The United States has become an unreliable partner

 Starlink, a US company, has shown its unreliability by capriciously slowing down its service, says both Ukraine and Denmark.  It has become an unreliable and therefore dangerous product.

Canada, the US's most reliable partner in all aspects, is now seeking to decouple from the US in both trade and defense.   

Mexico, our other neighboring partner, is constantly threatened by Trump with tariffs or other attacks. 

 In fact, there is almost no country on earth not under threat by the US, for tariffs, sanctions, or even downright takeover.     

With this in mind, it is no wonder that most of the rest of the world is seeking to lessen their ties with the US and to find more reliable partners elsewhere.  The bully in the White House doesn't seem to realize that countries don't like being bullied, and that they have alternatives to partnering with a bully.

The fine art of protesting Trump, part 2

  My traffic cone experience, 3/2/26 I planned to protest at the Trump statue today for an hour, as I did once before. I have flyers promoting my proposed ordinance that any presidential statue on public property in Rapid City has to have a traffic cone on its head IF that president was a convicted felon. So, I brought along a traffic cone to make the point for the ordinance (so far, Trump is the only president this ordinance would apply to). I also had a sign that said “Trump is a felon” on one side and “Trump starts wars” on the other. I got there about 9:55. The statue is on a corner, so there is plenty of space to walk back and forth without bothering any pedestrians. So, I stuck the cone on Trump’s head (it’s got a rubber base so it can’t hurt the statue) and started slowly walking back and forth. One guy across the street gave me the finger and yelled something at me. Several cars honked when they went by. Another guy stopped at the corner and told me I coul...

The fine art of protesting Trump

  1/28/26 I planned today to protest at the Trump statue downtown. Rapid City, SD has life-size statues of every president downtown, spread out to different corners. I wrote a city ordinance proposal that would require if any president had a felony or felonies, their statue must have a traffic cone on its head. This way, a felon would not be as honored as much as the other non-felon presidents. Trump, a felon, had his statue placed a few months ago. Of course, there’s not much chance that such an ordinance would pass, and when I sent it to the council persons, the mayor, and the group that manages the statues, only one councilman replied, and he thought it was a funny idea. So, if the city council doesn’t take you seriously, what to do? I thought to demonstrate by the statue and hand out flyers about the ordinance. And thus, flyers, sign, and traffic cone packed up, I drove downtown to demonstrate for about an hour (10-11). Nice weather, by the way. When ...

Trump tries to include "Empire Builder" into his legacy

  Countries Trump wants to add onto the United States (pop. 347 million), turning the US into Trumpistan:   Canada (pop. 40 million) - " The president has repeatedly floated the idea of acquiring Canada, despite Canada's repeated rejection of the concept."  Colombia  (pop. 53 million)  - " Trump Says U.S. Oversight of Venezuela Could Last for Years " Cuba  (pop. 11 million) - GOP Cheers on Regime Change With Cuba in Trump's Crosshairs Greenland  (pop. 56,000) - Exclusive: Trump Admiistration Mulls Payments to Sway Greenlanders to Join US Mexico  (pop. 132 million) - Trump's Attacks on Venezuela Put Mexico On Edge Venezuela  (pop. 28.5 million) - Trump Clarifies Who is Ultimately in Charge of Venezuela:"Me"  If Trump had his way, 265.5 million more people would be called Americans, or rather, Trumpistanians.  Trump is almost 80 years old and knows his time is limited.  He wants to build his legacy with buildings (White House b...
