The Inauguration was quite a spectacle, wasn’t it? Or, was it a Coronation? Watching and listening, I thought that President Donald Trump was going to reach under the lectern for the Crown and then pull a Napoleon Bonaparte while Crowning Himself Emperor Trump!! It wouldn’t have surprised me, as nothing he says, or does would anymore! No other Inauguration, since 1981 when I became a Citizen of this country, was this event hyped as much! As for the post swearing-in Speech? Trump immediately began brazenly trashing Everything Biden Administration! It was a Vengeful, Mean-spirited and Petty display of Retribution! Goodness Gracious How Audacious! Much as I despise Genocide Joe and always will, this Tactless Exhibition of Pure Insolent Vengeance made me cringe! Yet, Genocide Joe and Joyful Kamala listened with all the Poise and Grace that they could muster, and it was quite classy of them to do so, because in their place I would have had a major stroke!
From that point on and up to this minute as I am writing this it has been non-stop Executive Orders; Immigration Orders; Pardoning of the January 6 Insurrectionists (and securing his Own Militia should he need them to cause trouble at any point? You know what he told them once: stand down and stand by?); Reversing Everything Biden had done; Purging Government Career Employees; Withdrawing from the WHO (World Health Organization) and the Paris Climate Accords; addressing the Davos Attendees with another Bombastic Speech; Television Interviews from the White House and the Long List Goes On and On and On! This is how it will be for the Coming Four Years! The Energizer Bunny now resides in the White House! Let not One Person pretend that they are surprised or outraged! The “Golden Age?” of America will be unfolding in front of our very eyes, and if you listen to Trump pontificating about it you would really believe that!! (Inshallah, I say!) He is also our No More Wars President (who is targeting the Nobel Peace Prize?). We are naive if we just listen to the overt lobbing of bombs left, right and center as he throws red meat to his sheeple followers, because the dangers are not in those overtly lobbed bombs but in that hidden insidious agenda that is being executed and that we are not meant to be aware of. Breathtaking! World Organizations are aghast! World Leaders are Totally Befuddled as to how they should react to such an Outrageous Goodness Gracious How Audacious Phenomenon! All except Netanyahu who is cocksure that he can twiddle the Donald plus all the Trump Administration around his little finger! Who will prevail in this battle of two Alpha Males? It should be quite interesting in this Second Term of the Quid Pro Quo Era! Nevertheless, how will this Quid Pro Quo Par Excellence dealmaker handle the “Price Of Eggs” – an item that has recently become the proverbial synonym for Inflation? Because if that doesn’t happen he will be in hot water soon enough!
Meanwhile, it is explained that clowning around Elon Musk gave a Nazi Salute as he was “performing” at the Capitol Arena. Was it? Or, as some are describing that it was a Roman Salute? I have no idea. However, it would be very surprising for someone who is Jewish to be exhibiting a Hitlerian salute, wouldn’t it? Goodness Gracious How Audacious! On the one hand this Administration condemns Anti-Semitism, and on the other hand their followers articulate that: Jews Will Not Replace Us? It’s not only contradictory, it’s schizophrenic! Moreover, in Pete Hegseth we now have a Christian Crusading Knight who believes in a White Christian Nation and that the Church is above all institutions? Which Church? What Holy Texts? All this from a guy who is an adulterer, a rapist, and a drunk? Goodness Gracious How Audacious, as well as, again, schizophrenic and contradictory!
Also meanwhile, there supposedly is a Ceasefire in Gaza and Hostages are being exchanged. Of course, for every freed Palestinian Hostage the Israeli Government will arrest two, or more, new Hostages from the West Bank. Standard Procedure! Yet, the killings and atrocities in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon continue unabated, Ceasefire or not! Standard Procedure again, and more Lies, Deceit and Propaganda! Stalling! To what end, I wonder? Is it until the Palestinian Humans trudging back to their rubbled homes in Northern Gaza get shuttled off to neighboring Arab countries as Trump bombastically suggested? To Egypt and Jordan who are known for their brutal interrogation tactics, torture, false imprisonment and total disregard for human rights? Really?? What are we? Cattle in a herd? Disposable? Just like that? With the Remembrance of the atrocious Holocaust in the background this past week could Any One Person no matter who he, or she is suggest such a savage, brutal and totally inhumane and undignified idea? Goodness Gracious How Audacious!
There are more Contradictions to come in Trump’s arsenal! He says that he will stick to the Abraham Accords that “Jared Negotiated” while he fantasizes about Gaza as “Prime Real Estate Property” and promises the West Bank to be part of Greater Israel. Which one is it? He announces that MBS (Mohammed bin Salman) of Saudi Arabia will be investing Billions in the US, as that same MBS, as well as the Qataris promise a Palestinian State as per those same Abraham Accords? Which is it? It cannot be both, so we are all left tearfully, sadly, miserably wondering how this conundrum will play itself out? Tragic!
Sadly, when there are no rules or guardrails anymore, when policies are merely a whim, and, while cowards in our Government, as well as in Governments across the world are standing silent all of this chaos will come back to bite Everyone! Thousands of Philosophers, Poets, Writers, Historians and Social Scientists have warned us about this time and time and time again!
Well, it’s apparently going just like the American voters want it to go, right? People who voted for the Republicans knew exactly what was going to happen. It was all written down, put in a binder, and presented to the American people well before the election. There was a clear choice and people who should have supported democracy and decency either stayed home or cast votes for Project 2025 by voting for a dead horse. Well, here it is, even for those of us who voted vehemently against it… the brutality and stupidity is all ours.
