President Trump’s Address to a Joint Session of Congress last night was a disgrace. His words fraught with danger. His thoughts scary.
He has been a failure as a President, a failed businessman, and a failed human being.
Trump wants everyone to believe the U.S. is a failed nation and he is going to save us. The failed one is he, not the U.S. However if he is successful continuing as he has the first six weeks of his second Presidency, he is going to bury not only the the U.S. but the entire world. Economically and militarily.
His audience was equally disgraceful. Republicans and Democrats alike. The Republicans cheering a leader who will fail in the end. Fearful of the man who leads their party. Afraid to stand up for what is right. Afraid to oppose wrong.
The Democrats befuddled. They know not what to do. The “enemy” different from any they have ever known.
As the U.S. fails, so will the rest of the world. First, economically. Trump’s tariffs will give birth to inflation and a major recession worldwide. As bad as the one that began in 1929.
Loyalties are changing. Yesterday’s friends are becoming today’s foes. Yesterday’s foes today’s friends. The U.S. and Russia a perfect example.
The Republicans and Democrats as seated last night reminded me of nations waiting to do battle centuries ago. Facing each other on a battlefield. At an appropriate moment, moving forward against each other.
We are not a nation in decline. We could become one under Trump’s Presidency, If Trump seeks personal success, he will find it if he destroys what was a great nation with his wayward judgment, lies and mistruths.
Food for thought.
Lou – you are underestimating our (America) situation.
We ARE a nation in decline and it is BIG. Have you forgotten that this is not Trump/MAGA’s first go around. He’s been in power for nearly 10 years now and MAGA’s since Sarah Palin nearly 10 years prior to that.
Our decline is because people like you are still soft peddling and being wishy-washy about the whole mess.
The problem is here and NOW, not some vague “getting worse.”
We are WAY PAST and alarms going off and well into the fire!
Is that a call to arms?
Louie – I spit my Cheerios all over my countertop as I read today’s comic relief you call a blog. (I was bored so I clicked on it).
Did you, of all people, just refer to Donald Trump as “a failed business man”?
Was he occupying a bunk in the hostile your blogging from before he was elected? Are his billionaire family members (officers in his corporate entities) with generational wealth stained by their crimes and subsequent punishments, like, ummmm yours are?
Unfold your chair and watch the waves roll in at the public beach. Stop this political poison and Google search regurgitation.
The 13 people who read it will be better off.
Atlantic City (x6)? Eastern Airlines, Trump University, People’s Express, Plaza Hotel NYC. Beverly Hills homes, Trump Vodka, Trump.com, and on, and on, and on….,
More telling is that no one can find that Trump has EVER paid Federal or any state income tax, suggesting that HE has never really made any money.
So… Trump as “a failed business man” does seem to have some truth, doesn’t it? At least compared to Warren Buffett or even Elon Musk and many, many others.
But he sure does fit the profile of a con man/hustler!
the financial markets in America are acting as if we are being led by somebody who’s declared bankruptcy 6 times!
Why isn’t he in jail?
You have a mean heart if you cannot clap for a 13-year-old cancer survivor, cannot respect 13 American soldiers killed at the hands of cavemen. And tell me why a mayor needs to spend 2,000,000. dollars to have someone tell him what too said if he really means and believes it. The Democrats last night were dumb!
Mean Heart? More like a sick mind, if you ask me!
“The Chinese organized crime epidemic in Maine hasn’t been limited to black-market cannabis, either.”
Maine’s Governor. supporter of boys competing in girls’ sports, has her hand full with over 300 Chines grow houses now in the Maine woods. And they are using highly toxic chemicals on their wed is now being looked into by the Feds. The new sheriff is on the move.
Roland, this is Lou’s “Key West” blog, not your private vent hole. Lou NEVER commented on, or are any of us interested in mazzive swarms of Chinese organized crime types manufacturing what is for the most part a legal drug, in the wilderness that is the remote northern Maine woods. Nor is Lou, or the rest of us worried about boys competing as/with girls in your weird and backward state of Maine, the north’s most southern state.
If you want to kvetch about this, fine, but please get your own blog and try and respond and stay on subjects Lou brings up.
That just MIGHT reduce everyone else’s opinion about how rude and unhinged you MAGA freaks really are.
Hey Lou, billionaire businessmen take risks. Some fail and many succeed! The democrat party is childish with their silly signs and abhorrent behavior on issues that clearly are bipartisan! Greenland should absolutely be part of the US! Trump isn’t looking forward 2-4 years. Trump is protecting our US interests for 50 years and more! Lou, your grandchildren are lucky to have DJT leading our country!!
Hey Troll – you are definitely drinking WAY too much of the cool-aid and it is affecting your judgement
Naw, you are actually just trolling with a total lack of honesty. Everything ALWAYS with a spin.
Marry you do not like the truth? Maybe you would like the Biden family bank account?
Kim? – I’d love any of the Biden bank accounts, just to pay for my ever increasing grocery and living expenses. But I don’t think he’s offering that to anyone. By the way, your post make’s no sense. What does the Biden Bank account have to do with the (any) truths and what’s your interest in me and/or Biden, which no one brought up with relationship to ANY of this?
He is a Democrat, one who does not stand for a kid beating cancer.
Can you back that (out of the blue) statement, with an explanation having anything to do with Biden’s bank accounts?
Why do we have a “Department of Efficiency” led by someone who took one of the world’s most successful social media platforms and ran it straight into the ground?
“We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends—weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.” Ronald Reagan
“Those undergoing surgery were at significantly higher risk for depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and substance use disorders than those without surgery,” says the study.
A good attorney could make some money here>
Roland, this is Lou’s blog not some sort of Social Network website, where one comes to vent personal thoughts and political comments. I think I can speak for the most of Lou’s readers who would say we don’t appreciate your uncalled for and personal interests and that it makes you look like a jerk.
I think I could also speak for the rest of us and ask Lou to delete these obviously uncalled for and rudely intended intrusions.
Should we be alarmed at these lawyers’ loss of clearance?
President Donald Trump issued an executive order Wednesday targeting the law firm Perkins Coie LLP, directing federal agencies to suspend security clearances for its employees, review contracts linked to the firm, and investigate its hiring practices for alleged racial discrimination.

“Last month, Zeldin (Lee) announced his team had sniffed out $20 billion in taxpayer money from this Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund that had been parked at an outside institution (CitiBank, it turned out) until it could be doled out to a handful of far-left climate nonprofits.”
Do you think I can get any of it back?
Ben, this is Lou’s blog not some sort of Social Network website, where one comes to vent personal thoughts, political comments and probably false. I think I can speak for the most of Lou’s readers who would say we don’t appreciate your uncalled for and personal interests and that it makes you look like a jerk.
