I went expat after Trump took power in 2016. I haven't given up the fight for our values, for the future of multicultural democracy. This opens a new front to gain skills for when the MAGA moment passes and it's time to head home to rebuild. Check my story:

Susan Collins’ Moment of Truth…that wasn’t
How she violated her term limit pledge raises a troubling question. Is Donald Trump more honest about who and what he is than Susan…

Trump's team is so sloppy! There's a misspelling in the new initiative. Fixed it!

The first steam-powered passenger rail trip was on 27th Sept 1825 (200th bday is nuanced - regular passenger steam slightly later). Here's transport carbon footprint today - Eurostar easily cleanest cos fully electrified. I hope the next 200 yrs has even more (electric) trains! With lower prices...

"Best friends forever"?

Trump doesn't have friends. His relationships are strictly transactional. So the obvious question is - what were the nature of the transactions he so cherished Epstein for? What was it that the sex trafficer traded in that Trump made such an investment to receive?

Trump and Epstein were friends? He served a purpose for Trump. What purpose?

"Anybody that tells you they’re friends with Donald Trump is misjudging the relationship. He has no friends. You might interact with him, but he’s so transactional that you’re actually not his friend." - Anthony Scaramucci

Don't worry! Next time, there will be no warnings. Oh, and since that might make people upset, there will be no reporting about it either.

Please note that Trump will NOT be seeking his usual retribution for this "disloyalty." The one free "no" vote was gifted to Collins to support her reelection bid next year. She is indebted now for that and eager to please.

Watch for is the lack of threats of retribution from Trump. They gifted this to Collins to help her reelection bid next year. She is eternally grateful and eager to repay her debt.

"Usha Vance represents a new era of political spouses—intelligent, relatable, and unafraid to embrace both tradition and modernity."

Guess they never heard of Eleanor Roosevelt.

Are they suggesting that Melanoma is neither intelligent nor relatable?

I have no doubt about the possibilities for healthy interfaith relationships.

The question is - what is the guidestar for people who make changes in what for most are unwaivering, fundamental and foundational convictions?

Then, this interfaith couple in Washington DC. Usha Vance, "onetime Democrat and the daughter of immigrants," is now "living a radically different life." She's a Hindu who, among other things, supported her spouse's conversion to Catholicism. Where will their changing convictions take them - and us?

Two different portraits of diversity in the USA. First, Rama Duwaji, the lesser-known spouse of Zohran Mamdani. This newlywed Muslim couple is now the toast of NYC. They are the embodiment of progressive sensibilities in the emerging generation determined to live their values.

When this is all over and done with, this character is sure to seek clemency in the truth and reconciliation commission to restore our national integrity.

But there is no way to redeem him.
