A simple yet accurate statement: The America we have is rapidly slipping away.
Another simple yet accurate statement: Trump is economically illiterate.
A New York Times Opinion Piece suggests some Presidents act like 5 year olds. I agree.
Gaza’s hunger is a moral crisis. Israel and the world could do much more to alleviate the emergency.
Universities and the President should not be in bed together as some are becoming. Independent thought is vital. It has to come from somewhere. Be certain. Disagree when necessary. Come up with new thoughts on occasion.
What is happening today is wrong. Trump is crucifying and changing the modus operandi of our institutions of higher learning. Freedom of thought is on the chopping block.
Trump is operating the Justice Department from a personal perspective. With no credibility. He has his nose in everything.
The year 2026 has become everything. So suggests Frank Bruni. He believes Democrats must prevail in the midterms. I agree.
Trump’s actions against civil society harm us all.
A California county is experiencing a fast moving wildfire. The fire has grown almost 5,000 acres as it spreads.
Trump has ordered the Pentagon to be used where it has not before. He is requiring the armed forces to carry out certain police enforcement activities.
The military are not police officers. Not trained to be, nor do we want them to be or so act. “We the people” do not want our military to be cops also. Understand!
Ukraine is greeting the planned Trump-Putin summit with deep skepticism. They do not believe Trump and Putin have the ability to deliver a peace plan they can accept. Especially when Ukraine has basically been kept out of the planning for the summit.
Trump is up to it again! He has revived his first term policy of separating migrant children from their parents. Even more wrong, the newer version is happening far from the border.
The Trump Administration has begun to strip federal workers of union protections. The Department of Veterans Affairs appears to be the first agency to begin such terminations. The anticipated terminations thus far more than 30,000.
Government takes the place of management. It functions as management does in non governmental employment. Protections are required in the public governmental sector also. Especially where Trump is the boss.
A federal judge has chastised Trump for moving FEMA funds from one area to another. Judge said no way, Jose! Trump cannot be permitted to screw around with FEMA. The man must be taught to leave well enough alone.
Lawmakers from both parties have castigated the White House for letting money for cancer research be moved to other areas. How stupid Trump’s people are to have allowed such activity.
GOP doing fewer town halls. Understandable! People, regardless of party, are getting beat up. They know and don’t like it. They are refusing to take it anymore.
Will it affect the 2026 elections? Of course!
Trump continues to play get even. One example is Lteta Jones’ successful fraud case against the Trump real estate empire. A second suggests the Justice Department is looking into James’ high profile litigation against the NRA.
Sick! Not the way government at its highest level should be conducted.
Everyday items like cars, coffee and clothing are poised to get pricier with new tariffs. Average U.S.D. tariff rates will get higher .Eventually jump to a high not seen since the Great Depression.
Thank you, Donald!
I have been out of the hospital 3-4 weeks. Better, not well yet however. Still using walker. Cannot use cane. My activities strictly limited. Not driving, not walking without assistance. Fortunate to have friends and relatives to drive me around and run errands for me.
Doctor says another two months till better better. Normal, hopefully.
Sometimes I am not a happy camper. Limited overall re activities. However I am 90 and still here. So I try to complain not and say thank you to all who assist me.
Enjoy your day!
Keep on trucking, Lou.
Louis – time to rename your “blog” (fill in the blank word document) Left Wing Lou – My Views On Donald Trump.
The stories of your life are far more interesting and not as jaded as your leftist rants.
Get back to basics!
Amen brother! Please Lou, let’s have some insight into one of our favorite places to visit- Key West!
This is “Lou’s” blog, it’s content and opinions are completely up to Lou.
If you don’t like what he has to say, then simply don’t read it. Quit trying to change him or what he writes based on your own preferences, unless of course, you are trying to show how ignorant and biased you, yourself might be!
For more information about Key West, check out the TDC website.
I have been reading Lou’s blog since at least the mid 1990’s and find it hasn’t changed much. Lou has ALWAYS written about his meanderings and about politics – as HE sees them.
Although I don’t always agree with Lou (particularly with some of his restaurant choices) I am not so arrogant and openly manipulative as you trying to tell him what HE should do with HIS blog.
STOP with the nasty aggression to people you obviously don’t like anyhow. You are giving what used to be called conservatives, a bad name and stifling our own feelings about good governance.
I used to enjoy Lou’s blog about Key West people, places, and events. Now it’s all Dems great, Republicans bad. What a bore!
OK Kevin, thanks for sharing. Now stop torturing yourself by stop reading Lou’s blog and then bothering the rest of us who like it as it is.
Or, if you are just a pest – allow us to celebrate your constant dishonesty.
Lou, I appreciate your point of view, especially as it is informed by many years of observing our country and our beloved Key West.
Lou’s blog has ALWAYS been a political blog, with a bit of Key West (once a VERY liberal place) goings on worked in – long before you anarchists have made fools of yourselves and our once proud country, by pretending to be conservatives.
Stop being annoying malcontents and crybabies and help the honest and decent people from being ruled by a strongman dictator.
Hey Lou, Letitia James, oh the irony!
Irony? No, more like trumped up revenge. Watch out, you could be next.
Hey Lou, please share with Mary that I don’t lie on my mortgage applications. Trumps revenge? Possibly so but with the actual evidence to prosecute Letitia! Letitia won’t be the last one! Merrrick and Hillary may be next! Biden and Obama are lucky SCOTUS ruled for presidential immunity
Neither did she. The document suggesting she lied was an unofficial worksheet, not the document officially filed, helping her niece buy a modest house. This is well reported and officially recorded. The hoopla was nothing but a hoax, cherry picked by Trump dimwits like Lou’s poster (the same person who claimed that Barack and Michelle would be divorced by June 1st), who has no problem posting lies on Lou’s blog about everything on Lou’s blog. Then complain to Lou about HIM not being fair.
Right wing zelots constantly embrace personal dishonesty to make any point they want.
How would Lou know if you lie on your mortgage applications?
Judging from your other posts on Lou’s blog, I for one would put money on the likelihood that you would yes, probably lie on your mortgage application(s).
Prove to me otherwise?
My friend Louis… keep doing what you do. Illegitimi non carborundum
You do you and the haters are just going to hate.
See ya at the chart room… when we are both in the bar.
