Here’s a great quote. It’s from an article at Bloomberg.com regarding the financial state of the parent publishing company of the National Enquirer (they apparently have a negative net worth - their debt/liabilities exceeding their assets). “...Trump said last month that the National Enquirer produced ‘far more accurate’ news stories than the Bezos-owned Washington … [Read more...]

Boy, I really need to take some executive time. I’ll either be in the residence napping, watching Fox News, or twittering for hours on end. If either of my pals, Vlad, or Kim Jong-un call, please wake me up - I love talking to them, they’re my BFFs! To heck with this leading the nation nonsense, it obviously can run very well without me. I don’t understand why people think this job is so hard?? … [Read more...]

“Who knew being president of the United States could be so hard?” “Who knew being a world class leader could be so hard?” “Being President is so complicated, who knew??” “Leading the government of the United States is so hard, who knew?” … [Read more...]

Not my idea or words...so I’m not able to take credit for them. ==== Does anyone think it would be neat if Donald Trump used Facebook instead of Twitter? Then he could write longer pieces, with more in-depth information and commentary on his thoughts and ideas and statements, instead of being limited to very short tweets. Also then people could respond on his page, like China and whatnot, and … [Read more...]

This is something I apparently wrote two years ago. [feel free to skip it if you don’t want to read anything related to our current President.] ==== Tonight, as I try to fall asleep, I'm reminded of an episode of "The West Wing", (from Season One, Ep 14, "Take this sabbath day.") President Bartlett had to decide whether to "stay" an execution that was scheduled to happen in less than 48 … [Read more...]

Well, if you’ve been reading my posts tonight, you will know I’m watching “All the President’s men”. Here is something that occurred to me as I’m watching (I’m about ninety minutes into it, and have about 45 mins left). Follow me while I walk you through this. Most of us all know ”Watergate” all started one evening in June, 1972. It took two yrs for “everything” to come out, and for President … [Read more...]

Watching “All the President’s men” (1976), just started - seen it before, more than forty yrs ago. Bob Redford, and Dustin Hoffman are so, so very young! Not sure if I’m going to watch the whole thing or not... Yes, it’s a slow night at the Williams’ residence. 🎞📽📺 😉🤓 … [Read more...]

President Trump’s “goals” and/or “accomplishments”: Withdraw from the climate change treaty/pact - done. Withdraw from NATO - deferred for now. Scrap NAFTA - done. Withdraw from TPP agreement (Trans-Pacific Partnership) - done. Repeal ACA (“Obamacare”) - done. Withdraw from JCPOA (“Iran nuclear deal”) - done. Withdraw from one of the nuclear missile limitation treaty’s with Russia - … [Read more...]

I wrote this Blog post on Saturday morning. I’m posting it a second time now just in case it was lost in your feed over the weekend, etc. Two other things: first, it’s just another post of mine on the U. S. presidency, and secondly, it’s a bit on the long side (to say the least). Feel free to skip past, ignore, comment, hit the ‘delete’ button, etc. [my ‘stupid’ feelings will not be hurt, I … [Read more...]

To be frank with my blogging audience, when President Obama was in office, at the time I didn’t think he was doing such a “great” job. I didn’t pay much attention to what he was or wasn’t doing. While he was in office, I just thought of him as an average, “pretty good” president. I didn’t pay attention to him that much because he didn’t constantly have the need to be in the limelight. He didn’t … [Read more...]

An hour or two ago, I read the following words by well known TV advertising spokesperson Mike Rowe, regarding the book just published by Bob Woodward: “...’Fear’, a rather depressing tome designed to scare and divide the country even further than it already is.” ==== I shake my head, since I guess I’m so naive that I didn’t realize this was Mr. Woodward’s intention, while reading Bob’s book … [Read more...]

From a CNN article, dated this morning. ==== "I mean the truth of the matter is over the last eight years despite what we heard from President Obama on Friday, I mean this country was struggling ... it was the weakest economy since the Great Depression," Pence said. [BSW: Shaking my head. Yes, the Great Recession started toward the end of President George W. Bush’s presidency in the summer/fall … [Read more...]

Reuters - U.S. President Donald Trump criticized social media companies on Friday, saying without evidence that they have silenced "millions of people" in an act of censorship. Trump did not mention any companies by name. On Tuesday, Facebook Inc, Twitter Inc and Alphabet Inc removed hundreds of accounts tied to an alleged Iranian propaganda operation, while Facebook took down a second campaign … [Read more...]

Quote of the decade: “I don't know how you can impeach somebody who has done a great job,” Mr Trump told Fox News. “I will tell you what, if I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash. I think everybody would be very poor because, without this thinking, you would see – you would see numbers that you wouldn't believe, in reverse.” … [Read more...]

Finally someone (apparently, a whole bunch of someone’s) are standing up to our current President, and his stupid “the press is our enemy” nonsense. https://www.npr.org/2018/08/16/639125774/hundreds-of-newspapers-denounce-trumps-attacks-on-media-in-coordinated-editorial … [Read more...]
