The woman in this video makes an excellent point, which I’ll summarize as follows:

Start by accepting the premise that Trump is a business genius who was an excellent and impeccably honest president and has been unfairly attacked by a corrupt Justice Department.  On top of all this, there is abundant evidence supporting him.

Where are the lawyers?  Why aren’t there top-of-class Harvard Law School graduates from the great law firms in New York and Los Angeles, each billing at thousands of dollars per hour, lined up around the block, desperate for a chance to catapult themselves into fame and fortune by cruising to an easy victory on behalf of the world’s most visible human being?

Actually, right after the 2020 election, Trump was defended by a top firm in New York, but they quit because they wouldn’t take his “stolen election” case to court; which is how Trump wound up with light-weight crackpots Jenna Ellis and Rudy Giuliani, both of whom are facing extensive criminal investigation.

The fact that no one of intelligence and honor wants to get anywhere near Trump should tell you everything you need to know.

Brilliant.

Trump should have been charged with election tampering the same day.

During our trip to Mexico, my wife and I were the victims of one of their infamous police “shake-downs,” where those driving cars with U.S. license plates are pulled over, told they had run a stop sign (or committed some other infraction, when they clearly hadn’t), taken to the station house, and threatened with jail if they didn’t produce a few hundred dollars.

In arguing about the existence of God, people have invoked a great number of different lines of reasoning.

For my money, the idea that morality cannot exist without God and the threat of eternal punishment is perhaps the lamest of them all, for the reason provided in the meme here.

This is funny, but it makes an important point: it’s wrong to throw away things that have value to other people.

When the intensity of my business career vanished about a decade ago, I gave away four suits, and at least 50 ties.  I’d like to believe that somewhere there’s a guy who has a look that says “Craig Shields, 2008.”

Good people support the thrift store economy–on the grounds of both humanitarianism and environmentalism.  Every item enjoying a new life means that a new item doesn’t come into being, with all the resources associated with it.

Here are some useful tips about book covers.

My first two books were #1 Amazon best-sellers in their respective categories, meaning that they both sold a few hundred or perhaps a thousand copies on a certain day.

Needless to say, it never occurred to me to make a big deal about my name on the subsequent covers.

We need to concede the fact that we live among a vast population of hateful morons, and that there is absolutely nothing that can be done to change that.

Ever since it became clear to most Americans and virtually everyone else around the world that Trump was essentially a criminal, I’ve been predicting that people all over the globe will be dancing in the streets once he meets justice.

California is a great place to live and work,  and here’s one of the reasons: most of the industrial development focuses on the betterment of our lives.

Good cartoon here.

Few people believe in hell; this is fortunate because as Bertrand Russell pointed out, speaking of the defects of Christ’s character, no truly compassionate person can believe in eternal punishment.

That notwithstanding, the fortune-teller has nailed Trump’s first two stops.
