America's Darkest Hour: Trump Pandemic

On Friday the 2nd of October 2020, Donald Trump who happens to be the current President of The United States during its darkest hour and I say darkest hour not because of pandemic but because of Trump handling or actually mishandling the pandemic was admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center infected with the same pandemic of which for months he joked about, laughed at, exposed others to and downplayed- what a tragedy. His wife Melania suffered the same but the news and selfish, obnoxious Trump are not updating her pandemic and sorrow condition.

Trump who for months on purpose -as he told Bob Woodward on tape-downplayed the worst "event" that hit home in generations, the worst pandemic in decades, who kept telling Americans "not to worry", not to wear masks, not to stop socializing, do not test for disease.

On Sunday the 4th of October 2020, while still infected and contagious and still being treated at Walter Reed, demagogue Trump exposing everybody including the Secret Service decided to take a "drive" to "greet" his "twisted ' supporters waiting outside the hospital- no regard to human life or human dignity whatsoever, nothing less can describe such gross, selfish, theatrical, pretentious behaviour.

On Monday the 5th of October 2020, Donald Trump Still Pandemic Infected, Infectious and Contagious leaves Walter Reed Hospital, addresses mostly "his base" and Dismayed America telling them not to be Afraid and now he "gets it", talking about the pandemic.

Basically, Trump telling Americans-while getting the best around the clock medical treatment while still sick- so what to get infected regardless if you die or not, regardless if you have medical treatment or not, just go about with your lives as if no pandemic which killed over 210,000 Americans and infected millions exists or ever existed- so dangerous behaviour and the worst part there are still "humans" supposedly with some brains believe Trump, follow Dr. Evil medical advices to the T including but not limited to his "advice" to drink bleach to fight pandemic. During his terrible debate performance with Joe Biden, his Democratic challenger for President, Trump said he was talking sarcastically about the bleach thing; Trump was not and people followed his stupidity, drank bleach and died.

Based on facts and events and only facts and events on how Trump deliberately ignored Science, ridiculed Medicine, malicelely disrgarded comptenent medcial advices, obnoxiously downplayed the grave danger of the pandemic, consistently kept telling Americans Masks are not important or no need to wear masks-unless you choose to- or it's up to individuals to wear masks- this pandemic should be called Trump pandemic, anytime Americans recall those dark days, darkest hour, a pandemic that killed over 210,000 Americans as of writing these lines, should align it with the Trump presidency.

Trump continues to tweet Fake news comparing pandemic to Flu; in short Trump continues to be Trump- no surprise there, we have established this fact over years and generations. But again the problem is Trump is the president now, his style proved to be no longer just entertaining, not funny, but deadly and here is the rub, what more harm can Trump do to convince a majority of Americans not to grant him a second term.

Almost every aspect of his presidency in particular pandemic handling has been disastrous to say the least, so why re-elect a disaster.

Again and again, demagogue, populist leaders thrive when knowing their supporters love it when they lie to them.

In America, regardless of pandemic, there has been a population of voters who will vote along party lines, but the majority do not; the majority of "disloyal" voters- to borrow Michael Cohen's book title to make a point here- will vote for whoever relate to their day to day lives; and based on that assumption, Trump will not be reelected. The 2016 surprise will not be repeated for the simple reason: Americans witnessing daily how he has been divisive and how he has been handling the deadly pandemic; it cannot get any worse and the time is ripe based on Trump record only for Trump to retire at his Florida estate. So last but not least the pandemic is not a China pandemic, or kung fu pandemic as Trump and cronies like to say to shift the focus but a Trump pandemic that killed and still killing over 210, 000 Americans.

A Message to Jackass: The More You Put In,The More You Get Out


Again, hoping or expecting President Trump in times of crisis or no crisis or for whatever reason, to be anything else but Trump, or to act like anyone else but Trump would be so gullible, so naive, so delusional and of course as idiotic as it can get.

 Mr. Trump Presidency has been nothing short of every American man, woman, elderly, senior, child and all of the fifty States for himself, herself or itself- except of course if the Americans and states aforementioned belong to famous "base" defined as "angry" for whatever reason Americans , who live not in New York or California but in other part of the great USA-  and he's there just as a mere entertainer, showman, a placeholder, until a "real" President comes along or at least until someone who masters the art of being President, a healer in times of crisis, a uniter not a divider, someone who could show or at least pretends or masters the art of empathy and compassionatism, comes along. But see, we just cannot give up on whoever in the Whiter House to act as President, or act as we expect a President should act: Presidential. But again, maybe we are the gullible, the American people, maybe Trump as idiotic as he sounds and acts, might be telling us things other Presidents never dare to share in public. Maybe we are the naive, the American people, who are so used to things done and said in certain ways that we create molds of what we call "normal". Anything else that does not fit that mold, is considered "unheard of"or abnormal and Trump exemplifies what we call or consider "abnormal".

