Category: Comment Sandbox

  • [Thoughts on the new 'Executive Branch' exclusive club in Georgetown started by Donald Trump Jr et al that has a membership fee of $500,000 which will allow members to network and mingle with administration officials out of the public eye?  (more here) gjr]

  • [Apologies for letting the last sandbox become a little overused and festered.  Here's some fresh sand that I'm sure will be welcomed.  gjr]

  • [Did I miss any of our commenters noting the evil Democrats led by Bumblebrain handing out Social Security cards (numbers) to millions of illegal aliens over the last four years?  Most of these were also accompanied by drivers’ licenses and get-Medicare-free cards.  All this activity to bolster Democrat voter ranks was made public by DOGE…

  • [Nobody seems to know how to address the issue of federal district judges assuming executive branch prerogatives from the bench.  Both Right and Left are haranguing each other on the question of who, the President or the judge, is actually abiding by the laws of the land.  The proper way to approach the solution here…

  • [‘Making English Our National Language Is One Step Toward A More Unified Country’ is a true statement, and long overdue.  I grew up in a bilingual environment, speaking only Estonian at home with my parents.  But we all recognized the importance of speaking English as one of the main bonds unifying us as Americans with…

  • [No one knows how to price their AI-enhanced productivity tools like the MS Copilot.  One of the problems is that it’s hard to tell how much benefit a desk worker gets out such a tool for the various prices charged.  I tried it about a week ago to help write a post (here), and it…

  • [I think the Dems will put up a greater and more desperate ‘resistance’ to the Trump2 administration that they did to Trump1 and also the interregnum Trump.  The poor bastards have nothing else to offer thinking Americans – i.e. no policy alternatives that anyone who pays attention would accept.  All they have left is a…

  • [I'd be interested in readers' comments regarding the information content of today's interminable news conferences during which dozens of bureaucrats high and low take turns expressing their compassion and prayers for the victims, describing how hard everyone in their department/agency is working, how smoothly every level of government is coordinating with every other, and admonishing…

  • [Well, the congressional Repubs can really futch up President Trump and the country if they don't settle quickly on selecting a Speaker.  Operational competency of our political parties is in the toilet.  The Dems have historically led the way, but the Repubs are doing their best to now take the title.  gjr]
