Today is Monday, September 29, 2025. Back to a repeated yet necessary topic of discussion here, which is the delusional commander in chief who is collapsing in inchoate dementia right in front of America these days. An online opinion by former Secretary of Labor under former President Bill Clinton, Robert Reich, appears in Raw Story today entitled “This tipping point will bring Trump’s reign crashing down -and it’s close” outlines the insane things this pretender to the throne has done in just the last week.

Reich revels over the gigantic audience that watched Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue last week after he was reinstated to ABC by Disney. Apparently, over 6 million people watched Kimmel’s return to late-night television, whereas another 26 million watched it on social media, including YouTube. Kimmel’s ratings that night were a direct affront to the president’s false proclamation that his ratings were much lower than that.

Also, Dump’s dictatorial narcissism revealed itself nearly as dramatically in the criminal indictment of former FBI director James Comey, which comes directly after Chump fired the U.S. attorney who refused to indict him.

That dictatorial narcissism was evident in his directive to the drunkard Pete Hegseth, the new “Secretary of War,” to use “full force, if necessary” to “protect War [sic] ravaged Portland, Oregon” and any “ICE Facilities under siege from attack from Antifa, and other domestic terrorists.” All of this is pure bullshit, folks. This is pure fantasy arising from the warped mind of Dictator Don. There is no concerted effort from Antifa to sow violence in Portland, Oregon. It’s another distraction from not releasing the Epstein files.

There was also his crazy speech to the United Nations telling delegates that their nations are “going to hell.” What a surefire way to win allies, you must say. Then there is his much-ballyhooed press conference with quack Dr. Oz and brain-worm HHS secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in which it was announced that Tylenol is the cause of childhood autism, even though there is no damn scientific proof of this. As a result, the makers of Tylenol should sue the hell out of Dump’s government as a result of this massive smear.

Because of these measures, Dump’s approval ratings continue to drop precipitously.

Reich writes, “Voters are turning against him and his Republican Party.”

Amidst all of this chaos brought on by Dump and his stupid minions, a government shutdown is looming. This time I support Democrats not playing hardball with their fascist colleagues since these ugly repugnicans refuse to agree to extending Affordable Care Act subsidies which are now set to expire at the end of the year and to cause 24 million people to lose coverage or pay skyrocketing premiums. Therefore, there can be no compromise with these cruel members in Congress, folks. We will have to sustain some hardship now in order to show Dump and his useless cabinet that we are not capitulating – like we always sadly do at the final hour.

The former labor secretary doesn’t know exactly when there will come a tipping point when elected repugnicans will actually rebel against him or when his dementia will become so apparent that he’s forced to resign or when much of the country rises up against his dictatorship that he’s impeached and convicted of high crimes – which I find more unreasonable as time wears on, but you never know the fury of the American electorate when they realize they’ve been conned all these many years by a consummate charlatan. Reich believes that that point is coming ever closer, though.

In conclusion, Reich believes that the nation’s activism is working and believes “the slumbering giant of America” will be reawakening soon. He feels it’s about to stand and is angry. “Soon he will roar.”

Tomorrow Elliot and I are having dinner with my Manhattan cousins, “Rivka” and “Dillon.” We’re meeting them at 7 at a restaurant on 79th Street, so I doubt I’ll be writing this blog since we usually spend a good three hours or more chatting up a storm. I haven’t seen them in several months, not since they went to Mexico in late August. We haven’t seen them since July, I believe.

I just remembered: Wednesday marks Yom Kippur Eve, so I won’t be here either. I’m traveling to Jersey City to participate in evening services at Elliot’s late aunt’s synagogue on John F. Kennedy Boulevard. We won’t drive; it’s easier to take mass transit. This is the first time I won’t be attending Kol Nidre services at the Jacob Javits Center. Oh well, life is change! Something we should all embrace.

So have a good Tuesday and a good holiday for those who observe. Also, have an easy fast for those who fast during this holiday.

And so it went!
