Remember those heroes in Fight 93 who yelled “Let’s Roll” and attacked the terrorists who had seized the plane. The plane crashed in a field near Shanksville in Somerset County in Western Pennsylvania, sacrificing everyone on board
Remember the target of those terrorists in that plane?
It was the White House.
[Thank you, Bill, for reminding me of that.]

Dear Staff:
I recently received a fundraising letter signed by Erika Kirk, the CEO and Chair of your organization.
When I heard that Charlie Kirk was murdered, I had no idea who he was. The initial reports about him made him sound like a follower of Christ who was calling for a return to morality. I did some research and learned the horrible things he said about black women. He seemed to delight in the death of George Floyd. Worst of all, he supported a President who is a pedophile responsible for separating children from their parents, killing unarmed civilians on the high seas, pardoning terrible criminals, and using the government to enrich himself and his family.
I could never support an organization that is dedicated to spreading that kind of ideology and hatred.
Sincerely,
Roy Christman
Evidently Trump warned Israel that if it attempts to annex the West Bank, “Israel would lose all of its support from the United States if that happened.” This came after the Knesset passed two bills in favor of annexation.
Of course, our Ambassador to Israel, former Baptist preacher and governor of Arkansas Mike Huckabee, referred to the West Bank as Samaria and Judea, using the Biblical names favored by the right-wing settlers.
While I applaud his statement on annexation, I also find it disheartening that Trump did not criticize the murders, forced displacement, and continuous harassment of West Bank Palestinians by the Israeli settlers.
When I go to St. Lukes for an appointment, I invariably get a message asking me about how I was treated. My gym periodically sends me questionnaires asking me what I thought of the experience. The Post Office has a device on the counter asking me to press a buttons about the service. Various phone interactions often include a message asking me to stay on the line to answer questions about my interactions.
How did we do? Were you satisfied? Rank this or that from one to ten, with ten comparable to an orgasm and one approximating being burned at the stake.
Don’t worry. I am not about to ask you to rank my posts. Mostly because I don’t want to irritate my readers, but also because I fear the stake-burning comparisons.
It was not that long ago that conservatives had a hissy fit about First Lady Obama putting a vegetable garden in the White House lawn. How could she do that? Why didn’t she respect our history? It was just wrong.
If you were bent on weakening the United States, and you somehow managed to be elected President, what might your strategy be?
Create division among the people? Engineer tax cuts for the rich while people on the bottom receive increases in medical costs and food prices?
Wreck international trade relations? Impose tariffs on imports and harm trading partners?
Keep out foreign intellectuals? Reduce the number of foreign students and alienate the world’s top intellectuals?
Weaken the military? Order it to get involved in ordinary police work and order it to kill foreign nationals on boats on the high seas? Appoint an alcoholic pundit to be Secretary of “War”?
Use the Department of Justice to harass personal enemies?
Denigrate beloved national institutions and symbols like national parks, the Medal of Freedom, even the White House?
Go after the press and call it the enemy of the people, then blur the line between truth and fiction?
Appoint idiots to positions of authority?
Alienate our closest allies and suck up to foreign enemies?
Undermine the rule of law?
Deny scientific evidence on global warming and undertake policies that will make it worse?
I sometimes think Trump must be a foreign agent. His hatred of America has no bounds. By the end of his term we will be weak, divided, and unable to deal with crises. That may be true already.
So Trump thinks he is trolling us by posting a computer-generated image of him flying over America and dumping shit on us. It is the perfect description of what he is doing, and we aren’t even one-fourth of the way through his reign.
Now he is destroying the American White House. I’ve seen movies where terrorists try to destroy the White House but never before the President. I try to imagine what my landlord would have said if I brought in an excavator and starting tearing down a wall of our house on 4th Street in San José.
I am Trump’s landlord, and so are all the American people. It is time to evict that tenant. It’s not his house.
