Twitter shuts down Trump. and so his library loses its exhibits. more important he loses 88million followers even more important it shuts down his revenue stream important question is this. can the Impeachment process continue with the new administration some dems seem to think so.. if he's impeache...

Chalkperson

My understanding that even the simplest impeachment process takes nine days minimum. But, if they vote to impeach, then he’s the first president in history to be impeached twice. Invoking the 25th amendment is unlikely at this point, he’s better off resigning. “Mr Nixon, they have the votes” Then Pe...

Last weekend Trump flew back from Mar A Lago to instruct the pentagon to recall the Aircraft Carrier Nimitz from the Gulf. \ Against the advice of SECDEF and the Joint Chiefs. This was to encourage Iran to make War, but the Iranians are not stupid, the nimitz was turned back around less than 36 hour...

His son Jose told me that he was in the Clinic mainly as a precaution, so he could be monitored full time, he's back home now and enjoying good food again.

His son Jose is a very dear friend of mine. He had been sending me videos of his fathers Operas with Carlos Kleiber last week to keep me occupied whilst in Lockdown. He said his father thought Kleiber the Greatest Conductor. Then yesterday he sent me a Text about his fathers condition. Sadly he’s un...

The Queen always carries a handbag, even to the toilet.
The Duke of Edinburgh walks with his hands behind his back.
The reason is that the both felt they were shaking way too many hands back in the 60’s and 70’s. So between themselves the decided on the plan.

Good for them, smart thinking.
