Trump and the historic embrace of novel legal theories
Whatever your opinion on the man himself, there is a fundamental question of fairness when you consider that he is facing hundreds of years in prison, based mostly on novel interpretations of statutes that even his opponents admit have never been used in this way before.

Welcome to the peak of our gender delusions
An activist and a doctor appear before Congress. One insists that female tennis players are “stronger” than men. The other claims she can’t comment because she’s not a sports medicine physician.

DeSantis supporters sure are getting desperate while Biden himself gets older and even more tired
President Biden officially entered the race with a broadside against his opposition which if the polls are any indication is likely to be former President Trump, setting up a rematch of the oldest in history.

The government and the media want a license to lie with impunity
Classified documents reveal the reality of the war in Ukraine to be far different from how it’s described by the administration and the media. New reporting suggests Ukrainian officials are stealing hundreds of millions of dollars and purchasing fuel from their enemy. The government and the media ignore all this, however, and focus exclusively on… Continue reading The government and the media want a license to lie with impunity
Iraq: Anyone who doesn’t regret supporting the war is delusional, stupid, or lying
The Iraq War was by any definition a failure at all its stated goals, costing far more in blood, treasure, and time than expected, empowering our enemies, and failing to build a stable democracy and long term ally in a worn torn region, but there are some who still insist we should do it all… Continue reading Iraq: Anyone who doesn’t regret supporting the war is delusional, stupid, or lying
