September 8, 2025 Enter Stage Right: The Demolition Crew.
George Washington in a whimsical mood I know, the events in these next few posts took place in the spring but it’s hard to keep up, y’know. The current administration loves living in the middle of chaos. It gives him the feeling he is a puppeteer and everyone around him look to him for direction.…
The First 100 Days? Give your Head a Shake.
It’s all a bit hard to watch the current “never have I ever” when in during first term of the Dear Leader he held an open cabinet meeting where every newly appointed cabinet secretary spent their speaking time praising and thanking Mr. President for allowing them time in his divine presence. Oh, and there was…
Playing catch-up: Inaugural review
The gaps in this journal seem to be getting longer and longer.

Feb 26, 2025 Time to Pick up the Pace
It is so hard to keep up with the crazy the Commodus in Chief is cranking out. Every day something new comes on the news to top the previous standard of outrage. One day he issued a variety of social media posts proclaiming himself king. He’d issued a social media post proclaiming he’d struck down…
February 19 A New Hat for a New World
Week 4 - where to begin? It’s been an ongoing series of ‘oh look over there’ and complete batshit crazy decrees from HRH Don R to baffle onlookers and leave the rest of the world gob smacked with terror. It isn’t funny anymore. Well, okay, there is an urge to laugh at the dissonance of…
DT Commodus; Season 2: Chaos Restored
A Brief (yeah, okay, not so brief) Review Week 1 was spent walking around in a freshly concussed state of trying to remember the day and location. The question of ‘how many fingers am I holding?” replaced by what’s the current number of executive orders he’s issued today. It was impossible to keep track of…
