    The reign of your new king begins soon -- "recess appointments" to skip oversight.

    Donald Trump has stated that he expects anyone vying to be Senate majority leader to agree to recess immediately afterwards for 2 weeks or more, so that he can use "recess appointments" to install high-level cabinet posts without Senate confirmation. As long as the Senate is in recess for a...

    The Horror of Trump's Previous Zero Tolerance Immigration ****show. Coming Soon.

    I would not have expected that from you.

    US Capitol rioters await Trump pardons

    That is some special pleading you got there, mister. First, a jury is generally presented with something called "evidence" -- you might have heard of it. And the accused isn't permitted to offer them all sorts of rewards and goodies (and punish their enemies!) if they let him off in spite of the...

    US Capitol rioters await Trump pardons

    Fine. You won't mind, then, if I laugh scornfully in the face of the next American who says, "we are a nation of laws?"

    Just out of idle curiosity -- about the election...

    Also note: He didn't say "Biden won," he said "Now, Congress has certified the results." And for the past four years, he has said literally hundreds of times that "frankly, we did win." He said: "I would like to begin by addressing the heinous attack on the United States Capitol. Like all...

    Just out of idle curiosity -- about the election...

    Since Donald Trump and JD Vance won the election, and the Republicans regained the Senate, has anyone noticed a single member on the left complaining about how the whole thing was rigged, and the election was stolen from Harris/Vance? It does seem a tad different from this same time 4 years...

    The Real Reason Trump Won

    He also totally ignores the fact that consumer voluntary spending is up, travel for pleasure is way up. I find the picture of someone buying airplane tickets for the family while telling an interviewer "we can't afford to buy eggs!" somewhat amusing.

    The Real Reason Trump Won

    That's like saying the person in power is responsible for the earthquake. Not at all. However, that person is certainly responsible for how that earthquake and resulting damage is responded to. And Biden's administration wrestled inflation down.

    Remembrance Day

    Just finished attending Rembrance Day service at Toronto's Old City Hall. I do it every year, and it's always moving.

    US Capitol rioters await Trump pardons

    Yes, well, whatever that was about, it only obliquely acknowledged my question.

    Norway or Canada

    Well, BC is home to about 25% of the world's temperate rainforest, which is a beautiful and unique environment. However, as the name might suggest, BC is also home to some rain. We used to have a saying here in Toronto about people we knew moving to Vancouver: "In Toronto you freeze, in...

    I know some people who have visited China. They tell me they're actually quite scrutable.

    US Capitol rioters await Trump pardons

    You seem to be saying that one of America's "core values" is to shake off any regime some faction doesn't happen to like. I mean, John Adams wrote that approximately one-third of the American population supported the move for independence (Patriots), one-third of the population supported the...

    Welcome to the world of action/reaction. Sad that there's math to calculate it on the billiard table, but not in complex economic systems.

    I was wrong - and that makes me angry.

    Yep, not a bad move -- easy to approve of. Except...Americans are complaining most about price. Move that manufacturing back to the US, and you have to pay US wages, which are much higher than the Chinese (or Pakistani, or Indonesian, or Bangladeshi) are being paid. Guess what?!? That gets...

    Trump on Day 1: Begin deportation push, pardon Jan. 6 rioters and make his criminal cases vanish

    Interesting listening to The Bulwark, with David Frum as guest, who has said that Trump's first administration was the most corrupt in history -- but Trump 2 is going to make that fade into insignificance by comparison. And this is easy to see -- Trump who wants only loyalists and criminals he's...

    Trump on Day 1: Begin deportation push, pardon Jan. 6 rioters and make his criminal cases vanish

    Good, you can finally, formally retire that silly old nostrum that the US is a "nation of laws." Laws are for the non-elite, and the people the non-elite approve of (however momentarily). It will lead to a considerable amount of chaos on the civil service. Experience, rather than bum-kissing...
