In the middle of war, economic chaos, and global instability, it’s honestly impressive that Donald Trump still finds the time to golf, redesign ballrooms, dream up vanity projects like the “Arc d’Trump,” and fire off lengthy screeds at anyone who’s ever looked at him sideways.
You’d think running a country would be a full-time job, right?
Oh... maybe that explains why everything is fu**ed up...
As usual, the best political commentary available... the best combination of fact and great writing... Thank-you-as always...
I keep reading, in your posts and elsewhere, that all the "polls" show Trump and his policies headed straight down hill; and his actions, not-thought-out and slapdash as they are, are becoming increasingly costly for the average person... Even his "Trump accounts" and his other petty bribes and chicken-shit gifts to Americans at tax time don't have the effect he hoped they would...
So, what leaves is the big run-away freight train--loaded with TNT--headed straight for us and due to hit voting sites in early November... Trump and John Roberts (dressed in a black robe so as not to look like 1930's Chicago gangster)--AND the jelly-fish-like brain-frozen fools in the Republican Senate and House... AND the governors and legislatures in Southern states-- All combining to blow-up the 2026 mid-term elections... They understand that if the vote was cast and recorded fairly, an impeachment would be the inevitable result so they are doing everything they can to wreck the election.
How to prevent this is the real question--because otherwise, this will be the last election!
Iconic Canadian band The Tragically Hip and their song ‘New Orleans Is Sinking’….’man, and I don’t wanna swim’. I’m not sure if lead singer and poetic genius Gord Downey was intending to be prophetic but here we are.
Perhaps in the decades it takes for that to happen the damage that Trmp and his merry band of misfits have caused will have begun to be set to rights.
People owning real estate anywhere near New Orleans and insurance companies that cover it will need serious plans to get equity they believe they've got.
Exit to where? I have a friend that immigrated to Portugal midway through Trump’s first term. And a family now considering moving to rural Japan where super cheap old farmsteads are being offered by their elders. I feel more like a Hopi; tied spiritually to the redrock desert around southeast Utah. The midterms the midterms the midterms must be preserved. But there is also some incredible mental health subjects in our society who truly believe everything Q’anon puts out is factual. Another friend of mine, an extremely clever woodworker carpenter extraordinaire accepts Q rhetoric without question and ever so often tries to convince / explain to me how he has the inside scoop on reality, that the White Hats Secret Service agenda is taking out the Evil Black Hats (the Murderous Child Trafficking Demoncrats) throughout the world in order to restore peace and good moral order and prosperity for all (after you get rid of anyone that’s not white) then the good people will get their fair share of the pie.
He even gave me a self published manifesto filled with Q’anon notes as convincing evidence of the truth. This gentleman is intelligent in so many ways, caring, with strong work ethics and enjoyable to work with…until after work he turns on his real news podcast and listens with rapt attention word for word… trying very much to get me interested in his version of reality as he is truly concerned about saving me.
There is a lot going on in the world that I know nothing about. I do my best by following my heart with humility and humor (humor is my more precious resource) and surrendering to Divine Ignorance.
Thank you, Mary for your updates and Geddry’s-ized word art. You make our bizarre situation understandable in human emotional terms. What a weird species!

I like Ground News too, for just that reason.
Operation Epstein Invisibility Cloak is really something to behold.
The acronym reads "Oh. IcK!"😝

Happy Belated Birthday. Here's hoping for better tomorrows.
