The California power outages everyone is railing against
A year ago, right after the terribly destructive fires in northern California, PG&E was heavily criticized for not having cut the power sufficiently when the winds blew. Now they are criticized for cutting the power when the winds blow and … Continue reading →
Trump, Congress, and Turkey
Here’s an interesting take: But one thing no one is looking at is the position Trump is in, with no prospect of support or even reasonable collaboration from the House of Representatives. For the sake of the Americans in uniform … Continue reading →
Do you think this will ever happen?
I have grown very cynical. So Rand Paul’s call to investigate the four senators will probably go nowhere: Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) called for a probe into four Democratic Senators on Sunday over a letter that they sent to Ukraine … Continue reading →
Moving that Overton Window: Cornell law professor says those who defy Congress should be jailed
Josh Chavetz is a law professor at Cornell, and he has written an opinion piece in the NY Times entitled “The House Can Play Hardball, Too. It Can Arrest Giuliani: Two ways that Democrats in the House can match the … Continue reading →

The left’s encouraging “whistleblowers” from the intelligence community to file complaints for political reasons has a long history
