When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.

What happens if he retires after the midterms? He gets replaced by another activist "constitutional" judge, right?

As I assume all nuclear engineers do, I have a longtime favorite photo of Cherenkov radiation. Its creator, Taryn Simon, has a new, wild show in the Guggenheim. This article about her big project is mind-boggling. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/14/m...

She Spent Years on a Giant Project About One Man. The Result Is Monumental.
Taryn Simon’s new show at the Guggenheim Museum is an audacious attempt to document the story of modern America through the life of one F.B.I. agent.

When will the press corps ask him: "Sir, you claimed that you would end the Ukraine invastion by Russia on Day 1, that it would be very easy, that everyone wants to make a deal so why should the American people believe you this time over a war that you unilaterally started?"

I appreciate you dropping Kansas since the change in NIL relegated them to their appropriate place. However, North Carolina does not deserve auto inclusion. Just because Hubert is gone does not make them interesting. Carry on.

When a trump lackey says the problem is Trump Derangement Syndrome, the democrats should agree and define it as the trump lackeys who think that an 80 year old dementia patient is always right about everthing and somehow won in 2020.

I was disappointed in 2018 when Rahmbo took Chicago out of the World Cup host city running. Mostly because of the opportunity to see a second WC in the US. However, Rahm was right and here are the receipts. www.nytimes.com/athletic/731...

The Chicago mayor who said ‘no’ to the World Cup – a dome on Soldier Field was the last straw (Gift Article)
Rahm Emanuel thought the proposed deal left 'Chicago taxpayers as the dumb money at the table'. Eight years on, he hasn't changed his mind

Iran is clearly holding all the cards right now. We are in a worse spot than when this started, but over time, as the market adjusts, Iran's influence will wane. Once this "war" is officially over, it would be malpractice to not work on alternates to Hormuz shipping.

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

1. Tear up negotiated nuclear inspections regime with Iran, impose sanctions. 2. Iran enriches uranium. 3. Start war against Iran. 4. Iran closes Strait of Hormuz. 5. Get Iran to give up enriched uranium, reopen strait, and restore inspections regime in exchange for sanctions relief. ???
