A Great Day for the American People
Spearchucker was bored – the talking heads were frustrated by the lack of conflict – and 10 adults spent over two hours discussing issues of vital importance to the American people. All in all, it was illuminating and uplifting experience to watch the debates last night. I can only hope that tonight’s 10 rise to […]

If You Are a Republican, this is your Party – Part 3
The foundations of the tragedy that is the Republican Party are to be found in the complicity of silent assent. Even in the face of abominations, those who hide behind self-assurances that they truly represent the Republican Party and that the current administration is a perversion, their silence is an abomination most corrosive. This is […]

She’s Not My Type…
With yet another woman accusing the president of rape, the pattern of his responses indicates his attitude towards women. Apparently, for Spearchucker, women divide into five groups. The first are his “type”. The ones that he brags about grabbing by the pussy. They are apparently party girls with a relatively limited intellect and aberrant moral […]

If You Are a Republican This is Your Party – Part II
In the first part of this series ( https://www.dr-smith.info/if-you-are-... ), I described how Republican State Senators from Oregon have turned into fugitives from their elected responsibilities and into domestic terrorists through their threats of violence against law enforcement officers. These anti-Americans have formed an alliance with right-wing militias and most of them have fled to […]

Manchurian Candidates – Part Two
In an earlier post (Manchurian Candidates – https://www.dr-smith.info/manchurian-...), I described efforts of the adversaries of Madisonian Republicanism to undermine the majority rule by funding candidates who would reflexively serve the interests of the wealthy and radically redefine the structure of American government. The examples I cited ranged from Mike Pompeo, the Kansas Congressman who, more […]

If you are a Republican, this is Your Party
Next time you hear some talking head described themselves as a “Republican Strategist” marvel at the eunuch proudly proclaiming their impotency. You want to know what a Republican really is? Let’s take a trip to Oregon. All 11 Republican senators have gone into hiding in order to prevent the Oregon State Senate from having the […]

Re-balancing the Republic
Let’s start with the obvious. All politicians are narcissists. You must possess a somewhat messianic tendency and a strong belief that you are uniquely qualified. It’s almost a job requirement because nobody, without such tendencies, would run the gauntlet that running for office and public service involves. This is particularly true when it comes to […]

Generational warfare whether you want it or not
Here is a message for all millennials and those who have come after them. It’s from an article by David Smiley in the May 31, 2018 issue of the Miami Herald. “Jeff Goodell spent months reporting in Miami Beach, which was literally built on sand dredged up from the bottom of Biscayne Bay. He managed […]

A Coal Day in Hell
Surprise, surprise! Andrew Wheeler, the EPA Chief and a former coal lobbyist, has signed a replacement rule that makes it easier for states to avoid requiring efficiency upgrades for existing coal-fired plants. Get ready for the campaign contributions from the owners of coal mining companies to come flooding in two Republican coffers. In defense of […]
Not Above the Law, Beyond the Law
The blanket use of executive privilege by the current occupant of the White House is designed to put anyone who works for the executive branch beyond the law. It’s not a question of whether they can commit a crime when directed to act by the President. The real point of the strategy is to provide […]
