“We’re told that the national debt is about to murder the economy in its bed …. Given that taxation is already at historical highs as a level of everything more of that’s not going to work. The idea that there will ever be any significant cuts in spending is, aha, aha, one of those solutions not to be found in the possible space of political solutions. Sure, we’d be delighted to point to all the things government shouldn’t be doing to bring the bill down but we do agree that a Parliament that would do this is unlikely. Which leaves only the one other possible solution — change the denominator. Debt at 100/100 is a different thing from debt at 100/200. So, grow the economy.” (06/08/26)

“When I survey the long parade of presidents who led this country, from giants like Washington and Lincoln to the mediocrities and failures, one man stands apart as uniquely destructive: Woodrow Wilson. When he entered the White House in 1913, he brought unusual credentials: a doctorate from Johns Hopkins, a scholarly reputation, and experience leading Princeton University. Americans thought they were getting their first true scholar-president. What they got instead was the worst president in American history, a man whose toxic blend of intellectual arrogance, racial prejudice, and authoritarian instincts inflicted wounds on this country that we are still trying to heal. Wilson’s academic background shaped everything in his presidency, sometimes for better, often for worse. He approached governing like a professor addressing a stubborn class, convinced that if he explained things clearly enough, everyone would eventually see the wisdom of his vision.” (06/08/26)

“This year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner should have been the same as any other: a beloved, annual tradition that brings together the media, politicians, and administration officials to celebrate our free press, build relationships, and honor the First Amendment. Instead, the event served as a reminder of the urgent need to modernize and secure the White House complex. The third assassination attempt of President Donald Trump proves these are no longer random acts. This is a pattern.” [editor’s note: And yet Trump is going out to a basketball game. Apparently security is only a considerration when he wants to build something – TLK] (06/08/26)

“‘We had the idea of a beacon,’ said the architect who designed the Obama Presidential Center.
It looks like … a triumph of brutalist … whimsy? (Is that even possible?) A science-fictional housing for our ET overlords, maybe. Or something worse. Perhaps Baphomet poses inside. You’ve probably seen the outside of the monstrosity by now. If you’re like me, you’ve marveled at this triumph of bad taste. It surely symbolizes something, but what?” (06/08/26)
