Greetings Readers,
Greetings to all and a Merry Christmas.
During this sacred as well as joyous time of the year, I feel I must celebrate to express my holiday feelings in one of the season’s classic songs:

Greetings Readers,
It is best for the American nation to rid itself of this Ass before he gets more dangerous than he is. During this period in history, and more currently, the U. S. has enough on its plate: North Korea, Afghanistan, Russia, China, nuclear proliferation, trade wars with nearly everyone, racism, environmental issues, and a sliding Wall Street securities market, everywhere is concerned of what the future holds, and surely possibly, another of those recessions around the corner, plus a divided society with excessive tribalism. During this period we certainly don’t need Trump to make a big deal issue over a wall.
He doesn’t show good strategy, patience, or planning. Mr. Trump has got to be one of our worst president ever.
If, should, this beautiful wall deal goes through and Trump wins the issue, next month he will demand more legislation done his way. I cannot imaging what, at this point, he’s already significantly increased the military budget, the nuclear weapons program, and begun a Space Command for the Pentagon, along with alienating nearly every ally the U. S. has. His gift to Wall Street continues to be unpopular with many.
Most of us liberals applaud his troop reductions at present and planned, yet am sure the soldiers will be standby’s to be used someplace somewhere. Trump under siege may desire something else more grasping, threatening, and treacherous. Who really know, it is only a guess as to what is on his erratic mind.
So, let’s hope Mueller finds a smoking gun, if there is one. Still even at that, you’ll find Trump and his hard-core of supporters will go down swinging.
Let’s be calm and get Trump’s immigration troubles solved for him in a rational way. The 8,000 who are at the Texas border should be told to wait and apply from Mexico. This trump has done. They wait, apply, and wait some more. Okay, okay, screen them thoroughly and then there will b only 4,000 able to enter the U. S. Why? Because as Trump already knows 4,000 at a minimum are MS-13 criminals, and Middle East terrorist. (a little humor there) But that’s the way to reduce immigration. Overall though, I cannot see a prosperous country of 230,000,000 + supposedly *live citizens cannot absorb 40-50 thousand migrants per year.
Peace.
All the Best to you.

Greetings Readers,
Gees, a lot of bad news for Trump this morning. The first thing the government should do is take the nuclear football away from Donald. You know the black case carried by a full colonel wherever the president resides or travels. The recent bad news for the Pres. could, may destabilize the fellow.
Just a precaution.
Oh, well not much of a chance of that. He’s a family man you know, and he’s got a good friend in Israel you know. It’s Pal Benjamin Netanyahu who claims:
“When your down and troubled and you need a helping hand and nothing, nothing is going Right. Just close your eyes and think of me and soon I’ll be there, to brighten your darkest night.
So, just call out my name and wherever I am I’ll come running to give you a hand. Winter, Spring, Summer, or fall, all you gotta do is call out my name and I’ll be there, because you’ve got a friend. (And a Rabi too, Ivanka)
Voters, and investigators, can be so cruel, they’ll desert you, they’ll hurt you, they will even try to take your soul if you let them, but don’t let them. Because Winter, Spring, Summer, or fall, all you’ve gotta do, Donald, is call, and I’ll be coming to see you again, because you’ve gotta friend. And ain’t you glad you gotta Friend.”
And by the way, “Donald, we need another 100 mil to patch up the Iron Dome. Those damn rag-heads in Gaza are acting up, causing trouble again. We just don’t kill enough of them. I just don’t know why they don’t follow the advice of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman when he said four months ago to the Palestinians, ‘Shut up and quit complaining, and listen to Israel.’ (Since denied) Lately the prince has been in a denying mood.
Have a nice weekend, America. Peace.

PS: Just because I’m a bit humorous now and then on roguedinosaur, doesn’t mean I don’t get serious sometime. One chap wrote me and said, tell us another political Joke and I said okay, okay, here goes: “Donald Trump”….
Greetings Readers,
The CIA briefing to Congress is over, and the finding have been denied by Trump and Pompeo. To the writer and many others including Congress itself the finding were undeniable: The Saudi Crown Prince was complicit in the murder of Journalist Khashoggi.
This places the benchmark on the moral deterioration of the United States, if it ever existed at all in the past. The behavior in this matter by Trump, Pompeo, and the Administration is outrageous. The U. S. has lost its moral compass. It will be business as usual with the Saudis. The prince is considered blameless, and Justice will not be served.
America, the U. S., Israel, and Saudi Arabia are blinded in their hatred of Iran for no significant good reason other than the country is a thorn in its side and does not bow to them. In this case and others, things could and would have been different in any other administration, including a GOP one, but no, know that money, the economy, and money again talks, and decidedly matters most to stay in power.
What Trump has done is doing in a firestorm approach could have been accomplished rationally, slowly, uniformly, calmly over a few years in the future, but Trump is impetuous and wants everything done immediately his way. This badly degrades the reputation of the U. S. and democracy in general. The president has bullied everyone and wants to control every aspect of the world order to his own liking, a mission that is impossible and leads to serious conflict an even a war is possible.
This fellow as we have come to know is a dangerous divider and the sooner America get rid of him the better. He is not fit to be a democratic president.
Peace, and the Best to you.

Greetings Readers,
I thought this parody of the Trump-Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman relationship appropriate as well as amusing, so am sharing it with you:
When you’re down and troubled and you need a helping hand
And nothing, nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
to brighten your darkest nights.
Just call out my name and you know wherever I am I’ll come running with
weapon contracts in hand, yeah, yeah, yeah… to see you again.
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall,
all got to do is call, and I’ll be there,
you’ve got a friend.
If the desert sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds,
and that old cold Iranian north wind begins to blow,
just keep you head together and call my name out loud,
and soon I’ll be knocking, knocking at your door.
Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall all you got to do is call,
and I’ll be there, ain’t it good to know you’ve got a friend?
Iran can be so cold. They’ll hurt you desert you.
Well, don’t let them. They’ll take your Sunni Muslim soul if you let them,
Oh, but don’t let them.
All you have to do is call the White House.
Ain’t you glad you’ve got a powerful international friend?
Sorry, James Taylor, I just had to do it.
All the Best to You.
Ron Miller
