Republican Lawmakers Are Ready to Kick Elon Musk to the Curb

Jan 6, 2025 | Donald Trump isn't the only person getting sick and tired of Elon Musk - Republicans in Congress are also ready for the world's richest man to shut his mouth and sit in the corner. Republican lawmakers are STILL fuming over Musk's lies about the recently-passed budget bill, and they aren't holding back their disdain for his claims. But they won't dare actually get rid of him because they love his money more than they hate his antics, as Farron Cousins explains.

The Lincoln Project: Message

Dec 12, 2024 | A message for Republican Senators: Trump's agenda will fleece your constituents, while lining the pockets of his billionaire buddies. If you vote for Trump's policies, the fallout will follow you to your graves. We'll make sure of it.


Under Trump Mk2, we will witness the USA being turned into a full-on plutocracy. Trump is the mega-billionaires' fool. And they’ll play him like one, too. We will soon witness the superrich getting richer and richer, and the impoverishment of ordinary Americans. How the American electorate could have fallen for this undemocratic cr** is beyond my comprehension. Moreover, if I am not greatly mistaken, after Trump, America will never be the same again.

By the way, when it comes to economics, Trump is clueless. Trump thinks that Wall Street rising and rising is indicative of the economy burgeoning and booming This is nonsense. Wall Street is like a casino. It is perfectly possible for the superrich to be making gazillions for themselves on the stock market even when the economy is faltering, even when the workers and middle class are struggling to survive.

We can look forward to a rough ride. – © Mark Alexander

Thom Hartmann Programm : Inside Billionaires' Brazen Attempt at Fascism

Nov 5, 2024 | This is not how a democracy is supposed to work. The “demos” in democracy means “the people.” Democracies are supposed to fulfill the will of the people; add the protections for minority groups a republic provides and you have what the Founders called “republican democracy” and we refer to as a democratic republic.

US Funding Failure Will Have Serious Battlefield Consequences, Says Ukraine

GUARDIAN EUROPE: Zelenskiy aide says ‘foreign policy has become a hostage of internal politics’ after Republicans torpedo aid bill

The repeated failure of the Biden administration to get a funding package for Ukraine approved by the Senate will have real consequences in terms of lives on the battlefield and Kyiv’s ability to hold off Russian forces on the frontline, say Ukrainian officials.

The latest move by Senate Republicans to torpedo a bipartisan bill that would have combined $60bn (£48bn) in aid for Ukraine with aid to Israel and increased border security measures is a bitter blow for Kyiv. It could signal a very grim year ahead as the US political agenda settles into an election year with Donald Trump all but certain to be the Republican candidate.

As the two-year anniversary of Russia’s full-scale war in Ukraine approaches, Ukrainian officials say the delay in US support has already had a clear impact on the battlefield, where Kyiv’s exhausted troops have a severe hardware deficit in comparison to the Russians. » | Shaun Walker in Kyiv | Thursday, February 8, 2024

And some Americans, hopefully albeit few in number, appear to be rooting for Putin to win this war! Scott Ritter appears to be one of those people! (And what, pray tell, are we to make of Tucker Carlson’s interview of Vladimir Putin?)

Please don’t forget to watch this discussion between the distinguished, if a little controversial, extremely right-wing Roger Köppel [Wikipedia] of the well-known Swiss journal, Die Weltwoche, and the no less controversial American, Scott Ritter [Wikipedia], who clearly argues Putin’s case for him!

I have decided not to embed this video lest people think that I endorse Scott Ritter’s viewpoint. I CERTAINLY DO NOT. Listening to Scott Ritter speaking in this video, stuns me. Prepare yourselves to be stunned, too! – © Mark Alexander

Please note that the video starts in German but soon changes to English for Roger Köppel's discussion with Scott Ritter.

Click here to watch the video and listen to the discussion. By the way, even its title is mind-blowing!

Elizabeth Warren Warns of National Abortion Ban If GOP Wins in 2024

Feb 5, 2024 | Senator Elizabeth Warren is sounding the alarm about the potential of a national abortion ban if Republicans win in 2024.


Keep the Republicans OUT of the White House until they come back to their senses! Abortions must be kept legal. Whether a woman has, or needs, an abortion has nix to do with politicians and everything to do with the doctors’ judgment. The need for an abortion is a medical not a political decision. – © Mark Alexander
