  • Any Price: A Backwards Justification

    This was an old conversation from several months ago, when Trump’s department of war crimes in collaboration with another war criminal, Netanyahu, suddenly decided that after totally “obliterating” the entire nuclear capability of Iran a few months earlier, somehow it was only two weeks away from making a nuclear bomb, and that the only way…

  • Reflecting on the Reflecting Pool

    U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro moved to dismiss a felony vandalism indictment against the former U.S. Olympic canoeist David Hearn. Her office stated the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool damage was due to a botched contractor installation, not vandalism. This is after so much fanfare and headline-grabbing statements in press conferences by Pirro assuring that there was…

  • How Is the Current Supreme Court Viewed by Public

    Over the last few years, I have vented a lot about the egregious rulings of the US Supreme Court (and in rare occasions, have celebrated the rulings that seemed to me to be in the direction of strengthening the rule of law and ensuring equal justice for all). I think the polling referenced in this…

  • Shameless Crimes and Coverups, then Name Callings and Deflections

    A large portion of this post is extracted from a recent Talking Feds Substack newsletter. Last Friday, DOJ shipped to the House Judiciary Committee some documents about the Mar-a-Lago prosecution against Donald Trump led by Special Counsel Jack Smith. These are documents that the AG Pam Bondi must have thought would be damning to Jack…

  • Is the Left Losing Their Mind?

    In a recent court filing, several leftist lunatics have accused the secretary of homeland security and the immigration and customs enforcement agency of violating their first and fourth amendment rights. As their ridiculous evidences, they have submitted sworn affidavits, some claiming that ICE agents have told them that, by protesting or monitoring their activities, the…

  • Minimum Wages

    My rather extreme liberal political and socio-economic leanings are no secret. But, like most others, I have very close friends with vast amounts of knowledge on different subjects and impeccable critical thinking abilities in their professional field, but somehow obsessed with the following two things: And, in recent years, this obsession has gone insofar as…

  • Lawmaker, Prosecutor, Judge, and Jury in One

    “To ICE, Border Patrol, Law Enforcement, and all U.S. Military: As per my August 25, 2025 Executive Order, please be advised that, from this point forward, anybody burning the American Flag will be subject to one year in prison,” Trump posted on Truth Social Friday evening. “You will be immediately arrested. Thank you for your…

  • Trump’s Assaults on the First Amendment Are Nothing New

    The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, while being quite short, covers several very important fundamental rights. It states that Congress cannot make a law that Of these, probably the most well-known right is the freedom of speech, so much so that in many contexts, the First Amendment and freedom of speech…

  • Thou Shalt Not Have Bias

    Corporate media’s obsession with providing equal coverage for all “points of view” or making sure that they do not criticize one party more than the other, is ridiculous and has nothing to do with fairness. Fairness does not mean giving platforms equally to truths and falsehoods. Social media is already providing ample opportunity for dissemination…

  • The Last Line of Defense

    The Trump administration is celebrating a new ruling from the DC circuit court today: “Appeals court tosses judge’s contempt order in case over Venezuelans sent to El Salvador.” In a 2-1 ruling, the two Trump-appointed judges in the three-judge panel resorted to absurd arguments to justify their opinions. One of them (Katsas) argued that the…
