Well....Donald Trump is not the Devil, as depicted in  The Bible .  However, the results of recent court judgements show that he is, indeed, everything you thought he was, and worse. Key issues and resultant fallouts now become more relevant: Is the Republican Party in mortal danger? Now we know why Nikki Haley continues to run against Trump.  All those lies and cons about losing his 2020 presidential election and weaponization of the Justice Department should be ignored.  Okay, few of his supporters will, but the case is building. He is a judged fraud.  He revealed that and worse when he was once president.  And he will almost surely become the Republican selection to run against Biden. The Supreme Court will probably rule that he will be eligible to do so. However, all that has happened, and more--say, dealing with the matter of democracy--will surely convince that body to indicate that he will not be immune to prosecution in a criminal case.  And, I think, by this summer, if not soo

Joe Biden today became the first sitting president to join a union picket line.  Biden specifically said that the UAW should get a  40% raise .  40%?  Yikes.   See his presence  on You Tube.   Donald Trump  visiting Michigan tomorrow to meet with UAW workers.

Seven Republicans.  Anyone know who  Douglas Burgum  is?  Oh, he is a former governor of North Dakota, and  a billionaire . Fox News announced that it will host a November 2023 debate between two governors, Ron DeSantis and Gavin Newsom.

She writes  in more detail regarding that damning exposé about Donald Trump and his cronies on 6January2021.  Note that sh

Cassidy Hutchinson, 25-year old aide to President Donald Trump's Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, was the only witness at the House January 6 Committee hearing today.  While she provided further proof of what happened that day was planned, with Trump as prime instigator, there was nothing particularly startling.   Well,  VOX 's headline was: The 4 most shocking revelations from a real bad afternoon for Donald Trump You can read the article yourself about  those four bombshells.  As this 6th hearing was called so suddenly, there was at least some disappointment that nothing even more revealing was shared.  I guess her personal presence will in the future make it easier for others in the inner presidential sanctum to come forward.  She appeared even though Trump cronies threatened her in so many ways, showing unusual courage, morality and patriotism, absent from most Republicans today. For nostalgic Tuesday, I go back to  23September2008 , which repeated Appendix A from  SIMPLE SOLUT
