Cliffnotes of the Zeitgeist 82nd Edition. The This Is Your Economy On Dementia Edition.
Substitute brain for economy, and drugs for dementia, and you get a picture of what might very well be going on with the administration of the United States right now.
Is Trump Insane?
As Donald Trump’s tariff plan slams the stock market, investors are beginning to wonder if the president doesn’t have some broader economic agenda—but rather if he’s just mentally ill.
The New Republic.
They're just asking this now? Some of us have been stating that Trump is probably demented for a long time.
This is a serious, not a rhetorical, question.Some psychologist have looked at his behavior and said no, others, have said a definite yes. For instance, an April 1, 2025 interview of Dr. John Gartner states the following, and accuses the press of "sanewashing" Trump:
He is losing his capacity for coherent speech. We’ve collected dozens and dozens of Trump’s phonemic paraphrasias, in which you use sounds in place of an actual word (a hallmark of brain damage and dementia). What happens is that someone is trying to say a word and then they get the first part out but they have to end it or create one because they can’t remember the rest. Trump will say something like ‘mishiz’ for missiles, or “Chrishus” for Christmas, because he can’t complete the word. Then we see also a lot of semantic paraphrasias, in which he uses a word incorrectly, as in “the oranges of the situation” because it rhymes with “the origins of the situation.” This is not within normal limits; his basic ability to use language is breaking down.
So there is that verbal deterioration. And then there is the physical deterioration. He used to be quite graceful, and now he uses a wide-based gait typical of frontotemporal dementia, sometimes he swings his right leg in a semi-circle. He also has trouble getting up the ramp; he has trouble doing physical things.
The other way we see deterioration is in his behavior. Actually, this is where people say, ‘Well, how can you tell? He’s a bad person; he breaks every rule of law and decency, what is new?’ But he is much more impulsive and erratic now. He blurts things out; he makes impulsive decisions that he has to then reverse, like his many reversals on tariffs.
‘The Press Has Sanewashed Trump’s Dementia and Mental Illness’: Dr. John Gartner by Diana Hembree
I think there's a lot to this, and have for some time. I don't think he's a well man. The amazing thing is that there are an army of people backing him up. Gartner notes some are doing so for their own purposes:
Now people may think that because Donald Trump is demented that he won’t be very effective in his agenda. But the problem is he has the whole Project 2025 team behind him, led by Russell Voight. And he’s got Elon Musk, who is a mental health study in and of himself. Musk is on the spectrum; like Trump, he is hypomanic, and like Trump, he is clearly also a sociopath. He feels no remorse in inflicting pain on people; in fact, he feels a sense of glee and mastery in doing it. He was joking about using a chainsaw (to cut federal jobs), holding one up and laughing about it. He’s taking away the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of innocent people. He’s a monster, just as Trump is a monster, and Trump attracts monsters. Now we have a real Trump problem, because we now have a whole government that is populated by people who have some version of his personality disorder.
‘The Press Has Sanewashed Trump’s Dementia and Mental Illness’: Dr. John Gartner by Diana Hembree.
Okay, that's pretty extreme, but that doesn't mean that he's incorrect on Trump. . . and Musk.
Some related threads on this one:
We should worry.
And there's plenty of evidence of this. Consider this statement when the Dodgers recently visited the White House:
When you ran out of healthy arms, you ran out of really healthy, you had great arms, but they ran out, it’s called sports, it’s called baseball in particular, and pitchers I guess you could say in really particular.
Donald Trump
What the f***?
Or this, about the Great Lakes, this past week:
I assume the lakes are all interconnected.
Or this, earlier this month, on groceries.
An old-fashioned term that we use – groceries. I used it on the campaign. It's such an old-fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it.
The last two comments are monumentally stupid.
By the way, if Trump is demented, this will get worse. His dementia will get worse, and his erratic behavior will get worse. His meanness will likely get worse, and its already pretty evident.
And I say this as a person who has witnessed the onset and advance of frontotemporal dementia in a person up close, and personal. Let's take a look at the symptoms, according to Mayo, keeping in mind they advance over time:
The most common symptoms of frontotemporal dementia involve extreme changes in behavior and personality. These include:
- Increasingly inappropriate social behavior.
- Loss of empathy and other interpersonal skills. For example, not being sensitive to another person's feelings.
- Lack of judgment.
- Loss of inhibition.
- Lack of interest, also known as apathy. Apathy can be mistaken for depression.
- Compulsive behaviors such as tapping, clapping, or smacking lips over and over.
- A decline in personal hygiene.
- Changes in eating habits. People with FTD typically overeat or prefer to eat sweets and carbohydrates.
- Eating objects.
- Compulsively wanting to put things in the mouth.
Speech and language symptoms
Some subtypes of frontotemporal dementia lead to changes in language ability or loss of speech. Subtypes include primary progressive aphasia, semantic dementia and progressive agrammatic aphasia, also known as progressive nonfluent aphasia.
These conditions can cause:
- Increasing trouble using and understanding written and spoken language. People with FTD may not be able to find the right word to use in speech.
- Trouble naming things. People with FTD may replace a specific word with a more general word, such as using "it" for pen.
- No longer knowing word meanings.
- Having hesitant speech that may sound telegraphic by using simple, two-word sentences.
- Making mistakes in sentence building.
Movement conditions
Rare subtypes of frontotemporal dementia cause movements similar to those seen in Parkinson's disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Movement symptoms may include:
- Tremor.
- Rigidity.
- Muscle spasms or twitches.
- Poor coordination.
- Trouble swallowing.
- Muscle weakness.
- Inappropriate laughing or crying.
- Falls or trouble walking.
For a man in command of the world's most powerful Army and Air Force, and second largest Navy, this should be a matter of grave concern for everyone.
What were you thinking?
That's what those who voted against Trump have been wondering about those who voted for him. New stats on this, however, suggest that many rank and file Trump voters now are at the point that they understand why those who voted against Trump wonder that. They're wondering a bit themselves.
In spite of the embarrassing spectacle of Trump apologist struggling to keep up with his meandering and dangerous policies from day to day, most Trump voters didn't vote for anything like what we're seeing. They simply discounted the warnings.
Is White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stupid?
There's a fair number of people who are asking this question.
She is a college graduate, but she comes across as a somebody who obtained her position for her looks. It's embarrassing.
As a co religious of mine, she's embarrassing. Married to somebody 32 years her senior (that's odd) and who lies without hesitation, which is sinful, she also comes across as simply dumb.
Catholics, who fit into a group that a lot of "Evangelical Christians" of the type Trump supports that, while being the first Christians, aren't regarded by the latter as Christians, are, I'm convinced, really going to come out with the short end of the stick the longer the Trump Administration lasts and the association of a certain brand of Christianity, which they aren't part of, with Trump, is going to hurt Christianity in the US overall.
No Female Four Stars

