Surprise, you don’t own your home or business in New York at least

A homeowner can’t sell their house because a squatter has moved in and is renting the place out on his own. Another couple purchases a house for $2 million, but can’t move in because a caretaker claims to have an agreement with a dead man. Meanwhile, the state plans to seize President Trump’s properties simply… Continue reading Surprise, you don’t own your home or business in New York at least

Bill Clinton and who the radicals really are

President Clinton isn’t quite a Republican by today’s standards, but he’s much closer to one than the current Democrat Party, and if Democrats still held his positions, or anything like them, there would be broad bipartisan support for any number of major reforms that would benefit the entire country. In yet another common refrain, the… Continue reading Bill Clinton and who the radicals really are

The Oscars are an embarrassment for an industry that prides itself on creativity and showmanship

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that a show about movies should offer what you haven’t seen before, leaving you with a little of the magic in your own home, rather than scratching your head wondering what they pay these people so much more money for in the first place. Hollywood is supposed… Continue reading The Oscars are an embarrassment for an industry that prides itself on creativity and showmanship

Biden’s best political move is to preemptively pardon Trump

The average voter understands that democracy requires the ability to support a candidate of their choosing and using “lawfare” as a means to bankrupt or jail a candidate is fundamentally undemocratic. There is, however, a way to square this political circle. It’ll never happen for more reasons than I count, but President Joe Biden’s best… Continue reading Biden’s best political move is to preemptively pardon Trump

Now that it’s almost official, is Trump versus Biden round two really the race that no one wants?

The truth is that every Presidential candidate short of George Washington has their strengths and weaknesses, and in this particular election both of the candidates are older than most would like, but otherwise, the differences between these two disparate men end there. It’s an often repeated refrain:  A rematch between current President Joe Biden and… Continue reading Now that it’s almost official, is Trump versus Biden round two really the race that no one wants?

Trump can’t lose for winning

Following a unanimous ruling in the Supreme Court, we’re in a brave new world of completely backwards reasoning and it will not be long before someone insists we need to cancel the election entirely to save democracy. Under anything resembling normal circumstances, a unanimous decision from the Supreme Court, that is a ruling that has… Continue reading Trump can’t lose for winning

Fairly and unfairly evaluating Trump’s immunity claims

Last week, the reasonable outcome was for the Supreme Court to reject the case entirely.  This week it’s to reject even the narrow question the Court proposed ignoring the obvious importance to the future of the country.  Is it any wonder few pay any attention to the experts any longer? Last Thursday, the Supreme Court… Continue reading Fairly and unfairly evaluating Trump’s immunity claims

Trump and the truth about his supporters

It’s certainly not because we’re brainwashed. It’s because we like what we see after decades of establishment failure and outright lies about immigration, economics, international relations, and American life. It’s yet another common refrain in media circles:  President Trump’s supporters are brainwashed in some fashion, beholden only to what he tells them, and unable to… Continue reading Trump and the truth about his supporters

Oppenheimer and the FBI’s long history of both spying and lying to destroy political dissidents

Oppenheimer broke laws, was not investigated for any crime or formally charged with one, and yet he was subject to every type of surveillance imaginable at the time. The output of this effort ran to thousands of pages and the contents were frequently used to issue false statements as part of coordinated smear campaign implicitly… Continue reading Oppenheimer and the FBI’s long history of both spying and lying to destroy political dissidents

Democrats are planning an insurrection of their own, apparently

Congressional Democrats are actively considering blocking the certification of the election results in the event of a Trump victory, the very same thing they claim makes him and his fellow Republicans insurrectionists, demonstrating once again that Democracy is whatever they say it is at the moment. To hear Democrats and their allies in the mainstream… Continue reading Democrats are planning an insurrection of their own, apparently
