<p>Trump and his people want to deregulate everything, except for women's lives. Bump stocks, yes. Choice no. Religion in public schools, yes. School books about race or climate change, no. </p><p>It makes sense that mob bosses and white collar criminals want to eliminate the FBI and the IRS. Why does the average American fall for the Trump, Project 2025 agenda? Because they will be convinced it's about guns and protecting their children from “the gay-trans agenda.” The rich will get richer, when will the rest of us get the picture?</p>

<p>You can't call it trolling when you come as big as Robert DeNiro did in front of the New York courthouse where a jury deliberates Donald Trump's fate. He came so big, the Yank is calling it "Going Godzilla." </p><p>On the theme of naming things, you call it "The Hush Money, Porn Star Case," but the case properly known as "The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump," is the only Trump case not stalled right now. </p><p>Global Warming is sending our wineries North. The Kraut declares German Gewurztraminer worth a sip, finally. The Yank can't say it no matter how hard he tries. Gervertzermeener anyone? How about a Gewurtz? Moderately chilled, not on ice, you gauche American!</p><p>Can we take a broad enough view of history, and of the future at the same time, to prevent a civil war. Kurt Vonnegut calls on us to think big in the fourth dimension (The novel <em>Slaughterhouse Five</em>). The Yank and Kraut are also recommending the film, an oldie, <em>The Boys From Brazil</em>. Would you kill a baby Hitler?</p>

<p>Can the film <em>Civil War</em> by Alex Garland, starring Kirsten Dunst, tell us anything new about the United States, or is it just a zombie movie without the zombies? Or is it <em>A Star is Born</em> without the songs? We are living a cold civil war in real time. Can the film help us prevent a hot one at home? </p><p>The Trump trials are trying the patience of judges and Americans. VP hopefuls show up in court. Are they standing in for the missing wife?</p><p>The Yank and Kraut respond. </p>
