Just carrying on…

This has been an interesting year so far. I’ve posted some fairly lengthy diatribes expressing my thoughts and feelings. But I am just a powerless voice in the woods of western Canada, so shaking my fist at the sky is more personal therapy than any kind of action towards solving a problem.

But my life, despite its human difficulties, frustrations, and times of sadness, is actually pretty good. Every once in a while the world spins in a way that restores a bit of my tattered faith in humanity… or just brightens my day. Our Federal election results this week here in Canada are one of those positive rotational incidents.

Trumpcession…

I have been pondering what to write about ‘Liberation day’ since April 2- the day itself. Trump unleashed the stupidest tariff war, writing off over six trillion dollars of stock market value in the two days that followed. The stock market isn’t the economy but any time the stock market drops 10% in two days it is time to be concerned.

I’m going to try to break this down a bit for myself and hopefully doing so will help others who are attempting to parse the events. What follows is an expression of my opinion based on actual analysis: you may disagree with me freely, but I am reasonably secure in my understanding of the facts. This is a long one- Buckle up, and feel free to use the table of contents to jump around to what interests you!

America joins Russia…

The world is topsy turvy at the moment. There are a lot of things being done by Trump and Musk that sicken me and frankly should outrage any American worthy of being called a citizen. But if there is one thing I have to pick that angers me the most it is how the U.S. is now treating the Ukraine and Russia.

Apparently the Ukraine is to blame for Russia illegally invading them, destroying Ukrainian cities, and killing tens of thousands of innocents. If I understand correctly, they are guilty of not surrendering their home and land to the Putin dictatorship. Oh, and Putin isn’t the dictator: Zelensky is.

Why is the leader of the U.S. parroting Russian propaganda lies? And how can any ‘peace’ negotiated by this toddler possibly be considered ‘fair’?

Not the end of the world… hopefully

Trump has won the presidency again. The American people have proven once more that they are, in the majority, outrageously poor judges of character as well as full of hate, fear, and bigotry. The Republicans now hold the Presidency, the Senate, the majority of state Governorships, and the Supreme Court: the House of Congress is almost certain to end in their hands as well. I am, to put it mildly, disappointed.

So what now? What can we expect in the upcoming four years starting in January of 2025? I have no crystal ball, but I have some thoughts. And think it might be interesting to look back on this post in a few years, assuming I survive to 2028, to see how many things I worried about came to pass. My thinking here is based on what Trump has said, the contents of Project 2025, and my own speculation.

Jeff Bezos is a pathetic coward

There is a lot of anger and anguish pouring out on the internet over the past 48 hours. The Washington Post, a bastion of the ‘old guard’ news media, has chosen to be silent on their recommendation for the 2024 U.S. election.

Their stated position is that this is a ‘return’ to historical political neutrality. But they haven’t been quiet about their recommendations in previous elections for the past several decades. Why the sudden shift? Because Jeff Bezos is a narcissistic and pathetic little pissant coward. The editorial staff of the Washington Post had an endorsement of Kamala Harris ready to print, but Bezos stopped it. One of the richest men in the world is cowering under his $200 billion dollars of wealth against the possibility that the Almighty Trump might win the 2024 election.
