At End Of First Year Of Second Separate Term, Donald Trump “47” Ranks Lower Than “45”, And Below James Buchanan And Andrew Johnson In Presidential Rankings!

Ronald Leave a comment

America has had 45 Presidents, and Grover Cleveland and Donald Trump have had separate Presidential terms after being defeated, so therefore, Cleveland is both the 22nd and 24th President, and Trump is both the 45th and 47th President.

With nearly a year completed of Trump 47, it is clear to anyone who judges Presidential leadership that Donald Trump 47 is far worse than Trump 45, and clearly below both James Buchanan 15 and Andrew Johnson 17, the Presidents before and after Abraham Lincoln 16, with certainty.

Trump 45 has been both ranked above Buchanan and Johnson, and at times, below, but now there is no contest with Trump 47.

Trump 45 had some Cabinet and other advisers who were able, to some extent, control his urges, and prevent the worst policies imaginable, but Trump 47 has no such individuals who can tame his destructive and unstable desires and actions.

So Trump 47, added to Trump 45, is without any debate, the absolutely worse President in American history, no debate or doubts, if for no other reason than both Buchanan and Johnson served one term and all but six weeks of one term, respectively.

So many outrages and mind blowing statements and actions on a daily basis leave America in danger of autocracy being established in such a way that American democracy and the rule of law are in dire straits.

Any sane person who is not racist, misogynist, nativist, Islamophobic, or a sympathizer with Russia and other autocracies, can perceive anything decent or reasonable coming from Donald Trump 47.

His Cabinet Officers and other advisors are the most horrendous, corrupt, and obscene group ever created, and his administration is the most corrupt in every way imaginable, far more than Richard Nixon.

There are no perceivable redeeming qualities one can acknowledge, and the thought of another three years of this monstrosity, whether or not Donald Trump survives that long, is an absolute horror.

With Richard Nixon, the thought of Spiro Agnew as a possible successor was evaded, thankfully, and we had a decent alternative in Gerald Ford, but one cannot be optimistic about JD Vance, based on his actions and utterances as Vice President, that he would improve upon or abandon the policies of Donald Trump!

Chinks In The Armor Of Trump Land: Suzie Wiles Revelations, And More Damage Escalating!

Ronald 19 Comments

After taking a day off from commentary to celebrate my birthday, back to the horrors of the Trump Presidency, and its impact on the nation and the world!

A shocking series of interviews over a year between Donald Trump’s White House Chief of Staff, Suzie Wiles, and journalist Chris Whipple, reveals just how unstable Donald Trump is, and how his close advisers are also to be seen as dangerous to American domestic and foreign policy. Wiles tells us that Trump is “like an alcoholic” in behavior, even though Trump does not drink! Think about what that is saying about the man who has control of nuclear weapons!

This was followed by a lunatic speech by Donald Trump last night, full of lies and mistruths, truly a sign that Trump lives in his own reality, blaming everything on Joe Biden, and claiming the economy is in great shape, when all indications are just the opposite. He was yelling at the American people in his fast talking speech, blaming them for not believing what he says, according to public opinion polls.

And then, Trump has added nasty comments to portraits of the Presidents in the White House, focusing on Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and BIll Clinton, and has just had the personally selected Kennedy Center board rename it the Trump-Kennedy Center!

All these situations are further proof that the nation and the world are in great danger as long as bombastic narcissist Donald Trump sits in the White House, making lunatic statements, and being encouraged by his evil advisers, who do what they want, and he goes along, mostly out of ignorance and malice!

Tragic Death Of Rob And Michelle Reiner Demonstrates How Mentally Ill Donald Trump Is, And The Need For Him To Be Removed!

Ronald 2 Comments

The tragic murder of Rob and Michelle Reiner is a human tragedy of massive proportions, and the fact they were murdered by their son using a knife, makes it so personal and horrendous beyond belief.

Rob Reiner and his wife were both creative and beautiful people, who cared about justice, humanity, decency, compassion, and the promotion of progressive causes.

At a time of a tragedy as horrible as this, however, President Donald Trump had to act in a totally trashy manner, condemning Rob Reiner in outrageous and contemptuous terms, demonstrating just how mentally ill and unstable he is.

Donald Trump should now be removed from office, as he is a threat not only to the American people, but to the world at large.

Clearly, he is showing signs of mental instability and early dementia, and is unfit to be in charge of nuclear weapons!