 In the midst of this devastating crisis that was generated in China, but regardless of the place, for now at least, Trump waffles on the issues most of the time, his press conferences for the most part are a joke; he calls himself a wartime President but he is as so far from a wartime President as it can get; he enacts the defense production act but does not mobilize the county to act as one country not as 50 lonely and desperate states begging the federal government for help, each on their own and for themselves; a President who calls himself a wartime President but never calls on the military to take over building mobile hospitals, bring in the necessary equipment and set up tents all over the US to contain and then kill the invader disease killing humans daily.

 President Trump whenever convenient likes to compare himself to George Washington.

 During one of Mr. Trump daily disease briefings, the conversation somehow shifted, as it usually does,  to Trump, his Presidency, the "sacrifices" he has made since taking office, and how as he said "lost billions" since he was elected President three years ago, which is by any and all accounts impossible. But Trump shamelessly says things with a straight face, he exaggerates, not to say he lies, Trump loves to lie, but he might believe his lies and believe they are not lies. Then comes the George Washington Comparison, and Trump was found saying Washington conducted personal business while President however Trump is not allowed to do so; Trump goes on to say that Washington had two desks in the Oval Office next to each other, one for the Presidency and one for the personal business- need to fact-check these "nutty" stuff and see if they ever existed. But even if they did exist, the era is completely different and the comparison by itself in that regards is so retarded.

 We, the  American people, have profoundly changed since Trump took office: We worry more about America, we are more concerned about America's status on world stage, leading nations to action,  about respectability, prestige, integrity, dignity, and the list of good stuff missing from Trump goes on and on. But we must give credit when credit is due;  Because of Trump, we are most engaged in the politics of our country than we've ever been. Trump is our daily and harsh reality-check.  Trump made us grow.
As for the disease "Chinese Connection", The shadowy Chinese Communist government acted as it usually does in such and similar situations, Cowardly and criminally,  it silenced back in December of last year the Chinese doctor who warned against the devastating ruthless invader, and then died of the infectious disease; the Chinese then instead of embracing Dr. Li Wenliang, told him to keep his mouth shut and accused him of spreading rumors, and betraying party and country. 

 Nothing really has changed in America since Trump was elected in 2016 following the defeat of elitist and snobbish Hillary. President Trump by and large follows established policies or just steer things around to keep the debate going not about what is good for America but what is good for him. After 9/11, President Bush rallied the nation and lead the action to respond to terrorists attacks; in 2008, President Obama rallied the nation and got elected on a platform to save the economy and get it back on it's feet; before both Obama and Bush, President Reagan galvanized the nation around one purpose: Bring respect and strength back to America after Watergate, Vietnam,  and Jimmy Carter mishandling the hostages situation hijacked by dubious Shiite Mullas took over power in Iran after the Shah was overthrown with an American Nod and complete approval.

 On world stage, President Trump in actuality has been following established US policies almost everywhere with a "Trumpist" twist, style and demagoguery. Trump style and techniques have been the same when confronting crisis: House of Saud killing Khashoggi, Israeli-Palestinian war and peace, China, Iran, North Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan and dealing with Taliban, Mexico Wall, illegal immigrants, Health and Obamacare, confirmation of Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, asking Ukraine to dig up dirt on Biden and Son. Same style of ups and downs, back and forth, dancing to the tunes of the news, entertaining a base hungry and thirsty for "revenge", from something or things, and preserving a delusional "lost status".

A Message to Jackass: Identify Texas and Ohio Murderers as Domestic Terrorists

(Undated photo shows President Donald Trump).(Kyodo via AP Images)
Are we still under an illusion; do we still believe President Trump can change or willing to change and if so, change to what; are we or some of us still so naive, that we continue to ask the same rhetorical questions over and over again hoping for different answers or answers more tuned in to what we used to see in other Presidents; Presidents who probably, if not all, at least some or most, harbored privately same "vicious" feelings and sentiments Trump publicly blurs out.

