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.

Trumpwatch 74 – The Agenda I predicted has begun
It has been nearly three months since I wrote my last instalment in my Trumpwatch series (see here), and given so much is happening in the world today, including and especially in the world of Trump, another episode (this one) is both due and overdue, so here goes …
Continue readingBiased 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.

It was nearly two months after his Scotland visit (see here for my report), and Donald Trump visited England on a state visit – and what a splendid occasion it turned out to be.
Continue readingResponding 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?
Continue readingTrumpwatch 71 – Donald goes to Scotland
It has been a four months since I wrote my last episode in my Trumpwatch series (see here) and a week since I wrote my third in my “Watching on the wall and what I am presently seeing” series (see here). Both of these blogs are pertinent when it comes to writing this present Trumpwatch episode.
Continue readingTrumpwatch 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.

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.
Continue readingTrumpwatch 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.

It was only two weeks ago when I wrote my previous episode in my Trumpwatch series (see here), shortly following the news that the Donald had won the 2024 US Presidential race.
