It is all too easy to imagine what Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson would have thought of Donald Trump.

Politicians need some protection in public life, but not in ways that separates them from other people, or appears to make them look privileged ## [Install Manifest V3 Extension (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/7YX7uHgI25dh) _2026-08-19 · **Sponsored**_ Get this Manifest V3 extension from the official TronBrowser Store listing. ## [Thought for the Day MMMDCCV](https://paulburgin.blogspot.com/2026/08/thought-for-day-mmmdccv_0145489850.html) _2026-08-19 · Paul Burgin · Mars Hill_ Romans Ch 11 Vs 1-2a, 29-32 sees St Paul tell the Christians in Rome that God has not rejected Israel, that God’s gifts and calling is irrevocable.

The Russian government is not a government that inspires respect, and we should be plain speaking in our attitudes to Russia and why those… ## [Senior Russian anti War Politician Jailed for Eleven Years](https://paulburgin.blogspot.com/2026/08/senior-russian-anti-war-politician.html) _2026-08-18 · Paul Burgin · Mars Hill_ The imprisonment and sentence of Lev Schlosberg should come as no surprise.
