Far East Cynic

These worthless souls are killing our future.

Thanks to Trump, life will be nasty, brutish, and short. The K-shaped economy is a real thing, and despite what your deranged Trump-humping friends may say, Biden did not create it. Rich Oligarchs did. Consider: a. The majority of share gains on the stock market came from households making more

Their view of immigration is not what they say it is.

If ICE were really concerned about so-called “illegal” immigration, they would be doing things far differently than they are. The agency would be more of an intelligence gathering and legal process server group than an armed militia, roaming the streets terrorizing citizens and immigrants alike. They are not the way

The Old Corps is not coming back.

No matter what Hegseth says or wants — it’s the 21st Century now and the world he longs for no longer exists. From 1975 to 1979, I attended The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina. At the time, the college was all-male; women were not admitted, and this did

Enough is enough.

Charlie Kirk was no saint, and the overtime effort to beatify him is nothing short of apostasy. There’s a line in the movie, Absence of Malice, “ a lot of news is bad news for somebody and pretty soon those somebodies start adding up”. That’s Charlie Kirk’s epitaph. He took

Right, but for all the wrong reasons.

Yes, the US has too many generals and admirals, but Hegseth is not the man to fix that. Our inept Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, has stated that he wants to cut 20% of the four-star officer positions and 10% of the rest of the general and flag officer community. I am

25 Things I Would Fix About This Country If I Had the Power to Do So

And that would just be the start Without a doubt, one of the most frustrating things about living in this demented timeline is the knowledge that there are many straightforward solutions to our American “problems” that we refuse to implement. We do not do so not because they will not

Refusing to play the tape to the end.

Supporting Elon Musk’s illegal and treasonous efforts will not help you in the end. Without a doubt, the most amazing thing I have witnessed in the last month is the abject stupidity of a heck of a lot of American citizens. These are people who claim to love America but

The process matters.

Those Americans who think the ends justify the means are just as guilty of crimes against the Constitution as Elon Musk is. Warning notice! Profanity and an angry tone follows…… I have had it with my fellow Americans, who display a fundamental ignorance of how their government and, more importantly,

Jared Kushner is an idiot.

For someone who graduated from Harvard, he needs to relearn his history. I lived and worked in Germany and Israel for a good deal of time from 2011 to 2020. I’m very familiar with the history of Palestine from biblical times through our current era. So, like many others, I

Who will obey the orders?

And why would they casually disregard a sacred oath? One of the biggest lies too many Americans are telling themselves these days is that “our institutions will protect us” if Donald Trump is reinstalled as the most powerful man in the world. It would be laughable if the consequences were
