Our Monumental Global Adventure....or OMG Adventure....or Oh My God Adventure....was indeed memorable.  But before summarizing the entire trip, just had to first insert the latest travail....and trial....of Donald Trump. With all his tribulations, the  latest poll  just released by the New York Times and Siena College showed that Donald Trump leads Joe Biden in five of six key swing states.  What is wrong with America? Which is why I lead off with him. Michael Cohen is today testifying in Donald Trump's hush money trial, and will be doing so for a couple more days. Stormy Daniels did great last week. Why is Playboy model Karen McDougal not testifying?  Possibly because she was paid by the National Enquirer not to reveal that she had an affair with Trump.  There is a sense that Stormy did enough damage, and too much salaciousness might hurt the prosecution. Last week I posted  on what will happen at the end of this trial.  Today, here are my odds: The chances of Donald Trump not bei

  First some headlines. GOP Rep. Marjorie Greene finally did call a vote to  eject Mike Johnson  as speaker.  She lost by a vote of 359-43, with a lot of help from Democrats.  House Republicans are deciding if there should be consequences, about Greene, for even bringing this to the floor.  How things have changed. Stormy Daniels will be back today to even more bedevil Donald Trump.  Will there be further  graphic testimony ?  She was at one point scolded by Judge Juan Merchan for such language.  He has already threatened to jail Trump for his outbursts.  Watch her  five years ago with Jimmy Kimmel . Heard about the dead worm in RFK Jr's brain?  Well, hear this  from Stephen Colbert .   Said to be a tapeworm larva. Condition is known as  neurocysticercosis. Hospitalizes 1,000 to 2,000/year in the U.S. Can cause seizures, dizziness, psychosis, blurred vision and memory loss.  Can be fatal. Comes from eating raw or undercooked pork that carries this tapeworm. Contamination comes from

Donald Trump will win some and lose some.  He's had some important wins so far, most having do with the Republican presidential primaries, ownership of the Republican Party and affect on Congress.  My speculation of what will happen into the future.  First, I predict that he will become the Republican presidential candidate.  A good win for him.  If, against current odds, he selects Nikki Haley as his vice-presidential running mate, another big win for him. Let me start with the Supreme Court, and all the following are my guesses. They will allow him to run for president, a win for Trump. They will say, by not hearing the appeal court decision, or taking time to make a Supreme Court decision, that Trump is not immune from prosecution.  A huge loss for Trump. But when will all that clarify?  Almost surely by this summer, and probably even very soon. This will allow the DC trial involving Special Prosecutor Jack Smith / Judge Tanya Chutkan to proceed some time this summer. About thos

  The   trials and tribulation of Donald Trump   continue this week: Last week he was found liable for $83.3 million in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case.  And, by the way, that $5 million awarded to her had to be paid, and will be held by the state pending appeal.  The same will occur this time too, which means that Trump will need to sell something to meet that need.  I might add a  thing or two about Carroll . There is a  photo of Trump and Carroll (circled) in the 1980's  when she was in her 40's.  She was then writing for Saturday Night Live.  She looked pretty attractive. She has been twice divorced, the second one in 1990. In the mid-90's she was host and producer of the Ask E. Jean television series aired on NBC's American's Talking, the predecessor to MSNBC.  She won a CableACE Award in 1995. The incident occurred around 1995, or 1996. Carroll was one of 13 women who accused CBS Corporation executive Les Moonves of sexual assault in 2019.  Occurred in the
