Trump Gets Dems To Care About ‘Free Speech’

Sun, 2025-03-30 20:00 +0000
I will always have reservations about the government using force (arrest, detention, and even deportation) when it appears to silence open expression, especially dissent. Absent actual threats or proof of incitement (that results in personal or property damage), let them speak. Yes, I wrote about this yesterday, but it’s important to keep digging into every ...

An Open Letter to Dan Innis and Attorney Lehmann – And a Quick Response

Sun, 2025-03-30 18:00 +0000
In the shadow of Queen Sharon’s Senate-chamber speech in support of SB268 (permitting classification of individuals based on biological sex under certain limited circumstances), I observed something that got less attention.  It was Rochefort, a pharmacist, recusing himself from a pharmacy bill later in the afternoon.  Good for him!  Nurse Terese often quotes her late ...

Is It Drought Season Yet?

Sun, 2025-03-30 12:00 +0000
You’ll get different answers depending on who you ask. I’m referring to the two-season jokes: winter and Construction, winter and bugs, Pumpkin Spice and everything else. I’m sure I’ve missed a few, but drought season is one of my favorite topics. I don’t like droughts, but my town has been acting like we’ve been in ... Read more

The Activist Judges Who Think They Outrank the President

Sun, 2025-03-30 02:00 +0000
The American system was founded on a simple idea: three branches of government, each with its distinct role. The president executes the law, Congress creates it, and the judiciary interprets it. However, at some point, activist judges became more than just referees; they began seeing themselves as emperors, wielding gavels like scepters and rewriting the ... Read more

Sat, 2025-03-29 22:00 +0000
I had three other articles started for today. I began with the insanity of Rachel Maddow, then the behavior of the Democrat senators in the Intel Committee hearing, and finally, the Democrat members of Congress in their Intel hearing.

The Authoritarian War on Due Process

Sat, 2025-03-29 20:00 +0000
I can say without much reservation that Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s explanation to justify the deportation of individuals like Mahmoud Khalil made a lot of sense to me.

There are likely more than two sides to this particular debate, but we’ll stick to these to keep things in focus. First, President Trump is out of hand with all the executive orders, and thank god for district court judges (almost always a small g with these folks – the Big G is for Government). ... Read more
