I've really cut back on my TV viewing of talking heads, the same ones who assured us all of what could not possibly happen, yet of course did. I'm not giving anyone any money to any one right now yet I'm not really licking my wounds. I'm really just sick of it.

At this point, the vote is in, the bullshit absorbed and the credits for inferior intellects being pushed at every level will entertain us all if we choose to let them. Now is the time to wait and see who does what to whom. Will the Country actually benefit from a foam at the mouth bunch? Maybe? I doubt it. The question I will really want answered is what the ill informed group known as MAGA reacts to what Trump delivers as opposed to what they wish that they knew they wanted. For MAGA, look for more ignorant anger as the MTG bunch rage at Jewish Space Lasers.

MAGA isn't getting their old jobs back as a miracle. Technology and demand move on. Promises of deporting a bazillion migrants will stall out but it will change the job market for lower wage laborers and raise costs. Tariffs and the creation of an IRS for Tariffs collection will not work out all. Foreign countries don't pay tariffs, American consumers do. An assault on the Panama Canal and Greenland simply distract the electorate from watching the ball.

I do think it likely that the decisions in the defense dept will trigger a lot of global posturing for regional controls in SE Asia and the Baltics. I don't think I can do a damn thing about that until we're in the next election cycle of '26 and then I'll be 76 years old, wishing for some younger politicians who would address the enemy of us all- our failing planet. We collectively still don't get it. The planet will fail ALL of us It's not the elephant in the room. It's the Carbon Dioxide in the room. The rest of it: "The Sound and the Fury, signifying nothing." ( you know who.)
