Thank you as always Dan!

Hopefully Americans will realize the big mistake they made electing a man who was convicted of 34 felonies. We need to address why so many Americans would vote for a convicted felon as President of the United States. I think if the Greatest Generation, the generation cohort born between 1901-1927 was still alive( the link defining The Greatest Generation is posted here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greatest_Generation) that cohort would probably have kept him from even getting considered as a Presidential candidate in the first place. One of former President Jimmy Carters last acts was to vote for Kamala Harris for the 46th President of The United States. I wonder if one of the main reasons she did not get elected was she was partly African Americans, and being a woman. I wonder if too many American men are not ready to vote for a woman as President of The United States. Hillary Clinton also lost The US Presidency to Donald J Trump.

I'm amazed there are so many adjectives to describe trump. Thank you!

Thanks to the GOP MAGA SUPREME COURT SIX, Trump has free rein to break any law he chooses to break with impunity. He can kill people on the ocean extra-judiciously. He can invade other countries, take their oil, and sell it on the open market, and place the money in an account in Qatar, not the U.S. Department of the Treasury. He can embargo other island nations and starve them to death by keeping ships from coming through (thanks to Rubio having a hard-on against Cuba and wanting it crushed). And his latest is starting an illegal war of CHOICE on Iran.

I do not in any sense of the word, regret that the leader of that regime is no longer there. But we have had many decades of Real Presidents, not grifters, who choose not to start wars, but instead to work with Iran. But not Trump. First, last June, he bombed it for no apparent reason. And now, again, without any apparent reason, at least not one that the group of them could agree on, he takes us into what looks like a globally devastating war that may last for some time, and also may require boots on the ground, and now we hear that a draft has not been ruled out. Will his son and the sons and daughters of his Epstein class friends be called up? Of course not. Their numbers will be pulled out before the selection ever even comes to bear.

So, there we go. All this is because, they, the GOP MAGA SUPREME COURT SIX, want Trump and the Republicans to rule. To create an autocratic theocracy. They will rule for him 90% of the time, mainly on the shadow docket, so they don't have to give a reason. Now they are even taking cases that the state's highest courts have not even had the opportunity to hear. So much bullshit.

Our country's 250th anniversary won't be celebrated until this fool is out of office and in jail (along with his enablers).

What will future Presidents be allowed to do? How is our Checks and Balances so out of balance? It is all about the power, the power to line pockets, engage in war to line the pockets of defense contractors, manipulate the stock market, make the rich richer, and be damned the everyday hardworking people of this country. I hope I live long enough to see Trump's demise. So many have been in on the cover-up of Epstein's Empire that they have and will do anything to keep the truth at bay.

Personally, I'm scared to death by the lack of the separation of the three branches of our government. How much longer can this shameful presidency survive? We are slipping down into one man anarchy. trump is showing signs of full blown dementia and his followers are satisfied with that as long as they bow to trump's will.

Trump is making people sick physically & mentally. Shame on you trump, move universe.

One must admire, in a purely technical sense, the efficiency of a man who manages to monetize a war, a birthday, and a concert hall within the same fiscal quarter. Lesser grifters have required entire administrations to accomplish so much.

The bumper stickers, I suspect, will sell very well.

Rosalba Franceschini (Rosi)'s avatar

I can't admire trump's administration, politics anywhere. He is selfish & has no control over what he says or does. I know people like him, high class rich society level with no common sense & no empathy. Some university docents are similar: old fashioned and boring. No person to learn from. Too conservative.

Eleanor Vane's avatar

The comparison to certain tenured faculty is more apt than it might appear. The same incuriosity, the same certainty that the room exists to receive them. The difference is one of scale. That difference, regrettably, is the whole problem.

Rosalba Franceschini (Rosi)'s avatar

True & sad. Universities exist to teach, learn also from eachother. Not to make people do & think what authorities desire to hear. Universities exist for developing intelligence, not debts or idiocy, or wars.

