    Donald John Trump and MAGA Represents Racism and Cruelty

    It’s a widely accepted view among scholars and historians that fascism, racism, and cruelty are closely linked and often exist together. Trump, MAGA, and fascism prioritizes the nation or a specific group (often defined by race or ethnicity) above all else, supporting extreme nationalism, authoritarian rule, and the suppression of opposing voices. Donald Trump: Aggressive Rhetoric and Political Violence. In…

    Donald John Trump’s Big Beautiful Holes in Iran

    The US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, including Operation Midnight Hammer, involved a significant deployment of resources. For example, seven B-2 stealth bombers, each valued at approximately $2.1 billion, participated in the mission. Over 125 US aircraft were involved in total, including bombers, fighters, tankers, surveillance aircraft, and support crews. The bombs dropped during the strikes, such as the fourteen…

    What has Donald Trump’s Klepto-Kakistocracy Regime done to the Veterans Administration?

    Trump’s appointee to run the VA replaced the HealthyVet website, which veterans like me used to contact anyone on their VA health team that deals with our health issues, with a new website where we had to prove we were human and us, before we could switch accounts. To prove I was human, I had to go to a local US…

    Walking in Hitler’s Shoes on the Path to World War III

    I recently read in the Atlantic that Hitler imposed tariffs on Germany’s major trading partners when he became chancellor, tanking Germany’s economy putting that country further down the path toward World War II. So, when I read this post, I started fact-checking to verify all of Hitler’s footsteps Trump has followed wearing Hitler’s shoes, on the same path to another…

    My Battle between Building an Author’s Email List or finishing Fiddling with Death

    Since my first novel, My Splendid Concubine, came out in December 2007, I’ve done almost everything legal to promote my books. Still, there’s one promotion method I haven’t tried, creating an author’s email list that includes free reader magnets. “An author’s email list is a collection of email addresses from readers who have opted-in to receive updates and news from…

    The irony of digital devices eating our brains

    To entertain us 24/7, and allegedly make our lives easier and happier, we are only making our species dumber, disturbed, and irrationally more dangerous. With the arrival of AI, I think our biological brains are going to shrink a lot more until all that’s left is our reptilian brain where fight or flight resides. The home of PTSD. Why think…

    What happened to the ballots for more than 11,000,000 voters in the United States?

Could the culprit have been Louis DeJoy, who was appointed the 75th U.S. postmaster general by the Board of Governors (the majority loyal to Trump or the Republican Party) of the US Postal Service in May 2020.…
