Trumpism – Here We Are
From CNN Website – Fulton County Sheriff’s Office The Speakership mess, now going on day 20is the perfect example of the Republican Partyturning into the Trump Party. Total paralysis. The White House, under Trump, was a circus for four years. Republican Party ideals were trampled on. Deficits exploded, even before Covid. Remember the one trillion…

What Next?
Sourced from Thesaurus.com Two big uncertainties loom this week. What will happen in Israel and will a Speaker be put in place? Pessimism surrounds both. Israel has warned over a million people to evacuate the Northern part of Gaza,, given an anticipated ground/sea/air attack. This is logistically impossible. Where will they go? Will the Egyption…

No Longer Funny
A couple of weeks back, I made a couple of mocking (bird) chirps about the soap opera in congress surrounding Kevin McCarthy’s fight to retain his Speakership. Kevin eventually lost it and Congress shut down. Well, Congress has been shut down for ten days now and it is no longer funny. Two potential replacements came…

Putin Responds
Attribution to Kremlin.ru While most of the world is reacting in horror to the slaughter of around 1,000 civilians in Israel and the anticipated Israeli revenge in Gaza, resulting in more slaughter, Congress is fiddling around.

Treason? – Israel
This chirp was going to cover Trump, so the first bit will be on that and then on the shocking attack on Israel this morning. Trump shared nuclear secrets with a crony billionaire from Australia who then shared it with at least 45 people. Trump shared secrets that were for people on a need-to-know basis.…

It took 15 rounds of votes for Kevin to become House Speaker. This is a job hje long desired. In the first days, following January 6, Kevin put the blame on the insurrection on Trump. Then he saw that the Trumpkins still supported Trump. Kevin wanted the Speakership so bad that he went to Mar-a-Lago…

Porn Back To Soap
Attribution to Alan Light This is Katherine Helmond. She was best known (for me anyway) as Jessica Tate in the late 1970’s tv show ‘Soap’. It was ‘must see’ comedy tv back then. Most of my chirps are political in nature. But for the last few days, the Republican congress have made a mockery of…

Sick Stupidity
Attribution to Kent Nishimura – Los Angelas Times via Getty Images A short chirplet today. Over the years a number of people including school kids have been massacred, bodies torn apart, by shooters using assault rifles. Republican Congressmen and women have taken to wearing assault rifle pins, just like Santos, here. Republican Andrew Coyle from…

Then Again, Not
Attribution to Tyler Merbler from USA There are so many things going on in the world, but like a moth drawn to flame, I can’t help but be drawn to the lunacy happening in Washington, this week. Today, after 11 failed attempts, the House will begin its fourth day of trying to elect a House…

Terrorists Have Won
Back during the Iraq war, version two, when Liz’s dad was Vice President, he used a phrase that stuck with me, “The Terrorists will have won”. In one aspect, the terrorists are winning right now. What terrorists. Bear with me on this one After Obama won, in 2008, the Tea Party movement began. This was…
