KTA Is Worse Than TDS

Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social: “A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS.”

It's hard to know where to begin analyzing that statement, I suspect psychology students will be studying it for years to come. To a layman, it shows a complete lack of empathy, and being totally self-absorbed with himself. While I'm not surprised by his callousness, I'm interested to see the reaction of his supporters. Trump went on to say...

“He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness,”

As my disillusionment with Trump began appearing on my blogs, my partisan Republican readers have been using the TDS slur against me. I'm sorry to tell them that their blind support of Trump may well be the real pathology...KTA, Kissing Trump's A--

Hispanics Speak Out In Miami

Post graduates students of this blog know that in addition to my Allentown base, I rent a small, low rent office inland from Cape Canaveral. While my desk shakes when the Brightline Death Train roars by, I can see the endless rockets take off from the Cape.

For Florida news, I have secured the services of a retiree on the west coast, and a college student in Miami. The Miami intern reports about the message sent Trump and the Republicans with the recent mayoral election there.

A Democrat won for the first time in thirty years, and with a large majority. While the Hispanic community is mostly Republican, and advocates for legal immigration, it is alarmed by the gestapo actions of ICE. The other issue propelling the Democrat's win was affordability. Trump can tell those geniuses with the red hats at his rallies that affordability is a Democratic myth, but that won't help any Republican get re-elected. Keep in mind that Miami was Trump country, where he plans on building his presidential library.

A Place For The Unaffiliated

There are a number of groups, Principles First among others, that don't relate to the current administration and certainly not the MAGA element. Some are quite organized, with seminars and conventions. Then there are the non-joining discontents like myself. This is a place for us non-joiners. No membership, no donations, no meetings. 

This is not a new blog, nor am I a new blogger. Previously the blog was titled Rainy Morning Chronicle, but I have always been Michael Molovinsky:) I also publish Molovinsky On Allentown, since 2007. This blog will retain the posts published under the old heading. 

I am an independent conservative, registered to vote in Pennsylvania. Like many other northerners long in the tooth, I spend some time in Florida, on the Space Coast, which was Trump country. Like the beach after a bad storm, I'm starting to see erosion with his support.

Florida Edition, Brevard Secrets

Subscribers of this blog know that I have a satellite office in-land from Cape Canaveral. While my little desk rattles from the Brightline Death Train whizzing by, I can see the endless launches from the Cape.

The days of NASA putting up a rocket a year are long gone. Space X, which I call Space Junk, goes up over twice a week. Each rocket has a dozen or so satellites. Cape Canaveral is across from the mainland. It is separated by the Indian River, a half-mile wide lagoon stretching down the coast about 150miles. 

Only in the last few years has the county government started giving lip service to the health of the lagoon, contaminated by continuous development on both the mainland and the barrier island. The lip service has yet to overhaul inadequate sewer systems, and other realities. No one even mentions pollution from the space industry, which is now the growth engine of the area's economy. 

There's an old blogger in a small office by the railroad tracks...

Jarrett Coleman, Pa. Watchdog

When it comes to the taxpayer's money in Pennsylvania, only one elected official out of one of the largest statehouses in the country seems to care. Jarrett Coleman started the initiative to have a real audit of Allentown's NIZ, and the roadblocks put in his way have been endless.

He likewise is now looking into a $mil spend on security in Josh Shapiro's private residence. That expense apparently was buried with the repairs to the governor's mansion in Harrisburg, which was victimized by an arsonist attack last year.

As a political independent and blogger concerning myself with government shenanigans, I don't have a rapport with many politicians... Coleman is an exception.

Saturday Night Live In The Poconos

If I was the casting director for Saturday Night Live, I could not have come up with a better group behind Trump for his Affordability speech. I'm even including the likes of John Candy, John Belushi and Bill Murray. Add those flash cards and it was a classic skit. I only saw a short portion of it...the scene put me to sleep like laughing gas.

While this blog has been critical of Congressman Ryan Mackenzie, Trump's praise for Dave McCormick was the kiss of death for my vote. Fortunately for Dave, he's only in his first year of six.

Although I have most of the speech to hear before I put this review to print, I doubt that he said anything substantive about affordability. With that audience, I doubt that anything substantive was needed. Apparently, the real purpose of the rally was to energize his base for the midterms. While those students of government were willing to brave the Pocono cold for their leader, I'm not sure that they will bother to turn out next November....Especially if the economy continues its downward spiral.
