I joined the military at 18. I was not particularly good at taking orders, and I discovered doing things my own way was not tolerated. The military is not accommodating to individual preferences, certainly not to teenagers like me who think they know more than they actually do. I never received a good conduct medal,Continue reading “What is an Illegal Order?”

Revealing What We Already Knew
President Joe Biden’s doctor testified to Congress on July 9. He refused to tell anything, asserting his Fifth Amendment privileges before being sworn in, before any substantive questions: https://apnews.com/article/biden-doctor-kevin-oconnor-testimony-5c2a75c6bec319bb4ff8a417993e3d6c David Schertler, one of O’Connor’s lawyers, said the doctor had “no choice” but to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights in testimony before the committee. Schertler citedContinue reading “Revealing What We Already Knew”
Injunction Junction: What’s Your Function?
The Supreme Court established the principle of judicial review more than 200 years ago (via Marbury vs. Madison, 1803). This previously undiscovered principle expanded the power of the Judicial Branch dramatically, arguably beyond what was originally intended. The Supreme Court retained this power thereafter. Then about sixty years ago, the judiciary’s power expanded further asContinue reading “Injunction Junction: What’s Your Function?”
Judges Gone Wild
Roughly 4,000 illegal immigrants have been deported weekly during the second Trump Administration. The vast majority of deportations have been non-controversial; however, a DC District Court judge started a controversy by attempting to turn around a flight of illegal immigrants associated with a Venezuelan criminal gang being deported by the administration. timeline-us-flight-to-el-salvador 5:45PM: A flight (GlobalXContinue reading “Judges Gone Wild”
Where is the Corruption?
My last post lamented our nation’s four year trial with a cognitively diminished Joe Biden in the White House corruption-is-the-problem. Why did America tolerate someone in Biden’s state leading the country? Why did so many politicians and media brazenly lie to us about his condition–as if we were too stupid to comprehend the truth? WhyContinue reading “Where is the Corruption?”
Corruption is the Problem
CNN journalist Jake Tapper’s new book, “Original Sin” is sub-titled: “President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.” He, his family, and his senior aides were so convinced that only he could beat Trump again, they lied to themselves, allies, and the public about his condition and limitations. At his debateContinue reading “Corruption is the Problem”
Golden Hammer or Constitutional Crisis (An Insider’s View)?
President Trump has moved with alacrity to eliminate inefficiencies and corruption in government. Even before Inauguration Day, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was being staffed so they could start cutting day one. dogegov.com: Our mission is to decentralize the narrative around government spending, giving power back to the people to hold government entities accountableContinue reading “Golden Hammer or Constitutional Crisis (An Insider’s View)?”
Election Problems Still?
The period between Election Day 2024 and Inauguration Day two-and-a-half months later was remarkably calm and uneventful. On January 6, 2025, no states were contested in Congress. This was the first time since 1988 (when President George H.W. Bush defeated Governor Michael Dukakis) that Democrats failed to contest a Republican presidential victory. Most Americans seemContinue reading “Election Problems Still?”
A Tale of Two Pardons
On December 1, President Biden pardoned his son Hunter for offenses already committed and for crimes not yet specified. On January 20, he pardoned five other family members–also for unspecified crimes. Biden said they did nothing wrong. Biden issued pardons for his brothers James Biden and Francis Biden, sister Valerie Biden Owens, sister-in-law Sara JonesContinue reading “A Tale of Two Pardons”
Facebook Rewrites the Rules (Again)
On January 7, Mark Zuckerburg, Facebook CEO, made a dramatic policy change:”it’s time to get back to our roots around free expression on Facebook and Instagram.” Facebook has been on the forefront of social media censorship as this practice has blossomed recently. Why does Mr. Zuckerburg claim this moment for change? Mr. Zuckerburg says heContinue reading “Facebook Rewrites the Rules (Again)”