Trump attacks all except for "the base": A population in the US consisted in 2016 of angry people from across ethnic groups but mostly from disgruntled, angry, working class and even some elite whites panicking that America changing so fast that the "white privilege" disappeared or disappearing. 

They are, the disgruntled whites, correct though, America will be a no ethnic majority country and no one can do anything to stop it including Trump idiotic anti-immigrants, anti-illegal immigrants, half way measures like a fake Mexico Wall, he promised deluded base to build to protect their nests and have Mexico pays for it which never happened nor will it ever happen; Trump ended up having the Pentagon obliged to pay for sections of the "promised" wall to make a point for thirsty base. 

So in actuality, no other reason for base to panic except for racism, wrong stereotypical upbringings, privileges in actuality and historically provided based on skin color or shade and meant to  automatically grant people special status, a front row seat, an A-list, or a bathroom seat.

But again the "coalition" that elected Trump in 2016 to the White House consisted of other than just "angry" whites; it consisted of all other "angry" Americans otherwise Trump would have never been able to get elected.

Americans were in an angry mode,for some reason, again,  angry about traffic, high bills, anything, while the economy has been doing well. Trump Americans were rejecting a Supreme Court that could have become too liberal; angry that Hillary Clinton who many including hard core Democrats did not want to see her husband better known as "Slick Willie" back in the White House ever again regardless of Bill Clinton surged popularity. 

So in reality anger was the motivation for change; rejecting elitism that Hillary exemplifies, rejecting having a third term, Hillary, for a black President that we elected twice.

 Trump demagoguery against everything that was "non-white" rallied even non-white people; blacks, Asians, Hispanics, and others who historically either believe whites should have privileges or thought like Mike Tyson (we gave Obama a chance, why not giving Trump the same chance). Trump however was so vicious in his rhetoric, words, attacks, style that even some ardent Republicans could not tolerate or could no longer accept and tolerate. Mitt Romney and John McCain represent the best of those Republicans. But again Trump attacked and attack Republicans who oppose him or shed light on his politically motivated stupidity. 

Again, the role of an angry vehicle fits Trump; he loves to entertain, he will gladly tolerate to be called all the names in the book including a documented jackass for the role of President which millions believe is the ultimate privilege in the US or the ultimate American success story. Trump was raised to focus on that one goal; the ultimate goal, to be President; for Trump it does not matter at all what means to use or if you look or sound like a jackass, you still have a base that will fly you to the "moon", in this case to the White House. so before the angry base disappears go ahead and run and become President and let the chips fall where they may.

 Again, there was no better timing for Trump to become president  other than that 2016 time with "unpopular" Hillary running after President Obama concluded his second term.

 However, the hate Trump incites, promotes, as demagoguery as it is, since took office, against American media, against American institutions like the FBI, CIA, Federal Reserve, Congress, American female lawmakers telling them to leave America, blacks, Latinos, whites who oppose him, his "Russia elections collusion", refusing to stand up against white nationalists killing American people, killing fellow Americans, out of hate, and arguably as a direct response to Trump's rhetoric like what we have seen few days ago in Texas, Ohio, California, is making Americans realize that his rhetoric is hitting home, his style destroying schools and families, killing children, families, women, elderly, whites, blacks, Latinos, Asians, Jewish, Muslims, Christians; basically hitting and touching and hurting every American across the US.

The price is too high even for a base that likes Trump.

Trump rhetoric is making Americans scared to go out, to movies, to parks, to festivals, to malls; basically affecting every American everyday life.  Americans realizing Trump making vicious fanatics ready to act, creating criminals or helping ready minded criminals eager to act and attack; attack and kill their children, the base children, and others; no one anymore safe or immune with Trump in the White House. 

Americans now across the board including some "Base" ranting about everything that is "non-white" under the sun no longer finds Trump the "entertainer"; the "apprentice"" but a person if reelected, things will only get worse; Americans  angry at Trump and Ohio and Texas massacres committed by allegedly Trump supporters, extremist white nationalists, could be the huge turning point for an entertainer who thinks he makes "base" happy and energized no matter what he says and that base will reelect him back to the White House no matter what because there is no other choice or alternative for them but to have Trump as the last "white hope". Trump act finally caught up with him and base now is as scared as the rest of America.

 So can an intentionally acting jackass change act now: The answer is too late in the game besides it is not something Trump finds entertaining or wants to do; Trump cannot be other than Trump; he cannot be serious, dignified, discuss serious things, talk compassionately; Trump cannot project himself as a father figure or someone with high moral standards; it is simply not Trump. 

