“The Trump administration’s lying-to-Congress case against former FBI director James Comey is a comedy of legal errors that could move offstage soon. But it has highlighted the plain fact that American life and America itself are now being shaped — in terrible, even tragic ways — by people who really did mislead and outright lie to Congress under oath. Let’s start at the top. Not just once but twice, Donald Trump put his hand on a Bible and swore to ‘preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.’ He’s been violating that oath, and lying nonstop in all conceivable venues, ever since. Right below Trump on the organizational chart is the problem wreaking daily havoc on the country: that so many of these havoc perpetrators were less than forthright when they were trying to get their jobs.” (11/24/25)

“Raimondo spent much of his time polemicizing on the latest intervention abroad, but, in 2011, he wrote two articles ‘Why Governments Make War’ and ‘Looking at the Big Picture’ wherein he articulates his theory of libertarian realism. He juxtaposes his theory with traditional realism, that emphasizes the supposed interests of broad states, liberalism, which promises perpetual peace in the tradition of Immanuel Kant, and Marxism, which sees all conflicts as products of the capitalist class structure. Libertarian realism looks to domestic political pressures and influences to inform it on the reason why a state’s foreign policy looks the way it does. If Nobel Prize winner James Buchanan characterized his public choice theory as ‘politics without romance,’ then Raimondo’s realism is international relations without romance.” (11/23/25)

“So, Marjorie Taylor Greene is resigning. I’ll admit, I wouldn’t have seen this coming. But when I read her announcement, it made sense to me. Here are some thoughts: Greene was an ardent MAGA figure. She was with Trump from the beginning. Yet, when she didn’t follow the agenda 100%, she was cast aside. This shows us that, for many, loyalty to Trump is still more important than principles – even if it involves transparency as the world’s most notorious sex trafficker.” (11/23/25)
