Since my last entry seems to have depressed some readers, I thought tonight I might attempt some levity. I have therefore thumbed through the various offerings from both sides, the limping Liberal Dems, and the triumphant Trumpian right, and found a couple of interesting trends. Almost without exception to my survey, such as it is, […]
It’s the election “they” say no one wants, the media insist every-day no one is wanting a rerun of Biden and Trump, no one wants 2020 again, but yet the people still vote for them – Trump and Biden in each of the Primaries, one after the next after the next, impervious to the entreaties […]
The Missouri Republican Caucus has just been held. Phew! The candidate makes it by the slimmest of margins. How long before we hear that “Democracy is clearly under threat from deluded people voting wrongly”. No seriously the problem for the Democrats starts in earnest tomorrow with “Super Tuesday”, where voters from Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, […]
A carnival float depicting Donald Trump with a USA flag cut in the shape of a Nazi swastika in a backstreet for the start of the traditional carnival parade in Duesseldorf, Germany, on Monday, Feb. 12, 2024. The foolish street spectacles in the carnival centers of Duesseldorf, Mainz and Cologne, watched by hundreds of thousands […]
For Biden, this Primary season is turning into a disaster. The voters are not just simply unimpressed by the left dragging “their” candidate through the courts using the legal process to disqualify Trump rather than beating him in an open challenge, and flocked to his banners. And they were not more impressed by the offers […]
Picture Al Jazera The usual suspects have berated the administrations of America and Britain as well as anyone supporting the action in hitting back at the Houthis or anyone questioning the action of trying to stop attacks on shipping using the Red Sea accessing the Suez Canal. We should not forget that the Panama Canal […]
Hogarth “Chairing the Member” 1818 Auld Mac’s Almanack, or what the calendar for 2024 holds. And boy is 2024 going to be a one huge year for those of us who enjoy following elections and trying to for-guess the result. Truly we are in for a combo of the World Cup and the Olympics as […]
There is much consternation in certain quarters at the forthcoming threat of full disclosure by Judge Loretta Preska unsealing the court documents which form part of the 2015 civil defamation suite by Virginia Roberts, relating to all Jeffery Epstein’s connections in January. But no matter how keen we are to know we shall have to […]
America’s Oligarchy Stitching Us Up Yes, indeed and as captions go, portentous moi? But at least I have caught your attention! After an extended spell away from my crayons and the keyboard I have been surprised by the number of people from all sorts of places (and some even I didn’t even know), who have […]
Old Mac’s Almanack Nothing immediately obvious. Which is not to say nothing terribly important. Because this is THE year that will set the course for the next decade if not longer. Ukraine / Russia. If Russia loses militarily then Putin goes swiftly. If Putin is deposed uncontrollably and goes suddenly, a collapse (swift or slow-mo) […]
