First Interaction
“Am I under investigation?”
“No, sir, you are not”
“Could you maybe let everyone know that?”
“I’ll see what I can do”
Second Interaction
“Look, if anybody on my team did something wrong, they need to be held to account. But I know I did nothing wrong, and you told me I am […]
My fellow Americans:
Our nation remains in a state of shock over Wednesday’s horrifying, horrifying attacks. We again offer our deepest sympathies to the families of the victims at this time of unimaginable grief.
But as our shock and horror turns into anger and determination, we know that we owe these families more than our […]
A little closer to the bottom of the barrel…
Trump has shattered not one but both major parties. Looking forward to the internecine fighting. Mike Pence is going to be the most powerful VP since… Dick Cheney, I guess. Trump has essentially zero knowledge about the mechanics of government and legislation. Pence has been both […]
…in no particular order.
I wonder how much Hillary will be paid for her next speech. Can we please stop with the SHE WON THE POPULAR VOTE thing? If we had a popular vote system, (a) the candidates would campaign differently and (b) Republicans in states like CA and NY would actually have a reason […]
The betting sites react very quickly to new information, so they provide an excellent way to monitor events in real time.

Quick little speculation before it all becomes history…
Comey’s letter was an extraordinary event. He is a smart guy, so he must have had an extraordinary reason. Sure, maybe he is just trying to sway the election. But (a) that would be counter to every aspect of his reputation and track record; and (b) he […]

I decided it would be fun to go through portions of FBI Director Comey’s statement and paraphrase.
Note that he did not have to provide so much… detail. In fact, he did not have to say anything at all. During his delivery, he seemed to add special emphasis each of the numerous times he directly […]
You might want to start with the background article.
Summary: Hillary successfully defended a child rapist — oops, I mean “accused” child rapist — back in 1975. But that is not the interesting part. The interesting part is this interview:
Note that this is raw source material. No pundits; no shills; no conspiracies… Just […]
