Trump Acquitted – American Ugly (#149)

Guilt-ridden Trump’s acquittal by the Republican-controlled Senate was an open sellout of America’s lingering image of a largely law abiding ‘Super Power’. That image of America, as a ‘Policeman of the World’- moral, humanitarian, and largely law-abiding, since the Second World War – albeit severely tattered since the George W. Bush legacy of illegal wars and corruption triggered financial crisis that almost tanked the entire global financial system - was nevertheless still the perception of the

America’s Continuing Decent – Reverse MAGA (#145)

Watching the Impeachment Hearings over the past few days, and listening to the Republicans determinedly deny the facts underlying every witness’s testimony, regardless of how ridiculous the denials, the Biblical verse came to mind, ‘For what shall it profit a man, if he should gain the whole World, but lose his own soul’ (Mark 8:36 King James Version). It is abundantly clear that neither Trump nor the Republicans put much stock in religious teachings, regardless of their sham public displays of

Trump Provides the Crimes – The Republicans Deny & Deny (#140)

In repeated extraordinary displays of brazen denials, the Republicans have turned the US government into a crime syndicate, whose chosen Boss is obviously Trump, but whose Republican Senators and Congressmen Lawmaker’s secret oath to protect the 'Boss' with straight-faced lies, and repeated stubborn denials of reality, would turn the most hardened Mafia Boss green with envy. Republicans now belong to Trump, and except for a very few, they dare not cross him in fear for the political lives, as

Trudeau’s Love of Blackface – Leaves Canada Red-faced (#138)

On their worst day, Canada and its Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, are more socially, racially and religiously accepting, and tolerant, than most countries and their leaders in the world, currently. And if truth be told, most white and non-white, naturalized Canadian citizens, if asked, would readily admit that the countries (and their leadership) they originally came from, even if generations ago, are still frighteningly racist, bigoted and intolerant when compared to Canada and Trudeau (and

Robert Mueller – The Boy Scout that Refused to Brawl (#137)

Robert Mueller is a genuine War Hero, a Marine Corp Officer, a recipient of the Bronze Star, and a Purple Heart, a Princeton Graduate, a distinguished lawyer and public prosecutor, a United States Deputy Attorney General, and a Senate confirmed Director of the FBI under four US Presidents, two Republicans, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr., and two Democrats Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. And, considering the extraordinary abuse heaped on him during and after the conclusion of his investigation,

The Great Republican Heroes versus – The Loser (#135)

The raging partisan war that is tearing America apart and is going to define this era in history, ebbs and flows with every event that adds fuel to both sides, as in the latest spurt of gasoline that was squirted on to the conflagration by the less than 10 minutes of retiring Special Counsel’s Robert Muller’s ‘Yoda’ speak. The taciturn and unusually reticent public commentator took the rare step of stepping out into the public arena with its inevitable glare, for approximately 10 minutes, to

Mueller Report – Crimes/Coordination/Obstructions – Our Conclusions (#133)

Special Counsel, Robert Swan Mueller III, has put America to the test. His ‘Special Prosecutor Investigation Report’ records in excruciating detail, over 400 pages of crimes, lies, misdemeanors and obstructive intent, with detailed ‘Notes’ and ‘Annotations’, and outlines Donald J. Trump and his family, campaign team, advisers and surrogates, working with the Russian Government officials, agents, troll farms, and WikiLeaks, to hurt Hillary Clinton with false and misleading social media

Trump’s State of the Union – And the Over-Shadow of Russia (#130)

On February 5th, 2019, President Trump gave his delayed State of the Union Speech. The US President’s ‘State of the Union’ (SOTU) speech to the American people is a personalized report card on how the country is doing under the incumbent administration, and to the rest of the watching World, it’s a broad stroke assessment of political, social and economic currents that are defining America today, and its near and mid-term outlook. As the World’s largest economy, and the most armed and militarily

Trump Set-Up & Wounded – By the Far-Right (#129)

For his recent decision to allow enough funding go through to open the US Government for three weeks, Trump is being excoriated by some on the ‘Ultra-Conservative’ side of the partisan divide. While the ‘Liberal Left’ is celebrating the defeat of Trump, and the win of his protagonist Democrat Nancy Pelosi in this latest partisan battle, it’s the prominent commentators of the Right that are skewering him more profoundly, and thus wounding him more gravely. Trump, politically, is more sensitive to

The Desolation of Two Democracies (US & UK) - by Their Governments (#127)

Both the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK) are being wracked by internal discord and division amongst their body politic, and their strife torn public. These two countries are normally considered leaders of Western democracies, and the global guardians of liberal and progressive values and human rights, which together, have underpinned the values of Western democracies. But now, both these countries are being pulled apart by political movements that are counter to their core

On The World Stage – ‘The Ugly American’ (#96)

In 1958, Eugene Burdick and William Lederer wrote a book called ‘The Ugly American’. It was an instant bestseller in America, and has been in continuous print ever since. The book is considered to be one of the most politically influential books published in America, and is supposed to have impressed then Senator John F. Kennedy so much that he is reported to have purchased and distributed a copy to every one of his colleagues in the U.S. Senate. The book apparently influenced the conduct of
