Republicans in the House succeeded in getting rid of Speaker McCarthy. For a long time, a group of House Republicans wanted to get rid of McCarthy because he wouldn’t go along with their desire for chaos. Eight House Republicans — who have no interest in governing or even doing the jobs they campaigned for and won election to (that pay…
House Republicans Beyond Delusional
I may have never heard so many House Republicans — all of them — completely divorced from reality. Whether they like or hate Speaker McCarthy, they are all talking as if the Democrats are the problem. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is a Republican. Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz proposed vacating McCarthy from the Speakership of the House. Last week, Republicans brought…
SCOTUS Rules On Hypothetical LGBT Scenario
There are several problems with the SCOTUS Lorie Smith decision. Smith objects to the possibility that if she were to expand her graphic design business to include wedding website design, she might be hired to create a wedding website for a gay couple, and refusing to do that work would violate Colorado civil rights legislation. She argued that being hired…
LGBTQ Despair
Looking back, the overall increase in LGBTQ hate has been measurably escalating since 2016. 2016 is when the tide sharply began to turn against many minority groups in America. The hate of LGBQ people arises in large part from fear of “The Other,” people who are different in a way that seems important, often for odd and irrational reasons. However, the…
Biden Classified Documents Scandal, Explained
Let’s consider the Biden Classified Documents scandal. Late last fall, President Biden’s team found classified docs in Biden’s former office at the Penn Biden Center.

Musk is lying.
Musk is lying. None of the journalists whose accounts Musk suspended from Twitter on Thursday ever Tweeted his location in real time. Musk likes free speech as long as it doesn’t criticize him. Much like a former US government official grifting with badly photoshopped NFTs. From the Washington Post.
What Does The Econo-Political Crystal Ball Say?
Let’s look at Paul’s Econo-Political Crystal Ball: 2022 In the last two months, US inflation growth has slowed. Monthly US inflation rates will stay about the same for another month or two, without going up much. Americans will most likely vote Republicans into US House and (maybe) Senate majorities in November 2022. 2023 Monthly inflation rates will go down as…
Republicans Offer Great Economic Ideas
I heard recently that Republican Party candidates are doing really well against Democratic Party candidates in November election polls because of the U.S. economy, especially relatively high inflation. I wondered if Republicans have proposed great economic ideas. So I decided to look up all the ideas and proposed legislation from Republican Senators and Representatives to address U.S. or global inflation,…
Free-Market Economy?
Many people — especially Republicans — say they want a small United States government that doesn’t regulate much or interfere in the free-market economy. But when demand is high, supplies are relatively low and the free-market economy gives the world high inflation, then what? Instead of simply paying the higher prices and reveling in the glory and joy of a free-market…
The GOP And Antifa
Apparently the GOP does not know that “antifa” means “antifascist.” The GOP is very much against “antifa.” To the GOP, antifa is very bad. The GOP thinks “antifa” is an organization — it is not. But, understand this: if you think “antifa = bad” then you are “pro-fascist.” To be against the anti-fascists means you are pro-fascist. But the GOP…
