Too bad Zelensky can’t run for office here.

And thanks again for your ideas and the humor during these dark times.

Great insight on the state of our nation and also abroad. And I appreciated the reasons for smiles. The Mad Hatter ride is still in full operation with a few obvious glitches as we're jerked around from one side of the rickety car to the other.

And if you will indulges me I’d take some joy in adding to that international mocking in multiple languages. From Canada, here goes….

Good day eh!! That giant orange hoser Trump calls up his buddy Infantino to get Balogun back in the game against Belgium. Belgium takes the pitch and slays. Trump and Infantino look like even bigger hosers!! The world says ‘take off eh you beer-brains! Next time line up at the concession stand for an Elsinore and some jelly doughnuts!’

If ya know…ya know. 😝🇨🇦

One view within Israel’s pro-Netanyahu bloc holds that Trump is buying time in Iran until the U.S. midterm elections, after which the “whatever you call it” will resume with full force to fulfill Bibi’s agenda. It could well be wishful thinking on the part of those who see this strategy, or maybe not. We’ll have to wait and see.

I’m tired of hearing how well the stock market is doing. How many of us can currently afford stock? I’m afraid of what will happen if the Democrats take congress. He will almost certainly have a dangerous tantrum on day one. The pardoned insurrectionists owe him.

And Trump has issued executive orders to make firearms available for purchase online without background checks.

Maybe a smart mentally ill person will successfully use that opportunity to our advantage.
