I have been enjoying my gardens today. However, saw my first Japanese beetle of the summer today.

Then a sad birthday boy whose military parade party was overshadowed by weather, "NO KINGS' protests, and an Evangelical assassinating MN Democrats, so he started another war in the middle east.

Trump is a small scared man in a big world.
He needs to build walls, tear down others, destroy what works, halt progress, promote stupid clichés & marketing slogans.

We have given him the powers of a king, and now he is trying to control what he cannot understand.

Great Leap Backwards.

What is Trump's Tariff Grift?

Will countries now buy trump crypto coins, in order to reduce their tariffs?

Without inspectors general, independent DOJ, competent National Security advisors, or congress,
Will anyone know?

Tariffs are Taxes, on US.

The constitution says: “The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes.”

But instead our tariff-tax policy is set by the whims of a "President", who is a dictator in all but name.

We have passed from a Constitutional Democracy into Dictatorship.

Does Trump know the difference between a Trade Deficit and the National Deficit?

Ice break-up is starting.

It has been a good winter of skating. And with so little snow, it has been an especially good winter of pond & lake skating.

Never forget this: The nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.
