Here’s a brief presentation of the world’s great cartoonists and their interpretation of Donald Trump.

In a survey of people in 37 countries around the globe, approximately 75% say they have “little to no” confidence in Trump’s ability to handle international affairs competently, and yowza, does that hit home here.

The Trump administration’s decision to rescind student visas from those whose courses are going to be held entirely online have most Americans shaking their heads, in shame and bewilderment

Part of this is simple decency.  “We are being looked at like a package, just being shipped around from here to there,” one student said. That’s simply inexcusable. (more…)

From: Goya Foods’ Wikipedia page:

On July 9, 2020, following a White House roundtable with Hispanic business and political leaders from across the nation, Goya Foods CEO Robert Unanue said the country was “blessed” to have Donald Trump as president. In response, Twitter users including Democratic U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former 2020 Democratic Party presidential candidate Julian Castro called for a boycott of the brand. (more…)

This meme, featuring the governor of Florida, is really clever, IMO.

Why the push to open schools?  Create the illusion that everything’s fine, and American life has returned to the way it was before our president deliberately failed to act to protect our health and safety, resulting in a runaway plague.

Reader: To be perfectly honest, I’m not sure that I have a clue how badly America’s reputation will be affected by the Trump presidency.

The power of the U.S. passport, i.e., the number of countries to which American travelers can visit without visas, has dropped in recent years, due to friction created by the Trump administration’s abusive foreign policies, and now, of course, by the incredible spike in COVID-19 cases.

That having been said, this is one of those issues that is extremely unlikely to cause any damage whatsoever to the solidity of Trump’s voter base, as they: (more…)

I spent most of my voting life in defiance or non-comprehension of the message here.

That, of course, was before Donald Trump arrived on the political landscape and it was instantaneously obvious the horrific danger he represented.

I have a feeling that there will be very few votes for third-party candidates in November, for precisely this reason.

Using small pieces of solar PV to run low-power devices is a good idea.  Adding what could be called “nano-wind” (i.e., wind turbines even smaller than “micro-wind”) isn’t.  All this does is add expense–both capital and operational.

Here’s a video that reveals an interesting fact: that breaking the law and thumbing our noses at the police have now become admirable acts in our nation. Not sure this is a positive development in a civilized society, though it sure does explain how the U.S. has become one of two out of more than 200 sovereign nations that has failed so miserably to contain COVID-19.
