More Exciting News from the White House

I know that those who read my articles will be interested to learn that President Donald Trump has appointed Martin Marks to be his administration’s liaison to the American Jewish community with the title Special Assistant to the President and Director of Jewish Engagement in the White House Faith Office. Marks, whose mother handbag designer Lana Marks served as US ambassador to South Africa in Trump’s first term, appears to be well qualified for the position as “Before turning to politics, [he] was a writer and owned a yoga studio in Palm Beach.”

Will We See Mushroom Clouds Over Kashmir?

One of the world’s, oldest and most dangerous conflicts went critical this past week as nuclear armed India and Pakistan traded threats of war. The Kashmir conflict is the oldest one before the UN.
In my book `War at the Top of the World’ I warned that the confrontation over Kashmir, the beautiful mountain state claimed by both Islamabad and Delhi, could unleash a nuclear war that could kill millions and pollute the planet.

Robert Kennedy, Jr. (RFK), the new Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Marty Makary, the new Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner have pledged to remove industry conflicts of interest (COIs) from government agencies.

With Congress Preparing a “Fiscal Tsunami,” States Can Choose Differently

The word taxes made out of money

Tax policy experts and lawmakers have long circled 2025 as a year to prepare for. What makes it so significant?

For one thing, Federal COVID money to states is expiring, straining state budgets at the same time the economy is starting to weaken. For another, Republicans in Congress are working to increase and extend President Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations — while cutting trillions from health care, housing, and education programs for everyone else. And it all up and you get a fiscal tsunami.

While major tax policy changes are being made and discussed in Congress, this is also happening in the states.

Super PACs can be abolished

How is Donald Trump managing to receive $1 million bribes (by a more polite name, of course) for a dinner at his Florida lair?

What is Elon Musk using to offer voters in state elections $1 million for their votes?

How is Vivek Ramaswamy flooding televisions in Ohio with his campaign for governor over a year out from any election?

What is spreading like an epidemic into local races like those for mayor of Boston and New York — with Andrew Cuomo in New York seeming to skirt the rules by using this entity as if it were his campaign, and one billionaire dumping $1 million into attacking a candidate in Boston?

If you said "Super PACs," you're right! Click here to tell your state to get rid of them!

Profits for Trump and the rich amidst an economy in growing distress

Trump’s self image

Trump’s enrichment
New York Time’s journalist Steve Rattner writes on April 27, 2025, how Trump is
the biggest beneficiary of his own chaotic economic policies
(https://stevenrattner.com/article/new-york-times-trumps-biggest-benefici...
himself). He’s worth citing at length.
“No presidential administration is completely free from questionable ethics
practices, but Donald Trump has pushed us to a new low. He has accomplished that
by breaking every norm of good government, often while enriching himself,
whether by pardoning a felon who, together with his wife, donated $1.8 million to
the Trump campaign; promoting Teslas on the White House driveway; or holding a
private dinner for speculators who purchase his new cryptocurrency.”