Trump,  however,  will continue to go back and forth up and down but will never be anything else but Trump that a "base" of American voters, no longer exactly exists, in 2016, elected him as President of  United States succeeding the first black American President.

But Trump is and has been a much needed wake-up call for America and Americans  however 4 years of a Trump wake up call is and has been more than sufficient to get the message through.

Romancing Iran---Original Post 01/15/2013

During Shah Muhammad Reza Pahlavi, Iran wanted to be a regional power in the Middle East, but it could not, it continued to be an oil producing power, nothing more.

After the 1979 Clerics and Ayatollahs revolution, Iran wanted to be a regional Middle Eastern power through spreading propaganda fears of “exporting” the revolution to the scared neighboring countries, especially to the Arab Gulf monarchies but also it could not.

The Arabs have been too proud, too weary, too suspicious, too historically distrusting Iran and vice versa, that they accepted the tyranny of their Arab brethren than to give their Islamic Iranian “Brethren” the joy of dominance over them.

So where does that leave Iran, what does Iran want besides blackmailing the world community into a dialogue through calculated threats of becoming a nuclear power and its hypocritical and demagoguery and empty and pity threats to Israel every now and then. And to add insult to injury, Iran mastered in between 1979 and now, a unique diplomacy, the Hostage Diplomacy, by picking up and kidnapping foreigners like any outlaw and jail them with no proof or due process and accuse them of what else but the famous “spying”.

They got motivated by America’s humiliation during the hostage crisis of 1979 and the failure of Jimmy Carter to free America’s diplomats. Or maybe it was the curse of the poor exiled ailing and dying Shah that Carter and America decided that he was too of a burden or it did not trust his son Ali to govern.

America knew that the Shah was dying of cancer few months before the end of the “Shahenshah”. The Shah actually through his dictatorship, personal, unrealistic and obnoxious lavish spending and lifestyle contributed the biggest chunk for the fall of Iran in the hands of the Mullahs.

Actually besides the other factors, I think the Shah was an obstacle to the very much needed Shiite power in the Middle East, that was to do the job of supporting tiny Shiite groups like Hezbollah in Lebanon, and later on in Iraq and supporting forces that were created in the Middle East like Hamas in Gaza and Jihad and the rest of these “Media Terrorists” to balance and even substitute for the failing and corrupt Arab liberals and their flipside, the military generals. And to create a momentum for a calculated, again, democratic rise that is now paving the way to political popular organizations dressed with the flag of Islam to rule and create not a regime drive towards peace with the State of Israel, but a popular drive by the same entities that keep publicly attacking Israel but somehow will ensure on the popular level that the peace with Israel, which should be the case anyway, is something that appeals to the masses in the Arab and Islamic countries in the Middle East and beyond. Because if this drive to peace comes from seemingly conservative religious political parties, then it would definitely have the pragmatic appeal it needs and the credibility to pass.

Arab tyrants and regimes have lost all credibility and crumbled or one by one start to crumble. They lacked popular support, so no other alternative but the use of Islam, rather than Arab nationalism and traditional Arab politics.

The continuation of Iran’s Hostage Diplomacy- the other side of it- on the surface appears to be threatening the world, the US, and Israel with nuclear power but in reality Iran wants dialogues and recognition and here we reach the hard part, to some.

Iran wants some sort of recognition of a status like Turkey as the main Islamic powers. Iran wants talks and wants pampering and wants most importantly to avoid popular revolution that if it takes place, it could very well send the clerics to the same finale and destiney of Shah Pahlavi and maybe worse. The Iranian people have had it but waiting for the ignition to start and for leaders to arise.

The results of the questionable 2009 presidential elections in Iran caused massive popular uproar that Tehran did not witness since the religious scholars seized power from the Shah in 1979. The Iranians are fed up with the status quo, fed up with the privileges and status scholars have in comparison with the rest of the country and fed up with a deteriorating economic situation that should not be the case in a leading oil producing country like Iran- the Iranians stand in line to fill their car with Gas.

The Iranians are also fed up with the adventurous and seemingly confrontational style of their president Ahmadinejad. The Iranian wants freedom, they long to the day when their country get rid of Supreme Ayatollahs, the new Shahenshahs, and their cronies and be just a regular country with a president and a parliament.

Iran longs for the time when they can say and talk and just breathe freedom and for women to thrive with and without head cover; it’s up to them and not to the clerics. The governing religious body in Iran has substituted the repressive Shah regime with another repressive regime, different names, but same methods.

