If there is the slightest question that wrong has been done, only full due process can establish whether the claim is wrong or right. The court of political sentiment is mute. The processes of public opinion are inappropriate. Partisans cannot possibly know what the issues look like from within Mueller’s domain. Even POTUS cannot know.

Be All, End All
There is no entity that can do defense, imperialism, law enforcement, infrastructure, pharmaceutical, diplomacy, security, education, politics, travel, migration, housing, care for the aged, care for the disabled, economics, finance, agriculture, stewardship, and so forth, and so on.
Scarcity
It seems to me that there are 3 kinds of scarcity: 1) natural, 2) monopolistic, and 3) creative. The first and third are conducive to free markets. The second can produce horrors.
Collectives
I am a member of the collective of those who love our farm, those who love the land of Kentucky, those who love the land of the US, those who love North America, those who love the Americas, those who love the Western Hemisphere, those who love the World, those who love the Solar System, the Milky Way, the Universe, the Universes.
Pathological Liars
My second least favorite politician, a former mayor of the festering NYC, current attorney for my least favorite politician, POTUS, has been stinking up the newspace, often and potently.
Neither
But somebody did ask, a two-choice poll was posted on Facebook asking for whom would I vote in November — Democrat or Republican. As the Paul Newman character in “Harper” said to the Pamela Tiffin character, “you have a way of starting conversations that ends conversation.”
Better Ingredients, Better Pizza
I don’t like Papa John’s pizza. And I don’t like the University of Louisville Cardinals (I’m hoping to drift back inside the pale now that Chris Mack is there). So don’t come here looking for objectivity.
Guns and Triremes
It has always been the same, one person or one institution made-up of oligarchs, has been able to buy the WMD. At the same time, they keep the serfs unable to hoard even a peashooter, much less the peas to fire through it.
International Wrecking Ball
The problems of the USA vis NATO are direct consequences of the size, the gross excessiveness, of the PMIC (Politico-Military Industrial Complex). The whole world is captive to this behemoth.
Webs
I did run into a spiderweb on my porch this morning. My blithe forehead snagged one or more strands of the silky stuff. But I don’t know whether I have activated some god-like black avenger that will eventually see me in my grave. It’s the not knowing that is the point.
