Editor,
The world according to Caligula. We have just been treated to our president’s latest world view. The U.N. isn’t living up to its potential. Never mind that he is leading the way in ignoring the existing and well-established international body of laws that would go a long way in actually fulfilling that potential.
Blowing up boats for whatever reason is OK with him. Supporting the murders of people simply trying to get food and water seems acceptable as well. Hey, they are occupying valuable real estate. Changing his mind on the policies toward Ukraine.
Warning that the “double tailed monster” of allowing people you have nothing in common with into your land and, continuing to work toward green energy, will cause your country to fail. Somehow, I think we will see at the U.N. a good number of world representatives make for a more rational appraisal of the world.

100% agreed, Mr. Caggiano. The Felon in the White House has not only dragged our country down into the dirt, but now is a laughingstock on the world stage. And the real child predators are not in the basement of a pizza parlor, they are at the top of our government. But we will now hear about the zillions of trans athletes trying to steal medals from the opposite sex, and the millions of Tren de Aragua criminals picking our vegetables and caring for our children. Cults are very hard things to escape. But there is some progress lately, and I'm hopeful. Have at it, usual suspects, and have a Raskin-tastic day!
OK SMpool - another nothing burger from you. There is no educational value or information in your silly comment. "but now is a laughingstock on the world stage", the only ones who are laughing are the hyenas in Moscow and Gaza, but not for long. Don't take it from me, but no responsible leader in the world is laughing at us but they will make an exception when they read your letter.
No need to fret, SMpool. Treasonous Obama and treasonous Biden are out of office so we’re rising out of their America Last policies and are no longer a laughingstock on the world stage thanks to our (yes, our) great President Trump. Thank you for your attention to this matter and good luck in escaping from the Democrat cult who supports criminals and terrorists over the American people. Trump 2028!
Ah yes, the world according to Caggiano. In this world, Mr. Caggiano will give a pass to Hamas launching a surprise attack to kill over 1200 Israelis and take hostages (some of which they continue to hold today). Self-defense? Mr. Caggiano attempts to shame Israel for doing so. Now Mr. Caggiano is worried that Trump calls out the UN for their impotence in doing anything of value. And now Mr. Caggiano supports terrorists and drug runners to our shores. Sorry, Mr. Caggiano, I’d recommend everyone take a “hard pass” (to honor Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary update) on the world according to Caggiano. Have a Trump-tastic day!
Hey, Mr. Caggiano, why aren’t you giving a pass to Russia for attacking Ukraine? And how about Mr. van Ulden’s brilliant idea – take away their diplomatic immunity? Or if that’s a bridge too far, take away their visa’s and their Visa’s so they don’t continue to suck up our tax dollars to write sharply worded letters. I’ll do my part by donating a case of paper and their toner cartridge of choice. But not from Office Depot where a few employees appear to subscribe to the world according to Caggiano.
OK Mike - "I think we will see at the U.N. a good number of world representatives make for a more rational appraisal of the world", such as? They have not done a darn thing to promote world peace. Talk is cheap. They just suck up our tax dollars and are not even ashamed. We finally have a President who does not shy away from telling these useless bureaucrats the truth. While he is at it, Trump should also take their diplomatic immunity away.
Please, lack of shame is the hallmark of Trump and his administration. Embarrassment of his behavior and representation of America is shared by most Americans.
Funny HFAB - that besides most Americans, many European lauded Trump's comments. Many over there are chomping at the bit to have a leader like we have. Check it out, but don't rely on AP or CNN to tell you otherwise.
Let’s get real with the facts, HFAB. Lack of shame is the hallmark of Democrats and their putting criminals and terrorists over that of the American people, along with violent rhetoric encouraging political assassinations and violence against law enforcement. Embarrassment of their Democrat behavior and America Last policies is shared by all Americans (even those scared to admit it).
Really - you really believe Donny has your back when the chips are down and this country doesn’t have a pot to p&$)( in? You really believe he wouldn’t/couldn’t/ shouldn’t? If you do, what’s that phrase - oh yeah I have some great beach front property to sell you in Arizona!
You are right though about Joe Biden and the Democrats - they really took it to your livelihood, police officers, your aunts and uncles, your goldfish, your watered-down drinks, your frivolous parking ticket, too expensive to pay gardener, your post office worker that delivered the mail 3 days later “than it used to be”, the long line to get into the San Mateo County fair, that speed bump that extends all the way to curb, that lazy dog owner that didn’t pick up after their “foofy” dog? I mean where does personal responsibility start? Maybe the problem with Joe Biden and Democrats starts and ends a little bit closer to home?
Welcome to the discussion, JB, and thanks for expressing your misdirected frustration. To answer a few of your questions, yes, “Donny” has our backs with his America First policies. Much more so than Joey or Baracky with their America Last policies, lawlessness, and treason. And yes, the problem with Joey Biden and Democrats does start and end a little bit closer to home, with voters who continue to vote in Democrats (or allow Democrats to steal elections). As long as these Democrat voters vote in Democrats, they get the government they deserve. Perhaps you can explain why Democrats have become the party of supporting criminals and terrorists over the American people and why Democrats encourage political assassinations and violence against law enforcement. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
