Well, that didn’t last long. Just a couple of days ago, gullible me was believing that Federalist Society types like U.S. Supreme Court Justices John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett were capable of more than just parroting whatever riff His Orangeness was demanding. Well, that was so 72 hours ago. Yesterday, the Supremes handed down…

The tragedy of war—one of them, at least: We have to hope that Trump and Netanyahu are “lucky”.
Let’s hope they didn’t start us down the road to World War III! Yes, we hapless Americans have to hope that our dictator in chief, in waging unconstitutional, illegal, immoral, unjustified war against Iran will not touch off a train of events similar to all the other “once and for all” Middle Eastern invasions engineered…
Can the Federalist Society Grow a Spine? I sure hope so! Let’s make it a good one!
Is Alan Vanneman a fan of the Federalist Society? Well, not so much. Take a gander a recent post, How the Federalist Society Destroyed the U. S. Constitution, for example. Still, I am always happy to welcome a repentant sinner, as long as they’re truly repentant, and I also believe that it is quite possible…
Yo Democratic mayors and governors! If you don’t put a stop to this, Donald Trump will do it for you!
If Gavin Newsom is the best the Democrats can do, Donald Trump is going to win in a walk, not to mention a golf cart. This photograph was appeared in an article in Newsweek, LA riots: How Mexican flag photos are a gift to Donald Trump by Dan Gooding, the photo (accompanied by another one…
Yo Andrew Sullivan! Ross Douthat is NOT “the best columnist in the country”.
Recently, Andew Sullivan did an interview at his substack blog The Weekly Dish with New York Times columnist Ross Douthat, praising Ross in the manner objected to above. One can wonder, a lot, if Andy’s words were nothing more than excessively good manners, in light of the most recent columns turned in by the two….
Beware of the Doge: Elon Musk’s excellent adventure was an exercise in waste, fraud, and abuse. And lies.
Well, Elon is gone, but the lies still linger. Big bad Elon was going to cut spending by $2 trillion, remember? Actually, for a brief, shining moment, the Musk Man was talking some sense about government spending, suggesting, for example, that, since were’ livin’ in the age of drones, we call a halt to the…
The murders of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim are tragic and tragically depressing
“The world is too much with us”, said poet William Wordsworth. Well, it is certainly too much with me. The world—at least, my world, has been on a downward spiral since 2001, each disaster leading to its own compounding in a never-ending cycle of alternating cruelty and stupidity. The wanton murder of two innocent young…
Does the New York Times LIKE making me unhappy? It sure seems that way! The Times tells us they HATE “disinformation”! So why do they insist on running so much of it?
A question to be asked. Last Sunday’s New York Times included a “Guest Essay” by Casey Michel, author of Foreign Agents: How American Lobbyists and Lawmakers Threaten Democracy Around the World, headlined Trump Isn’t the First Politician to Sell the Office, whose literal meaning is “Donald Trump isn’t first politician to be corrupt”. Well, yeah!…
Is Bari Weiss, Inc. aka “The Free Press” a TOTAL sh*tshow? I say “not all the time, guys!” In fact, sometimes, it’s downright girly!
In a recent issue of Andrew Sullivan’s The Weekly Dish, in the “Money Quotes of the Week” section, Andy gave us the following tweet from Harvard linguist and frequent talking head Steven Pinker, along with a one word expression of assent: “Sad to agree with Cathy Young and Matt Johnson the Free Press (for which…
Pickin’ on poor old Joe Joe Biden did a bad job as president. A very bad job. But not THAT bad. I mean, not entirely bad.
It’s become the fashion, to put it mildly, among the thoughtful folk, to take out our frustrations with Donald II on poor old Joe Biden, and who can blame them? Joe did a terrible job on many big issues, most notably immigration and inflation, which alone were probably enough to sink the Democrats’ chances in…
