Let’s Force Antony Blinken to Resign
No, it would be even better to arrest him for war crimes
•�September 27, 2024
•�2,200 Words •�218 Comments • Reply
Some might argue that Antony Blinken is the worst Secretary of State that the United States has ever had to suffer under even though the competition for that accolade is fierce and includes his recent predecessor Hillary Clinton. Clinton, who more than anyone launched the war against Africa’s most developed nation, is remembered fondly for... Read More
Despite There Being No Criminal Charges, Matt Gaetz Is Accused by Committee of Having Low Ethics
•�June 20, 2024
•�400 Words •�16 Comments • Reply
Thomas Massie is the only Congressman who actually represents what I believe. However, Matt Gaetz would be the second closest. Having two Congressmen who maybe sort of represent the America people is not actually a threat to the government (and if anything, it makes it seem more legitimate than it actually is), but the Jews...

House Passes Legislation Sanctioning “Illegitimate” ICC Over Bibi Arrest Warrant

Take a spoonful of Holocaust and add a dash of chosen ones, and you’ve got yourself a group of people who can do whatever they want to anyone, including slaughtering tens of thousands of children without consequence. This is just basic politics. New York Post: Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) voted “present.”... Read More
Christian Group Enters Senate Cafeteria to Demand Stop of Weapons to Israel, All Arrested
•�April 10, 2024
•�400 Words •�80 Comments • Reply
So, is this a new January 6th? Are these people going to be sent to rot in a special political prison for months and years for having violated the sacred nature of our sweet democracy? It seems only consistent that this would be the case. New York Post: (The people who make these rules are... Read More
Thomas Massie Kicked a Rats Nest by Suggesting Congress Cares More About Israel Than America
•�December 6, 2023
•�500 Words •�131 Comments • Reply
The meme in question is literally true. American patriotism is looked at negatively by Congress, by any measure Thomas Massie posted a meme stating that Congress cares more about protecting Israel than America. This is really just an obvious fact, and that I don’t think can possibly be disputed. Yesterday, I wrote that the “conservakikes”... Read More
Our Third-World Congress
•�October 4, 2023
•�600 Words •�12 Comments • Reply
Three incidents show that the US Congress is nothing Henry Clay would recognize. First, three black men carjacked Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX), a member of the Hispanic Congressional Caucus. Rep. Cuellar gave them the car, admitting that though he has a “black belt,” it would do him no good against men with firearms. Police soon... Read More

Lock Up the White House Silverware!
Volodymyr Zelensky is in town!
•�December 27, 2022
•�1,800 Words •�226 Comments • Reply
In my humble opinion the surfacing of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington last week was possibly the most disgusting example of the corruption of our country and its values since Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu arranged for a similar invitation to address a rapturous Congress back in 2015. Zelensky’s “surprise” visit had in fact been... Read More
Our Remorseless Slide Into “the Politics of Exasperation”—and Worse

[Adapted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively on VDARE.com] Recently I posted here at VDARE.com one of my monthly blogs titled "From Derb's Email Bag." In among the items there I mentioned the widespread failure in the commentariat to note the distinction between a Bill and an Act. That was in regard to... Read More

Structural Crisis: Senate Threatens to Usurp Presidency, Constitution, and Will of the People
•�January 20, 2021
•�7,000 Words •�129 Comments • Reply
By 8 January 2021, Mitch McConnell had determined he would not permit the Senate to try Trump until 19 January 2021 or later. He ruled that the Senate could not convene for special session unless all 100 Senators formally agreed; he maintained that ruling consistently, through 19 January 2021. By 10 January 2021, House majority... Read More
As the Filibuster Goes, So Goes the GOP

"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." This was the nightmare of Ben Franklin. Yet, with passage this spring of a $4 trillion bailout of an economy facing historic losses because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and Nancy Pelosi's House having voted out another $3... Read More

Who the Hell Is Mitch McConnell Anyway?
And Why Would Anyone Care?
•�August 2, 2019
•�1,000 Words •�105 Comments • Reply
It is curious: Though I have for decades worked in journalism, mostly in Washington, I know almost nothing of Congress. I mean this literally. I do not know who Mitch McConnell is, his function, or his politics, though I have the impression that he is a Republican. Who was, or is, Paul (I think it... Read More

Congress in Search of a Bordello

In accordance with the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 (CAA) the Office of Compliance (OC) compiled and published shocking statistics listing (1) the number of settlements paid to its employees and interns after allegations of abuse by legislators; (2) the total amount of dollars paid by US Treasury to the victims of Congressional workplace abuse....

Trump Dumps the Do-Nothing Congress
•�September 8, 2017
•�900 Words •�16 Comments • Reply
Donald Trump is president today because he was seen as a doer not a talker. Among the most common compliments paid him in 2016 was, "At least he gets things done!" And it was exasperation with a dithering GOP Congress, which had failed to enact his or its own agenda, that caused Trump to pull... Read More

Who Are Boehner and Pelosi? - A Slough of Irrelevance

•�1,100 Words •�68 Comments • Reply
I am a reasonably retired mid-level journalist of no import but much experience, interested in international affairs, law, society, education, and political trends. Yet, God’s truth, I do not know who Boehner and Pelosi are, or were, and now somebody or something called Ryan. Yes, I know that they are in Congress, or were, but... Read More
Warfare, Welfare, and Wonder Woman — How Congress Spends Your Money
•�January 20, 2014

Supporters of warfare, welfare, and Wonder Woman cheered last week as Congress passed a one trillion dollar “omnibus” appropriation bill. This legislation funds the operations of government for the remainder of the fiscal year. Wonder Woman fans can cheer that buried in the bill was a $10,000 grant for a theater program to explore the... Read More

OK, I have almost made it through my second year as a citizen of this splendid Republic. I think I know the ropes, now, and am au fait with all the essentials of being a Yankee Doodle Dandy. I live in a quiet suburb, in a detached house with a Stars and Stripes hanging proudly... Read More
