Yes, even during his election campaign in 2020, Donald Trump was already muttering about how windmills “kill all the birds.” (“You want to see a bird graveyard? Go under a windmill someday. You’ll see more birds than you’ve ever seen in your life.”) And whales, too (though there isn’t the slightest evidence that coastal wind turbines are doing so).

Let me do something I almost never do and use a modified, updated version of an old introduction (from 2021) for TomDispatch regular David Vine’s new piece. The reason: his focus today, which (sadly) couldn’t be more up to date, is on one of the estimated 750 military bases this country still has scattered around this planet.

Brave New World, 1984, Darkness at Noon, Fahrenheit 451, and A Canticle for Leibowitz were all reading for me in my high school and college years. And yet, in truth, nothing prepared me for Donald Trump. He’s already left all of that ancient reading of mine in the dustbin of history. Who could have imagined what we’re now living through?

Recently, reading an article in the Guardian by Ariel Dorfman on the deportation of children from this country, I thought about the three children, actual U.S. citizens, who were recently deported to Honduras with their mothers — one a four-year-old with Stage 4 cancer but without his or her medications.

One thing you can count on: when it comes to world-ending possibilities on this planet of ours, nothing ever seems to get better. Consider it amazing that we humans, in our strange and remarkable version of ingenuity, have come up with not one but two ways to essentially wipe out everything that might matter to us on this planet (ourselves included).

To understand it, though, you have to know that this 80-year-old walks six miles a day without fail. That’s essentially three miles in the morning before breakfast and three later in the afternoon. And how can I tell that I’ve walked that far?

Donald Trump is a classic bully. Which means, if you aren’t on his side of things (as he sees it), watch out! And count on one thing, anything involving DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) isn’t on his side of things. We know that now, of course. How could we not? He couldn’t have been clearer on the subject this time around.

Just in case you hadn’t noticed, the budget bill that passed the House of Representatives — the one that does so many favors for the already wildly wealthy, including offering a “$235 billion tax break to the top two-tenths of 1%” of Americans — will also spend a whopping $46.5 billion (yes, billion!) to construct more of Donald Trump’s wall along the U.S.-Mexican border.
