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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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?!!!”

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…

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…
