About the history of party control of Congress and the presidency

The New Neo Posted on October 4, 2023 by neoOctober 4, 2023

As part of the discussion of Gaetz’s move yesterday, commenter “Sharon W” wrote (I’m pretty sure sarcastically): Maybe Art Deco can enunciate for us all the gains conservatives experienced when the House, Senate and Presidency were in Republican hands. Most … Continue reading →

Newt Gingrich on Matt Gaetz’s move

The New Neo Posted on October 4, 2023 by neoOctober 4, 2023

Those of you who think Gingrich was a good Speaker, and knowledgeable about the workings of the House, please take a look at what he wrote just prior to yesterday’s vote to oust McCarthy: Newt Gingrich on Tuesday urged House … Continue reading →

Open thread 10/4/23

The New Neo Posted on October 4, 2023 by neoOctober 4, 2023

I’ve seen him live about ten times, the most concerts I’ve ever seen by a single person. Never been disappointed: Here’s a photo I took in 2008 at a concert in a small venue. I had an obstructed view and … Continue reading →

The House votes McCarthy out as Speaker

The New Neo Posted on October 3, 2023 by neoOctober 3, 2023

This is what happened: Lawmakers have voted to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., from his leadership role, the first time in the history of the House of Representatives that the chamber voted to boot a member from the top job. … Continue reading →

The left and the Elites

The New Neo Posted on October 3, 2023 by neoOctober 3, 2023

Commenter “huxley” asks an excellent question, and then answers it: I understand it’s not a priority in conservative circles to wonder WTF happened to the Left. But, as an ex-leftist, I do. Exactly how did the Left swivel away from … Continue reading →

Trump and the New York show trial

The New Neo Posted on October 3, 2023 by neoOctober 3, 2023

All Americans should be outraged about the show-trial nature of the charges of fraud against Trump in New York. The persecution is obvious and blatant. The tragedy is not really the biased prosecutor and judge, although of course these are … Continue reading →

Open thread 10/3/23

The New Neo Posted on October 3, 2023 by neoOctober 3, 2023

All of it amazes me. But the one-handed stuff amazes me the most. Yes, the smaller woman (she is supposedly 15 but looks younger) is very light. But she’s not so light that it makes sense that another not-so-very-big woman … Continue reading →

Trump’s trial begins in New York

The New Neo Posted on October 2, 2023 by neoOctober 2, 2023

Legal Insurrection has some coverage here as well as here. There’s also this at Powerline, with links. I find this trial to be a travesty, and I would be very surprised if anything happens to change my mind on that.

Jamall Bowman: pulling the fire alarm and then pulling our legs?

The New Neo Posted on October 2, 2023 by neoOctober 2, 2023

What a long strange trip it’s been. To wit, you’ve probably read quite a bit about this: Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), a former school principal who pulled a fire alarm in the U.S. Capitol complex moments before the House was … Continue reading →

It’s Senator Laphonza Butler till the next election

The New Neo Posted on October 2, 2023 by neoOctober 2, 2023

You might ask – who’s that? I certainly had never heard of her before. But Butler fits the previously declared identity boxes – a black woman- and Newsom has said she’s a temporary placeholder. However, she’s certainly not barred from … Continue reading →

Open thread 10/2/23

The New Neo Posted on October 2, 2023 by neoOctober 2, 2023

It’s not just October; it’s October second. I know I’ve said this before, but it’s amazing how fast time goes these days. I even saw a few leaves yesterday that had turned color – the early birds.

The Name in the Stone – updated [BUMPED UP]

The New Neo Posted on September 30, 2023 by neoSeptember 30, 2023

I’m still working on Gerard’s book, and I thought I’d mention a few things that came up in the comments of my earlier post on the subject. The basic structure of the book was decided on by Gerard, and I’m … Continue reading →
