How's it going with gas prices, Donny? Oh, and inflation? Any good news. Then there’s the war in Iran? Working out OK, troops home by Christmas? Looks like you’re still making America great again, though so far only China is cheering you on – can’t trust those commie bastards!

Goodness, look here! The gas prices in the US are up $1.32 on average since Donny’s ‘limited military adventure’ (© V. Putin, left) began at the end of February. Well! Who would have thought it! That’s a 44% rise, though not

50%, mark you, so the news is not all bad.

The excellent news for the White House is that it can take a short breath of relief in between explaining why although Donny apparently ‘aced’ the four ‘cognitive’ tests he has taken since January 20, 2025 – that’s 16 months ago – his doctors thought it necessary that he should be tested – FOUR times.

I was born on November 21, 1949, so I’m exactly three years, five months and seven days younger than Americas’ smart, savvy, wise, thoughtful, youthful and statesmanlike [delete as applicable] president, but on the question of cognitive tests, no one has so far thought it wise that I should take one (except, perhaps, my wife, but she has what is politely called ‘an agenda’).

These two illustrations (one above this text, the second below) outlining the startling – and for Donny embarrassing – sharp rise in gas prices were added to my previous post just now to flesh out a point I was making.

But I am posting them here separately as the 13 bods who have so far viewed that previous post since it was posted at about 5pm yesterday and 2am (British Summer Time) might miss it as they are unlikely to reflect ‘Do you know, that post I read earlier was so well written, so incisive, so wise that I think I’ll read it again!’

As for that cognitive test, one it isn’t just the White House that can breath a sigh of relief: all good Americans can console themselves that when their president is shown a picture of a horse, he can name it, when he is asked that the date is, he is spot on and when asked his name, he scores over 50%. Something to be proud of, at least, and than the Good Lord for small mercies.

(BTW The capital G and L are this confirmed atheist’s attempt to be polite, considerate, respectful, understanding and all the rest of the tiresome bullshit now demanded of those of a liberal-leaning:

You really do believe that frogs are uniting to organise the Second Coming for Jesus and hiring the Red Hot Chili Peppers for the occasion? Well, I am obliged to inform you that I disagree and think that is more than unlikely and doubt I shall change my mind but I certainly respect your right to hold unorthodox views though I must decline your kind invitation to debate the matter with you.
