REVIEW by Manohla Dargis for NY Times
Thursday, September 18, 2025
Every action has an equal and opposite re-action [action of 53 Senate Republicans will have a "Re-Action" that changes future Senatorial ADVISE & Consent]
In one "nuclear option" ACTION
Senator John Thune of SD has written his name
in the Senate HISTORY and DECLINE / FALL
of comity / dialogue / consensus . . .
the "blanket" vote of a mere majority of 51 required
consenting senators (R, D, Independent) make the
U.S. Senate a place where power / push-shove rules
this day and this bloc / class of nominees :
CNN Reports it was 48 together / considered
for up - down with no debate, one
by one . . .
Kimberly Guilfoyle (foisted on govt. / diplomats
in Greece ;
Calista (3rd Mrs. Newt) Gingrich (foisted on
govt. / diplomats in Switzerland + Liechenstein )
etc. etc. etc. including a MAGA - retired Congressperson to be
an undersecretary for nuclear security (whatever that is in this
era of nuclear proliferation in Asia's corners I.e. N. Korea) . . .

a falling-out with podcaster Candace Owens

While Kirk and Owens were "tight" according to Eric
Bolling more than a decade ago . . . Owens' rabbitholes

The child of FLOTUS and POTUS 47
Trump invades his own 19-yr-old's son's privacy by admitting
publicly that Barron is "very Hurt" by the assassination of
Charlie Kirk in Orem UTAH last week. There is a long-
standing taboo / prohibition about discussing the children
of POTUS and FLOTUS among the world press and
media platforms.
Barron (b. 2006) is now 19;
he speaks English, Slovene (the language of Slovenia :
his mother's native language, his Knauss grandparents'
primary language, his aunts / uncles native/first/only
language
He not only has grown stepbrothers (2) and Stepsisters
(2) even as a baby he had four nieces

According to Biography dot-com,
Barron Trump has always lived a life of luxury, enjoying
an entire floor of the personal suite of the Trump family, his
mother & father quarters in Trump Tower, New York City.
Melania at times admitted that she would call Barron,
"little Donald" because his personality is so like his
father's : very strong-minded, very special, smart,
independent, opinionated.
After his father's first election (majority of the Electoral
College : Nov. 2016) he moved into 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.,
D.C. on June 11, 2017, nearly five months after Trump and VP
Pence took the oath of office Jan. 20, 2017 and moved into
D.C. housing (the Pences dwelled at the Naval Observatory :
Mrs. Karen Pence and children and pets/companion animals).
Barron graduated with H.S. Diploma from Oxbridge Academy
Palm Beach, FL in May 2024 at the age of 18. His major in
college is business at the NYU Stern School of Business.

HERE : Arthur Sze's poem in "Poetry Speaks Who I Am" (2010) - edited Elise Paschen
from Poetry Speaks (2010)
Here a snail on a wet leaf shivers and dreams of spring.
Here a green iris in December.
Here the topaz light of the sky.
Here one stops hearing a twig break and listens for deer.
Here the art of the ventriloquist.
Here the obsession of a kleptomaniac to steal red pushpins.
Here the art of the alibi.
Here one walks into an abandoned farmhouse and hears a tarantella.
Here one dreams a bear claw and died.
Here a humpback whale leaped out of the ocean.
Here the outboard motor stopped but a man made it to this island with one oar.
Here the actor forgot his lines and wept.
Here the art of prayer.
Here marbles, buttons, thimbles, dice, pins, stamps, beads.
Here one becomes terrified.
Here one wants to see as a god sees and become clear amber.
Here one is clear pine.

Edgar Feuchtwanger's mother (1932 chapter of "Hitler, my neighbor") Other Press, 2013
Hitler's talking garbage. He says the
Jews are all Communists, and then
the next minute he claims they run
the banks -- but most of the banks
in Germany are managed by Protestants!
He say the Jews don't want to share
anything, when the man who campaigned
most vigorously for spreading wealth
around was Karl Marx - a professed Jew.
As for Leon Trotsky, he was born into a
Jewish family. Hitler criticizes them for
other things too, of course. He claims
the Communist revolution is a Jewish
conspiracy! Even though Stalin, the
leader of the USSR, isn't Jewish, any
more than other Communist leaders
around the world are. . . (Thalmann,Thorez)
. . .What about Albert Einstein, the greatest
scientist of all time and born in Germany,
should we hate him because his parents
grew up in the Jewish faith? Freud, too,
perhaps? You remember, I told you about
him, he's the man who heals people
with words; he's learning to understand
dreams, and he says we keep all our memories
inside us, even those we think we've forgotten.
Hitler wants to ban books by these great
men, to turn his back on their discoveries;
he's superstitious, illiterate and obsessed with
dark forces that don't exist. He's like the
barbarians who thought there were ogres in
the woods and who loved warfare and
sacking villages. He's less sophisticated than
the Greeks three thousand years back. You
just remember, my little BURSCHI, you must
never be ashamed of who you are!"
