Biden’s vaccine mandate “conspiracy” to defraud the government and the American people

The President mandated vaccines based on false statements, faulty science, outright lies, and flawed legal reasoning only to be rejected by the Supreme Court after untold people lost their jobs, American rights were trampled, and the country thrown into chaos. These days, this should be an indictable offense. On November 4, 2021, President Joe Biden… Continue reading Biden’s vaccine mandate “conspiracy” to defraud the government and the American people

Affirmative action and the end of intersectionality

No, the government cannot compel speech for any reason

Trump take three and why millions still support him

As the polarizing former President announces his third consecutive bid for the White House, it’s worth considering the difference between political theory and practice.  In theory, we shouldn’t be talking about Trump at all.  In practice, he continues to dominate the political stage like no other.

Republicans need to accept the reality of mail in ballots, Democrats should be careful what they wish for, and other lessons from the midterms

FBI raid:  Special masters are made for special circumstances

The Department of Justice created this mess by seizing close to a hundred times more material than they needed including personal items and privileged information they had no right to even look at, much less take.  What are we supposed to do from here, let the same people who have breached every democratic norm imaginable… Continue reading FBI raid:  Special masters are made for special circumstances

FBI raid: False premises, first principles, and friends like these

A heavily redacted affidavit prompts more questions than answers, but much larger issues are at stake.  Can anyone supersede the President’s classification powers?  What if the information was declassified as Trump says and the entire investigation is based on a false premise?  Why has no one answered that question?  Who’s in charge of Presidential records,… Continue reading FBI raid: False premises, first principles, and friends like these
