I have not been following the impeachment proceedings in detail. I may be incorrect but gather that the Ukraine military assistance was held when it was ordered held and released when it was ordered it released. I know of no order that was violated in that regard. Is that incorrect? Or are you...

California recently passed a law that requires all presidential candidates to release their tax returns as a condition of getting on that state's primary ballot. That law was challenged in court and a federal judge ruled it is unconstitutional. The state says it will appeal that ruling. (Story...

When I was an infantry officer in the U.S. Army, my fellow officers and I were trained, very clearly, in courses conducted specifically for that purpose, that if a superior officer gave us an illegal order, it was our duty to not obey that order. A clear example would be an illegal order issued...

There are many thousands of federal government employees who have worked in different jobs within one department or different departments for years. Are all of them swamp dwellers? What is the definition of a swamp dweller? Is a 20-year Social Security clerk a swamp dweller? Is a VA hospital...

Roger Stone was found guilty by a jury yesterday. The news saddens me. I'm not saying he is not guilty. He is guilty. He received a fair trial and was convicted by a jury. But I'm saddened because I once worked with Roger Stone. The man is likely to be sentenced to jail time and he will not be...

The book A Warning, written by an anonymous author, will soon be released. Excerpts have already been released. While this may be good news for the author and publisher who will make money on book sales, it's sickening to me. Tell-all books about presidents and administrations are nothing new...

With the House impeachment inquiry transcripts now being released to the public, it is an item of public record that Republican representatives were in the room and were able to directly question the witnesses. Suggestions previously made that they were shut out of the process seem inaccurate in...

Regarding the New York state case, on 11/4/19, "A three-judge panel of the 2nd Circuit Court Appeals unanimously ruled that the president is not immune from investigative steps taken by state prosecutors, such as a grand jury subpoena. Trump plans to go to the Supreme Court to try to block the...

True snapshot today. A few months ago impeachment was underwater in most if not all states. Watch the trajectory, not the snapshots. What's true today will not be true tomorrow.

Keep in mind Trump LOST the popular vote to Hillary Clinton. He is only president because he won the electoral college. In the 2018 mid-term elections, the Democrats surged and took control of the House. Those are the hard, election day numbers. Observers can make any point they want by citing a...

Diane and I came off the road in 2013 after 10 years of D and C-unit team expediting. Those were good years. It was a great run that we do not regret. As far as missing the road goes, we miss the good parts. That photo of the snow-covered C-unit reminds me why we moved to Florida. Thankfully...

Fair points are raised about my use of the term "general public." None of us know the demographics of those in the stadium where Trump was booed and targeted with chants of "lock him up." Many thousands of people reside in and around the nation's capitol who's legal, registered-to-vote...

Some members of this forum occasionally point to Trump's filled-to-overflowing rallies as evidence of his popularity and support. Trump himself likes to talk about his crowd size compared to that of other candidates. There is some truth to that. Trump can clearly draw more supporters into a...

Depending on the source you view, the average life expectancy for a trucker is 10 to 20 years below the national average. It does not have to be that way for you. See this video to learn more: https://www.growingbolder.com/truck-drivers-can-anyone-can-3049183/ This video was produced by...

Yes and no. If you focus on the cases alone, yes, you are correct. The Supreme Court has the final say. But the lower court rulings have impacts beyond the cases themselves. We've already seen a judge in one of these cases reference another of these cases. The judges are paying attention to the...

With all eyes on the impeachment inquiry in the House, it's easy to let the courts fade from view. How is Trump doing in the courts? Here's a review of three cases: 1. Blumenthal v. Trump, an emoluments case. Judge denied Trump's motion to dismiss and ruled the plaintiffs have standing to...
