Memo to God: Three Things I Want, Just for Me

Just recently, a friend asked me an interesting question, and it really got me thinking. He asked me about the things I most wanted to be able to do with my time left here. For some background, we had already talked about what we were hoping for as a result…

Trump Swore to Preserve, Protect, and Defend the Constitution

But not to support it? — Have you been following the weekly (and sometimes daily) developments in the many ongoing legal cases involving Donald Trump and Trump World? If you have and are bewildered — or if you have not because you don’t wish to become bewildered — you can perhaps be forgiven. Things have been…

What Happened the Last Time the MAGA-GOP Had ‘Lots of Theories but No Evidence’?

Hint: it wasn’t good — Yes, the last time the MAGA (bowel?) movement had plenty of theories, but no evidence, things didn’t turn out too well for them or for America. Perhaps you remember, and I don’t have to talk much about it? Well, just quickly: Trump lost the 2020 election (dragging down some other…

Learning From Our Canadian Neighbors

A Speaker of the House shows real integrity — Just recently our neighbors to the north showed us here in America something rarely seen — a politician who can admit error, accept responsibility for it, and act with integrity and honor. Follow the story and then feel free to cite me at least one example of similar conduct by…

Trump: Good Golly Miss Molly!

Molly Michael, ‘Trump Employee №2’ in the Mar-a-Lago case, recalls Trump’s attempted use of The Force — In only my second article on Medium, way back in October 2020, I published a tongue-in-cheek piece suggesting that Donald Trump was the real Last Jedi. I was poking fun at his hand gestures and how he somehow got people to believe total B.S., likening it to a scene from…

Ready for the Good News?

Trump will not run for a third term as president if he wins in 2024! He said so, himself. — I know what you’re thinking: a constitutional scholar of Trump’s standing (😂) certainly knows all about the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and that anyone having served two terms as president is … what’s the word? Oh, yeah — done. And such a constitutional scholar as Trump certainly referred…

September, Budget Talks, and Unaware Senators

On the doorstep of fall, GOP leaves seem to be falling and piling up — I was just updating my calendar for the month of September and catching up on some reading about the ever-fascinating foibles and fumbles of some members of the House and Senate. First, and I know that certain segments of our 2023 America will consider it evil and “woke” (and will…

Executing on the 14th Amendment’s Disqualification Provision

So it begins, and not a moment too soon — There’s been lots of buzz lately about Section 3 of the 14th Amendment and its potentially disqualifying effect on folks like Donald Trump and certain others. I’ve written about it several times myself here on Medium, and you’ve perhaps seen reference to the lengthy analysis by professors Baude and Paulsen…

Donald ‘Da Boss’ Trump Bumps Into RICO in Georgia: 161 Acts

No, not Rico Suave; and no, not the biblical Acts (only has 28 chapters) — But one might say that Trump’s meeting with RICO, Count 1 of a brand-new indictment courtesy of a grand jury and Fulton County DA Fani Willis, is almost biblical in scope. Let’s see. There are the 161 separate acts which were in furtherance of the RICO count and/or the conspiracy. …

Enabled, Emboldened, Entitled

Especially for former presidents under indictment and a protective order, this is dangerous and destructive — This will be short. Purposeful testing of boundaries, guardrails, and the resolve or mettle of authorities. That’s what Donald Trump is all about. Sadly, many of his supporters take their cues from him, so it’s a metastasis in action kind of thing. Trump hasn’t been slapped down well enough so…
