old Marley was on to something...

Picture a Twilight Zone where shelter is a luxury. The cure for a housing crisis? Jack prices even higher—freeze out a generation, toast the winners. In Trump's America, nothing spells the American Dream more than a gated utopia for the rich, and cardboard futures for the rest. Bravo, MAGAs.

Meet Kristi Noem: a cosplaying, Botox saturated sycophant acting as head of DHS. "Just following orders", she exclaims. History heard that tune before—in German. Welcome to the new Twilight Zone- Empathy sold separately. Accountability not included

In the shadow of ‘law & order’, a new frontier: a cloaked theatre where federal agents turn nurses into casualties and citizens into clichés.Call it peacekeeping if you like— just another act in the surreal play called 2026 America.Here truth and justice take their bows- and gunfire does the talking

Ah yes, the "Plaza Strip" masterstroke—ethnic cleansing rebranded as urban renewal. Bulldoze history, expel a people, and gift-wrap Gaza for a Hamas recruitment bonanza. Nothing says "peace plan" like painting a target on every American’s back. Witness a leader totally unshackled from reality.

The Canadians have it right- dear EU, STOP trying to appease the unappeasable! It doesn't work! Move on! The Italians have a word for it BASTA!!!

Allies scorned. Treaties torn. Trust eroding faster than a sandcastle at high tide. Do not believe the evidence of your eyes and ears- it is fake. "Believe only what I say for that is your truth!" the tangerine tyrant bellows. "America First!". More like "America Alone"...in the Twilight Zone.

Picture a peace prize pawned off to a tangerine-tinged bellicose village idiot. Maria Machado, bargaining with the unappeasable, traded her country’s dignity for personal favors. The award shrinks, credibility evaporates- a trophy now fit for a yard sale. Welcome… to the Twilight Zone.

French writer, Albert Camus once said-"Be careful, when democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but not to inquire about its health." And with a thin smile, it fluffs the pillow, smooths the sheets, and whispers, "Rest now—I’ll take it from here."

Welcome to Trump’s “cleanup in aisle 4” approach to foreign policy. Take Venezuela for example: today it's about drugs. Tomorrow:democracy. Next Day:It's oil. No plan, no strategy—just sycophantic yes-men parroting the whims of a demented orange tyrant, calling chaos leadership in the Twilight Zone

With every idiotic move by the "Mussolini of Mar a Lago", the target on every American's back grows larger... We must never lose our capacity to be shocked by the sheer stupidity and rank ignorance of one Donald J. Trump and his obsequious sycophants. Never...

Picture, if you will: Trump’s Venezuelan Adventure—where a foreign despot is airlifted to face a “weaponized” justice system that can’t touch its own Felon-in-Chief. “We’ll run the country,” he blusters, oil men salivating. The message to Putin, Xi: knock yourselves out. Cue the Twilight Zone.

Consider a man allergic to empathy, especially the kind grief demands. While a family mourns, he reposts jeers like party favors. In this Twilight Zone, compassion is cancelled, cruelty gets likes—and Donald J. Trump hits “share.”. Here, Tragedy pauses—so a vile tyrant can post his venom.

Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year!

Happy Birthday, Rod. December 25, 1924. A true icon whose prescient insights we are experiencing today...

Will we EVER learn? This 1942 movie is so hauntingly familiar today...chilling.

Twas the Night Before Christmas:Stephen Miller smiles, counting lives like gifts in a queue. “ICE never stops,” he hums as files go—no angels, no sleigh bells,just quotas and glowing screens. Peace on earth? Pending review. Welcome to the Twilight Zone where goodwill is measured by quotas applied.

Picture, if you will, one Donald J Trump—freshly varnished with a FIFA Peace Prize—declaring war on Venezuela for stolen oil, land, anything to drown out the approaching thunder of the Epstein files. “We have you surrounded,” he roars, as geography whispers: not an island. Cue the Twilight Zone.

The Romans had a saying for this behavior: "Excusatio non petita, accusatio manifesta." Roughly means - excusing things you weren't asked about is tantamount to an admission of guilt.

“I didn’t vote for this,” they cry—shocked their hate had a return address. Crops rot, their neighbors vanish, rights evaporate like dew at dawn. But the signs were there: gulags in the blueprint, jackboots in the foyer. He said he’d be dictator for a day. They just missed the fine print: every day.

Enter a realm where a vacation to Miami now requires your genome,your retina history, Aunt Linda’s address, and every meme you’ve ever liked.Where freedom now travels with a filing cabinet welded to your back. The only thing moving faster than the line is the erosion of whatever freedom used to mean

Does anyone know what's become of Tulsi Gabbard lately?

He does realize that the world's BIGGEST producer of fertilizer is CANADA, doesn't he?? I'm sure farmers will love this. We must never lose our capacity to be shocked by the sheer stupidity and rank ignorance of one Donald J. Trump and his obsequious sycophants. They give us examples every day...

Meet Gianni Infantino, globe-trotting valet to petro-princes,who winked Saudi into the 2034 World Cup, treating human-rights abuses like smudges on his designer glasses. His masterstroke? Awarding Trump a fake peace prize —a glittering trinket of sycophancy fit for the gift shop of the Twilight Zone

Welcome to Geopolitics for the Bewildered: our orange felon brands Canada a “vassal state,” missing the memo that Ottawa ghosted him ages ago. He cosplays Cold War strongman as Canada’s off trading with grown-ups, forging new defense alliances. Not rage—just the exquisite sting of not caring anymore

In the dystopian world of Trump 2.0, where violent insurrectionists are freed, and innocent people can be detained and disappear on a mere accusation, I am increasingly reminded of a quote by Peru's General Óscar Benavides: “For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law!"

Republicans let simple messaging drive poll numbers, while Dem leadership let's data and poll numbers drive messaging...by the time all the analysis and navel gazing is done, the urgency of the moment - the urgency to call them out on their lies, is over.

We must never lose our capacity to be shocked by the sheer stupidity and rank ignorance of one Donald J. Trump and his obsequious sycophants. They give us examples every day...

Trump Math: Let's see now, that's eight wars ended...minus a raft of trade wars started ... minus Venezuela imminent...minus Gaza resurging...minus Albania vs Azerbaijan never happened...minus... hmmm.🤔

A "stable genius" who thought slapping tariffs like stickers on a garage sale would make the world rush to invest in America-trade wars were "easy to win". But alas, investors prefer stability over a tantrum-prone despot who rewrites rules on a whim. Who could’ve seen that coming? Oh right—everyone.

Through the gloom cast by a tangerine tyrant—truth throttled, prices climbing like panic, grifters grazing freely, allies ditched, neighbors erased—comes the growing clatter of defiance. In those cracks, a pulse of hope: "we the people", not tyrants, will shape our fate. - Happy Thanksgiving to all!

The faint rumble you hear isn’t thunder—it’s the dam of public opinion cracking open. When it blows like a torrent, no bargain-bin DOJ, no spray-tanned strongman, nor his groveling court jesters will keep the flood from washing their circus clean. Soon, the day of reckoning will be upon us.
