Dateline: April 25, 2021 Minneapolis Let’s make one thing clear right at the top. Convicted murderer Derek Chauvin is a dirtbag. The judge is sure to max him out at sentencing. Given his age and what’s about to hit him, Chauvin should die in prison. Good riddance. But, criminal trials are about more than guilt or innocence. They are also about the fairness of the process. For example, because juries are susceptible to outside influences, our justice system has safeguardsRead more…
Dateline: April 3, 2021 The Swamp Most everybody knows that a trojan horse hides something bad inside its innocent-looking exterior. As history records, a huge wooden horse was used by the Greeks to enter the City of Troy and defeat their enemies. Today, a lot of people believe that the Biden administration is a trojan horse for the left wing of the Democrat Party. Actually, Biden himself is a trojan horse, the Trudgin’ Trojan, as he stumbles down a shortRead more…
Dateline: March 4, 2021 The Swamp As has been widely reported, yesterday the video feed of Biden’s remarks to the House Democratic Caucus was cut when he volunteered to take questions. The implication of the pulled plug is that the White House wants to silence the Prez who isn’t up to extemporaneous chatter. Even more telling than seeing the video cut is the full context of the episode in the 55 seconds before the axe fell. One of the fewRead more…
Dateline: January 14, 2021 The Swamp After spending no time at all investigating the basis for a second impeachment, the Dems, and a few GOPer’s, impeached Trump yet again. The charge is inciting an insurrection in remarks he made during the January 6 rally at the Capitol. However, according to constitutional scholars, there is no justification for the claim that Trump’s words at the rally constituted ‘incitement’. But, then, the constitution is not the motivator for the impeachment. It’s spiteRead more…
Dateline: December 16, 2020 The Swamp The other day, the Electoral College affirmed Joe Biden’s ascension to the Presidency of the United States. What a sorry roadmap to success this trip to the top has followed. Biden first hit the national political scene in 1973 as a U.S. Senator from Delaware. By most accounts, mediocre describes the absolute pinnacle of his achievements as Senator and later VP. Most of his deeds fell far below that lofty benchmark. Of course, ifRead more…
Dateline: SickAndTiredVille. Mark your calendars. This is the week when decency, on life support for a while now, finally died in the US House of Representatives. I don’t mean the resolution against President Trump. That kind of stuff is poisoned politics, an empty gesture that, unfortunately, has become SOP. It doesn’t get much attention from those with IQs above the double-digit horizon. I mean the lack of meaningful response by Congress to the virulent anti-Semitic harangues of Ilhan Omar. The CongresswomanRead more…
