US: Warning as Government Shutdown Deepens Impact on Travel & Livelihoods! (8.11.2025)

Baker noted that the U.S. has experienced shutdowns in the past decades, during which both parties had real differences but they also recognized the need for compromise. However, in this case, “that recognition does not seem to be there with the Trump administration and the Republicans.”

In his view, the Republicans “are mostly to blame in that they have not approached the deadlock in good faith”.

In order to streamline government and expand its own executive power, the U.S. administration wanted to use the “government shutdown” to advance large-scale layoffs of federal employees and closure of agencies related to the Democrats, according to U.S. media.

The Democrats also have their own calculations. The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) noted the standoff has become a messaging battle, with each party betting the public will blame the other.

US: Ticking Time Bomb as Debt Reaches New High! (8.11.2025)

“The reality is that we’re becoming distressingly numb to our own dysfunction. We fail to pass budgets, we blow past deadlines, we ignore fiscal safeguards, and we haggle over fractions of a budget while leaving the largest drivers untouched. Social Security and Medicare, for example, are just seven years from having their trust funds depleted – and you don’t hear anything from our political leaders on how to avoid such a disaster,” Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget President Maya MacGuineas said in a statement.

The critique lays bare America’s fiscal predicament, that is, political numbness toward systemic failures has become normalized.

While both parties remain deadlocked in partisan disputes over budgetary deals, they persistently avoid addressing the root cause of debt expansion.

The U.S. is stuck in a perpetual cycle of issuing new debt to service existing obligations—a spiral with no exit in sight. This relentless accumulation suggests the national debt bomb is destined to keep growing.

Trump's Anti-Intellectual Credentials on Display Again!

Trumpism on Full Display – A Day That Will Go Down in Infamy! (23.9.2025)

Most of the far-right are hyper-individualistic and thoroughly anarchic in their attitude and activities (these individuals are the true terrorists). Anarchists are usually pro-fascist and very rarely support any form of anti-fascist protest. Indeed, genuine anti-fascist movements are just as likely to oppose Anarchist as they are far-right movements and activities. It is clear that neither Trump (nor his Advisers) understand exactly what “Antifa” is – and how they can ban it. Just as the US declared war on the abstract concept of “Terrorism” – he has declared war (sort of) on the abstract concept of “Antifa”. This will be interesting when Special Police Units target terrorists in the US – as they will be applying an anti-fascist ideology. Trump might have to arrest his own Police if the law is to followed. It is the usual ahistorical and anti-intellectual nonsense we are used to coming out of the US.

Decoding the Spectre of “Freedom of Speech” in the Trump I & II Eras! (30.7.2025)

As the US is dominated by anti-intellectualism – the left has been completely deconstructed and re-invented into an alien concept premised upon the “devil” as found within Christian theology. Freedom of speech under Trump I and II is nothing less than the far-right saying anything it wants – and doing anything to anyone it prefers. Centrists bourgeois ideology is now viewed as “Communist” – with leftist and far-left rhetoric declared “Bolshevik” and “Marxist”. As the average US citizen knows NOTHING about Marxism, what the American far-right is discussing is nothing but its own deficient (and hate-filled) imagination. In many ways, the far-right hates itself and what it represents – in other words its own ugly reflection – and calls this hideous reality “Communism”. Of course, what the far-right represents has nothing to do with “Communism”. For Trump I and II – freedom of speech – is anything the far-right wants to say, with Communist oppression being any resistance to this fascism!
