IN SPITE OF ALL TRUMP’S BRAGGADOCIOS-STYLE . . . I’M STILL TEAM TRUMP:
I Don’t Like The Non-Stop Bragging.
I Don’t Like the Constant Reference of Trump Speaking About Himself in the Third Person. I Don’t Like the Stream of Insults, the Exaggerations, the Bullying from Trump . . . And His Extreme Need For Global Approbation . . . But If That Is What It Takes For Trump To Get The Most Important Parts Of The Job Done . . . So-Be-It, At Least For The Time Being.
I Don’t Like That Trump Has Surrounded Himself With Ass-Kissers . . . who Never Miss an Opportunity to “Brown-Nose” the President. But Then Again, these Same Sycophants seem to be More Qualified than Most of the Top Presidential Echelon I Can Remember, who Had Equal Positions of Power & Authority but Did a Crappy Job.
Loyalty To Country First – But What About To The Man Leading The Country?
I Clearly Remember the First Trump-Term of Secretaries & Section Heads who Came Into Trump’s Office with Sharpened Blades to Gut the New President Before Trump Could Do What Had to Be Done . . . Yet, In-Spite Of It All From 2017-2021, Trump Still Managed To Have One Of The All-Time Great Presidencies.
There Is A Hard-Core Reason Why Freedom Of Expression Is The First Amendment.
IF THE HONEST MEDIA IS SILENT – THERE IS NO FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION:
It Is Easy To Rail Against The Mainstream Media – CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS . . . They Deserve-It: But they are Not Alone in the World of Confusing Entertainment, Propaganda & News
IT IS WRONG TO BE A JOURNALISTIC IMPOSTER:
If They Stopped Pretending To Be A Neutral News Force, and Admitted their Political Bent was Far to the LEFT, Especially Coming Clean About their News Stories More or Less Being Opinion Pieces, Even Heavily Slanted Opinion Pieces . . . I Would Be OK With That. But that is Not What is Happening.
I Would Be OK With A Media Doing The Hollywood-Thing . . . as Long as they were Open About-It. But is Seems that all the News Media are Now an Active Part of the Hollywood-Entertainment-Scene, Which Is Extremely Unhealthy For The Entire Population As A Whole.
If The News Media Is Not About Holding The Feet Of Politicians To The Fire – Of What Use Are They?
Over the Years, I’ve Developed a Certain Degree of Disdain for Talking-Heads like Sean Hannity of Fox News, Enough-So, that I Don’t Waste my Time Watching him.
Not Only has his Show Become All About him Running his Mouth-Off Non-Stop, Setting his Guests-Up to be his Background-Foils More than Real Sources of Debate & Independent Information . . . He Says his Show is an Opinion Show, But Then Sells-It As An Important Contribution To News. It Isn’t.
I Have No Patience For His Non-Stop Self-Bloviating . . . But At Least He’s Honest About-It.
It’s Also All The Others . . . Far Too Many Others, who Sell-Themselves as Hard Core Journalists . . . Who Are Anything-But, while they Purposefully, Unintentionally or Stupidly Spread Disinformation that Causes Serious Damage.
The Following Are Several Perfect Ongoing Cases In Point . . .
Mark Carney is Canada’s Prime Minister, Wrought by the Media that Helped him Lie, Obfuscate & Create an Image that was a Mirage. And Now we in Canada are Stuck with Carney for Perhaps 4-Years, who Just Reinstated the Most Important Parts of Justin Trudeau’s Cabinet.
Trump Demeaned Canada For Whatever Reason Without Any Media Blowback, that Led to Bad Feelings Between Best Friends, so Bad, that Anne & I Actually Contemplated Selling our Beautiful RV to Move into a Conventional Living Space because Travel to the United States Seemed to be a Vanishing Option.
We Didn’t Believe The Media, Which Was The Right Course Of Action.
Unlike Many People (Maybe Most People), Anne and I Don’t Take Bullshit for an Answer, which Drove-Us to Follow-Through Until we Found the Real Source to Assuage our Concerns.
Unless You Are In The Thick Of It Like Anne & Myself, Willing, Capable & Able to Do the Research, and your Only Source of Reference is What you Hear, Read, or Find-Out in the Media or in any of the Insane Internet Chatrooms, you Would Not Know the Truth About Canadians being Able, Invited & Welcomed to Travel South, which is Going to Cost American Business People (Large & Small) Billions of Dollars.
Think I’m Joking? I Never Joke When It Comes To Media Mis-Information.
I Received an Email Today from the Canadian Snowbird Association, which Has a Massive Following, Promoting Travel this Year to Spain, Portugal and the Islands in the Caribbean . . . Opposed to the United States of America. How’s That For A Consequence Of Media Misinformation?
Unless The Media Is Willing To Do Its Job, and Hold Every Politician’s (Public Person) Feet to the Fire in an Honest & Measured Way . . . Not Only Is The Media Useless – It Is An Enemy To The People.
