Why Is America Not Sick of Trump?
Trump’s approval rating is about 40%, which is a large number, considering what a total ass**** he is.

Hannah Arendt and Constant Lying
I’m sure Ms. Arendt is correct here. Yet it seems that constantly making provably false assertions would harm one’s credibility.
One thing that honest people can’t stand about Trump supporters is their credulity. You really believe that climate change is a hoax, that January 6th was a day of love, that Trump’s approval rating is 92%, and that the 2020 election was rigged?
The Abuse of the Working Class
The cartoon here offers hope that the working class may be starting to figure out that they’re getting raped.

Trump Plunges
Is it really Trump’s economic policies that are bringing him down? That’s what we’re told, but I’m skeptical.
It seems more likely that people are realizing that they have elected a criminal sociopath to lead our country, and they fear the consequences that accompany handing absolute power to a mentally unstable person.
The Looming Constitutional Crisis
What effect would the resolution discussed at left have on the sociopath-in-chief? Probably zero.
The only way to prevent Trump from invading another country of interest is for the military to simply refuse to carry out one more illegal order.
Remembering Donald Trump
This a tough question to answer, because he’s still in office, so the chain of atrocities isn’t over.
If he drops dead today, I’d say Jan. 6 and his related attempts to overthrow the federal government following his loss in the 2020 presidential election.
Does Our Thirst for Money Send Us to War?
“Casus Belli,” or “the cause of war” has been discussed for millennia.
Socrates said that the only cause of war is money.

Remembering the Attack on the U.S. Capitol
It’s not easy predicting the future, but it’s safe to say that, if we still have a democratic republic here in 20 years, Americans will regard January 6th, 2021 in the same way we remember other attacks on our freedom.
The fact that it was orchestrated by our president–not Hitler, not Islamic terrorists, and not Hirohito makes it that much worse and harder to admit to. Perhaps there will still be people at that point who deny this, but we elected a president who came very close to destroying our nation.
Science and Religion
There actually are some senior scientists who believe in God, and I happen to know one personally, but they are very few in number.

Ayn Rand Was Once “A Thing”
Growing up in the 60s and early 70s, I was one of millions of young people who read Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged and found them both extremely well-written and philosophically compelling.
But then, as we aged, virtually every one of us had the same realization: we all live in a society, and, while we have individual rights, we have certain duties and responsibilities to one another.
There is no country on Earth, thank God, that doesn’t have some form of socialism in it. Yes, some have more than others, but the real differences between, for instance, the United States and the other developed nations of our world is government-funded healthcare and education.
Only the truly insane want to see the privatization of infrastructure, national defense, law enforcement, environmental control, airport security, disaster response, and dozens of other things we take for granted.
