I have delayed writing this particular blog for almost a week. Why? I am writing with a broken heart.
Of course I am writing about the Fiasco on Pennsylvania Avenue.
The president and the vice-president of the United States shocked the entire world. They dropped their pants and mooned everyone.
Their invited guest, the elected President of Ukraine, was attacked, belittled, chastised, and bullied. This was part of a plan to give Trump a closer relationship with Russia. It aimed to line his own pockets with Ukrainian minerals.
Trump’s plan was to reflect strength. He wanted to present power and to show off his negotiation skills. His goal was to prove to the world that he and he alone held the keys to a peaceful Universe.
Trump had tried to bully Denmark and Greenland. They laughed in his face.
Trump had tried to bully Canada. Canada continues to laugh in his face.
Trump had tried to bully Mexico. Mexico laughed in his face.
Trump had tried to bully Panama. Panama laughed in his face.
He realized he was running out of countries to bully. So, he went after a desperate people in the throes of a 3-year invasion. What happened? The entire free world laughed in his face. Russia celebrated the dismemberment of the United States as a world power. Americans, true Americans were left heart broken.
For 45 minutes the Oval Office became a squared circle. An event transpired that need the voice of Michael Buffer and the marketing prowess of Vince McMahon. Trump and Vance took turns degrading President Zelinski. Like a practiced tag team. They took turns insulting and degrading President Zelinski. It was a relentless attack. Yet nothing actually hit. Nothing hurt. President Zelinski took blow after blow. He countered snark with facts, he ducked lies and responded with facts. The more they missed, the madder and madder Trump and Vance attacked.
At the end of the day, Trump and Vance were bloodied. The American place as a work leader damaged. Ukraine and their President were stronger. The EU instantly rallied to Ukraine’s aide, providing them the protections the United States had sworn to provide.
The only winner from this unwarranted scuffle on the Trump / Vance side of the ring was their boss. No not Elon Musk. Russian Evil Doer Valdy Putin.
Russian news and the those in the Kremlin were celebrating. They knew what they witnessed was the end of a united United States. a weakened United States is no longer a foe. They know that having Trump as a friend gives them the presents they need to take Ukraine. They can take parts of other EU countries. They can also do whatever they want.
China, without even having a dog in this fight walked away as winners. They know now that anytime they want it, Taiwan is theirs for the taking.
When the United States aligns more closely with the Axis of Evil, the black hat fits better than the white. In this scenario, the American people are the biggest losers.
We can look at the Musk transitionary dismantling of the United States with fear and anger. Yet it breaks hearts to see the United States dismantled as the beacon of freedom. Its decline as a symbol of democracy is truly heartbreaking.

Trump’s First Day: A Groundbreaking Administration or a Failed Promise?
On Monday, January 20th, 2025, Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States. The event takes place inside the warmth of the Capital Rotunda.
If Trump does what he says he is going to do, his first day in office will be groundbreaking. The day promises to be the most successful first day of any President’s Administration.
By 11:59 PM, January 20, 2025, Trump claims a massive deportation program will be instituted. People will start heading back “home.”
“On Day One, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out,” Trump said at his Madison Square Garden rally on Oct. 28
Mind you, if he were to do this, it would be impossible to do in one day. Even if done over time, prices would spike. Supplies of foods, other goods, and services would diminish. The U.S. Economy, now the strongest in the world, would collapse.
“On Day One of the Trump administration, I will terminate Kamala’s insane electric vehicle mandate, and we will end the new green scam once and for all. The green new scam will end,” Trump said at a rally in October.
With Elon Musk telling Trump what do to, this will not happen. Musk will not allow Trump to crash his financial wealth and security. Plus, there are already hundreds of permits held for oil and natural resources. These permits are not being used; it helps keep costs up, supply in check. Trump could open the entire US for drilling. Wouldn’t matter. No one is going to be drilling unless it is to sell found resources on the open, international market. The benefit to the US consumer? None.
Trump said at a rally in September, “The moment we win, we will rapidly review the cases of every political prisoner unjustly victimized by the Harris regime. And I will sign their pardons on Day One.”
More than 1,500 people have been charged with federal crimes stemming from the attack on the Capitol. For the party of law and order”, allowing 1,500 convicts free does not seem to be a very just decision. Just because a Convict is President, does not mean every other convict should be walking the streets.
Trump said he would end the War in Ukraine, AKA the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. Trump has no power or authority to end the invasion. He would just hand everything Russia wanted to his friend Putin. That is not happening because the rest of the world would not allow it.
He is already starting to reverse the promises he made to his voters. Eggs will not be free. Groceries will not be cheaper. Gas prices are up based on the market knowing he is taking over. His own history shows he won’t close boarders. Mexico will fund nothing.
Besides, how could he get all those goals accomplished? He is going to be busy waging war against Panama, Greenland, Canada, American Democracy, the Middle and Lower classes and the US Constitution?
The people voted a clown to office. Now we get to welcome the entire circus.
