War. . .By Other Means

(War. By Other Means)

The great Prussian military theorist, Kael von Clausewitz, once remarked that war is politics by other means. And the old Junker was right because what is war but a failure of politics to resolve a dispute without violence. The reverse is equally true, however. Politics is war. in the same way. On this, September 3rd, the date Britain and France declared War on Nazi Germany who had invaded Poland two days prior. 


These pages began in 2010, during the Obama Administration. A tendency among Democrats was noted that in order to pass their legislative program, it could not done by popular acclaim. Democrats policies are not generally popular and generally would not win in Congress. That is when a solicitation to the courts is sought, or if that bench is not friendly, or of it is the wrong people on Capitol Hill. In their minds, power is an end in itself that could never be achieved with Constitutional limits. If the Supreme Court was packed ? If Puerto Rico and District of Columbia could be made states with two reliable Democrat Senators apiece ? And, the elimination of the filibuster.


Some people are afraid of Donald Trump the way others had been afraid of Virgina Wolf. That being said, who can say the Democrat attempts to isolate the Republican front-runner are not being carried out like clockwork military operations ? In a perverted fashion, Democrats are using their interpretation of the Law and also using friendly judges and jurisdictions and grand jury counterparts to combine and force the former President off the Campaign trail. Keep in proceedings and away from where he could rally people.


Now, this bespoke two questions and these have been the same ones. Either Trump cannot win the Big Show, or perhaps he can. One of his Appointments will be on the eve of Super Tuesday and, considering how Trump might fare in those early states on the Calander, if the former President has a delegate count going into that special day in March, 2024, and he still prevails ?


It seems that the greater the effort to damage Trump, including the "mug-shot" and the merchandising that has gone with it, Trump's lead among Republicans has escalated and state polls have him at least tied with the President. And, depending on how strong a third-party insurgence might be, Biden actually loses to Trump, 40-39%. But that is still long shot.


But the point has been made.

TEQUILA !

(TEQUILA !) Happy Cinco de Mayo or May 5th. One can hope that a lot of you out there are awash in inebriation, seeking to mainline tequila shots or enjoying a nice margarita on the patio. Or, in other words, relax. Take a breath. De-compress. May 5th as it happens is the anniversary of Mexico's victory over French "occupation" of Mexico by Emperor Maximillian, brother to Austrian monarch Maria Theresa in what has been called the Battle of Puebla. The reason France was in Mexico in the first place was that Mexico, after the Mexican-American War and a more civil conflict called the Reform War, had bankrupted Mexico City. Mexican President at the time was Benito Juarez, who repudiated all foreign debt, of which France, Spain, and the United Kingdom were all major holders. A naval expedition was dispatched to Veracruz and France's Napoleon III thought it would be a good idea to establish a French "empire" in Mexico. But, on May 5th, 1862, in the aforementioned B...

Half Moon Rising

(Half Moon Rising) The Soviet Union detonated its first nuclear weapon on August 29th, 1949. In a flash, literally, the American nuclear monopoly was ended. The year before, in 1948, a plan called Operation HALF MOON anticipated the use of nuclear weapons in any major conflict with the USSR. When the Soviets conducted their test in 1949, Western planners were faced with first "assured destruction" and, once the Soviet arsenal reached a certain level, all weapons all deliverable to American targets, assured destruction evolved into Mutual Assured Destruction. Operation HALF MOON anticipated these events. Today, April 2nd, that President Trump has been saying is "Liberation Day." On this day, the United States will impose tariffs on various countries with varying products and varying rates. In the President's mind, this new trade reciprocity will go into effect to equalize what has seen as an imbalance. Trump is always complaining how the U.S. is being mis-treat...

Pathologies. . .

(Pathologies. . .) What is it called in the DSM 4 ? This is a series of codes used by medical professionals to classify mental disorders. What is a code for compulsion ? Or obsession ? A syndrome where logic gets replaced with intense emotion and an inability to rationalize common sense. That is what happens with so-called climate ac activists. And it is what is happening with Donald Trump. Those suffering from these conditions have a fatal fixation where their only vision is a myopic view where no other options can be considered. When President Biden was campaigning, he promised to end fossil fuels. People should have taken him at his word because there has been nothing else that has caused more damage to the economy than that singular action. But the President has been cancelling appliances as well on the same philosophy as the war on fossil fuels. It has also been gas stoves. It has been toilets. Dishwashers. Air conditioners. And everybody need to drive an electric car. Wh...
