GOP House members are looker dumber than ever — Their guy was keeping national security secrets, for a reason. We don’t know what that reason is but there is no good option. His typical smokescreen of misinformation isn’t working. He claimed Obama took 30 million documents. He didn’t, those Presidential records are managed by the National Archives for Obama’s…

What was he going to do with them? — I can’t fathom what goes on in the minds of Donald Trump and his inner circle. Treason? Greed? Insanity? Just utter stupidity? We are going to learn what is in those papers the FBI seized and the Washington Post reports that they contain nuclear secrets. I need to note here…

Trump’s guilt by omission — Ok, this is a problem with developing stuff. Read the following, knowing Merrick Garland took full credit for the warrant and blasted unfounded Republican craziness, and some nut, a January Sixth guy, attacked an FBI Office in Ohio with a nailgun (what?) and then died hours later in a corn…

The attorney general has made this very clear — Note: this piece was corrected to remove an incorrect assertion that Trump cannot run if convicted. Convicted criminals can run for President.

Without change we are stagnant — Sometimes I think many longer term writers here lose track of just how experimental this platform is and expect it to act like mature software. It’s not. In fact, it is still a radical thing if you’ve been writing for a long time. There was never a place where you…

Dems need to get back to the basics: grassroots organizing — The vote this week against a state law banning abortion in Kansas offers a serious lesson to Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans. First these ultra-conservative court decisions are extremely unpopular across party lines. This measure was defeated by a coalition of Democrats and suburban Republicans, including many white women who voted…

It is starting to look like a smoking gun — Everything about this stinks to high heaven, including the constantly shifting excuses that create a bewildering timeline of why and when. And everyday it seems the scandal is expanding. And scandal is not too harsh a word. First it was the Secret Service and oddly, the ‘disappearance’ happened to cover…

Business ideas run into reality — Ideas are a beautiful thing, especially when they are new, shiny, and untested. But they are also a dime a dozen. …
