My Manila Times columns for the week of February 24, 2025

THE most significant thing about this week -- apart from getting some important background stuff organized -- was that I was able to determine the direction of my counterattack against the neo-Nazi cabal that has seized power in the US. Student of history that I am, the realization that unless those of us who are not okay with Nazism -- which should be everyone, but some people are too stupid or evil to do the right thing -- strike back fast and with more force than the fascist thugs are applying, we are all going to sleepwalk right into a Fourth Reich and World War III. Thursday's column below (I will break the paywall and publish it in full, after a suitable interval), is my first shot; a ranging shot, so to speak, with the full salvo to follow. 

The illustration seen here, which adorned that column on Thursday, is once again from the talented Steve Pabs. 

Tuesday, February 25, 2025: Incentives should go both ways in new auto program -- This is Part 2 of the column I started on Sunday the 23rd.  

Thursday, February 27, 2025: Comelec supports fascism with Starlink plan -- The Commission on Elections here has made the regrettable decision to contract with Starlink for connectivity in some remote areas of the country ahead of the May 8 midterm polls. They will rue the day, and so will that Nazi piece of shit. 

Sunday, March 2, 2025: Good vibes from the new DOTr chief, but will it last? -- DOTr is the Department of Transportation, and a new secretary was just recently appointed. I hope he can accomplish something, but remain skeptical.
