I have been up since 5 this morning working on this and that. Today’s blog one of the items. Never completed my research till now. Ergo, the blog is late today. Sorry.

Trump is now a minor part of Mar-a-Lago. A very minor part. Perhaps merely a room. The New York million dollar lawsuit he lost plus its significant interest has finally resulted in the New York Attorney General being able to levy on the property to help satisfy the New York debt owed by Trump.

I would not be surprised in Trump Towers and other Trump properties soon follow in a similar vein.

The world is catching up with Donald!

Maduro winning the Venezuela battle at this point from his New York cell. What the world sees is Trump wants Venezuela and may improperly have taken it. He may be improperly holding on to it. Many American nations, European and Asian ones also, are standing together against the U.S.

Trump miscalculated. Four days post taking, no one seems to be standing with Donald in supporting the U.S. action, except Trump and his hoods.

An international meeting is scheduled for Monday. I suspect the U.S. is going to be deservedly abused big time.

Pope Leo is reducing the manner in which Christmas henceforth is to be celebrated. The world is reacting with anger and confusion.

Leo said he is not canceling Christmas, he is merely indicating “sacrifice,” not “celebration,” is what Christmas should be.

Leo believes Christmas has  been an expression of “wealth.” Claims it should not be. Believes we need more help for the poor and attention to their needs.

I do not agree with him. I give big time to those in need at Christmas. I believe the U.S. affluent generally do. Perhaps such is not the case in Peru or other lesser countries that Leo has served.

My advice is do not try to change what is working in the U.S. Do so in other places if you can actually see the need is required.

I speak from 90 years of experience. The Pope his lifetime also. He may be wrong in this instance. I fear he may be reacting in Chicago fashion. Mafioso style. Jump in and do what you believe is correct when it may not be.

Syracuse beat Georgia Tech in basketball Tuesday night 82-72. Syracuse having another topsy tury season. Winning some, losing some. Nothing to get excited about.  Its record now 10/5. Georgia Tech was an “equal opponent.” Its record now 10/6. 

I recall some of the Boeheim days. We had great basketball teams.  Boeheim only faltered near the end of his career. I rarely missed a basketball or football game for 20 years. I had a private box seating 16 with a bar and server. The were fun games, even if Syracuse lost. I followed the basketball team everywhere, especially New York city. Also wherever and whenever Syracuse was playing a big game. Even did four Final Fours.

I was a fan!

Those were the days!

The Senate blocked Trump’s takeover of Kennedy Center. Good bye to Donald’s name on the building and I assume his self-appointed Board of Directors.

Some oil firms say they are owed billions for earlier Venezuelan investments. Companies like Exxon Mobile and Concord Phillip claim the money is owed for investments some two decades ago.

Proof Trump did not do his homework. Probably no homework re the insurance companies before he attacked Venezuela and captured Maduro. His months of “planning” were not sufficient. The “smart man” shot from the hip again without adequate research.

Trump’s next job? To hear him talk, he might consider giving up the Presidency to have a full time job at Kennedy Center. Perhaps as its Director.

God luck, Donald! No one is going to want you!

Jack Smith will bury Trump. Trump knows it.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in a recent White House meeting told Trump “to shut up!” He was upset Trump was knocking Obama and did not understand Canada was not for sale.

A Minnesota ICE person shot a Minnesota woman to death as she was operating her car. A perfect example of ICE being weaponized.

Trump has to go! ICE has to go! Most if not all Trump’s programs must go! 

We must return to the normal U.S. we once knew.

Videos show the ICE agent who did the shooting lied. Trump appears to have done so also, as well as Homeland Security Secretary Noem.

Forget not Mark Kelly. Honest and dependable. Experienced in many ways. Would make a great President!

Enjoy your day!
