Bitter X
It took all of 136 days, but the Trump-Musk bromance finally imploded. It was never not going to happen. Billionaires are in it not just for the billions but for their billions. Having been shat out of Donald’s inner circle with only a golden key to show for it, Elon looks likely to spill the…

Orangey Tang
I’m not big on US politics, but it seems odd that hordes of woke Democrat celebrities are popping up with their shrill warnings about Trump but never made a squeak about Diddy. Well, actually, it’s not odd at all. People will hijack whatever argument serves their objectives, and will sit on whatever suits their best…

Earshot
I’ve so far resisted the temptation to comment on the US election, but whatever your views on Trump, he’s got to be a shoo-in for anyone within earshot. In recent weeks, Mr Bjden has introduced President Zelensky as ‘President Putin, referred to Kamala Harris as ‘Vice President Trump’, and failed to recognise a buddy of…

Casino
With Mr Putin recognising the republics of Donetsk and Luhansk, every limp foghorn in the crass commentariat has been quick to point to the ‘Kremlin playbook’, as if they’re diplomatic svengalis. Yet, in truth this kind of land-grab is a favoured standby for every regime with a penchant for expansionism. Hitler did it in the…

When sections of the public express outrage at a court verdict, they’re not stating that the verdict was perverse. After all, they’ve neither examined the minutiae nor received the directions from the judge that might allow legally sound conclusions to be drawn. They’re expressing that it never went the way they wanted it to go,…

Brass Neck
President Biden has been banging on about George Floyd’s legacy and has invited the multi-millionaire Floyd clan to the White House for canapés and blather. Apparently, one of the members has snubbed the invitation because they are ‘not happy’ with the proposed policing bill. You couldn’t make it up. It’s like the Veruca Salt scene…

Face the Music
Without wishing to say, ‘I told you so’, I told you so. Trump’s acquittal was not certain but was certainly overwhelmingly likely on the evidence, or lack thereof. Yet given the bonkers twists and turns of this comedic process, logic and good sense at times appeared discarded at the door. We might have thought that…

Chapter and Verse
In the hours following the US Inauguration pomp and ceremony, CNN triumphally announced that Amanda Gorman had ‘… reminded America of what poetry can do’. Well, indirectly at least. Absolutely nothing. We had just watched the world’s most powerful nation saved from the brink of implosion, and once again, aspirations masquerading as values had heralded…

Trouble in Sight
It looks like they are all going after Trump now, albeit four years too late. He urged his supporters to march on the Capitol and to cheer some senators, ‘and others not so much’. He droned that they ‘would never take back the country with weakness’. Now, I am no expert in the technicalities of…

Capitol Punishment
The most staggering take-out from the Capitol ruckus was not the sight of a few hundred rank, one-toothed, tits-out hillbillies in full-MAGA descending on the seat of the legislative body. Nossir, it was that it took a jaunty rumble from the sweaty masses and a few waywardly lobbed bricks to prompt any serious notion of…
