Young people may not get the meme here. In any case, it’s about belief in a conman to one’s great detriment. Cult leader Jim Jones died with his followers in 1978. By contrast, Trump supporters won’t die because of their …

The Dallas Morning News: Beto O’Rourke Calls for a United Texas To Oust Governor Greg Abbott
Here’s a good reason why neither you nor I could make it in politics: Neither of us would have the chutzpa to call for a “united Texas” in the year 2022. There is nothing about Texas that is remotely unitable. …

Devolution of the Republican Party
Clever. In all fairness, the GOP in Lincoln’s and T. Roosevelt’s time was the mirror image of what it came to be in the 1930s. Setting that aside, the devolution that we’ve seen since Eisenhower has been as remarkable as …

Is anyone surprised that Trump tampered with a J6 witness? He’s going down hard on far more serious charges, and he’s desperate. What can we expect? It’s amazing that he’s still in the United States. It could be just a …

Did the Supreme Court Justices Lie Under Oath?
I’d love to say otherwise, but I don’t think this is going to work. These are profoundly unethical people, but proving that they committed perjury isn’t possible. Imagine that you wanted to overturn Roe, and someone asked you your beliefs …