There are 27 four star officers in the U.S. military, including two in the Space Farce.*
Not one of them is a woman.
It hasn't been really noticed, but with dismissals in the Trump administration, they're all gone.
I doubt this is an accident.
Now, this is where I'm probably legitimately a target for the charge of hypocrisy, as I don't feel that women should serve in combat.** I don't object to them being in the service, however.
Now, a person could, an d rightfully, point out, that if women can't serve in combat, it'd be difficult for them to obtain a combat command, and that would be true. . . except history has demonstrated the opposite.
Dwight Eisenhower never had a combat command. Neither did George Marshall. And the Coast Guard arguably has no combat commands, although a person could argue that. The Space Farce very clearly has no combat commands and there's no earthly reason whatsoever that the various occupations occupied by their junior birdmen couldn't be occupied by either sex equally well.
Indeed, the dirty little secret of the US military is that at some point after World War One, and before World War Two, most occupations in the military are in fact non combat roles.
And speaking of the Space Farce. . .
Getting fired for being sane.
U.S. Space Force Col. Susan Meyers, 821st Space Base Group, noted her support for Denmark after J. D. Vance visited her base and got canned immediately thereafter. She noted that her base in Greenland proudly flew the US and Danish flags.
For Release
Published April 10, 2025
By Space Operations Command Public Affairs
Pituffik Space Base, Greenland -- Colonel Susannah Meyers, commander of Pituffik Space Base was removed from command by Colonel Kenneth Klock, commander of Space Base Delta 1, on April 10, 2025 for loss of confidence in her ability to lead.
Commanders are expected to adhere to the highest standards of conduct, especially as it relates to remaining nonpartisan in the performance of their duties.
Colonel Shawn Lee has assumed command.
Col. Meyers may be the first serving officer to publicly criticize the Trump administrations per World War One colonialist views. She surely knew she'd be relieved and fell on her sword. Good for her.
J. D. Vance seems to have something against Europeans. He may really be a hillbilly. Whatever it is, in spite of being very well educated, he just doesn't seem to like them, which may be proof that you can take the hillbilly out of Appalachia, but you can't take the Appalachia out of the hillbilly, even if he is from Ohio.
I just can't see how this is a good thing.
Degenfelder Cheers Dismantling of U.S. Dept. Of Education At White House Signing Ceremony
Wyoming Superintendent of Education Megan Degenfelder was in attendance. Governor Gordon begged off, saying he had other things to do.
Maybe he did, or maybe he just didn't want to be associated with this populist bad idea.
Trump, in signing the executive order, stated; "“We want education to come back to them — to come back to the states — and they’re going to do a phenomenal job". Yeah, well clearly they aren't all doing a phenomenal job now, and they're already in charge of education. Frankly, tha'ts a pretty uneducated statement, but then its not like Donny or his family have every had to depend on public education.
The Wyoming Education Association, which is made up of teachers, was less thrilled.
“The Wyoming Education Association stands in strong opposition to the dismantling of the Department of Education (DOE),”
Wyoming's Secretary of Education stated:
“It’s just a truly momentous and historic day for education in America, and it’s a win for American students,” said Degenfelder. “We’re taking out the middle man in education, putting education back where it belongs — in the classroom and not in D.C. offices.”
Degenfelder ran in the last election against Sergio Maldonado. I voted for Maldonado who is a Native Wyomingite and Native American. He's also a professional teacher, which Degenfelder is not, who is a graduate of BYU and Arizona State University. While he's no spring chicken, he's a doctoral candidate at the University of Wyoming. He had served during the Bush Administration as a member of the National Advisory Council on Indian Education.
He's also a Democrat.