Even the White House Chief of Staff Suzie Wiles has made clear that Trump is acting like an alcoholic, even though Trump does not drink!

What else is needed to say that it is time for Trump to be forced out of office against his will, as a threat to all mankind!

119th Congress So Far Most Unaccomplished Congress Since World War II!

Ronald Leave a comment

The 119th Congress, in its first year, has accomplished the worst record of any Congress, since records were kept since World War II.

One cannot expect the next session to be any better, and many members of the House of Representatives are either announced retirements, or plan to announce such soon.

Some are going on to run for Governor of their state or the US Senate, but most are just leaving elective office, feeling there is little motivation to stay, and in many cases, facing threats perpetrated by Donald Trump and his government against them.

The statistics are shocking!

As of now, Congress has only passed into law 128 bills, the worst since the 104th Congress (1995-1997), which had 430 bills passed into law, and was also the first Republican controlled Congress in 40 years, part of the “Republican Revolution” under Newt Gingrich!

This reality makes it seems clear that the Republicans are on the road to major losses and repudiation in the Midterm Congressional Elections of 2026!

Female Republican Revolt Against Speaker Of The House Mike Johnson!

Ronald 2 Comments

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is confronted with a revolt by Republican women in the House of Representatives.

Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, who has broken with Trump and is leaving Congress after five years in early January, has also been highly critical of the leadership of Johnson.

But also, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, who is leaving the House to run for Governor of her state, has also bitterly complained that Johnson is ignoring women Republicans in how he operates the House of Representatives.

And additionally, Elise Stefanik of New York, who is also leaving the House to run for Governor of her state, has been highly critical of the way Johnson operates.

The fact that Greene is leaving next month, and Mace and Stefanik, possibly before the end of the two year House term as they compete for the Governorships of their states, could endanger Republican control of the House before the elections in 2026, possibly putting Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in the Speakership sometime in 2026.

This anger could also affect how women look at the Republican leadership in the House of Representatives, and conceivably, sway many women to vote against the Republican Party in House and Senate races in 2026 and beyond!

Pete Hegseth Becomes Heavy Burden For Trump, But Seems More A Threat To Republicans In Upcoming Midterm Elections Of 2026!

Ronald 15 Comments

Secretary of Defense (NOT War as Trump claims) Pete Hegseth is becoming a heavy burden, as the Signal Gate (Signal Chat Leak Crisis) Scandal in the spring, and now the murder of survivors of what are seen as illegal attacks on so called drug boats in the Caribbean and Pacific by the US military, supposedly coming from Venezuela, are causing major problems, with many Republicans finally speaking out in outrage.

Trump was willing to “sacrifice” people around him in his first term, but it seems as if he is trying to continue to back controversial Cabinet members, of which there are many, this round in the White House.

Republicans in Congress are, clearly, running scared, as the projection now is that Democrats have a real shot at regaining control of the Congress, after the special Tennessee Congressional race was won by the Republican nominee only by 9 points, compared to when Trump won the district by 22 points in 2024!

Health Care Costs Will Skyrocket, And SNAP (Food Stamps) Will Be Cut Dramatically Next Month: The Height Of Cruelty And Loss Of Humanity!

Ronald 8 Comments

With four weeks to go until the New Year 2026, it is totally clear and obvious that we are going to witness a massive, skyrocketing increase in health care costs for tens of millions of Americans, thereby denying many of any ability to have health insurance coverage, and insuring the deaths of severely sick and disabled people of all ages.

Additionally, SNAP (Food Stamp) benefits will be cut dramatically, as the Trump Administration is working to crack down and deny basic food sustenance to millions of people who will starve and damage their health, all over the government demanding detailed records from “Blue” states on the background of recipients, as part of the plan to increase deportation rapidly of those considered “undesirable” from a whole slew of nations.

These actions are cruelty and demonstrate total lack of humanity and compassion by a government more evil than America has ever witnessed.

The Republican Party in Congress has totally failed at caring about the future of millions of Americans, with their refusal to challenge Donald Trump, and do the right, moral, ethical action on both of these issues!

So sadly, it seems unavoidable to recognize that the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) is likely to be in death spiral, at least until the Democrats, hopefully, regain control of Congress in 2026, still a long shot, particularly in the US Senate.

But even then, Donald Trump can use the veto power and deny millions of Americans basic health care, and also ignore food support for the poor and disadvantaged!

Unchecked Presidential Power Without Accountability!

