A Serious Question About the US Constitution

Let’s get my “news hook” out of the way: President-elect Donald Trump has been offering up names for appointments to his cabinet, and rattling a constitutional saber about using “recess appointments” to get around the constitutional  requirement that those appointees be confirmed by the US Senate. I’m not really interested in the details of that … Continue reading A Serious Question About the US Constitution → - by Thomas L. Knapp

Social Media Users Can Walk And Chew Gum. Why Abandon One For The Other?

In the wake of the latest presidential election, it’s morning in America! Well, maybe not, but a lot of people seem to be talking about Bluesky, which implies sun, which implies morning. OK, yeah, a stretch — the newly popular social media platform sounds more like an ELO fan site than a Reagan-era campaign slogan. … Continue reading Social Media Users Can Walk And Chew Gum.

Bloomin’ Onion! Or, Alex Jones And Poetic Injustice

Confession: I’ve just never been much of an Alex Jones fan. I never saw the value, or even very much of the fun, some of my libertarian friends found in his crazed, bombastic commentary. Nonetheless, I’m a free speech fundamentalist  who’s appalled that the court system allowed bad actors to enrich themselves at his expense … Continue reading Bloomin’ Onion!

Election 2024: The Obligatory Explanation Column

I hate election explanation columns. I had no intention of writing such a column for two reasons. One is that the explanation for this election (and pretty much every other election) is too simple and concise to reach op-ed length. The other — and the one justifying this column — is that no matter how … Continue reading Election 2024: The Obligatory Explanation Column → - by Thomas L. Knapp

Disabled people need YOUR support fighting against the Assisted Dying Bill

Labour MP Kim Leadbeater’s Assisted Dying Bill will have its second reading, and vote, in parliament on 29 November. As the Canary has documented, the campaign in support of the bill is funded by some dubious backers – to the tune of millions. However, chronically ill and disabled people against the Assisted Dying Bill are […]

Election 2024: Neither “Landslide” Nor “Mandate”

With 95% of precincts reporting nationwide according to Wikipedia (as of 4am on Saturday, November 9), it’s safe to say that the US presidential election is decided. Donald Trump will presumably swear the oath and assume the office on January 20, 2025, having received votes from about 22.5% of the population. Kamala Harris, having received … Continue reading Election 2024: Neither “Landslide” Nor “Mandate” → - by Thomas L. Knapp

Protectionism and Preparedness Remain Roads to Serfdom and Slaughter

Unlike most advocates of tariffs in the Trump-Biden era, Alexander William Salter is willing to ask “Will Free Trade Bring Peace and Prosperity?” (The Wall Street Journal, October 29). The Rawls College of Business Administration academic even sees said peace as an admirable if uncertain goal, and acknowledges that the answer to the second half … Continue reading Protectionism and Preparedness Remain Roads to Serfdom and Slaughter → - by Thomas L.

How Joe Biden Could Save Lives And Change American Politics On His Way Out The Door

Wait, what? We’re talking about Joe Biden? Why? He’s a “lame duck.”  No matter who wins the US presidential election on November 5, he’s going home to Delaware on January 20.  His chances of asking  for, and getting, much from Congress during that two-and-a-half month interregnum are negligible. But as head of the US government’s … Continue reading How Joe Biden Could Save Lives And Change American Politics On His Way Out The Door → - by Thomas L. Knapp