Monday, March 31, 1975. Resupply and luck.
U.S. Army Chief of Staff Frederick C. Weyand was in South Vietnam and determined that: "It is possible that with abundant resupply and a great deal of luck, the GVN [Government of South Vietnam] could survive...It is extremely doubtful that it could withstand an offensive involving the commitment of three additional Communist divisions...without U.S. strategic air support."
Colonel William Le Gro of the U.S. Embassy said that without U.S. strategic bombing of North Vietnamese forces, South Vietnam would be defeated within 90 days, which proved to be an overestimate of the time the South could hold out.
Gro would later write a book about the fall of South Vietnam.
North Vietnamese General Dung, was instructed to "liberate Saigon before the rainy season [mid-May]" rather than the original plan of taking the city in 1976.
Technicians from the United States Atomic Energy Commission escorted by Navy SEALS removed the fuel rods from the nuclear research reactor at Dalat University (Đại học Đà Lạt) in Đà Lạt, capital of Lâm Đồng Province, Vietnam. and flew them to Johnston Atoll. It was a Catholic institution at that time. It still exists, but of course is no longer a Catholic university.

End Athletic Admissions to Military Academies — Minding The Campus
End Athletic Admissions to Military Academies — Minding The Campus: Secretary Peter Hegseth’s first order to the Department of Defense promised “a focus on lethality, meritocracy, accountability, standards, and readiness.” To the extent that the Service Academies—West Point, Annapolis, the Air Force Academy, the Coast Guard Academy, and the Merchant Marine Academy—take this directive seriously, they should end athletic admissions. Such a move would change […]

Friday, March 13, 1925. Tennessee prevents evolution in schools.
In a uniquely American struggle, due to the strong influence of Evangelical Protestantism in the country, the Tennessee General Assembly approved the Butler Act, which prohibited public schools from teaching evolution.
CHAPTER NO. 27
House Bill No. 185

Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee, That it shall be unlawful for any teacher in any of the Universities, Normals and all other public schools of the State which are supported in whole or in part by the public school funds of the State, to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals.
Section 2. Be it further enacted, That any teacher found guilty of the violation of this Act, Shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction, shall be fined not less than One Hundred $ (100.00) Dollars nor more than Five Hundred ($ 500.00) Dollars for each offense.

