This has been taking shape for a while now. The either-or threat is coming soon enough. The wrong president is in place to contend with this. Otherwise, the president would be demanding Musk stop. Instead, the president is in support of Musk. Just waiting . . . Where is Congress and the Supreme Court? How […]
Many moderate and liberal Democrats believe the party should sideline progressive advocacy groups. The groups sometimes make extreme and unpopular demands that damage the Democrats’ brand and prevent needed compromise. It appears to me that some critics would be happy kicking the groups to the curb. I largely agree with the diagnosis (see here, for […]
I would expect no less . . . The Swiss city of Geneva is planning to pay CHF10 million (One CHF (Swiss Franc) = $1.11 US Dollar) of NGO worker wages following the United States decision to freeze humanitarian aid for 90 days. I guess the Swiss are telling the US to pound sand. I […]
A piece I believe capsulizes what many of us are wondering. Where are our politicians, Senators, Representatives, and healthcare people. Why are they so silent as Trump and his keeper Musk slowly disassemble the nation. There are consequences to this. It will not be Trump, Musk, Congress, or doctors and healthcare who will bear the […]
I used to believe Republicans would join with Democrats if there was an threat to the United States. The first clue I had of this not being true was watching Josh Hawley give a fist up to the protestors who turned into rioters attacking Capital police and breaking into the building. I am with you […]
I have not seen where the Senate has confirmed RFK (in name only) yet. Maybe it is happening as I type this commentary? A few thoughts come to pass as I read certain articles. There always seem to be a few amongst the Democrats who will shoot the party and themselves in their respective feet […]
Ninety-one year old Senator Chuck Grassley is prompting Kash Patel to restore his version of the public’s trust in the FBI. I kind of wonder what trust of which he speaks. I think we already know he is referring to Republicans. It is hard to know what the public believes as they do not know […]
The least trustworthy name in news, buried in the 13th graf: Democratic lawmakers have argued it would be illegal for Trump to unilaterally eliminate a federal agency without consulting Congress. This is not a question of whether something is blue-green, aqua, or cyan. This is a matter of fact. You might think a news organization […]
From ink-stained wretches to eye candy and not much else. From Mr. Dooley’s, “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable” to tell them what they want to hear as long as it doesn’t afflict the comfortable. Was it the camera? Hey, media, threatening to annex Greenland isn’t a negotiating tactic; it is straight out of […]
When is it okay to “heighten the contradictions”, to allow bad things to happen for the sake of instigating political change? I’ve been noodling on this problem for decades without making much progress, and Trump’s victory has forced me to dig in once again. This is my current thinking, for what it’s worth. Democrats have […]
