Trump acquitted
But the US Congress has covered itself with shame, as far as I’m concerned. A friend of mine likes to say, “No matter how cynical I get, it never seems to be cynical enough.” That’s the way I often feel, … Continue reading →

Some selections from the impeachment trial – plus, now we’ll have witnesses
[UPDATE 1:26 PM: Well, that was quick. I’d no sooner published this post than it was announced that the Democrats have done an Emily Litella and said “never mind.” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced Saturday that a deal has … Continue reading →
Perhaps New Yorkers wish they could recall Governor Cuomo
Or perhaps this sort of thing is just peachy keen with them: Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s top aide privately apologized to Democratic lawmakers for withholding the state’s nursing home death toll from COVID-19 — telling them “we froze” out of fear … Continue reading →
Finally the questions about the death of Officer Sicknick are getting a wider audience
Not wide enough, of course. But wider. I already wrote about my questions concerning Officer Sicknick’s cause of death, in posts appearing on January 11, January 26, January 30, and February 5. The ambiguities and contradictions in the articles, plus … Continue reading →
The voting “reform” bill: it gives me no pleasure to say I was right…
…when I wrote in December that a “voting reform” bill would probably be the very first bill the Democrats would try to pass in their new session – and that it could very well destroy valid voting in this country … Continue reading →
Another must-watch from Frei and Barnes
Or a must-listen, actually – no need to actually watch. It’s very long, but I’ve cued it up for just the two shorter parts that I think are especially important. The first once again concerns that Time article on how … Continue reading →
The Senate is pretending to have an impeachment trial

Time on the vast conspiracy to “save” the 2020 election before it even took place
This rather curious article in Time (yes, Time still exists) is getting a lot of attention. You might think that the title of this post is fanciful or facetious, but it’s pretty much a summary of the self-congratulatory title of … Continue reading →
LA’s new DA: parole for everybody!
I wonder how many people in LA County who recently voted to elect George Gascon as their DA were aware that they were voting for a man who believes in the minimum sentences for everyone. It’s hard to believe a … Continue reading →
If you want a summary of the legal situation regarding 2020 election fraud, take a look
This video by Frei and Barnes is two and a half months old, and I missed it when it came out. But it presents a relatively succinct discussion of the challenges Trump’s legal team faced in trying to fight possible … Continue reading →
Maxine Waters spreads some healing balm
House member Waters: “[Trump] absolutely should be charged with premeditated murder because of the lives that were lost for this invasion with his insurrection,” she told MSNBC. “For the president of the United States to sit and watch the invasion … Continue reading →
It should come as no surprise that authorities are having trouble finding any evidence that Officer Sicknick’s death was caused by rioters
On January 26 I wrote a post titled “Deadly riots” that explored the cause of death of the five people whose deaths have been claimed to have been caused by the January 6th riots and/or rioters. One was Capitol Police … Continue reading →