This is a really goofball bill out of the far right, of couse..
SEA0016 SF0120 Wyoming PRIME act.
SEA0020 SF0006 Residential property-removal of unlawful occupant.
The following have made their way to his deak:
House Bill 172 allowing for the lawful concealed carry of a firearm in any meeting of a governmental entity, including the legislature and committee meetings; any public school, public college or university athletic event that does not sell alcohol; any public elementary or secondary school facility; and any public college or university facility. passed the legislature, but will need reconciliation. The Senate added three amendments including changes stipulating that concealed carry is prohibited in public airports locations where federal laws apply and that people cannot carry a concealed weapon into any elementary or secondary school facility if the person is enrolled as a student at any elementary or secondary school.
That last one is a particularly good, and amusing, amendment. The original bill would have allowed 18 year old students to pack heat at school
What could go wrong?
On this bill:
Wyoming students stage die-in outside governor’s office: CHEYENNE—Humming “Amazing Grace” and lying on the floor outside Gov. Mark Gordon’s office, a group of University of Wyoming students hoped to send the
This Governor should veto this, but it would be overridden, so my guess is he'll let it pass without his signature.
The bill barring issuance of out of state driver's licenses issued to illegal aliens passed as well, even though it is completely unconstitutional.
The amended bill creates exceptions for employees of the United States government operating a government owned or leased by the government on official business; nonresidents with a valid license in their immediate possession issued by the licensing authority in their place of residence; nonresidents on active duty in the armed forces of the United States with a valid license issued by their state of residence; and nonresident full-time students at the University of Wyoming, any Wyoming community college, any school licensed in this state offering post-secondary education or at a parochial, church or religious school with a valid license issued by their state of residence.
All of which leads to the conclusion that the amended bill actually does nothing. That's a good thing, but this was one of the five and dime WFC bills, and in the end, while they'll claim victory, it just does nothing much.
House Bill 46, “Homeschool Freedom Act,” passed the legislature in an effort to keep the education of children at home as secret as possible so that nobody knowns how darned ignorant the home schooled squeakers really are being kept.
This bill is bad, and should be vetoed. Frankly, I'm at the point where I don't approve of homeschooling at all.
The Senate Education Committee rejected a proposal Monday that would have required University of Wyoming trustees be elected instead of appointed, which would have brought, in the eyes of its proponents, right wing populist to the university (before the law of unintended consequences kicked in. . . ). It deserved to die.
The House Education Committee passed by a 6-3 vote a bill that calls on Congress to call a convention of states. The bill will next move to the House for final consideration, where it probably will passs.
A convention of the states, by the time it happens, would likely repeal the 2nd Amendment and limit the oval office to one six term, with the occupant pretty much politically castrated.

Governor Gordon Signs First Bills of 2025 Legislative Session
CHEYENNE, WYO – Governor Mark Gordon signed the first bills of the 2025 Legislative session at the Capitol today.
The first bill to be signed by the Governor was Senate File 20, Oil and gas bonding-options and bonding pools, a bill that provides important support for producers in Wyoming’s core oil and gas industry. Sponsored by the Joint Minerals, Business and Economic Development committee, the bill benefits Wyoming’s energy industry and provides additional support for small oil and gas operators. The bill was developed in response to excessive bonding requirements implemented during the Biden administration that would have been devastating to many Wyoming oil and gas producers. The bill establishes an account to allow small operators to cover the costs of bonding and eventually the costs of plugging dry or abandoned wells.
“Wyoming has always had a leadership position on these issues,” Governor Gordon said, thanking industry partners and the Legislature for working on the issue. “This is a wonderful bill.”
The Governor also signed House Bill 75 - coal severance tax rate. The bill reduces the coal severance tax rate from 6.5 to 6 percent, bringing it in line with oil and gas severance tax rates. Also signed today was House Bill 54 - Chancery court judges-district and circuit court assistance, which can help address heavy caseloads in Wyoming’s District and Circuit courts by allowing Wyoming’s Chancery Court judge to hear cases in those courts.
The Governor signed the following bills today:

The Senate will not be passing a supplementary budget, the first time anyone can recall this occurring.
Supplemental budgets have been done since 1975. The fact that it couldn't be done shows that something went awry, even though its unclear what. It even came as a surprise WFC figure John Bear, who bizarrely noted that the House would now have to work harder to make sure things were funded, which coming from the government dislikely WFC is a pretty odd comment. Bear also stated that "However, I do believe in the sovereignty in our God, he saw all this beforehand, so I’m not terribly surprised.”, which is also sort of a peculiar comment but an insight to Bear's thinking, and likely that of other WFC members, and almost reminiscent of the "Allah wills it (In sha' Allah,إن شاء الله)" view of Islam.
New WFC Natrona County Rep Jamie Lien and Casper Mayor Pacheco sparred over the legislature's property tax bill which will gut municipal revenue like a fish.
The bill to make School Board races partisan so that voters could avoid thinking bout candidates and automatically just vote for declared Republicans died in the House.

And another week has passed.
HB 172, the free fire zone bill, um, the bill repealing gun free school zones, went into law without the Governor's signature. He noted that he would have been inclined to veto it, but the veto would have been overridden. He was right in his views all the way around.

A new law just passed restricting abortion caused the State's only abortion abattoir to file suit:
