        Trump worked his David Copperfield distraction beautifully yesterday when he suggested that the United States should take over Gaza, using the military if necessary. A good magician sometimes uses distraction and misdirection to pull off an illusion: Whether the magic is of a “pocket trick” variety or a large stage production, misdirection is the central secret. The…

          There are so many Trump travesties every day that it is hard for me to decide which is bad enough to write about. Here’s one comparatively minor story that got my attention from HUFFPOST: Marjorie Taylor Greene’s ‘Disturbing’ Post About Reporter’s Foreign Accent Is Slammed. I followed up on this and found that this was also…

            Trump might as well add people with disabilities to his list of people like those I depicted above who don’t have the rights of “real” citizens and don’t belong here in his America. Sorry guys, the FAA won’t hire you. In case you doubt me when I say Trump dosen’t have any empathy for people…

              Frank Figluizzi,who served as assistant director for counterintelligence at the FBI, posted a photo of someone painting a wall at the FBI Academy on BlueSky (here) which lists operativenss, fairness, compassion, integrity, initative, respect, and stability as some of the core values of the agency. It also lists diversity. The photo was published in The Washington Post article …

                Nuff said. I post my Substacks (formerly blogs) on several platforms. They are on Substack where, if you want to submit your email, you can be notified of all new blog posts. They are on HalBrown.org. They are also on Stressline.org I also post them on Medium because this enables them to be easily found on internet searches.

                  I have admired Rachel Maddow ever since she began her show on MSNBC. I always agree with everything she says. I don’t always agree with how she says it or how she produces her show. I address the latter today.Last night Rachel Maddow found something to smile and chuckle over about something Trump did. I found…

                • Trump’s gift to the press is Candy Karoline. At least she’s better looking than Joseph Goebbels, by Hal M. Brown

                    Joseph Goebbels served his master well as his minister of propaganda. Without television Hitler didn’t need a pretty face. I watched Rachel last night when she explained unequivocally that Trump was intent on becoming a dictator and implied that anyone who denied this was a fool. If you watched this you may have had trouble falling asleep…

                  • If Rachel Maddow isn’t on the top of Kash Patel’s media hit list, after last night’s take-down she is now, by Hal M. Brown

                      Rachel Maddow is known for wearing the same black outfit on all of her shows. Kash Patel wants to put her in prison orange. Patel aspires to be Trump’s Hermann Göring. To fully appreciate why I titled this the way I did, watch the 11 minute segment of last night’s Rachel Maddow show (here). Here are…

                        This is a sequel to yesterday’s Substact: Trump and MAGA cohorts don’t lack empathy. As sadists, they have perverse empathy. I wrote this in part as a reaction to the following: ‘Cruel’: Ex-GOP lawmaker slams Trump’s border czar for Dr. Phil stunt: RawStory Needless to say, Phil McGraw is an embarrasment to me and any…
