9 January 2021 Many readers felt that the previous blog had an unjustified heading, that America far from being destroyed was actually to rediscover her founding spirits and would spring board from the insurrection at The Capitol and renew her leadership of the Free World.

The Drama That Destroyed America
8 January 2021 I wanted to see signs of positivity in the swirling cesspool that engulfed America finally before Trump quit office. It was something I had stuck my neck out and predicted, I had even hoped America would avoid this situation by a Democratic landslide, which didn’t. It is not that Republicans have a […]
6 January 2021 The idiom ‘ brazen it out’ acquired a whole new meaning since 2016 with the advent of Trumpism, which has had its epoch from the Inauguration Day 2017 when the famous ‘crowds for the swearing in’ came into fray, signalling a beginning of a Presidential term that was going to be based […]

Flashville @ Nashville
26 December 2020 I have waited for some time to see if any details will emerge that could be confirming my initial analysis of what went down in the main streets of Nashville, in front of its tallest building belonging to AT& T on Christmas morning in the State of Tennessee.My initial thoughts were simple […]

3 December 2020 Called Squattergate, Denialgate, griftgate and more, Donald J Trump Jr’s post 3 November stance has been simply ‘gravity defying’.

A Promise that did not quite land!
1 December 2020 Barrack Hussein Obama, is many things, but he was not an African as in a Kenyan nor was he a Muslim as in Hussein, he was not quite the African Slave descendent Black, nor was he from the American heartland. In what can be a attribute of greatness to him, he came […]
25 November 2020 One of the worst decisions taken by President Trump was his firing of Secretary Defense Mr Esper for refusing to kowtow his desire to pull out American Troops from Afghanistan before the end of his term, ahead of any verifiable mutual agreement between the Taliban and the Afghan government at Kabul https://thesoufancenter.org/intelbrief-how-will-a-u-s-drawdown-impact-afghanistan/.
