“Hitler’s back!” That’s newsflash. The return of Donald Trump to the forefront of national attention has the expected audience screaming like Tokyo commuters seeing Godzilla out the window. But embedded in the wails is the long-familiar idea: Donald Trump is Hitler. Not just “Hitler-ish” but the bad old Der Fuhrer himself. “But over the last weeks and months, Trump has been channeling Hitler and Mussolini…” from Salon. Of course “channeling Mussolini” is almost an…
I’m interested in possible ties between DEI Dean Tirien Steinbach and the Stanford National Lawyers Guild students who disrupted the talk by Federal Judge Stuart K. Duncan. Did Dean Steinbach collude with the protest group? She showed up with pre-printed, prepared remarks, clearly ready to play a role in the incident. The Stanford Shoutdown was classic Red Guard tactics. We should remember the Maoist Red Guards were not a spontaneous uprising of kids, but a force inspired and directed by…
So Trump’s going to be indicted by the current New York District Attorney, who’s totally a non-partisan servant of the justice system. I’m all over social media and many of my friends are totally giddy. Trump is finally going to be put away forever and the Menace of Our Latest Hitler (as opposed to Yesterday’s Hitler—R.Reagan, G. Bush Sr., G.W. Bush) will be ended with people’s justice served. One nice lady I know has already bought the campaign and…
Talk about bank shots! Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) collapsed and was shut down last week, in the biggest bank failure since the 2008 meltdown. New York based Signature Bank soon followed. What’s going on? Bank-A-Geddon? Margin Call 2? So far it seems the line is being held, and some depositors are getting money. But what happened? Here’s how banks work: Mary deposits money in Bob’s Bank. Bob pays you interest using your money. Bob lends the money you…
So, Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene wants a National Divorce? “We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government,” the Georgia Republican Greene wrote in a separate tweet on Presidents Day. Say what? “Separate by red states and blue states?” “To avoid a civil war?” Hon, the last divorce caused the Civil War: custody dispute over Fort Sumpter. Separate into what? Different countries? Who gets custody of the armed forces?…
I found myself in an area middle school not long ago, and came upon a glass-fronted bulletin board. Actually, two, side by side. The left hand side featured a “Green Club” and it was all Eco-advocacy stuff. The other side was labelled “RIDE CLUB.” Either it was a joke, or they’d run out of Ps. It was clearly an official school Pride Club, and since “Pride” has been claimed, the way “gay” was fifty years ago, and the…
