I want to examine the honoring of Charlie Kirk by comparing it to the honoring of other Americans. Think of famous Americans honored by statues, etc.; they are often honored in spite of their other weaknesses. We all know that Thomas Jefferson and George Washington owned slaves. Still they are not honored because of their […]

VACCINE SAFETY AND THE TROLLEY PROBLEM
One study, reported by the European Medicines Agency, found that the Covid vaccines caused 8.2 deaths per million vaccines. That is .0008% Another study in https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2837831, showed that Covid vaccines saved 2.5 million lives. Are those 8.2 deaths a reasonable sacrifice for saving a million lives? This is an extreme version of the ‘Trolleycar Problem’, […]
A NEW RED LINE — MURDER
Last week, a small boat was seen in international waters. No one knows who was in it, what it was carrying, or where it was headed. But the Trump administration declared – with no evidence – that they were Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang members headed for the US with drugs, so Trump murdered them […]
THE SATANIC PSYCHOLOGY OF THE TRUMP CULT
The MAGA cultists surely realize that Trump is all the horrible things the media say about him: 34-count felon, child rapist, grifter, etc. He is the most horrible person imaginable. He is often compared to Satan. Yet his followers still worship him. Why? It is worth examining the literature on the psychology of Satan worshippers, […]
I WITNESSED CRITICAL RACE THEORY AT THE U.S. EMBASSY
The system was invented to discriminate while appearing to be fair. I wanted to apply for U.S. citizenship for my half-Cambodian son. I assembled a vast amount of documents for the big interview at the Embassy. However, the rule states that I must pay for the interview online, through a website called MyTravelGov. In order […]
TRUMP HAS CROSSED TWO RED LINES
Today’s news is evidence that Trump has crossed a couple of subtle red lines. First red line: lying. For most of us, lying is about trying to make someone believe something false. However, for others, it’s a means of exerting power over someone. In this type of lie, you are not even expected to believe […]
I’M EMOTIONALLY DEVASTED BY TRUMPISM
Trumpism has crushed me – not just intellectually, but emotionally, in my gut. American education ingrained this into me. I was brought up to believe that democracy, the rule of law, due process, equal rights, etc. were sacrosanct. I bought into the whole democracy ideal like a religion. Despite its many failures, I did not […]
TRUMP’S CYNICAL NON-SUMMIT DISTRACTION
All show but no substance All this past week the press has been hyping the great Trump-Putin summit. Pundit after pundit has been asked what to expect from the summit, and the answer is always the same: “nothing”…. “nothing”……”nothing.” Of course Putin isn’t going to make any concessions, and of course Trump cannot give away […]
PEOPLE WANT SIMPLICITY — TRUMP SUPPLIES IT
This guy doesn’t look very simple to me. I’ve recently been doing battle with the U.S. Government, trying to use a service online, but being stifled at every turn by the complex technology. I feel that millions of Americans, with far less computer savvy than mine, are being frustrated by passwords, regulations, authentications, etc. They […]
THE DIRECTOR OF THE BUREAU OF STATISTICS COULD NOT HAVE RIGGED THOSE RESULTS
Trump attempts to rig the hurricane tracking results. Trump fired the Director of the Bureau of Statistics for ‘rigging’ the data. I want to outline why rigging is next to impossible. I have some experience in this area, since I was part of a United Nations team to set up the Bureau of Statistics in […]
