Besides all the other things that are at stake in this current Presidential election; trivial things like the survival of the United States as a democracy and survival of a free press, is also trying to put a nail in the coffin of those folks who believe that the “market

As a part of the conference I am hosting I had to go to a social event last night. After a couple of large hefeweizens, a member of our group brought up the subject of the demon that is Donald Trump. Like throwing chum in the water, I took the

If you have been a long time reader here, you will know that one of my pet peeves is that the Navy has more flag officers than it has ships. A few years ago I picked a fight with one of the Naval Institute’s “preferred customers” on this very subject. Well, it took

And we have nothing to show for it. The great spiral downward of the United States of America continues. Charles Pierce is one of my favorite writers. He pulls no punches in the latest masterpiece of great writing to tell us how Donald Trump is the visible symbol of our failure
