“I COULDN’T CARE LESS”

Two days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, President Trump made a previously-scheduled appearance on Fox & Friends, where he announced the arrest of the gunman, which arrest he said had occurred just moments before.  As reported by ABC News, “Trump was asked [by co-host Ainsley Earhardt] about the presence of radical individuals on both sides of the aisle and how it can be fixed to bring the country together.  You can watch the Fox & Friends clip here:  https://www.foxnews.com/video/6379207542112.

Here is a transcript of the exchange between Ms. Earhardt and the President:

“Because we have radicals on the right as well. We have radicals on the left. People have gotten [sic] are watching all of these videos and cheering. Some people are cheering that Charlie was, was killed. How do we fix this country? How do we come back together?" co-host Ainsley Earhardt asked the president.

"I'll tell you something that's going to get me in trouble, but I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. They don't want to see crime. Worried about the border. They're saying, We don't want these people coming in. We don't want you burning our shopping centers. We don't want you shooting our people in the middle of the street," Trump said. 

"The radicals on the left are the problem," Trump continued, "and they're vicious and they're horrible and they're politically savvy, although they want men and women sports, they want transgender for everyone, they want open borders."

In the Fox & Friends video, the President of the United States simply shrugs his shoulders and smirks when Ms. Earhardt asks what he will do to fix radicalism on both sides of the aisle to bring the country back together.  He says he couldn’t care less.  Think about that for a moment.

 

The President of the United States couldn’t care less about ending the extreme partisanship that is destroying the country.

The President of the United States couldn’t care less about bringing people back together. 

The President of the United States couldn’t care less about excusing—even glorifying-- radicals on the right, as American patriots fighting crimes against the United States.

The President of the United States couldn’t care less about blaming—even vilifying--radicals on the left, as American traitors committing crimes against the United States.  

And the President of the United States couldn’t care less about linking transgender people and immigrants to the radicals on the left, making them potentially vulnerable to political violence.

The President of the United States calls himself a Christian, yet he said he hopes Charlie Kirk's killer gets the death penaltyWhen he took the oath of office for his second term, the President of the United States did not put his hand on the Bible to swear before God that he would perform his duties to the best of his abilities.  For all his Christian cosplay, the President of the United States couldn’t care less about Christian values or about God. 

In a speech to Congress this yearthe President of the United States called his presidency the most successful in the nation's history, second only to that of George Washington.  And yet, although he promised on January 20, 2025: 

I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States 

Donald Trump has failed to perform the most basic of those presidential duties:  to represent, protect, and defend against harm all persons in the United States.  

For all his Christian and presidential cosplay, the President of the United States couldn't care less about any of those things.  He cares only about himself.

Keep it real!

A MONTH IN JAPAN – TOKYO, NOVEMBER 5 - 6, 2025

November 5, 2025 – Shibuya, Daikanyama, and Shinjuku The Lonely Planet Pocket Guide to Tokyo  "Walk Shibuya" describes Shibuya. Thanks to its iconic intersection, Shibuya serves as a kind of visual shorthand for Tokyo in the global imagination.   The thrumming crowds, glowing lights and giant video screens that you associate with the city?   They’re all here – and turned up to the max.   Shibuya is a center for youth culture, and particularly fashion, music and nightlife; it’s among the best places in the city for clubbing [Me:  "Oh, to be 20 again!"], live music and shopping….To the west are the hip residential enclaves of Daikanyama and Naka-Meguro; these neighborhoods …can give you an alternative image of life in the capital – one that’s low-rise and low-key (but still very Tokyo).    Shibuya Station We took the Chiyoda Line from Nezu Station a few blocks from our apartment, transferred to the Hamzomon Line at Otemachi Station, and got off at ...

A BRIEF HISTORY OF JAKUB AND MARYA

I recently assembled 15 photo albums from literally thousands of color prints my husband and I had amassed since the 1980s, as well as a handful of black and white prints left to us by our respective families and dating back to the 1930s.   Among the photos I inherited from my father, was a photo (above) of Cousin Andy Sova, Cousin Irene Sova, my father Steve Kalata, and Cousin Emil Sova taken in Garfield, New Jersey, in 1925.   The photo, like a Proustian madeleine, sent me to a file of raw genealogical research materials on my paternal grandparents my mother had compiled in the early 1990s, before her death in 1995.   I have her files here in Berlin. In those files I found a few notes, some funeral cards, and several documents about my father and his parents, as well as my own notes from research on my father’s family I’d done in 2016 through ancestry.com .   It was all ultimately pretty sketchy and inconclusive on who, what, where, and when, but there were a few...
