The Trump Chronicles, Volume 175: Now We Know Who Pete Hegseth Worships: Trump

Last month I wrote that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth worships a dangerous God after he prayed for “unbreakable unity, and overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.” A few days ago President Trump posted an AI generated picture of himself that portrays himself as Jesus healing a sick man. In fairness, Trump removed the post.

Trump claimed he wasn’t portraying himself as Jesus, but as a doctor. So here’s the problem: a doctor would be wearing a lab coat, not robes that we often see Jesus portrayed in. Also, doctors normally use medications or devices to heal and here he doesn’t even have a stethoscope. Instead we see light emanating from his left hand, something we mere humans can’t do.

Interestingly enough, Trump is getting blowback even from his supporters. You can read about it here.

Seriously Donald, get help.

The Trump Chronicles, Volume 161: Let The Flipping Begin

In a post last month I spoke about (among other things) Georgia’s indictments against former President Trump. I suggested that there were so many co-conspirators because the prosecutors hoped one or more of them would “flip,” that is, agree to testify against Trump in hopes of a lighter sentence.

Well it’s happened. Two of those indicted, Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, have agreed to testify in return to reduced sentences. This happened as jury selection was beginning for their trial. One of the conditions of the agreements is that they both truthfully testify against Trump and the other conspirators. They both avoided jail time and we have to believe they have pretty devastating testimony against Trump.

In other bad news, Trump’s choice for the next House Speaker was Jim Jordan and his fellow Republicans voted today to remove him from consideration. It appears that Trump’s strategy of bullying and threatening to get his choice is no longer working.

More later.