The defunct regime of Shah Muhammad Reza Pahlavi had the “Savak” as its oppressive Paramilitary army to control the lives of the people and the Mullahs now have the “Basij” to continue the job. The Iranians do not go as of now as far as asking for a regime change completely, they are asking for more freedom and more democracy. But I think they want more and will not settle for middle ground. The Iranians historically have moved from one extreme to the other- Maybe now they have learned to get things done on stages.

The future of Iran might turn to be as of its neighboring Turkey, with a liberal democratically elected Islamic party and with the religious scholars going back to their natural place, where they belong, modestly speaking, which is the place of education and universities and Mosques.

Rage, Rage Kavanaugh: Everybody Rides Kavanaugh

                                                                   
Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh speaks at the Senate Judiciary Committee, Thursday, Sept. 27, 2018 on Capitol Hill in Washington. (Michael Reynolds/Pool Image via AP)

Rule of law, due process and fairness require the accuser in a court of law to show proof of misconduct; same rules put the burden of proof on the accuser not the accused if the state on behalf of the accuser moves to file a lawsuit before a court of law.

 In Kavanaugh's case, Trump's Supreme Court Nominee, the evidence of sexual misconduct or a pattern of sexual misconduct brought up in public by few accusers and witnesses and primarily by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford- now looks like not completely conclusive while at the same time strong enough to cast numerous doubts on the judge judicial temperament, heavy drinking he bragged about during the September 27, 2018 hearing  and possible blackouts happened to him as the result of heavy drinking and partying which possibly confirm the accusers accusations and at the same make them almost impossible to confirm especially after over 36 years and no solid recollection of the events.

 The FBI report into Kavanaugh's alleged sexual misconduct released today, Thursday October 4, 2018- the Senate has a copy and the White House has a copy- the report cannot be shared publicly and for understandable reasons as people who testified and interviewed by the FBI need their confidentiality and privacy to be protected- so far again it looks like there is no conclusive conclusion to damn or "convict" Kavanaugh; Chuck Grassley, Republican Senate Judiciary Committee Chief-  according to the Associated Press said  ' No hint of misconduct in FBI report on Kavanaugh's sexual misconduct'

 However the rage and anger Kavanaugh's showed at everything Democratic and the partisan outburst he displayed against the Democrats and the Clintons while defending his record and life could make it easier to doubter senators especially female Republican senators and red state Democratic senators to say no; don't confirm Kavanaugh.   

 Regardless whether Kavanaugh was fed the rage he obviously and highly emotionally showed on September 27th, 2018 and was pushed to act the way he acted- by Trump and his lawyers; Trump and his Fox News supporters felt Kavanaugh in the night before the senate testimony Fox interview acted like a choir boy- or he did it out of deep anger and resentment towards a process he portrays as so unfair to him and untrue or because of his bias against everything not Republican and at everyone who's Democratic- the display is so troublesome that seriously would or should again make undecided women Republican senators and male red state Democratic senators in the Senate think few times before voting him into the Supreme Court. 

 Another troublesome behaviour Kavanaugh displayed is the mental belief that he has the undisputed right to be on the Supreme Court and that he earned the credentials; he said he served George W. Bush and that he served the US Government at highest levels and that he earned multiple FBI clearances and that he 'worked his tale off' at Yale and that he was the top of his class in addition to saying he did not have sex for 'years and years'- as if not having sex is by itself a proof of innocence from the alleged sexual misconduct; actually on the contrary such claim could show opporessed desires- and he never had blackouts at parties in which  almost all related persons including him confirmed he was fond and active planner and participant: Basically Kavanaugh believes he is so clean, so polished, so educated, so "perfect" and fits a "picture" or an image,  that no way he should be denied what he worked for all his life-to be a United States Supreme Court Associate Justice.

 But again the process is so political and politicized and really it has been like this for the longest time.  The bottom line: Everyone rides now Kavanaugh to achieve something; Trump and his supporters have Kavanaugh as a dark horse or trojan horse to rally the base to win the midterm elections or at least keep the senate Republican as it looks like the House is already lost; Democrats need now as well a big victory and nothing would cement such victory in the upcoming midterm elections more than keeping Kavanagh out of the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh himself needs to ride Kavanaugh to get his dream job fulfilled.

 The senate will vote Friday and Saturday October 5th and 6th, 2018 to either confirm or reject Kavanaugh.
