Fire and Fury: Shocking First-Hand Horror Story of White House Chaos

Fire and FuryAfter reading Michael Wolff’s new book Fire and Fury, I’m now certain that Donald Trump is by far the least competent and most insane president to ever occupy the White House.

This blow-by-blow eyewitness account, supported by recordings of most of the conversations, is a shocking tour through the infighting, hate, and total incompetence of the entire staff of the Trump Administration. The only sane people in the building must be the Secret Service agents, kitchen workers and lawn care staff.

After reading this well-written, gripping and true horror story, I can only conclude that our country is in the deepest trouble it’s ever encountered in its 241-year history. I’m also even more disappointed than ever in everyone who was conned into voting for this monster.


Even though I suspect not every word of this book is true, I think most of it is. Page after page, Trump’s true personality makes its loathsome and toxic presence evident. The most frustrating aspect of this is that this pathetic, incredibly stupid individual was completely transparent about what we would be getting if he became president. And he still won the election!

It’s hard to believe that so many people in our society are so gullible, so completely brainwashed and ignorant that they don’t know what they don’t know. Most of the voters described as Trump’s “base” are so filled with hate and confusion that they could correctly be called sociopaths.

If someone as incompetent as Trump can make it to the White House, what else is in store for our battered country? I can only hope the United States can survive this grave error in its electoral process and somehow set things back on course again.

Facebook is a ripoff. Here’s why

While YouTube returns most of its profits to those who create its content, Facebook keeps all its profits for itself and its shareholders. I think this is greedy and wrong. Watch this insightful video by Derek Muller of Veritasium for details.

If you don’t feel like watching the video above, let me sum it up for you while editorializing at the same time: Facebook is reducing the number of people who see your updates. Why? Because it wants you to pay to promote them. Continue reading
