“Get Over It” or “Get On With It”

Last updated on: October 19, 2019 at 11:35 am By Kermit Zarley

U.S. President Donald Trump’s acting Chief-of-Staff Mick Mulvaney committed a huge gaff in a televised press conference Thursday. It became big news that could have created further evidence for the impeachment proceedings against the president in Congress and perhaps further legal jeopardy for Mr. Trump. According to reports of Republican sources who attended a White House prep meeting for that press conference, Mulvaney was expected to speak only about the recent decision by President Trump to pull back U.S. military...

Jim Mattis on Donald Trump Being a Draft Dodger

Last updated on: October 18, 2019 at 12:38 am By Kermit Zarley

President Donald Trump–the former real estate developing mogul and star of The Apprentice television series wherein he made popular the saying, “You’re fired”–hired General Jim Mattis, whom he lauded as a great general, as his Secretary of Defense, and then fired him late last year. Trump afterwards said of Mattis that he was “the world’s most overrated general.” I’d say Donald Trump is the Don Rickles of the White House, except he doesn’t make such insults in loving jest like...

G7 to Meet at Doral in 2020

Last updated on: October 17, 2019 at 10:43 am By Kermit Zarley

It was just announced that G7 will meet at Trump National Doral Miami next year. It is the seven economically largest Free World nations that meet annually. They are the U.S., Canada, France, UK, Germany, Italy, and Japan. Russia used to be a member, when they were called the Group of Eight, until it got thrown out due to bad behavior. There has been criticism about the G7 meeting at Doral since U.S. President Donal Trump owns it. He said... Read more

Nancy Pelosi Is CCC–Calm, Cool Cookie

Last updated on: October 16, 2019 at 11:28 pm By Kermit Zarley

Democratic leaders met with President Donald Trump to mostly discuss the ongoing chaos resulting from Trump’s recent decision to pull over 1,000 of our troops out of northeastern Syria, allowing Turkey to send troops into the region, and thereby abandon its ally Kurds as Turkey seeks to destroy them. The meeting did not go well. Pelosi told Trump that Russia has always wanted to gain a “foothold in the Middle East,” and Trump has now given that to them with... Read more

MALT–Make American Like Trump

Last updated on: October 16, 2019 at 10:45 pm By Kermit Zarley

In recent days, President Trump has pulled over 1,000 of our military ground forces out of their entrenched positions in northeast Syria at the request of Turkey President Erdogan. They had been there working mostly with Kurds in overcoming the very dangerous radical Islamic group called ISIS. Turkey then began sending its forces into northeast Syria to attack and destroy the Kurds there because Turkey regards them as “terrorists.” The word “terrorist” is thrown around a lot these days. The... Read more

Lebron James Needs to Retract What He Said

Last updated on: October 15, 2019 at 11:31 pm By Kermit Zarley

I’m a big NBA fan. I’ve been this way pretty much all of my life. And I like Lebron James. He has been the best basketball player on the planet for the past nearly 15 years. But he has just now stuck his foot in a big hole of you know what by speaking out two different times against Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey’s tweet image a week ago Friday. It read, “Fight for Freedom, Stand with Hong Kong.”... Read more

Should U.S. Require Psychological Testing of Presidential Contenders

Last updated on: October 14, 2019 at 11:04 am By Kermit Zarley

Du Due to Donald Trump being our president, I am questioning if the U.S. should require psychological testing for its presidential contenders. It’s because the U.S. presidency is allotted so much power, especially the power of sending or removing U.S. troops to fight wars not declared by Congress or, worse yet, deciding on shooting nuclear weapons at our foes. If our president doesn’t have a very sound mind, that’s pretty scary. One week ago, President Trump phoned Turkey’s President Erdogen.... Read more

Should There Be No Impeaching of the President?

Last updated on: October 14, 2019 at 11:04 am By Kermit Zarley

Some Republican members of Congress are saying a president should not be impeached but that the removal of a president from office should only be done by the voting public in an election. For example, Andrew Card was White Chief-of-Staff in the George W. Bush administration from 2001 to 2006. He just now said this on TV on MSNBC on the “Weekends with Alex Witt” program. No way! It’s in the Constitution. Framers knew what they were doing. How so?... Read more

Trump Further Divides the Middle East

Last updated on: October 14, 2019 at 11:05 am By Kermit Zarley

The Middle East is the center of Islam. Founded by Mohammed in the seventh century, Islam originated in Medina and then Mecca in Saudi Arabia. When Mohammed died, in 632 AD, he had not designated a successor. So, his fellow Muslims debated about who should be the leader of their religion. The majority of Muslims said Mohammed’s successor should be his close friend Abu Bakr. In fact, he then formed the first Islamic caliphate. His followers became known as Sunnis.... Read more

NBA Wake Up! This Is America, Land of the Free, Not Communism

Last updated on: October 10, 2019 at 11:28 pm By Kermit Zarley

Heh you NBA, you National Basketball Association people in the USA, since when do you let the Peoples Republic of China, which is Communistic government, tell us Americans what we can say and do? This is America–land of the free and home of the brave, at least after we dumped slavery. This is a free country, a democracy, and China is not. In case you’ve been hanging out in some cave lately with no smart phone, there’s a four-month long... Read more
