TRUMP: One, Final, Egregious Trait.

Had enough of Donald Trump?  Well, I'll end with another egregious trait, his disdain for what should be good and supported.  For example, he kept making fun of global climate warming and began the process of withdrawing from the Paris Agreement.  But those diplomats in the UN are not total idiots.  The departure process insured for a one year delay so that about the time the U.S. officially was to have departed, Trump lost to Biden.  Of course, President Joe Biden scuttled the exodus, and rescued America, and the World.

He is xenophobic and particularly despised NATO and the UN.  For example:

  • Withdrew the U.S. from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in October of 2017.  Had something to do with bias of the UN against Israel.  Well, whatever, it was, President Joe Biden worked it out, for we are rejoining UNESCO next month.

About that lack of heart, Trump tried to eliminate the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), Institute of Museum and Library Services, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides funding for PBS and National Public Radio.  

  • The NEA gets 0.004% of the U.S. budget.
  • An Ipsos Public Affairs survey showed that by a 2-1 ratio, Americans supported DOUBLING the NEA budget.
  • Congress saved the NEA during Trump's reign, and Biden again increased it's annual budget.

Finally, Trump has a theory that exercise is bad for you.  More?

  • Sleeps 4 hours/night.
  • Got divorced from his second wife Marla because she supposedly had an affair with a bodyguard.
  • He is a germaphobe and avoids handshakes.
  • Is overweight, and the third heaviest president.
  • Won a Razzie as Worst Supporting Actor.  Actually, he now has three Razzies.
  • Has been sued more than 3000 times.
  • More than 20 women has accused Donald Trump of sexual misconduct.
  • Has short fingers.
  • Has nicknames:  Tiny Hands, King of Debt, Orange Julius, World's Greatest Troll and Godzilla with Less Foreign Policy Experience.
  • Was the first billionaire president.
  • Has been a Democrat, Independent, and now runs the Republican Party.
  • Is the only president with no military or political experience.
  • Starts his workday at around 11AM.
  • There are 120 of these facts to drive you nuts.
Can't end the week with Donald Trump.  Heard that the Beatles will release a final song?  Watch this.  Even John Lennon and George Harrison are involved...using Artificial Intelligence.  Legality?  Spotify had the AI music of Drake and The Weeknd for 600,000 streams until it yanked it off their platform.

THE ENIGMATIC PHIL SPECTOR

The first presidential debate of Donald Trump and Joe Biden ended up in a near tie.  Both lost.  However, it was an unmitigated disaster for Biden, who just might be too old to win this re-election. For Trump, it was a reinforcement of what he does all the the time, lie.   There will be significant calls for the Democratic Party to work out "something" to replace Biden as their presidential candidate.  Suddenly, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom and Michelle Obama are added to the spotlight.  But what can "legally" occur at the August Democratic Convention? The situation is different on the Republican side, as Trump is the Republican Party, and no matter if he gets 4 years at his felony sentencing on July 9, or even if the Supreme Court determines he is not immune next week or later, he will be the presidential candidate. Trump is a damned boastful liar and convicted felon, but that is the only option for Republicans.  His vice-presidential choice now become...

THE TRUMP ENERGY PROGRAM

From  Time  magazine, I begin with a slew of Trump topics.  You can read the details. The unpopular Big Beautiful Bill is now in the House . The only truly effective anti-Trump person:  Elon Musk. The Trump Gaza ceasefire proposal . The July 4th Free American Anti-Trump Protest planned across the USA . This site began as a renewable energy and environment blog, and has evolved to just about any subject.  I try to keep Wednesdays for sci-tech, with perhaps a monthly focus on energy.  More recently, I've drawn from the  Energy Matters  info sent to me by the American Energy Society.  I'm inserting direct quotes this time to eliminate my predilections for more credibility. This service starts with some broad topics. - Fossil fuels: Helium is locked in a supply crunch, and prices are surging. - Renewables: Congress will probably pass new renewable fuel standards for 2026 and 2027. - Policy: President Trump is now focused on Califor...

ON THE MATTER OF PUBLIC HOLIDAYS

Hawaii today celebrates King Kamehameha the First Day as a public holiday.  Next Monday, June 19, or  Juneteenth,  is a Federal holiday.  However, 22 states, including Hawaii, do not recognize this as a public holiday.  Four of these will begin to honor this day next year, not Hawaii.  Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery.  Here are the Hawaii holidays, and note three that only we have: New Year’s Day: 1st day in January Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day: 3rd Monday in January Presidents’ Day: 3rd Monday in February Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole Day: 26th day in March Good Friday: Friday before Easter Easter:   Calculating Easter Memorial Day: Last Monday in May King Kamehameha I Day: 11th day in June Independence Day: 4th day in July Statehood Day: 3rd Friday in August Labor Day: 1st Monday in September Veterans’ Day: 11th day in November Thanksgiving Day: 4th Thursday in November Christmas: 25th day in December There are  11 paid Fede...
