As suggested at left, Trump’s PR team is not ignoring America’s kids.

Maybe a reader can clue me in as to how what the president is doing is delivering a “stronger, safer and more prosperous America” as he:

• Abolishes the Department of Education

• Fires key people air traffic safety

• Removes dozens of inspectors general and other government watchdogs

• Withdraws our nation from the World Health Organization

• Stops communication coming from the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

• Installs crackpot RFK Jr. into a position where vaccines will be hard to come by

• Pulls the U.S. out of the Paris Accord, blocking efforts to mitigate climate change by the most prosperous nation on Earth

It’s hard to understand how we got to the point where the American people happily accept total crap like this.

If you don’t mind being sickened by what’s going on in Washington D.C. at the hands of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, here’s a clip from a recent episode of Stephen Colbert’s show featuring the (former) administrator of the philanthropic agency USAID.

How abruptly was the agency shuttered? “There was a long line of children in Sudan waiting for their TB medicine,” she began.  “At the moment the executive order came through, the first three had already received their doses, and the entire rest of the line was told to go home.”

From a reader:

Have you heard Trump is a racist???

Donald Trump is a racist, a chauvinist, a homophobe, and a bigot!”
So Kash Patel is about to be the first Indian to ever head the FBI. He’s also the son of immigrant parents.
Marco Rubio is the first Latin Secretary of State, also son of immigrant parents.
Susie Wiles is the first female Chief of Staff.
Scott Besenst, who is an openly gay man, is now Secretary of the Treasury.
Kristi Noem is actually the second woman to be Secretary of Homeland Security.
Richard Grinnell, the envoy who just brought back six American hostages from Venezuela, is openly gay.
Tulsi Gabbard could be the second woman to be head of National Intelligence. Oh, and she’s of Samoan descent.
“Fine, but he… he… he has weird hair and orange skin!”

It’s clear that Trump’s only important criteria in these choices is loyalty to him and his agenda.  If you’re willing to do anything for Trump, regardless of how blatantly illegal, you’re an excellent candidate, no matter your race, gender, or ethnicity.

Look through the list of Trump’s 18 co-defendants in Fulton County, Georgia who were indicted under 41 felony counts related to their alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and keep Trump in power following his loss.  You will see many women and a variety of ethnic backgrounds who happily committed treason against their country.

I doubt it.

Yes, I doubt that Christ is coming back, but I specifically refute the claim at left that more people are accepting this idea.

The trend in the United States, a predominantly Christian nation, is away from religions of all types.

This seems to be especially true of young people, though it’s unclear why this is.  I’d love to believe that they’re more scientific in their thinking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case, does it?

For those those who believe that it would be impossible for the U.S. to deprioritize education any further, stay tuned. This administration won’t rest until public education has been completely eradicated.

Over the years, we’ve seen many people speculate as to the motive here.  The usual suspect is that it’s easier for the nation’s most wealthiest people to remain in power if the common American is incapable of realizing how thoroughly they’ve been screwed.

In the case of Trump himself, this whole phenomenon is even more obvious.  Even minimally educated people have a tough time believing that the U.S. president is actually making America great again.  For Trump, the more ignorant the better.

This guy makes an excellent point.

If you think states with highly educated voters like California and Massachusetts are liberal, wait until you check out Canada.

If you don’t care what you pay for electricity, this makes perfect sense.

Has anyone else noticed that social media posts are becoming more ridiculous by the day?

This fool seems to be asserting that the incredible number of shooting deaths in America, a tragedy that is unique to our country, is due to our extraordinarily bad parenting.

Here, Marcus Aurelius provides viewpoints on life that could be applied to current-day U.S. politics.

For instance, I can say that all this hatred and stupidity is, in fact, playing itself out in front of my eyes, but I’m fortunate enough not to be poor, uneducated, Muslim, female, LGBTQ, black, etc., so no big deal.

As it happens, however, I do have one small chink in the armor, in that I actually care about the well-being of others.

The reader who sent me this notes: I thought things were supposed to get better. In particular, weren’t prices going to fall?

Trump won the 2024 election fair and square; a plurality of voters re-elected a pathological liar to lead this country. This is the type of crap that the American people knowingly signed up for, and thus it’s hard to feel sorry for them.
