It’s Really Up To Corporate America Now To Make Sure The US Government Doesn’t Default

And we’d better hope the nation’s CEOs are working the phones tirelessly right now — Because some politicians really do seem to be big enough idiots that they’re willing to let America crash and burn based on supposedly sacred “principles” they don’t ever follow when they’re in power. But never mind that for now. First, let’s make it crystal clear why a default would be…

Something That Bears Repeating In Light Of Supreme Court’s EPA Ruling

Not all regulation is over-regulation — The Supreme Court’s ruling limiting the power of the Environmental Protection Agency (and by that ruling, other agencies too), probably would’ve happened anyway. By that I mean even before the current makeup of the court. When Justices Kennedy and Scalia are still there. Or even minus the “stolen seat”. Which…

Two Things I Don’t Get From The January 6th Committee

Or at least that I’m surprised aren’t getting more notice — 1) According to the testimony of former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, when then-President Trump angrily demanded metal detectors be shut down at his January 6th DC rally so people could swarm in — even though law enforcement already had confirmed visual and physical evidence that many people were armed…

Coach Is Coach Is Coach

Have the Justices of the Supreme Court never played any type of organized school sport? — If you weren’t absolutely convinced the Supreme Court is just pretty nakedly right now approaching rulings from the perspective of Christian fundamentalist zealotry, Monday’s ruling involving a public school football coach should leave no doubt. The coach claimed he was fired because he wanted to do private, silent prayer. That…

The Supreme Court Just Did An Excellent Job Defunding The Police

Roe and handgun ruling do a better job of that than any progressive politician ever could’ve. Here’s why: — Whatever you think about the court’s twin decisions on abortion and gun carry, one thing’s clear: both those decisions will put huge, new burdens on police departments, which can only lead to one of two outcomes: Minor offenses (including many drug offenses) will not be investigated and/or prosecuted as aggressively…

Stop Saying Supreme Court Made Roe Decision Based On Politics, Not Law

When it’s neither… — I’m getting sick and tired of mainstream media — if they’re trying to be bold at all, characterizing the decision overturning Roe v. Wade as based in things “political”, not “legal”, however beautifully written their explanations may be — because it’s not political at all. It’s a decision steeped in…

Trump Supported Candidates Losing In Primaries Means Nothing

Yet again, most of mainstream media is getting this wrong — Let’s use Georgia as an example: where both the Governor, who Trump hates because he refused not to certify the election there, and the Secretary of State, who refused, at Trump’s recorded request, to “find” the number of votes that would’ve made Trump a winner there, both won their primaries…

Maybe Stop Sharing So Much…

Do the people who constantly share incendiary comments they don’t agree with really not know what they’re doing? — Someone writes something that is meant only for the purpose of being shared; keeping their name out there by continually being “crazy” and “shocking.” Then a zillion people share/Retweet, aghast: “how dare that person (Congressperson/tech mogul/ex-President, mostly) say that?!!!” “What’s wrong with that person?!!!”

What’s The Point Of Having A Job If You Can’t Buy Anything?

At least not at a reasonable price — The little coffee shop near me I tend to ride my bike to 2–3 days a week just raised its prices about 40%. Since I’ve always had them fill up my own hot cup I bring along with me, I now just show up with my own coffee that I…

A Short, But True Story About Colin Powell

And why he will be particularly missed by me — Years ago, at the White House Correspondents Dinner, I was waiting for an elevator down to the ballroom. Colin Powell and his wife Alma walk up, along with a security detail. An elevator opens up. The security guys jump on to check it out. Assuming he’s also going to the…
