  • You Be the Judge

    Yesterday, Todd Blanche, the number two political appointee at the DoJ, and the President’s fixer and former criminal defense attorney (who unsuccessfully defended him in the porn star Stormy Daniel’s hush money case that resulted in 34 felony convictions for the President), rushed to a prison in Florida where Ghislaine Maxwell is serving her 20-year…

  • “Reality” or “Reality TV”?

    For someone who has been in and out of courts so many times, either as a defendant or as a plaintiff (and I don’t mean just since he ran for public office, but even much before that, pretty much his entire adult life), and as someone who claims to be the smartest person on the…

  • Nothing to See Here!

    I don’t mean to fuel the conspiracy theories that have been going around on the Internet over the last couple of days, but the recent sudden closure of the Jeffery Epstein case by the DoJ and the statement saying that there was no client list to begin with, indeed sounds quite suspicious. I can appreciate…

  • Thinking Prohibited!

    It spreads like plague, contaminating and infecting more and more organizations. After all, it’s so much easier to just do things without having to think about their consequences, or the very next steps that you may need to take. Even the supposedly proactive MO of “don’t ask for permission, ask for forgiveness,” that has been…

  • And You Thought It Couldn’t Get Any More Unhinged

    I was once told by a very good friend of mine (with slightly different points of view) that I was “stalking” the President, after I shared with them a couple of his social medial posts. In one of those posts, the President shared an AI-generated video showing a Trump hotel (or maybe casino) in what…

  • Everyone Matters

    While, admittedly, there are more falsehoods on the Internet than facts, it is still possible for any interested individual to search for a recent news, read about it from multiple sources, and determine the facts or falsehoods in different presentations of that news across different outlets with different agenda, preferably avoiding AI generated material and…

  • Incompetence, Deception, and Cruelty

    In an interview with Tom Klingenstein on October 18, 2024, then-candidate Trump was asked to describe his potentially incoming administration in one word. Below is the exact exchange: Klingenstein: I want a one-word answer.Trump: Go ahead.Klingenstein: Are you capable of one word?Trump: Yes. Well, sometimes you… Am I capable? If it’s doable.Klingenstein: Okay. Kamala says,…

  • Beauty-Pageant-Style Tariffs

    We are going to have a beauty-pageant-style announcement for the new tariffs, mostly on our ally countries, on the “liberation” day, April 2nd. That’s pretty much all Mr. President understands; a competition in a TV show, be it the Beauty Pageant which he owned for a while, or the Apprentice show, in which he actually…

  • A Ponzi Scheme, or an Insurance Policy?

    So the genius billionaire co-president believes that the Social Security Program is “the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time.” Actually, I take it back. While he may not be as smart as many believe he is, I don’t think he is as dumb as he pretends to be either. I am fairly confident that he…

  • Fixing the Elections, or Voter Suppression?

    In the last post, I discussed the magnitude of potential errors due to ineligible voters in the election results in the US, and proposed a very generous confidence interval of 0.01%, based on the results of a recent investigation from the state of Georgia, a with substantial amount of overestimation and scaling to be applicable…
