Donald Trump, with his very brief attention span, is probably an elder with ADHD. Forget Greenland now, as he has pivoted to Cuba. Can you imagine working for Trump? Just be ready to turn on a dime, trying to follow contradictory, changing, or confusing orders!
I've been hearing from friends back in DC, so many thanks for that. As I told one former neighbor: "I hope to live to see the day when Trump retires, but now he's talking about running for vp next time. I pity whoever might be his running mate at the top of the ticket!"
Trmp suggests Marco Rubio could soon get another job — president of Cuba | New York Post https://nypost.com/2026/01/11/
Newsweek, Donald Trump on Marco Rubio as Cuba’s President: ‘Sounds Good to Me!’Rubio, though US-born, speaks quite credible Spanish, as I've reported here myself, after once chatting with him in both Spanish and English on a flight between south Florida and Washington, DC. Marco Rubio's name might not be familiar to Cubans on the island and if they will actually be voting for a new president, they might prefer to pick the candidates themselves, rather than having Trump name Rubio who has never even been to the island. Since Cuba is emerging now from a dictatorship, how about letting Cubans decide what to do next? - Reuters:. Cuba has the right to import fuel from any suppliers, foreign minister says.
- Venezuela was Cuba's largest supplier last year with some 26,500 barrels per day of crude and fuel. Mexico is emerging as alternative oil supplier to the island.
- Cuban president says Cuba prepared to "defend homeland to last drop of blood."
Here now is a message on Cuba from Donald Trump.

Pope Leo also has had a few things to say.

While Donald Trump has been busy making plans for Venezuela, Cuba, and a Danish island, he has not been focused on what's happening right here in the USA, where citizens are increasingly turning against him. Now the US military is not being used just to protect us from outside forces, but to protect the US president and his entourage from citizen anger, something dictators usually do.
A long commentary on that subject was just received:
Megalomaniac?
Dictionary definitions describe a person like this as obsessed with their
own power and having a delusion that their power is greater than it is. It
is a species of insanity. In public discourse, the term was regularly
applied when I was young to the Soviet dictator Josef Stalin and similar
figures.
You know where I am going with this. Any President of the United States is
fairly described as the most powerful person, let alone political leader,
in the world. But what are we to make of a President who, when asked if
there are any limits on his power, says that the only limits are his own
morality–about which any number of questions have been raised–or the
workings of his mind, which has a record of tending toward the gilded and
grandiose, whether in escalators, buildings or Governmental undertakings,
either foreign or domestic?
The 25th Amendment comes to mind. Except that the person next in line, as
well as those following him, have a track record of indulging our
Megalomaniac-in-Chief’s excesses. Along with a similarly indulgent Supreme
Court majority, they surely are enablers of his psychopathology rather than
people we might look to for a better, less lunatic, future. It seems we
are stuck with a Nutcase in indeed the most power-laden job in the world, a
man at the same time so afflicted with Megalomania as to threaten to shred
what we have left of a democratic Constitutional order.

Now comments on just 2 more things.
There is a WalMart in Martinsburg, only a few miles from us here in Berkeley Springs, which may be using some drone deliveries to reducc the trek by truckers. Whether local customers could get drone deliveries right to their doorstep, however, might prove rather problematic, as many folks like us live out in the country with rural addresses that may be hard for a drone to find.
Sex scenes in films and TV involving 2 women are not uncommon, as in this current movie trailer that popped up just when I logged onto the computer. But how often do we see scenes of 2 naked men kissing? I don't recall ever seeing that. Of course, they would be found on gay porn sites. Probably the image of 2 naked women kissing is designed to mostly appeal to straight men. If so, I'm not sure of the psychology involved there. (Reader comments are most welcome.)
