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 Lawyer & FOX News: Trump’s Actions ‘Ill-Advised’ and ‘Insane’

So why does he keep ratcheting up the misconduct? — Well, that’s the question, isn’t it? Trump seems to relish and revel in finding ways to outdo himself on the evil and criminal conduct scale. It’s not so much a question of whether he’s doing it, it’s been pretty open and notorious for a few years, and he doesn’t seem…

Donald J. Trump: First Among His Betters?

Not first among equals — You may have heard the term “first among equals.” For instance, orthodox Catholicism for a time considered Peter and his successors (i.e, the popes) Primus inter pares, or first among equals. And for a time, the Roman “consul” was viewed in the same way until the nonsense about the divinity…

Ready to Go Full ‘Fash’?

Quite a few people are. Let’s talk about that. — I’ll admit that when I saw this term in an article back in February in Politico, I was a little confused. I’d heard the slang term before, but in a context rather different than in that article. I finally got around to following up, though, and thought I’d do a…

When Big Things Fail

Whodunnit Part One: Banks — I believe that just about any large failure typically has multiple contributing factors — that pointing the finger at one event, or one person, is usually short-sighted and just plain not good enough. Take any large failure you can think of. …

Has Donald Trump ‘DQ’d’ Himself from the Presidency?

No, not Dairy Queened, disqualified. He may need some “aid or comfort” because of a simple federal statute. — Here’s something Donald Trump felt compelled to blast out on his social media platform called Truth Social, following Tucker Carlson’s recent shameless and shameful attempt to rewrite Jan 6th through videos provided by his pal Kev McCarthy:

Former Trump Lawyer Shows Real Meaning of ‘MAGA’

Jenna Ellis, former Trump lawyer and mouthpiece, admits false statements and saves her law license — I’ve heard some interesting suggestions on the meaning of the acronym “MAGA.” One of my prior favorites is Make Attorneys Get Attorneys. But some new reporting about former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis prompted my new favorite, which I made up — Make Attorneys Grovel Aloud. What do you think about…

My View of Why Mike Pence Is Fighting a Grand Jury Subpoena

It’s both simple and complex, simultaneously — I’ve already weighed in on why former Vice President Mike Pence’s challenge to a grand jury subpoena (for testimony and documents) based on the Speech and Debate Clause of the Constitution will fail. My read on that has been echoed by legal scholars more qualified than I, and so I…

Federal Grand Jury to Mike Pence: Be There, Will Be Wild

He can wriggle and whine all he wants — it will do nothing more than delay the inevitable — Some were shocked (shocked, I say) to learn that former Vice President Mike Pence had received a grand jury subpoena for testimony and documents courtesy of Special Counsel Jack Smith. I was neither shocked nor surprised, as I’d been expecting such news for some time — and was starting to…

Yet More Proof That Trump & Cronies Knew He Lost In 2020

Brand new reporting of an internal research report adds to the evidence — I just read a short MSN summary that adds to the chronology of events I’d given in a late January article, and I need to let you know about it. This new development makes it that much harder for Trump’s likely “I truly believed I won the election” bull**it to…
