Dances with Soviets May 24, 2017
The president was boasting of the “great intel” he receives when he discussed intelligence provided by a U.S. partner.

Salon and the Political Ad Hominem May 23, 2017
Salon and the Political Ad Hominem Sure, Mike Rogers and Trey Gowdy are low-grade partisan hacks. But John Cornyn stands out for sheer shamelessness Source: Who will be the next FBI director? Trump has many bad choices, but Sen. John Cornyn stands out as the worst – Salon.com I’m (almost) nobody’s idea of a liberal,* but I recognize that no political ethos h […]
This is No Longer about Trump, or Congress May 22, 2017
This is No Longer about Trump, or Congress I believe that many of them are deeply conflicted. That in the leather chairs of Capitol Hill at the end of each of these long Spring days, there is no shortage of Republican legislators sitting alone in their offices or committee rooms, drinking scotch, and cogitating on their futures. I suspect that there may be a […]
The (Bad) Liar in the White House May 15, 2017
The (Bad) Liar in the White HouseMaybe the White House is telling the truth here, but I don’t believe it. How can anybody believe it?The thing to keep in mind is that this Dumpster fire is entirely of Trump’s own making. Maybe Comey deserved to be fired. If so, you don’t fire him in the middle of this Russia investigation, you don’t fire him in a dirty way g […]

Tory, Tory Hallelujah January 31, 2017
In the wake of one of the most outspoken political campaigns in American history, the most inspiring political address that I have heard in a decade did not come from an American leader, but an English one. Not everyone will agree with all of what British Prime Minister Theresa May says. Yet even her opponents must concede that hers…View On WordPress

“If something needs fixing, then lace up your shoes and do some organizing,” the President implored. “If you’re disappointed by your elected officials, grab a clip board, get some signatures, and run for office yourself.” Source: ‘Lace Up Your Shoes and Organize’: Watch Obama’s Push For Participation in Politics | TIME I have and retain severe differences wi […]

Clean-up time January 2, 2017
Not saying goodbye. Oh, well. I’m not a Democrat, but from my vantage point about a biscuit to the right of the American centerline, it seems that DNC could use a Frank Slade flamethrower. Something akin to what Bill Clinton did in November and December of 1992. With the support of a group of Democrats who recognized that the New Deal Democratic Party was of […]

Obama Fails to Fight Putin’s Propaganda Machine: The disestablishment of USIA under President Bill Clinton, reducing its vital information mission to a mere appendage of the State Department, must be regarded as a bureaucratic error of the first order.
