Trumpwatch 75 – Venezuela

When ten years ago I began my Trumpwatch series, recognising Donald J Trump to be a/the significant figure of my time, I little realised I would still be blogging about him by virtue of the fact he continues to be at the centre of something significant. Just over two weeks since posting my 74th instalment, I am posting my 75th, and on a subject not covered previously – Venezuela. Less than three days into a New Year, it looks like it won’t be a peaceful one.

Biased BBC Reporting, Donald Trump, and attacks on Christians in Nigeria

Please bear with me for addressing three subjects that interest me in the same post, recognising that folk who are not in my shoes (i.e. everyone) may see these as being unrelated. But as someone who is committed to blogging about things that matter, as I join the dots and continue to watch on my wall what is happening around me, and trying to make best use of time, that’s what I am about to do.

Responding to people, especially Christians, who don’t get “It”, and what is “It”?

Let me begin by asking you, dear reader, a question, before I attempt to answer my own and get on to my response. In the past week, we have learned of the assassination of Charlie Kirk (see here for my thoughts), the Tommy Robinson “Unite the Kingdom” rally (see here for my thoughts) and now we are on to Donald Trump’s still ongoing state visit of the UK (see here for what I wrote about his last visit to the UK) (all my “see heres” are pertinent, btw). My question is: what have all these events got in common?

Trumpwatch 69 – Money makes the World go round

Yet another Trumpwatch episode so soon after my last one, BUT so much is happening in the world where Trump features (and he features in a lot of it). Meanwhile, I watch the Cabaret and, while thinking that this is a central theme of one of my favourite musicals by that name (see here). I thought I would make this episode about another of Cabaret’s themes: Money (see here). The advice to “follow the money” is a sound one to getting to the bottom of things.

Trumpwatch 67 – Aaron’s Beard, Woke Bishops and Stargate

Fasten your seatbelts folks – this looks like it is going to be a roller coaster. Having just upset a well-respected, woke Christian leader friend, I sense I may be about to do so with equally well-respected non woke Christian friends and as for oil down Aaron’s beard, the prospect of that happening any time soon is not looking good.

Trumpwatch 66 – Trump’s inauguration and what to expect

In two days’ time, barring a major catastrophe (which is well within the realms of possibility according to my sources) Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the USA, will once again be inaugurated, this time as its 47th President, and few doubt that this will be of major significance and will have a huge bearing on future world events.
