Many people view Trump as God in the same way that most religious people view their gods. However, my explanation of the common perception of God is not the normal one, so let me start with that. For most people, shit happens. That is the default. Things normally go wrong. But once in a while, […]
Trump is telling the press that the CIA decided to sneak him off AF1, and he just did what they told him to do. This is apparently another total Trump lie. The CIA didn’t take the Israeli report of a threat very seriously. Rubio was aware and decided that AF1 was not in great danger, […]
Like most of the official stories coming out of the Iran war (i.e. ‘excursion’), the stories of the catering-truck episode raise a whole lot of questions. First, Trump was transferred from Qatar1 to the old AF1. The initial explanation, and the first lie about this was that Trump wanted to show Qatar1 to people in […]
All through the COVID pandemic, I regarded Dr. Fauci as the voice of reason who was saving millions of lives. Nowadays, he is hated and receives death threats. What happened? The case against Fauci usually boils down to an accusation that Fauci denied or covered up a theory that the COVID-19 virus was invented in […]
The nation is outraged to learn that, after a meeting with Trump officials and a donation of a million dollars, the FDA reversed its positive test result for cyclospora and apologized to Taylor Farms. Given the Trump administration’s track record, most people are apt to jump to the conclusion that Taylor Farms bribed Trump a […]
The U.S. death toll from the Iran war has held at 13 for the past several weeks. During this period, we have witnessed dramatic videos of Iranian strikes on dozens of American bases, with scenes of utter destruction in flames and smoke. Surely there have been plenty of casualties, but Trump is not reporting them. […]
I first moved to the Sahel in Bornu, northern Nigeria, in 1977. The population of Nigeria was 67 million. In the Sahel, life was hard, as there were not enough resources to support the population. Most villages had no electricity or clean water in the 43-degree heat and drought. Women walked several kilometers in the […]
Something that I don’t get, and that I’m not hearing in the media: the US-Iran agreement commits both Israel and Hezbollah to stop fighting, although neither Israel nor Hezbollah agreed. That sounds impossible; how could Iran and the US be so stupid as to write Israel and Hezbollah into an agreement that Israel and Hezbollah […]
The widely discussed (and mostly condemned) $300 billion to be given to Iran is not what the media are portraying. It is NOT a donation from American taxpayers to Iran for reparations. Rather, it is an investment fund, the money to be provided by private investors. (Have I heard this story somewhere before?) Apparently, about […]
Corruption is everywhere you look. Trump’s order to the DOJ to simply hand over $1.8 billion is not only the worst corruption ever seen in Washington, but it is right out in the open for all to see. Trump is stealing all that money and daring anyone to stand in his way. This comes on […]
