The flip-flop of Chris Sununu...

Republicans have rounded up all their wayward children and have put them on the right track. If they do not support Donald Trump, they can never expect to be supported by the Party ever again.

They are fighting to survive as a Party. Nothing else matters. If the country goes under, if the democracy becomes a autocracy, it doesn't matter. So long as they are in power, nothing else matters.

Somebody whispered in the ear of Chris Sununu. He had been a vocal opponent of Donald Trump up until very recently. Then he had his epiphany. On nationwide television, he said it didn't matter if Trump led an insurrection against this country. It didn't matter if he was convicted in a court of law. It didn't even matter if he was in jail. He was now supporting Donald Trump.

Why the abrupt turnaround?

The Republican politicians in Washington now see themselves at war with the "Democrat" Party and there are no rules.

They are a threat to all of America.

Being There ?

In the movie, "Being There", starring Peter Sellers. he was about to be mugged on the street and he pulled out his remote control for his television to see if he could change the channel.

Donald Trump, in the courtroom, reminds me of Chauncey Gardner in that scene. He would like to change the channel but his remote does not seem to work? It must be a bad dream. It cannot be part of his reality?

It's a bad trip for the guy that creates his own reality. It's always worked for him before, but for some reason, he seems to have lost his mojo...

The Irony in Numbers - April 15th Tax Day - Donald Trump in Court

The irony being that April 15th being only one day out of the 365 days in a year and the day that people are required to pay their taxes.

And the irony being that the biggest tax cheat in American history is to appear in court on April 15th.

All of his delay tactics in this case failed and he is being called to stand in front of a jury of his peers in a criminal trial.

His new strategy is to put the Justice system on trial. He did nothing. He is persecuted. By everyone. By local authorities. By State authorities. By Federal authorities. By Joe Biden and his Justice Dept.

The facts and the law do not matter. The only thing that matters is whether or not Donald Trump is able to persuade his cult and his followers whether or not he is being railroaded by the system.

In the end, he will only need to persuade one juror to disregard the facts and look at him as the "victim". Unfortunately, under our justice system, that is the best that we can do.

A Call To Action

Is that what it takes?

Because if women lose their rights, do not think that they will be the only ones that lose their rights.

If you have never given thought to politics, this is the time to do so. All women should unite in the common goal that we are all equal. And men should join them in unanimity. It is important that everyone vote for their own democracy this November.

These international fascist criminals must be defeated.

Trump argues that he should be on campaign trail, rather than in a courtroom defending himself...

He is in a state of panic unlike any we have seen in a long time.

The truth is that he should not be on a campaign trail at all. He should have been disqualified from running for any office after his part in the insurrection of January 6th.

Also, he should have been in a courtroom long before now. He has used the system to fight any accountability, by delaying every legal process.

He is supposed to go to trial as soon as a jury is selected this Monday. He has never been this close to being held accountable for anything in his life.

As usual, he is twisting reality and the facts to suit his needs. Unfortunately for him, up to this point, it is not working.

The law may have the last word after all.

Do you feel any difference in the universal vibe since the eclipse?

Do you feel more positive? Do you feel anything has changed?

Do you believe in gravity?

Perfectly balanced between the Earth and the Sun, the Moon must have had some effect on the gravitational fields, one might think?

Since a large percentage of the human body is water, could the Moon's gravity have some effect on the human brain?

Perhaps it is all just an illusion?

Whatever it was, it was amazing!

Gov. Greg Abbott (TX) brags that it is Texas that is spurring the national economy...

Not anything that Joe Biden has done.

He was bragging that the unemployment level had dropped dramatically, even as "illegal immigration" had dwindled to almost nothing. Texas was leading the nation in job creation, according to Abbott.

Hmmmm... something didn't sound right about that??

All the immigrants were going across the borders of the other states, but not Texas? Then suddenly, all these jobs are created in Texas?

I think there may have been something Governor Abbott was not telling us?
