U.S. Capitol Belongs to The People
Pretending the Jan. 6 demonstration was an insurrection is silly. An “insurrection,” which didn’t seek to topple any government, which was in support of the sitting president, and where the armed people were all on the other side? Nonsense.
US Policy on Taiwan is a False and Dangerous Two-Step
Sooner or later, the US will return to the “hands off foreign disputes” approach that characterized its first century. Better that it do so sooner and voluntarily than later under the compulsion of military, economic, and political collapse.
Self-Defense Isn’t a Crime
If Kyle Rittenhouse had been a “black”, trans, communist Biden fan who showed up to support Antifa, I would still see what he did as self-defense.

This has its roots in the thinking of the ancients.
Law is Hell
If a plaintiff or a prosecutor ever realizes you’re alive and decides to make you suffer, your innocence will not save you from a world of pain.
“Executive Privilege” Should Be Ended, Not Extended
If Trump’s name goes down in history for anything of substance rather than mere flash, it should probably be for his bizarre claim that people who aren’t executives anymore retain “executive privilege” over information pertaining to their time in office.
Supply Chain is Government Problem
I hate to sound like a parrot repeating the only phrase he knows until everyone is sick of hearing him. Even though it’s true. Squawk! Government is the problem.
