Graham Platner: Material Boy
I wonder if Graham Platner (DSA-Maine) is a Madonna fan. I only ask because he seems like a real material boy; someone with a lust for life’s finer things – especially those that belong to other people.

Dr. Fauci Looks Like a Great Autopen Test Case
Near the end of Joe Biden’s incompetence, corruption, and dementia extravaganza, thousands of pardons were issued – many for unstated crimes. Most weren’t done with a pen in a human hand, as our founders intended. They were done with an autopen – a machine that can emulate a human signature.
The DoJ Implements the “Broken Window” Strategy
As silly as James Comey’s sea shell picture was, it was an implied threat against a President – which is against the law. That it was done in conjunction with other offenses gives it a special significance – a recent act of an ongoing conspiracy.
Best Father’s Day Gift Ever
I didn’t receive either of my two best Father’s Day gifts on Father’s Day. I got the first one on May 26, 1985 when my son was born. The second was the new daughter I received on January 19, 2024.
Snark Alert: When an Assault Weapon Isn’t an Assault Weapon
The anti-2nd Amendment left insists that all assault weapons be banned from private use. Their logic is that as instruments of war, their only valid use is in the hands of government employees to surrender to Afghan savages, or suppress civil resistance (per Joe Biden). Of course they’ll make an exception for Karmelo Anthony.
Will the 21st Century Be the Era of Reality?
In Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, John Galt repeatedly says “A” is “A.” It is his simple way of saying reality is factual – it is not subject to interpretation, context, or lived experience. Facts and the laws of nature are inviolate, and they are beginning to intrude on the propaganda of the left.
Is the Constitution a Suicide Pact?
Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, in his dissent to 1949 Terminiello v. Chicago decision wrote: “The Constitution is not a suicide pact.” Maybe yes, and maybe no. It will depend on how the Supreme Court interprets the 14th Amendment to decide the Trump v. Barbara case.
DEI Went Wrong with Its First Step
The New York Times recently sponsored a panel discussion : “Did D.E.I Go Too Far?” From the panel’s discussion, it’s apparent that the “experts” remain as clueless about DEI’s downfall, as they were about its potential.
KBJ: The DEI Gift That Keeps on Giving
President Asterisk didn’t appoint Ketanji Brown Jackson (KBJ) to the Supreme Court for her intellectual prowess, legal acumen, or incisive jurisprudence. He appointed her for the sole reason that she is a black woman. He even said so … with pride. Well, Justice Jackson has become a testament to DEI – just not in the …
What If Nullification Was Constitutional?
Sir Isaac Newton’s 3rd law applies every bit as much to politics as it does to physics. “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” As applied to our republic, when the federal government stops behaving as intended, so do we.
Stupid Is as Senator Kelly Does
32 years ago, the guru Forrest Gump told us how to identify idiots: A deficit of intelligence in a person may be verified by the asininity of their actions. Forrest shortened that for laymen to: “Stupid is as stupid does.”
Tyranny Resides at Each End of the Political Spectrum
Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandei argued that our various states are laboratories of self-governance – each testing social and economic policies to see what works and what doesn’t. This year we find ourselves in a unique position, two experiments are underway, on opposite coasts, testing opposite extremes of the political spectrum.
Voting Isn’t Working
The title of this piece is a bold statement, and the SAVE act is proof that it’s true.
The Empire Is Going to Strike Back
The MAGA movement is celebrating like Donald Trump destroyed the Death Star. But we need to remember that year-one, was only the first battle in an extended war, because our enemies within, have not been crushed.
The Dems Are Flirting with Unintended Consequences
The Democrats are the Wile E. Coyote’s of politics. They’ve stopped even trying to win elections, and instead keep going to their Acme catalog of dirty tricks, looking for hair-brained schemes to win elections without actually winning votes.
Armed Zealots Disconnected from Reality Are Dangerous
If the Iranians are “misreading the room,” how dangerous would it be for a nuclear Iran to “misread the world”? Could such a misunderstanding eventually lead to a nuclear exchange?
It’s Always the Money That Gets Them – Even Democrats
The Democrat party is a political organization in the same sense that Tony Soprano was a garbage collector. In both cases, their organizations are or were merely tools to fleece the public.
Eric Swalwell – The Next Useful Idiot Sacrifice
I find it hysterical that an avowed collectivist such as Eric Swalwell, didn’t understand how collectivism works. Perhaps that’s another illustration of his limited mental acuity.
The Death Spiral of the Mainstream News
We are far from the day when the most trusted man in media, Walter Cronkite told us, “That’s the way it is,” and we believed him.
I’m In My Annual Tax Filing Funk
Spring has sprung, the showers have begun, and my attitude is glum. It’s tax time. I’ve procrastinated for over three months, but April 15 is approaching, and I’m in a foul mood.
