Posted on November 9, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Garry Trudeau was Mocking Donald Trump 35 Years Ago

Is This Just a Space Farce?

Posted on October 24, 2022 by cdsmiller17

“I Plead the 5th”

Posted on October 24, 2022 by cdsmiller17

The 5th Amendment The American public can be forgiven if they think that this amendment is a ‘Get-out-of-Jail Free” card. In reality, it is a protection of an individual’s right to remain silent when being interviewed about a crime. This … Continue reading →

Mole or Spy? Methinks He Doth Protest Too Much

Posted on October 3, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Jared Kushner (January 10, 1981) I have to admit that, when it comes to Trump’s ‘inner circle’, Jared Kushner kind of sticks out as the outsider. Marrying Ivanka Trump may have been a masterstroke, but he still doesn’t fit in … Continue reading →
