Claude Mayers Interviews Influencers, Scientists, Activists, Poets

Going back in time to that insurrection day, January 6 2021, reflections come. As with this poem (off by one year, mea culpa s'il vous plait) Donald and Dear Dad Fred interacted, his father still in his mind today impelling him to Never Surrender. Relect with me, with credits to Mary Trump, psychologist and niece of Donald . . .

Jimmy Buffett helped us change our latitudes and our attitudes as we followed his beloved, happy, sometimes philosophic, energetic music. Millions of us Buffett fans around the globe are still grieving while listening and celebrating Jimmy's tunes. When I watched the spontaneous Key West parade for Jimmy during Labor Day weekend 2023, it inspired me to write my personal reaction to this vast g...

Jeffrey Smith, the leading spokesperson concerning the dangers of genetically engineered food and microbes, is interviewed by Claude Mayers. GMO = Genetically Modified Organism      Your 'foods' can be killing you! Synthetic foods produced in labs using the latest imprecise technology of gene-editing is discussed -- which Mr. Smith calls “GMO 2.0.” Resulting mutant microbe...

The spirit of Trump is still with us in the halls of white supremacist power. Gov Brian Kemp of Georgia signalled to the white policemen present in the Georgia State Capitol last week on 3-25-21 to arrest Ga Representative Park Cannon for daring to knock on the closed doors where/while Kemp was signing the state's racist voter suppression bill into law, flanked by six old white men, with the idyll...

Well, the nightmare of being weighed upon by the vulgar racist denigrating consciousness of the now-departing #45 should be over today. Joe Biden and a new era begin this afternoon. This poem was written Jan 18, 2021. May we all unite and love one another again. There's reason. Even if the major factor in the vacuum is the negative of Donald departing from any significant power over 330 Million Am...

Jan 20 can't come soon enough? At least Trump is hiding away so we don't have to hear that voice of his and all his hateful incapable blaming denigrating words. Even the tweets are toning down. But he is President. And he does have a job for which he is responsible to all of us Americans. Shedding ruination on our nation as he throws his garbage all over the floor as he slowly heads out the door....

It's almost over. The worst presidential reign in history has 34 days left in which to torture us. Betrayed followers ready to kill for their conman. The veil still covering their corneas in a coat of white pus. Why have decent people been subjected to such gross lying destructive autocratic behavior? And never a word to Putin while having a bullyname for everyone else? Mankind is not what we thin...

Yes he and his spirit are still with us. Ruth Bader Ginsburg's spirit still lingers in the ether.....Perhaps the oppressive spirit of Donald Trump will fade and wane, and acceleratingly so - on and after Jan 20th 2021. . . . . Meanwhile it hisses like a snake and smogs over our cities, ranting in our overladen ears from enough is enough....do we EVER want to hear that voice again? OY! . . . 

Trump loses. Lies that he won. As if there are no such things as mail-in or absentee voting. Continuing his insanity. Probing bombing Iran. Putting incompetent people into offices in the Pentagon. America threatened by this loser. Going Out In A Blizzard of Lies and Lawsuits                   - - - today's Tr...

Trump and Nixon: Two self-labelled 'law-and-order' presidents - who both were/are crooks. And publicly denied/deny it. Throw in Ronald Reagan, our third modern-day law-and-order president, with his Iran-Contra Scandal and the cocaine smuggling along with guns and money and our supposed enemy in the Ayatollah Khomeini reign of the 1980s, the country of Iran. All three presidents acted as if they we...

Trump only cares about one person: himself. He revels in rallies. Where people don't wear masks, and pack themselves together. While the number of new Covid cases keeps rising, setting records almost every day, along with hospitalizations.  And with his administration doing as bad as it is with Covid, he lies to his followers over and over again, lately telling them "We're rounding the corner...

