Trump / Imperialism and Autocracy
I wrote an essay called “Pieces of the Puzzle” on November 2, 2025, in which I laid out what I believed were the signs of an oncoming takeover of Venezuela. Many people, particularly Trump supporters, told me at the time that I was crazy, that we would never take over...
As I have written, we all have our own biases, formed through our own life experiences and education. No one is bias-free. Regarding the political foundations of the United States, my bias is towards an interpretation that government is formed to serve the citizens. ...
There are some good things that Mr. Trump has done including the Abraham Accords, Project Warp Speed, discontinuing the minting of pennies, and securing the Southern Border. There are others that are “in process” and for which history will record its verdict. For...
Last month when I wrote about the Pieces of the Puzzle in the Caribbean, I pointed out that there never was an actual issue about drugs. The issue from day one was the oil. The bombing of boats was designed to elicit a response from Maduro that could be used as an...

Can Mr. Trump serve a third term as President? Mr. Trump has floated the idea that he might actually be able to serve a third term as President. Although on the face of it this seems absurd, we might take a moment to consider how this might be constitutional or...
Some people have viewed my previous political posts as being negative; that they show my hate for Mr. Trump. This is not true. I have never met him, and my concerns are about what I see are the underlying principles of his policies. My attempts to understand our...

The Anatomy of a Trump Lie All Trump lies begin with a kernel of truth; but when fully formed have mutated into something unrecognizable. Take this quote from the Speech on Tuesday Night: “The Panama Canal was built by Americans for Americans, not for others, but...
