American Politics

The Joe Biden Song Book

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, […]

The Lone Gunman In American Politics – A Return?

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 […]

Missouri Republican Caucus | The Oligarch Kings

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, […]

Broken Arrow | The Oligarch Kings

Biden mixes up Gaza and Ukraine in aid advertisment. Twice They call him “Broken Arrow”. He doesn’t work anymore, and you cannot fire him.  This is the dilemma that the left wing and the left/liberal press in America have finally woken up to.  Biden is a dead loss. CNN, Fox (well natch) AP News yes, […]

Cologne’s Lenten Carnival Of Politicians 2024

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 […]

Is It Too Late For Biden To Bail?

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 […]

Jean A De Longues Moustache

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 […]

Elections 2024 | The Oligarch Kings

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 […]

Return Of The Kings | The Oligarch Kings

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 […]

How Irish Is Biden? | The Oligarch Kings

I may be Irish but I’m not stupid.” Umm not my idea of how to endear oneself to an Irish supporting fund raiser on St Patrick’s Day but probably mild stuff for Joe. Biden has long claimed that he is Irish in descent.  A claim which might be almost guaranteed to drum up votes by […]
