one lonely outpost in the ongoing war on intellectually dishonest narrative cultivation
On a couple of occasions lately I have put much jovial (and blind) hope into the following passage: For those reasons, this Court agrees with the government that term-of-office provisions do not themselves limit the removal power. My overreliance on the simple reading has lead me to assume this regarding employees of the Executive Branch …

The next Ukranian President to enter the oval office (assuming that happens before January 20, 2029) will be wearing a suit and tie (or be otherwise appropriately dressed). Ripped from the early afternoon headlines: Zelensky Attempts Oval Office Grandstanding; Finds Out Trump and Vance Don't Play That Game Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky showed up to …
Just a catch-up post for a couple of things that have lingered on my desktop for several days... The first via Instapundit: The Never Trump Grift Goes On, but It Has a Shelf Life Now The low-T doyens of the Never Trump movement who've been turning vitriolic obsession into cash since 2016 are still cashing …

Recent times seem to have me posting quite often on the blended topics of our Soft Center Right and the big-tent-ism that grew out of the embarrassing "compassionate conservative" marketing gimmick of the equally embarrassing GWB campaign. (Yes, I was a supporter back then...but then (yada, yada,) and finally TARP. But I digress.) To bring …

Back in December I posted the following about today's news and what I'm sure the reaction will be all day tomorrow: Progressives from sea to shining sea will, of course, lose what is left of their minds in late January February if Mr. Trump goes on a firing spree. And then there will be the …
I'm not really prepared to go that far but - as with much in the Trump era and even more so now that he is not playing the game all by himself - I will give a thrilled applause to Secretary Rubio on this one: Marco Rubio Leaves CBS News' Margaret Brennan Speechless After She …

With huge news breaking on the national and world stages at a great pace these days, here is a little small news for those with ties back to the legacy site just to mark the occasion... Six days ago my account at that legacy site was terminated...permanently cancelled. No real surprise here, it had been …
In one magic instant just over 24 hours from now, the American Republic once again will have a proud executive…as the blueprint requires. Of course, the greater system as it exists today abhors such a thing…especially after four years of maximum playtime under the polar opposite. No doubt – as I have said many times over …

As posted at the legacy site last night... That he was always going to be a pathetically bad president was never in doubt. A real President was giving us clues way back in 1987. By 2020 it was clear to all willing to see that it was going to be worse than that. Still, there were times …
