US Supreme Court Blocks Trump's Bid to Deploy National Guard Troops in Illinois This should stop Trump's National Guard nonsense in all states. It's nice to see SCOTUS curb this abuse of power.

I was surprised by the number. I was thinking tariffs would have slowed the economy down by increasing prices. While the price increases are indeed evident, economic activity has not slowed. If you consider that number alone, the US economy is robust. One odd thing about this "robust" economy is...

What Happened to Trump's BRICS Threats? On Nov. 30, 2024 Trump made a threat and reiterated it with greater force on Jan. 30 2025. Trump's Nov. 30 Truth Social post was: "The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER. We require...

Inherent Contempt I learned a new term today: "Inherent Contempt" Inherent contempt is a power used by the House and Senate to enforce its mandates directly without the help of the executive or judicial branches. While it is usually associated with subpoenas, lawmakers are now invoking it to...

It may be interesting to you. It's also a moot point. Congress did not pass a bill requiring Clinton to release all Epstein files. They passed a bill requiring Trump to do so. Clinton did not sign that bill into law. Trump did. The American people are not saying they want Clinton to release the...

They are still called the Epstein files and Clinton himself just called for their full release, including every mention and photo of him. Also, did you notice that EVERY Republican in the US House and US Senate (except 1) voted for a law that compels Trump to release all the files? Have you...

Nonsense. Everyone on planet Earth with rational minds, and even all but one House and Senate Republican call them the Epstein files. And speaking of Clinton, here's what he said today about the files in which he is named or pictured. Bill Clinton is clearly not afraid of the Epstein files, but...

Actually, he's right. The partial release of the Epstein files are a case in point for all to see. Here is just one example. The law required the full release of all files, except for some very limited exceptions designed to protect the victims. One of the many violations of law included a...

This Is As It Should Be Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer announced Monday morning he is introducing a resolution to force the Senate to initiate legal action against the justice department for refusing to release the complete Epstein files. “I am introducing a resolution directing the...

Correct. Trump's job approval continues to decline in the polls. Him generating this constitutional crisis will likely reinforce that trend. But polling means little. Trump continues to erode the rule of law. A race is on. Will the Constitution remain intact enough to save the country when the...

Irrelevant. Compliance with the law is not optional. The law is clear. On November 19, 2025, the Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R. 4405) was signed into law. This legislation was passed with nearly unanimous bipartisan support—passing the House 427–1 and the Senate by unanimous consent...

Trump's Multiple Cognitive Assessments In a North Carolina speech last week, Trump said, "I've taken now three cognitive tests. I've aced every single one of them." In fact he has completed three assessments. But his claim of "acing" the tests reflect a misunderstanding of what the tests...

The reason Congress passed a law to release all Epstein files is so things like this can be validated or invalidated. Trump's relentless efforts to keep the files from coming to light are notable and suspect. That's highly suspect to Democrats and Republicans alike. Thus the near unanimous vote...

Classic Trump response: Blame Biden for everything that makes Trump look bad. Regarding "root against the economy," I do not root for or against it. I have lived through and learned from several economic crises. I remember waiting in gas lines in the 70's. I remember the Federal Reserve's...

Another Cherry-Picked Economic Indicator Out of Context It can be good fun citing a single indicator out of context and then claim Trump is responsible for what the indicator shows. Here's one more: The Purchasing Managers' Index is a monthly economic indicator derived from surveys of private...

Anytime you want to do a real analysis of the economic indicators to gauge Trump's effect on the economy let me know. Cherry picking a single item out of context does not cut it. But if cherry picking is your thing, note these: Highest tax increase in US History. In April, 2025, Trump said...

Discussion quality would be improved if instead of focusing on what you think I implied, you focused on what I clearly said.

Your post does not answer the question asked, which was, "When Biden was showing signs of failing health, what did MAGA say about that and his fitness to remain in office?" That is not a question about Biden, it's a question about MAGA. You did not cite pesky details. You cited irrelevant...

2025 Flipped Seats Show Red is Dead In the 2025 off-year elections, Democrats flipped 25 state legislative seats previously held by Republicans. Republicans flipped none. States where the seats were flipped are: PA, MS, IA, NJ, VA, GA. Score: TWENTY-FIVE BLUE to ZERO RED Four statewide...

More Evidence of Trump's Declining Power During the Oct-Nov government shutdown, Trump demanded that Senate Republicans invoke the "nuclear option" to end the shutdown and push through Trump-favored bills. That is, he wanted them to use the power they have in the Senate to eliminate the...
