Why are so many people confusing tactics and strategy? I was listening to TV media talking about the Trump Doctrine. For some reason, they all pretend such a doctrine exists, and that he’s not just making it up as he goes. Why do we need one? Well, because he started bombing things. Trump dropped a mess of Tomahawk bombs on Syria, contradicting everything he’s ever […]
Poetry and drama matter. When the Syfy cable channel began broadcasting their new series “The Expanse”, I was conflicted. I’ve read the novels by ‘James S. A. Corey’ (a pseudonym for Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck), and I like them a lot. At the same time, like any writing that’s filmed, I worried about the result. They got the look down perfectly. This is speculative […]
That’s weird. The Washington Post reported that the FBI received a FISA warrant last summer to surveil Carter Page, Trump’s Foreign Affairs advisor. Mr. Page has admitted his involvement with Russian sources who, it turns out, were attempting to turn Page into a Russian resource in the US. To get a FISA warrant approved, the FBI had to argue that they had probable cause for […]
We need to be careful about how we treat people who lie to us. Today’s online version of the Washington Post has a story about how, With a deadline looming, nobody is threatening to shut down the government. Whoa, hey! Sounds like good news. Here’s how it starts: Congress is off for two weeks, and when lawmakers return, they will quickly face a critical deadline […]
Local chapter head of ‘Republicans for Ignoring the Constitution’. When Syrian President Bashar al-Assad first gassed civilians in 2013, Obama condemned Assad for violating the chemical weapons ban. He asked the Republican Congress for military authorization. There wasn’t an imminent threat to the United States, and none of the existing authorizations included Syria, so the Constitution requires Congressional approval: an Authorization for the Use of […]
I know I shouldn’t listen, but I can’t help myself. I can’t find the transcript, but the press pool flying with Trump on Air Force One reported the Peanut Butter President as saying “I think we’ve had one of the most successful 13 weeks in the history of the presidency.” Leave it to the Cheese Doodle to pretend his Superfund administration smells like sweet magnolias, […]
I hate to be piling on, but it’s important. The President submitted a request to Congress to authorize an attack against Syria after they broke agreements by dropping nerve gas bombs on civilians, killing many, including men, women, children and infants. The Republican speaker of the house responded this way: “I will be voting against this resolution. A vital national security risk is clearly not […]
Just a quick reality-check. Trump tweeted this two hours ago: The reason you don’t generally hit runways is that they are easy and inexpensive to quickly fix (fill in and top)! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump), Apr 08, 2017 Odd thing for Trump to tweet, although it’s mostly true. Thursday’s missile attack probably caused some damage, but Syria reportedly could fly a jet out of […]
