Move Over, Communism, Terrorism, Wokeism, Hitler. Now It’s Political!
If Donald Trump will walk away from the White House one day with nothing else to show for his half-assed efforts but a ridiculous East Wing ballroom, a trade war no opponent will have strictly adhered to, his face on Mt. Rushmore or, God forbid, a potential third term, he can at least take pride, … Continue reading Move Over, Communism, Terrorism, Wokeism, Hitler. Now It’s Political!

A Summary of the Trump Administration after However Many Days It’s Been in Office (May 31, 2025)
And, though I hate to say it, Donald Trump isn’t a complicated man. I could argue no president in history has so publicly displayed his emotional triggers to an audience of supporters and reporters, so posted temper tantrums on social media to the point of making a ten-year-old question the concept of adulthood and so admittedly based policy decisions on nothing more than “gut feelings” more than he has. The man really is an open book. Even his political MO follows a pattern. Which you can actually read about by opening a book.

End of the year/beginning of the year summary here. Overall, nothing’s really changing in the world since the last. Developed societies progress as their largest industries secure more commodities, obtain more investor capital, use more taxpayer money to fund that society’s pharmaceutical, military, technological, travel or agricultural advancements, and history gets left in the dust, … Continue reading Steam Whistle News Feed – January 3, 2025

The Single-Blindedness of Political Reporting
When reporting something in the news, there exists, to the journalist doing the reporting, both the benefit of hindsight and the ability, based on their research, to surmise where and to what end the topic may lead. Journalistic research not only yields context to both an audience and author, but a greater understanding of a … Continue reading The Single-Blindedness of Political Reporting

The Exciting Presidential Debate Skirmish of 2024
“Big thing tonight,” I said to my brother. “You watching it?” “You mean the game?” “There’s no game tonight,” my niece says from the couch. “It’s Tuesday.” “Games start on Thursday,” my sister-in-law said from the kitchen. “You lazy, uneducated Americans and your obsession with sports.” “Hey, sports builds character in kids,” my brother said. … Continue reading The Exciting Presidential Debate Skirmish of 2024

Politico released an analysis this week, after reviewing the cross-tabulation data of almost a dozen polls aiming to find out what key voters are now saying about Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, and the results, they indicated, were “eye-popping.” Whatever that means. Mainly, it pointed to a Kamala Harris surge in popularity. Honestly, a better … Continue reading Steam Whistle News Feed – August 23, 2024

The Socialist Biden Regime vs. Trump’s Fascist Agenda 47 (July 26, 2024)
Joe Biden released a short letter on Sunday, July 21, announcing, by dint of the disproportionate weight of the most valuable and influential members of his party, that he will not be seeking a second term as president. It came in just a single line, his decision did, yet from out of those few words … Continue reading The Socialist Biden Regime vs. Trump’s Fascist Agenda 47 (July 26, 2024)

Call me a maniac, a monomaniac, purveyor of fake news or just some uncredentialed internet a—hole, but from what I’ve seen lately, news of the war in occupied Gaza, down in a border town called Rafah, has been predominating the headlines even more than usual.
