Donald Trump ran for the presidency promising to “Drain the Swamp.” We the People liked the pledge. So we elected him. President Trump has acknowledged that the Swamp is much deeper – and its Creatures much nastier – than he anticipated. Which is an understandable underestimation. I was born and raised in a proximate Swamp […]
Democrat Presidential candidate Joe Biden’s campaign has raised a TON of money. Which has allowed him to continue to hide his dementia in his basement – and wallpaper the world with advertisements. One of the excruciatingly many ads Biden is running – is a dishonest defense of the exceedingly awful Obamacare law in which he […]
Monstrous Big Tech company Google (Market Cap: $1 trillion) does a whole lot of throwing its monster weight around – to the detriment of just about everyone else. Likely the stupidest of the many very stupid defenses of monstrous Big Tech companies like Google is: “Well, start your own Google.” Monstrous Big Tech company Microsoft […]
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) – is yet another one of those Executive Branch joints the Legislative Branch set up to be “independent.” Which is, of course, unconstitutional. The Constitution establishes three branches of government – Executive, Legislative and Judicial. You can’t create an “independent” fourth branch – unless and until you amend our founding […]
Google – is a monster. The monster parent company Google created is Alphabet – whose monster Market Cap is $1.03 trillion. Monster Google has made a LOT of its money – and thus acquired its monster size – via monster theft. And, of course, the bigger Google gets – the more power it has to […]
There’s a line – a sentiment, actually – that governments everywhere really need to take to heart. “Don’t just do something – stand there.” Of course they won’t – because they’re governments. But it would be a lot cooler if they did. Why do we want them standing there – rather than doing something? Because […]
The Year of Our Lord 2020 – has been a long stretch of very bad road. Fair is foul – foul is fair. Down is up – up is down. Swine are sprouting pinions and taking to the air. I think often of the cinematic classic “The Lion in Winter”: Henry II: “The day those […]
The Donald Trump Administration inherited a LOT of accrued crap with which to deal. Our federal government was for the last half-century-plus run by a Democrat-Republican Uni-Party. Both alleged Parties spent decades paying lip service to great chasms of difference between their respective policy prescriptions. But both alleged Parties secretly agreed on just about everything. […]
It’s a perpetual case of Chico Marx’s famous line: “Who ya gonna believe – me or your own eyes?” The World Wide Web will quickly deliver you all sorts of ridiculous excuses from people engaged in criminal activity. I Closed One Eye to Stop Seeing Double So I Could Drive Drunk I’m Not Drunk, But […]
In this Age of Idiocy, let us revel in a moment of sanity. Unanimously delivered to us by – are you sitting down? – the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Appeals Court Throws Out Antitrust Ruling In the world of judges and Justices – this is exceedingly embarrassing: “A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court […]
