					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve been reading about the inventor &#038; entrepreneur Joseph Gerber, who came to the US from Nazi Austrian in 1940 and created a whole string of inventions, ultimately being dubbed &#039;the Thomas Edison of apparel&#039; by the trade magazine Bobbin Journal for his invention of numerically-controlled fabric cutters and sewing machines. We could use a few Joe Gerbers currently to assist with the reshoring of American manufacturing.

Reading about Gerber also pointed me to a great archive of radio &#038; tv programs, the Cavalcade of America series sponsored by DuPont, which ran from 1935-1957.

In regard to criminalization of the regulations derived from the criminal code, you might like to check out longish 2022 report:    https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/report/count-the-code-quantifying-federalization-criminal-statutes 

or more summary version from 2025:  https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/report/quantifying-and-remedying-overcriminalization-federal-law

The issue in Trump&#039;s EO is to ensure regulations with criminal penalties [rather than civil ones?] also are read and interpreted to incorporate the legal concept of means rea or &quot;intent to do harm&quot; as part of charging someone with a crime. Some regulations and legislation apparently do not include that common sense criteria in defining what is a crime. Thus someone can be charged for doing something criminal even though they did not know it was a crime and did not intend to commit a crime.  Clearly, excessive numbers of situations like that make a joke of the rule of law, or worse.  
But as with all EO&#039;s, really Congress needs to clean this mess up that they created via loose or vague or arbitrary or capricious legislative language.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Willow Run...it should be noted that it was Edsel Ford who signed the contract to build the plant and bombers, committing $200MM of the company&#039;s money (a lot of money in those days) based on nothing more than a rough sketch.

On 1 August 2017, Defense One reported that in an effort to pay less for the replacement program, the USAF entered into a contract to purchase two 747-8 Intercontinental (747-8I) jets from Boeing, which had originally been ordered in 2011 by Transaero, a Russian airline. Before they could be delivered, Transaero filed for bankruptcy and was closed down; the two aircraft were stored at Southern California Logistics Airport in the Mojave Desert to prevent corrosion. On 27 February 2018, the White House announced a US$3.9 billion (~$4.66 billion in 2023) agreement with Boeing to modify the two unsold 747-8s to replace the VC-25As. The new aircraft is to be designated VC-25B.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This could be yuge. The case (Trump v, CASA) was originally about birthright citizenship, but it looks like the Supremes split off the part of the case where nationwide injunctions were challenged. Oral arguments are on May 15.

The birthright case Is also yuge and not a slamdunk as the Left claims. 

Supreme Court to Hear Challenge to Nationwide Injunctions in Trump v. CASA

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments Thursday in a case that could have major implications for the future of executive authority and the use of nationwide injunctions by federal district courts.

The consolidated case, Trump v. CASA, centers on President Donald Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to illegal immigrants—a policy blocked by multiple lower courts.

Three federal district judges issued nationwide injunctions that prevented the Trump administration from implementing the order, despite the executive branch’s longstanding constitutional authority over immigration matters.

The high court is now being asked to consider whether such sweeping judicial actions overstep the proper role of the courts.

					<description><![CDATA[The Tapper and Thompson book is titled &quot;Original Sin.&quot; I wondered if it had something to do with the corresponding Christian doctrine. Which seemed a pretentious overreach.

But no, it refers to &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Biden&#039;s original sin&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; in choosing to run again.

This seems to be the limited hang-out route Democrats and media have chosen to rationalize their loss in 2024.
