King Charles’ Brilliant Speech To Congress Reminded Donald Trump And Republicans Of Basic Principles!

Ronald 76 Comments

King Charles’s brilliant speech to Congress yesterday emphasized where Donald Trump and Republicans have gone awry.

In a lofty, historic address, King Charles spoke about:

Checks and Balances, as expressed in the Magna Carta of 1215 and the English Bill of Rights of 1688-1689, expressing the principle that executive power needs to be regulated in a democratic republic, governed by the rule of law.

The importance of preserving the environment, by dealing with climate change for the future, a lifelong commitment begun when Charles was a young prince and heir to the throne.

The significance of the NATO alliance and the defense of Ukraine, calling for continuation of the more than 75 year alliance, and defense of a nation under horrendous attack for more than four years against a nation which threatens European stability.

Additionally, King Charles reminded America that after September 11, the NATO alliance unified behind the US in fighting against the shocking terrorist attack against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The importance of the US-UK relationship was emphasized, even if the two nations have had their differences over specific issues and matters at times.

King Charles also emphasized the need for Christianity to work toward the goal of interfaith tolerance of all religions and peoples around the world, resisting hatred and violence.

King Charles will do well in history for his brilliance in addressing the issues that need to be dealt with by the United States for a secure and stable future for the nation and the world.

The question is, however, whether Donald Trump and the present sycophantic Republican Party in Congress will take the steps needed to insure that future.

    Good morning Professor. I read your very insightful and profound posting, and as always, you have me reflecting on where our country is today.

    When I was in the Navy we had a saying:
    “We the willing, led by the unknowing;
    Are doing the impossible, for the ungrateful;
    We have done so much, with so little, for so long;
    We are now able to do anything with nothing at all.”

    Our country’s governing bodies have been bought and paid for by Corporate Special interests, especially within the Republican Party today. It has the appearance that they have tossed aside any moral aspects. This is also referred to as “Ethical Fading.” This occurs when the moral aspects of a decision disappear, allowing individuals to focus solely on profitability, efficiency, or other goals without guilt.

    Many are taking the viewpoints that our country’s governing bodies are concentrating on representing solely corporations paid interest’s and not the best interest of the citizenry.

    I will give an example such as the Trump Administration’s gutting the environmental laws, give untethered reigning control to Corporations with the returning of poisoning the areas causing expensive and some deaths to the people within their area. We are now once again seeing toxic waste dumping, acid rain, and runoff of animal waste that is so high with estrogen steroids that now even Mountain stream trout male fish are developing eggs.
    Yes, male fish in mountain streams and rivers, including various trout species, are increasingly developing eggs in their testes;a condition known asintersex, due to exposure to estrogenic endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
    This phenomenon, where male fish exhibit both male and female characteristics, is a major environmental concern, with documented cases across North America and Europe.

    One cannot disregard that if one species is affected, that our own human epigenome is not being affected and altered too… overruling in favor Corporate profits!

    Trump’s War Powers Deadline on Iran Is Almost Up.

    “The war hits its 60th day on Friday, which under the 1973 War Powers Act is the deadline for the White House to secure congressional authorization for hostilities. The law allows a limited 30-day extension to wind down operations, but lawmakers are divided over whether that provision gives Trump more runway or forces Congress to step in.”

    And by “Senate,” Axios means to say “Senate Republicans plus John Fetterman,” but they don’t say that for whatever reason…

  16. Princess Leia April 29, 2026 10:34 am

    Fetterman might as well become a Republican. He likes to vote with them a lot.

  17. Rustbelt Democrat April 29, 2026 10:35 am

    Those actions by the FCC are clearly harassment and intimidation.

  24. Rustbelt Democrat April 30, 2026 5:42 pm

    That’s f’ed up.

  27. Rustbelt Democrat April 30, 2026 5:44 pm

    Most definitely NOT; in fact, he’d go down in infamy.

  30. Princess Leia April 30, 2026 5:46 pm

    The world never should have allowed North Korea to get nuclear weapons.

  32. Rustbelt Democrat April 30, 2026 5:57 pm

    Bessent is a broken, corrupt, bizarre, f’ed-up person.

  44. Rustbelt Democrat May 1, 2026 10:02 am

    Trump is insane, on top of being a Putin puppet.

  47. Rustbelt Democrat May 1, 2026 10:05 am

    She shouldn’t be under any arrest at all; she should be in charge of Myanmar!

  53. Rustbelt Democrat May 1, 2026 10:10 am

    Zeldin is heinous.
