“And now Yellen raised the rates.” I’ll get back to the importance of Yellen in a moment. There’s so much to unpack with this blog, given the panic of fake news, the Trumpocalypse and Evil Muva Russia 2.0 — I’ll need a series of posts to cover everything. But I want to start by explaining […]
Read More Unpacking Trumpland: The Economic Storm AheadI’ve decided to riff on Time Magazine and name my own Person of the Year, plus four entries for the short list. Needless to say that my take will differ a bit. 1. Vladimir Putin The Russia President changed the decades-long Neoliberal regime change machine in addition to changing the West’s entire narrative. Do a word cloud […]
Read More mentalunrest’s 2016 Person of the YearRemember Steve Mnuchin, the Goldman Sachs guy who became President-elect Donald Trump’s chief fundraising guy during this year’s campaign? He could be The Donald’s pick for Treasury Secretary. Mnuchin followed up his 17-year run as a Goldman Sachs banker — where he led the firm’s mortgage-backed trading group and also became the investment bank’s chief […]
Read More Trump May Pick Hard-Core ‘Whites Only’ Banker for Treasury SecretaryWe lived under the leadership of a Ku Klux Klan-loving President who broadly rejected Japan’s 1919 Treaty of Versailles amendment that would view all races and countries as equals — likely because this President had more colonial ambitions to chase that involved nations of color. We lived under a president whose treatment of Black Mississippi […]
Read More POST-ELECTION MEDITATIONS: WE’LL SURVIVE TRUMPIt’s so strange how Democrats were damn-near orgasmic during their prognostications of Donald Trump’s Presidential candidacy pulling the Republican Party through a mortal journey of permanent irrelevance — and then see Trump not only assume the left-for-dead party’s leadership role, but also become elected President of the United States. I’m sure Democrats told you to […]
Read More POST-ELECTION MEDITATIONS: THE DNC PLAYED YOU (AND ITSELF)I have plenty of post-election thoughts to share, but will have to break my natural stream-of-consciousness writing style and create a series of posts to avoid publishing tomes. This is still a blog, after all … Perhaps a good place to start is a discussion about women’s personal connection with Hillary Clinton being so close to punching […]
Read More POST ELECTION MEDITATIONS – WOMEN AND STRUGGLEPeeps, I understand where you’re coming from. Like you, I cringe at the thought of Donald Trump becoming the next US President. I’m also not a fan of electing Hillary Clinton because I can envision a fresh round of war-ravaged bodies spread across several countries during the next four years. I still intend to vote […]
Read More TIME TO FACE THIS WIKILEAKS – CLINTON THINGI said to myself “There will be guns” ever since I heard presidential candidate Donald Trump tell his supporters that Pro Hillary Clinton election officials may rig the voting to keep him away from his Big Chair dreams — and then admonished angry hordes nationwide to physically watch the polling places and remain vigilant for […]
Read More THERE WILL BE GUNS THIS FALLWHAT BOTH OF THEM HAVE TO DO Substance, please. Amazing how both candidates have been able to get so far through this campaign and not have a meaningful discussion about what they would actually do once in office. I’m beginning to think Clinton and Trump either have no real policies, or have policies that would […]
Read More CLINTON – TRUMP DEBATE STRATEGIES FOR TONIGHTIt’s disappointing to find that the remaining 29 days before the Presidential elections — despite the known data about Donald Trump having so many “ists” capping his description that it’s more efficient to call him a hateful pig who can only see the world through a White male’s lens, and Hillary Clinton’s role as the […]
