Tyranny – The Politicus

Minerva @ Midnight: Josh Hawley whines, “Help, I'm being repressed… by Big Tech.”

Because Hawley’s whines about Big Tech while promoting sales of his book on Amazon, the epitome of ….

Hero Police Chief on child, fleeing violence, ordered back alone: Only Nazis follow orders blindly.

Normal, healthy people can all agree that you don’t torture children to punish adults. You don’t rip children from their parents to serve as a deterrent or warning to others. Yet Trump followers aren’t normal. Last year, government officials and random followers told Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo to just shut...

A majority of residents in just one state could pass a citizenship test (hint: not a red state)

The real national emergency is we’re surrounded by fellow citizens who don’t know shit about the United States or its history. And Donald Trump is the predictable denouement of our dumbfuckery. If you don’t really understand the Constitution, separation of powers, the respective roles of the executive and legislative branches, the history...

Even more than impeachment, Democrats need to retake Congress's exclusive War-Making Power

President Trump and the U.S. Constitution (and established norms of governing) have been on a collision course since day one of the Trump presidency, but there is one looming, and overdue, Constitutional conflict that has not been discussed generally and which could serve, surprisingly, as a corrective outcome of the Trump presidency:...

Hillary Clinton is Taking Democrats Backward on Climate Change

When Barack Obama announced his Presidential campaign in Springfield, Illinois he spoke of climate change. Let's be the generation that finally frees America from the tyranny of oil. We can harness homegrown, alternative fuels like ethanol and spur the production of more fuel-efficient cars. We can set up a system...

Libertarian Plagiarist and Credentials Faker presents details of his 2015 plan for governing America

Note how few ideas for managing the Federal government appear in this speech. I think that he's copying Ronald Reagan's stump speech from the 1976 and 1980 primary campaigns, mixed with the old Southern Strategy. Here's the text with annotation on the highlights below the fold: April 7, 2015 Sen....

I got a ride in a Time Machine !! Back to when CIA re-pitched Iran as “Ming the Merciless”

CIA needed a substitute for Naziism and Communism. Wahhabi Islam, al-Qaida are financed out of Saudi/GCC. They wouldn't do. Even later as ISIS and all the lovely Muslim Brotherhood death squads… “Free Syrian Army”… wouldn't do. So of course, what else? Iran became the new monster state. Words from Mahmoud...