Let Me Give You Another Example . . . I Think this Half Billion Dollar Gift (Bribe) of a Brand New 747 Jet for Trump’s Presidency from Qatar is Not Only Scandalous & Beneath the President of the United States of America – But A Major Kick In The Groin To The American People.
NO ONE GIVES SOMETHING FOR NOTHING – ESPECIALLY IN THE MIDDLE EAST:
I’m No Economist. And I’m Not Any Kind Of Financial Type Person . . . But I Know Enough to Know that Whatever Goes Up-Comes Down. And the Faster it Goes Up – The Faster it Comes Down, and I Don’t Believe the Entire World is on Bended Knee for Trump to Take their Money (Trade) on His Terms.
REMEMBER THE WORDS OF JOHN DUNNE . . . “NO MAN IS AN ISLAND . . . “
Let Me Add To That . . . As No Man Is An Island . . . Neither Is A Nation.
No One Is King Of The World . . . Many Tried, And All Have Failed. As Powerful as any Nation Saw Itself – No Country Ever Controlled the Planet. Empires that Reach Beyond their Grasp Come & Go – I Pray that Trump Will Not Be One of those Leaders, and that America Will Not Like Other Nations . . . Succumb To Avarice.
No One Should Be Without Strong Criticism. Even If That Criticism Rankles The Soul.
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

You sure sound angry.
Should We All Not Be Angry At A Dishonest Or Silent News Media?-HG
Someone was angrily describing Trump the other day using plenty of expletives. I agreed with him much to his surprise. He could not explain some simple facts about Trump’s successes that make his bluster excusable – like getting world leaders to the negotiating table instead of sending their young to their deaths.
Howard, what seems like a hundred years ago, my Dad told me a story about church bells ringing and a man asking John Dunne who died? John looks at this man and says “Oh no, kind sir. The bells are not ringing for the person who died. They ring for the living since we are part of mankind. Therefore, ask not for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee. / Here’s a quote from Thoreau: “The Mass of Men Lead Lives of Quiet Desperation.”
It upsets me to see two old neighbors fight. I hope that Carney does not sit on his hands for to long thinking the EU will be his savior. I believe time will be Canada’s enemy. There are some very interesting dots being connected globally and the EU and Canada appear to be on the sidelines.
Scott – I Don’t Disagree. I Have No Idea Where Carney Wants To Take Canada, But I Am Not Hopeful Of The Direction. Carney Is A One World Government Guy. And If Carney Is Betting On Europe Opposed To America – He’s Putting Canada’s Money On The Wrong Horse – HG:
I respectfully disagree with your assessment about the use of the aircraft from Qatar. From what I’ve read, it’s simply the use of that aircraft until Boeing delivers on the order for the new Air Force one. I think anything that saves taxpayer $$, in general, is a good thing. I haven’t seen Trump beholden to anyone or any country and I don’t think that is likely to start here.
Howard, it seems to me that you’re cutting your nose…., you’re willing to give up on a (winter) place you like, give up on friends you love that you spent many winters with? Before, I thought that the war of words was only between our leaders, now I see that it’s filtering down to the ‘people’ and it saddens me to no end to see that. Doing that might bring us soon to the point of no return, a time when it will be difficult to take back word & deeds. It pains me.
I Obviously Didn’t Explain Myself to your Understanding, You Could Not be More Wrong. Anne and I were Absolutely Determined to Go Back to the South (Myrtle Beach), to the Point that Not Only did we Renew Our 5-Month Winter Reservation, we had Happily Pre-Paid for the Season of 2025/2026 – Our Worry Was What it Would Take to Make that Happen -HG:
Agree 100% except I think DJT will isolate USA. America doesn’t have everything & countries will find other sources. Bet the jet will be loaded with spyware. Maybe to silence the Qatar, Carney, Trump, Brookfield, Kushner deal. Carney is an avid WEF globalist and his wife likewise, Climate Change green deal. Carney cabinet says it all, four years much worse than Trudeau accomplished. Not a very bright future looking ahead. I won’t cross the bridge, Trump has to learn not to dump on Canada.
Just read a headline on breitbart of US engineers discovering rogue communication devices in China solar panels. I have repeatedly told my wife and others, I,m waiting for China to push the buttons that incompacitates all TVs, COMPUTERS, PHONES, etc. made in China, causing mass hysteria by the unthinking, who believe not. Just think back on Covid. It originated in China. The CCP hates America,
I would agree with you on the insufferable Sean Hannity.He has the gift of gab but no knowledge to go with it.His butt kissing “interviews” with DT are so painful to watch.I remember about 15 years ago he had Trump on his radio show and still gung ho on the war in Iraq.After repeating all the pro war talking points Trump cut him off and said Sean who ever in Iraq who hates us the most is going to run the country.
Carney first promise is to have Free Trade between all Provinces by JULY 1, 2025, let’s see if he can pull this off. Then move onto pipeline approvals.(September) Then reimpose the carbon tax.(October just before winter)