Your report makes it sound as though the Arab and Muslim world community has been peacefully living their lives while Israelis arbitrarily attacked them. Yes, Israel has built walls between them and Palestinian populations. The West Bank separation barrier, built by Israel starting in 2002, significantly reduced terrorist infiltrations and suicide bombings by creating physical obstacles, forcing longer travel routes, and allowing for better monitoring via checkpoints. It led to a drastic drop in attacks from areas where the fence was completed. Before 1948, Gaza was under the administration of the British Mandate for Palestine (1917–1948) following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, which had ruled the region for centuries. Egypt ruled the Gaza Strip from 1948/1949 to 1967. Following the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, Egypt maintained administrative and military control over the territory until it was captured by Israel during the 1967 Six-Day War. Israel held direct control over the Gaza Strip from 1967 to 2005, when Israel unilaterally withdrew all its military forces and civilian settlers (over 9000 civilians) from the Gaza Strip in September 2005, ending 38 years of Israeli military presence and occupation. I was in Ashkelon in 1973 during the surprise attack on Yom Kippur, so don't complain about Ramadan being a holy month that shouldn't include war. I was there in 1994 during the bus bombings, when a friend had to comb her daughter's hair to remove the brain material from another bus passenger who wasn't as lucky as her child. Between 1948 and 1952 almost one million Jews were removed from the Arab countries where they had lived for almost 2500 years. Between 1948 and April 2025, there have been thousands of terror attacks by Arabs (Palestinians and others) against targets in Israel, resulting in over 5,340 deaths, according to Johnston's Archive. These attacks include bombings, shootings, and other forms of violence, with casualties peaking during conflicts like the Arab-Israeli wars and the Intifadas,. Direct, acknowledged missile attacks by Iran against Israel began in April 2024, marking a shift from decades of proxy warfare, including their funding and directing Hamas, Hezbollah, and current campus antisemitic riots against Jewish students. The vast majority of these missiles were launched in two major waves in 2024, followed by significant activity in early 2026. As of March 10, 2026, Iran has fired approximately 300 ballistic missiles at Israel during the current, ongoing conflict. The attack rate has slowed from an initial 90 missiles on the first day to fewer than 20 per day in the second week. Roughly half of these missiles reportedly used cluster warheads. By the way, Iranians prefer to be called Iranians, not Persians. Iranians prefer the term "Iranian" to "Persian" because it accurately reflects modern nationality, encompassing the country's diverse ethnic mix (including Azeris, Kurds, and Lurs) rather than just the Persian ethnic majority. While "Persian" is sometimes used abroad to avoid negative political stereotypes associated with the 1979 revolution, "Iranian" represents the official, inclusive state identity. Interesting historical tidbit, it was the Sasanian (later Iranian) King Cyrus who freed the Jewish exiles from Babylonian captivity and allowed them to return to Israel and rebuild their Temple that was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar II in 586 BCE. Also, the folks who live in Türkiye are not Arab, but Turks. Turkic peoples, primarily the Seljuk Turks, began migrating from Central Asia into Anatolia (modern-day Türkiye) in the early 11th century, with a major influx following their decisive victory over the Byzantine Empire at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071. This migration marked the beginning of the "Turkification" of the region, establishing Seljuk, and later Ottoman, control over several centuries. Not for nothing, Jews entered Anatolia (modern-day Türkiye ) as early as the 4th to 6th century BCE, with established communities existing by the Hellenistic period. Finally, what you have determined as an overreaction to Hamas' invasion and subsequent murder, rape, and kidnapping of Israelis and others on October 7, also notice that it hasn't stopped Hamas from continuing its intention to destroy Israel. If you had done any research into anti-Western thought by Arab and Muslim scholars and religious leaders you would know that it did not start with the current war in Gaza. Anti-Westernism among Arab Muslims is a deeply rooted sentiment fueled by centuries of conflict, colonialism, and perceived cultural humiliation, evolving from the 11th-century Crusades to modern opposition against Western foreign policy. It's also true that the Arabs themselves were not against the idea of conquest, witness the 7th-8th century Muslim conquests that rapidly expanded the Umayyad Caliphate across Arabia, North Africa, and the Iberian Peninsula, establishing a vast, religiously and culturally transformed empire. Key actions included the rapid unification of Arabia, control of North Africa during a series of campaigns in the 7th and early 8th centuries, starting with the conquest of Egypt in 640–642 AD and concluding with the fall of the last Byzantine strongholds around 709–711 AD. The Arab-led expansion swept across the Maghreb, a North African region encompassing Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Mauritania, which replaced Byzantine and Berber control, and established Islamic rule that became permanent. And the 711 invasion of Iberia (Spain). Muslim incursion into Western Europe was primarily halted by the Battle of Tours in 732 AD, where Frankish leader Charles Martel defeated the Umayyad Caliphate army. Martel’s disciplined, heavy infantry stopped the cavalry-driven expansion, causing the death of commander Abd al-Rahman Al Ghafiqi and forcing a retreat. While some historians suggest the battle was more of a raid than a full-scale conquest, it is widely recognized as a major halt to the rapid expansion of the Caliphate into Western Europe. Why do you think Hamas, Hezbollah, or the Iranian Revolutionary Guard fail to care enough for their citizens to make peace with Israel? Hint: it's not because Israel is mean to the Palestinians. Consider that the Muslim desire for conquest has evolved from strictly military, to making sure the Palestinians continue to suffer in order to promote their social media and campus propaganda to leverage world-wide antisemitism in general and anti-Israel attitudes in particular. People like yourself, who seemingly only see Palestinian suffering and only blame Israel for it, somehow haven't looked at Palestinian leaders as having any responsibility at all for them. Muslim expansion into Europe was seen as a war against Christianity. Today it's a war against the Jews, because they have to blame someone for their failure to conquer the world.

In my world history college classes of the 1960's I don't recall anything about the above diatribe but your comment is welcomed by me.

You can be anti Netanyahu and his government this does not equate to being antisemitic. If antisemitism is rising you can lay it at Netanyahu’s door!

Noah's avatar

I lay the rise of antisemitism right at the door of antisemites, who extend their criticism of Netanyahu's policies to blame every single Jew who walks the earth.

Van's avatar

Except millions of Jews also blame Netanyahu for the rise of antisemitism.

Noah's avatar

And before Netanyahu who did the antisemites blame? And before that guy? And the one before that? Antisemitism has been around since the 3rd century BCE, when the Greek-speaking Egyptian priest and historian Manetho is widely considered one of the earliest sources of anti-Jewish writing.

Typo War Profiteering!

So the plan is, enrich myself and all my friends and screw the American people.

Being President is just another business deal to him. We know this war will lead to worldwide chaos and disruption economically. If he can make money it's great and damn the consequences.

Trump almost makes Nixon look like a saint. What an unmitigated jerk. Never mind affordability, Trump is heading us into a world wide recession. Those of you who are old enough, do you remember the OPEC crisis of the 70's, when prices went up daily? When you could only buy gas on odd or even days depending on your license plate number. We could be heading for even a worse outcome.
