Five Failures in the Oval Office (video) America hurt itself badly today.

Here I react to the shameful behavior of American leaders and media toward the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

US Vice President JD Vance berated Europe for its attitude towards democracy. We, who risked our lives in the fight against fascism and communism, do not need admonitions from a man who is working hard to tear down the foundations of American democracy.

I feel deep sadness about what is happening in the United States. Though I've always loved American people, culture, ltheater, film, music, the positive aspects are now overshadowed by the negatives. The best parts of the United States are slipping away.

The historical parallel could not be made clearer – the US is headed for the same disaster as Germany in 1933. The owner of the LA Times, Soon-Shiong (Chemical Pat) demands that the editorial board "take a break from writing about Trump". And all this while Trump threatens the freedom of the press.

Efforts to teach Generation Z about the Holocaust went south pretty fast. Apparently they went to visit the Holocaust memorials in Europe, but they must have misunderstood why it was important to go there.

After nine years of agonizing delay due to deteriorating health, the next novel is soon ready for publication. The film scripts under development will have to wait until it is possible to work in the US again - cold winds are blowing in the film industry. Oh Americans, what have you become?
