Trump lost the 2020 election. He knows it. He's a loser. 60, count them, 60 courts throughout the United States ruled against all the frivolous lawsuits he and his cronies filed to overturn the results of a democratically held election - to overturn the will of the people. His own Justice Department and Attorney General concurred. Even his Supreme Court (he appointed three of the justices) voted twice against his lawsuits. Yet he, and his feckless sycophants in the Republican Party persist in spreading the BIG LIE that he won. No proof whatsoever, Not a shred of evidence said the all the courts.
Taken October 2013 when my two sons, Brian and Martin, and me visited New York. Those are the escalators Trump came down to make his 2016 Presidential Announcement.
My plan as I mentioned last post is to show a few close-ups of Trump Alpha bear #2. I cropped this slightly to improve the composition. This day we sat on the logs for hours waiting for activity. When things picked up we moved from the beach to the tidal area. A couple people had left their bags on the beach, what a scramble when I yelled Trump. Nothing happened they were able to get their bags and get out of the way prior to the bear's arrival.
The Orange Head
Analyzing Donald Trump's Middle East policy through a philosophical lens provides a deeper perspective than just daily political news. His unique approach often clashes with traditional diplomatic norms. Fundamentally, Trump is a Realist. In political philosophy (such as the thinking of Niccolò Machiavelli or Thomas Hobbes), the world is seen as an anarchic place where force is the only law. Trump views international relations through a very narrow and transactional lens of Utilitarianism. For him, a policy is right if it provides tangible material benefits for the US (America First). There are elements of Existentialism, where Trump believes that the will of a strong individual can change the course of history, challenging established bureaucracies (The Deep State). From a Postmodernist perspective, Trump is deconstructing the narrative of the "liberal world order" established by the West after World War II. He is proving that international rules (such as the laws of war or state sovereignty) are actually fragile and can be ignored by actors bold enough to violate them. Trump's policies reflect a shift from the philosophy of Idealism (which believes in global cooperation and human rights) to Brutal Pragmatism which prioritizes tangible results for his constituents.

tRump and his MAGAt minions said only radicals, terrorists, Antifa, Marxists, and paid actors would dare protest his fascist policies. They forgot frogs.

▶ "No Kings protests took place on October 18, 2025, as part of a series of demonstrations taking place largely in the United States against Donald Trump's policies and actions during his second presidency. The demonstrations, which followed the June 2025 No Kings protests, took place in some 2,700 locations across the country, including the National Mall in Washington, D.C., Chicago, New York City, [and Atlanta].
Approximately 200 organizations collaborated to coordinate the October protests, which drew nearly 7 million participants nationwide, marking it as one of the largest single-day demonstrations in American history."

Who knows where Trump will lead us, I suspect we may experience a little turbulence. Fingers crossed he doesn't do anything to mad, though my optimism isn't high.
The Trump on the streets of London today, tens of thousands demonstrating on the streets of the capital city against his visit.

'Batch Description: @KBucklandPhoto & @brandonexplores hopped a ride with me on a night time aerial flight over Chicago. Armed with my D800, a Kenyon Labs KS-6 Gyroscopic Stabilizer, and our great pilot John, from Rotorzen, here's what I saw.
“It is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is essentially acting as a MASSIVE CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE [emphasis added]. It lies, steals, extorts, and murders — all while cloaked in the awesome authority of the state. It is on a crime spree that puts Al Capone to shame. ”

▶ The editorial continued:
“This is not hyperbole or hyperventilation. It is our reality, as the facts amply demonstrate. This administration has:
• Murdered Renee Good and Alex Pretti, slandered them as 'domestic terrorists' and 'assassins,' and allowed their killers to walk free;
• Unleashed thousands of minimally trained ICE agents, recruited with explicitly white supremacist messaging, to inflict terror on people of color;
• Repeatedly violated the constitutional rights of citizens and non-citizens by arresting them for First Amendment-protected speech, raiding their homes without judicial warrants, and imprisoning them without due process;
• Killed dozens of civilians on the high seas solely on the unsubstantiated claim that they were drug runners (not that being drug runners would justify their summary executions without due process anyway);
• Released hundreds of imprisoned felons who brutally beat Capitol police officers on January 6;
• Converted the once-independent Department of Justice into an instrument of personal retribution via the prosecution of cooked-up lawsuits against the President’s enemies;
• Threatened to seize the territory of a sovereign nation (a NATO ally no less);
• Declared that legislators should be executed for reminding military personnel of their duty to disobey illegal orders;
• Tried to impose ruinous and unconstitutional sanctions on some of the country’s largest law firms simply because Trump doesn’t like them;
• Violated court orders on a massive scale. As the Chief District Judge of Minnesota recently wrote, 'ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence;'
• Shaken down some of the country’s largest universities by illegally threatening to withhold funding; and
• Engaged in breathtaking corruption: as the conservative writer David Frum stated, 'Trump's scale of stealing and bribe-taking has never been remotely paralleled in any democratic country ever before.' ”

▶ In his commentary about the piece, MS NOW commentator Lawrence O’Donnell added:
And the Daily News did not even include in its description of the most powerful crime syndicate in history, all of Donald Trump’s violations of the Emoluments Clause [of the U.S. Constitution] to enrich himself, including accepting the gift of a 747 aircraft from the Middle Eastern dictatorship of Qatar. And the billions of dollars Donald Trump is making in cryptocurrency ventures and other rackets that he is running during his presidency.
Donald Trump knows that all of that apparent corruption could be effectively investigated by congressional committees, if, and only if, Democrats win the House of Representatives this year, or win the Senate this year. And to prevent that, Donald Trump has not come up with a new campaign message for Republicans. He has not come up with a new economic policy. He has not reversed his economically crushing, illegal, and unconstitutional tariffs.
Instead, he has seized the voting records of Atlanta voters in Fulton County, Georgia, to set the precedent that he can send the FBI anywhere he wants to seize any voting records, including ballots, at any time. Donald Trump is the first president in history who wants to take the administration of elections away from states and, in effect, count all American ballots cast in every election inside the Trump White House.”

Pretty much straight out of the camera with some Lightroom adjustments. View is of Jersey City, NJ and New York City (NYC). The center building is the Trump Plaza condominium tower.

I'm torn between continuing to scream out the frustration and pain, or whether I should just shut up and try to post beautiful pictures. I try to look away and concentrate on my little world. But as I know myself, it will still burst out of me from time to time. Thank you for tolerating my opinion on this election and on the overall development of our world.
The view from the National Gallery
“The massive portrait of Trump on the Department of Labor building carries significance beyond its visual spectacle, highlighting concerns over the personalization of power and executive messaging. Historically, authoritarian leaders—such as Josef Stalin in the Soviet Union and Mao Zedong in China—have used government buildings to project control and reinforce their image, and critics suggest Trump's display echoes this tradition.” Newsweek
The first moon for US President-elect Donald Trump. Ever since the first night of mankind, people have wondered about the dark side. Time will tell but for now it's mostly clear skies. Handheld.

By a vote of 232 - 197 the United States House of Representatives has voted to impeach President Donald Trump for a historic second time. The President was impeached for inciting violent insurrection against the government of the United States.
Bill P. has taken my beautiful swan portrait and defaced it with his interpretation of this swan with a TV personalities hair. I sure wouldn't vote for him. I do like the look though..............on the Trump-eter Swan. :-)))