Ronald 21 Comments

Donald Trump has, in a multitude of ways, and with the assistance of Republicans in Congress and the states, and the majority of the United States Supreme Court, gained unchecked Presidential power without accountability.

By comparison, Richard Nixon was a “choir boy”, and other Presidents who have been objectionable in different ways, such as Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson, and George W. Bush, pale by comparison!

Trump has horribly abused executive orders and issued outrageous pardons and commutations to law breakers, not only those from the January 6 US Capitol Insurrection, but also others who have committed other kinds of criminal acts.

Trump has incited the most extreme of MAGA Republicans to threaten lives of politicians who speak out or oppose him in any way.

Trump has worked to fix the elections in 2026, by outrageous interference promoting extreme gerrymanderins.

Trump has become an abuser in foreign policy, and totally alienated foreign nations and their leaders, and is very willing to undermine Ukraine, and promote the aggression of Vladimir Putin, as well as other authoritarians all around the world.

Trump has demonstrated extreme racism, misogyny, Islamophobia, nativism, and consorted with antisemites, while supposedly working with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Every day for more than ten months, Trump has worsened and undermined the lives of Americans, and instilled fear in people who are not white Christians.

And the problem is that his followers and his Cabinet and other top figures around him are only too willing to do his evil deeds with glee!

So even when and if Trump leaves the scene, the fear is that the cancer he has introduced into American government will be pursued beyond his lifetime!

My Lai 1968, Abu Ghraib 2003-2004: Crimes Against Humanity, Now Being Promoted By Trump Administration!

Ronald 25 Comments

On March 15, 1968, Army Lieutenant William Calley led a horrendous massacre of Vietnamese civilian men, women, and children at My Lai, South Vietnam, during the Vietnam War, only revealed in November 1969.

Between 350 and 500 innocent villagers were murdered, with rape and mutilation and torture of women and children and the elderly, with 26 soldiers charged with the outrageous war crimes, but only Calley served a short time, eventually having his sentence commuted to house arrest by President Richard Nixon.

This massacre increased the antiwar opposition in America to the Vietnam War, which bitterly divided America.

In June 2003, the first revelations of horrendous abuse of prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison complex in Iraq became public.

Widespread human rights abuses were occurring, with the use of torture, all types of shocking mistreatment on a grand scale, and many US troops seemingly enjoying what horrendous acts they were perpetrating on prisoners.

These actions were authorized by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Vice President Dick Cheney, and President George W. Bush, and many other White House staff, who knew what was occurring, even if not directly involved.

News media revealed the horrors, and showed many Army personnel, including many women, were involved in actions, and with photos showing their glee at what they were doing. Only a small number of troops were held accountable and served sentences after convictions.

It led to a belated apology by President George W. Bush in May 2004, but clearly, it led to greater troubles and expansion of the war in Iraq, which continued until 2011.

International law had been violated, and clearly, war crimes of massive abuses had occurred, and there was a sense that, like with My Lai 35 years earlier, there was never adequate accountability.

So many victims of both war crimes in 1968 and 2003-04 never received any justice, and so many victims lost their lives because of out of control military forces, which were also in league with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Now in 2025, we have attacks on so called “drug boats”, supposedly linked to Venezuela, and it seems likely that soon there will be an armed invasion of that South American nation, and a new military intervention, authorized by Donald Trump!

Trump Attack On Legal Immigrants And Naturalized Citizens After Attack On National Guard In DC: Outrageous!

Ronald 13 Comments

Donald Trump is now inciting greater nativism, utilizing ICE, and targeting legal immigrants and naturalized citizens, some here for decades, and undermining the security of various ethnic groups that have settled in America, specifically Afghan nationals and Somali nationals in recent years.

Trump also has said he wants the end of immigration from “third world nations”, displaying his racism, considering only “white” immigrants from Europe and elsewhere, including whites who have been allowed to migrate from South Africa, to be acceptable.

This is all part of a plan that the Ku Klux Klan, and the American Nazi Party historically, and many recently formed hate groups, as outlined by the Southern Poverty Law Center and the American Civil Liberties Union, and all other past and present white supremacist Christian groups and advocates, such as Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, as examples, are celebrating.

But it also threatens those of Jewish and Muslim religions, so is also an attack on religions outside of right wing Christianity.

Even Pope Leo XIV has promoted compassion, empathy, decency, and an open attitude toward immigration, reminding us that true Christianity and true democracy puts out its arms for the downtrodden, the oppressed, the victimized, totally opposite what Donald Trump is espousing and implementing.
