Sure, the Supreme Court is being influenced by associate justices from Donald Trump's first term.  And of course, it is a conservative court.  However, their final decision for this season was announced today, and gives Trump what he wanted.  Block birthright citizenship to children of illegal immigrants, and also, in effect, curtailing the power of individual district court judges.  I can't believe they are colluding with him.  They must be just buying time to avoid judgement day, for if Trump defies a major decision by them, he becomes a dictator, for the Supreme Court, and too the U.S. Congress, don't have any enforcement powers.  The makers of our Constitution screwed up with this flaw.  By what happened today, American Democracy seems safe until next October. The U.S.dollar has dipped to a 3-year low.   Why?  Blame President Donald Trump. What this means is you are paying more for imported goods.  Maybe Trump is getting what he...

Until I mentioned his name in  my blog of two days ago , chances are that you never before heard of him.   Making a spectacular finish:  Muslim 32-year old Zohran Mamdani, a progressive state legislator. Well, as you know by now,  Mamdani shocked the city by beating former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary on Tuesday .  A huge hurdle remains:  4November2025 when he runs against Cuomo ( who will be allowed to compete as an independent) , current mayor Eric Adams ( also now an independent ), the Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, and other potential independent candidates.   Under normal circumstance, you would give Sliwa no chance.  But this time, three Democrats will trisect their votes, providing Sliwa an opportunity to sneak in as mayor.  I saw this WABC radio spot actually suggesting Sliwa as a possible Veep candidate last year. Ranked choice will not be used.  This process is called the  first-past-the-post...

Well it looks like President Donald Trump went from dud to hero to now....exaggerating oaf who lies, with bad timing. Watch this video where  Trump proclaimed that we completely and totally obliterated Iran's nuclear facilities . His intelligence staff, at this point, doesn't think so .  Which means he downright lied, again. Also, FactCheck.org headlined:   Iranian nuclear program damaged, NOT obliterated by U.S. attack .   The only source hinting that the bombings were serious was Iran.  But be sensible.  If you were Iran, your only position today is to plead that Trump's attack ruined their nuclear program so life can now go on with peace.  While announcing this kind of defeat, they  in parallel indicated that the United Nations nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, cannot anymore enter the country .  Could it be that they want to immediately proceed with building atomic bombs? For one, only Iran knows where th...
