Goodbye now, Donald J. Trump, and thank you for your service


USA TODAY

Is the post-Trump GOP already forming? 


None of us will live forever and nothing ever stays the same. Life always moves right along and it's quite a bumpy ride. The present calamity of Trump's lamentable presidency won't last very much longer. This too shall pass.  

Donald Trump's presidential term ends in just a year and a half. Can we expect him to then bow out gracefully? No, probably not. But is he completely done-for as a real political force? Yes, although he will keep on trying to insert himself when and where he is no longer welcome. He will resist being pushed aside, but, thankfully, his influence is already ebbing, even among stalwart Republicans. 

Move over now, Donald J. Trump, your time's almost up. You've already had your allotted 15 minutes of fame. Trump's political decline may proceed in fits and starts, but it's already happening--what a relief! That's not merely my wishful thinking, so mark my words! Just wait and see. We don't have very long now to wait until he's actually gone, gone, gone. Even Republicans are losing faith, but with Republican office-holders still putting on a good front.

Trump, Hegseth clashed at Camp David over Iran missile depletion concerns


Stockpiles are running low. Who is to blame? 

Israel has been ignoring all of Iran's peace overtures. So how about applying a little tough love there by reducing America's moral and economic support of Israel? Trump could do that right now, as his bromance with Netanyahu has already run its course. Both men are on their way out, though Trump may not realize yet that he himself is all done. But Trump still has economic leverage right now over Israel, our vassal state. Nor are American Jews as supportive of Israel as they once were.

In 1961, pop artist Andy Warhol predicted that anyone's fame would last for just 15 minutes. So Donald Trump's fame and influence are all over now. How will Trump be remembered? The history books will decide, but we already know that Donald Trump, contrary to his own prediction, will not be heralded as the greatest American president ever since Abraham Lincoln. But he may well be considered the quirkiest.

Trump signs orders targeting birthright citizenship

If I am not mistaken, most countries do have birthright citizenship. The US actually now needs more people, more babies, so birthright citizenship may be a way to help us get there since Trump has blocked our borders, especially the southern border. So we need to get more expectant mothers in here somehow. 
Apparently, Trump's mother was born in Scotland, so now let's send Donald back to his mother's birthplace if it will even take him.

This federal judge ruled against Trump. Then the threats began.


Donald Trump will soon be out of presidential office, and thank goodness for that! Until his time is up, he will remain a threat to our country and to the rest of the world. 
US voters, you made a big mistake in choosing President Trump. He is vindictive and a liar (also probably a rapist). If Kamala were our president now, none of all this would have happened.
US District Judge John McConnel has received at least 6 credible death threats and over 400 hostile messages after he blocked some Trump initiatives. Now he is just trying to keep his family safe until Trump finally leaves office.

CNN, Mexican influencer César Gastélum was shot dead on Tuesday while live- streaming in front of a fast-food restaurant in the northwestern Mexican city of Culiacán, according to local and federal authorities. 

Gastélum, who had over 600,000 followers on TikTok, was shot after being approached by two helmeted people on a motorcycle...A security official from the state of Sinaloa confirmed Gastélum's death and stated that a major security operation was underway. (And we certainly know just where all those guns in Mexico come from.)

A Tibetan activist shouting "freedom for Tibet" has died after setting himself on fire outside UN headquarters in NY City. Will he be considered a link in an historic chain leading to Tibet's eventual independence? Probably so, as China ultimately will have to give up Tibet, at least that is my prediction, although I will no longer be around if and when it actually happens.

A wild mama duck went out for a swim along with her 5 little ducklings. In the animal kingdom, fathers are rarely in evidence. They are often missing from human familieas well

A grieving mother dolphin carried her dead calf for days. Human mothers are not the only ones mourning lost offspring. (I've lost my older son and Cuban foster son, so I do know how Mama dolphin feels.)

The still image shown here below is from a video of our closest star, the sun. Our sun's molten perpetual-motion surface is always whirling, swirling, twirling--sending out constant light and heat. 
Without the sun, there would be no life on planet earth, including our own human lives. Humans, animals, and plants could well survive on earth without the moon, even without Mars or Venus. but not without the sun.

No, no, no

Gaggle of fools? Gaggle of idiots? Not to disparage folks with learning disabilities or with dyslexia, or even those with Alzheimer's or Down Syndrome, but none of them is trying to be our president like Donald Trump is doing right now. He should consider stepping down because he really isn't making any sense, showing us that his mind keeps on failing, just sliding right down a slippery slope, although he seems to be totally unaware of it. Check this out this website, as those disabilities can occur at any age but, in the elderly, they may become progressive, as in Trump's case:

Donald Trump is becoming increasingly confused, talking mostly just gibberish. He forgets a whole lot of things, sometimes even right in mid-sentence.   



For example, President Trump had gotten mix-up about the timeline of Mardi Gras during a live briefing, claiming that Louisiana had "just finished Mardi Gras" and that it was the safest one on record. In reality, Mardi Gras had taken place several months earlier on February 17, leading to widespread online mockery. Can Trump even make it to the end of his term? Does he actually know when that is? And where is Melania? We hardly see her at all anymore. She is now wisely off just doing her own thing

Trump vowed to 'bring free speech back.' Judges in 75 cases ruled that he has stifled it

Donald Trump only likes speech that supports him, certainly not any other kind.

===========================================================

Trump has repeatedly dismissed surveys on his historic unpopularity or that highlight his mental struggles and garbled speech.

"My REAL Polling Numbers, not those made up by the Fake News Media, are the best they have ever been," he posted to Truth Social on Monday.

Does anyone else really believe that? 

 

















President Donald Trump had attended the annual Group of Seven (G7) summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, from June 15 to June 17, 2026, seeming completely confused about what he should be doing there.

Housing foreclosures are way up, creating a big problem for the Trump administration to tackle. But
Trump seems to be completely ignoring that issue,





















Wash, Post, Trump keeps making threats. The world has stopped flinching.

Now folks have even stopped paying attention.

RFK Jr. accepts no responsibility whatsoever for unvaccinated children's recent deaths and disabilities, saying, "Absolutely not!" 

Will we ever be able to get rid of these idiots, not idiots in terms of IQ, but in terms of empathy, knowledge, and just plain common sense--I really meant to ask, when can we get rid of these selfish, uninformed, uncaring people?

As was mentioned before on this blog, I once shook hands with RFK Jr.'s father when he was campaigning in Sacramento, just before his tragic assassination. I had planned then to vote for the father. 

These days, Democrats seem to be just sleeping at the switch. They may be the majority party, but no one is actually in charge there any more. Kamala seems to be MIA and so is everyone else. Wake up, Democrats! Time now to get moving! 


Here's a TV show to take your appetite away.

New Republic, MAGA Rages at Lindsey Graham’s Sister for “Idiotic” Decision  [MAGA apparently had other plans.]

Darline Graham Nordone has announced her decision to run for a full term. While she did not always see eye-to-eye with her brother, her own political views are largely unknown. She is the mother of 2 daughters and has one grandson. She has been an active local disability rights' advocate. MAGA always knew where brother Lindsey stood, but Darlene's views are yet to be revealed. Her husband has always stayed quietly in the background and nothing is even known about his work.

This Henry Moore sculpture now on display outside the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, DC. is titled  King and Queen.
                
                 Is there more cloudy weather still ahead here or more gentle breezes with sunshine? 
                        In West Virginia, so far, we've had very pleasant summer weather.
