Donald Trump, Tuesday, coupled a racist rant against Congresswoman LIhan Omar and “hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia” with his wish that Norwegians, Swedes, and Danes immigrate to the United States.  For me the question is, do Scandinavians want to immigrate to the United States?

“World Population Review” suggest the answer is, “No.”  Their research concludes the “Happiest Counties in the World 2025” are 1. Finland, 2. Denmark, 3. Iceland, 4. Sweden, and 5. Israel.  The United States of America ranks 25^th.

For a study of why Finns, Danes, Icelanders, Swedes, and Israels are happy, see “On Socialism” in My Really Good Essays and Poems – One old man’s musing.

Too often Americans treats symptoms rather than causes.

Housing the homeless, murdering drug smugglers in the Caribbean, and warehousing lawbreakers, are analogous to combating the rising water in a reservoir by dumping more dirt on the dam.  The only way to fix the problem is, hop in your skiff, motor upstream, discover the water’s source, and divert it.

Americans’ problems gave grown systemic.  Why are Americans homeless?  Why do we need conscious altering drugs?  Why do we commit crimes?

Diagnose the illness, treat its source, and its symptoms vanish.

Unprovoked demolition of merchant vessels on international water is pre-meditated, cold-blood or murder!

If Commander in Chief Donald J. Trump orders a member of America’s Armed Forces to rob a bank of commit murder, should he or she obey the order or the law?

Who mocked a physically handicapped reporter and called another “piggy?”

Hint: Rhyes with “rump.”

Electing Donald J. Trump President of the United States of America is proving akin to handing a three-year-old a loaded pistol.

The ignorance and irony underlying Donald Trump‘s Halloween Great Gatsby soirée is stunning!

Had Donald read F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel he’d have known Jay Gatsby was a fraud.

At an oval office event, November 6, President Donald Trump’s narcissism was exposed in stark detail.

When a White House guest fainted, staff and others scrambled to help.  After a downward glance, Donald’s attention averted.  Standing behind his desk, the President’s expression reflected total mental and emotional detachment.

Paste on a Cheshire-Cat grin and it might have been a cardboard cutout for a campaign event, a novelty MAGA minions could cozy against for selfies.

Feeling  and expressed concern, any other American President, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, would have taken appropriate action.

President Donald Trump has denied SNAP benefits to the least fortunate Americans.  How can anyone with a sense of compassion do this?

How can the President of the wealthiest nation on earth deny food to its most deprived individuals and families.

Rank, right-wing madness!

Gun rights advocates argue, “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” 

Americans are 26 times more likely to be killed with a gun than citizens of any other First World country.

On an average day, over 300 Americans are shot, a third of these are killed.

What would these numbers be if Americans did not have guns?