Covid-19 is hitting its highest heights in the USA. And of all the places on Earth, the two Dakotas, North and South, are leading the charge, with the highest per capita incidence of new Covid cases. Kristi Noem, South Dakota's Governor, rules her desolate state fiefdom. With her unrepentant approach to mitigating Covid-19's relentless march across her state. Which is no masks, no mitigation. Stub...

It must be getting a bit thin - the Reverence.  For Donald Trump. With Covid-19 the worst it has been so far in America. And Trump just lies as if he has no idea of what the facts are and the charts show, saying 'we're turning the corner . . . .' Lie Lie Lie A reflex he has, as natural as breathing. Breathing lies. And never admit to any mistakes. Thank you, Roy Cohn!  'Abandon The Rever...

Wouldn't it nice to have peace in the White House? Instead of chaos and the casting of blame and hate to violate anyone and everyone not on Donald Trump's wavelength?  Today's Trump Poem 'Idealistic Leaders'

38 Trademarks applied for by Donald Trump were approved by China, after he was elected President. Spring Chang was Trump's Beijing-based lawyer for the transactions. Emoluments Clause in the Constitution, just in case you can't quite recall it word for word: From Article I, Section 9:  No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Tr...

You can't continue to be fooled by the demagogue, the cult leader, who tells you to believe him, not what you see and/or hear. With your own functioning senses.  A spiritual poem.  'You Must Believe What You See And Hear' is today's Trump Poem.

As Donald Trump freaks out, holding his maskless rallies and tweeting about how he could garner multimillion dollar donations from corporations for favors he could do for them, it is a good time to commemorate Preet Bharara, former US Attorney for the Southern District of NY. The New York Times called him one of the "nation's most aggressive and outspoken prosecutors of public corruption and Wall...

Well, we made it to the future! And look at where we find ourself. Too much technology, some people don't even know their own phone numbers. We have to rely on our phone, atrophying our memory. Impairing our ability to think? Be critical of what is transpiring before our eyes. There so many lies to weed through. Especially those from our President. Who hit the 20,000 mark back in mid July. The Was...

Getting closer to the elections, our candidates are out on the campaign trail. Trump at his rallies. Saying anything that comes into his head to please and excite his base of followers. A stream of consciousness emerging from his lying mouth, wherefrom over 20,000 lies and false claims have been spread to those in earshot of his voice. Yesterday saying if he loses to Joe Biden, who he said was the...

Donald Trump in front of an audience, cannot stop himself from saying anything to please, to connect with his audience. Lies abundantly flow like an infinite river. We now have a CURE for Covid-19 he told his NBC interviewer on television last night. Untrue. We have drugs that ameliorate symptoms, like he received Regeneron and Remdesivir, with a little anti-inflammatory steroid on the side: dexam...

We're getting close to Election Day. 10 million people have already voted. The candidates are out there trying to win your vote, those of you who have not voted yet. They are saying all kinds of things that are not true; making promises they want you to believe. This poem is especially for you veterans of all sorts. But especially those of you who served our country. And made sacrifices that many...

Remember the craziness of the beginning of the Trump Administration? (That is still going on today!?) Like Donald heaping all those important political functionings onto his son-in-law, one Jared Kushner.   And don't you love the number of that most expensive building ever sold in America: 666 Fifth Avenue!?  'Ask Jared' tonight's Trump Poem Podcast #51.

It is time to stand up! Object to Senate 'Unanimous Consent' that accelerates Senate proceedings!!! Filibuster!!! One Senator saying 'I Object' obliterates the unanimous consent and forces the Senate to proceed much more slowly through its business, if it can proceed at all. - with frequent 'I Objects' being expressed by patriotic Senators! We must use the tools we were given 'to protect the minor...

Science has been taking a hit ever since Donald Trump became President. He taboo'ed 7 words that the CDC could not use henceforth,* in the early days of his administration. He wants that magic vaccine for Covid-19 to be blessed by science before Election Day, November 3rd. But that will not happen. Especially with the news today that Johnson & Johnson is suspending their vaccine adventure due...
