Are we really so desperate that we need to terrorize America’s parks? Really? Impressive heroics by the park rangers. A real president would know better.

Making Sense of the Game
Suddenly the head games liberals are forcing us to play makes sense!
Cost of Stupidity
Cheers to the Doctrine Man for re-surfacing Italian economist Carlo Cipolla’s 1976 essay, The Basic Laws of Stupidity via ClearanceJobs, from which I quote: In his essay – which was initially intended for a very small group of close colleagues – Cipolla presented his laws of stupidity. We all know stupid people exist, he explained,…
3rd World Trump Protest
Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., says it all about today’s pro-Trump protests: “This is Banana Republic crap that we’re watching right now,” said Gallagher, who had spoken out against objections from fellow Republicans to certifying the Electoral College vote that Biden won. What we’re witnessing is some serious 3rd-World Shit. Are we suddenly living in Venezuela…

This seems suitable for Election Week 2020, perhaps the grimmest occurrence in my half-century on Earth. Foiled in my attempt to early-vote, I’ll now have to face the crowds on Tuesday to cast…
Republican Rivals to President Trump?
My answer to a rather frivolous question on Quora: “I don’t really like Trump, but I am conservative. Why are all the Republicans supporting Trump? Are there not any other candidates?” Not in the sense that matters. If he had made major blunders that caused economic decline, foreign policy disasters, or engaged in an unsupported…
Time to Go
27-term Michigan Rep. John Conyers’ retirement is a “sad end to a long career.” Hardly. Conyers made a career out of race-focused politics. Leaving the current sexual harassment witch hunt and his wife’s bribery conviction out of the discussion, fifty years is enough.
George Bush Sr calls Trump a ‘blowhard’
Considering how chill former presidents are, this is a big statement. Not that a blowhard like Trump cares.
