It worked. Trump has changed the subject.

It worked. Trump has changed the subject: ‘ Breaking news: U.S. says it struck 16 Iranian mine-laying vessels near oil route’ https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03/10/world/iran-war-trump-us-israel?campaign_id=60&emc=edit_na_20260310&instance_id=172307&nl=breaking-news&reg I do not mean to imply that news of Trump’s disastrous Iran Adventure is not newsworthy. I ask here, that we do not forget what the conversation was before Iran -   *New York Times 2/3/26* ‘’You need to pay attention to the guns ICE agents are pointing at all of us. You also need to pay attention to everything happening around the guns. Just before Jonathan Ross, an ICE agent, pulled the gun that he discharged into Good’s S.U.V., he was shooting video of the incident on his cellphone. The gun and the phone are both weapons — one a tool for violence and the other a tool of control.’’ https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/opinion/ice-surveillance-protesters.html?campaign_id=39&emc...

2 Meetings, Many Words – No Progress.

  Without any independent verification, with No U.S. Intelligence support, Trump relies totally on something Russian Pres. ‘Putin told’ him about a Ukrainian attack on Putin’s home. Trump, in his typical 3 rd Grade vernacular, (with my apologies to 3 rd Graders), said a reported attack, reported of course by Putin alone, ‘Made him mad’, and was ‘wrong’.          Brilliant oratory there Mr. President. Jackass.          This nonsense followed extensive conversation with      Ukrainian President Zelensky. Conversation that occurred only after Trump spoke with his Russian Partner, Putin. Trump used many words, simple words to be sure, to get Pres. Zelensky to agree a bunch of Conditions in order to claim successful, ‘Productive’ Negotiation. These Conditions though, are not anything Russia will agree to, when all is said and done. For example: Pres. Zelensky agrees to Ukraini...

General Order

  Trump’s Hand-picked, Deplorable Secretary of Defense, um, Secretary of War [?] just called our Military’s Top Commanders, Worldwide, to report to Washington DC for – a Rally? New Orders? New Defense, Uh, War Department Directives? A Visit with the Commander-in Chief? Those who  do know the  reason why aren’t saying, and those who are saying  don’t know. ‘One general said he had received “no info whatsoever” and had been told to just be there.’   NY Times  Eric Schmitt  9/26 https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/09/restoring-the-united-states-department-of-war/ Executive Orders September 5, 2025 ‘By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Sec .  2 .   Implementation .  (a)  The Secretary of Defense is authorized the use of this additional secondary title — the Secretary of War — and may be recognized by ...

Musk: More is Revealed

That explains a lot. Now it makes sense. The Guy was riding High and Mighty on Drugs.   This is the ‘High’ Quality White Ho use personnel we’ve c ome to expect from the Donlad J. Trump Administration.   NY Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/us/elon-musk-drugs-children-trump.html   ‘Mr. Musk’s drug consumption went well beyond occasional use. He told people he was taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic , that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. He took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms . And he traveled with a daily medication box that held about 20...

Medicaid, Liars

  https://joey2blog.blogspot.com/2025/05/%3Cscript%20async%20src=%22https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3976745055486891 , NY Times By  Sarah Kliff and Margot Sanger- Katz  May 16, 2025   “ The expansion of Medicaid has saved more than 27,000 lives since 2010, according to the most definitive study yet on the program’s health effects. ”   These Facts do not dissuade Trump and MAGA Republicans from pu shing the broadest, highest-impact Medicaid Cuts ever seen in America.   “ Poor adults who gained Medicaid coverage after the Affordable Care Act expanded access were 21 percent less likely to die during a given year than those not enrolled, the research shows. By analyzing federal records on 37 million Americans, two economists found that deaths fell not only among older enrollees but also among those in their 20s and 30s ” - the group House Speaker Johnson said, ‘Need to get off the couch’.   NY...
