Interesting read. Nobody LIKES paying taxes, but perhaps our focus should be on seeing that burden fall appropriately and getting what we pay for...rather than cutting services to reduce the hit we take. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/o...

Paul Rosenberg was an art dealer in NY & Paris who represented Picasso, Matisse and others in the first half of the 20th Cent. He fled the Nazis in 1940 and after a long journey to NY, an immigration officer told him "Don't worry, you are among friends now" Would he get the same welcome today?

WAIT! Isn’t this the same department that lets its officers go around masked and w/o badge numbers and name tags……because they’re afraid of being doxxed? If you needed any more proof that DHS/ICE are American Secret Police, our own Gestapo - that’s it.

What General Hertling is saying here is that the professional, rather than political operation of our military is what makes the US Army stronger that of China. And this keeps them from doing anything too stupid. Let's not jeopardize that. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Really great read about how Trump gets away with nearly everything. Best part: "The Democrats are trying to prosecute him for malice when they should be prosecuting him for malpractice." (Gift Article) www.nytimes.com/2025/12/30/o...

Paul Krugman knocks it out of the park: "...Marquez’s examples go all the way back to the Emperor Caligula, but the logic has remained the same over the centuries. (Trump hasn’t yet appointed his favorite horse as consul, but he did make Pete Hegseth secretary of defense war.)...
